Sharing an Adobe Acrobat XI Form on Shared Drive

What type of notification will a user get if they go to open an Adobe Acrobat XI fillable form, which is on a shared network drive, and someone else is using it? Is it similar to what one would see with a Word document...that the document is "read only" and you have the option of being notified when the form is available?
thank you

Ah I see what you mean. By "without prior warning" I mean there is no warning when opening or at any time prior to the message from failing to save.

  • Moving adobe acrobat x pro to larger drive D (off ssd2 drive C) - what are the steps needed

    I have Win7, only 4 GB left on my SSD drive C and a large regular drive D. My programs are on drive C (which includes Master CS6 and Adobe acrobat X Pro) and documents/pictures are on drive D and I still need to clear out room on drive C. Before I buy a larger drive C SSD, can I :
    Move Adobe Acrobat X Pro program to drive D by uninstalling on drive C and reinstalling it on Drive D?
    Do I need to move the program CS6 Master collection to the same drive that adobe Acrobat X Pro exists?
    Does Adobe Acrobat X Pro need me to move any other programs from C to D in order to work - if uninstall on drive C and reinstall on drive D doesn't take care of all supporting files?
    if I am able to move Acrobat X Pro to drive D, will my documents know the path or is there a way to make sure that everything reroutes to drive D?
    Will Acrobat X Pro updates find the program if it is on drive D, or is there something to direct updates to the new location, if I am able to move X Pro to drive D?
    I need step by step examples, even though I know web design and xhtml/css/php/js coding, hardware and this kind of cleaning up intimidates me.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    You can sometimes move software by uninstalling and reinstalling. However ON NO ACCOUNT uninstall Acrobat that is part of Creative Suite, because it is a devil of a job to reinstall. Use only Creative Suite installer; not sure if it can install to another disk.
    If the software is installed to another location it should just work with nothing to fix.
    But the savings may be much smaller than you think. Only a little of the disk space used is in the selected disk. Some is in Common Files, which doesn't move, and much more is in the Windows Installer Database, which doesn't move.
    I would look for other savings than moving software.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Form doesn't distribute

    I created a pdf into an interactive form in Life Cycle Designer.  I can't get it to distribute.  When I click Distribute, then I select how I want to handle it, which is manually, then on the next dialoge box I enter the email, name, title and company, but the Next button doesn't work and I can't go forward from there.  I tried to distribute from the Adobe Acrobat software too, and I get the same results - the Next button doesn't work.  What can I do to correct this?  When people share, there is no email address in the 'to' section.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Form Duplicate text error

    Hello World!
    I work for a school with 200+ computers installed with **. The problem I'm having is when a user downloads a PDF form from our web page and goes to start inserting data in the fields the text just duplicates in all the boxes. If you try and delete the text from any of the boxes it delets everything. I've tried repairing the install by running the original installer file. I've even reinstalled a test system and still duplicate this error. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that will help you help me.

  • Adobe Acrobat - PDF Forms Comparison

    Dear Acrobat Users,
    I desperatly need your help on that one... We are using PDF Forms (created using Adobe LiveCycle), these forms are injected with XML Date using LiveCycle servers.
    We need to compare to these forms between each other, but the built-in compare tool in Acrobat X does not seem to handle PDF forms comparison.
    Do you know how we could proceed to compare the data entered in these forms ?
    We even tried using some software to do a Diff comparison on the XML data, but the problem with this scenario is that we cannot find a way to highlight the changes in the PDF form, once reinjected with the XML data (no way to control the formating from the data itsel e.g. using HTML code...)
    Thanks for your help...

    I'm wondering if there is any good books for a beginner who doesn't know

  • Adobe Acrobat - rename form field

    I'm a newbie to Automator but it seems like this should work. I need to automate the renaming of lots and lots of fields in a form. I started a workflow that opens the PDF. Then I used the "Record" button in Automator to watch me click on the Form menu bar item in Acrobat and select "Edit Form in Acrobat". I ran the workflow up to this point and it works fine. Then I use the "Record" button again and it watches me select a field in the form by clicking it. Again no problems. Finally I attempt to use the "Record" button to rename the field. It breaks every time. I try "Control Clicking" the field and selecting "Properties" from the contextual menu. Then renaming the field and clicking the close button. It breaks. I try selecting the Field and then clicking the Form menu bar item and selecting "Show Field Properties", renaming the field and clicking the close button. It breaks. I try double clicking the Field, which causes the Properties window to open, renaming the Field and clicking the close button. It breaks. What gives? If I can do this manually it seems like the Record functionality in Automator ought to be able to do it???? I'm running Snow Leopard and using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on a MacBook.

    OK it appears that selecting the field is what breaks the automation. If I set up the automation to click on the field or drag to select it the automation breaks. If I let the automation run and then move the mouse, the field that I selected in the automation gets dragged around the page. It's like I clicked on the field and held the button down so I could drag it. Same thing happens if I double click the field. Strange....

