Having Reader be able to save a completed fill able form.

Is there any way to allow someone with Reader to have the ability to save the information added in on a fill able PDF form? I have tried several different things and it always says it can only save a blank document.
What about having the email submit button automatically email the person who is filling the information in? As in the email will vary based on which desktop it is being filled on.
Or do they need standard or professional? If so, would standard do the job?

Trust me, Acrobat Pro will allow you to both save the filled out PDF AND save the XML, separately. Reader WILL NOT allow you to do this, but if you have an email button. The point of reader extensions is to allow people without Acrobat to be able to save a filled out form, thus why reader is free. Reader extensions works on a form by form basis, so it can be portable. Acrobat Pro, which ISNT free, allows you to do all of this, which is why it isnt free. The point is that Adobe doesnt want anyone to have any save capability without having to pay for it first. If you have a form with an email submit button, you can open it in reader, click it, and email the xml with the values in it.

  • Why can't I save a recently filled-in form (PDF) in Adobe Reader Touch app on Dell tablet?

    I recently purchased a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet and installed Adobe Reader Touch so that I could view, fill-in, save, and print PDFs.  I do have the newest version (2.0), but whenever I try to save/save as after filling in a form, it won't let me.  I can print the PDF....but cannot save it.  I am aware (or think) that this function is a newer feature for this app....but cannot understand why it is not working for me.  Can someone please explain why I am running into this issue?  Should I be able to perform this task with the 2.0 version....or are these functions not available yet?
    Thank you for any guidance!

    There is a special subforum for the Touch version of Reader:

  • Please help...How do I save a created fill in form so it is usable by all?

    I scanned and saved as a PDF a document that needs to be filled out.  I opened it and created the fill in form and saved it to our shared file.  However no one can use it unless they have the full version of Adobe installed.  What do I need to do so it can be filled out by anyone even if they only have the reader?  Please help need the brownie points with the boss.
    Thanks

    Open the document in Acrobat and select: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    This is for Acrobat 8 & 9. In Acrobat 10, it's an option under: File > Save As...
    But be aware that there are licensing restrictions for such enabled documents. In short, if you distribute the form to more than 500 recipients (as you do when you post it to a publicly available web site, for example), you may collect data form no more than 500 instances of the form that has been returned to you, including hard copies. If you distribute it to fewer than 500 recipients, you can collect data from an unlimited number of returned forms.

  • I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar.

    How do I get it to work? I am thinking of going back to an earlier version.
    Thanks.

    Well, I have tried filling up the same IRS Form 1040 on my Mac machine with Reader 11.0.07 installed and faced no such issue. I even downloaded the PDF to my machine and I was still able to fill-up the form.
    How are downloading the PDF file? Hope you are using the Save as option from with in Reader plugin and not the Safari Saved as option. The detailed instructions for doing so are as follows:
    Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
    or
    To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...

  • Reader X for iPad or similar - to Fill In Forms?

    Is there Reader X for iPad or something similar? I need to fill in pre formatted PDF forms and save changes using a convenient device. I can do this on my Windows based PC (but that is not portable). I have already created the forms and now they may be useless if they cannot be used for typing in/on other environments. I don't think this basic function is a difficult request of mine if another platform already has the facility ... Can anyone provide the solution???

    Hi George,
    That means a lot . Now I just need to know when.

  • Emailing completed(filled out) forms

    Every time I fill out a form, sign it and try to email it. The form gets received blank again. Why? 

    The form must be viewed in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, and it will look fine. There is a limitation in iOS (iPad/iPhone) which prevents a proper preview from being viewed.

  • Is it possible to save a completed form?

    Yes, with a paid account you can export any response to PDF.

  • Filling PDF forms with in-house software - pdf no longer works in Reader

    I have created a PDF form in Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro and enabled the "Filling of form fields" feature.
    1)
    I can open this form in Adobe Reader, fill fields, save, load / repeat process as many times as I want with no problems.
    What we would like to be able to do is "pre-fill" some of the form fields using an in-house application with some data and save. At a later time, users would need to add additional information.
    If I open one of these pre-filled forms with Adobe Reader, it immediately gives an error message and closes the file:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    Other programs such as "Foxit" and "AmiUni PDFSuite" don't seem to care that the file was pre-filled.
    Is this because Adobe Reader actually checks some sort of CRC or signature which was created at the time the initial PDF form was created by Adobe Pro - and if the signature is no longer valid Adobe Reader won't go any further?
    2)
    What would be the options to get around this problem? Is there a way to accomplish this with Adobe Pro? We need to be able to pre-fill some fields in the form from our application, then have the user complete filling the form manually.
    Thanks!

    Enabling usage rights in reader grants specific rights for a given document - form fill in, saving, signing, etc. Reader checks if something else has been done to the document beyond the scope of the rights granted and apparently the program you are using to add the form data is triggering this test for some reason. There is a digital signature which isused to check this, plus an analysis of what has changed in incremental save sections.
    What you are trying to do should work in principal. If the developer of the application is available, have them look at what else is being changed besides the addition of form data. They should be able to fix the problem.
    If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.

  • Can't email fill-able form

    Hi I can't email a completed fill-able form.
    It reads (Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program)
    thanks Tom

    Hi genshield,
    To email a PDF, you will have to have a valid desktop email application(like microsoft outlook) on your machine.
    If you dont have an email application configured on your machine, you can use adobe SendNow Online from tools->send files.

  • I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form created in Acrobat being non savable in Reader

    Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
    I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
    Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
    Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

    I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
    At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.

  • I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

    Hi,
    I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
    or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
    I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
    I know that reader extension can be
    1. cached
    2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
    3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
    Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
    I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
    You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
    I have a summary here:
    http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
    Also have a look at the Adobe page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
    Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
    Good luck,
    Niall
