Trying to create a fillable, savable, emailable PDF!!

I have been able to create a fillable, savable, emailable PDF, but when I have my peers send me the response via email it is unviewable by me. Can you please help?!?

What kind of file are you getting back (assuming Reader) -- PDF, FDF, or XML? If one of the 2 latter file types then use the Forms>Manage Data>Import after you open the basic form in Acrobat.

Creating a Fillable/Savable PDF: simple question?

Hello-
I'm new to Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer. I have just created my first form with fillable fields in LifeCycle to send to my company's clients for them to fill out, save the form with their responses in the fields for their own records, and then attach the completed PDF form to an email to send back to us with their responses in the fields. I cannot figure out how to do this. The closest I can come to this is putting a "Submit by Email" button in the form which generates and sends an XML document which is not what I'm looking for; I need the actual filled PDF form sent back to me from the client.
I'm sure this is an easy task, but I have been unsuccessful with figuring this out on my own or finding a post in the forum which clearly answers my questions.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro and LiveCycle Designer ES version 8
Can you help me? I'm lost.
Thanks-
Michael

Srini-
Thank you for your response, but I'm afraid I'm somewhat confused.
I opened your attached Send CC Email.pdf file in LiveCycle Designer to take a detailed look at it and found the setting you referenced under the Submit tab:
I understand this location and setting the Submit As field to "PDF".
I then opened your form itself to see if/how the submission would work:
This is where my confusion starts. When I click on the Send Email button in your example document, I only get an error message:
What was supposed to happen?
If you reference my original post, I'm looking for a way to create a PDF the user may 1.) Save electronically with the PDF document's fields filled for their own records and 2.) send the completed document back to my company with their responses.
I don't understand how your suggested solution is supposed to work to allow me to accomplish these two objectives.
What am I missing?
Thank you again-
Michael

Creating a Fillable/Savable PDF

Hey there,
I have created a fillable form but I need to make the form savable by the users.
What do I need to do?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.4.6 on a Mac OS Lion 10.7.2
Thanks in advance and happy holidays!!

You need to Reader-enable the document: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Will filled-in forms be returned by the users, and if so, how many users do you plan on distributing the form to?

Creating a fillable and editable pdf?

How do i turn a pages document into a fillable and editable pdf?

Feature not available in Pages. You probably need Adobe Acrobat for that.

Trying to create a fillable PDF

Is this even possible? I have an image I have set as a background, and I have tried to set tables over the spaces, so I could tab though the cells and entire my values. I can not get the cells I want to be independent of the others. Meaning I have the table as a structure, but I only want certain cells to be active. How do I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Ack! So my best option is to buy a $700 program? That seems ridiculous! Is it seriously the only app that does what I want?
I tried the text boxes but I could not figure out how to move or size them so they could go where I wanted them. I want embedded fillable spaces. Similar to some shopping basket forms.
I make clothes, and I have created a measurement sheet. I would really like to just be able to keep a digital file of these measurement pages, and have them easy to fill out.
Thanks for the advice so far.

Creating a Fillable PDF with Acrobat Pro 9

Hey there, i've got a problem when trying to create a fillable PDF Document.
I simple want to get a calculation done.
I got Checkboxes and i need a calculation like this:
For example:
If there is a "x" in the field named checkbox1, then it should go forward and check what number is in the Field named "Hours1"
if its higher than 2, it should put a 0,25 in the field, if higher than 4, put a 0,5 in the field, if higher than 6, put a 0,75 in the field and if higher than 8, put a 1 in the field and if nothing is written in hours1, leave it blank
Like:
If checkbox1 > 0 then if hours1 > 2 then 0,25 else if hours1 > 4 then 0,5 else if > 6 then 0,75 else if > 8 then 1 else ""
i used this calculation on excel but now we wanted to send a fillable pdf via email, but the recievers of the email always mix up the calculation, so i wanted to have it already in the pdf and calculating by it own.
i found basic things like field1 + field2 but i just saw that i need javascript to get what i need.
but well, i dont have any idea of JS.
maybe u can give me some links where i can learn it or something else.
iam looking forward to any help i recieve.
thanks for reading and i hope u can help me.

