What versions of Reader can fill-in forms?

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 and I am trying to create a short form.  The recipients are not all computer savy and will have various versions of reader so I need this to be super simple. 
I have been testing it and Reader 7 doesn't seem to be able to fill-in the form.   I have not been able to find any documentation that states what versions of Reader can fillin forms to be returned. 
I would also like to have the file emailed back as the filled form, but I understand I do not have to use "distribute forms". 
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
C

Actually, the first version of Reader that could take advantage of Reader-enabled documents is Reader 5.1. The problem is backwards compatibility for documents that have been enabled with Acrobat due to various changes since Reader Extensions (usage rights) was first introduced. And for the sake of completeness, versions of Acrobat prior to 8 could apply certain usage rights (e.g., commenting, typewriter), just not those that allow saving a filled-in form.

  • Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

    Okay so here's the deal.....
    I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
    will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
    So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
    I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
    Hope I make sense.

    No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
    to that using the source code.

  • Apache FileUpload - what version of Tomcat can run it?

    Hi. I'm trying to use the Apache Commons FileUpload component (http://commons.apache.org/fileupload). It works fine on my local PC (Java 1.5.0_15) but fails on the Unix server running Tomcat 4.1.29 and Java 1.4.2_12-b03. I've got the latest version of the upload component in the WEB-INF/lib folder. It throws this error (included only the top section; there are more, similar errors having to do with each fileupload component call). Do I need an older version of the upload component to work with this version of Tomcat and Java? If so, which version do I need to download? The oldest I could find dated to 2003. Thanks.
    The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

    Apache FileUpload - what version of Tomcat can run it?First of all, why don't you ask Apache specific questions at the Apache mailinglist?
    Regarding to your actual problem: those are just ordinary compilation errors which are complaining that the mentioned packages and classes aren't available in the classpath. The solution is obvious: add the mentioned packages and classes (or in this case, the JAR file(s) with it) to the classpath during compile time and you're fine.

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • Free way to dynamically build a form that adobe reader can fill out?

    It's 2008 and we don't have a open, free way to dynamically build a pdf form that adobe reader can populate with data? Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing? Does this make sense to anybody?

    > Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing?
    That seems to me the way economics works. People charge for things
    that other people are prepared to pay for. It's no good trying to
    charge for things that nobody will pay for.
    >Does this make sense to anybody?
    Adobe's shareholders, I would think, who will sack Adobe's management
    if they do not make money.
    By the way, the PDF specification is open. If you want something for
    free, why not implement it and share it with the world, who will
    surely be pleased. (You will not be able to implement a form that
    Reader can save, however, this is based on trade secrets).

  • How to change security so its locked but can fill out forms and then save?

    Hey there, i want to know how to make a PDF document locked (so you can't change anything) but you can fill out the forms and them save then with the edits in the forms done? Is there anyway to do this? Or do i need to take some settings off. So far I have made it so someone can write int he box, but then they can't change the edits at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create your form.
    go to advanced menu
    choose the item about Reader Rights
    when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
    Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
    Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.

  • Can filled out forms have their data changed?

    1) I want to use Adobe online forms to take applications for a scholarship. Can my candidates revisit their form on different occasions to add / change their entered information?
    2) Can I give a collaborator access to ONLY ONE filled out form?
    AJ Willmer

    Hi ajwillmer,
    Unfortunately, we cannot add or change the data once the form is submitted. If the user submits the form twice, you will received 2 different response.
    Also, we can give collaborator access on one particular form and it will be form all the responses received on that particular form.

  • Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open

    I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?

    You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.
