Help! I can't distribute forms, or email them at all in Adobe Acrobat Pro

I have wasted an entire weekend attempting to email, distribute etc. forms out of the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2 I just bought. I have uninstalled and redownloaded and I just get the error "unable to connect with mail." I am working off of my Macbook Pro 10.5.8. I will include some screen shots below. I have go to make this work. I also can't send any pdf attachment, I drag and drop, thats a no go, from mail I go through the add attachment and select the pdf that way, and won't go. I'm losing my mind. Any info is appreciated, I have searched all formus and googled to no avail. Oh I am using the student teacher version as well. Thanks

Well I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than I would come and nail this thing for you...
But I think you have moved another step forward by showing that Pro can actually send a file. Therefore in my inexpert opinion, you cannot send the form because of its internal functionality upsetting the email security. Try sending from another email system.
Also, now that I recall, in the distant past I learned the hard way that there is a 'publish' process with those forms and you may not have quite finished the form...check your manual for a final step.
Please somebody fill in that gap for us!!
Adobe student versions are usually (if not always) identical to the full ones AFAIK.

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

Adobe also has Acrobat.com and there is DropBox.com. Adobe has also announced Adobe Document Cloud.
Forms central provide a subscription service for users with Reader to create simple forms. Apparently this did not meet a majority of users and with the minimal price difference for Acrobat and free web storage the users were better served without it. I expect cloud services will continue to emerge until providers better and more fully understand the user requirements.

Can anyone give me an easy link to reload my Adobe Acrobat Pro? It won't accept any updates.

Which model Macbook Pro do you have?
Which os version do you have?
Which version of Safari do you have?
Have you considered switching browsers?

I'm having difficulty seeing capital letters in PDF copies edited

Hi Rebecca Thompson,
Do you mean capital letters are missing from your PDF?
Are you facing this issue with a particular pdf or with all the pdf files?
Could you provide screenshot of the file in which you are facing this issue?

Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the "The field is the average of:"?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 Sticky Note Icons are huge and can not resize

My coworker is having a problem with the size of the Sticky Note (comments) Icon. It is huge and we can not resize.
When you open the icon, it takes up the whole page. We can change the Font size, but the actual icon will not resize.
The same document opened up from someone else, the icon views normal. We all have Adobe Acrobat Pro V9.4.6. Any suggestions on a fix?
Thank You.

JimJSC,
Your reply also helped fix a problem I had with not being able to resize sticky notes. My original display resolution meant that the resize symbols in the lower corners of the sticky note weren't accessible. In Acrobat X, the setting is under Acrobat, Preferences, Page Display, Resolution.

How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

First, a little background to describe our situation:
I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers, have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
Here's the problem though:
Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
So, is there some way to get around this issue?
Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!
I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
Some other ideas?
Thank you though!

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

Cannot get C7280 to scan with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0. Can you help?

I know this may not be the right place to post this, but here goes. I'm using 10.5.2 along with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0, a HP C7280 AIO connected to network via wireless. The normal software I use is HP Scan Pro.
Here's my problem. When I try to scan from Acrobat it will either open the scan pro software, show acrobat as the place to scan to in the bottom, but not do anything. If I "accept", it crashes Acrobat OR it will say it can't communicate, so either way it doesn't work. Any ideas how to make this work?
Thx

Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

Good day in2psy,
As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.
Kind regards,
