    Hi Val,
    I see! Please see this thread: Is FormsCentral part of the Creative Cloud?
    Creative Cloud doesn't include FormsCentral, which is why you're being prompted to upgrade. (An Acrobat Pro subscription, on the other hand, does include FormsCentral.)

    how do I edit a saved document?

    Hi wallacem59620634,
    Are you referring to a file that you've saved to your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you'll need to download that file to your computer to edit it. Please follow these steps:
    Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
    Select the file that you want to edit, and then click Download. The file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer. From there, you can open it in an application that supports that file format and edit it.
    Please note, that if you're working with a PDF file, you'll need to use Acrobat to edit the content. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How do I edit a PDF form I created?

    I made it yesterday and saved it in the default format.
    Now when I open it, it is fillable, which is great but I'm not even done making all the boxes/form fields yet. It won't let me edit or add anything! When I click 'edit'it tells me "You cannot edit this file as a form"
    I fiddled a bit with security but it didn't do anything so I switched it back.
    HELP!!

  • How can I edit a billing form to allow re-calculation?

    I'm a newbie and have no idea how to fix this.  I'm using a billing form created by someone else.  The form calculates total amount due after you enter the times spent on various tasks and then enter the hourly compensation rate.  Once you enter the hourly rate, the calculation completes itself.  Trouble is, if you need to change or edit a time spent entry, the form will not recalculate, you can't delete the hourly rate entry to undue the calculation, and you have to reenter all the data onto a new copy of the form.   Can anyone please help? If needed, I can pm a copy of the form.  Thanks.

    Thanks George. I'll send it to you Monday.

  • How can I edit my submit form to my email or my form adobe

    I have not done a form in Dreamweaver, but I am curious how
    you got the code to send it to an e-mail address. Is this a built
    in Dreamweaver function?
    Webpage forms are meant to send data, not display data. If
    you want the e-mail formatted into a specific format you would need
    the script for the send form modified to also include formatting
    lines. Depending on your end purpose, this might not be worth the
    added time.
    I usually have the raw data e-mailed (if I need a copy in my
    inbox) and also store the information into a database. I then have
    a loccation on my website that I can log into to retrieve the form
    data. By retrieving it through the webpage, I can have any format I
    want to display it in. This process also makes it nice to filter
    the information that was sent, and if it includes e-mail addresses
    it is easy to create mailing lists from it.
    Need Help
    thanks

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like
    http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.

  • How do I edit a pdf form content?

    I have filled out a pdf form and want to edit what I've added to the form.  When i use "Content Editing - edit text & images" I'm only allowed to edit the form itself.  What format should the pdf be in to edit the content I've added to the form?

    If you've edited the values of form fields then you should be able to edit
    them again, just like you did before. Select the Hand tool for that. No
    need to any special editing tool...

    your javascript looks like its broken
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'value' of null line 425
    These two elements in your submission javascript don't exisit on the form Im guessing thats the problem.
    document.getElementById('HomeCountry').value = '';
    document.getElementById('WorkCountry').value = '';

  • How can I edit a saved file in adobe reader?

    I just want to delete a sentence and replace it with a new one.... Should I just start over in word? This is so confusing and frustrating!

    you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
    you should "load" your swf, not import it.
    if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

  • How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

    How do I edit text in a fill-in form?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX.  The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added.  Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates).  Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc.  I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it.  Please, tell me there is a better way!
    If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

    Fonts are Licensed asset's subject to single user use. They are not intended to be exchanged, redistributed, etc.
    As part of the PDF standard they included in a document so that the document can be viewed reliably without the font be installed on the viewing station.
    To edit you must have the font installed on your computer. The ability for second parties to use the font would violate font licenses.

