How do I create a form in Adobe Reader

Adobe retiring Forms Central on July 28, 2015. I would like to know what other alternatives Adobe offers.

Adobe Reader cannot create PDF docs of any kind; you would need Acrobat for that.
As for the replacement of FormsCentral, have a look around https://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral

  • How to create saveable forms for Adobe Reader 6.0 using Acrobat Pro 9?

    Hi
    I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES (Acrobat Pro 9).
    I only need to create a simple pdf form where the user enters data and saves the file with the data using Adobe Reader 6.
    What are the steps to convert a Reader Extended PDF forms version 1.6 (Reader 7) to version 1.5 (Reader 6)?
    Thanks
    Bela

    Any luck here? I have just a subset of your challenge, i.e., I want to get forms designed in Designer 8.2/Acrobat 9 to work in Reader 7.0.5
    Thanks!

  • How do I create a bookmark on Adobe Reader X?

    I have a lot of Engineering reference books in .pdf format that have no bookmarks to chapters/topics. Am I able to create bookmarks on Reader X or would I need the full acrobat software? Bookmarking these documents would make life a lot easier when sourcing info so any help would be massively appreciated!

    I am so naive that I'm using Adobe READER as my default PDF READER, and I expect bookmarks to be default functionality of any READER.
    Pushing it to the paid PRO functionality is really nasty. Why not then push 'Open' function to Acrobat Pro: Wanna open PDF — buy Acrobat Pro!
    Really without a sarcasm: there is a whole lot of convenient functions in Acrobat Pro, and I'm okay with the fact that it is paid. But bookmarks is really a BASIC feature of reading experience, its like scrolling pages, it's a feature of an 'MVP kind', I mean if you're making a reader — bookmarks should be there from the very start. And even more: it is SOOO easy to implement, that the fact it is from the 'PRO' set of functions is funny!

  • How can i save a form in adobe reader than only allows you to type info but doesnt allow you to save

I tried numerous of times to submit it but the person on the other end is not receiving it. I am able to print it though!  
    I was trying to attach the file to the an email but it doesnt save the info. I have been trying different things and nothing is working. what else can I do?
    i have the file and i tried to insert the image for you to see, but it gave me an error " [The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
    Yeah, THAT'S a limitation which was set when the original author created and saved the form. You CANNOT undo it with Reader. You may be able to with Acrobat Pro, but if the PDF has DRM you can't touch it.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • How can I create a form in FormsCentral be a self-correcting quiz for my students?

    How can I create a form in FormsCentral be a self-correcting quiz for my students?

    Hi;
    You can't make it self correcting.
    The only related idea I have is you could publish the Response Table (the "View Response" tab).  You could add an entry for the "right" answers so after a student completes the form the re-direct URL could take them to the Response Table where they could see their entry along with the right answers that you had added.
    They could not edit their response to correct it unless they have a FormsCentral account (free is fine) and you share the form with them, otherwise they can still view the link to see how they did (but would also see all of the other students answers).
    If this sounds interesting I can give more detail on how to set it up.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

  • Created a Form in Adobe Acrobat XI and save that form as "Standard" PDF

    I created a Form with Adobe Acrobat XI and now I want to add a button for save that form as "Standard" PDF with Java Script or other suitable way. Please help me.
    Thank You.

    Forms are entirely standard. What do you mean by "standard" in this case. Do you mean "not a form, so that the bits filled in are just permanent parts of the PDF like the other stuff"?

    How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?

    You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.
