Forms central sunsetting

I am trying to determine if Forms Central will be closing completely in June or just not providing technical support?

Hi nancyl99177836,
FormsCentral will be retired completely on July 28 2015. This document outlines the schedule: End of support | Adobe FormsCentral.
Best,

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file. It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Editing a Form Central PDF in Acrobat Pro

I've created a multi-page form with F Central and need it to be editable in Acrobat Pro. "Save a Copy" in Acrobat Pro does not remove the security and thusly the form cannot be edited. Was I misled by Acrobat marketing and now I am stuck with a form that I can ONLY edit using Forms Central?   Can anyone help?

I don't know if I was very clear. I want the users to fill out a form and click a button when they are done.   Then I want the result of clicking the button to be for the form to print to Adobe PDF first followed by emailing to me. Right now the way I set the button up (below), I receive the actual form via email.
"Actions" tab,
"Mouse up,
    Execute a menu item
        File>Save as>PDF...
    Submit a form"
I want a non editable printed/ refried version AKA "print to Adobe PDF" on the menu items sent to me instead of the actual form. I have searched all over but can't find if this is possible.

How do I buy forms central - the web site is not working, Tried the phone, thats an hour I won't get back!

Is there anyone on here that can assist in my purchase of form central. I really need this product urgently but have been trying for 2 days to purchase. I spent an hour on the phone with someone that sounded like they were in a noisy beach hut somewhere who seemed to think that it was my inability to use the site and took me through it step by step to get the same result, she then said OH, our servers are down, you can use the site for free and come back in 4 hours and they will be working - -NOT!.
I assume Adobe actually employs someone somewhere that can help, certainly phone sales weren't interested and the phone number that came up on the dialogue box didn't connect anywhere

Hi;
I forwarded your issue to a Support team that should reach out to you to assist. It would be quickest if they could give you a call, if you do not have a current number listed in your Adobe account can you send me a private message through the forum with it, or just email it to me and I will forward to Support? Email [email protected]
Thanks,
Josh

How do I import multiple responses from outside Forms Central into a form at one time?

I created a survey in Word, used Adobe to make into a fillable pdf, emailed it to the prospective respondents, and I have received many emailed responses. I have uploaded my original form to Adobe Forms and now I would like to upload those responses into Forms Central to make use of its reporting capabilities. How can I import all of my repsonses into Forms Central?

Hi,
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but Randy had mentioned a bug in Chrome regarding copy/paste. I've been searching for hours for a solution, but nothing on Google Chrome and c/p for the fillable area of a pdf document. Google forums have not yielded anything about fillable forms, so I'm hoping an Adobe forum would be more knowledgable.
I have a fillable form online where the fillable area cannot be pasted into or copied out of while using Google Chrome. Note that the text already on the document can be c/p'ed. You can see it here: http://www.centralcallegal.org/eictaxcampaign/Coverform.pdf This is a form for our self-help computer kiosks which use Google Chrome. The form is designed so users can copy and paste their own info into the cover sheet so there won't be any typos.
Without looking at alternative methods of using the form (i.e. saved on desktop), is there a way to fix this copy/paste issue? It is definitely a Google Chrome issue, as c/p works fine in IE and Mozilla. Thank you.

How can I expand text fields in my PDF file which I built in Forms Central?

I'm working in Windows 7 and just created my first form in Forms Central. I have many text fields that I intended for the end user to be able to type as much information in them as necessary. I selected the "multiple lines of text" setting for each of these fields. I was told by someone at Adobe a while back when I was trying to decide on learning LiveCycle Designer or using the much more user-friendly Forms Central that the form fields would not automatically expand in the PDF form, but that I would be able to click or drag on the fields manually to expand them so that, ultimately, they could be printed with all the comments, for however many pages it would take. I've exported my Forms Central form to a PDF file. However, when I type multiple lines of text in the form fields I set up to be "unlimited," I cannot get the form fields to expand. What have I done wrong? Help, please!

We are dealing with a similar situation. We have downloaded LiveCycle and created the form, but as we knew would happen, the changes that come for the content of the form are causing us to max our trial version, and as soon as the form needs a change outside of the trial time period, we are faced with the next dilemma, as Adobe doesn't offer to purchase a single license at a reasonable rate. The only reason we wanted LiveCycle was for the dynamic field feature. I plead with you to consider offering that feature in Forms Central. The other issue that we are having is that our users sometimes need to paste a table into the expandable text field. Is that even possible in Live Cycle? We don't at this point need the web-based functioning that Live Cycle offers. Thank you.

