I have Acrobat Professional 7 & Adobe Designer 7.0 (Windows) and created a form which I have loaded on our website.
However 7.0 does not allow the completed document to be emailed in a pdf format.
Adobe said that Acrobat Pro 9 will do this, so I ordered the Adobe Creative Site 7 - Web Premium for my new Mac.
Now I am trying to migrate the form into Pro 9 (on the Mac), an error message is displayed
"This is an XML form that cannot be edited on this system."
What am I doing wrong?
OR/Do I need to order Acrobat 9 for Windows and use the LiveCycle?
Or is there another way to create a pdf form (on line) that can be emailed from the website?
Thanks/Bonnie
LiveCycle Designer does not work on Macs at all- Windows only. In order to edit a LiveCycle Designer PDF form, you need to open it in LiveCycle Designer, not Acrobat. So yes, you need to get the Windows version so you can access LiveCycle Designer.
Since you say this is a form on your web site, I'm assuming you want users with the free Adobe Reader to be able to fill and email the form, right? Because if the end users have Acrobat Standard or Pro they should be able to do this now without your needing to upgrade to 9. However, for a PDF to be filled, saved and emailed from Adobe Reader, you need to Rights Enable the PDF and that is only available in Acrobat 8 Pro or 9 Pro or Stnd.
Hope this helps,
