I Created a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X. Adobe Reader cannont print or save it?

I work for a foodservice company with different locations. Each location has Adobe Reader. I created a pdf form for each site to fill out, save and print for postings ect... They keep getting a printing error. "The document could not be printed" after that it says "No pages selected to print". They also are not allowed to save the file??? I want them to be able to print and save copies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not see a "Enable protected mode at startup" anywhere...
You need to disable that preference in the individual users versions on Reader, not your version of Acrobat.

and how do you enable the forms to be saved by reader in acrobat?
To enable forms in Acrobat XI go to File>Save as other>Reader Extended PDF...

Also where can users upgrade to Reader Xl?
Users can get the newest Reader at Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically. Can some one out there help me?

Update automatically under which circumstances, exactly?

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

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?

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

Excel to .pdf/ Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Forms - whatever may work best and easiest

If we can, how, create excel formulas in either pdf or adobe acrobat or adobe forms. Something that will work in same way as it would in excel.

Thank you for your advices.
I already download Acrobat SDK before, but it's really complicated for someone who know only VBA at intermediate level.
I really plan to learn javascripts and COM in future, but I was thinking that if I ask you for I guess easy think (opening files and saving them to pdf) you will help by giving similar code or some clues.
Anyway I found this two methods in documentation: PDDoc.Save and PDDoc.Open and I believe that a combination of them can finally help me. Do you know how I can connect them to one part?

Creating editable PDF forms in Acrobat

I need to create digital PDF forms, a document with fields that can be filled in by anyone using the free Acrobat Reader.
I'm currently using Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.13) for Mac, but it will not allow me to do that, or perhaps I can't work it out. Here's a link to the tutorial I followed: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-editable-form-fields
I'm willing to upgrade, if a more recent version of Acrobat will allow me to do that.
Please help!
Many thanks, Mary

Whatever issues you have, have nothing to do with your version of Acrobat. Beyond that your info is simply too vague. just saying that it doesn't work is never a good way to ask for help. Either way, ask in the Acrobat forum.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

How do I enable a LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

I have an interactive PDF form that I created in LiveCycle. However, when it is opened with Adobe Reader, the user is unable to save it. They can only print from Reader. How do I enable the LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

You have to add save rights with Acrobat.
Open you form in Acrobat and then save it via File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.

Creating a PDF form from a docx or xlsx

Hello,
Pulling my hair out over here... Can you help me out?
I am trying to create a PDF form from either a word or an excel file.
When I choose File > Create > PDF Form, I get the dialouge box asking to use either a file or scan from paper. Choosing file, then hitting next shows the choice of current document or browse for file. I browse for file, find my docx file, but it shaded out. Docx or xlsx does not appear in the "show" drop down below, which suggests that this function doesn't support these formats. HUH?
I have read & watched the tutorials linked below, both of which clearly say Word and Excel are supported.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSB3F26303-0F1D-494a-BC55-7BF7F6684B4D.html
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-x/getting-started-creating-simple-forms/
Then I noticed a difference in the create window from the video, to my version...
The video says "(PDF, Word, Excel or other file format)":
My pop-up says ONLY PDF:
Whats going on?
I am using:
MAC OSX 10.7.4
Office 2011 MAC
Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3
Only way I can create a Form from Word files is to first print it to PDF, then use the form wizard on the PDF file... Which seems to have POOR results in auto-recognizing fields.
PLEASE HELP Adobe!
Thanks.

I just got Acrobat X for my mac, for a class. I am SO frustrated. Almost everything in the class focuses on PDFMaker options. The 'save as adobe pdf' or save as pdf options have zero functionality. So I now own PDF software that doesn't really function on a MAC, and have to go to a windows machine. I keep reading that it is a Microsoft problem, but I don't know how that can be when the software I thought I bought is this fancy PDF software that converts everything!!
I asked a tech today if there were 'any' adobe work-arounds for this and basically the answer is to save PDF with no attribute functionality. Period.
Wasted $$ for me

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Has anyone found an app for creating fillable pdf forms on an ipad?

I have found many apps that allow me to fill in already created fillable pdf forms on an ipad, but I'm wondering if there are any apps that allow the creation of PDF forms on an ipad? (similar to adobe professional...?). Thanks for your time!

PDFpen pro can be used on the Mac to generate fillable forms. It is much less expensive than Acrobat.
For IOS, I would check out
PDF Expert by Readdle
DocuSign Ink
I know the allow you to sign your name on PDF forms.
I would think they can extend that to fillable forms.

How do I create a Pdf form for others?

I have finally figured out how to make a pdf form, but my client wants to be able to attach the file to his e-mail and send it to his relations.
How do I create a pdf form with his adress in stead of my own e-mailaccount?
Tried to adjust my id in the preferences on my Mac, but that is not a safe way I guess...
Can anybody help me out, I'm stuck...
Bob

Yes, I want to enable the client's relations to be able to click on a link
in the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his e-mail address.
Now a purple bar shows up when a 'relation' opens the pdf form.
In this bar is a button included for sending the form, but they have to
confirm the adding of their reaction to the 'reactions-file'. This refers to
the location where I authenticallly saved the file (on my hard disk).
I can adjust the reply e-mail adress by temporarily adjusting my id in
Acrobat preferences, but I don't know the future location of the reaction
file.
It's a difficult question, but it's based on the question: Is it possible to
make a pdf form for somebody else; so they can send en receive the reactions
on their moment and their wanted location?

hi bob
are you saying the email address is on the pdf as plain text? or are you
wanting to enable the client's ³relations² to be able to click on a link in
the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his email address?
