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 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).

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.

Use a text editor or word processing program to create the letter. Then attach it to your email.
Why are you asking in the Windows Compatibility forum?

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,

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 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)

Best way to create a form that can be emailed and also secured down.

Hi,
I work in a manufacturing company that tests each raw material as it comes in the door. The results from the tests are currently handwritten on a template form that is printed first. The sheets are then sent to another department who types up the results and saves them individually as a Word document. There is a HUGE paper trail and increased margin for error. Not to mention the sheer time!
I am trying to streamline the process is a little by creating a PDF form in which the results can be entered and the form emailed to the other department. I know how to create the form and add a "submit" button which opens up the Outlook client. However, I want to make sure the form cannot be saved by the lab personnel, instead I want to give them the abilty to enter the data and email.Thisis an interim solution until a proper lab management system can be put into place.
What is the best practice around something like this? Any other suggestions or tips will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Can I somehow collect the data in another software such as Excel?
I would still need the PDF form completed and emailed over but if I can collect the data externally, that would be nice.

Create Livecycle form that can not be overwritten - (template)

I have forms saved in a central location (folder) on our company network. Is there a way to create a Livecycle form that has Reader extended features enabled and can act as a master template requiring the form to be saved to a different name when saved, protecting the template? (Like a Word .dot)

Scott (past-tense) has the easy answer. Of course, it does not stop someone from changing the Read Only setting, unless this is on a server and the security settings are used instead of the file's properties.
Another possibility COULD be to use the form's preSave event to chack for the file name and change it if the original template is open. the problem is that this probably requires a client side script file with a function to chang the file name. I don't think it can be in a script in the file. It may not even be possible at all. The preSave event occurs before the file is saved, but cannot be used to stop the file from being saved. The idea would be to make sure the template file name is not used when the file is saved. Not knowing the preSave event too well, though, I cannot say if changing the name would be applied before the save or not.
The file's top form presave would be something similar to:
if (event.target.documentFileName == "template.pdf")
//Change the file name to be saved.
See here for some guidance on setting the file name

Create a form that can either end in "Submit" or "Process Payment" depending on the selected fields

I have designed a Golf Tournament Registration form that includes a multiple choice field with 4 payment options
1) Pay Online
2) Mail a Check
3) Direct Deposit
4) Other
When Option 1 is selected, the form should redirect the registee to the PayPal payments page that has already loaded personal information from the earlier fields
When Option 2, 3, & 4 are selected, the form should redirect the registee to applicable information about how to proceed
HOWEVER: the submission button at the bottom of Options 2-4 still reads "Proceed to Payment" which is confusing for golf participants who have elected to mail a check.
*Is there a way to customize the submission button to elimate this possible confusion?

So I see that I am not the only one with this question and that part of my question has been answered here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399918#4399918#4399918
HOWEVER: is there no way to change the wording on the PayPal "Proceed to Checkout" button? I just want it to say "Submit"

How to create a form that can auto-populate all fields based on a specific selection?

We have created a template for each type of package used in our business. The template is the same but depending on the package selected, the fields would be populated differently. How can we create a template to load the fields based on the specific package selected? We use Adobe Acrobat Pro in creating the templates.

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (http://formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Acrobat/PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums:http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_windows
