Making fillable forms usable for Reader users

I create fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I need to know how to make it so that they can be filled out and saved (in their filled-out form) by users of Adobe Reader. I have tried the advice in this article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w .html, but when I save them as Reader-extended pdfs and then open them in Reader, I can't fill them out. If I save them as Reader-extended pdfs and then choose "save a copy", the resulting copy, when opened in Reader XI, can be filled out and saved, but it doesn't work in Reader X. I need a solution that works for all recent Reader versions!
I am about to tear my hair out over this issue! I just need our clients to be able to fill out forms and save them with the data still in them in Reader!

Working solution for "Can't save data to a PDF using Adobe Reader 11 (Dynamic form created in LiveCycle ES3, extended using Adobe Pro X)"
I've been reading the posts in this thread and other threads, and many users seem to have a "similar" problem with data being put in to an "Extended PDF", but that data not being saved when opened in Adobe Reader.
This issue has been happening at my place of work as well and I have found a work around.
Firstly, let me explain what we have in place:
Windows 7
Adobe LiveCycle ES3 (10.0.2)
Adobe Acrobat Pro X (10.1.10)
Adobe Reader (11.0.06)
Adobe Extension Server 9
The Steps leading up to the issue:
I created a Dynamic form using LiveCycle ES3
Saved the XFA file to a Dynamic PDF
Opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro X, and extended it (and saving under a new file name)*
Open the PDF in Reader 11 and open the extended PDF, enter some data, save the PDF and close Reader
Re-open Reader and the previously saved PDF with my data in it
Once I re-open the file, the data is gone
The solution (in my case):
(first 3 steps are the same as above)
I created a Dynamic form using LiveCycle ES3
Saved the XFA file to a Dynamic PDF
Opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro X, and extended it (and saving under a new file name)
Open Acrobat Pro X (not Reader), then open the extended PDF*
Enter some data, and save the form normally and give it a new name
Re-open the PDF form with Acrobat Pro X, with the saved data (which the data should be there), then delete the data I entered, then save the form.
Open Adobe Reader XI, open the same PDF that "I saved from Acrobat Pro X", then "cleared" the data from it (not the original PDF I extended)
Enter some data, and then save the file
Re-open Reader, the same PDF, and the data should now be holding (not empty)
*Even if I use the Adobe Extension Server to extend the PDF, the data still does not save from Reader.
My guess as to why this is happening(?)
I never had this issue when I was creating my forms using LiveCycle ES2.
I am guessing that ES3 somehow sets different security/document/property settings when I save the XFA document to a PDF. When I extended the PDF afterwards using Acrobat Pro X, something "under the covers" of Acrobat Pro X breaks or resets the properties of the PDF.
By re-opening the PDF in Acrobat Pro X, entering data, then saving the PDF under a new name, then going back and removing the data I entered; it seems to set new security/property/document settings that Adobe Reader 11 can handle?
I've had to follow this same process each time I edit or create a form in LiveCycle, with a 100% success rate. With that being said, I have not seen what happens if the form I create is simple and "not dynamic".
Hope this "rather bizarre" solution is helpful to some?

Using Professional to create fillable form that a Reader user can save

New to Acrobat Professional. Used to create a performance appraisal with fillable areas and made available on our intranet. All other employees just have the free Reader. I assumed that they would be able to complete and save on their personal drive since they may not be able to complete at one sitting. Also, form requires supervisor to complete a section so was hoping that they could send to them to complete. Is this not possible?

As long as you are at a small company, the Reader Extensions would be acceptable with the license -- particularly if there is no submission involved. Just be aware there are license limitations to this feature and you should check that you are in compliance. It sounds like you are.

Fillable form fields for an Employee Performance Review ?

So i've designed our Employee Perfomance Review in InDesign, exported the PDF and created form fields in Acrobat 9. The goal is to have a PDF that contains fillable form fields for our yearly reviews that can be filled out, saved, and re-opened and edited again in Adobe Reader. They will need to be edited by several people from different computers.
The problem i'm running into is this: Each employee will have at least two supervisors contributing to their reviews. So, this form needs to be able to be edited by one person and saved, then forwarded to the next person who would in turn add their comments. The second reviewer would then save their information, send it back to the first reviewer, who would finalize the document, save it digitally and print it out so we would have a hard copy.
The main goal is to have a document that can be passed back and forth and remain editable.
I can use the Distribute Form option in Acrobat, but this information needs to be accessable by the completer of the form and HR only, and not myself. Using Distribute form would require HR to purchase a version of Acrobat to distribute the forms and access the information...either that or they would have to use my computer to distribute the form and recieve responses.This still doesn't solve my main problem. From everything I have seen, the distributed forms can only be submitted, and not saved or passed around.
If the PDF is sent out as an attachment, it can be filled out and printed to PDF to save it digitally, but it can't be edited again in Reader.
I'm looking for a way to utilize Acrobat for this, and not resort to using Word or some other program. The reason we upgraded to Acrobat 9 in the first place was because we thought it would make this process work. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
aaardvrk

Thanks. It looks like we're covered under 15.12.3(b) since this document will only be distributed to about 10 supervisors. I interpret this to mean that we can use this document as many times as we like as long as the total number of Users (supervisors) doesn't exceed 500.
"For any unique Extended Documnent, you may either (a)... ; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients."
Thanks again.

