Question

Will the trial version allow me to send a fillable form I created?

I'm testing out the trial version to make sure it will work the way I want it to.  I created a fillable form that also calculates the sum of two columns.  It works perfectly in the preview but when i send a test to myself the form is read only. 

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the trial version or if it just doesn't work the way I did it. 

Does anyone know the answer?

Thanks.

How are you viewing the form?

Many new web browsers do not support  PDF forms?

Mobile devices need the correct app for processing PDFs. Most apps do not support PDF forms and those that do, do not support all JavaScript or interactive features.

Many non-Adobe PDF viewers do not fully support PDF forms.

The trial version is fully functional.

What do you mean when you say it's "read only" when you test it? What application are you using to open the file?

I feel so stupid now!  You made me realize that in my haste to get it tested I was just previewing the file in my email.  Once I downloaded it, it opened with full functionality.  Thank you so much.
