Saving form as fillable pdf

actually have two questions, first can I save my form as a fillable pdf to email others and second how do I arrange my form to have more than one field on a single line? For instance I am creating a credit application
and want to be able to say put the phone number field alongside the business name and so forth...thanks !!

We just added the ability to distribute your form as a fillable PDF form and have all of the data submitted back to FormsCentral. I wrote up a forum post that explains it in more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/994199
Give it a try and please send us your feedback on it.

Saving to non-fillable PDF

Instead of saving as a fillable pdf, I want to save my form as a static pdf for printing and/or including in white papers as an example. I'd like it to look the same as when I'm creating it in FormCentral with help text symbols, etc. Is there a way to do this, perhaps through the paid version? I have tried to take screenshots of my FormCentral design, but the resolution just isn't good enough.

We do not support exporting into a flat PDF but you can export to a PDF file without a submit button (see under the File menu). We never show (?) in the PDF. The help text is shown when you hover over the field with the mouse.

Web form to fillable pdf

Hello
I need your help on this trouble : filling a pdf online
What i want to do :
- prepare fillable pdf files on acrobat pro (already done)
- fill the fields on a web form
- get the filled pdf online
Is there a way to make that with adobe suite or maybe with another external software ?
Thanks

Sofia,
What you're describing is a server-side programming, where web form data populates PDF template - essentially, generating PDF based on user input. We've done similar work using PHP and I'm not aware of any canned solution that can do it without custom coding.

Saving & Renaming a Fillable PDF

Is there a way to save and rename a fillable PDF form on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 using Android version 4.0.4 I creadted a fillable form from Adobe Pro XI for my techs to use while servicing a A/C system.
Jim

Hi,
When you open the form pdf in your galaxy tab, first rename the document by following the steps below:
In documents tab ->Press Manage on top right->Choose the file you want to rename->Click on rename icon, 3rd from top left->Type the new name-> Press Done.
Now open this file->fill the form->Go back to documents-> Open the pdf again. You will see all your changes in your form.
Let me know if this helps.

Can't export form to fillable PDF or move to online!

I have been messing with Forms Central for the past two hours trying to get my form to export. After reading I assumed it was due to not having a paid version so I just subscribed for the Basic plan and I still can not export anything. The error message I am recieving is the most unhelpful error, "Acrobat.com encountered an unexpected error."
This occurs when I try to export as a PDF or when I try to move it online. I have tried running in Admin mode, updating flash but I am still having no luck! Please help.
EDIT: UGHH my email is my screen name.. Is it possible to change that as well? I don't want a flood of spam heading my way.

In that case I will need more information from you.
What is the version of your desktop version of FormsCentral?
Did you download FormsCentral or you are using the one that came with Acrobat?
After you signed in, did you get an update message? When did you do your last update?
If it is possible, would you mind give me your email address by sending a message to [email protected]?
Thanks

How do I convert a Microsoft Word file to a fillable PDF?

Please See the below link : http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/convert-existing-forms-to-fillable-pdfs.html

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Fillable Forms to be saved as non fillable after filled

I need to distribute a fillable form to committee members to fill out. They then need to save these as non-fillable or normal? pdfs for passing on to non committee members.
I have created awesome forms that are reader extended but have no way to save these forms as non fillable. Print to .pdf? There has to be a more elegant solution

Hi Rahatawa,
How was the form created, if the form was created using LiveCycle Designer: Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF
And if is Acrobat form, you may try suggestion from this link: How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Under print production, under tool in Acrobat--> Flattener preview. Also, ::Form Field Flattening in Acrobat X

Still can't sign form created in Adobe X, saved as Reader Extended PDF, Additional Features enabled

I've been trying to make a form work in Reader with fillable fields and signature enabled. I want to give users the option of typing their information and using a choice of Pen Signature or Digital Signature. For some reason you can neither fill in the forms nor insert digital signature or use the Pen option to sign. All highlighted fields are just shaded boxes in Reader, not fillable.
After saving and reopening with Adobe X Pro, both security and document properties indicate the form allows fillable fields and signing but I get the following message when testing in Adobe Reader:
The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader,. To fill and sign this you need to print it out.
Document properties are set to No Security, with no restrictions and Edit>Preferences>Security>Digital Signatures has nothing ticked on the first page.
Digital Signatures Advanced Preferences are marked as Verification document specific, prompt if not available; Ignore document validation; Verify Signatures using Current Time.
Under Creation tab Default Method is Ask When I Sign. Default Signature Signing Format is locked at selecting between the 2 certificate standards - PCKS #7 - Detached and CAdES - Eaquivalent.
I've tried leaving out the digital signature verification which is, of course, impossible when there are Digital Signature fields in the document.
The goal is to be as paperless as possible but this sure isn't working if you have to print it out. And, of course, it can't be saved in Reader, either, to then try to fill in the forms.
Any and all answers are appreciated!

Thank you for the info, George. I have posted an example on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyiudku6pqm3kxf/rehire%20packet%20rev%20Mar%202013%20%28full%203 a3%29.pdf
I'm getting closer to resolving as at now text can be entered in non-signature boxes. Given who will be completing these forms I'll stick to e-signature rather than digital. Do I use a different form field for those or does the recipient plug that in from the Sign section in Reader?

Fillable PDF cannot be saved

Hi there. I'm using LiveCycel designer ES to create several fillable pdfs and save the fillable pdfs as static forms. I use acrobat X pro to enable reader extension in order for the users to type in data and save the form, however, the fillable pdf just cannot save the inputted data except the data inputted in the first field. What did I miss?
Thanks

Hi Pguerett,
Thanks for your reply. It's exactly what you think. The fields are, except the first field, all set to be no data binding. I reset them to the field names and they are new can be saved. Thanks a lot. By the way, I want to have one of the titles to be deleted by the user. I tried to use checkboxed (set to cross) to do the same but the highlight colour makes them "clouded" and the visual effect is not good. Any better ideas?

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?
