I created a fillable form with drop downs...

and such using the Adobe Forms Central for my business quotes.  I created the form, saved it as a pdf, tested the form by going through and filling it out with data, whether it was text, dates, or drop down options, and emailed it.  One lady didn't see any of the information I put in, only the original questions.
My son saw all of it, on his computer, but he could also change the form to read something different.  Obviously, I can't have clients changing their quotes.  Is there a way for me to save a version that is readable, only, to the client?  I've been clicking buttons, but the form took me a while and I'm afraid I'll click the wrong thing and have to start from scratch.
I did try going into the pdf, once it was completed with the information and making it read only, but it said I couldn't do that.  I tried encrypting it with a password, but it wouldn't let me do that either.  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

What you can do is flatten the form field once you've filled them in, and save as a new file. A free JavaScript-based tool is available and makes the process simple: https://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
It includes instructions for installing it, but they're a bit out of date, so post again if you get stuck.
Since you mentioned FormsCentral, one thing you may need to do first is remove the usage rights of the form by selecting: File > Save a Copy
and then work with the copy. It doesn't open automatically when you do this.

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • PDF evaluation Form with drop-down - values are not averaging correctly

    Can someone help me modify my form so that it averages the value in the drop down menu correctly?  One of the items in the drop should have no value at all - not even 0.  I cannot figure out what to do in the document to get the other ratings in the drop to average ,but want the NR - No rating label to have no value at all.  Im on deadline and in someone of  a panic.  
    Can anyone hep?

    Then the overall rating for that section would be left blank.  Can you assist me with creating the Javascript?  Do I continue with using the adobe acrobat 10 or do I need to use the adobe lifecycle.   This is completely new to me.  
    I have watchted videos, but none have explained the steps for this process step by step.  Thanks in advance.
    The rating options for the user in the drop down boc will look something like this: 
    NR- Not Rated
    1- Needs Development
    2- Below Expectations
    3- Competent - Meeting Expectations
    4- Role Model
    5- Exceptional

  • Basic Form with Drop Down Menu Help

    Hi Guys,
    I have just started using dreamweaver and i dont use code or anything yet.  I have been following a tutorial from thesitewizard which runs through the basics of creating a web page in the design screen.  It created a form to insert but i need to know how to create a form which has a drop down menu to have say 4 or 5 options to select the normal name email comments etc fields and submit button to enbale people to contact me.  Can anyone help with this.  Pleae keep in mind i am very new to this and dont have any code experience etc at all.
    Thanx in advance for any help.
    cheers
    chris

    You will need to use a form processing script to handle your form data.  This isn't terribly difficult, but it's more than you can do in Design View alone.
    Have a look at this form building service.

    Another one to look at - although I've never used it myself, it gets mentioned a lot in these groups.

  • Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 - Forms with drop down fields providing fill-in options upon hovering

    I have been sent a few form documents created in Microsoft Word which contain drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering over those fields on the form.  These form documents end in ".docx".  I do not own Microsoft
    Word for Mac, but am considering buying it or signing up for the Office 365 service for Mac so that I can fill in these fields using the drop down options.  My question is:
    Will Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 for Mac service allow me to use the drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering?  Or is this feature not available when using either Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 service
    on a Mac?
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • Error with Drop -down UI elements in my HCM PF Form

    Hi All,
    I am facing some error with Drop -down UI elements in my HCM PF Form. I have some 2-3 DD elements, which are not binded to any backend field, so i am specifying their values in the UI Properties itself.
    I am able to see my drop-down list values when the form first displays initally. On selecting the values from drop down, when i click on 'Check and Send' button, the form refreshes itself, and all the drop down values dissappear, along with the selected value.
    Can anyone tell me if i am missing anything here ? Do i need to define my DropDOwn field in the Generic Service of HCM PF and then Bind it in the form ?
    Any inputs on this would be welcome !
    Thanks in advance,
    Aditi

    Hi Christopher,
    Am also having the same issue like when am testing the process and clicking on check button, my do_operation method is called and the table SERVICE_DATASETS is getting updated. I am getting success message and all the fields are getting cleared. But when am clicking on second time the CHECK button am getting error's, because of the fields getting cleared in the screen.
    But after executing the process all the fields getting refreshed. Even what ever values I have entered that too is getting cleared. I have debugged and not able to figure it out why its getting cleared.
    I have activated the ISR context mapping and activated the Adobe Form too. I dont know where am going wrong.
    I will be doing the context mapping for ISR via IMG path by clicking the "Compare Form Fields button" also using Tcode HRASR_DT also i have tried.But the form is consistent.
    Do we have any note or patches regarding this issue.
    Please help me out form this as i could not process further in my development.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raja

  • Create fillable form with changing source document

    I want to create a fillable, saveable form in which the source document changes.  Hope I am using the correct verbiage.  Source document meaning the Word document that I convert to a .pdf, which I then use to create the fillable form.  This source document has client/description information that consistently changes.  Is there any way to easily create the fillable form, without having to insert/size/change the text boxes each time (iow, create a whole new form each time)?  I am using Acrobat X.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    If you can have a copy of the original form, create a PDF of the changed form and create a new PDF with a name different that the original form. This will be content layer of the document and not have the form field layer or form fields. You can then open the original PDF form and use the "Document => Replace pages..." to replace the underlying content of the original form while retaining the form field layer. You can now save the revised form. You may need to relocate form form fields due to changes in the form.

  • Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now ?

    Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now that they do not have the spry option?

    bbull2005 wrote:
    Preran, why wouldn't Dreamweaver include it's own menu/navigation bar widget?
    I can't answer on Preran's or Adobe's behalf, but I think you'll find at least part of the answer here: http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/38666403/Menubar
    Adobe decided to discontinue development of Spry in August last year, and Dreamweaver CC made the switch to using jQuery UI widgets and effects. One reason for dropping Spry was that it failed to work correctly in some browsers. Judging from the fact that the jQuery UI menubar is now "on ice", creating a flyout menu that works reliably across all devices is proving more difficult than originally envisaged.
    Because all other widgets in Dreamweaver CC use jQuery UI, it's a reasonable assumption that Adobe hoped the jQuery UI menubar would be ready in time, but it wasn't.

  • Fillable forms with radio buttons (Using Adobe Reader X)

    I have two questions: First question, I have a fillable form with "yes" and "no" radio buttons. Currently the radio defaults to answer "yes", but I would like both the "yes" and "no" fields to be empty, which would allow the user to select an answer on his or her own.  Second question, is there a way to make an answer required before moving on to the next question?
    (Using Adobe Reader X)
    Message was edited by: mp2athome

    You need to check and make sure that the options  for each radio button do not have the "Button is checked by default" selected.
    You can make all the following answer radio buttons "read only" and only after one of the choices for the preceding question has been answered are the radio buttons for the next question are write enabled.
    You will need Acrobat to create the form.
