How do I get my pdf form to distribute?

I just purchased Acrobat XI Pro, revised a pdf form from previous version X (a trial version of the program) and when I try to Distribute I keep getting the same error message "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not include a .pdf extension, contains one or more invalid characters or the path preceding it refers to a protected system location"
I have unchecked 'hide file extensions' and I have saved the form to the desktop but no success. This is really frustrating. Anyone who can help would be much appreciated...

Nobody can help you if you don't provide any information!

  • How can I get a PDF form to email to me when it is hosted online?

    Ok, I'm not a coding expert, but I understand CSS and html alright.
    I am trying to create a PDF form for my website: www.pantherapressdesign.com.
    I have already created the forms (they are under the purchase section of the site) and when they are saved to the harddrive they work just fine. HOWEVER, when you fill them out and they open in the browser they will not submit to me (aka. I don't get them by email, even though the submit button correctly re-directs you to the thanks page).
    In the fuctions of the submit button I have it set to mailto:[email protected]
    When the form is saved on the hard drive (I open it from the desktop) and click submit it brings up a dialog box and asks me how I want to send it. I then choose desktop mail service, it opens it in an email and sends it.
    I want customers to be able to click the form from the website - fill it out right there in the browser - and then be able to submit it to me that way.
    I am assuming I must route this through the php or something, but am not sure how to do that. I have the php working for the contact from on the website, but I don't know php so I used pre-written code to do that. Is there some simple code I can drop into my php that will handle these forms? Help, please! Thanks

    I looked at the Stationary form, and there are a number of things you need to change. It is currently set up to submit as "HTML", as opposed to FDF, XFDF, or the entire PDF. This is fine if you're submitting the form to a web server, which can read the field data, place it in an email, and send it off. This is actually much preferred to relying on the user's machine being set up properly to send an email. Many are not and not receiving order that someone thought was submitted will be bad for your business. Consider removing the existing forms today and you can update when they are working.
    Your web hosting service likely has a PHP script that is designed to work with HTML forms and send an email with the form data included. This can work with a PDF form if the form is correctly set up. To do that, you will need to know how the script works and what it is expecting in the way of form data when it processes a submission. The PHP script should also be modified to send an appropriate response back to the user, which can be a simple redirect. The way you have it now with a link to the redirect page is wrong. It goes there whether the form is complete or not and whether the email actually got sent. This can be avoided by having the web server take care of this.
    If you don't have the expertise to modify the form to suit the PHP script and PHP script to suit the workflow, you'll need to find someone who does.

  • How do I get a PDF form to show its content using Mac 10.9.3, Safari 7.0.4 and Reader XI?

    I am using my Mac 10.9.3 with Adobe Reader XI in my Safari 7.0.4 Browser.  I do not have any trouble viewing PDF statements with my bank or other places OTHER than at Ford Credit.  Each time I log into Ford Credit to view the statements and attempt to download them, all I get on the screen is their blank form with headings and titles---no content.  When this happened once before over a year ago with my old Mac computer, I found my answer online by making Adobe Reader my default reader instead of Preview.  At that time it worked.  This time, its not working.  I contacted Ford Credit and they said their online Account Manager performs better using Internet Explorer.  The only answer they had for me was that advice or to contact Adobe.  So here I am looking for answers.  Any help provided is already appreciated.

    I do not know what to do or what to say or what to type to get someone familiar with the Adobe Reader to respond to my plea for help.  I am a 55 year old (aging fast) woman who is taking care of a father-in-law with dementia and a mother-in-law with Stage 4 Breast Cancer so I am already at my wits end when trying to get a program to work on my computer.
    Again, I ask.  How do I get the Adobe Reader to show content on a PDF statement at Ford Credit when all other PDF statements on other accounts work fine?  Ford Credit says it is a problem with Adobe Reader and that I am to come here for the answers.  I have 'googled' and have looked for similar posts on the Adobe Reader Community forums but I haven't found the answer yet.  
    Posting "[moved to the Adobe Reader (desktop) forum]", which I have yet to find, probably doesn't exist, or posting "Duplicate of https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491128" does not provide an answer when an answer could have been provided at the same time taken to post those notations.  I don't get it or understand it---not what I would have done if the roles were reversed.
    If you have any heart, or any form of courtesy, please respond with an actual, workable answer to what is probably a simple solution to my problem.  And, then maybe, the answer will help someone else in the future who may be struggling with the same situation and will find it in a 'google' search and won't waste any more of your valuable time.  Or theirs.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
    Any more clues?

  • How to tag a Print PDF form ?

    Hi,
    I need some pointers on how to tag a print PDF form. For one of the requirements, we developed a Print PDF form. The form contains Sub-forms which are made to look like a table. The relevant parameter(i.e., pdf_tagged ) is already set before starting the Job. The special case here is that the table gets the text for the header from the application data and shrinks or grows(upto a max supported column count) according to application data. For the same reason we cannot have a table, header row and body row marked in the accessibility tab in the form development transaction. Also, it is required that a header has to be visible.
    So currently in the form :
    1)We have just a set of sub-forms made to look like a table.
    2)We do not have any table,header or body row identified in the accesibility tab.
    3)Table also grows and shrinks horizontally.
    4)First row of the table is made to look like a Header row(bold text) and gets the data from the application data.
    5)This PDF is then displayed in a popup.
    6)The PDF form is currently not tagged (not accessible).
    Any pointers on how to resolve the issue would be highly appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Abhay

    Look in the Help section under Forms.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

    Generally the icons are a selection that is set in MS Explorer (on the PC). Depending on the version of windows, there are various ways of getting at the properties related to an icon, including what application would open the file.

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

    I have Adobe Creative Cloud.  How do I edit a PDF form I created at work and e-mailed to my home tablet?

    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 create a Pdf form for others?

    I have finally figured out how to make a pdf form, but my client wants to be able to attach the file to his e-mail and send it to his relations.
    How do I create a pdf form with his adress in stead of my own e-mailaccount?
    Tried to adjust my id in the preferences on my Mac, but that is not a safe way I guess...
    Can anybody help me out, I'm stuck...
    Bob

    Yes, I want to enable the client's relations to be able to click on a link
    in the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his e-mail address.
    Now a purple bar shows up when a 'relation' opens the pdf form.
    In this bar is a button included for sending the form, but they have to
    confirm the adding of their reaction to the 'reactions-file'. This refers to
    the location where I authenticallly saved the file (on my hard disk).
    I can adjust the reply e-mail adress by temporarily adjusting my id in
    Acrobat preferences, but I don't know the future location of the reaction
    file.
    It's a difficult question, but it's based on the question: Is it possible to
    make a pdf form for somebody else; so they can send en receive the reactions
    on their moment and their wanted location?

    hi bob
    are you saying the email address is on the pdf as plain text? or are you

  • How do I put a PDF form onto my website?

    New to Acrobat. Just bought 8 Pro for Mac version. How do I embed a PDF form onto my website?
    Also, if the process to do this is hard, would upgrading to version 9 make it any easier? Thanks.

    It depends on how the user's system is set up. Normally, the PDF will open in the browser, not just downloaded.
    It is possible to embed a PDF in an HTML page, for example: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag_to_di.html
    But note that not all users will have a PDF viewer installed, and not all PDF viewers are produced by Adobe, so this will not work for everyone. The above link cause my Firefox browser to crash, but it works with my Internet Explorer browser.

    How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    Hi Rave,
    InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type.  I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document.  The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago.  I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
