The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

On my iPad, my outgoing email regularly replies that the email was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. WHat does that mean and how do I make the email go anyway?

Try this.
Check your username and password in the outgoing mail server setting. Fill it in even of it says that it's optional.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>choose the email account>account name, tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email username and password and see if that works for you.

FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
(And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

tamarsaw, Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
Open Tabs
The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
History
This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)
The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

Attaching a filled out form

Hello
How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Keith.

You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
- Open the Form in Designer
- Add a button object to the form
- Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
- Change the Control type of the button to Submit
- Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
- update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
*Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.

Save a filled-out form to Word - saved as blank

I purchased ExportPDF so that I could save a filled-out form to Word. I needed to do this because, though the form has fields that allow seemingly infinite text to be inserted, the text is not visible when printed. The document must be submitted by US Mail. When I converted the completed document to Word, it erased ALL of the text I added and unchecked all boxes. If this is all it can do, I need to unsubscribe and get a refund. That is totally worthless to me.

Hi,
Did you try with different file? If so, are the results the same?
Would you send your document as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.
I have sent you my contact details on your email id.

You will not lose everything on you phone if you backup prior to updating. You can do it maunaully (simply by syncing your phone with itunes) but when you update iTunes will prompt you do back up your phone anyways. After you've updated you can reload everything on to your phone with the itunes back up.

If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.

Hi,
you can find documentation for Designer under this website
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/documentation.html#task=4,5&module=2
In Designer you can use the JavaScript API of Acrobat.
So the Devnet for Acrobat is also a good source.

Blinking I beam, but still cant fill out form

I have reader 9. I need to fill out forms.So far I have had two that I have tried, both fillable with allowed access. I have a blinking I beam, but when I hit the keys, I get nothing, the curser just blinks at me in that ha, ha kind of way. Please help me figure this out, it has to be something simple I'm missing. Note:My comp was recently restored, and my PC guys put reader 9 on it for me. Not much else on my comp right now to interfere with it. Let me know. Thanks!

They probably are not fillable.
Choose the hand tool. When you mouse over the fields does it turn in to an i-beam? If not then no, they aren't fillable.

How do you know this? If you are simply looking at what is allowed in Fiule>Properties>Security, all that is saying that IF it were a fillable form, you would be allowed to fill it out.

Filling out form in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow...

All of a sudden trying to fill out a shipping doc in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow. Each letter typed ends up with athe spinning beach ball for 5 or 6 seconds. Safari version Version 6.1 (8537.71). Never had an Safari issue before with this site and Firefox works fine. (Ended up using FF to get the shipment done)
Any ideas what is going on?

Same here, I create many, many Fedex labels on a daily basis for work. In Mountin Lion things were working excellent, just upgraded to Mavericks and Fedex is unusable. Firefox (even in its latest version 25) works perfect with Fedex and on Mavericks too. This is definitely a problem caused by Mavericks and has nothing to do with FedEx. I think it is related to how security for JavaScript has been changed, or how Sandboxing in tabs and JavaScript relate to each other in the new version of Safari. No updates to the latest Java will fix it, because the fields on the FedEx form are populated through JavsScript coding and in this case Java is not being invoked at all. Thats why you may have different versions of Java installed, or not even have it installed, yet in Safari 7.0 those forms from FedEx and evidently form some other sites will beachball. So the only solution currently is to use another browser, which is really a lame solution. If Apple wants to make us use Safari more often, step up to the plate and show an improvement in the browser, not regressions. Mind you this is a huge regression! I have been creating labels in Fedex for some 7-8 years now and there has never been an update to Safari that would cause such a disaster. And by the way, I use Webkit nightlies. Granted the developers there tend to break things, but are very responsive and provide a fix usually within day or two. Those are the same guys that develop the new versions of Safari core and rendering, so I'm curious as to who would be voicing support here in the discussion. One thing is clear, even todays nightly of Webkit is also beachballing, so the problem is not directly related to Webkit.

Creating Auto Fill Prefix for filling out forms

I am trying to find a program or a setting in Safari that lets me save different profiles for filling out forms on different websites. I am a realtor who does several reports a week, and it would be nice for auto fill to fill out the form completely and then I can just go back and make a few changes. Is there a way to do this, and can I set up different templates so I can switch the autofill depending on the site / property?

HI,
From your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure *Other forms* is selected. Once you've filled out data one any site, Safari should "remember" and autofill for you.
Other than that, you could try the Safari Extensions Gallery here.
