Activity Plan Form

Our Stake requires activity plan forms to be filled out on every activity. We have had a struggle getting leaders to fill them out. However, I finally found a solution.

EDIT: Please see the following post later in the thread for the PDF file attached to the post:

PDF File Here

It is a PDF form that you can fill out on your computer and print. I have put this on our ward website and usage has tripled since.

Enjoy, edit, customize, thanks!

That's great, but it is possible to just link directly to the one at lds.org instead of posting a scanned version?

You might also link this one if necessary.

The difference is that on BenJoe's you can type in the data instead of handwriting...

Attached to this post is the PDF file. We will be removing the other one from the Wiki.

Thanks guys, I misunderstood the wiki purpose.

Thanks everyone.

This is a great idea. Just one suggestion: if you would start with the electronic version located on lds.org (linked to earlier in this thread), and then add the edit fields, the result would be more readable and look better. The one posted above is based on a scanned version with registration that's a bit off.

Thanks,

I am working on that now. I couldn't find the electronic version so I scanned this one in.

Thanks.

And if you have a PDF printer installed then you dont even need to print it. You can then save it for your own records and email it to whoever needs it.

Is it not possible to save data with a PDF with input fields or is it just this example?

I have used a PDF that allowed saving using the Free Adobe Reader, it saved the field information in a separate file, I don't know the specifics on how it was set up

The free Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot change the functionality of the form created by the originator. The form must be created using Adobe Acrobat Professional version 8 and later or the Enterprise software Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions and the feature for saving data must be activated by the person creating the form.

When a user enters data in a PDF file with data entry and save enabled, there are two options availble upon saving. The first, and default, is that the file opened will be saved with the data entered using the original file's name. The user can select an alternate file name, location, or both by using the main menu "File>Save As..." selection.

Although I generally don't like resurrecting ancient threads, I created a fillable, saveable Activity Plan based on the link earlier in the thread, and it only seemed to make sense to post it in this thread instead of creating a new one.

If you don't mind my asking, what software did you use to create this form ?

Thanks,

I used Adobe Professional 9.3.

I have used this link many times in the past because it is the only fillable activity plan I have ever located on the web. I have saved the file to several computers over the years, but I can't for some reason, seem to get this to open as fillable on my family laptop running Windows 10. Should that have made a difference? Am I doing something wrong, or is there some other way to get a compatible, fillable activity plan? Thanks by the way, for making this one available for all of us unknowledgeable in the methods of how to create our own fillable version.

Found my problem. Adobe Reader was not on the family laptop. Downloaded the free version and it opened just fine! Cheers!
