How do I send out a pdf so that others can fill it out and return it via e-mail?

I have been trying to do this for a while and am wondering if I can or if I need a different program to be able to do it (if thats the case please let me knkow which one). I tried making a distribution list and sending it to myself and when I tried to open the link it took me to a black page that said Acrobat.com on it and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong? I even downloaded the latest reader and it still didn't work.

I assume you have figured out how to create a form. You will need to add a submit button. It is best to have the data submitted that you can easily import to the form if needed, or process separately. In Designer, you would select XML submission to a mailto:<address> format. In Acrobat, you would select FDF, XFDF, or XML to a mailto:<address> format. Be aware that email submission is risky in that you need the client machine to be running MAPI, something you have no control over.

    Open the document, click Share in the Menu Bar > Send a Copy > Email > PDF is the safest but not easily edited on PC. You can choose Word if you know the person you are sending to has Microsoft Word.

    I believe you need a full version of Adobe Reader in order to fill out online PDFs. I don't think the built-in PDF viewer capabilities of Preview.app on the Mac allow you to fill out online PDFs. You can download a free copy of Adobe Reader from their website http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

  • 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?

  • How do I completely crop a PDF so that the cropped data is removed and the file size is reduced?

    How do I completely crop a PDF so that the cropped data is removed and the total file size is reduced?
    When I use the "Crop" function, the cropped data still remains in the file and there is no reduction in file size. I need a way to truly crop a PDF using Acrobat software.

    When you export, try to get the full file path or else you will have to do a lot of manual searching.
    If you downloaded the picture from Messages, the picture is stored in your User Library/Messages. to make your User Library visible, hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. 
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

    Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

    It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

  • HELP!  How do I set the pdf so the user can fill it in and "save as" but protect original pdf?

    I created the pdf form and extended user rights which allows the end user to fill the form in.  However, if they press "Save" instead of "Save As" they overwrite the original pdf.  How can I protect the pdf so they cannot overwrite it but they can use the "Save As" option after filling in the form?

    But guys, aren't there PDF's on the internet that are write-protected so that even if you open it and interact with it (view it) it does not allow you to save changes?  I have seen this before -- a dialog box comes up saying that editing of the PDF file is not possible.
    I have also seen files where you can "Save a Copy As..."

  • How I save text to a PDF so that I can email the changes?

    I just downloaded adobe acrobat reader for my iPhone 4S. Every time I add text to a PDF and then email it, the recipients never receive the annotated file. They only receive a blank PDF. I don't see any feature to save changes. Please help.

    The changes are saved automatically. Unfortunately, some PDF viewers don't support viewing annotations. One such viewer is the PDF viewer built into iOS and included in the iOS mail app, Safari and other apps like dropbox. Please ensure that your recipients are viewing the PDF in a viewer that supports annotation viewing like the Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Store, MacOSX or Windows. Some of our competitor's apps support annotation viewing as well, but we're obviously biased towards our own =).

  • Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

    I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not.  She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also.  Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages.  I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that.  Can someone explain that to me?
    Thanks!

    I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
    If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
    In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

  • How do I put a fillable form on our website so people can fill it out and send back to me

    How do I put a fillable form on our website so people can fill it out and get it back to me.

    Hi;
    This is a bit of a broad question, let me try to understand your needs a little better.
    Are you looking to use FormsCentral to either create your form or create the form and collect and manage the responses?  Are you looking for a web/HTML form or a PDF?
    FormsCentral allows you to create web/html forms that when they are submitted the data is sent to FormsCentral and in a Paid level subscription you can configure Email Notifications to email the results to you, they are also always available in FormsCentral to view and analyze.  For the web/HTML form you can simply add a link to the form on your website, or the web/HTML form can also be "Embedded" into your web site (there is Embed code on the Distribute tab).
    FormsCentral can also create a PDF form, the PDF can either send the responses to FormsCentral like the web form with the same options (Notifications etc), and can also be a PDF form without a "Submit" button where you can then add a Submit button of your own that would email the responses to you.  This requires having Adobe Acrobat to edit the form and add your own Submit button.
    If you do use PDF see this FAQ on PDF in the web - we do not recommend "embedding" the PDF into your web page, do not have the PDF open in the browser, the users should download the PDF and fill it out using the Free Adobe Reader: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How do I send a writable PDF to a non adobe user?

    We have adobe acrobat X pro in the office and are needing to send applications to clients so they can fill it out on their computers at home and send back. Is there a way using this program?

    Adobe Reader users can only submit data formats such as FDF, XDP, XML, XFDF. PDF forms with extended usage rights enabled, can submit whole PDF format. I recommend setting the submit button to a URL pointing to a server-side script such as PHP or ASP.net, which sends the submission without client-side email software. Anyone with Adobe Reader can submit to a server-side script and send the form. Another way is to create a normal button, and set the URL to a mailto: email address, but this requires client-side email software or web mail to be setup correctly or it fails.

  • How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

    In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
    I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
    Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
    When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
    My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email.  As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
    All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business.  Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly. 
    Thank you in advance,
    ~Kara