  • How do I Edit an Existing PDF Form Without Losing Form Functionality

    I'm brand new to Acrobat but familiar and proficient with Flash, PhotoShop Premiere Pro, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc.
    The company I work for sells office supplies. We sell 57 distinct items.  We have Acrobat 9.  I am designing a PDF order form with fields that can be emailed to our clients as an attachment.  They fill out the form, it calculates the total, they send it back to us, we fill and ship the order.  Basic and straightforward.
    I can add form fields to my order/pricelist... not a problem.  The question is:
    Once I have brought a PDF into Acrobat and add 57+ fields and calculations, which is a time consuming process, how do I edit an item price at a later date, if someone in the company decides to make a change to our pricing?
    See..., If I save the original Microsoft Excel document as a PDF, Acrobat can't edit the text for some reason.  Something to do with "Renderable Text".  Now if I open the PDF saved from Microsoft Excel in Adobe Illustrator, I can use the text tool to make changes. That doesn't help me... just saying. Why can't I edit "Renderable Text" with the Acrobat Text Tool?  Someone in a forum stated that Acrobat is NOT a word processing program!  If that is an accurate statement, it would appear that Acrobat can at least work with base PDF documents to make certain types of modifications and add functionality.  Is that correct?
    Here's the problem.  I create a PDF with form functionality.  Everything works great.  The boss says, I want to change the price of the scissors.  I can't change the text in Acrobat because of the "Renderable Text" nonsense.  Does this mean that I have to re-apply all of the form fields and calculations to the new base PDF document every time there is a minor change?  I know there has to be a simple work around.  Should I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat?
    Is it possible to save the original existing form functionality as a layer or overlay to be applied to the new modified base PDF document?   Kind of like so many other Adobe products do including PhotoShop, Fireworks, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash etc., so that all of the form functionality can be applied in one big chunk?  Premiere Pro has the time-saving feature of "Paste Attributes".  It's a real time saver.
    It may be simpler to just direct me to a video that goes through the process of creating a PDF order form with fillable fields that multiplys quantity by unit price and totals one column.
    I already created a prototype of the form in PhotoShop which can be saved as a PDF.  The finished order document appearance has 95 horizontal 3px wide lines and 6 vertical 3px lines, kind of like what one might expect to see in an Excel spread sheet.  The form also contains some graphics and unconventional text areas that acrobat could overlay text fields and everything would be fine.
    With these great number of horizontal dividing lines, It doesn't seem practical or even possible to create the basic layout in Acrobat.  As I originally stated, I'm new to Acrobat and would like suggestions for a workflow that enables easy editing of an existing PDF document with form fields.  I want to avoid the monumental task of re-doing all of the fields and calculations.

    For what you are trying to do that is probably what you want -- Replace Pages. There are a few more issues that you need to be aware of since this is a business form. If customers are using Reader XI, it is not an issue.
    On the renderable text, can you see the text list when you look at the font tab in the document properties (ctrl-D)? If not, they you do not really have fonts to edit. This may be the type of fonts you used in the original or the way in which you did the conversion to PDF. You need to have fonts that are on your system and then be sure to embed them (otherwise others may not be able to read them because of different OS or such).
    As to e-mailing the form, that is fine (though there are sometimes problems with various clients and PDFs -- but usually on the sending end).
    For collecting the data you may want to try a different route. For users of Reader XI, they can save the form with the data. Prior versions could not do that unless you enabled the form for Reader. However, this latter process has a 500 form use limit -- A license issue. If the data is submitted, then it does not make a difference. The folks with Reader XI can still save the form with the data, others will have to print a copy for their records.
    The data can be imported to the form on your end and so you would have the exact same results as what was filled out. However, the submission process should be set up to submit to a web script for your receipt and not use mailto. The latter has problems that you have no control over due to proper operation with the mail client on the user machine. Typically the mail client must be the default and use MAPI. In any case, it is not reliable (not for business use). So submission to a web script is useful. The data in AcroForms would be of the type FDF (or possibly XFDF). If for some reason use created the form with Designer, that limit any editing in Acrobat since it is no longer a real PDF, but an XML container that Acrobat and Reader can display and interact with, but not change. Again, submission to a web script is still preferred.
    For dealing with a web script and some coding for various languages, you can check out the FDF Toolkit. It has been around a while, but should still handle the CGI needs of the submission. In addition, it has tools for adding the data to a database and other typical operations for data collection. You can save the FDF files and import them to the form and deal with the data there also.
    The use of Replace pages would do the job if all your form fields will still need to be in about the same location. Form fields are mark up and the pages are referred to as the document. Thus the replace pages will just original page and leave all the form fields. You will still need to go back and fix the value within the fields themselves, but that is a field edit.
