How to Make a pdf that can be downloaded, filled in and saved and then emailed; Acrobat 9 Pro; Windows

Hi,
I hope this hasn't been asked before, but I really need to figure out how to do this.   We take forms in Word, convert them using the wizard, and then the only way I can figure how to make them fill in able and then saveable is to distribute through email.  This won't work for me, I need to put them on a website so they don't rely on me to get the forms.
Any help is appreciated.   Here is a link to a state work site here in washington that has exactly what I need. if that help to clarify what I'm talking  about.
Best, Mary

Hi Mary,
I have recently gone through this same experience.
The first thing is to set the security.
Go to Advanced/Security/2 Encrypt with password.  On this page go to Permissions and click on Restrict editing.
You will need to add a password, choose the printing allowed, and changes allowed - this is where you allow the form
to be filled out.
When you have finished these steps, click ok.
Then from the Advaned menu choose "Extend Features in Adobe Reader".  You will see what access the user has to the form.
Your form should be ready to email or add to a website as a pdf form.
Hope this helps.
Debbie

    I want to put a clickable link in the pdf. 
    do I do this in WordPerfect?  How?
    Your help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Acrobat's Link tool permits creating links.
    The discussion on using this tool starts with the following page in Acrobat's Help:

    Good to know --- WP is not supported by Acrobat as WP uses its own process to output PDF.
    How to use this is discussed in the WP community support forums that Corel maintains.
    A wealth of information there.

  • How to create interactive PDF that can be submitted through website?

    I have created an interactive PDF with a submit button at the bottom that will send to my email when clicked. However, when I uploaded the form to my website to test it, the form didn't do anything once I clicked the 'submit' form.
    So my question is: What do I need to do to allow the form to submit from my website? I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and Dreamweaver Cs5 if it makes a difference.
    Thanks!

    Chrome has its own PDF viewer plugin that is quite buggy when it comes to PDF forms (as do Firefox and Safari, by the way).
    So yes, the best solution is to download the file and then open it locally using Adobe Reader. However, you can't enforce that. It's up to the user and their browser settings. You can only recommend it to them.

  • Can you make a PDF that can display two languages?

    Hi, I have a need to display a PDF in two languages (I work in a hospital clinic). I want the computer to be able to display Spanish to the patient, and when the form is completed, turn the form back into English for printing so the output is readable by clerks (this form goes to people who aren't Spanish speaking for processing). I can provide both the Spanish and English versions of the form. Can this be done in real practice?
    thanks a lot guys

    Windows XP, Acrobat Pro 9.3.4, Office 2010
    Garcon's situation/request may be one where I'll be soon (I work for a medical center in a university setting), so this could be a useful thread. This Layers feature is new to me and sounds promising. However, my initial experience with implementing it has raised several usability issues (which may be due to my Acrobat version and my inexperience with this feature).
    First, you apparently can't import a foreign language (e.g., Esperanto) pdf as a layer into an English pdf and then set it so that you can only see Esperanto -- you can only toggle the Esperanto layer on or off with the English always on display. My work-around was to create a blank pdf and then import the English and Esperanto pdf file into layers. Then there's no way to set it with the default Acrobat controls so that if a user opens the file using Reader that only one of the layers is active (I don't know if it's possible with JavaScript).
    Second, if it's a multi-page document you will have to import each page separately for each language (some forms we translate into 7 different languages). That'll become tedious and also increases the risk for mistakes. Best approach here probably will be separate LanguageX/English files instead of one monster LanguageA/LanguageB/etc./English file.
    Finally, form fields can't be assigned/displayed by layer (using default Properties windows), nor will they import into a layer if your source pdf has form fields. Unless by some miracle the form fields all line up in the same spot (unlikely as one language we occassionlly translate into is Arabic), creating and positioning all the form fields may get tedious real quick. The sample form I was working with has almost 200 potential form fields across 3 pages.
    Any usability tips or links to using layers in forms will be appreciated.

  • How do I make a pdf that can submit a form to the email selected in a combo box?

    I'm trying to be able to have the user of a pdf I'm creating, select an email in a combo box and then hit send and have it send to that email address that was selected.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    I don't think (but may be wrong) that you can do that within InDesign. At the very least, you could draw the form within InDesign but I guess that the interactivity between the list selection and the mail action should be achieved with Acrobat Scripting or LiveCycle Designer if you have it.
    FWIW,

  • How to make an app that uses plugins???

    Hello All,
    I am relatively new to programing and i have never done some thing like this so what i would like to know is.
    How can i make an app that can get/load plugins from a folder and then use them to copy files from one place to another(i got he copy part down just need the plugin part.
    And then i need to know how to parse the location of the file that needs to be copied and the folder it needs to be copied to into the plugin.
    Thanks in advance.

    What you do it to define a common interface which plugins have to implement. Typically you place the .class files for the plugins in a special directory (not on the class path) and you create a URLClassLoader to load the plugin classes. Class names (FQNs) for plugins are usually in some kind of configuration file.
    One you load the class you'll usually create a single instance (with Class.newInstance()) and cast it to the common interface. It's simpler to use a no-args constructor and define some kind of initialize method in the interface to initialise the plugin. Typically you pass some kind of context object when you initialize the plugin, which the plugin can use to comunicate with the framework.

  • Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • How to make a pdf editable and save for print

    Hi,
    I just joined Adobe Cloud and it's been a while since I have used acrobat. I have made a brochure that I need a couple of things to be editable on. See below. I need the two areas highlighted in red to be editable for different locales/people. My questions are:
    A) I assume Acrobat is the way to do this. I also have FormsCentral if that works better. Can someone tell me how to make these two fields editable?
    B) What program do they edit with?  Acrobat Reader?
    C) How do they save and output it for print?
    Thank you,
    John

    This is not about what Acrobat can or can't do - and you just said they won't have it anyway. It's about the limitations of PDF. A proper solution is to develop (at some expense) a server side PDF generator that takes the user's input and makes them a custom PDF. I don't know if you can just subscribe to a service to do this. If you aren't going to have them use Acrobat, form fields are your only option. Be sure they (and you) understand the limitations and that they must use Reader (not one of the many other PDF viewers). Be sure you understand about reader enabling: many versions of Reader CANNOT SAVE filled in files unless they are specially prepared.
    So back to your original question: how do you make the fields editable: with the Forms function in Acrobat. You may have better luck in the Acrobat Forms forum.

  • I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot use the software.. so you need to figure out where the problem is..
    But let me suggest.. the Mac is not the issue and likely the info from Sony is also up the creek.. they make PC's after all.
    It is far more likely the camera is having issues with the wireless network.
    Do you know you have a connection to the home network on the camera.. ?? You have an IP address and some internet or local access at least?
    How you will discover those things is by fiddling.. but if you can tell me what wireless AP you are using that will help.

  • How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    @nalinss
    There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
    A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
    So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.
