"I received a PDF File via email,I can fill out the text box but I cannot save the file."

I sent a PDF file to someone via email, they were able to fill out the form but they cannot save the file to send back, I have checked the security properties and there were no restrictions. Do I need to save the PDF a specific way? I have sent it to others that have Acrobat Pro and are able to save but those without Acrobat are unable to save. Please advise!
Thank you!

Hi MSMistry1,
Users with Adobe Reader 8 and later will be able to save form data if you save the form as a Reader Extended PDF with Enable Additional Features selected. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w .html

I created a form for our band parents to fill out. How are they able to save the forms as pdfs?

I created a form for our band parents to fill out. How are they able to save the forms as pdfs and be able to go back and view them? I see the Save Submission-Enabled PDF on the Distribution page but there is no option when they go in to the first page of the form to save.
Thank you very much for your help.

If you are distributing a PDF using the save submission enabled pdf option, then respondents can save it using the Adobe Reader. They save it just like any other file - File menu -> save (or save icon on toolbar).

So whenever I try to download the newest itunes file it won't let me finish the install process because I'm missing the "Itunes.msi" file whatever that is and I've done some searches but I cannot find the file. Anyone know what to do?

Adobe Acrobat trial version installation suggeded somehow, but I cannot save a file I have changed from Word to PDF.

The installation of Acrobat trial version for 30 days seemed to succeed but after making a pdf file I could not save it into my own libraries on my computer. In the first case the system told that the trial time is over! How come? I had just installed it. Then I tried again, but now the system is requiring a "serial number". Then it said that I can find it there and there. I tried to log in there but it did not accept my password which I had just used. Ok. I changed the password and it was accepted by Adobe. But I never got any serial number anywhere. Then I tried to install Acrobat through another way. I have had Adobe Cloud and Premiere already for years. I tried to load Acrobat through there. I succeeded, but same problem again: "The trial time is 00 days". Then I also noticed that my old Adobe Reader has vanished somewhere. I could not open any pdf files I have received and opened before. I tried to re-install the Reader. No success because "the trial time is over" !!! What should I do? Maybe I can try to ask my friends to change the Word files into the pdf-versions but I need my Adobe Reader!

Hi, Ashish,
I do not understnd what means through CC package under exception folder. I
think I went to Google and found this page:
https://www.acrobat.com/en_us/free-trial-download.html . After the
installing, which seemed to be successful, I brought in a Word file and made
the exchange into pdf. It seemed to be ok, but I could not save it anywhere
into my own libraries or maps. The system told me that the trial time is
over (!). Then I went into my Abobe Creative Cloud because I have already
Premier Pro and Premeir Pro CC. Through the list overt there I tried to do
the installation again. I do not remember anymore what I got in the first
place, maybe it was the same Your trial time has 00 days or something like
that. Then I was asked to get the serial number I clicked the button but
the reply was the same Your trial time has 00 days, or maybe there was
some other demands before that. Impossible to remember anymore.
Then I also noticed that I dont have Adobe Reader anymore; I could not read
any pdf files I had before. Everytime jumps up the message Your trial time
has 00 days.

How to save PDF with fields so someone can fill out form and send it to printer

Using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac, I built a pdf template with fields for
sending an assortment of Business Card files to the printer to print.
How do I save the file so my brother/client can start typing in different
names, job titles, and contact info and send them to a printer.
Thanks,
jsorlean

Create your form.
go to advanced menu
choose the item about Reader Rights
when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.
(Please note information is given by an Experienced User of Acrobat. I am not an employee of Adobe.)

Adobe Acrobat form created and emailed but recipient cannot save the form in reader after filling it out

When I purchased Acrobat today, the Adobe sales rep told me I could create fill-in forms that I could email to others, who could fill them out using Adobe Reader. When the recipient tried to save the completed form, he was unable to save it to his computer, only able to print. Is this correct, or is there a step we are unaware of? He owns Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but I'm using Acrobat 11 (purchased it today). Acrobat Pro 9 cannot open the forms I sent... now we are stuck.
Solutions?

Hi DMOliver,
Please try saving the form as 'Reader Extended' and check.

My photoshop used to be registered (serial number) to a previous business name, now I have moved and am starting back from the ground up but I cannot reregister the number nor can I transfer it to my new account on adobe. My prior email address is no long

Please help!

You might still be able to sign into the Adobe account using the old email. Then you could change the old account to your current email.. For details on transferring a serial number from one party to another, follow this link: Transfer an Adobe product license

I set up a exchange email in my iPod. All went well, it showed the account set, but it cannot get the mail. Any ideas?

My email app cannot load content in Microsoft Exchange. The account shows set up properly, but it keeps trying to load. It can be accessed in Safari no issue. Any ideas?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Text boxes are not interactive until the PDf is downloaded

So, what I am trying to do is send PDF files to clients and have them type there name in a text box, but when I send the email and they view the PDF file the text box is non interactive, the text box only becomes interactive after they download the PDF file. I would like them to be able to sign it without downloading it, Thanks.

What software does the client use to view the PDF file?

