Acrobat Reader iOS vs Android - Help!!!

New Here ,
Jul 25, 2018 Jul 25, 2018

The company I work for have been using a PDF form as a template for when staff carry out a client visit. We've been using iPads for years. I made a basic form in AcrobatDC with client details a few check boxes and blank areas for signature.

Using the iOS version I would do the following;

1. Copy template file and rename with client name

2. Fill out form

3. Get signature (done as drawn comment not esig)

4. Email flattened copy back to Head Office and Client

They've now changed us over to shiny Android tablets and the Reader app now;

1. Looks like it needs to be singed in to Document Cloud

2. Cannot rename or copy files

3. Cannot send a flattened version of the form

4. Cannot be reset to blank form

Am I missing something??

Just frustrating the hell out of me at the moment.

Yes, you can rename files in Document Cloud if you put them there. And you can rename them locally if you put them locally. Do you read something different?

Renaming files

  1. Open My Documents.
  2. Tap Document Cloud or Local.
  3. Long press a document.
  4. Tap Overflow icon.
  5. Tap Rename.
  6. Enter a name.
  7. Tap Done.

1. For the use of Acrobat Reader you don't need sign in the Document Cloud.

2. For renaming and copying files look at the help of Acrobat Reader.

OK, thanks for the rename help.

Any thoughts as to how I can flatten and send via email?

--------------------------

Edit

----------------------------

Done some more digging and looks like this may be possible via printing the completed form using the app and saving to the device. This will print a flattened form that we could then email out.

Sounds about right?

There's no option to rename Acrobat PDFs kept locally on my Android device! The option is there on local PDFs on my iOS devices. Unless Adobe are made aware of this, it's never gonna be corrected!
