Need Acrobat 9.0 Forms Help

installed acrobat 9.0 on an xp system. the install seems to have gone well but I am not able to complete any forms. Forms that we use often and complete fine on other machines will not allow any of the fillable forms to be filled. The typing tool does not work. I am desparate for answers.

I am not particularly trying to use a tool. I have 60 or so form we complete for clients in the office. On one machine the forms open fine but we are not able to complete the forms. I even tried to use the typewriter tool and a text box will open over the fillable form field but nothing is typed there. I have tried everything. it is happening on one machine. I even purchased a additional copy of acrobat thinking that would help the problem. I have forms that I fill on other systems in my office. I know they are forms and yet on one system I am unable to type in the form fields. There are a few check boxes and they will fill but he text fields will not. I have uninstalled acrobat 9.0, I have gone into the registry and deleted all referenced to adobe and still no success. I even tried calling adobe and still I am at a standstill. If you have an answer please let me know. I really need help with this one.

How do I remove the digital signature option on Adobe Acrobat 7.x? I don't want it, but it pops up every time I need to sign a form, and I cannot find a way to remove

I created a digital signature to sign forms using Adobe Acrobat 7.x. I really don't want or need this feature, but do not know how to remove it or keep it from popping up every time I need to sign a form. Can anyone help? I'm not that technically savvy, so please explain in layman's terms. Thanks!

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Purchased Acrobat XI, need to edit a form, I need livecycle to do so, can't install trial on my Mac?

My boss put Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac, I need the lifecycle to edit a form but don't know how often I'll need this tool. When I tried to download the trial, it didn't seem to support mac OS, what is the deal?

To create and edit PDF forms you need Acrobat Standard as a minimum.
If those forms require Extended Rights applied to do the following, you need Acrobat Pro:
Allow Adobe Reader users prior to version XI to save filled-in forms
Allow Adobe Reader users to complete digital signature fields
See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
Normally the underlying page layout of a form is created and edited in the original application (Word, InDesign, etc.) and Acrobat is only used to add the interactive fields after the PDF has been created. Acrobat Pro can do basic editing of page content but it's a long way from a word processor!
'Acrobat Plus' is simply a subscription version of Acrobat Pro with Adobe's cloud-based storage and tools included. The software itself is indentical to the regular Pro version.

Product Specific Form - Help Needed

I have a client who will be selling firearms and ammunition on a hunting site, along with other hunting products.
I need to have a form specific for firearms and ammunition products that will be required to be filled out before that product firearm and or ammunition can be added to the cart. The laws in Canada are very strict about purchases of such product on the internet.
How do I do this or is it even possible to have a form specific to these products pop up when add to cart is clicked?
Thanks in advance

Hello river east,
I'm just spitballing here, but here is one option for this to work.
Basically you would create a secure zone and if the user isn't signed in they wouldn't see the Add to Cart button.
The js would look like this - http://jsfiddle.net/chaddidthis/uDmXj/1/
As a part of signing up for the secure zone they have to accept the gun and ammo purchasing terms. You could have the link to the form on the large product page, sends them to either log in or sign up via the form they need to fill out. After then fill out the form they are sent back a page sending them back into the large product view they were on, and since they are signed in now the product will be able to add to cart.
Maybe this will spark others to add on to this, but that is pretty much the only way I could think to accomplish the desired results.
Hope it helps,

I installed acrobat pro on my computer, and now I am unable to download items because I get a message that I need to open acrobat for the user agreement. opening acrobat pro does not help.

I installed acrobat pro on my computer, and now I am unable to download items because I get a message that I need to open acrobat for the user agreement. opening acrobat pro does not help. What do i do?

I have not contacted Adobe. I am using acrobat pro CC, and haven't noticed any problem with the software itself. The only problem I have had so far is when I try to download.

Basic form help needed

I am new to Dreamweaver 8 (but have worked with simple html a
quite a bit) and am working on building a, hopefully, simple
prototype for a project. What I need to do is collect user-entered
text and user-selected dropdown box data on one page and send it to
another for presentation there. After looking at the Help screens,
I looked at using Session variables and it seems that is the best
way to pass the data. Where I am stuck is in the (from Help
Contents) Making Pages Dynamic - Creating Forms - Creating HTML
forms help. They first say to, in step 2, Select Insert > Form
(which doesn't do anything - you have to click another option,
which I figured meant Form again). Then, in step 3, they say to
"Specify the page or script that will process the form data." by
selecting the file in the Action box in Properties. I don't have a
file to "process the form data" and don't really know what they are
talking about. Help!
I originally (before I reverted to using Help) set it up with
Insert->Form->Text Field text entry boxes, figuring this was
a Form field that could be captured and passed on. Right? Wrong? I
guess I thought the method would be to define a variable name
associated with a text input field in one page, then pass it with
the value to the next page. That is pretty much what it seems
Session variables do (?), which I discovered when I started looking
at Help.
So, was I on the right track for a simple implementation and
missed the way to capture and transmit the data, or do I need to
use the Forms->Forms option? If the former, how do I define the
variable names? If the later...well, I am real confused then. :-)
Thanks for your help.
(btw, we do have training material coming - went with
Dreamweaver for Dummies, Peachpit Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Hands-On
Training "dead tree media" and TechRepublic Fast Track Dreamweaver
8 CBT. Any opinions on those?)

