The filling of form fields is not supported

I created a fillable pdf with the 30 day trial and am trying to load onto our Wordpress website. I am receiving this message when I attempt to open the file and test, "This pdf contains fields. The filling of form fields is not supported." Help.

Your PDF is in web space. That means that to access it you have to use a browser. Today many browsers have a built-in PDF reader that is, well, less than adequate.
Some resources that may help.

" This PDF document contains forms. The filling of form fields is not supported" -help?

I need to fill in & submit online forms but I keep getting the above message. I realise I can view and fill in the forms in an adobe window, but I need to do this online, and it is a secure website with the form imbedded. Is there any way I can have the "filling of form fields" supported so I can do this, please?

To switch from the less full featured built-in viewer to Adobe's Acrobat plugin, see the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Can you get it working?

Error message: "This PDF document contains forms. The filling of form fields is not supported."

Hello, I am running with this operating system: Microsoft windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 3
Just downloaded the newest version of Adobe reader
Using an updated version of Firefox.
There is an online form that I must fill out in adobe reader online... I could download it, but then I would have to FAX or mail it in, as apposed to directly sending it to the organization it is from via a "SUBMIT" button at the end of the form... I do not have a printer.
Thank you for any help you can give.

Do you use the Firefox PDF viewer, or the Adobe PDF plugin? The Firefox PDF viewer is incompatible with many modern PDF features.

Setting "Filling of Form Fields" document property to "Not allowed"

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Forms, and I want to set the property "Filling of Form Fields" as "not allowed" in the pdf documents it renders (that property
can be found in the "Document Properties" window of Adobe Reader, under the Security Tab).
Is there any way to set it , in the server (using the EJBClient class that renders the form) or
in the client (via javascript)?.
Thanks

You should be able to set this on your XDP file from within Designer. Go to File-->Form Properties
and you'll see a PDF security tab there with the same options you have in Reader.

Filling of form fields changing depending on how PDF is opened, why?

First of all, here is the error message that I am trying to deal with:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Software & PDF details:
Adobe Reader 8. V8.1.1
PDF Producer: Toolkit http://activepdf.com
PDF Version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
The PDF is set to with:
Filling of form fields: Allowed
After investigation I have found that:
If I open the file by double clicking, I am able to fill in the fields and save without any problems.
If the file is opened as a result of a software process trigger (which is what I actually want to achieve), the "Filling of form fields" is changed to "Not Allowed". This then results in the error message described above.
Also, I have another PDF with exactly the same settings as above (PDF version and Producer etc), which successfully generates as a result of the software process trigger. This file that works does not change the "Filling of Form Fields" value.
So, my question is, why would a particular PDF change the "filling of form fields" value depending on how it is opened?

Ok, that is a useful result, telling us a lot.
Some background you need. Reader 8 CANNOT SAVE FILLED IN FILES normally. To be able to save them they must be specially prepared. This is called "Reader enabling". (In your original message, "rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader") To prepare a file Acrobat can be used, or a server product which has had many names but is currently LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If this is not done, the form cannot be saved, whatever its origin.
Now, a file may not be changed/damaged in even the slightest way after this preparation. This will produce the message seen.
So, your test seems to show
- the original file is OK, undamaged
- by the time the file is delivered from the database to the user it has been damaged/changed.
So, you now have a path to pursue through the software.
(To clarify: this only applies if you used Windows Explorer to save the file, NOT any save function in Reader; if you saved in Reader please repeat the test with Windows Explorer).

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

I have a user on Adobe Reader X. whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

This PDF document contains forms. The filling of forms is not supported.

I get this message when I attempt to open a password protected document. "This PDF document contains forms. The filling of forms is not supported." It won't even let me enter the password. What do I do?

Hi stephenh20710301,
Could you please let me know if you are using the latest version of Reader i.e 11.0.10
Ask the PDF creator or if you are the creator, open the PDF in Acrobat XI (latest version) and choose "File> Save as Other> Reader Extended PDF> Enable more Tools"
Let me know if this helps.

Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

Hello,
Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2? When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes. Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine. As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2. Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment. When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable. I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

From the menu bar, select
Edit ▹ Substitutions
and uncheck Text Replacement.

The feature: "Report part gallery" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.

Struggling trying to get off the ground on same basic reporting functionality - I have a report that basically just dumps out the contents of a table for now. When I attempt to publish the report, I get "The feature: "Report part gallery"
is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services." for both the single param I am trying to define for the report and the Tablix report part. What
can I do with this version of Reporting Services? Ultimately, I need to create a few very simple reports and then be able to display them in a UI developed in Visual Studio 2013 via a Web Form. It seems that Visual Studio 2013 does not
offer a report viewer so that is another issue entirely (hoping the one for 2011 will work). I am just trying to design and publish a few simple reports right now and can't even get past that right now.

Hello,
What's the version and edition of SSRS did you used?
Report Part Gallery is only available in Standard Edition and above. If you using SSRS express edition, you can try to create a subreport which ccontain the Tablix report part content, and then add the subreport in other reports to meet the similar requirement.
You can refer to the following blog about compare Subreport with Report Part.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2314/ssrs-report-parts-versus-sub-reports-faq/
As for display SSRS report in Visual Studio, you can using the ReportViewer controls in Visual Studio.

Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

Hi,
I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks,
s.p

The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.

Creating Worksheets with Fill-In Form Fields

What is the best application for creating worksheets with fill-in form fields? The worksheets will be emailed to my clients for completion. Once completed they need to be able to save them to their computer and/or email them back to me. What application will they have to have in order to fill in and save the PDF?

In short, you will need Acrobat to create the forms. They only need the free Reader to fill them in and save them.

How do I received the filled out form via email? After the user hits SUBMIT, I'd like to receive the filled out form via email.

Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version. Has there been a fix or patch to this issue or do I have to convert back to CS4 to open the file?

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...
