Employee Rights: Time Off Requests for Exempt vs. 24 hours prior to my clock in time I would not be able to use my sick day. Create multiple forms. Births, deaths, illnesses, subpoenas and jury duty are examples of the kinds of events that might require you to request time off from work. Requesting a leave of absence can induce feelings of guilt. The Final Rule amends the definition of spouse so that eligible employees in legal same-sex marriages will be able to take FMLA leave to care for their spouse or family member, regardless of where they live.

Personal Time Off Request Forms

This document explains how to fill PDF forms. (If you are looking for information on how to create a form from scratch, create a form from a scanned document, distribute a form or track a form, click the appropriate link above. To explore the common questions on forms, click the Forms FAQ link.)

Note:

This document provides instructions for Acrobat DC and Acrobat 2017. If you're using Acrobat XI, see Acrobat XI Help.

Not all forms are fillable. Sometimes form creators don’t convert their PDFs to interactive fillable forms. Or, they intentionally design a form that you can fill in only by hand or with the Fill & Sign tool. These non-interactive forms are called flat forms.

An interactive form contains fields that you can select or fill in.

If necessary, right-click the document, and select either the Hand Tool or the Select Tool from the pop-up menu.

The pointer changes to a different icon as you move it over a field. For example, the Hand tool changes to an I-beam when you can type text into the form field. Some text fields are dynamic, meaning that they automatically resize to accommodate the amount of data you enter and can span across pages.

(Optional) To make form fields easier to identify, click the Highlight Existing Fields button on the document message bar. Form fields appear with a colored background (light blue by default), and all required form fields are outlined in another color (red by default).

Click to select options, such as radio buttons. Clickinside a text field to type.

Press Tab to move forward or Shift+Tab to move backward.

When finished, click the submit button to either send the data to a server or create an email to send the data. The submit button can appear in the purple message bar at the top of the form or in the form content.

For troubleshooting tips on completing forms, see Troubleshooting forms.

A flat form does not have interactive fields. However, you can use the Fill & Sign tools to add text and other symbols anywhere on the form. For instructions, see Fill out your PDF form.

A common way to view a PDF form is in a web browser, for example, when you click a link on a website. If the form does not contain interactive fields, you can use the Fill & Sign tools to fill out the form. Save the form on your computer, and then open it directly in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. For instructions, see Fill out your PDF form.

The Auto-Complete feature stores any entries that you type in an interactive form field. Auto-Complete then suggests or even automatically enters responses that match your typing in other form fields. The suggestions appear in a pop-up menu, from which you can select a match. The Auto-Complete feature is off by default, so you must enable it in the forms preferences if you want to use it.

To remove an entry from the Auto-Complete memory, such as a misspelled entry that you found and corrected later, edit the list in the preferences.

Note:

The forms preferences apply to the way the application handles open forms as you work. The preferences aren’t saved with the PDF forms themselves.

Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat / Acrobat Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).

Under Auto-Complete, choose Basic or Advanced from the menu.

Select Remember Numerical Data if you want the Auto-Complete memory to store numbers that you type into forms.

Note:

When you select an option in the Auto-Complete menu, a description of how it affects the Auto-Complete behavior appears in the text area below.

In the Auto-Complete Entry List dialog box, do one of the following, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box:

• To remove all of the entries, click Remove All.
• To remove some of the entries, select the entries and click Remove. (Shift-click to select multiple adjacent entries; Ctrl-click to select multiple nonadjacent entries.)

You can change a flat form to fillable by either using the Prepare Form tool or by simply enabling the Fill & Sign tools. Acrobat and Acrobat Reader users can use the Fill & Sign tool to fill in flat forms.

To create an interactive form, use the Prepare Forms tool. See Create a form from an existing document.

To enable the Fill & Sign tools, choose File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF >Enable More Tools (includes Form Fill-in & Save).

The tools are enabled for the current form only. When you create a different form, redo this task to enable Acrobat Reader users to use the tools.