Session variables as the name suggests are created when a
user starts a session and last till the session is open. You form
doesn't really need session variables unless you are carrying form
data from one page to another and need to keep it associated with
that specific user such as in shopping cart applications.
I have never used the dreamweaver insert form, so can't help
you there. why not code the form yourself, especially since you
have been using html

Acrobat 7 editable form

I'm trying to get the size of a pdf down, the person that needs to use it says they have acrobat 7.0.8 for the PC.
I have produced the form in acrobat 9 pro on the mac adding editable boxes.
I used PDF optimiser to downsample the images and unembeded arial and verdana and made it compatible with acrobat 5.0 and later (when I tried version 7 and under and 6 and under they had error messges) then went to 'extend features in adobe reader so it could be edited and saved.
The file made was 430mb but I need it smaller, can anyone help?

They have acrobat but its only reader 7. They can't upgrade at this moment in time.
The form works fine here on a test pc with acrobat 7.
But they had an error saying 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.' when I saved it for version 7 and above (this happened twice so it can't be the file corrupting).
But when I saved it as version 5 they could read it, fill the form in and save it but the file size was getting too big.
I noticed the further back the version you saved, the larger the pdf was.
Is there another way of making it smaller?

Acrobat Pro 9 forms tracker not keeping distributed form details

Help needed with an issue we are experiencing with acrobat not retaining the distributed forms details (or review documents that have been distributed). We are not able to retain the details of the distributed forms once we exit the application and close off for the day we loss the details anyone experienced this?

Can you distribute a form and check if the file "AdhocWorkflow" is present at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on Vista/Win 7) or C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on win XP)? If present, can you send it to me at ambooATadobe.com for investigating?

Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Toolbar

There has been a big change from Acrobat 8 Pro to 9 Pro regarding how the forms toolbar is displayed. While the changes are a great improvement to make it easier to create forms...I am having trouble adjusting to editing forms. Is there any way to have the forms toolbar display on the regular view so that you do not have to keep going to the button to click add/edit forms and then get a new screen. I just want to work from the same view and not have to go back and forth when I am working on a form that is already created. I thought maybe it would be a "right click" or some kind of preference but so far I cannot find any way to change this. I would appreciate any help!

Thank you for the response.
Do you know what the logic was to make such a dramatic change - since all the previous versions of Acrobat permitted the forms toolbar in the regular view? They must have thought this format was better. Any ideas?

Acrobat 9 pro form printing

just getting started with filling in forms in my new acrobat 9 professional program. I've filled o
ut the form, saved it, but when I try to print I only get the BLANK form
(no edits). Tried printing as image; only shows uncompleted form. Despite removing the highlighted fields option, my edits remain highlighted on the saved form but when I click on print, it shows a blank form. Tried printing in black only; doesn't work. When I do print review, I only see the blank form. I'm stumped. I need to get this form completed and sent back to the originator

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same problem.

Embedding video in PDF, keeps says it cant convert and need Acrobat Pro Extended?

I have Acrobat Pro 9 and with using the tool to embed video which seems to convert to a flash format, it keeps coming back saying its unable to convert and that I would need Acrobat Pro Extended. I tried a handfull of different video types and every one that I chose gave me the same message. All it will seem to do is somehow link to the video whcih will use the viewer installed on that persons computer to run. It seems to give you the ability to convert video over but it doesnt let you for anything you choose, what am I doing wrong?
I have Acrobat Pro 9 Extended at work which I tried the same thing with and of course, that worked. Is the Extended part by any chance just a patch for Pro 9 or is it a totally different purchase?

"Add multimedia to PDFs" at Acrobat Pro's LiveDocs may help to clarify.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS65B80E79-F165-44f0-BBCA-0F142A75869 6.html
Looks like the following general observations apply.
If the multmedia file(s) meet the identified requirements for Professional it is "in".
If the multimedia file(s) do not, then conversion is required - but conversion is only available in Pro Extended.
That you get a "need conversion" message, from Pro that would be indicative of an input that does not meet the specified requirements for direct use in Pro.
An alternative might be to try "Create Legacy ..."
Legacy multimedia will rely on the end-user having the appropriate player application installed.
fwiw - having an interest in multimedia & PDF you might find this helpful
