How do I create a form that 2 departments can edit

I am trying to create a document for Manager A to partially fill out, save and send to Manager B to completed and send off to Manager C. Can this be done with Adobe forms? I have the form created and have clicked save and entered the email address I wanted to send it to. But once we opened the form again it redirected us back to the dashboard and all the information was gone on the form.
Can someone please help me, I would be grateful.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi;
A workflow for form filling where multiple users fill out the form is not something we support - however it can be accomplished using our "Save Web Form" feature, which is what it sounds like you are trying to do. See this tutorial on using that feature: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4135
When you say "But once we opened the form again..." it sounds like you are opening the URL to the form from when you were signed in creating the form, and not clicking on the link in the Email that you are sent with the saved form to complete... There would not be any data in the form after a user does a "Save Web Form", no data is sent to FormsCentral until a user clicks "Submit". Clicking on the link in the saved form email should retrieve the partially filled form for the next user in the workflow to continue and then either save again and email to the next in the work flow, or submit.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I create a form that is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

how do I create a form That is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

To create forms on your computer you need to purchase Acrobat Standard.
Better yet, Acrobat Pro.
To provide Extended form Rights you need to purchase Acrobat Professional.
Or Standard, unless you need to enable digital signatures in Reader.

How do you create a form that has user permissions per form field for different user?

I need to create a form that is used by multi people but each user needs to fill out different fields within the form. I need the first user to make selections from a list and save it to send to another (the selection fields then need to be locked). Then the other user checks one of the selections made by the first user and saves the document to send back to the first user. Not sure if this is possible. I would like the first form field selections not to even show as a highlighted field to the other user (like just be more like a text field). I want the document to be able to be used more than once. The list selections will change and need to be sent to the other user at least once a month or more. Has anyone done this?

There's no built-in way to do that, but it's probably doable using a custom-made script to hide and/or lock the fields.

How do I create a form that can be edited, then mailed, then edited again?

I am trying to create a form that would be emailed to one person, they would complete part of it, email it on to a second user who would then complete another part based on the input from the first, and then forward it onto a third for their input.
the issue I have is that once the second person enters their information, they can not save their additions and continue the process.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interactive forms cannot be saved locally using Reader. To do local save you either have to have Acrobat on each desktop or have the form Reader-extended to enable local save in Reader. A form is Reader-enabled using the LiveCycle Reader Extensions server component.

How do I create a form that enables the user to save the form filled in?

When I create the form, save it and open it later, I get the message that the form can only be saved empty - without whatever the user filled into the text fields. Why is this and how can I enable the form to be saved including the content of the fields?

It should only say that when used with Reader versions prior to version 11. If you have Acrobat, you can Reader-enable the form, allowing it to be saved in versions prior to 11, and 11 as well. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

How do I create a form that can be filled out, saved with data, and returned?

We don't want to use EchoSign or any kind of service or account. We just want to send a form to clients via email and have them returned to us with their data. Simple. Intuitive. Requires virtually no explanation or bother. Why can't I find any way to do this in Acrobat any more? Is it hidden, or completely disabled? (Acrobat Pro 10.1.7)

In Acrobat you can Reader-enable the file. For Acrobat 11, the menu item to do this is: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
Do this as the last step before you distribute the form. Note that this isn't needed for Reader 11 since it is capable of saving a non-enabled PDF form that was created with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Designer).

How do I create a form that will give a report that summarises before and after data on the same graph?

I have a number questions that I want to know the average of all the before and after data to compare them, how do I set this up in a form in FormsCentral? Here is an example of what I want to do - the green bar is "before" and blue is "after"

This isn't something that you can set up in FormsCentral. It's possible to something similar with a form you create in Acrobat and use with FormsCentral, but there is no sort of built-in graphing control. The bar graph could be implemented with some JavaScript that controls annotations or fields (buttons) and perhaps some text fields.

How does one create a form that redirects based on the input of the form?

What I am trying to do is have a form with one input. Lets call it "ID".
There are multiple pages that the form can direct to depending on the ID the user inputs.
All of the page extentions end with the ID. For example www.page.com/0001.html.
So I want the user to put in "0001" then submit. The user will then be directed to page www.page.com/0001 if they put in an invalid ID user will be directed to "ID not found" page.
Any help would be much apreciated!! Thanks.

on form.php put a form like this:
<form method="POST" action="redirect.php">
<input type="text" name="id" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="redirect" />
</form>
on redirect.php put this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['id'])) {
     header ('Location: http://yoursite.com/'.$_POST['id'].'html');
     exit;
}else{
     header ('Location: http://yoursite.com/form.php');
     exit;
?>
best,

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.

Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

Create fillable forms that automatically fill out a letter

Hi, so I'm new to acrobat (and adobe in general) and I wnated to know if anyone had a way of doing this. So what I want to do is to create a form that takes people's information. It will take things like Names, Phone numbers, emails, etc. Then, it will ask them to choose what kind of form they want to create. So, it could be a letter, or a memo, whatever. Based on their choice, I then want to make another form, with all of their information filled in for them, appear. I've made a form for the first part, but I would like to know if anyone could explain how to do the second part, where it creates the new page for me.

If the end user is using Adobe Reader to fill this out then no, it isn't possible.
I can say whether it would be possible if all parties are using Adobe Acrobat but I doubt that it is.
You chould probably look in to creating a web application that can generate a PDF.

How do i create a form setup in landscape?

How do I create a form set in landscape?

OK - let me ask you first, how are you delivering your form to others to fill out, are you using the URL so that they fill out the Web/HTML form? Or are you downloading a PDF of the form that you email to people to fill out?
I think you are likely using the URL (Web Form on the Distribute tab), in which case you want to set the "Form Width" to something wider than 700, that setting controls the width of the form in a web browser. That controls the width so you can get more of a landscape appearance, you would also add "Page Breaks" where you would want the pages to end so they look the way you want them to.
If you are using PDF let me know and I will share additional info. The "PDF paper size/orientation" settings in form setup are for the PDF only and you won't see those changes in a web form.
I hope that was clearer but am happy to try again;-)
Thanks,
Josh
