Saving PDF Fill in document

I have created a PDF fill-in document. My clients are having trouble saving their work. How can they save their work?

We had a similar issue with a few of our customers who did not want to buy software to save data in the form and we do not currently have the latest version of Acrobat. The work around was to find a pdf creator for the customers that allows them to print to a pdf. The one we tested was PDF Creator from Sourceforge.
In our scenario we have a pricing catalog with our dealer costs. Our dealers wanted to fill in their selling prices for their customers without haveing to buy Acrobat. We created the form fields using Acrobat. They would fill in their retail prices and print to a pdf to save the data they filled in as a new pdf..

How do I change a document that I have saved as a PDF file in Documents? I can get it to OPEN but can't do anything to it.

How do I change a document that I have saved as a PDF file in Documents........I can open it but can't do anything with it.

A PDF is really an electronic print of your document & is not intended for future editing. You should always save a copy of the original document in the program that created it & use that for edits. You can then export or print the revised document to PDF, again saving the original.

Modification to pdf files not saved in the original document

The modification to pdf files are not saved in the original documents (e.g. in My Documents) but a new file is created in Download\Adobe Reader and for every saving I do a new file (e.g. -1, -2, ..) is created. Is that normal? If yes, it is really annoying.

Thanks

No, it is not a read only file and I can modify it. The problem is that the modifications are not saved with the same name in the original (e.g. in My Documents) folkder but in a different one (Download\Adobe Reader) and for every saving I do a new file (e.g. -1, -2, ..) is created.

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Saving as PDF, from Word documents - not good quality?

Why is it that when i create letterheads, adn i save as pdf this word document, it comes out such poor quality?
Is there a setting to save with high quality output from acrobat, word to pdf or also how about print pdf?
Is anyone able to help us out?
Thankyou,

You are on the Illustrator forum how does this relte to illustrator?
Are you ceating artwork in Illustrator and then inserting it into Word?
This is what I suggest Visit the Acrobat Forum or a Microsoft Word forum if there is one and ask there.
Or you can purchase ID or Illustrator and use them to create your letterhead.

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

Attached secondary PDF fill-able form Non-savable

I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form...Help Please
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
I have tried to save the attachment as extended but that has not worked and also if done before inserting than the return hyperlink to the parent document will not connect because editing in not allowed.
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

You can't. Before Reader 11, you could prevent Reader users from saving by not Reader-enabling the form, but users with Acrobat, Reader for iOS, and some non-Adobe PDF viewers could fill-in and save. Reader 11 now allows filled-in forms to be saved even if the document does not include usage rights.

Saving a filled-in secure form in Reader?

Apologies if this has been covered somewhere in the forums. I've just not been able to find anything that answers this...
I've created a form for a client in Acrobat 9 Pro. Security is set to allow printing and "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields." My problems begin when opening the form in Reader X.
The instructions in Reader says "Click 'Sign' to fill out and sign this form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'"
I click "Sign" and fill-in the form fields. However, "Done Signing" never turns live in the sidebar. It remains grayed-out. The only option available is to "Send Signed Document" using Adobe's EchoSign system. However, doing so simply sends a blank form, with none of the fields filled-in.
Save As... doesn't appear to be an option either, as it will only save a blank copy of the form.
How does a user fill-in and save a secured form in Reader X? Will I have to remove all security from the form altogether? Or is a user doomed to have to use EchoSign...which apparently only saves a blank version?
Side observation: That sidebar is very confusing to the user. What's "Add Text" for? It could easily be assumed that the user needs to click that in order to fill-in the fields. And, there's no need for anyone to sign or "Place Signature" in this form. How can a user avoid this altogether?

If it needs to be saved with Reader, the document has to be Reader-enabled. To do this with Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
The EchoSign related stuff in Reader should be ignored for a form like this.
Note that Reader 11, which will be released shortly, is able to save a non-enabled form, but not if the form uses digital signatures. If it does, it will need to be Reader-enabled.

Adobe Xi 11.0.10 not printing saved pdfs

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Adobe Reader XI was automatically updated to the Dec 2014 version 11.0.10 MUI. Since then I am unable to print any newly saved pdfs nor any of my old pdfs that I have been printing for years. I AM able to print pdfs if taken directly from the web and not saved first. It is not about my printer, I have both downloaded the most recent driver as well as tried printing to a different printer. It is tax season and I can't print pdf IRS forms. HELP!
After selecting from the print dialog box, regardless of what parameters I select, I get a window that says "Could not be printed" and an OK box which I click then a window that says "There are no pages selected" (but there are, I've tried selecting individual pages as well as print all) and another OK box.

THANK YOU pwillener! I tried your first suggestion (view documents to Never) and it didn't seem to work (but I hadn't restarted, so not sure it had taken effect). After I did your second suggestion (disable protected mode) I rebooted my machine and VOILA I was able to print and fill in pdfs again. Thank you SO VERY much!!!!

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
Screen cap from Illustrator:
Screen cap of PDF:
Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
Thanks for looking!

Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

Problem saving pdf from preview

Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.
12" powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document. Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens. I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now. It makes no sense.
When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat. I'm stumped. I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet. I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

Hi Sara
From the document
        When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
        There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
        I am logged in as you can see.
        When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
        There is no word document there.
        As you can see I have tried this more than once.
I just don’t know what to do from there.
Hope you can help

PDF Fill-in forms with Digital Signatures - LDAP, Roaming ID's

Hello, my organization is trying to be more "Green" by taking regular PDF documents that use to be printed, filled in by hand, signed and then routed... To a PDF fill-in form that contains a Digital Signature Block. I can easily and successfully create PDF fill-in forms, where Im running into an issue is with the Digital Signatures.
I can easily create a Digital Signature that is stored on my local computer and sign documents then forward them via email on to the recipient. However, what we would like and have been failing and making happen is to set up a signing server where the signer can fill out the PDF form and then sign the document by pulling their digital signature from a Directory Server, in our case LDAP or Active Directory.
From the information that I have found on the web I know this can be done without use of expensive third party applications. However, I have not found information on how to do this other then this simple 3 line instruction which did not work for us. - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0w/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e501 02bd615109794195ff-7d96.html
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?
