Filling out forms Adobe Reader on Linux - alternatives computers?

I work with a group that has limited resources, and they use Linux computers.  There are. PDF forms that are supposed to be completed online using Adobe Reader.  The producer and the creator of the document is presented as "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2" and the format is PDF - 1.7 and optimization and two security say 'no '.

When you try to open the form using the documents Viewer (Evince-based, seems) the following text is displayed:

Please wait...

If this message is not subsequently replaced by the good content of the document, your PDF file

Viewer is not able to display this type of document.

You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Linux® or Mac by

visit http://www.Adobe.com/go/reader_download .

Windows is a trademark or one brand mark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a registered trademark

Inc., filed with the United States and other countries. Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the United States and other

country.

But when you go to these sites, there is no option available (despite what it says in the text above) "Linux" in the download links.  Apparently, Adobe Reader is therefore no longer available for download or use on Linux computers, that really stinks for these people.  We thought that a. PDF, was supposed to be an almost universal 'portable' format  It's not how Adobe convinced government agencies to produce their documents and forms in. PDF format?

This form doesn't seem to work on Android devices running the Adobe Reader program (from downloads of Adobe) either.

Are there alternatives, for example other software that will run on Linux, allowing these people to simply fill in and complete the. PDF forms and send back them?  We cannot purchase all licenses of Microsoft Windows.  What can do now to complete the forms?

Use Windows or Mac for these files. (Even if Adobe Reader is available for mobile devices also, it will not handle these files).

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader app will not let me fill out forms

    I have Adobe Acrobat Reader on my iPhone. I tried to fill out a form from this link: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864.pdf. It's a protected form and Acrobat was not let me fill out the form. I tried to fill in the form with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my PC and I have not had any problems. I also tried FoxIt PDF on my iPhone and I had no problem with filing of the form.

    S Malik,

    The PDF in particular (i - 864.pdf) is a special type of PDF form called a static XFA form.

    Unfortunately, mobile applications of the Acrobat Reader (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone) do not accept the static or dynamic XFA forms created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • 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!

    If you are using Acrobat Pro 8, you can enable the reader of the document that allows Reader save a completed form. In Acrobat 9, the menu item to do this is "Advanced > extend features in Adobe Reader", but I think it was something different in Acrobat 8. Check the doc helps Acrobat if you can't find it.

  • 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.

  • Fill out forms Standard vs professional

    Is there a difference between the forms created in Acrobat Standard XI against professional? Someone I know told me that if two versions can create, the standard version requires the front end for the standard or pro fill up where as the Pro allows anyone to fill in until they have Acrobat Reader.

    My friend isn't correct or can I create a form with XI Standard and send it to someone who has only Acrobat Reader and they still fill out, sign and send it to me?

    No, digital signatures and electronic signatures (electronic signature) are quite different. EchoSign is a type of e-signature, not digital signature. If you want to users to drive to e-sign, the document should NOT be compatible player. If this is the case, the e-signing tools that are available in Reader 10/11 is not available.

    Note that when a form is signed, the form is flattened, which means that the apparitions of field are converted to standard page content and interactive fields are deleted. Therefore, it is very difficult to extract the data in the form, if this is something you need to do.

    If you do not need any type of signature and need filled in forms is up to you, you should activate Reader of the document (Standard or Pro), which will allow any version of Reader to fill out and save. If you know that your users will use Reader 11, it is not necessary to activate Reader and they will be able to e-sign, unless you also include a button with an action of 'submit form '.