Send spool list ceated by Job (SM36) as pdf-file via email

We are running the report RM06EFLB (Transaktion ME84 - "Create Releases") in the background.
The Job is creating a spool list with 17 pages.
I want to send this 17 pages (in a readable form) to a number of persons.
This did I try so far:
- Distribution list with Recipient type "via Internet" as Spool list recipients in the Job. (Tried different formats for ABAP List in Transaction SCOT)
=> Email is send to recipients, attachment is readable depending on format.
     Problem: attachment is not complete, it contains only about 15 pages (985 rows).
- Distribution list with Recipient type "Internal User - SAP-Office" as Spool list recipients in the Job.
=> Document is sent to Business Workplace
     Problem: attachment is not complete, it contains only about 15 pages
Any ideas how to get the complete spool list?
Is there mayby a report around that is sending a spool list as pdf-file via email to a number of recipients?
(Would like to maintain this Report as an additional step in the job. The spool-number should be selected from the previous step.)
Thank you for your help.
Jens

Oh sorry - here is the coding which is used in that program:
First use function module 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' to convert the spool entry into pdf.
Loop at output table PDF and concatenate all lines into a string. Convert string to xstring.
Then call mail class:
DATA: lv_pdf_x TYPE xstring,
        lv_subject TYPE string,
        lv_doc_desc TYPE so_obj_des,
        lv_mail_body TYPE soli_tab.
DATA: ls_atta TYPE rcf_s_att4mail_hex,
        lt_atta TYPE rcf_t_att4mail_hex.
* -- Fill parameter
lv_subject = 'Requested Report'."#EC NOTEXT
lv_doc_desc = 'Report XXL'."#EC NOTEXT
* lv_mail_body = ?
ls_atta-name = lv_doc_desc.
ls_atta-extension = 'PDF'.
ls_atta-content = p_pdf_x. <- This is your xstring
APPEND ls_atta TO lt_atta.
TRY.
      CALL METHOD cl_hrrcf_services_mail=>send_web_mail
        EXPORTING
          p_subject              = lv_subject
          p_receiver             = p_receiver->email_address
          pt_atta_hex            = lt_atta
          p_sender               = p_sender->email_address
          p_body_c               = lv_mail_body.
    CATCH cx_hrrcf.
ENDTRY.
I hope that you have the above mentioned class in your system but it should work with other email functions as well.
Regards
Nicola

Corrupt PDF and other files via eMail?

Hi Everyone
Having strange going on with the printers of late.
I've used the exact same PDF settings for about 7 years and never have an issue.
I sent a PDF to the printers last week and the printed product had our logo printed incorrectly on it (there wasn't any time for a colour proof).
What happened was that the logo is built in CMYK, but the logo only printed 100% black areas of the logo - basically the backing of the logo is in black and that's all that printed.
The printers couldn't explain it and it's the same logo that's been used with other printers around that time and since then.
All is fine with the logo.
Today I sent a cover to the printers and there's an advert on the right hand side of the document that has corrupted. I opened the PDF I sent and all is fine.
The printer emailed me back what I sent to him and that seems to be corrupt - I can't explain it.
What I have done is sent him a link to download the file from my Dropbox - which bypasses the file hitting the email altogether.
When they got the file it was perfectly fine and printed just fine.
As a test I sent the file several friends of mine who all opened it on various machines, and printed it successfully on various devices.
The only common denominator here is that when I send the printer the file via Email it gets corrupted (nobody else I sent it to experienced any corruption).
What exactly can an email system/firewall/anti-virus or other variable possibly affect a PDF?
As a sidenote: I packaged the InDesign file and zipped it and sent that too - and that too got corrupted and the printers could not open it.

Email notoriously damages PDF files, so I'd recommend using a Dropbox or similar approach as standard.
The causes of corruption can be very hard to track down and can include subtle incompatibilities between email programs, size limits, failure of email programs to treat PDFs as binary, and automatic processing of email, such as corporate signatures or antispam.

I have a large PDF that I cannot send via email because of its size, 76 MB. How do I shrink this file or convert it to another format so I can email this, less than 20MB? Thanks for your help

Open the file in Preview and select "Save as..." from the File menu. Select "Reduce File Size" from the Quartz Filter menu and save. The size probably won't be reduced enough, though. You may have to split the file into several parts and mail them separately. Or upload it to a web server and send the link.

I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

Can you open the files in Preview?

Sending .fdf file via email + exiting full screen mode

Hi everyone,
I have the following code attached to a button on a pdf form that sends the form data in a .fdf file via email:
var f = this.getField("useraddress");
this.mailForm(true, f.value, "", "", "RSVP");
Apparently the following line gets the user address from a field:
var f = this.getField("useraddress");
I created a field called "useraddress" and set it to be hidden but I don't know how to have my email address continually popuate this field so that it can be used in the above code to automatically send the .fdf file to my address.
Would someone be able to tell me how I'd do this?
Also just one other question if that's okay?
The pdf is set to open up in full screen mode automatically. I want to add a button that will take the viewer out of full screen mode but I'm not sure what the code would be to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this also?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah I probably should - I'm not that familiar with javascript so I didn't know I could. Have worked out the correct way now so thanks.
I also noticed that when the .fdf file is attached, Acrobat names the file with a generic file name, eg. ACR5037112.fdf - is there a way to automatically name the file with the contents of one of the fields in the form?
Also, do you have an idea of what the code would be to exit out of fullscreen mode when a button is clicked?

Please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

Hi kevinv1987,
It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
