Cannot fill out forms, please help...

OK, that's a stupid question, but I'm completely lost.  I'm trying to fill out applications online, or download and fill out, when they are in PDF format.  All that said I should just be able to click and type, but I can't.  What I am doing wrong?

You're probably not a bad thing. Many PDF documents that resemble forms contain interactive form fields, because the creator of the document does not add an extra step. The full version of Acrobat can add text to a document using the typewriter tool, assuming that there is no security that limits. It can also allow a document so that the typewriter tool is available in the player. A trial of the full version of Acrobat X is available for download, so you can try it out of you don't have it already.

    First of all, ignore this. It just says that if there are fields to fill in, you would be allowed to fill them, but it does mean they exist.

    Which tool you have selected when you click on these areas. You must have the hand tool selected. If you ave chosen and hover over a field, what is happening.

    In addition, if there was a form to fill out, you should have gotten a message to that effect unless you have this disabled message.

  • Help!  End users with Reader only impossible to save the document that they fill out forms...?

    Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

    I have the full version of Acrobat 9 Standard, but I also have the trial version of Acrobat X Pro, in the hope that she would do what I need it to do.

    In my business, I have a 30 page document in PDF with form in all fields.  I send this form to my clients, and they fill it in, sign it and send it back.  I wish they were able to save the document so that they do not have to fill out the 30 pages together in one sitting, they can work on the forms for a bit, then reopen later.  So far, many of my clients have complained that they are unable to save the document at all.

    In addition, even if I'm here, I would also mention that I would like for these customers to put digital signatures on these documents rather than having to print, sign and scan or fax for me to hide.  I have white signature on the PDF in question, but I want to be sure that my customers end users having ONLY the reader can this sign digitally.

    Help?  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

  • Fill out form Acrobat - Validation of the final Document

    Can someone help me with this. I want to put a form validation field blank in the document set actions when a document is closed. Basically wanting a custom level data validation input.

    For example, form has 20 fields, I want 3 of them say name1, Group1 and age1 to generate a JavaScript alert when they are empty.

    So if all three are empty it will say

    Please fill out the fields of age, occupation, and name

    If one name is empty it will say then only

    Please fill in the name field

    Can you tell me or list the javascript code on how to do this? Right now I use just a reminder of type general app.alert when the document is closed. Trying to smarten things a bit.

    I see. You can then use this code. I made a slight change to the format of the error message to make it easier to generate:

    var fields = ["name1", "occupation1", "age1"]; // The actual field names
    var descriptions = ["Name", "Occupation", "Age"]; // The user-friendly names for these fields
    var missingFields = [];
    
    for (var i in fields) {
        if (this.getField(fields[i]).valueAsString=="") {
            missingFields.push(descriptions[i]);
        }
    }
    
    if (missingFields.length!=0) {
        app.alert("Please complete the following fields: " + missingFields.join(", "), 1);
    }
    
  • Filling out forms and then lock up

    I've created a form that has one of my clients can fill out and then send off to a client. Is it possible that once they have completed their form and before it sends out of their client that I can lock the form of editing. They use Adobe Reader X for the form.

    I was wondering if there was like a filled button I have created which would be loock it out before they emailing. The main reason for this is that they are the Bills they send and obviously they don't want their customers to be able to change the figures.

    Thanks in advance

    To flatten their appearances fields are converted to standard page content, you can use the following JavaScript utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

    The other options that are available in Pro are optimized PDF and control upstream.

    I was talking about security standard password, which is studied in more Help doc. Acrobat notes that you don't have to set a password to open, just a Permissions password. It is also optional if you flatten it, since there is no interactive field for the user to change.

  • When you have pdf pages combined into one document and change of filling out form content, how it stop edit fields in other pages?

    I am working on always .pdf documents that have fields to fill in form like this http://www.acuitybrandslighting.com/library/ll/documents/specsheets/edg-edgr.pdf document


    I fill out the form and then to combine several different files in 'organise pages', if I make changes to fill the form fields it passes over each similar document. How it stop doing that? Sometimes I need to use the same sheet in the same statement combined with different options in this regard.

    Once you combine a single PDF forms, you need to be able to edit the field values or access data? If this isn't the case, you can flatten each form before you collect in a single PDF file.
