How do I save IRS pdf forms so that I can fill in and save the data

when I downlaod a US government IRS form I am unable to fill in the form, save the data and print, I have tried saving as a pdf from the print menu and using the tools menu none of which works

I know there is an app called PDFPen that is supposed to fill in PDF forms. PDFPen is available in the App Store, but it is not free.
I have no financial interest in PDFPen. I also don't know if there is some cheaper way to fill in the forms.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Need to create form that user can fill out and SAVE in Reader

Hi,
My form, which of course works fine in Adobe Acrobat 4 CS4, is unsaveable when typed into with Acrobat Reader. It says at the top:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
*I know it's possible* to make it writable/saveable for Readers users, because I have here a form that someone else created, and in Reader the message says, "Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form."
What setting do I need to change in Acrobat to make it saveable in Reader? Document attached.
Thank you in advance!!!!

Phillip,
Thank you for the clarification.
I cannot seem to find the post that mentioned that this could not be done; perhaps it was for an older version of Acrobat. If I find it, I'll send you the URL.
This is a form that will reside on a web site for download, and the forms are used by individuals to track exercise as part of a community nonprofit wellness program. I doubt 500 folks will use it. We can monitor downloads.
If we need to go above 500 downloads, how would we go about purchasing a license for additional use? And, is there a chance that Adobe will increase this limit for a purpose that is non-commercial and non-profit?
Thanks.
I don't know the answers to the question about license for additional use, nor would Adobe increase the limit. I among other that were associated with Non-profits (I was treasury for an Electronics Association for 17 years) were the reason for adobe doing this to begin with. Before Acrobat 8, you had to use the other methods mentioned (The LiveCycle Server).

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

How do I duplicate an image on the main screen so that I can edit it and compare the result with the original?

In Elements 12 How do I duplicate an image on the main screen (as well as the photo bin) so that i can compare any editing with the original?

In full Editor, go to Edit>Preferences>General and check "Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode"
Open the image so that you see it in the project bin
Right click the image thumbnail in the project bin, and duplicate. It will come in as xxxcopy
On the Arrange icon at the top, select 2-up. You should see the original and the duplicate in the work area

PDF form that you can type in and save

I am working to create forms that my student athletes will need to type into and save so that they can upload them to our online pre-participation site. Is there any special way I need to save my Adobe PDFs? I saved them normally and one student had no problem with this task....I had another try this and it would not allow them to save the file. So after reading online I saved it as a Reader extended, enable more tools and then they could type and save the document. Is this the way to go? I need them to type in the form, but not mess with the overall outline - just type in the blanks. Thanks

If they're using the latest version of Reader (XI), then you don't need to do anything else. Earlier versions require that you apply the Reader Extended Rights in Acrobat for the file to be savable in Reader. This also has legal implications as to the number of replies you may collect (500).

I have recently inherited a G4 powerbook it has an old administrator how can i become the adminstrator so i can add drop and fix the date time function?

how can I change the administrator, i have recently inherited a g4 powerbook but can't make any changes, i have no discs nor do i have the original admin's password?

Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

How do I see what computes they list that I hav eitunes on and remove the old computers?

How do I remove old computers from the list they have my ipod linked to.

You can't. Have you reached the limit of 5 authorized computers? If so, the authorizations aren't referring to what computers an iPod has been linked to, but instead refers to computers that have been authorized to play and sync your iTunes purchased content.
See here for more information about authorization and deauthorization and how to use the deauthorize all option if you have already reached the limit of 5.

How do you create a smart album so that you can look at and edit slide show fashion instead of one at a time?

Is the Apple program always this convoluted every time something new is rolled out to roll over someone?

Sorry but I have no idea what you're asking. What s "look and edit slide show fashion"? Where does a Smart Album fit into that? You know you can move from shot to shot using the arrow keys, right?

How can we iterate and retrieve the data from the slices ?
