Freezes while filling out login form to websites

I've been experiencing this for over a month now. Basically, occasionally when logging into a website (i.e. google, designers.mx, amazon, etc. -- really doesn't matter what site it seems), Lion will entirely freeze up for seconds to up to minutes. More specifically it occurs when tabbing from the username to the password field. This will happen both in Chrome and Firefox. I had thought it was related to maybe firefox add-ons (i.e. I have 1password, but i've disabled them and have had it still happen. I do use firebug, but wouldn't think it was related to this issue...
I've already verified there are no issues in the keychain access as well.
I can sometimes unfreeze momentarily it by pressing the power button briefly.
I'm also up-to-date on all my Lion updates.
Any help is most appreciated.

I am so glad I see this posting! I have the same issues for a long time now and I was just going to post my own thread!
The freezing is related to any pasword promopt for me - not just in FF or chrome. Its for VNC, and even mac's own screenserver password prompt!
I found a hack to unfreeze the screen thought with out waiting for 2mins.
On the right bottom corner (where DVD drive is) hold it tight and give a twist like u want to break the laptop. You will see that the screen unfreezes immediately. I do this pretty much everytime I get prompted for password these days.
Something bizare is going on! I have not found a way to permanently fix it till now.

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

I disabled autocomplete but it continues to fill out my forms.

I have done everything to keep autocomplete from filling out my forms...it continues to do so. I have gone to privacy settings, reset firefox and nothing seems to work. There are pages that I am forwarding to others that have my private information and would like to continue to do so but nothing is working! Help!!!!!

Hi,
You can [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/update/ update Firefox] and deselect '''Remember search and form history''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Privacy'''. You can then '''Clear Now''' the '''Form and Search History''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History].

If problems persist, you can reset Firefox and start afresh with the above setting.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Filling out a form scanned to PDF

Is this Possible? I would like to be able to fill out this form that I scanned to pdf...while it is still in the computer, then print it out completed so I can mail it off. I just can not seem to figure this out, please help!

This isn't a question about PDF Specifications; this really seems to
be about software.
If you have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, the answer is
yes. Please ask in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat Macintosh forum.
if you have Adobe Reader only the answer is no.... but you also have
some software to scan to PDF, so see if that has a forum.

I am new to working with pdf. I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a web site. I have a Macbook Pro. I am just learning Acrobat. How do I get the form to accept input?

If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

Filling out online forms with java

I wanted to create a program that will fill out a form on a website by running a java program. COuld anyone tell me what i would use to make the program fill in i guess a text feild and then select a radio button and submitting the results? I tried looking through books and online but i dont even know what im looking for really.

Maybe look for browser plugin programming. Otherwise, I don't know how a Java application (as opposed to an Applet) could ever access an HTML page in a browser window.
At least not without going native. On Win machines, you might use something like the Java-Com bridge to access the IE's API... if it provides one and its methods help you to do what you intend.

Filling out Web form

Good evening,
I created our first web grant form (with writable fields, and fields for attachments).
We will have this form linked to our website (right now we are testing it).
I would like to verify, when people fill the form out over longer period of time (say they might take breaks in between), do they get cut out, or not? (I clicked on our test link, left the form open, and filled out fields randomly over 4 hours period, than submitted and it did not kicked me out.) However, I am the administrator, so it might be little different for me?
My other question is, if we could avoid the following - after people click on the "submit" button on the webform, they actually could go back afterward with the "back" arrow, and might correct some information and re-submit again (which might be confusing for collectiong data). Is there a way, that we could avoid that? Could we create a message e.g."we are sorry, but you already submitted your application once"? Just wondering.
My last question is, if people need to have adobe reader to be able to fill out the web grant form?
Thanks you for your help,

Question 1: I would like to verify, when people fill the form out over longer period of time (say they might take breaks in between), do they get cut out, or not?
- No, as long as they don't close the form in their browser, they should be able to finish filling out the form and submit.
Question 2: Is there a way, that we could avoid that? Could we create a message e.g."we are sorry, but you already submitted your application once"? Just wondering.
- Sorry, FormsCentral currently don't have that functionality. You may vote on a feature request at http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea or add a new idea by clicking on "Submit Feature Request" in the page http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral.
Question 3: if people need to have adobe reader to be able to fill out the web grant form?
- No, users don't need to have adobe reader to fill out web forms.

Filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

Hi angel07h,
Did you try to save the file, but the save was unsuccessful? Or did you just not have a chance to save the file? Where did you get the form? Did you download it from a website, or fill it out directly on a website?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

My autofill stopped working recently. I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked. When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
Edit ▹ AutoFill Form
from the menu bar. You may have to reload the page in order to do this.
4. Select
Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
and uncheck the box marked
Enable private me card
if it's checked.
5. Select your card in Contacts. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.
6. In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Contacts card
If the box was already checked, uncheck it and then check it again.
7. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
8. Run Software Update and install any available updates.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

Filling out a form in adobe reader

Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
Thanks
tutorben

That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

Problem filling out a form exported from pdf to docx.

I "successfully" exported a pdf form to word docx. The form looks exactly like the original. However, when I attempt to fill in the blanks (which are large) the text gets dropped in vertically e.g. first name la
st name (on a lower line). I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Filling out this form is urgent, and the only reason I purchased this program. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Catherine,
I'd like to assist!
The file may have converted as an image, possibly due to poor quality.
Are you able to bring the words together by utilizing your 'back' key?
Let me know how it goes if you try converting it again.
Kind regards, Stacy

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.
