Help...  Populate pdf form fields with html form inputs.

I have a website that allows users to choose the pdf document they want and create. After selecting which pdf they want to create they are redirected to a web page with a html form. The html form has questions that corresponds with the the form fields of the pdf document the user selected. When submitted the code (ASP, PHP whatever is the easier) runs a script that populates the pdf document form fields. The user is then prompted if they want to save or open the document. The newly created pdfs and the user inputs do not need to be saved on the server.
I create the pdf templates using PDF 6.0 professional
Server can be windows or linux
I understand ASP a little but will use whatever is feasible
Purchasing a program is okay as long as its reasonable and is changeable by me and I have full control.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
John

  • How to Map Proces form field with Resource form field?

    Hi,
    How to Map Proces form field with Resource form field while creating Process form in Form designer

    Are you talking about Provisioning ?
    then you do that in Data Flow under Process Defintion in OIM 10g
    In OIM 11g you use Request Dataset. In that you can directly map fields to process form.

  • Fill in pdf form fields from html form

    hi
    i went to this site http://accesspdf.com/html_pdf_form/
    and saw that it worked great
    so i downloaded their code, and uploaded it to my site (php friendly) and it gives me an error that the pdf file is corrupted
    http://inovasphere.com/pdf/pdf_form_interface.php
    can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? i made no changes to their code, just uploaded as is
    OR
    if there is another way to do this i am all ears. i want to user to fill in some fields online and then they click enter and then the fields of
    a pdf file in the same directory get filled in, and it is then delivered to the user, and the fdf file is emailed out to the site owner
    thanks!

    i stared at that page for what seemed like an eternity before i even posted here and they dont say how to install pdftk on my godaddy server that hosts my site
    is that what i am supposed to do? seems like a massive hassle. i have installed it on my PC and i use it with the DOS prompt, but there is a complete disconnect from what i do with the pdf file (dump_fields) and when i upload it to my site.
    i still get 'wrong format' 'corrupted file' error
    so unfortunately the site u are referring me back to doesnt tell the reader how to get the thing to work on their own site, which is why i posted here in the first place, hoping somebody would know. :)
    thanks for the reply tho ....

  • How to merge PDF/Word Doc with the Form I created?

    Hi All,
    Which software should I use to merger PDF/Word Doc with the form I created.
    One more question is I want the form page to show up right next to the ending or in the middle of the word doc . How to manange the placement of the sections?
    Please do let me know, its urgent.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hari.

    1) The option of creating the whole thing as a LiveCycle form means that you need to convert the Word document using LiveCycle Designer. The import utility won't preserve the fidelity of the Word document the way printing to the PDF print driver does. It will likely require a fair bit of tweaking in Designer to get it looking like you want. You will likely get frustrated, since Designer is not a word processor.
    2) You can create PDF forms in Acrobat without launching LiveCycle Designer. While they look the same to a user as forms created with LiveCycle Designer, behind the scenes they are very different. When you create a form in Acrobat you overlay fields on top of an existing PDF document that you had previously created using the PDF print driver. There is an extensive scripting model for these "Acroforms". The technology pre-dates LiveCycle yet Adobe continues to improve the two forms models in parallel. In Acrobat, open a PDF and select tools-->forms-->show forms toolbar.
    3) I recommend this option if it's feasible. I don't know what you mean by "doesn't show up in a flow". If you're going to use the form in Acrobat 7, then save it as Acrobat 7 compatible in LiveCycle Designer. This is one of the options in the Save As dialog of LiveCycle Designer.

