I just got Adobe Acrobat 9 and this tutorial will help. I recently, though, created an interactive form with Acrobat 7 and now I see that when numbers are typed in, commas are added. Very inconvenient in phone numbers. Do you have any trouble-shooting ideas? Or a direction I could go in? You are the main source on a web search for Adobe Acrobat! Thanks for the informative tutorial. Hi,

Simple and worked perfectly for my needs. I wonder why you used a combo field rather than a button field for the submit button? Nice tutorial. Simple and worked perfectly for my needs.

Apparently in its EULA there's a statement that only up to 500 data can be collected, whether by paper or online submission, per form. So legally any forms created using Acrobat pro or Lifecycle requires the Reader Extension bit to let more than 500 users and this costs heaps. Please correct me if I am wrong and I am certainly happier if I am wrong.... I seconded Jodith’s comment regarding the COST.

The only place it is nonfunctional is in Preview, but if I download it, then I can fill out the form and click submit and it all works! Is the Preview nonfunctional thing normal? thanks I wonder why yours worked with PDF checked? You're on a Mac, too, right? I would love a response on all this. thanks Wendy Hi again Brian,

After 5 hours of sleep I remembered that I had meant to write, also, that when the form is opened in Adobe Reader and I click "Submit" a message comes up and tells me that "This Operation Is Not Permitted" Some other instructions on forms from PDFs inform me that "if the users that fill in the PDF form are using Adobe Reader you must choose either FDF or XFDF for the Export Format option......" I tried this in the "Action" section but this is not what the person meant...still doesn't work.... any ideas why not? Help please thank you best, Wendy Brian,
