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?
Any help would be much appreciated!

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 allow a user to save a filled in fillable form in reader?

how do I allow a user to save a filled in fillable form in reader?
I created a form in livecycle and i want other users that i send it to, to be able to save that they have typed.

Hi,
Try reader extending the form. Opening the form in Acrobat and then do File ... Save As Other ... Reader Extended PDF ... Enable more tools (includes form fill-in and save).
That's for Acrobat XI, it's different for other versions, might be under tools in earlier ones.

Need help with folder level javascript to automate "save button" on a fillable form

I have been racking my brain for the past 6 hours trying to get a simple save button to work.
Background: I am using Acrobat Pro 11 to create a save button on a fillable form. My intent is for the end users (my team of 3, whos computers I have access to) to be able to fill out the form, click save, and have the filename appended with date and other info and saved to a local folder on their machine.
I am attempting to take the default form name i.e. Support Call Log.pdf and have three of the feilds within the form generate a new file name. --> Support Call Log_Brad_121_2015
End users will fill out the form using adobe viwer X.
Instead of putting the code that I have tried, modified, and tried again and again. I would like to ask for a fresh start and then see if I can locate my error after. I need to know what to put in my folder level script, line for line.
I also need to know the correct syntax and format to establish a new file name with the extracted feild data, saved to the same exact file path as the original document.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, I am about to go crazy!!!

Didn't let me do it, invalid. So, here is what I have now changed my button code to:
//get field value
var fv1 = getField("Technician:").value;
var fv2 = getField("Date Received:").value;
var fv3 = getField("Unit Number:").value;
// Split Path into an array so it is easy to work with
var aMyPath = this.path.split("/");
// Remove old file name
aMyPath.pop();
var NewFileName = "Support Call Log" + "_" + fv1 + "_" + fv2 + "_" + fv3 + ".pdf";
NewFileName = NewFileName.replace(/[\s\!\?\<\>\'\"\*\/\\\=\?\^\`\{\}\|\~]+/g, "_");
aMyPath.push(NewFileName);
//save
mySaveAs(this,aMyPath.join("/"));
Im still getting the error dialogue box, and nothing shows in my javascript debugger window when I click the button. Seems to be something goofy with my Folder level script:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(
     function(oDoc, cPath, cFlName)
          cPath = cPath.replace(/([^/})$/, "$1/");
          try{
               oDoc.saveas(cPath + cFlName);
               catch(e){
                              app.alert("Error During Save");

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?

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.

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.
Meg

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

How to save entries in Cash Journal with status 'Posted'?

Hi all,
I has been asked to create entries in a Cash Journal with status 'POSTED'. Obviously, FM 'BAPI_CASHJOURNALDOC_CREATE' only saves entry (status 'SAVED'), but didn't change its status to 'POSTED'.
After some investigation of different FM in a CJ area, I found the only way to change status via CALL TRANSACTION 'FBCJ' -> 'POST ALL' (for receipts, for example). This is not a decition I'm searching for.
My question is: how can I change status of a Cash Journal single entry to 'Posted'?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

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 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 save encrypted mail in decrypted form?

This should not be so difficult on a Mac. Searching archives found a locked thread in 10.4 which was not properly resolved.
How to to save an encrypted email in decrypted form?
The wrong answer is to say, "You don't have to, only a certificate's ability to encrypt expires." As to why this is wrong, 1) I want to. And 2) Because the US Government in their infinite infallible wisdom deletes my prior certificate from CAC when issuing a new CAC. Can't copy certificates off a smart card.
So once the integrity of the email has been verified I want to strip the encryption off so it will be accessible in the future and accessible without having to dig for the CAC, have a smart card reader, and have the necessary software installed.
Using redirect shift-option-E to send the email back to myself only changed the certificate (to mine) but with the original From address so it was flagged as broken. All the while I thought I was forwarding it w/out encryption. And if thats not bad enough the original disappeared. The good news is a copy was left in my Send folder in the format desired, no encryption.

Once the cert expires, you will no longer be able to use it to encrypt or sign mail. However, you can still use it to decrypt messages that you have received. Just leave it in your keychain, and everything will continue to work without changes. If you look at your keychain, you will see it listed, but marked expired.
Likewise, other people that have the expired public key will be able to use that key to verify the signature or decrypt your messages; they will be notified as appropriate that the key has expired.
If you do not want to spend money on a new cert, you may be able to get a free one from Thawte, or perhaps use the one available from Apple. Enable encryption in iChat, which generates a .Mac cert for you. Once that process has completed, open Keychain Access, go to preferences, and set "Search .Mac for certificates" and restart mail. That should allow you to use the iChat certificate for mail.
