Submiting Forms in Adobe Reader

I have installed a submit button on a form using Acrobat Pro 9, I can submit the form using pro but not reader what would cause this

In order to be able to attach a file in Reader the PDF needs to have special
permissions that can only be enabled using an expensive product called Adobe
LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Problems submitting form with Adobe Reader X?

Our agency created a PDF fillable form, and recently three respondants using Adobe Reader X (on PCs) have contacted us to say that the submit button is not working and they are unable to save the contents of the form to a file on their computer. The Forms Central Forum had said Adobe 8.0 or higher would support the fillable form, so we are surprised to be running into this. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found the solution? Is there a step we are missing? Thank you!

@melissasnider : make sure that the form filler are using Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or Acrobat Mobile to fill up the form. Any other PDF viewers doesn't support the submission functionality. More information can be found here : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653.
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.

Filling out a form in adobe reader

Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
Thanks
tutorben

That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

Cannot open a PDF form in Adobe Reader 7

Hello
I have developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. The form has java script embedded in it to do validations. The form has Usage Rights enabled and works well versions 8 and 9. However, when I open the form in Adobe Reader 7, I am getting an error message asking me to download a higher version. When I view the form properties in LiveCycle Designer for this form, I have the following settings:
XDP Preview form: Acrobat 7 (static PDF form) under defaults tab.
Under compatibility tab, I have the following settings:
Form Type: Acrobat 8 (static PDF form)
Text Formatting: Version 7
Event model: Version 7.
Much appreciate if someone could tell me how to make this form compatible with Adobe Reader 7.

thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
Appreciate your quick response.

Free way to dynamically build a form that adobe reader can fill out?

It's 2008 and we don't have a open, free way to dynamically build a pdf form that adobe reader can populate with data? Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing? Does this make sense to anybody?

> Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing?
That seems to me the way economics works. People charge for things
that other people are prepared to pay for. It's no good trying to
charge for things that nobody will pay for.
>Does this make sense to anybody?
Adobe's shareholders, I would think, who will sack Adobe's management
if they do not make money.
By the way, the PDF specification is open. If you want something for
free, why not implement it and share it with the world, who will
surely be pleased. (You will not be able to implement a form that
Reader can save, however, this is based on trade secrets).

Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

Sumbitting Forms in Adobe Reader

I am unable to submit my form using Adobe Reader. When I hit the submit button, I am prompted to choose a desktop mail application or internet mail application. I choose desktop and my Outlook account opens. I see the file attached; however when I hit send, the message closes and I am returned to the original form. I return to outlook but don't see anything in my sent file or my outbox. The form owner has also told me that they have not received my responses.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling reader, and I also tried repairing reader. My co-work who users reader only and outlook had no problems.
Any ideas?

Figured it out … something to do with having 2 Outlook profiles loaded on my computer. Even though I was logged into my personal email profile, the file was being stored in the second profile’s outbox. As soon as I logged into the alternate profile, the form was sent.
I’m not sure how to change which profile forms will be sent from, but at least we know where the file went.
Thanks again for your help!!

Filling in forms with adobe reader in firefox on ubuntu64

Hi
I am trying to fill in pdf forms with adobe reader 8.12 in firefox 3.03 and ubuntu64 8.04.
The forms display in firefox and I can check boxes, but when I try to select a text box I am unable to type. I can enter text by right clicking on the box and pasting. I also cannot use tab to move between boxes.
If I save a pdf to disk and open it with adobe reader then I can enter text and cycle through boxes with tab.
Sometimes I am unable to load pdfs in firefox that I have viewed before. When I click on the link a blank page is displayed. I can open them if I set firefox to open them externally with acroread rather than in the browser window.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

It's completely up to the IRS to create a form where the information fits in the field. There is nothing you can do with Reader since it is simply what it is called, a reader.
For you to change the document properties would require using the full version of Acrobat.

Adding attachments to Reader enabled forms in Adobe reader

I am creating a form for a user where they need to add an attachment to the form from Adobe Reader.
They also need to save the form locally, as this is a low volume usage, approx. 100 uses in total the rights are being enabled in Acrobat Professional 8.0
Functionality all works fine until the form is reader enabled and the script no longer functions.
the script being used is as follows
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.importDataObject("Strategic Research Plan");
var d = oDoc.getDataObject("Strategic Research Plan");
app.alert("The name of the file you attached is: " + d.path);
I have seen some comments indicating the file system cannot be accessed when rights have been applied, does anyone know if this is the case? or if there is a way to make this work.
this is being done with Professional 8 and Reader 7.02 or later
Any comments will be appreciated!

Hi Pat,
Yes I was using Firefox 19 indeed. This certainly fixed it.
Thanks for the help!

Barcoded forms using Adobe Reader

Hi,
As previous discussion started by me, we have developed a Barcoded form for our work process.
It's use to be succesful filling & editing barcoded form with Adobe Acrobat reader 9.3 after we license the form in Livecycle.
But just know the reader fails to read the barcoded form.
After the user fills details on the form, the barcode field dissapear from the screen (blank grey spot).
Is this because of another licensing process needed? Or it is only a technicality problem.
Thanks & regards,
Raja

I have the same problem as Raja. And it does not help to reduce the amount of information in the barcode. The barode field stil turns gray in Adobe Reader 9.
The strange thing is that there are no problems when I open and fill out the form in Adobe Reader 7.

Cannot complete form using Adobe Reader - Mac OS X 10.6.8

I have been using Adobe Reader to complete forms for my Bank for more than 9 months without any problems. I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Mac. I recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and this is the first time I've tried to use Adobe Reader since the upgrade. Today when I opened my form using Adobe Reader I cannot select and type in any of the text fields. Trying to click inside a text box simply seems to 'select' the entire page.
I checked online but could not find any compatibility issues. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very simple that I should have done but have no idea what that could be.
I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what my problem might be.
Cheers
Tricia

Thanks for responding Ankit. No, I saved the form to a folder on my desktop and I open it using the Adobe Reader app. It has always worked without a problem before. I checked my husband's iMac (which has the same saved form on his Desktop). He is also running OS X 10.6.8. On his machine it opened without a hitch so I used his computer to fill in the form and print it out. Obviously, if it works on his computer and he's also using 10.6.8 it's not related to the upgrade.
I trashed my copy of Adobe Reader and have re-downloaded the app. Will install it and see whether it now works or if the problem persists. Will post back the results.'
Cheers