  • 2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

    I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response) throws
    ServletException, IOException
    oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
    try {
    FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
    fsb.processForm(request);
    File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
    File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
    BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
    out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
    out.close();
    When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
    The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
    I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
    Thanks,
    Chad

  • Form field with comma delimited value list to cfc

    I have a form that passes a field to an action page with a
    comma delimited value.
    For instance the field name is: Program_ID
    value for program_ID is: 31, 32
    I am able to treat this variable as a list and check its
    length, and loop over the list prior to passing it to a cfc using
    the attached code:
    When I try and pass the variable as a string to a cfc and
    invoke a query, cf no longer recognizes my var as a list.
    Therefore the code attached does not function...
    Is there a specific var type that will pass through as a list
    and allow me to run the code block attached?
    thanks
    Craig

    Ok answered my own question.. Here is the answer for those
    who are interested...
    initialize var for cfc in cfinvoke statement
    <cfinvokeargument name="Program_ID"
    value="#Form.Program_ID#">
    pass argument to cfc as a string
    <cfargument name="Program_ID" type="string"
    required="true">
    use listqualify to parse list in cfc and set new var
    <cfset selectedProgramID =
    ListQualify(Program_ID,"'",",","CHAR")>
    use the new var in the following statement in sql code:
    ((Program_ID) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(selectedProgramID)#))
    The following code handles a form field with a single value
    or a comma delimited value.

  • Why does the data disappear from my form fields when my form is sent over to client ?

    Hi all,
    I don't know if this is just happening a few times or ALL the time unfortunately:( I normally send over estimates (as regular pdfs) with some filled out Acrobat forms that make up part of the estimate (these include terms of agreement, project details, etc.). Now, before I send out the pdfs I password protect the entire pdf so that nothing can be changed, but that the pdf can be printed at high quality.
    Well, what is happening when my client opens up the pdf (usually on a Windows machine) is that NOTHING APPEARS in all of the form fields where I had input and saved the data! Yet when I open up the form on my Mac in Acrobat, or Reader or Preview, all looks just fine. Any idea why this is happening and what I could do to prevent it from happening in the future? I am using Acrobat X.
    Thank you kindly,
    Christine

    Hi Gilad,
    I never use Preview and did not use Preview at all before sending the document over to my most recent client either.
    I only opened Preview up this morning after I discovered that all of the form data had disappeared on his end! And the only reason I opened up Preview was because I already knew it looked fine in Acrobat so wanted so wanted to view the form in a different application.
    My client would not even have notified me about it had he not sent the signed form back to me and I saw there was no data there! I then called him and asked him about the missing data and he said that he thought I had simply sent over the form purposely with blank fields:(
    I have just emailed him to ask him what application he opened it up in. My understanding is that he is on Windows because ne mentioned to me his company was using Windows when we last spoke. Perhaps he has a personal Macbook where he opened it? I just don't know and can hopefully soon find out:)
    But THANK YOU for letting me know about that script! I appreciate it:) I have now downloaded and installed it and will just have to use it on ALL of my forms before sending them out:)

  • Is it possible to populate an information field with the expect docURL?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to populate an information field with a function that checks for the expected docURL at checkIn time?
    I need to pass the value of the docURL of the checked in content item to a bpel process.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    To test:
    1. I created an information field called 'docURL'.
    2. Added a rule called 'docDisplayURL'.
    3. Selected global rule with Priority 1 and use rule activation condition.
    4. Added a condition called 'CheckIn'
    Selected 'Use Event'. 'On Submit'.
    Selected 'Use Action', ' CheckIn New', 'Check In Selected', 'Content Information', 'Content Update', 'Search', Clicked Ok.
    5. Selected the Fields Tab, Selected the 'Information Fields' in the Add Rule Field.
    6. Changed the Type to 'Info Only'.
    7. Selected the Is Derived Field and in Custom entered the following:
    <$DocUrl$>
    8. Now my rule 'displayDocURL' shows up.
    9. When I go to an item content information I don't see the 'DocUrl' field populated. What could I be doing wrong?

