Send secure forms

Sending a secure form certifies the form-originator’s identity to form recipients and encrypts the data that the recipients submit when returning a filled-in form.

  1. Open the form, and do one of the following:

    • If the form is open in Acrobat, choose Forms > Distribute Forms.

    • If the form is open in LiveCycle Designer, choose File > Distribute Forms.

  2. In the Form Distribution Options dialog box, specify whether you want to send the form now or save it to send later.
  3. In the Distribute Form wizard, enter the email address to which completed forms will be sent, and select Secure Forms On Return.
  4. Continue through the Distribute Form wizard, following the on-screen instructions.

Requirments

  • The form must be an Adobe XMA form, which is the format applied by LiveCycle Designer. If you edited the form in Acrobat, you must save it in LiveCycle Designer (available only for Windows) before you can use the send-secure feature.

  • The form must contain a Submit button that is configured with an email return address, such as mailto: nobody@adobe.com.

  • The form originator must have a digital ID. See Creating or obtaining digital IDs.
