Problem with filling out forms

When I enter text into a form field and press tab, the text disappears. The text is saved, so when I click back to the box the text reappears, but it doesn't print. Previous threads regarding this topic has not resolved the issue.
The form works just fine when I press view in gmail and it opens the document in my browser, but the problem occurs when I open it in Adobe Reader XI.
Please help. Thanks.

George,
Thanks for the reply. Although I have a third party PDF Editing tool I have tried this with other PDF editable forms and they all seem to be exhibiting the same behavior. For example I went out on the internet tonight and found a UCSB Order Form on http://www.grafikart.com/order/ucsb.htm. When I open this form and type in text the displayed text is always black but when I print the form the entered text is always dark green. Note that I contacted my third party PDF editor tool about the problem they suggested that I run the unedited form thru their software and set all existing fields to be editable and then re-save the form after insuring that the text color for the editable fields was black. I did all that and again, the color of displayed text is still dark green. Note that when I'm talking about the text being green I want you to understand that the form itself prints in black text however any text that I enter into the form always prints dark green.

Problems with filling out PDF forms

We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

Hello,
Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2? When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes. Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine. As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2. Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment. When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable. I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

From the menu bar, select
Edit ▹ Substitutions
and uncheck Text Replacement.

Problems with filling out/going back and editing filled out information and signing forms

Users cannot fully fill out, edit and save forms--
the forms were set up in InDesign CS6, then edited in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for all the form info and after that was set up the forms were saved as extended pdfs to allow adobe reader users to fill them out and sign.
The users are having all kinds of issues with the forms and its been difficult to pin point the exact cause.
Here are 2 errors:
This document enabled extended features in Adobe reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.
The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill out and sign this document you need to print it out.
---I've checked the security on the form and there is no security not allowing them to fill it out and I believe that originally they were able to but the form was saved and then they went back and were unable to edit it. I need to know if its something I need to do on my end or an instruction I need to give to them--steps to filling out and saving programs vesions to use etc..
sorry for some of the holes in the info. the form was created for a client and they sent it out to their employees so I do not have direct contact with the people having the issues just two screenshots, and I have not been able to find an answer that works--this is what I thought would help but it didnt:
It should solve the signature/adding text issue—From : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987256
Your user should go to Extended pane in Reader to apply a digital signature to the Reader extended PDF.
The user is probably trying to use the Sign pane in Reader which has some options disabled according to the document permissions. The new Sign pane in Reader is an integration with Adobe EchoSign service in the sense that it enables an end user to fill-up documents, electronically sign and then send a PDF document, without having the need to print them. The Sign pane provides two options to the user:
1 - Fill and Sign: Here the user can place text using 'Add Text'. Users can add arbitrary text to a PDF, eg. in documents where Reader cannot interact with the document even though the document looks like a form, in forms where user cannot save the filled-up form. In such cases the only option a user has is to print the form, fill it and then fax or fedex the filled up document to the author or scan it and send it electronically. Using the Sign pane in Reader, a user can add text and also electronically sign the document (this is not the same as digital signature) using an image of their signature. He can create a 'signature' from a scanned paper which has user's handwritten signature and place it on the PDF.
2 - Send for Signature: Here the user is sent to EchoSign for collecting signatures from others.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not.

Problem with filling the forms in Nokia browser af...

Hello,
I updated my Nokia 808 to FP2 successfuly. But i realized one problem in web browser and the new keyboard. For example when i want to write into a form box i can only see virtual keyboard. I cannot see what i type. If you want to test this, please open your local nokia website and click on support / e mail us. You will see a form which will ask your phone model and OS etc. Try to type into the boxes. Yesterday i failed to write anything. Also reaction is very slow. You can see what i m talking about in the attachments.
Also with the new update, videos are not working correctly. Sometimes video player is crashing. Sometimes i see strange and colourful images while it is trying to play the video. Then it turns to normal and i see the video clearly.
Im satisfied with some new things in the update but there are problems and slow downs. Some features are not working such as Nokia Social. I hope Nokia Team will find a solution. Thank you.