"Automatic Form Recognition" looks for blank areas next to text and assumes the format.
You probably will need to place each individual form and write each script.
You can find articles at Planet PDF and Acrobat Users Community and there a number of books on how to create and program forms.

How does one create a fillable/editable PDF for end users of Adobe Reader?

An example would be a business card design where users could change the name, email, etc. I am working in Acrobat Pro X, In Design 5.5, etc on a Mac. I know it's possible b/c I've seen it done. Need fonts to be embedded. I've tried various things but nothing has worked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Sara,

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site?

Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site? I need clients to be able to fill in the (registration) form on my site then submit it via email.

[discussion moved to Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum]

When creating a fillable PDF form can I add a password to only selected fields?

I am creating a fillable form which will require data entry from several different people before being returned to my office. There are certain fields on the form that need to be restricted to personnel in my office only. I have tried to accomplish this restriction many different ways but have been unsuccessful.
The closest I have come to accomplishing this restriction is by adding a "For HRO Only" button which I can use to hide certain fields from personnel outside of my office and unhide the text field when the button is clicked. This would be perfect if I could add a password to the button. Unfortunately this is either not possible or I haven't figured out how to do it which means that personnel outside of my office can still access the fields with a click of a button.
The only other way I have thought of to accomplish this restriction is to mark those fields as "read only" but it seems as though it would be very time consuming for personnel in my office to complete the form due to the fact that they would have to open "edit form", open the properties for each field requiring their input, and uncheck "read only" for each one.
Any help/options/ideas you can provide will be greatly appreciate. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the quick response. This will be a huge help! I hate to be a bother, but can you tell me the steps to create the script or give me a reference/resouce to use? I have used adobe products quite a bit, but this is my first time creating a PDF Fillable Form that will be distributed for use by several people so I am a little lost.
Also, I seem to be running into one more problem that I am hoping you can help me figure out. On the form there is a question for the recipient to answer by checking one of two boxes, yes or no. Depending on the answer an action is initiated. This feature works perfectly, however the issue is that when the recipient choses "yes" he/she is directed to fill out four additional fields that I currently have set as "required", but when the recipient choses "No" the four additional fields are hidden yet still required. This becomes an issue when the recipient has completed the form and tries to submit the form. An error message pops up notifying the user there are required fields that are empty and must be completed before submission.
My thought is (in a perfect world) one of these two options would be ideal:
1. When the "No" option is chosen the four additional fields are changed from required to not required, or
2. When the "No" option is chose the four additional required fields are autopopulated with NA.
Either remedy would work just fine, however I am open to suggestions... Again thank you so much for your help with my previous question and thank you in advance for any information/help/advice you can provide in regards to my second question.

How do I create working hyperlinks in embedded PDF email attachments.

Hi,
I have created a PDF with a working hyperlink in it leading to my website. The link works when viewing the PDF in acrobat but when I put it into the message of my email the link is no longer clickable. I'm sure I've seen this done before but have no idea how to make it work. I have tried various things, can anyone help?
I am using In-design Student edition CS4 to create hyperlinks and export to PDF Acrobat reader 9. I would like to embed the pdf with working links into an Outlook 2003 message but could use Gmail or hotmail as alternatives.
Thanks.

Pages '09 ≠ Pages 5.01.
You have the bugs and reduced features of Pages 5, the version you recently installed.
Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that instead.

Trying to create, what I thought, was a simple action to open pdfs and convert to jpegs...but.....

Hello,
I am trying to create a simple action/droplet that will open a bunch of PDF files and make them a certain resolution on the open and then save as jpegs to a particular file.
The problem is, when I create the action, the first step, when I open the PDF file, whatever name was in the name box, is it??? Every new PDF opens with that same name and overrides the next one.
Does anyone know how to work around this???
Is there a way to tell Photoshop to pick the current name of the file opening and not use the one that was the original file that the action was created from?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I recieved an email from Paul a few days ago. He has been on holiday in Egypt. And his web site was hacked, not taken down by him. He is trying to get it back up. He had to change the domain name and says that he is not sure he restored everything but you can try looking here http://www.ps-bridge-scripts.talktalk.net/
I think the PDFProcessor can be found there now.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.
