Three questions re Acrobat 9 Std fillable forms

I am creating 2 fillable forms in Acrobat 9 that I want to post as links on my website. Data will be sent to Acrobat.com for collection. My questions are:
(1) How do I get the link(s) to post on my website?
(2) Is there a limit as to how much data can be sent to Acrobat.com?
(3) Can we send our notification emails separately (just through our email client) notifying recipients of the links on the website?
Thanks ahead.

As I got no responces from the online community and our call to Adobe didn't net a solution, I did a complete re-Install. So far the problem hasn't been replecated.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro - Fillable Form

    Attempted to create fillable form from Excel document.  Received message as follows:
    Adobe Live Designer
    Designer was unable to locate critical application files.  Please shut down Designer and run the installation (found under Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel).  Choose to 'Repair' the installation in order to restore the missing files.
    After clicking OK, I received the following message:
    Unable to load local library.
    I closed everything.  Reopened Adobe Acrobate 8 Pro.  Run the installation recommended and tried my project again.  Received the same messages indicated above plus a new one:
    Adobe Live Cycle Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close. 
    So I have no been able to create a fillable pdf.  Anyone have a solution?

    while in excel spread sheet go to file save as and click on PDF, it will convert your form to the adobe version. Then you will have to program all the fields you want to be typed in.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 - Fillable Forms

    I have adobe acrobat Pro 8.  I work for a real estate company and have made all of our contracts fillable and have uploaded them to our Intranet.  Our agents will fill these forms out and send them to their clients for review.  Is there a way for the agent to fill out the form and then some how save it so that the client is not able to make any changes?? 

    Here are some previous topics where I've discussed this approach in a bit more detail:

    Note that neither of these set the default value as I suggested, but that would just be a single additional line of code. If you need someone to set this up for you, feel free to contact me offline.

  • Can an Acrobat Pro DC fillable form have a submit by email button that works in all browsers?

    Last time I attempted to make an online fillable pdf form the submit (to email) button wouldn't work in all browsers.
    Has this been addressed in Acrobat Pro DC?
    What is the best way to obtain a successful result?

    Two issues may affect the ability to successfully receive the PDF submission:
    First, the built-in PDF "Viewers" lack the ability to submit PDF form and form data, viewers are not compatible with Live-Cycle XFA PDFs, and they lack Extended Reader Rights proprietary to Adobe Software. End-users will need to disable the default built-in viewer, and enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer on the default browser.
    Visit the following website to learn how to enable Adobe Reader:  Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
    Second, submitting to an email address may not send; because, the default client-side email may not be configured correctly. To bypass client-side email software you can set the submit button action to point an URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.net. The script can take the submission and send using SMTP account without the need for OUTLOOK or web-mail.
    Visit the following website for online server-side script examples:

  • Acrobat 9 Pro fillable form used in website

    I created a form in 9 Pro, and I attempted to enable it to be viewed in Reader, but I got a message saying "this form cannot be enabled for Acrobat Reader."  I'm not sure why.  When I insert the form into my website, the link (in IE and Firefox) starts to open, but hen an error message appears saying that the file is corrupted and cannot be opened.  What do I need to do to this form to make it accessable through my website so that people can open it, complete it, and submit it back to me via email?

    When I've had this happen, I've started over by creating a new base document and copying the fields and any code over to the new PDF. In cases I'm familiar with, it usually turns out to be a problem with fonts, such as them not being embedded. In any case, you probably won't be able to correct the situation without creating a new form.
    If you do create a new base document, you can try doing a "Document > Replace Pages", which keeps the form fields in place and just replaces the underlying page contents.

  • 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.

  • I want to create a fillable form using the templates that were in adobe acrobat

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble finding the templates that were offered in the previous version of Adobe. Before, when I wanted to create a form, I could simply click "create form" select from template, and I had access to dozens of varieties of forms. Now when I try the same thing, it only lets me scan in a paper form. I don't have a paper form. That's why I'm trying to make one.
    Any advice would be appreciated, I have tried to search for my question but the help function keeps redirecting me back to "how to prepare a fillable form" and tells me to use a paper document. Why did this simple task become so difficult all of a sudden?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards
    Michael

    That was the FormsCentral designer software. Adobe has decided to discontinue FormsCentral, so it wasn't included with Acrobat DC.
    The usual way to create a form in Acrobat is to create the layout in a program such as InDesign or Word and create a PDF. You can then add the fields in Acrobat, which can attempt to automatically add fields where it thinks they belong.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional-Fillable Form Fields Disappeared

    Urgent Reply Needed --- After spending from 3 hours creating Fillable Form Fields - which I have done many times - the most recent form I just completed had all forms fields except one missing when I reopened the Adobe Acrobat document. How did this happen? How can I prevent it happening again as I have never seen this happen before?
    thanks - Bonnie

    Bonnie,
    You'll get a much quicker answer asking this question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum is Acrobat 3D Feature specific, and as such, only has people looking for 3D related issues. You'll get a much quicker answer on the other forum.

