Help inserting a filled out pdf form into a pdf report.

Why can I not insert a filled out pdf form into my pdf reports? I am new to Adobe Acrobat X.

See what it says under: File > Properties > Description > PDF Producer
If it's an XFA form, is should say something like "Adobe LiveCycle Designer [version#]"
You can also open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and enter the following line of code:
xfa
and with the cursor on the line, hit Ctrl+Enter, of the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
If it's an XFA form it will return:
[object XFAObject]
Otherwise, it will return "xfa is not defined" and other stuff.

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.

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

Inserting PDF form into Word

I am needing to insert an interactive PDF form into a section in a word document. It is an approval page and MUST be pdf-protected, but still let the user fill in the areas where allowed. Word lets me insert this file and I am able to type in the areas where needed - the interactive feature works great to this point. Even after saving what I've typed/entered, it still doesn't display what I typed in Word (the inserted interactive PDF). Can anyone tell me how I can get my pdf to work properly this way?

I have not done this but I can assure you that there is nothing in Designer to do with this. At that point it is a PDF so how woudl you add any other PDF to your swing panel?

Unable to fill out interactive form fields in the pdf form.

I'm unable to fill out interactive form fields in the pdf tax form in Reader 11.0.06 with purple bar inviting to do so.

The only Flash Player that is remotely connected to Adobe Reader is the plugin.
Can you temporarily uninstall the plugin (or both ActiveX and plugin using http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and see if the problem disappears?
Reinstall both using these installers http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_text_4

How do I fill out a form already converted from pdf to word

how do I fill out a form i converted from pdf to a word doc?

What kind of "form" is it? A .pdf or .doc file?
Generally I would save the file somewhere (desktop or document folder). There is a save button for attachments in mail's header section. Then open the file with an appropriate app like Adobe Reader for .pdf files or Word or Pages for .doc files. Fill out the form and save. Then email the form back as an attachment.

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?

How may i fill out a form on a scanned form saved in pdf format?

how may i fill out a form on a scanned form saved in pdf format?

With Acrobat you can either add interactive form fields (manually or with the Form Wizard), or you can use the Typewriter tool to add a type of text comment. Exactly how you do either of these depends on which version of Acrobat you're using.
If you only have Reader, there's nothing you can if the document doesn't have interactive form fields or if it hasn't been Reader-enabled to allow use of the typewriter tool or other commenting.

I need help filling out my form

i jus recently recieved an application to fill out and i cant fill out the form with the adobe. please help me fill out my form

If the people that created the form didn't add fillable form fields, all you can do is print it and fill it out by hand.

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.

Thanks for your reply.
I've converted photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
"Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this.

Filling out a form demo

What is the best way in Adobe Captivate to demonstrate filling out a form with Narration? I have several pdf forms that are interactive and I want to be able to narrate as I record live action movements. I used the software simulation setting and it ended up looking choppy and confusing. I'm in the process of a trial download of Captivate and I'd like to have this some what figured out before I decide to purchase it. I bought a subscription to Lynda.com to try and understand a little more but it wasn't too much help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi there
Typically those are done by narrating at the same time as you use the software. (I recently created some of these for a different company. A Lynda competitor)
As you might imagine, it's often like filming a motion picture and you end up with many "takes" to get just the right one.
Cheers... Rick

Installing a premade form into a pdf

I am using acrobat 10 pro and windows 7. My company has several files of their manuals. These files are interactive. Clicking on a PayPal logo within the document takes the user to a PayPal page that is a page made up for our company, where people can pay for their courses.
Looking at the action for this link shows a one line of code. The file I was given from PayPal consists of 5 lines of code. How do I install this form into the pdf so it works? Here is the code of one link in a file that works. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8961306..
Here is what I got from PayPal. <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="2GPSXZ5LKLX22">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
When I try to insert this into the document, it just stays the same way.
The document has gone though livecycle designer. I have added fields for people's address, name, etc.. I tried to get this PayPal file in before any changes were made to the PDF and also after opening it in Designer.
I would like some help inserting this so it works.

That is HTML code. You can't put HTML code into a PDF! You must examine the HTML and understand what it does; perhaps it can be translated to the same concept in a PDF form.

Hey gregery,
Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
Also, go to File> Properties> Security and check whether form filling is allowed or not as shown below:

What do I need to fill out a form created in JetForm?

I receive a form that I need to fill out, save and send back. The problem is the form sent to me is a JetForm. What software/designer do I need to just fill out these forms? Are there any free downloads?
Thank you

Since Adobe acquired Accelio, formerly JetForms, in April of 2002, I am surprised the form has not been revised using Adobe's LiveCycle Designer.
If the form has a file type of PDF then form could be filled out and printed by Adobe Reader. If you need to save the form, the author would have had to apply Extended Form Rights with a more current version of Acrobat.
