Protected fill-in forms

Is it possible to send a fill in form that cannot be edited after it was completely filled? If so, how can I do that, and if not, is there any alternative to protect a document from fraudulent alterations?

Adobe Reader Touch does not support form filling yet. We are working on it for a future release this year.
For Surface RT running the Windows RT operating system, I believe that Microsoft Reader is the only application that provides limited support for form filling as of this writing (July 31, 2013). Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) is not compatible with Windows RT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Protecting completed PDF fill-in forms from changes

I have several completed PDF fill-in forms that I wish to make available on a website, but I do not want the viewer to be able to make changes to the forms. Is there a setting that will turn off the fill-in function?

You can either set the fields to read-only or flatten them. The latter can't be undone, unlike setting to read-only, so it may be preferable. For a convenient method of flattening, you can use the following free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
or open the form in Acrobat, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), enter the following line of code:
flattenPages();
and with the cursor on that line, click Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad. Be sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original since this is not reversible.

User Cannot Click on Hyperlinks in Fill-able Form

We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website. Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields. But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage. When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions. I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks. Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer. Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs. Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either. The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
Is there way to modify this?

Not sure what you mean by just the text for the hyperlink. These are true hyperlinks where there is a work or phase that shows up bold blue in the document. If I use Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view the Doc, I can click on the Hyperlinks. But other PDF programs and Chrome does not allow anyone to click on the Hyperlinks.

Setting "Filling of Form Fields" document property to "Not allowed"

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Forms, and I want to set the property "Filling of Form Fields" as "not allowed" in the pdf documents it renders (that property
can be found in the "Document Properties" window of Adobe Reader, under the Security Tab).
Is there any way to set it , in the server (using the EJBClient class that renders the form) or
in the client (via javascript)?.
Thanks

You should be able to set this on your XDP file from within Designer. Go to File-->Form Properties
and you'll see a PDF security tab there with the same options you have in Reader.

Attaching a filled out form

Hello
How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Keith.

You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
- Open the Form in Designer
- Add a button object to the form
- Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
- Change the Control type of the button to Submit
- Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
- update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
*Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.

Creating 'fill in forms' in Word 2011

I have created a fill in form in Word 2011 and protected it as required but PC users cannot fill in the boxes. Any one had experience creating these forms? Is there another step i have to take?

This PDF document contains forms. The filling of forms is not supported.

I get this message when I attempt to open a password protected document. "This PDF document contains forms. The filling of forms is not supported." It won't even let me enter the password. What do I do?

Hi stephenh20710301,
Could you please let me know if you are using the latest version of Reader i.e 11.0.10
Ask the PDF creator or if you are the creator, open the PDF in Acrobat XI (latest version) and choose "File> Save as Other> Reader Extended PDF> Enable more Tools"
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Anubha

In order to fill in a form, the person that created it would have needed to add fillable form fields. Just because it looks like a form, doesn't mean it has those fields.
If it does not have them, you cannot fill it out with Reader.

How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

How do I edit text in a fill-in form? I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX. The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added. Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates). Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc. I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it. Please, tell me there is a better way!
If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

Fonts are Licensed asset's subject to single user use. They are not intended to be exchanged, redistributed, etc.
As part of the PDF standard they included in a document so that the document can be viewed reliably without the font be installed on the viewing station.
To edit you must have the font installed on your computer. The ability for second parties to use the font would violate font licenses.

How can I set up auto fill for forms on new PC with Windows 7

I cannot find any place on the Firefox browser to add my basic contact information for filling out forms.

Occasionally when filling in forms in Safari 5.1.2 certain keys on the keyboard don"t work. When I use the coma it opens up another tab.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
