Saving a fillable form in Adobe 7.0 Reader

Hi,
I created a fillable form in LiveCycle, and distributed through the company.
If other people read it with adobe 7.0 reader they are unable to save it with the data still in it what am I missing, I have tried changing the security settings within the document but still no joy !!!!
Can anyone help.

Rebecca - Dave's reply was missing an answer to your question: "Everybody that receives it buys Acrobat 8"? No, those using the forms DO NOT need to have Acrobat Professional 8. Usually one person (such as yourself), has Acrobat 8 and enables the rights on those forms created (there is actually a selection to do this). Once the form is enabled, anyone who simply has Reader can fill in and save a form.
Hope this helps!

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

    I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document.  I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed.  Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc....  Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
    Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
    Greatly appreciated.

    Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

  • How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

    I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient.  How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information.  I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank.  What can I do?  Thank you for your help.

    Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

  • Fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro to create a fillable form from one of my word documents. I have a field with 7 drop down boxes. Within the drop down, there a 4 choices and each choice has a numerical value.
    i.e. One drop down box is: Safety and the 4 choices are:
    Critical event = 20
    Documented near-miss = 15
    Risk = 10
    No safety issue = 0
    I want the user to choose one and then have the numerical value autopopulate
    There are 7 of these drop downs that will have a grand total.
    Is there a way to do this in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    I looked up a javascript but I don't think I did it correctly.
    I have a very basic calculation:
    Safety: Dropdown list containing:
         Critical = 20
         Documented near-miss = 15
         Risk = 10
         No safety issue = 0
    Next to the dropdown I have a text field text box where the user can enter the numerical value (0, 10, 15, 20)
    Then I have a Total Score text field text box where I used the "Calculate" tab, "Value is the sum", "Simplified field notation": then I picked the 7 fields
    This returns the total of the entries in the 7 boxes
    Just seems like there should be a simpler way.

  • Can't see typed text in fillable forms in Adobe Reader x unless you click back in the field?

    We have fillable forms and when employees open them they can type in but as soon as they tab to the next field you can't see text in previous field unless you click back into that field with your mouse.  Then when you click on print it prints the form out with no text in the field.  This form can be opened and filled in if the staff member has adobe pro of nuance but not in the new reader.

    I just ran into the problem as well. To resolve it, I had to open the form in Acrobat  then delete and recreate the fields what are not showing text. I know this is a pain but it seems to be the only way to fix the problem. Going forward, I'm either going to have to upgrade the acrobat program to version X or stop using the form wizzard. It seems that fields created with the wizzard act weird in reader x. Either that or wait for what ever the bug is in reader x to be fixed.
    This fix works for all fields except digital signature which in reader X does not do anything when clicked.

  • Fillable Forms for Adobe 8?

    Hi, I currently have Adobe 8.  Is it possible to make fillable forms using that?  If so, what are the steps to going about that?

    You might be able to find older versions for sale, you just have to make sure they're legitimate. Adobe has a process in place for moving licenses from one person to another, but I don't have the particulars at hand.
    Starting with Acrobat 9, Standard is able to create forms, with certain limitations relating to JavaScript and digital signatures.

  • Problems with calculations using fillable forms  via Adobe Reader

    I have created a fillable form to use for our business. Our Tech's need to access these forms when working on job sites. I am able to access it on our Android Tablet via Adobe Reader, but all of the fields don't add/calculate   Is there a particular version of Adobe we should download to the Tablet in order for this to work?

    Our latest update, 10.4, should support basic calcilations. If you find that this doesn't work for your document, then please email the document and a brief explanation of your problem to [email protected], so we can better understand what the problem is.

  • How can I prepopulate a portion of a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Profession XI from an excel spreadsheet?

    I have created a fillable form, and would like to prepopulate two fields from data in an excel spreadsheet.  Any ideas?

    You need to use JavaScript to import text data in a file setup using the tab delimiter and the column heading with the field name. You may need to select the row to import because one can only import 1 row of data.
    importTextData
    Has an example to import the first row. You can change the row number to see what happens.

  • Selecting Multiple fields from fillable form in Adobe Reader

    I created a form in Adobe Pro, and want to be able to select multiple fields to cut and paste the results in other parts of the form.
    Does anyone know of a way to do this?
    I would appreciate any help! Thankyou

    Go to Form Edit mode, and then you can select multiple fields either in the Fields list, or on the page itself (using Ctrl), or by holding down the mouse and dragging the selection square over them. Then just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the other page, and you'll get copies.
    Edit: This can only be done in Acrobat, though. Your title talks about Reader but you post is about Acrobat...

  • Saving a Fillable Form PDF in Illustrator

    I have a fillable form field PDF that I need to open in illustrator, edit(insert artwork), save as, and have it still have the fillable form feilds in reader and acrobat.
    Thanks!

    Once you have edited the artwork re-save as pdf. Open your fillable form field pdf and choose Document - "replace form". Choose the NEW pdf and you should have the old fields with the new artwork.

    Not sure why you'd post this in the forum for PDF Pack, a subcription service...?
    Please also indicate the exact symptoms in Reader, and which version of Reader, rather than replying on everyone getting the same results as you.

  • Fillable forms in Portfolio using Mobile Reader App

    I have created a Portfolio that includes fillable forms. When opening the portfolio on the desktop I'm able to double click and open the form as it's own document and use it as designed... BUT when I open the portfolio on my tablet, it doesn't allow me to open the form outside of the portfolio which in turn won't let me complete it.
    We wouldl ike to distribute out to our sales force a compiled portfolio of all their marketing pieces and well as any forms they may need in one portfolio, which works great for everything but the forms.
    It there a step in the design process that I'm missing or a setting that I have to turn on to allow the Mobile Reader the ability to use the form or possibly a work around?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not really looking for the Flash Player support, but a way to distribute 1 file instead of 25. I also want to have the ability to jump from one document to another without having to go through page by page. At least with the portfolio, all of the docs are organized nicely in one place.
    Do you have any suggestions on another way to do this?
