Information is missing when I save responses as PDF forms

When I save a response as PDF, I only get 3 pages from the filled in response. While it should be 9 pages. One of the tables doe not continue on the next page. How can download the response exactly in the format form the design? Now I'm missing to much information.

Hi Emma;
I am pretty sure that what you need to do for all of the content to fit properly in PDF is to use the "Page View" setting/mode on the Design tab (default view is "Web View" for web forms) and edit the content in that view to "fit". The "Page View" view mode is to design/tweak the form to work in PDF, the changes made in "Web View" are still there including all features not supported in a PDF, but any Page Breaks added in either view are unique to that view, if you add a Page Break in Web View you will not see that in the PDF or Page View, if you add a Page Break in Page View it is only used in the PDF.
If you were to have used the "Save Submission Enabled PDF" button on the Distribute tab you would have seen an error that the content does not fit and it would have taken you into "Page View" on the Design tab where it would show you the content that would be cropped in a PDF. We'll address the issue that this error does not come up when saving the response as a PDF form.
The view drop down selector is in the bottom right corner in the Design tab:
There are a few things you can do in Page View to get the content to work in PDF but not change the HTML/web form too much. You can of course add page breaks, and you can break up large form fields, but you can also simply change the font size to get things to fit sometimes, or go into "File" - "Form Setup" and change the page size which will only affect the PDF and not the web form, a larger page will fit more content.
Hopefully this helps but let me know if this was not the solution to your form.
Thanks,
Josh

Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

Save response as PDF, excluding the hidden fields

I have recently created a new form, which contains a number of fields which are only shown dependent on rules.
This all works as it should from the users POV, however, when saving the response as PDF, the document contains ALL the fields which are on the original form design.
Is there any way of saving the form as PDF, but excluding the fields that the user didn't even know were there? A properly completed form should cover at most 2 pages, however, because of the additional fields, each one is coming back as 8-9 pages long.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carl

Printer is asking for PDF but when I save psd to PDF the dimensions change

I am trying to save psd files to pdf for a printer. He wants them 3.75 x 2.25 inches. I am creating the psd files in CMYK color as he needs. The dimensions are 3.75 X 2.25 inches but when I save the Photoshop PDF it is much smaller 270 X 262. I don't want to send it to him incorrectly. Any advice for me?
Thanks in advance.

You still didn’t say what the units for those numbers were.
Anyway: pdf is currently the standard for print, and even having to open psd would be time the printers want to save, I guess, or want to get paid for.
Moreover many (or most) print-shops have automatic preflighting-, reseparation- and montage-systems that are based on that format.
If You got a window like this:
you did not open the pdf, but imported it, meaning a complete re-interpretation took place – so even if the pdf may have been at 72ppi it would be up-scaled to the selected values.

Using Adobe to fill in. I think it may be my browser for e-mail will not support the forms. If I convert to Word or Exel, they send just fine.

Temporary file appear when I save Al or pdf files (illlustrator CS, CS2 on Windows XP)

HELP! Does anyone know why? When I save Al files from adobe illustrator on windows XP, temporary files are created in the same directorys as the saved file. Temp files has data within the file, but the saved file has no data 0kb. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? thanks so much!

I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?

Unable to Save Responses As PDF

We have several users that have access to view responses to our Adobe formcentral forms, lately we are having issues with saving the responses as a PDF. We are accessing formcentral via IE (we have tried alternative browsers and doesn't seem to matter), and it happens to different users at different times during the day.
When we are in the respective account and try to download the response as a PDF (doesn't matter whether we use the arrow to the right of the row, or the save as PDF feature at the top) sometimes the sytem gets stuck on the spinning clock. Is this a formcentral server tie up or is it on our end? Anyone else experience this? Do we need to clean out old responses?
It seems to work sporadically, we are now stuck with using the "view details" feature to see our form responses and print them out that way but we would like to be able to use the download as PDF feature like we used to do. This issue has been going on for about a month on and off and seems to be worse now. We have tried to contact someone through the Formcentral support (No.: 0185350898) and they gave us a "FIXITWIN" file that did not resolve the proplem. We have one user that tried to download the desktop formcentral client to see if it would work through that method instead of through the browser and that did not make any difference. We have had our IT support check this issue out at one station and he's unable to determine what could be the problem and seems to think it's on formcentral's end.
Please help.

Yes I've tried to download them via the method you indicated and also by using the save as PDF feature button, once we get stuck with the spinning clock, we have to completely close out of formcentral and log back in to attempt the whole proces again. Unfortunately it is not linked to a specific form, we have several forms, all which were once working properly and now are encountering this issue. Again, this incident is not tied to any particular form, it sometimes works and sometimes it gets stuck, and I can't seem to pinpoint any pattern to a specific time of day (we thought maybe it was a many users accessing the forms at the same time).
This morning I attempted to download responses from several forms and was successful, however, when I had another user try they were unsuccessful. I just attempted it on one of my forms and no luck. Is there a capacity limit? We have some forms with over 300 responses.

Acrobat XI hangs when adding a response from distributed form, when specific form field is filled

As the question says, when using the distribute form functionality of Acrobat, it hangs at the step of importing or adding a filled form, when a specific field on the form is filled. It happens whether the tracker automatically detects it when I open the distributed form and asks me to add it, or I manually try to add it in the responses form. Here's the screenshot of when I tried manually adding it. The first line is the one that hangs and is missing all fields except that "Approved" check box. But it's the last field "ApprovedDate" that makes it hangs if it's filled in the form. The Progress dialog just stays there forever and I can't click cancel. When it tries to add it automatically, nothing appears on the screen, the form just stays open and the tracker doesn't come up. I'm on Windows 7, Acrobat XI Pro. I can send you the form if needed.
Edit: I investigated further and there were Java scripts associated with that date field. These would have been added while creating the form in Acrobat; I don't remember how exactly, but I only meant to validate the date format. I've removed all the scripts and reset the desired date format on the field and it seems to work now.

I use Mavericks and Acrobat XI. I haven't had any issues so far.

Log in required dialog box when we Save as Adobe pdf from MS Word 2010. And error from PDFMaker

We have started to get this error when we "Save AS Pdf" from for instance Microsoft Office Word and Excel 2010. Adobe Acrobat is Customized with the Customization tool to provide licence and activation and distributed with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012. The deployment has been working fine until recently when I started getting questions about this from our users. I looked into this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-pdf-creation-cannot-continue.html but it seems outdated so I can not follow.

It sounds like you have a bunch of 64-bit machines and did not do the update (11.0.0). The updates are needed for both 64-bit systems and for Office 2010 as I recall. I know that Office 2013 definitely requires the update. Glad it worked for you, but now you have to figure out how to update all the machines.

Acrobat X hangs when using "Save as compressed pdf" function

I have several users who, when working remotely over VPN, have Acrobat X hang when trying to use the "Save as compressed PDF" to save to either a network drive or to their local machine. The system works fine while in the office however. All other programs and save functionality is fine while connected to the VPN, and I am able to save files directly to the network share or local machine outside of Acrobat. I have removed and reinstalled Acrobat and the program will complete a save normally the first time it's used after the reinstalltion, but will then start failing and hanging again after that. I believe I am at v10.0.7.
Any and all insight will be greatly appreciated!

Hey Lori –
Yes, that’s the option! Sorry don’t have a copy of the software on my own PC to verify against.
