I disabled autocomplete but it continues to fill out my forms.

I have done everything to keep autocomplete from filling out my forms...it continues to do so. I have gone to privacy settings, reset firefox and nothing seems to work. There are pages that I am forwarding to others that have my private information and would like to continue to do so but nothing is working! Help!!!!!

Hi,
You can [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/update/ update Firefox] and deselect '''Remember search and form history''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Privacy'''. You can then '''Clear Now''' the '''Form and Search History''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History].
[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Firefox latest]
If problems persist, you can reset Firefox and start afresh with the above setting.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

HT2736 I'm trying to send a tune as a gift but, every time I fill out the info, and press "continue", I get a message that my session has "timed out".

I'm trying to send a tune as a gift but, every time I fill out the info, and press "continue", I get a message that my session has "timed out". I didn't take me over a minute to fill out the form. How fast does one have to be!?

Well, first, why are you running such ancient versions of Firefox as 3.6? i would immediately update to Firefox 15.0.1 as Firefox 3.6.28 is no longer supported and is critically insecure.
As for the dreamweaver thing, I'm not sure this is a Firefox issue, so I'd check again after updating Firefox.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

My autofill stopped working recently. I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked. When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
Edit ▹ AutoFill Form
from the menu bar. You may have to reload the page in order to do this.
4. Select
Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
and uncheck the box marked
Enable private me card
if it's checked.
5. Select your card in Contacts. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.
6. In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Contacts card
If the box was already checked, uncheck it and then check it again.
7. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select

Filling out enabled forms in Reader 10 vs Reader 11

Reader 10 requires you to "sign" in order to save the form but Reader 11 does not.
The message (in purple banner) in 10 is:
Click 'sign' to fill out and sign the form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'
The message in Reader 11 is
Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form.
I have both versions so I saved in v10 after "signing" which not a requirement of the form I built.
Reopening in 10 does not allow me to enter any more data . Message in purple banner is gone.
This is a problem as the form is 14 pages long and most folks do not have all their answers together at one sitting.
Reader 11 allows me to partially complete, save, close, reopen and continue filling out the form.
Is this really the way these versions work?

Why do you start a new topic with the same issue as http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1128302 ?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

Filling out a form scanned to PDF

Is this Possible? I would like to be able to fill out this form that I scanned to pdf...while it is still in the computer, then print it out completed so I can mail it off. I just can not seem to figure this out, please help!

This isn't a question about PDF Specifications; this really seems to
be about software.
If you have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, the answer is
yes. Please ask in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat Macintosh forum.
if you have Adobe Reader only the answer is no.... but you also have
some software to scan to PDF, so see if that has a forum.

Filling out a form demo

What is the best way in Adobe Captivate to demonstrate filling out a form with Narration? I have several pdf forms that are interactive and I want to be able to narrate as I record live action movements. I used the software simulation setting and it ended up looking choppy and confusing. I'm in the process of a trial download of Captivate and I'd like to have this some what figured out before I decide to purchase it. I bought a subscription to Lynda.com to try and understand a little more but it wasn't too much help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi there
Typically those are done by narrating at the same time as you use the software. (I recently created some of these for a different company. A Lynda competitor)
As you might imagine, it's often like filming a motion picture and you end up with many "takes" to get just the right one.
Cheers... Rick

In filling out a form with a list of names, is there a way to sort it, such as an alpha sort?

Is there a way to sort names in adobe? Such as when filling out a form?
Or should I just give up and do the industry standard and use excel?

Reader cannot do what you want. Yes you can use Excel, Numbers, and a dozen other spreadsheets. Or you can use database software (I tend to use FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go, but there are many other choices), you can also use Form software (which again is just a simple database).

Need help filling out pdf forms on iPad

Adobe Reader (11.0.1) on my iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3) is not letting me fill out a form (just a bunch of text fields) that was created with Acrobat 8 Pro/LiveCycle. The form can be filled out fine with Reader 11.x on my WinXP desktop though. Any ideas?

No, you'll be just the same.
You need to not use LiveCycle Designer, but make the form in Adobe Acrobat. Everything you know about making forms in LiveCycle Designer will not help you at all.
These are a different kind of form, made differently, and with different features (e.g. they are always static in layout).
Also, you start with an existing PDF (not a form) for all the background and fixed text, then just add fields.
There are other things to do like avoid JavaScript. Start with very simple forms and test features, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list.

Problems with filling out PDF forms

We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

Filling out online forms with java

I wanted to create a program that will fill out a form on a website by running a java program. COuld anyone tell me what i would use to make the program fill in i guess a text feild and then select a radio button and submitting the results? I tried looking through books and online but i dont even know what im looking for really.

Maybe look for browser plugin programming. Otherwise, I don't know how a Java application (as opposed to an Applet) could ever access an HTML page in a browser window.
At least not without going native. On Win machines, you might use something like the Java-Com bridge to access the IE's API... if it provides one and its methods help you to do what you intend.

Need to fill out PDF forms

Does anyone have a good app for filling out PDF forms? I used Acrobat Pro in Windows, but then my employer supplied it for me. I'm not going to pay $300 to fill out PDF forms. I tried it in Preview, as people say that works, but I can't get it to work. The forms I have to fill out that are supplied by my employer won't accept editing in Preview. They work fine in Acrobat Pro in Windows. I also tried formulate.pro, but I couldn't save the form back to PDF, only to a propietary format. Not useful for sharing these forms with colleagues. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

I know about that. Unfortunately, the form can no longer be modified once you do that. (According to others who have tried it.) I know it's a pretty nit-picky list of requirements I have, but I work in a very Windows-centric, Mac-hostile workplace (even though a sizeable minority of people here use Macs). I've been using a Mac since 2004, and it's been a battle to solve one problem after another: web pages that only render "properly" in IE, web applications that only work "properly" in IE, a voice messaging system that is Mac-hostile, and most recently this business with the forms. My solution has usually been "if it doesn't work in Firefox or Safari, then it doesn't work." Unfortunately, I don't have that option with these forms. More and more of what I have to do must be done either online or at least digitally, and yet we are generating more paper than ever! And no one who is responsible for creating/purchasing the apps to do all these things seems even to know about the existence of any OS other than Windows. Sorry about the rant, but that is the world at Coastal Carolina University!

Filling out online forms

Not sure what category this falls in, but it's an exasperating problem! When I go online to fill out a form with my name and address, as I type in the zip code, I get a drop-down message instructing me to enter a valid 5-digit zip code. It seems something cuts off the first digit, leaving only four digits. I only have this problem with my own zip code, not with one that I enter for another town. This doesn't happen every time, but 90 percent of the time, and I end up having to forget the whole thing of whatever it is I'm trying to do! Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? I was thinking it could be a glitch in my Safari browser.

Hi Joyce,
"This doesn't happen every time, but 90 percent of the time"
Is it possible that you might be having a problem with the #1 key itself? Could it be possible that it is skipping for some reason? To be clear, you hit the #1 key to enter into the field and it just doesn't appear...correct? What exactly are you seeing in the field when you type all five digits?
As suggested earlier, did you try another browser to see if it was the browser?
Does this problem happen if you type in your zip code on other sites? Can you, for instance, get the zip to fill in the field on the USPS shipping site http://postcalc.usps.gov/ ? Is this just one site that is having this problem?
Try Camino Browser 1.6.1 to test (requires Mac OSX v10.3.9 or higher).
