I cannot believe the quality of the Acrobat X tutorials. Why can’t they be like the ones for CS.  Some balloon text boxes flash by so fast they cannot be read, timing is also an issue for other balloons. 
Disappointed, If you like I can make better ones for you

  • How do I enable a LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

    I have an interactive PDF form that I created in LiveCycle. However, when it is opened with Adobe Reader, the user is unable to save it. They can only print from Reader. How do I enable the LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

    You have to add save rights with Acrobat.
    Open you form in Acrobat and then save it via File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.

  • How to set a field that automatically generates a unique 'code'/'ID'  for fillable PDF form?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a PDF fillable form with Acrobat X Pro.
    Can Acrobat allow a function, so that it can automatically generate a 'number'/'code' which I could use as an 'identifier'?
    eg.  A hidden field named:  'DOC ID' and provide 100001 when added to response file as it's submitted and '100002' to another file when it another is submitted/added onto the response file etc...
    I am aware that Response files, if submitted correctly, could automatically generate numbers like 001, 002 etc...
    But I'd like to see if I could create a field, that 'numbers' the document for me automatically and uniquely.
    Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    to do this you need kind of interactivity in your form.
    You can achieve this either by:
    1) using JavaScript onchange-events on forename and surname items, or
    2) use the AJAX Computations option of ApexLib, see: http://www.oracle-and-apex.com/ajax-computations-rich-client-feeling/

  • Acrobat 9Pro - How to add a submit (to email address) button for an online fillable PDF form.

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but this is my first time trying to add a submit button to the bottom of a online fillable pdf form. I have 5 of these froms to do. I need the user to go to my website, click the link to open an online fillable form, fill it out and click a submit button in the form, so it can be emailed to an individual. I thought I followed all the steps correctly in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, every which way I could find, but the form gives me an error "this operation not permitted", it's in IE, created in Vista and I now have a headache. Do I need to add extra code to my website html somewhere?
    Does anyone have the neccessary steps to make this work, a video would be even better. Do I have to have this LifeCycle Designer thing?
    My url in case anyone wants to see it. http://www.dyenetwebdesign.com/DaysGoneBy/forms/index2.html
    Thanks sooo much!!

    Some comments based on your application:
    1. It looks like might likely exceed the 500 use limit, in that case to not use Reader Rights or you will violate the license. The cost beyond that can be negotiated with Adobe (if they will talk to you), but don't expect it to be check. In that case, submit the form data as and FDF file. This file can be imported into the form at your end and get exactly the same results as if the whole form had been sent. The FDF submission does not require Reader Rights. The parent will still be able to print the form, but saving would require having Acrobat, not Reader.
    2. A lot of the data appears to be personal in terms of the name of children, addresses, etc. It would be a good idea to check with legal counsel about submitting such information by e-mail, particularly for children. E-mail is not generally considered secure, unless you possibly used some form of secure e-mail. For that reason you should consider submitting the data to a web script that would be stored someplace for you to obtain it and possibly send you a notice of receipt. A secure website is preferred for this use. You should keep the option open for anyone to submit the form in paper if they object to the potential security risks with your online submission method.
    I know those put rinkles in your forms, but for such an application it is a good idea to consider the potential consequences if you do not worry about the form security and number of uses. The potential is to put you out of business or more. OK, an extremist view, but worth considering.

  • NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses

    FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
    You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
    To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
    Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
    Click to view larger image
    The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
    Click to view larger image
    The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
    Click to view larger image
    The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.
    This FAQ describes what types of PDF forms can/cannot be imported and what functionality is limited within the PDF once imported:

    I followed this process to import my PDF form.  The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral.  The link works but the web page is confusing to customers.  The message is: 
    An error has occurred.
    The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
    When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer.  I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.  
    How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page?

    In Adobe Acrobat use File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files...
    Won't work with files created in Designer. You'll just get the same error as the OP.
    A PDF package is the only option available for Designer forms.
    (although you WILL get that option after you let "create from multiple documents" fail.)

  • Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form?  If so, how?

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed.  I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field.  The procedure for creating these escapes me.  Does anyone have any insight?

    Hi Gilad,
    thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
    Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
    One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
    Kind Regards,
    Pete
