Can I create a form that allows users the ability to add fields?

I would like to create an asset order form I can host on my company's intranet. I would like to give the users the ability to add additional fields per item they request rather than provide them with a limited amount of fields. For example, the template available from Formscentral has 5 dropdown selection boxes with predetermined supplies to choose from. My office receives requests for multiple, varying assets that I would not be able to list in generic dropdown selection boxes. I want to give users the freedom to enter item titles and provide URLs to online stores they would like me to purchase them from. I want my form to begin with two fields for this information and provide users with an add button that creates two additional fields for each additional item requested.

Hi,
In Acrobat Form, you create a hidden Text Field which will only get visible on a Button click for inserting additional text.

Any way to create a form that allows users to create profiles that can be viewed by other users?

I'm working on a social media site, and I would like to give users the ability to create simple profiles that can be viewed by other users. Is there any way I can do this in Muse CC? Any good resource websites with code I can embed?

Muse form widgets can only email the form submission data to a specified email address for non-BC hosting at this time. For BC with webCommerce plan and above, this should be possible with the help of webApps however, that is an advanced topic and would require some knowledge of CMS and HTML to implement <http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/web-apps.html>.
Also this will not be possible with Muse on its own as Muse outputs static pages only and what you are looking for requires backend technology to work (that BC offers).

Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible. Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form. I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

Hi,
You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

Can you create a button that allows users to save content?

I am trying to come up with a way that allows a user to save their certificate (created using the widget in Captivate 4) if they don't immediately have access to a printer. Is there some code I could attach to a button?

What about printing to a pdf-document? There are a lot of free PDF-writers around.

Can I create order forms that calculate the exact total with taxes?

Can I create order forms that calculate the exact total with taxes?
The customer needs to know exactly how much everything will cost before submitting. I can handle the actual payment portion manually.

thanks for the info;
I'll inform the admin dude that they need an upgraded acrobat to do forms.

Creating a form that allows multiple Digital Signatures

I am trying to make a PDF form that allows multiple users to sign different portions of a single form. I have created the form and inserted the Digital signature fields. Which if I use my Acrobat 8 Professional to open I am able to sign each different signature field independantly, but if the form is opened in just Reader 8 it will not allow singing of any digital signature field at all. Seems the security settings revert to a default of not allowing the form to be signed. Anyone able to help, if I have not provided enough information please let me know as I am pretty new to LiveCycle.

The previous post is correct. Reader will not allow you to sigh an form unless it has been reader extended to enable the signing functionality. Acrobat pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions can be used for this.

Can I create a form that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript disabled / security issues warning?

Hello,
Can I create a pdf that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript is currently disabled and this document uses it for some features. Enabling JavaScript can lead to potential security issues.
I even get this error when I create a blank pdf.
I'm not using any JavaScript in the form and the nature of the message might tend to be a bit scary to some people since it mentions enabling JS can lead to potential security issues. I basically want to disable the messaging of a feature I'm not even using.
Anyone know if this is possible and if so, how I go about it?
Thank you.

Hi,
I too share your frustration!!
Unfortunately I do not have a complete answer for you.
From the start I must say that Stefan Cameron has been very helpful (http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/acrobatreader-9-3-now-available/), however I have not had sufficient time available to deal with the issue (or find a satisfactory resolution).
The original post that Srini shared with you related to an XFA form that had FormCalc and Javascript in it. I will now share with you another situation that is closer to your experiences.
Sometimes where we have a complex solution/form, we often give our users a PDF with instructions and demonstrations. We generate these using Adobe products:
LiveCycle Designer ES to generate the solution/form;
Captivate to record the demonstration (.swf);
Acrobat to package it up in a static PDF.
The screen shots below are from a PDF that includes written instructions and six Flash (.swf) files. The PDF does NOT include fields/form objects and does NOT include any FormCalc or Javascript.
One of the big sells in Acrobat 9 was that Adobe had fully integrated Flash (Adobe product, ex. Macromedia) into Acrobat 9. This mean that .swf files could run natively inside a PDF. Brilliant!!! The website today is still pushing this message, for example:
Now bear in mind that the following screenshots are from a PDF that does not contain any scripting - its sole purpose is to "inform" the user, "look as good as the work I put into it", incorporate instruction and "multimedia" in a "single polished file" and I should be "confident that my audience will be able to view my work exactly as intended".
Not so!!
When the user now opens the form, all looks OK. No warning. They can read the instructions and scroll down to the multimedia (.swf files).
However when the user clicks on the multimedia, the yellow bar appears:
I go through the "trust" process:
And the PDF looks like it is OK, no yellow bar. When I click on the multimedia, it begins to play - yes!! BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN IT STOPS AND GOES BACK TO THE START - AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!. I would apologise for shouting, but this is beyond frustration. The work in capturing six screencasts in Captivate, annotating them, publishing to .swf and packaging up in Acrobat has been a complete waste of time. Worse than that I now have several PDFs out there, that do not work. Good advertisement for my business? I don't think so!!
The document that Stefan provided (Managing JavaScript Execution in the Acrobat Family of Products) does not mention Flash/.swf as being a problem. However I would recommend that you go through this document, as it may help you.
So, where to now? I don't know. The previous posts and Stefan's responses have several urls that may help. You should maybe consider logging your experiences as a bug (log at Adobe).
In the meantime good luck,
Niall
UPDATE:
This behaviour (.swf playing for only a few seconds) happens in PDFs where the .swf is inserted as legacy media to run in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader. In this case Acrobat/Reader is making an external call to Flash Player. Hence the yellow bar. However it does not explain why the Flash video still does not play when trusted.
If the .swf is added into the PDF as Flash media to run on Acrobat 9 and above, then it works without displaying the yellow warning bar.
So maybe any feature of your PDF that calls an external resource is likely to show the yellow warning bar.

