I cannot fill in fillable forms.

When I click on the field, I get an error message that says window cannot acces path and I might noto have permissions. This has never happened before and I am really stuck. Anyone have any ideas?

I am using Adobe Reader XI. I have a problem to fill up PDF forms in XP. Simply the cells are not available for me. But I have no problem to fill up the same form in Windows 7.

  • 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.

  • I cannot save a fillable form for future use. It wont open in preview either...what do I need to do?

    I am a paid subscriber and have a fillable form that I want to save and pick up later.
    Do I have no option?
    I tried to even install a pdf driver as a printer and upon print, the fillable form says print not allowed and I have to save...and when I try to save, it says I can only save a blank form!!
    What do I need to do here?

    Hi mlleslie,
    If I understand correctly, you've converted a file and now want to download it and remove it from your Acrobat.com account. Is that correct? What happens when you try to download it from https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you get an error?
    Once you've downloaded it, you can delete it from your account by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Unable to fill in fillable form Adobe Reader XI

    We are migrating users in our Virtual Environment (Citrix Xendesktop) from Windows XP to Windows 7. We have a form that our HR department has been using with no issues on the XP Citrix Image but after being converted to Windows 7 the form will not allow you to fill it in. It Displays the purple bar at the top and the highlight fields is selected but when you click on one of the fields it does not allow you to type anything.
    I have turned off Protected Mode since that is something I saw  in another post.

    What Reader version are you using?  If less than 11.0.06, update to this version.

  • How to create online fillable form using acobrat 7.0 ?

    I want to create an online fillable form but seems like a fill able PDF form is good to enter the information when end user wants to print the document with the filled information. They won't be able to save the filled information unless they have adobe acrobat and every user don't have acrobat. Majority of users will have adobe reader only which does not have the feature of saving the document with the filled information.
    How can I receive the information from this fill able PDF form ?
    I have seen on many website that, they people can fill out the form online and submit the information.
    I know a way too add submit button using acrobat 7 designer but that is very complicated because the user will have to send xml data and i will have to import the xml data into the original pdf form which is very time consuming and not a good idea when i have to deal will 1000 forms every week.
    when a personal is filling a fillable form (which i will upload on my website), that pdf form can't be send directly to me with data in it ?
    this seems to be very complicated.

    For AA7, you can set the file to submit the data, not the entire form. You would have the FDF data file submitted to you. The e-mail feature is not very reliable, but that was not your question. When you receive the FDF file, you may be able to click it and have it open in the form (if you did not move the form and such -- it has some folder information in the FDF). Otherwise, you can open the form and use the form tools to import the data -- forgot where it is in AA7. The end result of the import will be the same display as the submitter had in the form. You can then save the form to a different name. There may be some data handling within Acrobat 7, I don't remember. If not, you might want to get the FDF Toolkit from Adobe and set up some data manipulation with the toolkit to put data in a database or such.

  • Safari cannot handle pdf and forms

    I have two G4s using Tiger and Safari, identical settings. One can read pages which have pdf, and can fill out pdf forms. The other (newer) G4 cannot fill out pdf forms. I made sure that both have the same plug-ins in Library>Internet plug-ins, and now the newer G4 will not even read pdf pages.
    When I open a page with a pdf, it asks me to "select an Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader application to use". I have the latest Adobe Reader installed, but when the request to select comes up, Adobe Reader is GRAYED OUT.
    There is nothing in Safari's amazingly lame Help about this, and no other information available, as far as I can tell. Apple's tech support has been fading fast, and is essentially gone from the Apple Stores except by paying special fees.
    Can anyone provide a solution to this problem?
    PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Do both use the same OS version and Safari version. Per the Acrobat readme.html document,
    Mac OS X v.10.3.x or later and Safari 1.2.2 or later are required to use Adobe Reader in a browser window.

    I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • Cannot fill in a fillable form, AR 9.3.3, Mac OS 10.6.2

    Using a Mac with 10.6.2, just updated to Reader 9.3.3.
    I have downloaded a PDF that is supposed to have filable form fields. The forms properties say the Filling of Form fields is allowed.
    I can get my cursor to blink in each field but cannot get text to that field.
    I have tried  PDF/A - Never, does not help.
    Appreciate some help.
    thanks,
    Rob

    First, ignore that. It just says that IF there are fillable fields, you would be allowed to fill them in but doesn't mean they exist.