HI ilkerol,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Thanks for the feedback! I tested the support form with the same results, the page was slow and kept on moving up to the top when I was typing in the textbox. I tried it with a Lumia device, and even though I was able to fill the textbox without problems, the drop down menus did not work. Based on that experience, it seems that the form is meant to be used with a personal computer, not a mobile device. I will, however, escalate this issue in case there is a possibility of a quick fix.
As for the video issue, does this happen with all videos or just certain ones? Colorful images etc. usually mean that the video file encoding is somehow broken and the player cannot read it properly.
Hope this helps!

Problems with trying out forms

An error has occurred.
The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
[ref: W3sRbZqOO2SThRtH0yK3kg, AccessControlViolation]
Does anybody of you knows how to fix that? I definitly think it´s something with my system.
Thank you very much!
Edit:
The same things happens, when I try to access to form on different Computers with just the link and the form set to "public".

Can you please send me the link at [email protected]? I'd like to try it out at my side.
Thanks,
Wenlan

Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I am low on the techy food chain and need help. Why does my g-mail address get rejected when I fill out forms on line. I do not have this problem with Safari :(

When filling out forms or needing to give my g-mail address on Firefox, my address is always rejected. It comes up as an non valid address. I then have to switch to Safari to complete all forms. :(

You don't download apps from the iTunes app store with Safari.

Help with the event of closing of fill-out form

Hi:
I am in need of his help, I want to grab SAP's event of impression BO, but specifically upon the assignment of folio, this since I want to create a small routine that you not leave behind to enter null values or zero, however when I press the button to close [X] in the fill-out form, this just the same assigns a value zero or void within the data base.
That way than that you may help oneself with this I will be very grateful

FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
(And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

tamarsaw, Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
Open Tabs
The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
History
This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)
The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
When I look at 'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed? If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field. My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form. You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan. This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents". Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues. On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get. You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.

Coding for static fill-out form

fill out form questionnaire?
I am creating in Flash CS4 (AS3) a static fill out form for a website that I am involved in. The questionnaire helps to determine whether a person is suseptible to drug and alcohol abuse with either a postive answer (not likely to develop substance abuse) or a negative answer (likely to develop substance abuse)
There are six questions on this form that MUST be answered either yes or no.
I have created the form with all art and buttons and it is ready to implement in Dreamweaver but need the scripting to make work.
The six YES buttons are assigned instance names of cb1, cb3, cb5, cb7, cb9 and cb11
The six NO buttons are assigned instance names of cb2, cb4, cb6, cb8, cb10
and cb12.
When the participant answers all six questions either yes or no they will hit a Submit button (with an instance name of submit) that will direct them to a new web/flash page with appropriate answer.
If the participant answers TWO or more questions with YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the negative answer.
If the participant answers ONE YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with a positive answer.
If the participant answers ALL NO and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the same positive answer as answering with ONE YES response.
I assume this is a very complex coding problem. I am a beginner/intermidiate flash person with extreme novice understanding of coding. I know what stop(); does in AS3 and understand simple clickTag coding etc.
Would appreciate any help with AS3 coding for this document.
I usually find coding on forums like these and online blogs - but I don't even know where to begin looking.
Thanks

Filled out form to email when i submit

We using form central, this is my project requirement :- after filled out form i need response as pdf attachment in email.

I also had a problem with the adobe pdf form not getting submitted when Thunderbird was the default email client. In my case I was getting an error message. Internet Explorer and Thunderbird were both set to Thunderbird as the default email client.
My fix:
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults [on the left] -> Custom, and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
If you're using Windows Vista go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
This worked for me. I can now click submit (form set to mailto: and send completed pdf back) and it will open a new mail window from Thunderbird with the pdf attached!
Thunderbird version version 2.0.0.22
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Hope this helps!

Why can't I email filled out forms?

I fill out a form, but when I email it it sends a blank.

Hi Posrthos,
Your data is in the form, but Apple's email application doesn't display forms or comments in PDF properly when it shows the preview. The recipient of the email will be able to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and see the filled out form correctly, regardless of this issue in iOS.
We have reported this problem to Apple and are working with them to make sure that they understand the PDF specification, but do not have any info on when or whether they will fix the display in their email app.
Thanks