  • How to convert an Excel Formula to a Custom Calculation Script in a Adobe Acrobat 9 Form?

    Hello,
    I am not familiar whatsoever with Javascript and need some help in converting the following Excel Formula so that I can enter it into a Custom Calculation Script in a Adobe PDF Form. Here is the formula:
    =IF(E15<25.01,9.95,IF(E15<50.01,11.95,IF(E15<75.01,13.95,IF(E15<100.01,16.95,IF(E15<150.01 ,19.95,IF(E15<200.01,24.95,IF(E15>200.00,E15*0.125)))))))
    Where "E15" will be the text field named "Subtotal" on my Adobe PDF Form.
    Thank you for any help you can provide!

    Fortunately JavaScript has the 'switch' statement so nested if statements can be avoided.
    var E15 = this.getField("Subtotal").value;
    switch(true) {
    case (E15 < 25.01) :
    event.value = 9.95;
    break;
    case (E15 < 50.01) :
    event.value = 11.95;
    break;
    case (E15 < 75.01) :
    event.value = 13.95;13
    break;
    case (E15 < 100.01) :
    event.value = 16.95;
    break;
    case (E15 < 150.01) :
    event.value = 19.95;
    break;
    case (E15 < 200.01) :
    event.value = 24.95;
    break;
    case (E15 > 200) :
    event.value = E15 * 0.125;
    break;
    default:
    event.value = "";
    break;
    } // end switch;

  • How do I create a custom calculation script in a Adobe Acrobat XI form?

    I am building a time sheet.  Inside this time sheet i have two columns.  One column is labeled Hours and the other is labeled Hours Description.
    The fields are labeled under these columns as follows:
    Column Name      Hours          Hours Description
    Field Name          Hours1        HoursDesc1
    The user will input their hours in Numeric Field "Hours1" and will enter an abbreviation in Text Field "HoursDesc1", for example "A" for Administrative Leave or "C" for Compensatory.
    I want to build a script that if Text Field "HoursDesc1" equals "A" or "C" then display Numeric Field "Hours1", else equal 0.  If they enter anything other than "A" or "C", the result will be zero.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Custom calculation code for the text field in question:
    var desc = this.getField("HoursDesc1").value;
    if (desc=="A" || desc=="C")
         event.value = this.getField("Hours1").value;
    else event.value = 0;

  • HT2506 How do I get Adobe Acrobat to see/print pdf forms I've filled out in Preview

    I've been working in Preview and filling out Adobe Acrobat created forms according to instructions from the help in Preview.  However, whent these filled forms are submitted to someone and opened in Adobe Acrobat, they can neither see what I've filled out nor can it be printed (all that comes out is a blank form).  How can I properly fill out the forms so that Acrobat can see and print the filled out forms.

    Just as I suspected, Preview is mucking up the DD Form 1351-2 form. I filled it out, saved it in Preview and opened it in Acrobat Pro and the fields were blank. If I open it in Reader, I can fill out the form, save it, and open it in Acrobat Pro just fine, all data intact.
    I don't know why Preview does such a bad job with forms - I just know that as an AcroForms designer, I always suggest using Reader to fill in forms.
    BTW, I also tried it in Windows 7, using Reader and Acrobat Pro, and it worked as expected.

  • Please Help me! Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable form questions!Desperate!!

    Hello!
    Hopefully can quickly answer these questions because I need to get this out by tomorow night :/ I am new to creating Adobe Acrobat Fillable forms, my yearbook adviser wanted to make the yearbook/journalism application a pdf fillable form so I went with the flow. Now I am having issues. I created it with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 if that helps
    1. How do I get individual checks? they all check on the same answers, I need individuality lol. I know radio buttons is jus one chance so thats why I decided against them
    2. How does one do a submit button exactly?
    3. Somehow, I got to the step to distribute the forms but it says error licensing issue? Any ideas?
    Iplease give all an any thoughts on my questions you have no idea how much I appreciate any help!    

    If using check boxes, you need to give each a different field name if you want them to behave independent of one another. You can create a group where at most on in the group can be selected, similar to a radio button group, by giving each the same field name but different export value.
    For #2, it depends on the details of what you want to do. A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server or to initiate an email with the form data for the entire form attached to the email. If you want Reader users to be able to save the filled-in form and/or submit the entire filled-in PDF, the form has to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat.
    For #3, please provide the exact error message.

    Hi there,
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. While I can't help with any issue you may be having with Acrobat 9 (the server error you're seeing is a problem with Acrobat desktop software, not Acrobat.com), I can recommend that you sign in at Acrobat.com and just click "Upload"; then you can choose the relevant file from your computer and upload it using the native interface of Acrobat.com. You'll likely have more success with that process. Let me know if you have any trouble using Acrobat.com and I'll be happy to help.
    Best,
    Rebecca
