Acrobat XI - creating forms

Hello, managers Forum Adobe... I watched a video on your site recently which showed the facility to produce forms in the latest version of Acrobat Pro.  It will take the place of this feature that debuted in InDesign CS6?  I had heard that InDesign form production capabilities were not yet refined and wonder if Adobe soon abandoned this way of production for an easier way in Acrobat Pro XI.

Thank you very much.

I assume you mean forms Central for Acrobat, which will be distributed with Acrobat XI. It's another way to create forms that are not compatible with the existing methodology of Acrobat form. CF has absolutely nothing to do with the method of creating Acrobat forms InDesign.

The InDesign method works very well, but does include all the features bit that Acrobat has developed over the years. But these questions can easily be changed with the features of forms in Acrobat Pro. The main thing missing in the InDesign method, is that you should always open the PDF you create in Acrobat Pro to record as a player that is compatible for recording forms. The biggest advantage is that layout of forms can be much more accurate and can include more capable more refined appearance in InDesign. (You never had the tools to create a look that is refined in Acrobat.) There is no way it will be abandoned. It is one of the most popular features in InDesign CS6!

  • Minimum version Acrobat to create forms customers can download, fill out, save

    I have a client who is a health professional who wants to create a set of client applications for the admission of new patients that can download to their desktop, complete and then return before their appointment. More precisely

    1. the form should be one that requires them to complete it all in one session, because it is rather long and wide.

    So the customer has Adobe Acrobat version 7 and looking at the upgrade page does not appear as if he can pass a version that allows forms editible. Is this true?

    So if that's true, I just need to know what version of Acrobat the physician must purchase to create its new patient forms.

    Thank you

    Acrobat 7 is not able to activate Reader documents so that the Reader prior to version 11 users can save the completed form. 11 Reader users can save a non-active form.

    Although Acrobat 8 is able to activate Reader a form, I propose the latest version (11) which is available for purchase from form Adobe. Acrobat 9 will work, but is not sold or taken in charge by Adobe. Acrobat 10 is no longer sold by Adobe, but it is supported for updates.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro: creating a form of the word: HELP

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro, creating a form of my existing document before. I would like to add additional conditions to some fields, such as 'read only', use the guidelines of the Ecosign text tags. If Yes, how can I change the domain names? If not, what could I do? In addition, if there is a difference, I use a mac. Thanks in advance for your help

    Hello Bhagirath,

    You can make a field read only by a double click on the field and check the "read-only" and save. Now, if you want to use text tags, you just add '!' before the code and it will be read-only.

    Let me know if you need assistance.

    Kind regards

  • I created form in adobe acrobat X 1 Professional. Now, I want to put logic on a field. I want that the document will be closed if someone between age under the age of 18. and display a message for minors?

    I created form in adobe acrobat X 1 Professional.

    Now, I want to put logic on a field.

    I want that the document will be closed if someone between age under the age of 18. and display a message for minors?

    The final document is a little drastic... Perhaps simply display an error message? In any case, you can do it like this, as a custom field validation script:

    if (event.value && Number(event.value)<18) {
        app.alert("You must be an adult to fill in this form!");
        this.closeDoc(true);
    }
    

    Be aware that using this code will close the file without saving it, and the user will lose all unsaved data that they have entered.

  • How to create forms in Acrobat 9?

    I have a problem. I don't know how to create forms to fillable word document in acrobat 9.5.5. and can't find anything online

    The usual way is to create the word of PDF form, open the PDF in Acrobat and adds the fields of the form: forms > add or edit fields

    and you will be where you can add and configure the fields in the form of form editing mode.

    To add form fields to an existing PDF, select: forms > add or edit fields

    To create a PDF as Acrobat file an existing Word document, you can select: forms > start the form wizard > use an existing file

    You can select PDF, Word, Excel, etc. and Acrobat will attempt to automatically add form fields where he thinks they belong.

    I do not recommend the choice: forms > start the form wizard > create a PDF form from scratch

    Since then, it will start an older version of LiveCycle Designer.

    All this is will work with Acrobat 9 Pro. If you have the level, some things are not available, but you will still be able to enter the form editing mode.

  • How to create forms in pdf format with text for example which can be rewritten

    I'm using a mac (version 10.10.2), using acrobat pro. Originally created the document in InDesign, then create form fields in acrobat pro.

    Sorry for the somewhat confusing title. Basically I have a pdf I want to be able to change.

    I've set up the PDF with form fields that works perfectly - however, I would like to have a sample text in the areas that can be "crushed" by a new text.

    Example of

    If the field were asked for the date, it would be in gray italics an example of date, (ie. 01.01.2016)

    Then when you clicked on the ground this example text would disappear and then when you typed in the new data, it would appear in normal black text.

    I can't understand how to do this on a form which is not online, as this form will be sent from one person to another and not hosted on a site.

    Help would be apprectated!

    Yes, the default value is under Options.

    Two scripts have to go under Actions, Yes. You select the trigger first (on the focus and then on Blur) and the type of action is "Run a JavaScript" then when you add it to the list of Actions, a window will open. Paste in the code and press OK. That's all...

  • Creating forms

    I have DC of Acrobat Reader.  I am able to create forms that can be filled either on my website or otherwise?  If not, what type of Acrobat do I need to create my own forms to be completed by the beneficiary of the form?  Also must the beneficiary have something other than the basic player?

    Hello

    With Adobe Reader DC, you can only view and print PDF files (with a few other basic as her commenting, filling out forms, etc.). If you want to create PDF forms and wants beneficiaries to fill you need Acrobat Pro DC. Recipients can complete the form using Acrobat Reader DC which is a free application.

    Thank you

    Where can I find educational videos. I want to create forms that complement automatically.

    Thank you. I came across the solution for Auto-filling in a PDF file. If you use Acrobat 11, just right click in your field and copy it. Then paste it into the field that you want to automatically fill. What you enter in the original field will be displayed in the copy field.

  • How to create forms on a space empty?

    Hi all!

    I'm fairly new to Illustrator, and I'm trying to create a photo for my FB cover photo montage. I know that you can do in Photoshop (and it's probably easier), but I wanted to do a test anyhow since Illustrator allows you to things of scale without loss of quality. But I have met a few obstacles:2016-07-07 (1).png

    The blue shapes are the places where the photos are going to be.

    (1) is it possible to create forms of empty spaces?
    (2) how to fill forms with pictures by far that I can zoom in/out photos and set them to create the photo collage?

    Will be really grateful for your help.

    I know that you can do in Photoshop (and it's probably easier), but I wanted to do a test anyhow since Illustrator allows you to things of scale without loss of quality.

    I would do it in Photoshop. It is indeed easier, it makes more sense, since you work with pictures that will end up on the web, and Illustrator can do anything for your photos without losing quality of high-end.

    You can first create your photo frames in Illustrator, but I would like to paste them into Photoshop as shape layers.

    (1) is it possible to create forms of empty spaces?

    You can use the generator form for this tool. Or you could draw a rectangle the size of the total area, select this option and all of your purple forms and click on the dividing line in the Pathfinder palette.

    (2) how to fill forms with pictures by far that I can zoom in/out photos and set them to create the photo collage?

    The shape to create a clipping for each photo mask. Then you can use the direct Selection tool to select the photo, and it fits with the scale tool.

  • Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

    Hi John -.

    It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!

    Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.

    Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.
