Why are completed forms that are emailed back to me blank.

When opening a completed form all the fields are blank.  When I ask the submitter they say that when they open the file all fields are completed.  My operating system is Mac OSX 10.9.4 and Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  Any help much appreciated as this is driving me nuts.

You should probably make the form in AcroForms (that is directly in Acrobat with the forms tools). For submission, you should request the data to be submitted (FDF file) to a web script on an internal server. The script can be set to submit the data to a database or many other things (not that I have done them all). The script can be done in several different languages. If you download the FDF Toolkit, you can do a lot of the needed options. Check out Acrobat Forms Data Format (FDF) Toolkit | Adobe Developer Connection.

    Hi,
    What is the exact name of the desktop app you have?  Is it "Acrobat Reader DC", "Acrobat Pro DC" or "Acrobat Standard DC"?
    (Previously, your question was posted to the wrong forum - the Reader/Acrobat DC mobile forum.)
    If you have the paid product ("Acrobat Pro DC" or "Acrobat Standard DC"), you can contact Adobe Customer Care.
    Contact Customer Care
    If you have the free product ("Acrobat Reader DC"), Adobe Customer Care will redirect you to the user forum like this one.  You just need to wait for someone (who is an experienced user but not necessarily an Adobe employee) to answer your question in the right user forum.

  • I want to create forms that are printable and not for web usage?

    I need to create forms that are for use in an office setting not only for web usage.  How do i do that?

    Hi,
    You may design a form in FormsCentral and then save the form as submission-enabled PDF form. Please check out this tutorial: Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms.
    Thanks,

  • Are the fonts that are available to me when I am using the free trial of InDesign less than when I use the purchased version of InDesign?

    Are the fonts that are available to me when I am using the free trial of InDesign less than when I use the purchased version of InDesign?

    Try to find out: When you install the Creative Cloud Desktop app, Click Assets, then click Fonts. Click Add Fonts from Typekit. If you can do that, you're in. Of course, you won't be able to use them more than 30 days unless you subscribe. (But fonts embedded in a PDF or EPUB file would be fine.)

  • My macbook pro keeps saying I have 450 gigabytes out of 500 that are used.  But when I look on finder there are no files that are anywhere close to that amount.  I went through and deleted files from my mac and now I only have 10 gs free

    My macbook pro keeps saying I have 450 gigabytes out of 500 that are used.  But when I look on finder there are no files that are anywhere close to that amount.  I went through and deleted files from my mac and now I only have 10 gigabytes of additional space free. My mac now says I have 440 gigs of other that is used. But does not make sense, do I have a virus?

    Since you have not identified the OS your MBP is using, these extract may or may not assist you.

    You may also download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it it will show all of the files on your MBP and the respective sizes.

    .The files are not backed up alphabetically. We would like to know what are the db files that are already backed up? Is there a command i could run from another RMAN to get the already backed up files.

    I think you can query your catalog for this information.
    Or use
    LIST BACKUP; (in RMAN)
    Or
    alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss';
    select SID, START_TIME,TOTALWORK, sofar, (sofar/totalwork) * 100 done,
    sysdate + TIME_REMAINING/3600/24 end_at
    from v$session_longops
    where totalwork > sofar
    AND opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
    AND opname like 'RMAN%';
    Or
    -- Datafiles Backed up during past 24 Hours
    SELECT dbfiles||' from '||numfiles "Datafiles backed up",
    cfiles "Control Files backed up", spfiles "SPFiles backed up"
    FROM (select count(*) numfiles from sys.v_$datafile),
    (select count(*) dbfiles
    from sys.v_$backup_datafile a, sys.v_$datafile b
    where a.file# = b.file#

  • Can Acrobat Pro 9 create pdf forms that are readable by older versions of Reader?

    I have just downloaded the Trial of Acrobat Pro 9, and my client now tells me they only have Acrobat 5, and can't open the pdf form I've made in 9.  My form uses text fields and checkboxes, tooltips but no validation or calculation.  Does anyone know if it is possible to save this form in a way that is backwards compatible with Acrobat 5?
    Failing this, does anyone know what version of Pro I need in order to add fields and still allow v5 to open the files?
    thanks!
    - Thea

    I did not read your original post carefully. As far as saving a form that is readable in AA5, AA5 should be able to read an AA9 form as long as you did not use any of the new fancy things in it. In the meantime, simply save the form using either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize with the compatibility set to AA5 or AR5. That process will strip any special issues from the PDF I think. At least that is my assumption. I create PDFs that are AA5 compatible all the time by simply having the properties of the Adobe PDF printer set to AR5 compatibility. As far as the form feature, that is really just a matter of being sure you use features that are AA5 compatible as I have suggested and saving, possibly using one of the two options I have mentioned. In most cases, AR5 will be able to read it even if you do not save in that process, but do not get fancy in the structure.

  • Why don't tabs that are open on my iPhone appear in Show All Tabs on my MacBook Air?

    When I select Show All Tabs in Safari 8.0.3 on an early 2014 MacBook Air, I see the tabs that are open on my iPad but not those that are open on my iPhone 6. I recently updated the phone to iOS 8.2. All my devices are connected to my iCloud account and Safari is checked in my iCloud settings on the phone. So I don't understand why the phone's open tabs no longer appear in Show All Tabs on the MacBook Air. The iPad is an iPad 2 and it's still running iOS 8.1.3. Am I right in guessing there's a problem with the iOS 8.2 update?

  • HT1353 why are card games that are free on my phone not free for my mac

    I am wondering why the card games that I play for free on my iPhone and iPad (and PC as well) are not free for my Mac through iTunes?  It makes no sense.  I have a new 13" apple macbook pro laptop running yosemite.  

    iTunes does not sell anything for your Mac.
    You would have to buy apps from the Mac Apps store for your Mac.
    They may differ in price, because they are not the same thing.  One is an iOS app, then  other is a computer app.
    The maker of the app can choose what to charge for and what not to charge for.  It could be that one contains ads and the other does not.
    At the end of the day, then maker of the apps decides what to charge or if to charge.

  • How can I log out of one apple ID on my iphone and log back into another apple ID that I have, there are older apps that are not updating because of this I think.

    There are four apps that say they are "installing but nothing ever happens...any clue what to do? I believe that it is because I have two apple ID's.
    Thanks.
    Walter

    Check the apps in question to be sure they don't say "paused"; if they do, tap them and select stop.  Then try again.  If they don't, I'm not sure what the problem is.  FYI, one my older apps also took quite a while to finally update earlier today...just waited it out and it finally did.

  • How to save a completed form that was created as a dynamic form, with expandable files?

    I have created a dynamic PDF form with expandable fields etc. As this is to be accessible for customers to completed, how can they save a completed copy on their own PC?
    I tried it myself and I receive an error msg stating that I can only save a Blank Copy of this Form:  Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
    How can I create a dynamic form (with expandable fields/flowable layout etc) that allows the applicant to not only complete the form but also, to save a completed copy?

    Thanks! That worked , however I now have an additional issue.
    While the form works in Internet Explorer (I'm using IE11), in that it's viewable, it opens and allows me to save etc) it doesn't work in Google Chrome and I'm getting the below error message:
    Any ideas on why it doesn't display in Chrome and does in IE (I'm using the same PC and I'm using Adobe Reader XI)!
    there are other PDF forms on site that are not dynamic but are fillable, and these are opening!
    Thanks
