I am unable to create a form that I can move the fields in - using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a PC

I need to make fill-in forms with little space between questions. Adobe Acrobat XI Pro does not allow me to alter fields and sizes as I need to. Advice?

Is the Snap to Grid option ticked under View - Show/Hide - Rulers and Guides? If so, un-tick it.

How to create a form that people can fill out

I'm creating forms using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with the goal being to save the form on a network drive so users may access the form, fill out the form fields and save the file. Currently, users are not able to complete the form; it requires them to print out the form in order to complete. I am very techno-ignorant, so I sure that it is user error. Any guidance towards resources or assistance would be greatly appreaciated

In order:
- have they Acrobat Reader, and are they able to use it?
- are your form correct? (permissions settings, etc etc)
- Are you creating your form from zero or from another documents?

I want to be able to fill out the form and it place itself into Sheet 1 without changing everytime. I can index the array from the form, but it changes everytime.

You think it would be the other way around.
Just speculation, but forms probably came to iOS first because of likely use for data entry in the field that syncs back to the Mac. On a small screen with a touch interface, forms make inputing values easier.
On the Mac, with its bigger screen, typing directly into a data table often works well enough.

I would like to create a simple vote form that members can hit the reply button and record their preference in a check box. Is this possible on iPad?

Go to the App Store and search on "Forms Management".
There are a lot of candidates.

I want to create a form that i can drop pictures in a certain place

i want to create a form that i can drop pictures into

Unfortunately Formscentral does not support drag and drop pictures into your form. If you want to form filler submit their images with other form data, you can use file attachment field. Add an file attachment field when design form, so that form filler can add their image file into it and submit with other form data.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Does anyone know the best way to create a form that you can do a mail merge with?

I have been asked to create a form that can be used to do a mail merge. At first I thought I could create it in indesign and then pdf the file and do form fields right in the pdf, but I'm not sure if you can do a mail merge with data in an excel file and a pdf file containing form fields.
The other option I know I could use is a Word file and excel, but I don't think the functionality is as good as in a pdf (like addition of percentages, or error messages, radio buttons, etc.). And I do need to be able to do a mail merge. Anybody have any suggestions?

There is not built-in feature for this, but it can be done with scripting. The problem is it can be a bit complicated, and it more complicated to decribe in much detail in a forum posting. It involves creating the base form and making the pages templates. You can export from Excel to a tab delimited text file. You can then either programmatically create a template-based FDF that when loaded into Acrobat populates the PDF form, creating as many individual forms as needed, or using JavaScript in Acrobat to read the data file and generate as many individual forms as needed. Both approaches involve a similar amount of programming, but they're quite different.
You might want to look into this product, which apparently is no longer available but may be come back soon: http://www.debenu.com/products/eol/arts-pdf-variform-lite/

Change the "Instructions Line" in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro for fillable forms

I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro - Currently the Instructions say "Please fill out the following form" - I need to change it to "Fill out highlighted fields, choose "Print Form", and follow Instructions on printed Form". I don't know how to customize the default instructions.

You don't have the ability to change that. If you did, it could be used to spoofing purposes. You can display instructions in a popup dialog or button on the page that when clicked hides itself.

Can you create a form that you can save to disk?

I created a form for a client. While testing, I got a prompt that the file cannot be saved when completed. It can only be printed. What I'm trying to do is create an estimate form for my client he can fill and save. He then can email or print the form to get client approval. Thanks in advance.

Hello graffiti,
You can send out as many forms as you wish however you can only collect responses from 500 recipients according to the EULA:
16.8.3 For any unique Extended Document you may only either (a) Deploy such Extended Document to an unlimited number of unique recipients but shall not extract information from more than five hundred (500) unique instances of such Extended Document or any hardcopy representation of such Extended Document containing filled form fields; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such recipients. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite shall not increase the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite you may have obtained).
If Mr. Met is going to receive back in excess of 500 responses then indeed he would need to get the Reader server product.

I want to create a form that as you add the numbers it adds the data from different fields...

I would like to create a form similar to a shopping bag where you can enter amount and unit price and it would grab the multiplied total, then it would add the sum of all in a totals section...

Sorry FormsCentral doesn't support calculations on online forms. You could achieve something like that with a PDF form (with the logic you need in it) and then import this PDF in FormsCentral.
If you use the PayPal integration with the online form then paypal will show the total.

Create a form that user can fill online, print and not save.

I have form that I want user to fill out. I want them to send it via email or print and not save the information that was typed into it.
Where or how do you put that type of security?
Thank you!

through adobe policy server you can give only online access to the document(means that document will not be opened unless user is authenticated with the policy server) and assign policy to user to restrict him only printing and filling in form fields.
Also you can revoke that document after sometime.

Help! I created a form using Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I created a form with fields, then closed it for editing. However, one of the fields is in the wrong font and I need to change it, as well as the order in which the fields are tabbed, but I cannot get Adobe to allow me to edit the form again. I've tried 'save as' numerous times. Please don't tell me I have to create the form from scratch again!

Thanks. Not sure why that sometimes works and at other times not. In X Pro it is really cumbersome - was far easier in Adobe Acrobat 8.

Where is the Url for free Adobe Acrobat X Pro that will allow me to create PDF/X ‑1a requires all fonts to be embedded,

Is there a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro that will allow me to create PDF/x‑1a with all requires all fonts to be embedded. I already have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

The Standard joboptions that are used by default don't embed most so-called system fonts.
Change your joboptions to High Quality Print and you will get Arial embedded plus much higher quality imagery.
BTW, PDF/X is great (I'm actually Chair of the PDF/X standards committee), but PDF/X-1a created by using the PDF/X-1a joboptions ruins output by flattening transparency, yielding stitching and other image artifacts that you can see both on screen and print if your document has any transparency (including drop shadows, reflections, and even clipped images). It also forces all content to CMYK. PDF/X-4 is a better choice.
What are you creating the PDF file from? Microsoft Office documents? Adobe layout programs such as InDesign?
Let us know and we can give you a more focused recommendation as to what to do.

How do I create PDF so that user can insert a placed file using Acrobat Reader

I have just upgraded to CS4 which has Adobe Acrobat Pro. I am creating PDF's within Pro, adding text fields and buttons for customers to access and fill in using Adobe Reader. This has worked great but I would also like to add a box with text saying 'insert logo here' and when the customer clicks on it then searches their system for the logo, selects and places within the PDF. Can anyone help me on this one?

Try the forum for Adobe Acrobat.
