How to correct fields in a fillable form?

I have created a form that has approximately 70 check boxes.  The fillable form is showing them as text boxes.  Is there an easy way to convert them to check boxes without having to create new fields for each entry?

Ok! I think I've got the hang of how to edit and distribute the form. I see that Adobe records user responses, is there some way to block this feature?
For my purposes, I really just need to send the fillable form as an email attachment to users, have the users enter and save their responses into the form, and then have them send the modified form back to me as an email attachment.

  • How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

    I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient.  How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information.  I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank.  What can I do?  Thank you for your help.

    Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

  • Issue while changing fields in a fillable form PDF (Acrobat 10.1.4 Pro)

    Good Afternoon!
    This is my first time posting here, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
    I am an IT technician trying to support a user who is trying to change a PDF into a fillable form using Acrobat 10.1.4.  She is trying to use the wizard as shown in the image below:
    When she uses this function, Acrobat goes through and automatically detects all possible fields and creates them for her.  Below is an image of the result:
    What she is trying to do is change some of the field types - specifically, she wants to change the box next to "Adult/non-college request" to a check box.  She right clicks on this field to change it, and when she does, Acrobat simply closes.  No error comes up, and she is not given the option to save the document - when she opens it again, it is an ordinary PDF.  In addition, if she creates the form, and then only tries to save the form (without trying to change the fields), Acrobat again simply closes itself.  However, she is able to manually create fillable fields if she does not use the wizard at all, and the document functions normally.
    Any help with this issue would be most appreciated.

    Save early and often.
    I would save the result right after the wizard has made its errors.
    One needs to delete the form field and then manually add the correct type of field. If you want that check box and the next to be mutually exclusive, one gives them the same name and sets the export value for each check box to a unique value.
    I edit forms by opening the "Tools => Forms => Edit fields".

  • HELP! How to unembed fonts in a fillable form.

    I am using the trial version of the Adobe Designer 7.0 on a Dell computer and thinking of purchasing the product. My problem is that I somehow have embedded fonts in the form. I am creating a fillable form to be filled out online but the file size is 511 kb. I have an original form with no fields that is only 11kb. I need to have this form I created in Designer to be MUCH smaller. How can I unembed the fonts? I have SAVED AS - didn't help. Went to Advanced (in Acrobat), PDF Optimizer, Audit Space Usage-didn't work. And File, reduce file size - at that point is where an error message comes up saying "This PDF contains Adobe XML form. Such PDFs cannot be optimized." Help! My trial version will be running out soon.

    meg7,
    In the Save dialog, there should be an option at the bottom that allows you to un-embed fonts. An additional pointer on fonts:
    - Use the following fonts if you can (they are available in Acrobat and Reader, and do not need to be embeded:)
    * TimesRoman, TimesBold, TimesItalic, TimesBoldItalic
    * Helvetica, HelveticaBold, HelveticaOblique, HelveticaBoldOblique
    * Courier, CourierBold, CourierOblique, CourierBoldOblique
    * Symbol, ZapfDingbats
    Cheers

  • Image field error on fillable form

    Hi folks, how are you doing?
    I'm facing a weird problem. My form is getting crazy when I pass the parameter FILLABLE = 'X' on SFP_DOCPARAMS table.
    At the beginning, I had a watermark on the master page that was working well. But I needed to put a signature field and this field requires an interactive form, right?
    So, when I passed the value "X" to the FILLABLE parameter, the image field(watermak) overlapped the content of my text fields and there's nothing that I'm doing that do it work again.
    PS: I just need that the signature field being open to the user sign it. The other fields must be closed.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    In the ADDT Control Panel, swtich Debugging Mode to Development , this show you more information about the error.
    Check this:
    Give the upload destinantion folder permission 777, sub folders created for thmb too (on the host server). If works ok in localhost, must be this reason.
    Check the value of max file size you put in the upload wizard.
    Check extensions you allow (jpg, gif, png, jpeg, etc).
    Check the table field where you store the image name is ok ( for example, not numeric type).
    Check if the table where you store the image name and data exist in the host.
    Paste error here to see more detalis ( error in development mode debugging).

