What will the auto file name be when it arrives there? Also I am trying to edit an existing file and there is a purple framework (header) around the pdf with some user instructions, I cannot seem to get to it to edit it. The header does not show in the Design View but is there when I Preview PDF. Any assistance and thoughts is appreciated! I want to have the completed files emailed to a SharePoint Library.

Once a form has been made interactive the last step to do is to open up the document in Adobe Acrobat, go to Advanced and click on "Enable for Adobe Reader". Then the Adobe Reader user will be able to fill in the document and Save it. Shirley Hi,

You don’t need a professional copy of Acrobat to save a filled in document. Once a form has been made interactive the last step to do is to open up the document in Adobe Acrobat, go to Advanced and click on “Enable for Adobe Reader”. Then the Adobe Reader user will be able to fill in the document and Save it.

They can Print it in PDF and save it that way. The print function tie to how the printer is being set up in their local printer as well. So there isn't anything that you can do, for the email, you just have to make sure that the format that you entered is correct. name@whatever.com. Hope this helps. Hi Michael,

I have a PDF with fillable fields that works great, except that I need to have users fill and submit the PDF from a website. Everything works fine, except for Print and Email. Neither works and I need some help. I can't depend on users being smart enough to save a copy and then filling out the PDF on their local machines. Hello, I am new to LC but progressing quickly.

I am trying to create a medical interactive pdf for a request form of service. There is an image (I will say it is of a hand) and I want the doctor or the patient to be able to click on an image of the hand wherever they feel pain or are having problems- so if they are having problems in their index finger, they can click there and something like an x or a dot will appear to mark where on the image it is. How can I do this in an interactive .pdf? I have a question I haven’t been able to find any resources on.

Yes, the customer can print their responses and select the “PDF printer” before submitting their responses.

I hv been using Life Cycle Designer for creating interactive forms and found to be very useful. Since we are in the service industry most of our forms are used by customers and often we come across complaints that they are unable to save the content once typed in the form. In order to protect the pre-printed content of the form, the forms are protected by us. I would really appreciate if you could please provide a solution in enabling the form with 'save' features without compromising on the security aspects. Regards, Raj, Dubai Hi there!
