How to create a fillable form that can be saved in Acrobat Reader

I'm new with fillable forms. I looked at it several months ago and I was sure I saw something about making the filled forms saveable in Reader but now I can't seem to find it. Anybody know?

Thanks! Not sure exactly how to extend reader rights, but I imagine I'll figure it out.

Create a fillable form that can be saved by others

Hi, I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, I'm on a PC
I know that you go to File>Save As...>Reader extended pdf>
After that I get "Enable Adding Text in Documents (that are not fillable form)...
I then get a form that is using a "typewriter" tool." That's not what I want. I want a fillable form that can be saved by the person filling out the form and not have to use the typewriter tool. I don't like the way that looks or works. I hope there is someone that can help. I used to be able to do this and don't understand what has changed.
Thanks!

Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Yes, it will allow pre-11 Reader users to save.

Can you create a fillable form that can be saved by the client?

I created a very lengthy business planing guide in this program and sent it out for testing - only to find out that if the user only has basic adobe (not any pro programs) they can't save the document - they have to complete it and print it or else loose all their work. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed that will allow the document to be saved? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If using Acrobat, it depends on which version you're using:
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

Create a fillable form that can extend to multiple pages

We have created a form to type statements. The statement can be as short as 1 page long or could be as long as 20. At the end of the statement, the person signs his/her name. Can you create a field that can adjust to multiple pages long?

Not a single field, but you can create one or more pages on the fly that have separate fields using page templates. This means that the field on page 1 won't automatically flow to the one on page 2 when it's full, but that may be OK.

Saving a form that can be saved in Adobe Reader after filled out.

I have created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and would like it to be filled out and than saved as is to the hard drive of the person receiving it. I have looked at how to do this and it says go to File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features. I opened up my document in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and went to File > Save As but it doesn't give me the option for Reader Extended PDF or anything at all. It just has the Save As button which will open up the Save As Dialogue box. What do I need to do to be able to save this how I would like this?

In Acrobat 9 it's: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
They change it every time.

I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

Have a look at the menu file/process multiple files. You can choose to add your signature (or the caption) to the image and export the new files.
If that solution is not flexible enough, consider using the very affordable (12$) Elements+ add-on which offers a 'meta stamp' script :

Otherwise, have a look at other free and good solutions like Faststone Photoresizer, Xnview...

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it

Hello Graphicsguy123,
You would need to first create the form ( or Widget in EchoSign) first to generate a url which you can paste it in the email being sent to customers. You would need to make sure you have a Document Cloud Enterprise Premium account in order to create a Widget. If you don't have the account, you can use the trial version to test it.

Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again.
Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
Thanks in advance

How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

I hope someone can please help me. I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms?
I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive.
I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields. How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers. I hope this time someone can please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files. I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files. To you mean with java script?
I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need. I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
Thank you again.

How to create a PDF form which can be filled out and saved with change by end user

