Create a form to fill out that can be saved by others

Hi, I work in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, I'm on a PC

I know you go to file > save as... > reader extended pdf >

After that, I get "allow adding text in the Documents (which are not fillable)...".

I then get a form that uses a 'typewriter' tool. "This isn't what I want.  I want a form to fill out that can be saved by the person filling out the form and not necessary to use the typewriter tool.  I don't like the way looks or works.  I hope that there is someone who can help.  I used to be able to do this and do not understand what has changed.

Thank you!

You must select activate additional features, so what you try to do

is to allow users of Reader (before XI), fill in the fields on the form and then save

file.

  • With the help of professionals to create the form to fill out that can save a user of reader

    New to Acrobat Professional. Used to create an evaluation of performance with areas to be completed and made available on our intranet.  All employees have just the free reader.  I assumed they would be able to complete and save on their own car because they are may not be able to finish in one sitting. Form requires supervisor to complete a section too, so was hoping they could send to them to complete.  Isn't this possible?

    You have a little more. Your form open: Advanced > extend features in Adobe Reader.

  • How to create a form to fill out on the iPad?

    Hello

    I created a form of pdf report/time sheet daily to be completed by our superintendents of construction on their iPad.  I tried everything (including all free download - and some not so free apps from the app store) and still can not get my forms to work on iPads.  Most of them won't open even my file.  I have no problem buying an app, but I'd love to know that it will indeed work beforehand.

    My questions are:

    1. Can I create a form with Acrobat Pro, which can be filled in on an iPad?
    2. What iPad applications actually offer this feature?
    3. (If we make it that day) Are there restrictions on the complexity of the forms I create?

    Additional information: I sent the pdf form document to myself as an attachment.  On my desk, it opens like a normal PDF.  On my iPad it is labeled as "winmail.dat" and will not open.

    Thank you.

    Yes, it works very well with all types of form fields, fields of digital signature but are treated as electronic signatures, digital signatures not. You should get the app and try out it, it's a very nice app.

    You'll have to research more on the winmail.dat issue yourself, there is a lot of info out there. I think that the settings of the e-mail server (Exchange) can have an effect as well. Have you tried not to use Outlook to send e-mail?

  • Create pdf forms to fill out on-line for customer to distribute to their customers via their website.

    Have taken a very old Quark doc and made a PDF form in Acrobat Pro 11 on mac. The customer wants customers to download on their site, complete and return by e-mail using the button "submit". Created action Submit button using e-mail viable test in the form "mailto:[email protected]", selected the export Format "PDF the complete document" and .pdf is registered as active player. " During the test to myself by sending the PDF in piece form attached e-mail, download and open in Acrobat Reader 11 on pc, form can be filled when the SHIPMENT is selected, first get "No Matches Found", I hit 'OK', but then "any of the specified recipients can not be resolved." That kills it.

    This client is small and never goes down the path to the server to get the answers.

    In addition, what is the problem with '500 users limit' i've going through trying to understand this?

    Yes, Acrobat Standard can enable drive forms, but it does not include the right to use digital signature as Acrobat Pro, but it probably won't be a problem.

    Submission by email might work very well for most users who use desktop Adobe Reader versions, but the client must be prepared to deal with cases where it doesn't, assuming that they even hearing thereon. Providing a fillable version on the screen, but not electronically electronic is a reasonable thing to do.

  • When you create a form to fill out fields of an existing pdf file, how do you define or allow end users set the font size in the fields?

    I managed to create a pdf form using an existing pdf document.  However, the font size is too large to allow the end user to type information in the form region.  Is there a way for 1) globally and/or 2) allow the end user to change the font size if necessary to put all the information in a box without police being so big & set all form fields when generated a lot more small font size?

    If the form field is created with the 'Allow Rich Text Formatting' option, the use can pull up the 'Properties', 'Ctrl' + E tool and change the format of the text such as the police, size, super/u: script, color, etc.

    Change the size of the text in the field of form (rich text formatting allowed)

  • How to create two separate networks in ESX that can communicate with each other with 2 x bear?

    Hello
    Just want to know a fundamental question concerning the configuration of my ESX host of singlebox with several vswitch and two teddy bears,
    What is the definition or use of the network Label and ID of Port? Yes VLAN, I know what it's meant for the physical world.
    My goal here is to
    1. create several vSwitch with much 4 VM on the two vswitch and it communicate somehow vswitch0 and vswitch1 happen? I need to plug the switch of pNIC2 for communication can / must travel through the network cable in my ESX?
    2. how to force all traffic Vmthe in a vswitch to enter a virtual machine that runs as a router VM and then talk to the other router vswitch VM? is this possible?
    Thank you.

    I do not know if I understand perfectly, but I often have to create isolated networks.

    In this case, there is only one NETWORK card, but it works with two, one on each switch. vSwitch0 can communicate with the outside world via the vmnic0. vSwitch0 and vSwitch1 are connected by the virtual router of pfsense. The virtual machines on the portgroup private connect to the world outside and any other VM on the portgroup VM network via the pfsense router. To access computers virtual private Portgroup requires a VPN connection via the pfsense router. This is a completely isolated network. With an additional uplink on vSwitch1, you can connect to other physical devices.

  • Is it possible for someone to insert a logo when you fill out a form to fill out? I'm looking for all the options under the button 'add a text field.

    I have created a form to fill out that is a contract, but I need a way for the person who is to fill the form to insert their logo.  Is it possible for someone to insert a logo when you fill out the form to fill out? I'm looking for all the options under the button 'add a text field.

    It is not possible within a text field, either. If they have Acrobat, they can use the built-in under Tools - editing content Add Image tool.

    If they drive XI or higher, they can use a button form field you will need to set up for them, but the image must be in PDF format.

  • Is it possible to lock a form to fill out, once it is filled in by the user?

    I created a form to fill out for my client. When the customer completes the form and saves it, I want the shape editable or locked. Is it possible to do it without a digital signature?

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC and have read most of the information on safety, but it seems that the only way to do this is to apply a digital signature.

    I can't put a button on the document as it will be used for printing once completed. Is there a javascript hack method?

    You can embed a code in the file that flattens until the file is saved and under certain conditions will also apply a security policy, but the latter is more complex.

    Just to flatten the file is easy, however. Enter the following under Tools - code JavaScripts - Document Actions - Document will save:

    if (app.viewerType!="Reader") this.flattenPages();
    

    Note that this is not reversible. So use it with caution, especially when used as will win command, because you will not be able to revert to the version of the file with the fields, unless you have a backup of it. If you want that it is possible to inform the user about this step and ask their approval before running it.