How do you create a form that has user permissions per form field for different user?

I need to create a form that is used by multi people but each user needs to fill out different fields within the form. I need the first user to make selections from a list and save it to send to another (the selection fields then need to be locked). Then the other user checks one of the selections made by the first user and saves the document to send back to the first user. Not sure if this is possible. I would like the first form field selections not to even show as a highlighted field to the other user (like just be more like a text field). I want the document to be able to be used more than once. The list selections will change and need to be sent to the other user at least once a month or more. Has anyone done this?

There's no built-in way to do that, but it's probably doable using a custom-made script to hide and/or lock the fields.

How can I have a checkbox that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another checkbox is checked it will allow user text input

Hi
How can I have a check box that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another check box is checked it will allow user text input into that same field, her is my javascript
var a ="Not Applicable"
if (this.getField("Do").value == "Yes")
a=""
if (this.getField("DoNot").value =="Yes")
a=a + ""
event.value=a
say if the "Do" cb is checked, Not Applicable would populate the text field, and if the "DoNot" cb is checked it would allow user input into the same text field, the javascript I have will not allow user input,
thanks for any help I am new to javascript

Are these fields mutually exclusive?

Having stopped audio with a swf inside a sidelet can someone create a swf that will resume the audio

Ok, rick is going to post the fla of this file and I will
post the swf. Basically this is all about having a slide that has
audio running all the way through and enabling the user to roll
over a sidelet and have the video and audio stop playback.
At present, the max you can achieve is, to stop video. The
audio keeps going and of course everything gets out of
sync. Rick has create a swf that you input into a sidelet (
after having imported your image or video ) which stops the audio.
Fantasitc. Unfortunatly he was not successful in creating a swf
that will resume the audio.
So there is the mission. To create something that will resume
the audio, be it a swf inside the sidelet or something else.

Hi there paul. Am I right in thinking that your code will
mute the audio. In my situation this would cause problems becasue
you would roll over the sidelet - the audio would go silent and
when you rolled off, or resumed the audio, it would have been
playing so again the video and audio will be out of sync.
Rick - rather than another swf which would activate the audio
and video when you roll off the sidelet ( while that is the perfect
solution ) what about looking at a button the user can press to
resume things, maybe Im wrong but that sounds a little easier.
( however for all those reading this that is not really the
solution I am looking for, what Im looking for is the above
solution where you can just roll off and on and so on )

Can I create a form that works on android devices?

I am trying to create an equipment inspection form that uses radio buttons and drop-downs that I can email to customers, download to a server and add attachments such as photos. I would have an employee inspecting between 1 and 50 peices of equipment for an end user. I would like to maintain some information on the form such as equipment location, S/N's, customer name etc. so we would not need to re-enter for each unit / inspection.

Hi,
You can fill out forms on mobile devices. You cannot create/view responses on mobile devices.
We don't support maintaining information on the form between submits, so information would need to be reentered.
Thanks

Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive. How do I do this? I created image

I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment. I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s). After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed. I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button. How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen?

Hi Elizabeth,
Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method. I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out. However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below). I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide. Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance).
The initial slide (interaction slide):
Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below): Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed. The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
Content Slide 1:
Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate. I am using Cp6 for this module.
1. I created two user variables as follows
Name: v_batteryExplore
Value: 0
Name: v_fuelExplore
Value: 0
2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline. It seems best to have buttons above all other content. Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible. Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name. In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden. Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction. I hope this information helps you!
