Saving filled out forms created in Acrobat Pro 8?

I'm at a loss and have searched through countless online forums and can't find a solution that will work. I have Acrobat Professional 8 and my employees use Reader X, can I create forms that have fields that the users can fill in and then save the forms to their local drive, completely filled out? I have seen some blogs that mention that this capability is in the "Save As" feature, but it doesn't appear to be in mine, so I don't know if I have a different version or am doing something wrong. Any help would be great!

You are the best! I have looked all over and didn't look there. Thanks again so much.

Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Allow Mac Adobe Reader user to save filled-out form

I have created an interactive PDF form for a client's website. Her patients are able to fill out the form and submit it to her. She is able to receive the form, but cannot save it to her Mac using Adobe Reader for the Mac. She says it goes blank when she tries to save it.
I created the form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I double-checked in Acrobat 9 Pro, Extend Features in Adobe Reader, and it says "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader".
Does my client need to have Acrobat in order to save the filled-out forms?
I will attach a test copy of the form.
Thank you very much,
Heather

Can filled out forms have their data changed?

1) I want to use Adobe online forms to take applications for a scholarship. Can my candidates revisit their form on different occasions to add / change their entered information?
2) Can I give a collaborator access to ONLY ONE filled out form?
AJ Willmer

Hi ajwillmer,
Unfortunately, we cannot add or change the data once the form is submitted. If the user submits the form twice, you will received 2 different response.
Also, we can give collaborator access on one particular form and it will be form all the responses received on that particular form.

FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
(And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

tamarsaw, Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
Open Tabs
The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
History
This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)
The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
Any insight would be appreciated...

There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

Hi,
I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks,
s.p

The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.

Acrobat Pro 9 Mac**Making a pdf fill-out form non-editable when it is completed.

HELP!!
If anyone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I see the forums are with LifeCycle but I need direction for the mac version of acrobat pro.
I am creating a fill-out pdf form for distribution. I would like the person who receives the fill out form to complete the form,
and click a "lock all fields" button or "form completed" button that will make all form fields lock/ non editable when emailed back to me.
Where would I put this script? Can someone give me step by step direction for this button?
I am a novice to this. I don't know how to run a javascript for the button or what is needed to get this completed.
Can someone please help me.
Thank you so much-

I am low on the techy food chain and need help. Why does my g-mail address get rejected when I fill out forms on line. I do not have this problem with Safari :(

When filling out forms or needing to give my g-mail address on Firefox, my address is always rejected. It comes up as an non valid address. I then have to switch to Safari to complete all forms. :(

You don't download apps from the iTunes app store with Safari.

User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

Hello,
I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
Thanks

No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

Coding for static fill-out form

fill out form questionnaire?
I am creating in Flash CS4 (AS3) a static fill out form for a website that I am involved in. The questionnaire helps to determine whether a person is suseptible to drug and alcohol abuse with either a postive answer (not likely to develop substance abuse) or a negative answer (likely to develop substance abuse)
There are six questions on this form that MUST be answered either yes or no.
I have created the form with all art and buttons and it is ready to implement in Dreamweaver but need the scripting to make work.
The six YES buttons are assigned instance names of cb1, cb3, cb5, cb7, cb9 and cb11
The six NO buttons are assigned instance names of cb2, cb4, cb6, cb8, cb10
and cb12.
When the participant answers all six questions either yes or no they will hit a Submit button (with an instance name of submit) that will direct them to a new web/flash page with appropriate answer.
If the participant answers TWO or more questions with YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the negative answer.
If the participant answers ONE YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with a positive answer.
If the participant answers ALL NO and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the same positive answer as answering with ONE YES response.
I assume this is a very complex coding problem. I am a beginner/intermidiate flash person with extreme novice understanding of coding. I know what stop(); does in AS3 and understand simple clickTag coding etc.
Would appreciate any help with AS3 coding for this document.
I usually find coding on forums like these and online blogs - but I don't even know where to begin looking.
Thanks

on the timeline that contains your buttons:
var yesNum:int=0;
var noNum:int=0;
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,submitF);
for(var i:int=1;i<=12;i++){
if(1%2==0){
this["cb"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,noF);
} else {
this["cb"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,yesF);
function yesF(e:MouseEvent):void{
yesNum++;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,yesF);
function yesF(e:MouseEvent):void{
noNum++;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,noF);
function submitF(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(yesNum+noNum==12){
// take appropriate action based on yesNum and/or noNum
} else {
// error. all questions not answered.

Attaching a filled out form

Hello
How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Keith.

You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
- Open the Form in Designer
- Add a button object to the form
- Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
- Change the Control type of the button to Submit
- Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
- update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
*Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.

Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

Hello,
Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2? When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes. Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine. As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2. Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment. When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable. I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

From the menu bar, select
Edit ▹ Substitutions
and uncheck Text Replacement.
