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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Saving a fillable PDF so that others cannot edit it

Hi,
I'm relatively new to using Adobe Acrobat pro, However i recently made a fillable PDF that i need to be able to fill out, then send to clients who can view it, print it but not edit it. Please can anyone advise me how to save the PDF once it has been filled in so others can see the information, but not change anything.
I use Mac if this makes a difference.
Many Thanks
Tom

In Acrobat X, first use Save A Copy on the file menu to remove the Reader extensions*, then you can flatten the form using a script or extension (e.g. I've got a free one here) - alternatively you run Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information and tick only the form fields box.
*You will need to manually open the copy you saved, it doesn't automatically update in Acrobat.
If you're not bothered about accessibility, you can also print the PDF back to PDF - a process we call refrying - which will flatten everything and remove scripts, metadata, calculations and hidden content (but in the process removes all your tags and structure).

Saving a fillable pdf

I want to create a fillable pdf. I need to be able to email the blank form to users. I need to be able to print the completed form w/out losing data. Would like to be able to email the completed form also, w/out losing data. I don' t need the form data in an xml file. Help! What software do I need?

You can use Acrobat to create the form. If you want pre-11 Reader users to be able to save and email a filled-in form, then the document needs to be Reader-enabled, which you can do with Acrobat. Reader 11 allows a non-enabled form to be saved, so there's no need to Reader-enable for those users unless you also need digital signatures.

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

How to allow a fillable PDF to be saved

I have a user that created a fillable PDF file. Now we want to send that out ot staff and allow them to fill it out and save a copy. How do we enable this feature? It currently only allows to print a filled out form or to save a blank copy.
Thanks,
Justin

In that case it's under Advanced>Extend features in Adobe Reader.
One thing to keep in mind that there is a limit of 500 uses for these forms. If they are using them internally and have less than 500 employees, they should be in the clear. You can send the form to 500 or less people and they can submit them an indefinite amount of times OR, you can send them to an indefinite amount of people but only collect the data from the form up to 500 times.

Saving to fillable pdf

I have created a form in forms central but cannot save to a fillable pdf. when i click on save as pdf form a very quick satus bar pops up and disappears i cannot find where the file is saved

Hi;
Are you using FormsCentral in a web browser or from the Desktop application that is included with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
If you are using a web browser please try another browser or refresh the browser page and see what happens. In a web browser you should get a "Download" dialog with a save button that brings up a FIle Save As dialog allowing you to choose the name and location for the PDF...
If you are using the Desktop application with Acrobat, Acrobat creates the PDF so if you have a dialog open in Acrobat that would "block" any new actions so make sure you close any open dialogs in Acrobat and try it again. Acrobat will create a PDF and then prompt you to save the file.
Let me know which you are using and how it goes.
Thanks,
Josh

Can't see info typed into fillable pdf: See Below

I created pdf forms using adobe forms central.
)    I have the pdf I created using FormsCentral on my desktop
)    I do a file save as pdf, so I can change the name of the document while still saving my blank original pdf document.
)    I write into my fillable saved as pdf doc and then email it to a coworker. The file size at this point is around 67 KB
)    This coworker opens up file and does a save as so they can rename it and save it to their desktop.
)    This coworker than adds information to the document by tying into the fillable pdf doc.
)    They email the document back to me
)    When I receive the document it is now 1 MB, Also I can only see what I wrote into the doc before I emailed it to her. However if I print the document everything she typed in shows up on the printed document. Or If I click in each field that you can type in the words or numbers she typed in show up but only in the field I’m clicking my mouse in
)    My question is would you say this is a user issue or an issue with the form itself, perhaps a bug.

Hey George, I emailed you the pdf docs. One using Windows Reader and One using Adobe Reader. It does appear that the fillable pdf docs do not work very well with windows reader. Windows Reader makes the file size much bigger and doesn't let people who don't use windows view info put into the file unless you print the doc or click in each space to view whats written. It does appear that the drop down menus and check boxes work in both adobe reader and windows reader.
Thanks,

Fillable pdf's returned by clients are readable only one line at a time

We have been emailing fillable pdf questionnaires to our customers for them to complete and return via email. When some of them have come
back, they are only viewable one line at a time, we need to highlight the fillable field that the customer completed so we can view their answer.
Does anyone know why this occurs and why it would be isolated to a few cases? Thanks!
George

They were probably filled-in and saved with the Preview application on the Mac. For more information and some approaches you can take to correct, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

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

Question re Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and distributing fillable PDFs

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and created a fillable PDF (with a great deal of help from George Johnson!!). I now find out that because of licensing constrictions I can only send and receive 500 fillable PDFs (or maybe it's a total of 500 sent and received fillable PDFs, it's unclear to me). After doing some research it seems that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended comes with LiveCycle. Does that mean that I can send out and receive more than 500 fillable PDFs? I can't find any documentation and it's too late to call Adobe tech, so just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head. Thanks much.

> When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
No.
