Trying to create fillable secure form in Acrobat X

I have Acrobat X Standard and I am trying to create a form that can be filled out then submitted but not printed or saved. When I set security and try to distribute it I get an error saying it can't distribute because of form security settings. I have recently updated to 10.0.3 but it did not fix the issue. Or is it that this is something Acrobat X standard won't do? It may be that I'm doing something wrong too since I am new to this........

Hi Doug,
Any success? I have the same issue.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Creating an interactive form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

Can anyone advise if what I am planning is possible given the version I am using. I am using a Mac.
I am trying to create a briefing form for a design studio that will allow people requesting artwork to enter the relevant information (dates, page count etc.) and then for the form to calculate the number of days that it will take and the cost (based on a daily rate x number of days).
The form will initally be produced in InDesign CS5 and exported as a PDF and then edited in Acrobat Pro 9.5. Essentially, the form needs to be able to calculate date ranges (i.e. number of work days between two dates) and then calculate prices based on a daily work rate (which would be hidden to the user). I would also need it to calculate totals say based on the following example:
1-2 page document - allow ten days.
For every additional 2 pages add a day
"Is photography required?" If yes, add a day for up to 5 photos. etc.
Before I even attempt this, I need to know if it is even possible given the version I am using. If not, I will explore doing it in Excel, but I would far prefer using Acrobat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible to do the calculations using JavaScript. The hardest part may be determining what's a working day and what's not. If it's certain days of the week (Mon-Fri) it's not too much of a problem, but it can get complicated if you have to contend with holidays or other irregular non-work days.

Has anyone found an app for creating fillable pdf forms on an ipad?

I have found many apps that allow me to fill in already created fillable pdf forms on an ipad, but I'm wondering if there are any apps that allow the creation of PDF forms on an ipad? (similar to adobe professional...?). Thanks for your time!

PDFpen pro can be used on the Mac to generate fillable forms. It is much less expensive than Acrobat.
For IOS, I would check out
PDF Expert by Readdle
DocuSign Ink
I know the allow you to sign your name on PDF forms.
I would think they can extend that to fillable forms.

Can you calculate multiple text boxes to achieve a total value? If so how is that done? I am trying to create a order form where multiple items can be purchased but i would like the values of each item to calculate so I can achieve a total value.

Hi sashby51,
I've moved your discussion to the PDF Forms forum--the folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to point you in the right direction.

This is normal behaviour. Apple have recently introduced increased security to protect you from fraudulent transactions. Once you have answered the questions (remember your answers) you will only be asked for them occasionally in future.

Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form? If so, how?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed. I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field. The procedure for creating these escapes me. Does anyone have any insight?

Hi Gilad,
thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
Kind Regards,
Pete

Saving a fillable pdf form as a non-fillable pdf form in Acrobat

Hi all,
I have created a form from Acrobat Pro 9 and I would like users to be able to fill out the fields, be able to edit, save it and email them back to me. Although, once it is sent, I would like the form to be locked and non-fillable.
Is this possible in Acrobat Pro 9?
Thank you in advance.

Use digital certificate signature to lock the fields.

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

Once you create a printable form in Acrobat Pro 9, how do you add a submit button?

I have created printable PDF forms, but don't know how to add a submit button so they can be filled out and emailed. Currently if the people filling them out only have Reader they can only be printed out. They cannot be saved, and they cannot be emailed. Can the submit functionality be added in Adobe Acrobat Pro, or do you have to do that with a third party software?

Yes, you can use the Extend Features in Adobe Reader, shown here but grayed out since I don't have a form open.
When you do that, the people filling out the form will be able to Save a copy of the form for themselves and to forward a copy of the PDF to you. You might want to make a copy of the form first if you might have to make changes in the future since the Extended form cannot be edited directly.

Creating editable PDF forms in Acrobat

I need to create digital PDF forms, a document with fields that can be filled in by anyone using the free Acrobat Reader.
I'm currently using Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.13) for Mac, but it will not allow me to do that, or perhaps I can't work it out. Here's a link to the tutorial I followed: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-editable-form-fields
I'm willing to upgrade, if a more recent version of Acrobat will allow me to do that.
Please help!
Many thanks, Mary

Whatever issues you have, have nothing to do with your version of Acrobat. Beyond that your info is simply too vague. just saying that it doesn't work is never a good way to ask for help. Either way, ask in the Acrobat forum.

Trying to create fillable form from InDesign table

I am working on a very long document, over 100 rows and about 18 columns, which will exist only as a pdf. I need to make 6 of the columns interactive so that they can be filled in with one of three letters by the end user.
I created the design in InDesign CS 5.5 as a table. That worked well for design control, but Acrobat X 10.1.3 does not recognize any of the cells in the PDF document. Is there a different InD export option that will make a table convert to a fillable form? I used press quality, then opened the pdf in Acrobat.
I have worked around by creating a short drop down list with the three letters in it and copied that into the cells using the Place Multiple Fields command. Then I can adjust position easily enough.
*Except* my client would prefer that the end user just type one of the letters into the cell/field rather than doing a drop down selection on each of the several hundred cells. She'd also like to be able to copy and paste the final filled-in information into her original excel document.
Am I missing something in Acrobat? I don't do fillable forms often and have never had one this massive.
I am working on a Mac.
Thanks for any help.
