PDF Forms on Ipad

I have created a PDF form using Adobe X Pro. The form works fine, I open it on an Ipad using the new reader and fill out the form, works perfect.
My issues is that I am trying to email the document with all the information that was input but I need it to be flattened somehow. I am basically trying to turn the form into a regular pdf file when emailed.
I thought of a "print to PDF" but none of the software does that. When I try to open it in another document, it opens as a regular PDF with no forms and no information (an empty form document, not form). Any idea how I can acomplish this?
Thanks,
Watt

Well, I figured it out after buying half of the apps on Itunes...
There is not a true Airprinter to PDF, which would be the simplest answer however if you have this issue, PDF Expert will allow you to flatten a form prior to emailing it, which works for me.
Hope this helps.

Cannot read filled-out pdf form on iPad

Hello,
I completed and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the form is blank and I can't see any of the filled-out data. After searching online for solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > Advanced, but PDF Optimizer is grayed out and I don't find info on how to activate it. Any help would be appreciated!

If Adobe did I would recommend Acrobat.
ReaderISO work okay but nothing with any javascript or ability work with forms
Currently Reader is just that it allows your look at some PDF's
That is the only PDF Application that allows full java script and Forms fillout.

Can't open pdf form on iPad

I can open the pdf form on my laptop just fine, but when I try to open it on my iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and Adobe Reader 10.5.0, I get this error "If this mesage is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the doc, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document." I did notice that when I open the pdf on my laptop, it pops up a note explaining what to enter for a particular field. Can the Reader iOS version not handle these pop-up notes on forms? Is this being worked on? Thanks.

I only know what's been said on the forums. I suspect that there will be support for static XFA forms in the future, though it seems like a lot of work for little return. I would be surprised if dynamic XFA forms are ever supported as it would be much more work, but the return may be greater. I hope that more support for JavaScript with Acroforms comes first.

Fill out pdf form on iPad?

A friend has asked me to find out whether it's possible to fill out and sign a pdf form on an iPad. I don't have a stylus, so I have no way to test it. Does anyone know?

Adobe Reader will let you read and fill out form fields on the iPad. You can add a signature with it as well. You can highlight, annotate, rename files, and create folders. It's a pretty nice pdf app and it is free!

Need help filling out pdf forms on iPad

Adobe Reader (11.0.1) on my iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3) is not letting me fill out a form (just a bunch of text fields) that was created with Acrobat 8 Pro/LiveCycle. The form can be filled out fine with Reader 11.x on my WinXP desktop though. Any ideas?

No, you'll be just the same.
You need to not use LiveCycle Designer, but make the form in Adobe Acrobat. Everything you know about making forms in LiveCycle Designer will not help you at all.
These are a different kind of form, made differently, and with different features (e.g. they are always static in layout).
Also, you start with an existing PDF (not a form) for all the background and fixed text, then just add fields.
There are other things to do like avoid JavaScript. Start with very simple forms and test features, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list.

Tabbing through PDF Forms on iPad

I have a stupid question.
I've built a bunch of forms in Acrobat Pro XI, and the company I work for provides everyone with iPads for ease of use. heh.
Our people are using external keyboards for the iPad to fill out these forms and I've been told that the Tab Key on the keyboard does NOT tab through the field. Instead they have to use the Next button on the on-screen keyboard.
Is there a way to get around this? They are using Adobe Reader on their iPads.
I do have an iPad, however, I don't have an external keyboard for it - so I can't troubleshoot this.
Thanks for any help. Oh how I loathe this stupid trend.

ZAGG make a Great KeyBoad Case combination for your iPad. Its slightly miniturized Full sized keyboad it’s a Bluethooh keyboard. And it actually has the same feel as a Standard Laptop keyboard. It doesn't feel like a Chicklet keyboard. I have one for my iPad. The case is made out of Kevlar. The key board uses any unversal Power brick that uses a standard USB connector at the brick ined and the micro USB in key board end. I bought the case for mine along with iPad just after the iPad3 came out I have yet to recharge the keyboard.

I need to make a pdf form that is fillable and send from ipad to email not tracked just the complete email. Can someone help me.

I have forms that I have created with submit buttons, that are filled out and sent complete to an email box. I would like to do the same only have my form filled out on an ipad and then have the submit button send the completed form the same way.
I don't want to gather the data, since i am doing this for another department. They want to track there own data via the Pdf's they receive. Is this possible?

majende,
Adobe Reader for iOS does support a Submit button.
(a) Button action to submit an entire PDF document via email
(b) JavaScript submitForm to Adobe FormsCentral
Do you use the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF form?
For option (a)
Add the "Submit a form" action to your Submit button.
Enter "mailto:" (including a colon) followed by email recipient(s). Please add a comma between two email addresses.
Example: [email protected], [email protected]
Select "PDF The complete document".
This particular type of PDF form will work with Adobe Reader desktop and mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
In Adobe Reader for iOS, a user can do the following steps to submit the particular type of PDF form.
Fill out the PDF form.
Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.
Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the Share File dialog.
Adobe Reader for iOS will automatically fill in the email address(es) that you specified when you created the PDF form.
Tap the Send button in the upper right corner.
Adobe Reader for iOS will send the PDF form as an email attachment via Apple Mail (the default mail app for iOS).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

How to allow users to post an image in a PDF form using their IPADS

Hello,
I need help with a work project. I need to create forms for our trainers to use on site. I have Adobe XI Pro and can do the basics, however I would love for the trainers to be able to submit photo's, video etc with their PDF forms. Can anyone tell me how I can get Adobe XI Pro to insert an image field, so when the trainers are conducting an assessment they can take a photo with their ipad and embed into a designated area on the form? I would be ever so grateful.

The only PDF Viewer on the iPad that I know supports this is Readdle's PDF Expert. Adobe Reader for iOS does not. It involves using the buttonImportIcon JavaScript method. More information here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6037991

Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

Ipad app that will fill in pdf form and capture signature with stylus

Hello. I am looking for an application which will allow me to read, edit and fill out pdf forms AND capture a signature on the pdf form with a stylus. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently am using an ipad, second generation.

hullo there, i would personally recommend writepdf, i use this myself and you can do all of the above more or less, you can also create customized signatures and insert them into pdfs. i think what i like even more about writepdf is that you can directly edit docs, anyway, definitely look for it on the app store!

Trying to upload pictures from and iPad on to a pdf form (Adobe FormsCentral)

Im trying to upload pics from my iPad onto an pdf form also on my iPad. Is there a special code that I need?

A few users have been successful using a powered USB hub. Plug the camera into the hub and plug the hub into your iPad.
If your camera has an SD card, use the card instead.
If your camera doesn't use an SD card, import the pics to your computer.
Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

The updated Adobe Reader App on the iPad will not flatten a PDF Form before emailing.

My iPad automatically updated and since that update, we cannot fill in PDF forms and flatten to share via email. When we share via email it shares the original file. The help section shows that option to flatten the file, but when actually performing the functions it just automatically attaches the document to the email without that security option. Has anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve it?

As an update, I am finding that I can still send documents via email (and given the option to flatten) if the document was already in my adobe prior to this update, even if I changed the document. However, If I am opening a new document right now from dropbox or some other source and editing and saving it to adobe, it will only email the original blank document.

Ipad email and PDF Forms

So I am sending Acro Forms to the iPad. Single page PDF forms open in the body of the email and when I send them to PDF Expert from the email client, they are broken when I try and send them back via the email button in the form. Multi-page PDF's do not open in the email preview body and they work in PDF Expert and email recipients. Conclusion: PDF Preview on iPAD breaks Acro Forms.
Thoughts?
