I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

How can I distribute a form with text boxes so that the recipients are able to type into the boxes?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

    May be that the text fields are read-only.

  • 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'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.

    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.

    Perhaps the fields aren't fillable -- are you seeing a purple message bar across the top asking you fill out the form? Here is a quick video that explains the messages you should be seeing in your form -  Quick Tip: How to enter form data using Adobe Reader.

  • What is the best way to create a read more/collapse text box on the homepage of a site?

    What is the best way to create a read more/collapse text box on the homepage of a site?

    I figured this out by using a lightbox. I set the trigger at the top of the box, hid all initially and added a close button. In the box that would have linked to the first thumbnail for the lightbox, I added a text box that said "read more"

    Thank Silkrooster for your prompt answer. I just figured out my trouble was caused by the font size was 12pt while the photo resolution was large 20M pixels. By changing the font size to 200 I was able to see all the text. Thanks again!

  • HT3819 I have turned Home Sharing on on two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer.  What does this mean?  What do I do?  THANKS!

    I have turned Home Sharing on for two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer.  What does this mean?  What do I do?  I am trying to get music from one library into another library to sync with my ipod so that I can have all songs on the ipod from both libraries. 
    Thank you for your help!

    If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar. 
    If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

  • PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

    I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
    Should I post this in the PDF forums?

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance

  • Sync nano with Address Book but the categories are gone!!??

    I have more than 200 contacts in my Address Book, but when I finished syncing it with my ipod nano, the categories are missing. I have to search the entire list to get to a contact I want. Can anyone tell me if that is normal?? Is there anything I can do about it?

    Yes, it's normal. The iPod address book does not support sorting by categories.

  • Fill in pdf form with text

    recieved a pdf form and need to fill in the lines with text
    using acrobat pro9 mac

    Is it a fill in form (if so, then you should get an i-bar as you move over the fields)? Are you filling it out in Acrobat or the MAC preview? The latter has problems with PDF forms and should not generally be used for this need.
    If there are no form fields (not fillable), then you will either have to add form fields yourself (maybe the MAC version has the recognize fields feature of the PC version -- assuming the form is actually text and not just a picture). The other option is to use the Typewriter tool.

  • Can I create a PDF form with a field for adding/changing Photos?

    Does anyone have a solution to the following problem?
    I would like to be able to make a PDF form that others in the office can use to fill in a particular inventory and model number.  (Fields, Easy)
    Then have a field where they can replace the PHOTO of the item referred to by the inventory and model number.
    Is this possible using Acrobat professional? Can the document then be saved as, or exported somehow from there?
    I know this is probabably easy to do in Word, but can a photo be changed on a PDF and saved as?
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    It will make it possible for them to select a new photo. Will you ever want to extract the photo from the form to be used elsewhere?
    In order to set this up in Acrobat, you can create a button to display the image, set its layout to something other than "Label only", and add the following JavaScript to the Mouse Up action:
    // Prompt user to select an image
    event.target.buttonImportIcon();
    For the PC users, Acrobat Standard is sufficient for this.