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

PDF Form Javascript for getting User LoginName

Please let me know PDF Form JavaScript for showing User Login Name (login id) in the Text Field (text1), when using Button (button1).

As noted there has to be a special folder level script installed on each user's system. This script can be written to access individual properties of the identity object or only a specific property. One can also create a function to access the identity object or even create new properties.

Dear Saman,
If you want to set form setting for particular user than first gave him authorized for form setting, and than log on through particular user and than open the document (PO,SO.DO,A/R,A/P)and set the form.
if you want the copy form setting form of particular user than log through user and go -to Admin-setup-genaral-User and copy the form setting.

Form opening for some users but not others

I created a form with an area for the recipient to simply type their name, save the document and email it back. This works for some but I have a user getting an error message:
"This document does not allow changes to be saved. Any changes you have made will not be included in the document when it's mailed. Do you want to continue?"
Could this be an issue with the user's Reader? They cannot save or email the document once they type in their name.

Reader XI is the first version of Adobe Reader that can save a filled in PDF form without any additional processing steps.
Versions of Reader prior to version XI could not save filled-in forms. Version 7 with updates was the first version of Reader that could save forms for which special Extended Reader Rights were applied to.
Which version of Reader are the users with problems using?
If before version XI and version 7 or newer, then you need to apply Extended Reader Rights to the form. For users with version 6 or older, they will have to upgrade to a newer version of Reader.

How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient. How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information. I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X
Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore.
Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

Can't see typed text in fillable forms in Adobe Reader x unless you click back in the field?

We have fillable forms and when employees open them they can type in but as soon as they tab to the next field you can't see text in previous field unless you click back into that field with your mouse. Then when you click on print it prints the form out with no text in the field. This form can be opened and filled in if the staff member has adobe pro of nuance but not in the new reader.

I just ran into the problem as well. To resolve it, I had to open the form in Acrobat then delete and recreate the fields what are not showing text. I know this is a pain but it seems to be the only way to fix the problem. Going forward, I'm either going to have to upgrade the acrobat program to version X or stop using the form wizzard. It seems that fields created with the wizzard act weird in reader x. Either that or wait for what ever the bug is in reader x to be fixed.
This fix works for all fields except digital signature which in reader X does not do anything when clicked.

Problems with calculations using fillable forms via Adobe Reader

I have created a fillable form to use for our business. Our Tech's need to access these forms when working on job sites. I am able to access it on our Android Tablet via Adobe Reader, but all of the fields don't add/calculate Is there a particular version of Adobe we should download to the Tablet in order for this to work?

Our latest update, 10.4, should support basic calcilations. If you find that this doesn't work for your document, then please email the document and a brief explanation of your problem to [email protected], so we can better understand what the problem is.

Automate Printing of a fillable form using Adobe reader

I am working on a project to automate the reporting of enrollment confirmations, etc. in a national service.
I have written a C# program that connectd to a national service organization from a client machine and enrolls people as needed.
Occasionally , a list of names along with enrollment status, etc - is downloaded to the machine.
I am using ES Desiner and Adobe pro 9.0 to maintain some simple PDF forms that a C# program is filling out as each form is inspected, etc.
This currently works fine - printing one form on demand as needed.
I would like to move ahead one step in the automation sequence and allow the user to select which files to print from a list of files available and allow the program to simply fill out the form as needed - (it is already doing this) and print to the current default printer.
it is my understanding that this is possible using the SDK and the standard reader - but I am having some difficulty in finding out just how to go about it.
Can you please direct me to where I would begin learning how to do this using the SDK and the adobe reader ?

When i say : ("it is already doing this"), I mean that the C# program is already pre-filling a form - when the file is selected and the user loads the data to the form and it is being printed when the user decides to press the print button.
I would like to automate this sequence for the user so he/she doesn't have to do it manually , and doesn't have to do it one at a time - as it is done now -
I have been told that this is possible using the SDK and adobe reader but it is not exactly documented in a way that i can identify .
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!
