How to fill out Forms on iPad?

I have created a form with text boxes and drop downs to submit.  This form is primarily for use on ipads. 
1)  will it work on iPads?
2) what reader/app is best to use?
Thanks!
Lance

Make sure that you are using the Adobe Reader Mobile. You can't submit if you use any other PDF application.

  • How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

    I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

    Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
    If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

  • Create and Fill Out Forms on iPad?

    I have recently started a small business, but people must fill out a short form to recieve the item. I sometimes am away from the business when the form is needed to be filled out. I would like to save on ink and paper. So are there any apps for the iPad in which I can create a form and have people be able to fill it out and sign it right there on the iPad? I have downloaded many apps and signed up for many things, but either I can't work them orthe form must be e-mailed to the person. I need an app where I can have people fill it out and sign it right on the spot.

    Hi There
    We have a solution called iForm Pro (www.iformpro.co.uk) that would allow you to automate your forms and capture signatures, take photos and write on them and even calculate invoice values etc.
    Hope this helps

  • Filling out forms on iPad

    I'm designing a form in InDesign which will be saved as PDF, The client wants to fill out the form on an iPad, and export the completed form field data to Excel. Is this possible?

    First part probably yes, the second one no, at least not on the iPad.

  • How to fill out form using adobe?

    I downloaded adobe to fil out the form but i cant still open it.

    You either need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro, or go to a place such as http://www.pdfescape.com/ to fill out the form.  There is an edit functionality in Preview application, but that doesn't always fill out all types of forms.

  • How to Fill in Forms on Ipad w/Adobe Ideas

    I read an Apple post (Apple - iPad in Business - Profiles - Dr. Jonathan Ferencz) about a prosthodontist who uses AI w/Ipads for his patient files. According to the post, the combination enables patients to fill in their intake forms on the Ipad
    I installed AI on my Ipad but don't see a way to enable this function. Can somebody give the steps involved in setting up AI on Ipad so that patients can fill in their paperwork?
    Thank you.

    What this business is likely doing is importing an image of the form into the document's image layer, then selecting the draw layer and having the patients write directly in the draw layer.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I received the filled out form via email? After the user hits SUBMIT, I'd like to receive the filled out form via email.

    Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

  • Opening filled out forms on non Adobe programs (like Preview) causes info to not appear.  How can I fix this?

    I didn't distribute using FormsCentral, I sent my form out manually.  I have now received lots of email responses with my filled out forms.  How can I easily save these as individual PDFs that are readable and printable, and not missing an information?

    Hello,
    yes we are using Adobe Reader / Acrobat on Windows XP / 7. We don't use a third party pdf product.
    I have repeated the following YouTube video and the PDF file in the email is emty (you can see the form but without the filled in text):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtU2mnQZlW0
    Is it possible that the Adobe Product wants to connect to Adobe server to enable the feature if I save the file? We don't have a direct internet connection - we have to use a http proxy with authentication.
    Best Regards,
    Ralf

  • Ipad- filling out forms

    Can you fill out forms on the ipad? I.E. tabbing through the form on a computer.

    Yes. But you can't normally tab through fields, unless you have an external keyboard. But you can click in the next field with your finger.

  • When I send an email notification that the form has been sent I want the receiver to get a copy of the actual filled out form not a ling to the data, how can I make this happen?

    Hi,
    you can find documentation for Designer under this website
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/documentation.html#task=4,5&module=2
    In Designer you can use the JavaScript API of Acrobat.
    So the Devnet for Acrobat is also a good source.

  • How do I get it to automatically fill in my name/address/email/etc. when filling out forms?

    Is there a setting that makes the computer automatically fill in my name, address, email address, etc. when I'm filling out forms, like in other browsers I've used?

    You can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4775/ Autofill Forms] add-on.

  • FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

    Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
    The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
    If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
    (And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

    tamarsaw, <br />Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
    It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
    Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
    The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
    <u>Open Tabs</u>
    The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
    Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
    <u>History</u>
    This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
    <u>Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)</u>
    The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

  • Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

    How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

    When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

    My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
    I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
    To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
    How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
    Any insight would be appreciated...

    There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
    For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
    What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
    However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
    If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

  • Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
    I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved  to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I  see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
    May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    s.p

    The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
    It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.