How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

Using Form Central you can distribute your form as a web-based HTML form, a fillable PDF form, or both.
You can copy the URL or the embed code for the form and post it on your website. When a respondent clicks the link, the fillable form opens in a browser window.
The only exception: These options don’t apply to fillable PDF forms that you imported into Adobe FormsCentral.
Please refer to the article http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSd789abd336388b16-9d277de12da94c8037-8000. html#WS49f7d3dd80da808f7c9fcbc138d00a7399-8000.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Modifying a PDF created from an Adobe Forms Central form.

I've created a PDF from an Adobe Forms Central online form (Create PDF from web page). I was surprised that all of the text fields were created for me, but was happy that I may not have to reverse engineer everything.
However the layout for the form is for a web-based submission and not really the right size for a PDF that I can attach in an email, potentially for printing. I'd like it to be printable at 8.5X11 if possible. There are also a few aspects of it that I would like to remove since it has instructions and the button for online submission. I want people to have the option of printing or filling out the form, saving it, and replying with it as an attachment.
Is it possible to modify the PDF at this point to reduce its size? Can I remove the instructions on what to do as well as the submit button, especially while saving the background coloring? It seems like there is quite a bit of wasted space with the headers/footers too. At 8.5X14, it still hangs over into page 2.
The form can be found at: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=oEsnPs*6J8xiF7XlraAsLA
Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not the one who created the form and don't have any templates or anything that were used.

Acrobat Pro Ver 9.4.5

Steve, if you have access to the form in Formscentral, you can temporarily add a second page in Formscentral. Go to the place you want a page break, and click on the + button on the left top of the field where you want the break, and click on the "Page break". Now when you go to the HTML form it should show you only one page, with a next button to go to the second page. You could then copy the URL into Acrobat's "Create PDF" and get tha page. Then click on the next button in the HTML to go to the second page. You should be able to create the second page from that one too, and then combine the 2 pages in your PDF. When you're done you could remove the page break back in Formscentral.
Hope that helps

Ability to edit a form created in Forms Central

When I open a form created in forms central in acrobat pro XI, how can I get permission to add a watermark? The system says I do not have permission to make the change. That makes sense, but can I save it in Forms Central with a password that would allow me to further edit it is Acrobat Pro XI? Is there an alternative solution?

I am new to adobe and new to forums altogether, so I apologize in advance for any errors and difficulties. I have installed the trial version of adobe acobat XI pro and have created a form in form central. Initially I saved a test form as a pdf and emailed it to myself. When I opened the file on my iphone using reader was able to fill in the fields using my iphone's dictation. I have since added additional fields and customized the form, but now I am unable to utilize the dictation feature on my iphone to fill in the fields.... HELP!

Why not keep Forms Central as a separate product to stand and sell on its own. I use it for client information to process their data-ptocessing in my mailing business; do not need or want electronic tabulation. I would be happy to pay several hundred doll

I use a Forms Central form to ask questions of clients to return with their mailing database; tabulation is not wanted or required. From the answers and boxes marked, I have most or all the information to process data in accordance with the United States Postal Service. After, I return the data and paperwork including eDoc worked so that my company wins, the US Postal Service and my client (and possibly their client) wins! If Forms central was simply an interactive forms builder used for direct B2B or B2C information, it would be a winner. If I wanted SurveyMonkey, then would get it but I and others like me do not need or want tabulation services as I assume Adobe looked at Forms Central as a cash cow; it isn't that at all for me.

Problem with Submit Button in Adobe Forms Central

I have a PDF form that I uploaded to Adobe Forms Central. I created the fillable fields & the submit button in Forms Central. I have several documents like this. All have worked in the past. Today on my latest file, the submit button doesn't always work. I am getting some submissions, but some people have reported to me that the submit button does not work. I tested it myself to see. I had to create a Digital ID for myself, which seemed to work fine. But when I click on submit, the form says "Submission Failed. This form can no longer be submitted. Please contact the author." I'm the author & don't know what the problem is. Anyone know what the problem could be?

The form is open. I should have mentioned that I made sure to check that first. The form was created by uploading an existing PDF file that I created from a MS Word file to Adobe FormsCentral. Once the form was completed, I had a coworker test it & it worked. We sent the form out & I have received some back, but have also received reports of the form not working. I downloaded the form to my computer & tested it using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard. I use a Windows environment on a Dell laptop. The form does not work for me.

How do you change a "row Label" in form central into an interactive text box?

How do you change a "row Label" in form central into an interactive text box? I need to leave some of the row labels plank so that people using the form can add some of their on labels. Can this be done and if so how?

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Respondents (fillers of the form) cannot edit the label of a field.
