Issues with forms created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hey Gang,
I need your help to figure out why my interactive form text fields that were created in Acrobat turn black when clicked and don't display text when typed into. The text that is being typed is there, but it is not visible until you select the next text field. Also the solid black bar goes away as well when you select a new text field on the form. By the way it might be important to note that my interactive PDF started as a SWF file before being exported as a PDF. Either way the form fields were created in Acrobat Pro XI. Thanks for any help.

The font is set to Helvetica 12pt. I have been messing around with the form and have noticed that if I click edit form and then click done editing. The form will function properly until I click anywhere other than a text field.

  • Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

    Hello all,
    I am having issues- big ones- please help!
    I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
    This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
    I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
    Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
    I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
    Don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    A.

    I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it.  Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format? 
    For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out.  They fill it out and click a button to email it to me.  When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
    Thank you for your help thus far.  It has been much  more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

  • Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    Good day in2psy,
    As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.

  • Why can't users save data in fillable form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have everything working great.  When I send it to users they can fill in all of the information, but they can not save the data in the form.  I have followed these instructions before I send the form to the users:  (Acrobat Pro) Type in non-fillable forms (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    The form includes text fields, radio buttons, e-signatures (x).
    I have researched for days, spoke to countless "Adobe Chat Room Techs" and still have no idea what I am doing wrong.
    I am so desperate for help.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer & Acrobat X, and saved it.
    However, when I open it up with Adobe Reader XI, I get the following message
    What am I doing wrong?
    This used to be a relatively simple process, and now I'm completely confused with how I enable saving forms that others have filled out.
    If I'm understanding what has been written in this thread previously, this is now normal functionality that doesn't require special settings like it had previously.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with forms created in Adobe 9 not saving in reader X

    We have been using fill in forms I created in Adobe 9 pro and suddenly people were complaining they cannot save the form with their information.  I have discovered that all of those people have acrobat reader X.  I looked for solution and found that original form needs to be saved with "extend features in Adobe reader".  when I did this it seems to have corrected problem.  Does anyone know another way to accomplish without redoing the form? There are many forms and they  have been widely distributed and would be difficult to redistribute. They worked fine with Acrobat reader 9.

    In order for a modified form to be saved with any recent version of Adobe Reader, the document has to Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 9 by selecting "Advanced > Extend Feature in Adobe Reader". So if the forms worked with Reader 9, they must have had the rights applied through this process or by LiveCycle Reader Extensions. It would be interesting to see a form that is fillable/saveable with Reader 9 that doesn't work with Reader 10.

  • Problem with pdf-printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.
    PDF-printing has always worked great but suddenly there is some kind of problem.
    After printing a excel-document from "Print to pdf" built-in function in MacOS OR Adobes Printer I have corruptet pdf-files when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but the MacOS Preview-software shows them correct.
    So, there cannot be any problem with the printing, but the local preview on my computer using Reader or Acrobat. I dont even use the Myriad font in the document, I use Verdana.

    You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
    You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.
    Read about the problem here: http://www.tidbits.com/article/12078

  • Saving a Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    We create forms for the company to use with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, but because others do not have Acrobat 9 Pro they can not save the document after they have filled out the form.  This is causing a big issue for us.  Does anyone know a way that we can create a Form in Acrobat 9 Pro that allows others to fill it out using just the plain version of Adobe (guessing they only have Reader) and then they can save it to their desktop?

    You need to apply the Extended Reader Rights to it from the Advanced menu in
    Acrobat.

  • I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral.  I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck.  All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button.  It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral.  What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website.  Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting.  I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral.  This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

  • Form Created w/Adobe XI Pro

    I created a form with a submit button. It checked OK. When it was distributed I get reports of users w/Adobe Reader 10 after filling in the form and hitting the submit button get the error message "operation not permitted". I can't find the problem. Others have been able to submit with no problems. Any suggestions.

    This question should really be in the Acrobat Pro forum since it has to do with the creation and saving of the document rather than viewing it in Reader, but...
    Did you save it as a PDF or
    as a Reader Extended PDF with Additional Features Enabled?

