Troubles creating a form with Acrobat

I have created a form with Acrobat 9 Pro. However, when it is brought up with Acrobat Reader, the following message appears:
Sending data files by email: Please note, this form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file... However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember you cannot save a complete file of this form with Adobe Reader 9.
When the submit button is clicked, the following message is posted on a popup window.
Operation not permitted.
Here's the link to a form I am trying to get to work. It works fine if I use the Pro version, but the Reader version doesn't want to allow the form to be sent. http://www.drugfreedekalbcounty.info/pdf/interventionscholarshipform.pdf
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may have been improved with AA9, but at least up through AA8, Acrobat required the use of MAPI on the machine to deal with e-mail. If that has changed, then the other recommendation to use extended rights might meet your need. There is a 500 use limitation for the extended rights (more requires negotiation with Adobe). This may be a limitation that changed with AA9 Pro Extended.
The rights are not needed if the data file is sent and not the whole PDF. There is no need for the whole PDF since the data file can be opened in the original form document - giving the same result. Your observation that it works in AA9 for e-mail is making the assumption that everyone uses AA9. That is a dangerous assumption if you are developing a general use form. You should assume folks have back to AA7, or even AA5 (like I have on this machine). There are still a few that check in here on occasions with AA4. I have not seen an AA3 question for several years. Thus backward compatibility may be an issue, depending on your client base.
The cleanest way to work with forms is to submit to a web script. Then there is no question about the end result. The use of web scripts is even recommended for online html forms for much the same reasons. I was giving a heads up so that you have considered possible users that do not have the newest and best, assuming that the latter resolves the e-mail issue.

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER, THE IMAGES ARE BALCK BOXES!

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER THE IMAGES ARE BLACK BOXES.
THE FORM HAs (extend features to acrobat reader). THE FORM WAS DISTRIBUTED.
NON OF MY EMPOYEES CAN SEE THE IMAGES. WHAT'S WRONG? CAN YOU HELP?

However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Creating a form using Acrobat 9

I'm trying to create a form using Acrobat 9 and know how to insert check boxes and text fields but when I enter in data into the fields it copies it through the document. How can I create a field that I can cut and paste throughout the document but allow it to have separate data in it from the rest of the fields?

You'll need to rename all of the fields you copy & paste so that each one
of them has a unique name. Fields with the same name will automatically
have the same value.

Creating a Form in Acrobat Professional 8

I am attempting to create a fully-interactive PDF form, using an MS Word Document which I created using Word 2007 on my system, which is Windows Vista Home Premium. I want the colleagues to whom I send this form to be able to complete it on line, and return it to me by e-mail. I have tried to do this in 2 ways:
I have opened the MS Word document, clicked on Acrobat, Create PDF, and in the window entitled Save Adobe PDF file as: I selected Fully Functional PDF and indicated that the resulting file be saved on my Desktop. It appears that the process does complete, but I can find the resulting file NOWHERE on my system. I've searched in every way possible, and find only a shortcut to the new file, but not the file itself. I obtain an error message when I click on this shortcut!
I have also opened my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional software, and selected Create PDF, from file. I selected the correct file, and the conversion process began. After 10% of the conversion was complete, the following message appeared: "PDF Conversion process failed; please correct the error and retry". However, I have no idea what the "error" is, so I cannot comply!
The form I am working with is NOT a template, but one I have created. My needs are not met by any of the available templates available within the program. I am at a loss for a solution, and hope that someone on this forum can help me.

please delete me from your mailing list. tks.

Creating a form with a field that contains a simple math problem.

I am creating a form in Acrobat 9 Standard that contains a field that requires a simple math function (divide).
if (QuantityRow1 > 0)
ExtensionRow1 / QuantityRow1
Take the value input in ExtensionRow1 and divide it by the value in QuantityRow1. I have included an IF statement to prevent an error that occur if QuantityRow1 were equal to zero.
After inputting the data into the two fields I tab past the field where I expect to see my result and the field remains blank. I don't receive any error messages.
Any ideas? Thanks - jb

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time.

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Creating a Form with Report based on View

Hi All,
I wanted to create a form with report based on two tables so:
1. I created a view (called COMBO) based on two tables
2. I then created a form with report based on the view
Everything seemed fine thus far until I tried to edit existing records - I got the error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=2002082600001172, p_alt_rowid=REPATRIATION_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.NB: REPATRIATION_ID is the primary key of the Repatriation table. The other table is Applicant.
& when I tried to create a new record - I got the error:
ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.Someone please enlighten me!
Kind Regards
Kamo

Hello Kamo,
You need to create an 'instead of' (update/insert/delete) trigger on your view to process the inserts etc into the 'real' tables.

Reader Enabled Forms with Acrobat 8.0

Hi,
I am considering upgrading from 7Pro to 8Pro and need to confirm some aspects of the new features for applying reader rights to forms. I have a number of forms generated in Lifecycle Designer 7.1, where the user is using the Reader version to email the XML data.
If I reader enable these forms with Acrobat 8 Pro, will the User be able to still email the XML data and also save the completed form locally? In addition will it be possible to inport and export XML data into & out of Reader Enabled forms?
In addition do you know what the story is with "500 users of the forms"? Is is 500 per form over the lifetime of the form? Some of my forms are distributed to different Clients and I am not sure how this will work
Any help/guidance gratefully appreciated ;-)
Thanks, Niall

It should, yes. Can't confirm 100% as I haven't tried.

How to create a form with two column headings

I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
Thanks in advance

If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
Hopefully this helped,
- Jake

How to create a form with DW CS3?

Hi all,
I want to create a form to gather email, address information on a website. Question, can I do that using
DW CS3? and what else do I need in order to do that? I know there is more to it than just creating a form
with fields, that there is programing behind it. I use 1 and 1.com for my hosting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need a form to email processing script. Ask your host if they provide one you can use. If not and your server supports PHP, I highly recommend this one from DB Masters. It is safe, secure and with good spam prevention built in.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Both sections protected by different passwords.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Neither should be able to edit the others. Can different sections be password protected by different passwords? I'm thinking there might be an "official use only" function.

You can use 2 forms in one portfolio.
