Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF

Avatar

Former Community Member
I need some help with LiveCycle.



I've created a form that will be sent to several people to fill out. Once they fill it out, they will need to save the form as a non-fillable file (normal PDF?) and send on to others to be read-only. The form will not come back to me.



I cannot figure out how to enable the form to be saved as a normal, non-changeable PDF.



Also, the only option seems to be that the form is returned to me. I don't want that, either.



Thank you!

Hi



I have a preprinted form that I had scanned and saved in .PDF format. I have added form fields to this form. I want people to fill in the field in Adobe Reader and have the form visible in screen but invisible when printed. In other words, I want only the data printed in my preprinted form.



Thank you

Good Day Paul, I have a similar problem to Diana Pouppirt,



However, I use CenopDf to create fillable PDF forms. Wherecna I download LiveCycle? Is it an add on product to Acrobat or a different program all together?



My Scenario:

I create the fillable forms then post it on our web site (it is a registration form I created). The customers complete the form online on the website then either print the fill out or fill online then print then fax it back to the HR department. Is there anyway for the online filled-out PDF form to be emailed to the HR department with the filled-in information? Since the customer is filling out the form, how can I have that form emailed back to our HR department without having the customer print out that form?

If you feel your code can work for me then please send it to me.

Hopefully, my explanation make sense.

Livecycle is a server based product separate from Acrobat. A trial version can be downloaded for the Devnet site.



Reader provides you limited functionality (viewing the PDF, printing the file etc). It is similar functionality to what is in your browser when viewing a web page. You can enhance the functionality of Reader on a form by form basis by Reader Extending the form. A subset of Reader Extensions exists in Acrobat (locally saving and Digitial Signatures) but the full Reader Extensions functionality can only be applied by LiveCycle Server (things like commenting, Database and web service access, etc..).



Emailing the form is standard browser functionality and Reader Extensions is not required for this action. So if all you want to do is email the file back to an email address no additional product is nneded. You may have to write a script to contol the email but that is all.
