Do Workspace ES PDF Forms need to be extended?

Hello experts,
I have a pressing question for you all.
We have Adobe LiveCycle ES installed and have developed some processes. But we are facing some problems lately with our PDF with WDSL call embedded in. The problem is that the web service button does work after you click it. So I was wondering whether the form needs extension or not?
If it does not what can we do to make it work with Adobe reader X?
Thank you.

Thank you Chuck for your reply.
Now the interesting part of my issue is that on one PC the Form works fine in the Workspace environment, but on most of the computers it does not. I wonder how to set the environment so that the form can work on the other computers? All the computers do have the same version of browser IE8 and Firefox 4.0.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Non - interactive PDF form needs to be typed in

I have a PDF form, non-interactive, which I would like to type the answers into. Easiest and most effective way to do this? Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
"Into" is difficult. "Onto" is workable.
Open the document in Preview.
Go File > Save as... and choose PICT.
Open a New AppleWorks Draw document.
Drag the PICT version of the pdf document into the Draw doc (or go File > Insert to insert the file).
If necessary, resize the image to fit the page.*
For each answer:
Choose the Text tool from the Tools palette, and drag a Text frame onto one of the answer spaces.
Type in the answer.
Repeat as necessary.**
When finished, press command-P to get to the Print dialogue, then either Print the document, or click the PDF button to save it as a PDF file.*
Regards,
Barry
*Use Scale by Percent, in the Arrange menu if the image is larger than the page space. Drag the handles at each corner of the image if they're all visible.
**You can also type a few characters into the first answer space, then press command-D to duplicate the frame, and drag the duplicate(s) to the other answer spaces. Text frames drop off the document if they contain no text.
*The PDF file will lose sharpness due to recompression each time it is changed and saved.

PDF Gen need Acrobat pro extended

Hi all,
I think I once heard that Adobe Acrobat Pro was enough for PDF Generator. When I config LC ES2 I get warnings in configuration.
Does LC ES2 require Acrobat Pro Extended? Can it work without?
How does I most easily update it now LC ES2 is up and running?
Thanks guys

"Add multimedia to PDFs" at Acrobat Pro's LiveDocs may help to clarify.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS65B80E79-F165-44f0-BBCA-0F142A75869 6.html
Looks like the following general observations apply.
If the multmedia file(s) meet the identified requirements for Professional it is "in".
If the multimedia file(s) do not, then conversion is required - but conversion is only available in Pro Extended.
That you get a "need conversion" message, from Pro that would be indicative of an input that does not meet the specified requirements for direct use in Pro.
An alternative might be to try "Create Legacy ..."
Legacy multimedia will rely on the end-user having the appropriate player application installed.
fwiw - having an interest in multimedia & PDF you might find this helpful

Submitting PDF Form to SharePoint 2010 Library

I've inherited a simple PDF form created with LiveCycle ES2. We'd like to be able to let users Submit the result of the form in a PDF format, to a SharePoint 2010 Library using a Submit button. I've added a button and configured the Control Type to Submit. I've added a SharePoint library to the Submit to URL: field and changed to Submit to PDF. Now when I click the button, it opens the SharePoint library but nothing is there. I'm sure there's more I need to do to get this working. Do I need to install the server-side stuff for LiveCycle on the SharePoint server?

This is not striclty my area of expertise so I don't want to give you a bum steer - at best my response is vague but it may give you a few clues of where to start looking. I'm not too sure how you might have confgured this but your PDF form needs somewhere to send the data and then receive and store it - that's not a SharePoint list or document library (I seem to recall reading somewhere that you can do clever stuff with PDF and SharePoint but I don't think it works out of the box like you're describing here - that info basically alluded to using PDF and SharePoint together [like marketing statements] but didn't go into the hows). I suspect that submitting a PDF form may result in an XML data stream but don't quote me on that either. Alternatively if Acrobat is going to collate results then I think the form being submitted may need to end up in the same locaiton as the "master" PDF form but again I'm guessing a bit here too. For all intents the "master" pdf form may need to reside in SharePoint (and as a result it is addressable on a URL or as a file via WebDAV) in which case it will (or ought to) function like any other PDF form where you can collate results to a spreadsheet. If thats all it can do then using SharePoint seems moot. I think Google is your friend here :-)

Problem submitting PDF form in WorkSpace

Hi, my server is ES2.5 Turnkey install (Express mode) on Windows.
Client is IE-8 with latest Reader.
My form is a PDF form created in the WorkBench,
it has 2 pages, with some Digital Signature fields,
I have also added the "Process Fields" group onto page 2 of the form.
The form is to be routed in the standard WorkSpace.
At the Initiator step (Start Point), I use the Action Profile to do the Pre-fill of the form.
I have checked the Reader Extended box.
I use a Document variable as the Output from the StartPoint, the doc variable references my .PDF form template.
Everything works fine at the Initiator step, the form fields are all properly Pre-filled.
The problem is:
after I click the Complete button, it goes to the next participant of the workflow process,
when that person opens up the form in the WorkSpace, it's all blank, none of the data at the Initiator step show up.
This User task uses the same Document variable as the Input (specified at the Presentation & Data tab).
What do I need to do to pass the form data along with the form to the next person in the Process?
What have I done wrong? what should I check?
thanks.

I sort of narrowed down the problem a little bit.
I created a smaller PDF form, it has Digital Signature field as well as the Process Fields group, plus some Text fields. When I used it in the SAME process (changed the Document variable to point to this new small form of course) everything worked! No data loss. Everything on the form including the Signature got passed to the next person in the workflow just fine.
So I think my Process design is fine, the problem appears to be in the original 2-page PDF form.
But I can't figure out what thing on the form could have caused the data loss!
There's no error message anywhere, nothing in the JBoss server log either.
Has anybody seen similar problem like this?
thanks.