  • Saving Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (V 9.4.5)

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could help me.
    I have a form that is created in Adobe 9 that is sent out and the form is filled out and then submitted back but the problem is that many of the users who click the "Submit Form" button it does not appear to open an email with the form attached (this works for me and some of the people but it appears that more and more users of the form have the problem).
    I was wondering if it is possible to have the users save the form once it has been filled in so it can be manually emailed as an attachement.
    If so how do I go about amending the form so it can be saved.
    My thanks in advance for your assistance.
    Kindest Regards
    Laig007

    Thank you for your swift response,
    The problem is that the form has to be filled out and then submitted via email, as you mentioned the email clients have trouble, I do not have a problem with the amount of submissions as I do not think I will ever hit the max on the form.
    I have been doing some digging, can I use "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save In Adobe Reader" function on the form so the users can fill out the form and then save it? And if so are you also able to have the "submit Form" function with this or can it only be one or the other?
    Thanks in Advance

  • Upgraded to pro X and having issues with form created in pro 9

    I created a form in LiveCyle using Pro 9, the form was created for an employer who had to buy Pro X so I was upgraded to Pro X.  Here are the issues I am having, This form was the first time I have ever created a form and I have never used Java Script so there is no scripting involved. 
    1) With Pro 9, if I opend the form with adobe instead of LiveCycle I could delete pages.  Now with Pro X I can not however I can delete pages in PDF's that I did not use LiveCycle on.  How do I enable exert, delete, insert, etc....
    2) I was told that with Pro X it was possible to set the form so that when it's emailed back to the employer after being filled out, it could be secure.  I have not been able to figure out how to set that up.  The employer needs to receive the completed PDF as a PDF with the information that was input secure (socials, etc... ).  If I set up an email button the employer receives a list for information and that does not work for them. 
    3) The employer would like to have a few fields that they input in the form then secure them or make them read only so the employee can not modify.  I know how to do it design mode but it prevents them from being able to input the information they want (employee number for example).
    Java Script is totally foreign to me as I am not an IT person I am a novice computer user that is self taught.  If I am going to have to learn this, can anyone suggest a website or book for beginners?
    Thank you for any help you can provide....

    Hi Heather,
    There are a few things going on.
    Firstly, forms that are created in LC Designer are fundementally different to native PDF documents. LC Designer forms are known as XFA Forms and are placed in a PDF wrapper, so that they can be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However a lot of the normally editing options (like deleting pages) that you can perform on a native PDF, you cannot do on an XFA Form.
    You can set up the form to be emailed back and there are a number of options. The example here (http://assure.ly/dYQFb4 and http://assure.ly/hM2A5y) looks at the standard Submot by Email button down to custom buttons, depending on the functionality you need/want.
    One of the things you need to bear in mind is that for users with Reader to be ble to submit the form back as a PDF, it first needs to be Reader Enabled. This is something you can do in Acrobat before you send out the form, but there are license restrictions. See here . http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    You can set up a solution that locks the fields in the form, prior to submission, but you are getting into scripting. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.
    When it comes to resources... see my recommendations here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4186925#4186925.
    I hope that helps,

  • Format Date Form Field in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Thanks in advance for your help. I have date fields in an Acrobat form. Is it possible to create a script to format a date as either MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY? In other words, if someone enters MM/DD/YYYY, the date would be accepted and MM/DD/YY would also be accepted. Thanks, again.

    Since the time measurement is based on a sattilite revolving around another object in space, much of the concepts and measurements apply to rocket science. But I do not know if all rocket scientist woudl get it. Wasn't there a sattilite that mixed miles and kilometers within the navigation program with a suprising result.
    One needs to get to a common unit and then just do the math.
    Actually JavaScript does have an adjustment for the Date.getYear if the date object is established with the 4 digit year.
    I had a recent issue at work. I work from the U.S and have to access data on a server in the UK using Remote Desktop and the remote deskto is configured for the UK date format unless the user changes it. In prior years the data was processed on servers in the U.S. with U.S. date format. There were many instances when the date and month were swithed and requires over a month to fix.

  • Problems with register a program (Adobe Acrobat Pro)

    I have Acrobat 8 and want to register it so I can use it beyond the 30 days trial period. The reason is that my computer went down yesterday so I had to format everything and reinstall everything once again.Acrobat Installation & Update Issues@

    I assume you are trying to register it on the same OS you used before. You should only have to install it and enter the S/N to activate the program. You did not indicate if you had a problem or what the issue is you are having. Is the registration being rejected or what? Is there an error? If so, what is the exact wording of the error and what where you trying to do at the time of the error?
