? about Adobe Fillable Forms?

this may be a stupid question because i've only had a half a day to figure out how to make a fillable form, which i did and i understand that you receive a datafile when they hit the submit button. What i want to know if there any way to set it up to actually get the form back with the info filled in without having the recipient having to save the file to their computer and re-attach it.
thanks for any info. When i have time i'll read the book :)

I believe you have posted to the wrong forum. The Adobe Output Designer is the form design software used with the Adobe Output Server ("Central Pro" server) software for producing hard copy output. It can make filled PDF files but it doesn't have a user "fill" feature - you have to use other software for that purpose.
Your question is very similar to those that have been asked at the Adobe LiveCycle Designer forum over the past several months. Unfortunately, for what you want it to do it appears that the answer is that the software doesn't support that capability.
If I'm correct and this is the wrong forum and the Live Cycle one is the correct one, then browse the posts there or repost your question there for a more definitive answer.
One good thing about that forum (over this one) is that it is monitored by actual Adobe staff that are very helpful.

Adobe Fillable Forms in Power Point using Windows 7

Hi,
I have created fillable forms using Acrobat. Then I inserted them in a Power Point presentation slide, one in each slide. I used the "Action" function for the object to "Open" with mouse click in the presentation. Using Adobe Reader as my default viewer it worked fine on an XP system but with Windows 7, when I click the form before starting the presentation it only opens in "minimized mode" and you have to click it to have it open. When you start the presentation and click on the form icon it moves to the next slide in the presentation. I would be very gratefull for any help.

Another option is to use PDF for the presentation. That's what I've done for many years now and haven't looked back.

Adobe fillable form in browser will not print

We access any adobe fillable form in our web browser (verses opening adobe reader first). This form cannot be saved so that way people don't accidentally over write the original. Recently, several people have not been able to print the filled out form, it just doesn't do anything after clicking print and selecting the printer. They can print from the same filled form that's been opened in adobe reader.
The only fix we can find is running a repair on adobe reader then rebooting the computer, which takes way too long, plus the problem resurfaces a few days later. We are using Adobe Reader X for sure on one of the computers, but I'm not 100% sure if that's what we have on all of them having this issue.
Any help?

I have updated one computer to 10.1.13 and protected mode has been off the whole time, but it still has this issue. It would not print the PDF form from IE earlier today, but when I took a look at it, it had no issue. It was strange how it resolved itself, but it should work while the customer is needed something printed.
There was a second computer with the exact same issue, this time with Adobe Reader X 10.1.7, that also resolved itself once I looked at it.

Questions about Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi everybody,
I have some questions about Adobe Interactive Forms with CRM 2007.
I can create AIFs with the Template Designer via the WebUI. These templates appear e.g. for the account in the selection PopUp "Create from template". But these templates are not interactive at all, just the BP-information is displayed.
Is the template-function only a static way to create a static PDF from the BP-information? Or is there a way to have the BP-information loaded to the PDF but still interactive input to communicate via a webservice?
Thanks a lot for answers.
Regards,
Ben.

About Adobe Interactive Form license price

Hello experts,
We need to develop some Adobe Interactive Form with Netweaver Developer Studio .
I know that if customer create their own Adobe interactive forms then they need to purchase the license.
How much the license of Adobe Interactive Form ? We need to develop about 30 forms.
How long does it need that contact to SAP and got the license in general ?
Best Regards,
Louis

Louis,
You will need to contact your SAP Account Executive to discuss licensing for your company. SAP Notes 750784 and 736902 are good ones to read in advance.
It does not take long to receive a license and you can go ahead and request Adobe Credentials to begin development.
I hope this information helps.

Adding a line to an adobe fillable form

I have Adbobe X Pro and I am creating a fillable form. I want to be able to add a box that allows the Adobe reader user to add an additional line or activity to the report. I have been trying to search for this but can't find it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Lauried13,
You'll need to use LiveCycle Designer to create this type of functionality. LiveCycle Designer ships with Acrobat X Pro for Windows. Please take a look at this tutorial for more info: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/creating-expanding-form-fields

Adobe Fillable Form

We currently have a form which was scanned in and made fillable I have been asked if there is a way of making this a multi page form and also be able to go back into it and keep adding items. Would appreciate any help on this matter. I would attach the actual PDF, but cannot find how to if someone could help on this one.
Thanks
Ray

You can scan more pages into a separate file, create fillable fields and then insert these pages into the old file. You can add more fields to the old file: Forms -> Add or Edit Fields. If you want to post pdf files for us to look at to better explain what you want, then you can create an account at acrobat.com and post pdf files there.

Using Adobe Interactive Form in Retails, manufacturing industries??

Hi,
I am a systems integrator solution provider and have a few customers from retails, manufacturing and supply chain industries.
They want to design label with barcodes (such as those SSCC label for shipping). Which SAP solution is the best and most standard?
I have a couple of options: SmartForms and SAPScript. But I also heard about Adobe Interactive Form. Which one is the most commonly used in the market right now? I don't think there are many users of Interactive Form in this scenario but I am not sure. Which barcode/termal printer supports Adobe Interactive Forms?
Please give me your insight.
Thank you
Jessica Alba

Hi Tanmay,
I had the same problem. Try this.
In WebDynpro:
Copy the component and put on a new interface for this Component.
In Transaction SFP:
As "Layout Type" you select "ZCI Layout".
Go to "Utilities" and insert Web Dynpro Script.
Activate and test the Component.
If you insert the Web Dynpro Script later in a Form,
it does not function. You must again put on it.
Anyhow my experience.

Can Adobe Interactive Forms do calculation

HI GURUs,
I am new to Adobe Forms.
Two quick questions:
1. Is it doable to create drop-down list for selection in Adobe Forms? For example, listing different sizes for shoes selection.
2. Is the Form able to do calculation as Excel does? beccause we need to verify total money spent is less than maximum entitlement.
Thanks.
Jason

Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

Fillable Forms for Adobe 8?

Hi, I currently have Adobe 8. Is it possible to make fillable forms using that? If so, what are the steps to going about that?

You might be able to find older versions for sale, you just have to make sure they're legitimate. Adobe has a process in place for moving licenses from one person to another, but I don't have the particulars at hand.
Starting with Acrobat 9, Standard is able to create forms, with certain limitations relating to JavaScript and digital signatures.

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.