Customized Workspace Cannot open PDF forms anymore

Hello,
I have customizaed my workspace with Flex Builder 3, Flex SDK 2 Hotfix 3. In previous months, everything is ok, and my workspace with IE 7.0 can open PDF forms inside processes. However, I do not know what is changed, my previous customized workspaces and new customized workspace can not open PDFs inside IE, but works on Mozilla Firefox. I have also tested workspace source without changing anything and deploying my server. However it still can not open PDFs, blank part is shown inside the PDF frame.
It gives an javascript error, 'undefined' is null or not an object is given
Line: 35
Character: 2
Code: 0
Error Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object
URL: http://lctk2:8080/WorkspaceTK/pdfContainer.html?Resource_78CC71E9-E28E-54CE-1451-B5E26744 9195&%2Fworkspace-server%2Fdocuments%2F8129227453799326550-310.pdf&application%2Fpdf
What can be the problem,
Any prompt answers will be appreciated.

PDF forms can be created using Acrobat or LiveCycle but the basic structure of the forms created are very different. If the form is created by Acrobat then Adobe Mobile Reader can open the form. If the form is created by LiveCycle then Adobe Mobile Reader cannot open the form and I suspect there maybe no iOS app that can process the form.
As noted, you need to use a computer to fill-in the form. You also might want to inform the bank about the issue.

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
An automated second page.

There are two approaches.
If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this. It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA.

Need to extract PDF form answers into an XML file

Hi Adobe gurus,we have a requirement like this. We have a Time Tracking and Project Monitoring System whose DB is a Oracle 10g R2. We want to automate our ''Meeting Minute'' processing.
1. The project lead will write minutes into a form PDF. i.e. a PDF where people can type in information into fields and also tick check-boxes etc.
2. The PDF will be e-mailed to the project manager.
3. Project manager will save the PDF in a HDD directory.
4. Then he will run a program.
5. Program will pickup all the PDFs in that directory one-by-one.
6. For each PDF, the program should read the fields and get the values for the form fields and create an .XML file for it.
7. Now, another program will read the XML files, extract the information and store those in a DB against each project lead.
I went through the thread PDF to XML conversion, but unfortunately it has no complete solution. This problem is present for lots of people and I would be really grateful if Adobe experts can give a complete solution. In order to make it easy to answer, I have made a small questionnaire below:
(A.) When creating a PDF form. i.e. a PDF where you can type information to questions and tick checkboxes etc., can you create the PDF with structure. i.e. for example, the field into which a user types project name should be identifiable (as a tag or something like like PROJECT_NAME), when we create an XML out of it later? Is this called creating a tagged PDF?
(B.) Does this mean that we cannot convert an untagged PDF to XML?
(C.) In order to convert a PDF to XML do we need a XSD or DTD? I ask this because, I some converters from the web, like this one, asks for the XSD. And this tool which converts a PDF to XML, asks for a rules set before converting the PDF. So is this necessary?? i.e. Do we have to have our own XSD and rules set, or does the PDF->XML utility convert to XML based on predefined ADOBE PDF tags??
(D.) Do we HAVE TO use the Adobe LiveCycle ES DLLS to do this??? I ask this becuase most of the free PDF-2-XML convertes give wrong results and has no guarantee.
(E). Can you please elaborate the process of converting PDFs to XML. Please note that we are doing this using a program (i.e. we process a batch of PDFs).
(F.) If we use ADOBE DLLS then do we have to purchase the Adobe LiveCycle ES product??
(G.) If we purchase Adobe LC ES then can we use the DLLs in Java, .Net??? Or is it possible to call the Adobe DLLs only using C or C++ (I read about this on the .Net)?
(H.) Is Adobe LiveCycle ES a separate product from the Adobe SDK and Adobe PDF writer??
Your advice would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi de Silva.

Thanks, however, I just want the user to be able to hit the Submit by E-mail button, and e-mail the form to the Manager. I believe, that this is what this button should be able to do, except that it converts the file to .XML format.
Still looking for help. thanks

Creating pdf forms from a Word doc that will need to be edited in the future

Ok, I searched everywhere for an answer to this situation... and I want to know if there is a work around.
Basically, I have a word document. I will use this Word document to create a application form. So I will manually create fields where needed after I convert the document to pdf.
Now here is the issue... at some point, the Word document will have to be changed... maybe a date or an address or something. This would mean I would have to change the original Word document, re-create the form (adding all the fields again) and re-publish it.
Can I somehow edit the text in the pdf (with the fields already in place) without having to change the original word file and re-create the form?
Has anyone had this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there an assumption that the original Word document you use to create your form (pdf) will not be changed at a later date?
Thanks.
Quinn

Ok, sorry if I haven't quite figured this out.
When I create a pdf form, AA can detect some fields and automatically creates them. This is great. For other fields, I have to create them. No problem.
So here I have Document A (MS Word) and my new pdf form (Document B).
I edit Document A and change the date in the header let's say. I re-create my pdf form (Document C).
How will Document C remember to re-associate the fields I created in Document B? Won't I have to start all over again?
This is my question. If the answer is no, then I just have to hope that when I create the new form, AA can figure out as many fields as possible (and selection choices such as bullet, check marks, etc).
Thanks again for your help.

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

Do the people who made the form SAY you can add an attachment? If not, do not consider it. The form will probably be read by a computer, so it will only look in the form fields provided.

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
Thank you in advance.

Hi Steve Odem,
If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara
