Quick Tip: How to create editable form fields | Acrobat X Tips & Tricks | Adobe TV

A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
http://adobe.ly/wzXkmL

I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

How to creater dynamic form in Acrobat 9

Can I make a form that will dynamically add pages (with header and footer) when needed in Adobe Acrobat 9 and if so where is the best documentation on how to do this?

You can dynamically add pages using templates. This requires some relatively simple JavaScript programming. It will work in Acrobat (Pro or Standard) and Reader 11 (Win/mac), but not previous versions of Reader. Here are some links to the Acrobat javaScript reference:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_Dev_Templates.80.1.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_Dev_Templates.80.2.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1216.html
If you don't get a two-paned window with the navigation pane on the left, click "Show Navigation" icon in the upper-left.
If it has to work with previous versions for Reader, Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows comes with the LiveCycle Designer application. With it you can create dynamic XFA forms that can work with Reader.

Create Accessible Forms in Acrobat Pro XI/Forms Central

Hello FormCentral Development Team -
I read a previous thread that FormsCentral does not create Accessible Forms (Section 508 or WCAG 2.0) and must be made accessible in Acrobat Pro XI by a series of steps in the software. However, when I tried to follow the instructions of 1)Adding Tags; 2) Setting langugage; 3) Document Structure, etc., all of these options are grayed out. I've inserted a scree shot on a test form created in FormCentral and opened in Acrobat Pro XI for remediate. What am I doing wrong?

Use this FAQ on how to edit a FormsCentral PDF and then follow the steps to make the form accessible: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
Thanks,
Josh

I am trying to create a form in acrobat pro 8 and it can't be filled in in reader 9

When I open the form in reader, it says it is a pdf/a file.and the form fields do not show up unless I go to edit/preferences in reader and tell it to never view documents in pfd/a mode. I am putting this document on my website for users to fill out, and don't want them to have to do that. How do I create the form that is not a pdf/a document? I have been messing around with this for a day and have not been successfull. I have an old document from last year that apparently is not a pdf/a document and it works fine. I cannot make this year's document open correctly in reader 9. http://www.houseofsweden.us/docs/DecNightsSignUps2009.pdf This is a very simple form created from a word document.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

How to create interactive PDF in Acrobat Pro 11 from Indesign 6 on a Mac and keep all interactivity?

I've seen much discussion on this topic or issue.
I have a 175 page doucment that needs an active TOC, urls that link, buttons that "go back to TOC" on each page and "to next page - to previous page". You can only see the functions properly in Acrobat Reader.
What's up with that? That doesn't work for my deverse client base.
Is it because this was a file originally created in ID 5? I ask because I have since created a new file, exactly the same way with the same interactive attributes as the file that doesn't work and it works fine.
Is my file too many pages for Acrobat to handle?
Please help, my contract depends on this file working.

What you're asking for is perfectly achievable, but it won't work universally. The page count is immaterial.
Table of Contents entries created in InDesign are automatically converted into links when exported to PDF, provided the hyperlinks option on the PDF export dialog has been checked. They should work fine in any desktop software.
Buttons which link to a fixed page and 'next page/previous page' buttons created in InDesign will use a link method that requires JavaScript - this is fully-supported in the Acrobat Family on desktop platforms, but third-party renderers such as Firefox's internal viewer, and mobile PDF apps, have little or no support for scripting.

How to create fillable forms for users of reader IX or X in acrobat pro XI?

I created fillable forms in Acrobat Pro XI. How can i make them fillable also for users with Reader IX or X? As Adobe Reader für Vista or Linux is only available in version IX or X, it is not possible for these users to fill in the forms?

Open PDF Form in Acrobat XI then choose File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (inclues form fill-in & save)...
Then, save the form with new name and it's gonna work.

Creating Forms in Acrobat Pro

I have created a form in Acrobat Pro. I want to be able to email it out to my clients, have them fill it out, save it and email it back to me.
I've got the form created. I looks great and works well if you've got ACrobat Pro. But all my clients just have reader.
They can't fill out the form and email it back. I get a lot of errors saying that their version of Acrobat can only save a blank copy.
What can I do to fix this? I really need them to be able to fill out this form and email it back to me.
Thanks.
-DRW

Really. Have to say that's kind of irritating.
Not really sure what Adobe is trying to accomplish with that. I have Acrobat Pro, all my clients have Reader... what's the big deal? Why 500? why not 600 or 510?
There are too many rules to keep up with... I'm moving to Canada. They are less strict up there... lol.
Thanks for the heads up. It'll be years before I reach the 500 uses. Maybe by then Adobe won't care.

How to create a form to be filled out on the iPad?

Hello,
I have created a daily report/timesheet pdf form to be filled out by our jobsite superintendents on their iPads. I have tried everything (including downloading as many free-and some not so free-apps from the app store) and still cannot get my forms to work on the iPads. Most of these will not even open my file. I have no problem purchasing an app, but I would love to know that it will indeed work beforehand.
My questions are:
Can I create a form with Acrobat Pro that can be filled in on an iPad?
What iPad apps actually offer this function?
(If we make it this far) Are there any limitations to the complexity of the forms I create?
Additional Info: I emailed the pdf form document to myself as an attachment. On my desktop, it opens like a normal PDF. On my iPad it is labelled as "winmail.dat" and will only not open.
Thank you.

Thanks George.
Does the PDF Expert app allow you to include drop downs, check boxes, etc in your forms? At the moment, all I need the app for is to fill this form... naturally, we can find more uses for it as we use it, but I would hate to download it only to find that it won't work. Could I by chance email you the form to see if it will work?
Regarding the "winmail.dat" issue, I emailed it in HTML, Rich, and plain. It shows up the same in every one.
Thanks again.

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat Pro XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

I created a form using acrobat XI pro. SOME users of the form cannot save the form. what can i do from my side to 'correct' the issue?

Do you know what PDF viewer those users were using? Do you have any more details about what happens when they attempt to save?

Problems with creating forms in Acrobat Pro 9

I like (sort of) the new style for creating forms. However; execution leave much to be desired.
I spent 6 hours yesterday adding about 20 (a mix of Text and check boxes) boxes to one page on a two page pdf. about every 2 minutes or so I would have a crash.
Using OSX4.11 on a 1.67 GB PowerBook (powerpc) 17" Laptop (system Ram is 2 GB). I made the mistake of instead of buying the CD package from Adobe opted to download from Adobe (on a 1 MB DSL line) took a couple of hours to download) I created a DVD installer disk. But anyway after a certain point the program asked for system password and did a reinstall/repair. Still didn't help.
In previous versions there was a way to adjust memory Cache there is none in this version. usually I had to set to 1000 just to keep Acrobat from Crashing, looking at a PDF. Now there is no way to set.
keeps on I am going to have to decompress acrobat 8 so I can do forms.

No Haxies. I decompressed my back up of Acrobat 8 and used a original copy of the PDF to create the forms. Acrobat didn't have the first hiccup. took all of 15 minutes.
I tried to do the same on Acrobat 9, after I used AppleJack to dump all my cache files. same results about ever 2-1/2 - 3 minutes Crash City.
If you want to look at the original PDF with no form text and check boxes. I can send to you. its only page two I'm interested in.

Reader Extending Designer Form in Acrobat Pro 8

Dear All,
Last year I managed to put together an organisational survey where users fill in a form created in Designer 7.0 and then hit a submit button which spits all entered data out to an MS Database. It worked great.
I reader extended this survey to work on adobe reader 7.0 as that was what was installed on most of the client machines at the time.
Now I am revising the survey for 2008 but running into a problem which has just about got the better of me.
No matter what I do, running the reader extended form in adobe reader ver x.x does not submit the entered data to the database. Yet if I run it in Acrobat Pro or the preview tab through Designer, it works fine.
For simplicity, I have created a test form.
It only has a text field which is linked to a field within an MS database. The MS database only has 1 field.
The form then has a submit button which contains the following java code for the click event.
xfa.sourceSet.test.update();
xfa.sourceSet.test.close();
app.alert("Worked!!!!");
Another button (which is set to invisible) contains the following java code
xfa.sourceSet.test.open();
xfa.sourceSet.test.addNew();
which is triggered on the initialize event.
All works fine until I have to open the form in Acrobat Pro 8 to reader extend it. The saved reader extended version when opened in any reader version, does nothing when clicking the submit button. Yet I know it has been successfully reader extended because when opening in reader 7.0 it says you can save data entered in this form.
I have tried with Designer 7.0 but same thing.
When I open the form I created in early 2007 in Reader 7.0 and it works I sit mystified and say "How?"
The issue is definetly with the reader extending.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as I have exhausted all avenues I can think of.
Thanking You in advance.
Daniel

Acrobat 8 Professional includes LiveCycle Designer 8, so if the form was created with LiveCycle Designer 8 or older, the yes should have the option to edit the form. Acrobat 8 Professional under the menu option 'Forms' will have an option to open the form in LiveCycle Designer. If the form was created with a newer version, there could be some issues with newer features not available in version 8.
