How do you type on a form in Adobe reader

Could you describe what you are trying to do?  Are you trying to fill in form fields?
When you open your PDF form in Reader, do you see light blue highlighting over form fields like this?

  • How do you get a trial version of Adobe Reader Xi to test pdf conversion

    Reader itself is free. The PDF Pack service that you can use through Reader does not have a trial. The only thing they have that converts pdf files and has a trial is Acrobat Pro.

  • How do you fill in a pdf in Adobe Reader 9?

    I have Adobe Reader 9 on my laptop. I've received several PDF forms which I need to fill in and then email back to the sender. Can this be done with Adobe Reader 9 or do I have to buy an additional program? I'm overseas and for a variety of reasons I can't go onto the Adobe site and spend ages editing/filling in the document online. Any help/advice much appreciated.

    In order for you to fill in a form using Reader, the creator of the form would have to add fillable fields. It sounds like the forms you get don't have those so your only choice is to print them, fill them out by hand then mail them or purchase Adobe Acrobat and add those form fields yourself.

  • How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

    Using Windows 8.1.  Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11.  Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs.  Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing.  Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option.  How do I cut and paste the text?

    Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
    into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
    piece of text.  Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
    Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
    down together).  Still no Copy option anywhere.
    Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
    Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
    that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it.  Should I
    look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
    As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
    extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
    Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above.  Again,
    no option to copy with any of them.
    Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
    copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
    am writing.  I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
    copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
    Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader.  At this point, I am
    wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
    whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
    (Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
    idea of which reader might have been installed there.  That version did,
    however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
    ideas about what to do now.

  • How do you fix Error 1324 when downloading Adobe Reader?

    "Error 1324. The path My Pictures or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again." appears after 96% of download occurs when downloading Adobe Reader onto my home computer Windows XP Home Ed. v2 sp3 64 processor. Tried downloading again and same thing happens - used Windows Internet Explorer as browser. Any ideas on what to do next?  Will try downloading using Google Chrome to see if that works. First time using the forums - think  I need to move it to Adobe Reader Forum
    Message was edited by: denm

    Thanks Pat W. I stand corrected. The error report occured during installation. My Pictures and the Adobe folders reside in My Documents - the path(?) C:Documents and Settings/Denise/My Documents/My Pictures. The Adobe folder also resides in the My Documents folder but not within the My Pictures folder. Just wondering where the Adobe folder should be.   If I have an external drive on and a backup copy of Adobe is in it, would that be what you mean by a folder in "My Documents" is pointing to somewhere other than the C: drive? I have turned off my external drive and retried the download. Not successful. Will try your last tip re: the support site from microsoft. Thanks for any other clarification you can provide.

  • How do you type in Adobe forms

    How do you type in Adobe forms without converting them.
    Several times I was on an Adobe page where one could click on a tab to do just that and now I cannot remember how I got there.
    Please help if you can.

    David,
    Thank you so very much for your timely reply.
    I have Adobe Acrobat installed on all six of my offices computers and found it very simple to do as you instructed.
    Thank you once again.

  • How do you fill in a form that was saved as a template? When I try, the "template" shifts, which is not how a template should work!

    How do you fill in a form that was saved as a template? When I try, the "template" shifts, which is not how a template should work!
    Templates, as I understand them, are fixed; you can "fill them in" without shifting them. Yet, I've saved doc as a template AND it shifts. Argh!

    Thanks for your response.
    I've managed to fix it but I wouldn't recommend the following as I'm sure its unsupported and I'll probably have problems down the line
    On the host
    * mv /etc/zones /etc/zones.bak
    * reboot single user
    * apply kernel patch (the one that ultimately I had to get on and which was giving pre-req dependency errors when running zones)
    * create a new zone now that host system is all up to date
    * Copy the operating system directories of the new zone (the one that's all patched) over the troublesome zone (the one that can't take the patch). Take backups first
    * cd /zones/new-zone/root
    * find sbin -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * find usr -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * find lib -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * cd /zones/new-zone/root/var
    * find sadm -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root/sadm (this copies patches and pkgs directories and I'm sure a lot of other stuff that I didn't want)
    * mv /etc/zones.bak /etc/zones
    * reboot host
    * boot the old zone up. It should now have up to date patches
    I'm sure there are real no-no's in taking this approach but it seems to have worked for me. I'll update if I find there are some horrors down the line

  • How do you type Chinese on a Mac?

    How do you type the Characters on a Mac. I have seen different ways to do it but they were all for Microsoft computers. If there are writing pads or a software that changes pinyin into characters please tell me. Thanks.

    You go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for the chinese input methods you want to use, plus the box for "show input menu in finder." Then you select the IM in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and type away. Hitting the space bar should give you a selection of hanzi if necessary.

  • How do you type a letter using the Mac OS

    How do you type a letter using Apple, this is my first Apple and I have only used the Windows Operating System before.

    If it has a standard system installation that comes pre-installed with Macs, there should be an application called Pages installed.  That is Apple's word processor. 
    You can launch it from the Dock, if its shortcut is there.  The icon looks like an inkwell with a pen. (If you have related follow-up questions, such as setting up a printer, please post back...)
    These Apple references may be helpful