  • Why can't users save data in fillable form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have everything working great.  When I send it to users they can fill in all of the information, but they can not save the data in the form.  I have followed these instructions before I send the form to the users:  (Acrobat Pro) Type in non-fillable forms (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    The form includes text fields, radio buttons, e-signatures (x).
    I have researched for days, spoke to countless "Adobe Chat Room Techs" and still have no idea what I am doing wrong.
    I am so desperate for help.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer & Acrobat X, and saved it.
    However, when I open it up with Adobe Reader XI, I get the following message
    What am I doing wrong?
    This used to be a relatively simple process, and now I'm completely confused with how I enable saving forms that others have filled out.
    If I'm understanding what has been written in this thread previously, this is now normal functionality that doesn't require special settings like it had previously.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

    I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
    Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable.  I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
    One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK. 
    Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female.  If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

    Thanks for explaining that.  I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
    For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property?  I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
    Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
    As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
    This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there.  Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me.  If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
    I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature.  So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using.  So if I want to  make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
    I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
    Thanks for your continued help!

  • How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

    I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient.  How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information.  I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank.  What can I do?  Thank you for your help.

    Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

  • Issue while changing fields in a fillable form PDF (Acrobat 10.1.4 Pro)

    Good Afternoon!
    This is my first time posting here, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
    I am an IT technician trying to support a user who is trying to change a PDF into a fillable form using Acrobat 10.1.4.  She is trying to use the wizard as shown in the image below:
    When she uses this function, Acrobat goes through and automatically detects all possible fields and creates them for her.  Below is an image of the result:
    What she is trying to do is change some of the field types - specifically, she wants to change the box next to "Adult/non-college request" to a check box.  She right clicks on this field to change it, and when she does, Acrobat simply closes.  No error comes up, and she is not given the option to save the document - when she opens it again, it is an ordinary PDF.  In addition, if she creates the form, and then only tries to save the form (without trying to change the fields), Acrobat again simply closes itself.  However, she is able to manually create fillable fields if she does not use the wizard at all, and the document functions normally.
    Any help with this issue would be most appreciated.

    Save early and often.
    I would save the result right after the wizard has made its errors.
    One needs to delete the form field and then manually add the correct type of field. If you want that check box and the next to be mutually exclusive, one gives them the same name and sets the export value for each check box to a unique value.
    I edit forms by opening the "Tools => Forms => Edit fields".

    I do not like the wizards and create forms by adding all form fields manually according to my planned form design.

  • Fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro to create a fillable form from one of my word documents. I have a field with 7 drop down boxes. Within the drop down, there a 4 choices and each choice has a numerical value.
    i.e. One drop down box is: Safety and the 4 choices are:
    Critical event = 20
    Documented near-miss = 15
    Risk = 10
    No safety issue = 0
    I want the user to choose one and then have the numerical value autopopulate
    There are 7 of these drop downs that will have a grand total.
    Is there a way to do this in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    I looked up a javascript but I don't think I did it correctly.
    I have a very basic calculation:
    Safety: Dropdown list containing:
         Critical = 20
         Documented near-miss = 15
         Risk = 10
         No safety issue = 0
    Next to the dropdown I have a text field text box where the user can enter the numerical value (0, 10, 15, 20)
    Then I have a Total Score text field text box where I used the "Calculate" tab, "Value is the sum", "Simplified field notation": then I picked the 7 fields
    This returns the total of the entries in the 7 boxes
    Just seems like there should be a simpler way.

  • Unable to read info on fillable form created in Acrobat Pro XI

    I created a fillable form using Acrobat XI Pro that our office staff use.  Our field staff cannot view the information on the fillable fields from their mobile devices.  They can from their laptops and computers - Mac or Window.  I just got off the phone with Support and I was told that this is still under "testing" and that they are not supporting it at this time.  I just updated from Acrobat 9 Pro and did not have this kind of problem before. Can you confirm that there is no solution at this time?

    What PDF viewer are they using on the mobile devices? It won't work with the default viewer for iOS for example, because it does not support forms. Adobe Reader for iOS and Android have limited support for forms, while other PDF viewers have more or less than Reader.

  • Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

    I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good.  I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad.

    If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save.  If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved.  If I select “Save”, the modification is saved.  So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save.  Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
    With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit.  So there is no prompt to Save on close.  The modifications are saved automatically.
    If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
    Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
    You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open.  Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user.  This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
    I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.
