I just got a new job two months ago and everything and everyone has been really great. There's a girl I work with who I've gotten along great with but she sent me a bunch of forms she needed converted and I had no idea how to do it. This video absolutely saves me and made me look great! 😅

[rajudas]

Sharon, I love all your tutorials, thank you! Quick question, on our form, we need the signers to upload certain docs from their computer to give to us. When signers click "UPLOAD HERE" there should be a box that shows FILE from Desktop etc. How to create that on the form please? I have not seen anyone give this tutorial in youtube :--(((

@SharonSmith Thank you Sharon for your videos. Is there a way I can insert a warped paragraph using drop down list option? I appreciate help

Hi Sharon! Quick question. I'm preparing an agreement form for our salesperson to fill out in-house and then send it out for a signature. Once the salesperson fills out a form with the customer's info, how do you then send it to a customer so that the fields are no longer accessible? They just need to sign and date it. Does my question make sense?

[officialMkycCenterSupportMBD]

thank you so much, it works fine with me !

[peterryan]

Is there an option to use a calendar select window for the date entry?

[zolareviews]

How do you keep the forms from printing on the pdf? I have selected visible but hidden but it still prints on the hard copy. Thanks!

[stanger]

This was not what I was looking for but it is great information.

[internetjunkie]

Thank you. This was one of the clearest tutorial videos I've watched. Quick question: how do I an e-signature field to this form? I don't want Adboe to send the email from my Adobe account automatically. I'd like to be able to send it through Gmail as an attachment.

[katehenchey]

Very helpful. However, we need to have a text box that will expand (and print full text entered) if more text is entered than the box was originally intended for. We just get that "+" in lower right hand corner. You can arrow up or down to read on screen, but can't get it to print. Can you help?

[rachelpoetker]

This is so helpful, thank you! When you 'save' at the end, can you continue editing it later? If I can only get halfway through a particularly long form, what's the best way to save and continue to create it later?

[guilherme]

grazie bro è incredibile per questo ti sottoscrivo

[fieldbc]

Great information. I'm trying to circle a selected word instead of checking beside a word. Similar to a health form you fill out by hand where you circle yes or no after a question. I've seen it done on pdf's but can't recreate it. Somehow they use the action button in conjunction with and image field using a circle as the icon. I've tried copying an pasting and even changing the name but the new and orignal circle both appear when either is selected. I'm not sure where the original got the image of the circle for the icon so I'm wondering if I have to make my own pictures to use as icons. It's a bit difficult to explain but if you have any advice I would appreciate it.