  • How to populate a hidden form field with a value passed from another page

    I'm using PHP/MySQL and DW CS4.
    I am trying to obtain the external key for a table, and include it as a hidden field in a form for a second table.
    The user selects a "need" from a list and is taken to a new page which displays the need selected in the prior page and a form the user can fill out with details of his offer, there should also be a hidden field in this form that contains the index to the needs table, this hidden field holds the external key. Most of the code is working, except for populating the hidden field with the external key. I have proven(by printing it to the screen) that I have obtained the external key and stored it in a variable ($saveNeedId) . What I'm unable to do is assign this variable to the hidden field in the form I'm about to store in a table. Sometimes I get zero and sometimes I get the index to the first need in the table. This ought to be simple but I can't get it to work, I must be missing something obvious - still very new to PHP.
    Here's the code that sets up the variable and prints it to the screen for test purposes
          $saveNeedId = "-1";
              if (isset($_GET['needId'])) {
                $saveNeedId = $_GET['needId'];
                print $saveNeedId;
    Here's the code that sets up the hidden fields in the form, the one I'm trying to set up is the first one, needId
         <input type="hidden" name="needId" value="<?php echo $row_rsNeedsUnmet['needId']; ?>" />
         <input type="hidden" name="offerId" value="" />
         <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />
    The page where the user sees the list of needs is here www.hollisterairshow.com/weneed.php
    I'd really appreciate sone help with this, I've tried all combinations of double quotes, percent signs and nothing works...sigh.

  • Need to Change data in PDF form field with importData operation

    This should be simple, right?
    I have a PDF form that is submitted.  At a certain step in the process, I need to modify the value of one field from within the process.  I am using a PDF document in the default formData document variable.  To do this, I am using the exportData operation from the FormDataIntegration service to get XML.  I then use the setValue service to modify one node of the XML.  Finally, I use the importData operation from the FormDataIntegration service to import the modified data back into the PDF.
    Problem is that I am getting an error.  It says: ALC-FDI-001-304: Only XDP data is supported with XFA forms.
    Any advice?  Jasmin, Jayan, Paul, anyone?

    My theory is that when you export the data you do get xdp data.
    Now  when you modify the node you don't have the right xPath to that node and if that's the case, it might be overwriting the entire xml.
    This is causing the xml not to be in xdp data format and you get the error.
    Could you post the data you get from the exportData operation and then the xml you try to use by the importData?

  • A form field (for a client fax number) on my own web site is remembering my email address used to log into the site. The usual clearing of the remembered entry works OK, but evey time I remember the login it automatically populates this one field with my

    The form where this happens contains an email field as well as a password field, so it does have both of the fields that are on the login page. It is used to modify the details of the user of our site and is accessed by the administrators, not the users themselves. To auto fill the fax field (which is named _fax) with my email address is very strange. If I log in as a different admin user then the email address I use to login appears in the field. The password field is also appears on the form and is being populated, presumably with my password. How can Firefox get it wrong and put an entry in a field with a different name, and why that field and not other empty fields on the form?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Help with HTML form,please!

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to write an HTML form that would allow user to login if he/she has already created username and password AND that would let him/her create an account in case the user is not registered yet. The code below creates a form that allows the user login after what this provided data would be sent to some servlet:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Meeting-scheduling</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H2>Login To Meeting-Scheduling Program</H2>
    <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="someServlet">
    Username: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="username" SIZE="25"><BR>
    Password: <INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD" NAME="password" SIZE="25"><P>
    <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit">
    <INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Clear">
    </FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    Now,I can't figure out how to add another button, for example, that would trigger another servlet and/or open another form and that would allow user to create an acount. Is this feasible at all? What I basically need is two forms on a single page triggering two different servlets. Thanks a lot,Jimmy.

    Yes u can trigger as many as servlets u want ,by using Javascript.make a normal button to act as submit button
    for e.g
    document.frm.action="/servlet/servletname"
    dovument.frm.method=post
    document.frm.submit()
    I hope this helps u :),if u still have problem mail me at

  • Tabbing issues - form fields and HTML links

    I have a few HTML links in the top of a page with a form starting half way down the page. When using the tab order, I am able to specify tab order no problem in the form fields but when previewing or using the PDF and tabbing through, the tab order gets thrown out of wack and jumps up to the HTML links from tab order, 1 -2 HTML - HTML - 3- 4- so on...  I am unable to scpecify a tab order for the HTML links as it gives no option. I have tried to send the text field to a back layer but it does nothing. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

    For many people submit by e-mail can never work, because their PC is
    not set up to send email. For example, countless millions use only
    Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo or similar.
    It's also possible you set options (like "submit whole PDF") that
    don't work with the free Reader.
    It's best to think of "submit by e-mail" as something to help you in
    the prototyping before moving on to a proper web-based solution.