  • How do i lock my pdf fillable form file

    Thank you in advance for any help.
    I have two questions:
    1)  How do I save my fill-able form pdf file as a NON fill-able form so that the saved version cannot be changed?  I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the MAC
    2)  How do I add a page to my pdf file.  When I try to use thumbnails the fill-able pdf file will not accept a page that I scanned as a pdf file?  Could it be that the fill-able pdf file won't accept a non-fill-able page?  I want to scan the signature page back into the document after I have signed it.
    I have struggled with these two issues for days!
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Those types of forms are static XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer. They generally can't be edited in Acrobat even if you remove the usage rights. There is a bug in Acrobat 9 that you can take advantage of if you have access to it that will allow you to convert it to an AcroForm that you can then add pages to and convert to a non-fillable PDF.

  • How to save entries in a fillable form

    I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (I uploaded a form created in Word 2010, and modified it slightly using Adobe X), but users I send the form to are unable to save their entries.How do I allow users to save the information they have entered in the fillable form?
    Do recipients of the form have to have a specific version of Adobe in order to save their entries in the fillable form I created using Acrobat X Pro?

  • How can I export multiple PDF fillable forms into a spreadsheet (Excel) using VBA?

    Hi guys,
    I never used VBA with with Adobe Acrobat. I would like a tip to start doing that. What I would like to do know is:
    1 - I have multiple PDF Forms that are filled.
    2 - I want all the data from those forms to be exported to Excel via VBA code.
    3 - Adobe Acrobat already have an option to do that manually (Forms > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet) and it works perfectly.
    4 - I would like to access that feature using VBA, then generate a spreadsheet.
    Any tips? How can I start?
    Thanks!

  • How to autopopulate fields in a portal form based on database procedure?

    Dear gurus, I am a newbie to the portal world and i have a rather unique problem. I have searched online but still cant find a solution to my problem. I have a portal form (AS version 10.1.4) based on a db procedure that accepts only one parameter. The form has about 12 fields, two of which are combo boxes. Because of the relationship b/n combo box 1 and combo box 2 and the rest of the form fields, the user has to start out by selecting a value in combo box 1. This auto populates combo box 2 (based on the previous selection). However, when the user selects a value from the populated combo box 2, this is supposed to trigger an action to query the database and retrieve values for the remainder of the form fields and populate them accordingly.
    I tried to use p_session.get and set values but discovered that one cannot do this with form fields that are based on a procedure. I could write javascript to call a database procedure but i am not sure how to pass the return values from the database back to the javascript routine and then populate the remaining fields accordingly.
    HELP ME PLEASE!!!
    Thanks

    Hi Venkat, create a section (section control) for each set of columns you want to hide/reveal. Put your columns in that section. Then set a rule on the dropdown so that if dropdown = "this" then show "this" section.

  • How can I compress a large fillable form with extended rights?

    Hello:
    I have about 15 fillable PDF s that I created in LiveCycle ES2. One form is 37,616 kb and takes forever to download from the web. I attempted to zip the file, but when I tested it, text could no longer be saved after it was unzipped (the forms have extended rights as users need to be able to enter in a save text they enter into it). Does anyone have any suggestions re: how I might be able to compress my PDF file, while still being able to maintain the ability to enable savable text (extended rights)?

    Just tried it here and it worked fine ....are you sure you zipped the Reader Extended version of the form?

  • How to Pick fields for calculations in forms?

    I have all the fields in place, with all apparent formatting required for each. Using Properties > Calculate > Pick, Adobe will show me the list of all of my fields, but will not let me populate them in the Pick field individually. I can Select All and Deselect All, but choosing individual fields is totally hit or miss (~95% miss), with no apparent reason. I've been able to select fields that are not formulated as numbers, but cannot select those that are. I was able to select QtyRow9 and UnitPriceRow10 for TotalPriceRow1, but nothing else. I can even change the quantity and unit price in Preview and it calculates correctly. However, there are over 50 more calculations in this form.
    My manager was able to open my file and Pick fields on the Calculate tab. After he saved the file and sent it back to me, I still cannot Pick as I would like to. I have Adobe 10.1.1 Standard, while he has Adobe 9.1.2 Standard (he was able to open my file with no problem). We both used Tools > Forms > Edit, although his buttons are located differently than mine. Any ideas what I might be missing?

    Pravender --> Yes fields are available when testing datasource in RSA3, but replication does not bring anything new (no selection possible on those fields)

    I can see in the 4th tab (name is "update") in infopackage screen (BW), a frame named "time-dependant data", and here i have a possibility to filter according dependance period, but only 3 possibility :

    - routine time interval
    - variable for interval
    but none of the three allows me to do what I want ...
