How to secure information completed on a fill in form?

How do I secure or lock the information I've entered onto an acrobat fill in form so I can send the form to others and the info can't be changed?

Users with Reader can use digital signatures.
Reader can use JavaScript to set a field to read only.
Only Acrobat can flatten a form.

  • How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

    How do I edit text in a fill-in form?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX.  The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added.  Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates).  Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc.  I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it.  Please, tell me there is a better way!
    If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

    Fonts are Licensed asset's subject to single user use. They are not intended to be exchanged, redistributed, etc.
    As part of the PDF standard they included in a document so that the document can be viewed reliably without the font be installed on the viewing station.
    To edit you must have the font installed on your computer. The ability for second parties to use the font would violate font licenses.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Newbie - Adobe 7 Prof - How do you automatically clear fields after filling out form and printing

    A form housed in a database displayed on the web, allows the user to open, fill out some information and then print using the "Print button". How can I have the form automatically reset the fields to blank after the form is no longer being viewed on the screen or even after printing? If user goes back to the same form later without rebooting or cacheing, the information that was entered is still there. I'm new to this and have very little scripting experience. Your help would be VERY appreciated.

    I've read the article at the website provided. Can you provide specifics on what to add where. I'm working in Adobe Designer 7.0...are the changes to be made there or in the Adobe Prof 7.0 for the Client?

  • Reader X - Getting Security Alert with a data filled PDF form

    My site uses PDF forms that have their data filled in dynamically by the classic asp code on the site. Before Reader X version, they were filled and displayed without a problem. With Reader X they display the security warning: "Data from this site is blocked to avoid potential security risks....." and the Options button to trust the site. I get this even thoguh it's the same site they are on already and I'm using an SSL cert for all files and I'm also using a direct link to generate the PDF.
    I know the user can just click the options and make the problem go away but many users seem unable to read and or panic when they see the alert.
    Is there a security setting or trust setting I can add or set in my form so that I will not get this security alert??

    No, apart from creating a certified document, but the user would still have to add you as a trusted source. If a document could override this, it would be rather pointless to have it in the first place.

  • How to retain font-size when saving filled in form (pdf)

    Hi,
    I have a pdf form from an organization and when I fill in the (text)boxes, the more text I put in there, the font-size will adjust to fit everything in. However, when I save the pdf file and view it in a different pdf reader the font-size is too big and half of the text is not visible.
    Also, the form contains some checkboxes/radiobuttons. When filling in the form they work just fine, but when saved and viewed both the yes and no are checked, even though I only checked one of them.
    Anyone have any idea how I could fix this?
    Thank you in advance
    (using: Acrobat XI 11.0.0)

    Ow.. I don't know the solution yet, but maybe something went wrong earlier with someone else who filled it in partially. I found the original on the internet and that seems to work so far.

  • How to retrieve information on UNIX Host from oracle Forms

    Hi,
    Has anybody tried to retrieve manipulated information
    on the Unix Server From the oracle forms running on a client ?.
    If it is to be done by user exit and calling the pro*c code
    then where should the pro*c code exist ?. on server or on client.
    1. If on server then can that code return the value to form ?.
    2. If on client then can that code access the unix server and
    return the value ?..
    OR
    any other method or tool to do the above.
    Thnaks and regards
    null

    I can only tell you what we've done for our system. We have
    client applications which need to send/recv information from the
    UNIX server (report submission, etc.)
    We have a deamon (written in PRO*C) which runs on the UNIX
    server. This deamon constantly monitors a pipe (using the
    DBMS_PIPE package available with ORACLE 7.1). The client apps.
    send requests through this pipe and wait for the server deamon to
    process the request and send responses down a "return pipe".
    This approach has served us well.
    With ORACLE 8, you can (according to what I've read) link
    external object modules (similar to ORA_FFI on the client), which
    would make these OS specific functions available to the database
    developer via PL/SQL but we're just now looking at ORACLE 8 so I
    have no first hand experience with this.

  • How can I submit or save a filled out form?

    I have an Adobe form pending that responds "The operation is not allowed." when I click the submit button to email it.  The same form will only save in its blank state.  I am using Reader on a Macbook Pro.  I have tried setting the security preferences so that the source (and destination) of the form is trusted or privileged but that didn't work.  Is this a security matter or a buy-more-software matter.  The form needs to go out by email.  -N

    Make sure you update to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.07).

  • Maintaining security information across pages

    Is there an efficient way to maintain the security principal/credential
              associated with the JNDI Context across pages within a session? Or is there
              some place that describes how the security information is retained/released
              by the servlet engine?
              We tried storing the Context in the session object and accessing it through
              a convenience method. This works for EJB lookup but results in the user
              reverting to "guest". A similar thing happens when using handles to retain
              access to a stateful bean across JSP pages. The only workaround currently
              is to get the InitialContext on every page, even if it's not being used.
              thanks,

    I don't think you can use jsp:getProperty directly for an array.

  • Inserting a Fill-in Form inside InDesign Folio

    Hello:
    Did a search, so I trust this has not been asked/answered previously.
    I am creating an InDesign document that I would like to embed a fill-in form that can be submitted back to me.
    If anyone has seen the Clemson World folio that is free on iTunes, you will see a form embedded in one of the pages that asks for name, address, etc, etc.  There is also a submit button, that then sends the form to a predesignated email.
    I would like to add this type of form directly into my InDesign document and being a complete beginner, I have failed to understand how thus far.  I developed a fill-in form in Acrobat X pro and then placed the form on my page, but there was no fill-in capability.  Only a view of the form.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to avoid security information pop up when using BSP in SRM

    Hi. I have created a custom BSP and have flagged it as HTTPS in the properties, and the URL does start HTTPS.
    I have then put this BSP in a role in SRM and can access it from the internal ITS after logging into SRM. Obviously the main SRM URL is also HTTPS. The BSP actually does its job fine.
    However, when I click on the BSP I get the security information pop up telling me that the page contains both secure and nonsecure items every time.
    How can I avoid this?
    I have read the article on the wiki, but it does not apply to my BSP as there are no links at all in my BSP, and everything is HTTPS.
    We can not change the IE settings as all our desktops are locked down and configured in the same way from an outsource company.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    Hi. I'd already seen that, and it is not quite the same as mine. That link is about calling a BSP as a catalog in SRM and switching from HTTPS to HTTP.
    I am calling the BSP direct from the SRM main menu and everything of mine is HTTPS, I am not switching.
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Regards,
    Dave.