After the uproar from Users about Standard being little more than Apple's Print to PDF; there hasn't been a Standard version for Mac since version 6. So many people were use the features in Acrobat 5 to create Forms that could be filled out by Reader. when the bought 6 Standard they were ready to hang the CEO of Adobe in effigy. When 7 came out is was Pro only.
I'm confused.
The current version of Acrobat comes in Standard, Pro, and Extended Pro versions. Only the Pro version is on the Mac. But that doesn't mean that the Mac community wouldn't have wanted the Standard version of Acrobat.
The Standard version is hardly a mimic of Apple's Save to PDF. The most important features of Standard is to enable Rights in Reader as well as add comments, form fields. etc.
The only thing that Standard does do are the pre-press and production features of Pro.
However, given the difference in price ($450 vs. $300) there is ample reason for business on the Mac OS to buy Standard--if they could buy it.
I didn't say PC users.
I should have said Mac users. Because the Print system and sytem by which Mac users view anything is based on the PDF engine. The Mac sytem can do anything Standard Standrd could do. although in order to placate Adobe the pdf engine used is a version or two behind. If the Mac OS could do everything Acrobat could do there would be no reason for Adobe to provide Acrobat Or Reader for Mac.
And you basing your assumption of what Standard can do a PC. Standard on Mac is basically Mac's Print to PDF wrapped in an Adobe Package. It shad no ability to confer rights to reader (that didn't come to Acrobat Mac until Version 8) and was unable to to create forms. The current version of Acrobat PC comes as Standard, Pro, And extended. There never has and never will be an extended pro version for Mac (that adds the ability to create XML based forms) They don't have the interest. To adobe is little more than a Play toy. Because Windows has so much clout They can dictate what they want. Apple not so much. One advantage Mac does have is that Forms creator is built in. on PC its an adon (it free but an addon or was).
Now back in OS 9 days and Acrobat 5.x Acrobat for Mac and PC were equal. except to have the print press features Mac users had to pay an addition $200.00. (It exactly as you described in your last sentence - except Acrobat 5.x without the printpress and The Acrobat 5 without Print press was $299.00 and $499.00 with Print press.) I know I've used Acrobat since version 3.

Exporting pdf in Indesign that allows commenting & saving in Acrobat Reader

I have a feeling there isn't a way to do this but I thought I would ask in case there is. I was wondering if you can export a pdf in Indesign CS4 that someone who is using Acrobat Reader X can comment and then save. I know you can open the pdf in Acrobat Pro and select Advance>extend features in Acrobat Reader and that will work but I was wondering if there was a way to skip this step.
Thanks!

How do I create a PDF form for submission that can be used by Acrobat Reader only users?

I am attempting to create a PDF document in Acrobat Pro with fields that can be submitted (via email) by users using only Acrobat Reader.
I have tried changing the properties of the 'Submit' button, although I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone please help?
C.

I created a form using Adobe LiveCycle and added the submit via e-mail button. One change which I made was in the XML script I changed submission type to pdf, so that thepdf form itself would be e-mailed. This works fine if I use Adobe Pro 8, but when I tried the same using only Adobe Reader 7.0, it would not let me e-mail the form along with a message "This operation is not permitted".
Any comments?
Thanks

How to create online fillable form using acobrat 7.0 ?

I want to create an online fillable form but seems like a fill able PDF form is good to enter the information when end user wants to print the document with the filled information. They won't be able to save the filled information unless they have adobe acrobat and every user don't have acrobat. Majority of users will have adobe reader only which does not have the feature of saving the document with the filled information.
How can I receive the information from this fill able PDF form ?
I have seen on many website that, they people can fill out the form online and submit the information.
I know a way too add submit button using acrobat 7 designer but that is very complicated because the user will have to send xml data and i will have to import the xml data into the original pdf form which is very time consuming and not a good idea when i have to deal will 1000 forms every week.
when a personal is filling a fillable form (which i will upload on my website), that pdf form can't be send directly to me with data in it ?
this seems to be very complicated.

For AA7, you can set the file to submit the data, not the entire form. You would have the FDF data file submitted to you. The e-mail feature is not very reliable, but that was not your question. When you receive the FDF file, you may be able to click it and have it open in the form (if you did not move the form and such -- it has some folder information in the FDF). Otherwise, you can open the form and use the form tools to import the data -- forgot where it is in AA7. The end result of the import will be the same display as the submitter had in the form. You can then save the form to a different name. There may be some data handling within Acrobat 7, I don't remember. If not, you might want to get the FDF Toolkit from Adobe and set up some data manipulation with the toolkit to put data in a database or such.

How to create a check box that can be unchecked

How do I create check boxes that can be checked and the unchecked in Forms Central?
For example, if you accidentally check a box - you want to uncheck it. Right now it doesn't allow you to do that.
please help.
Thanks
Gen

Are you sure you're not using radio buttons? Check boxes behave the way you'd expect for me with a form generated by FormsCentral.
I'm going to move this to the FormsCentral form since the team there may want to take a look at the form.