    What tool do you have selected when you click those fields. You should have the hand tool selected. If you ave that selected and mouse over a field, what happens.
    Also, if it were a fillable form, you should have gotten a message to that effect unless you have that message disabled.

  • Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

    I have created a 2-page form on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I emailed it to specific people and they filled it out, saved it and emailed it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

    That's what I asked the people I emailed the form to and someone just emailed me saying: "I'll check my adobe. It keeps asking me to update and I keep ignoring it so maybe it was my fault". So there is the answer I guess. I saved the document as an Extended PDF and selected Enable Additional Features. Is there anything else I should consider?

  • ?? Cannot Fill Form

    I received a form from Shell USA for compensation.
    The form is fillable: the security setting tells me that it is allowable to fill. The pointer can be directed to fillable fields, but I cannot type anything.I tried many diffeernt methods in vain.
    I have Windows XP and Adobe reader 9.
    I can copy the form in Word and fill it, but I cannot then return it in PDF.
    Since this seems a very common problem there must be a simple solution ( by the way I am not going to sownload 800Mbytes of PDF adobe professional!
    Any help would be welcome,
    marco

    As I commented in other threads, I researched the idea of deploying a web-fillable form in the most current versions of Adobe Acrobat and Reader ... and found it to be unreliable and intermittent (therefore, utterly useless) in its behavior.  Adobe Reader would randomly say that "the document has been changed, blah blah, contact the author for an updated copy," and refuse to allow the form to be filled.  But if you reload the page two or three times, suddenly it would work.
    Obviously, this behavior is intentionally caused by "yet another one of Adobe's strange we-own-the-world license checks," poorly and incorrectly implemented.  We cannot deploy a solution to hundreds of stores that is not as perfectly reliable in Reader as it is on the developer machines that use Acrobat.  Therefore, I quickly recommended that my proposal should be abandoned in favor of ordinary web-based input screens ... a technology which we know to actually be reliable.
    I would very frankly recommend that you do the same:  it doesn't actually work.  It had great promise, and technically the implementation is obviously solid, but Adobe's lawyers (and insufficient software quality-assurance) renders it non-viable.  (It is also worth observing that Adobe says absolutely nothing to a software developer about what sort of license-controls they actually have in place.  There's even talk in these forums about a "usage count" that drops-dead after 400 or 500 iterations.)
    The "good" news is that this saved our company quite a lot of Adobe Acrobat software-upgrade expense:  we don't need to buy and deploy new product to take advantage of a feature that doesn't actually meet practical business requirements.
    This is, by the way, not a "rant."  Business is business, and the only way to win the game is to actually cross that finish-line first.

  • Reader still cannot save fillable forms

    I'm using LiveCycle Designer to create a fillable form that I wish to have sent back to me as a pdf or for the user to save the completed form locally. I have "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" under the advanced tab. However, when I send the fillable form to my users with reader, sometimes they cannot even fill in the form because it says that the form has been altered since the rights were enabled(which it hasn't) and at other times, they can fill out the form and save it, but the saved file is just a blank form(They're not choosing Save a Copy). I do not wish to use LifeCycle ES Reader Extension because this is a small venture and I don't technically have a server I can access. Can someone give me some clue as to what I might still be doing wrong?

    Sorry.. I thought I replied to this message earlier. Apparently not. In any event, Adobe Reader 9 is being used. There is no script that changes the appearance of the form as far as I'm aware. I downloaded a form from the form gallery.. and enabled the usage rights and then emailed it to myself. When I opened it on my laptop, it told me that the document had been altered since it had been saved(which it hadn't) and wouldn't let me fill in the form or save it.

    I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier  version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

  • Fillable Forms to be saved as non fillable after filled

    I need to distribute a fillable form to committee members to fill out. They then need to save these as non-fillable or normal? pdfs for passing on to non committee members.
    I have created awesome forms that are reader extended but have no way to save these forms as non fillable. Print to .pdf? There has to be a more elegant solution

    Hi Rahatawa,
    How was the form created, if the form was created using LiveCycle Designer: Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF

  • I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out?  Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

    I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document.  I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed.  Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc....  Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
    Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
    Greatly appreciated.

    Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.
