How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

How do I creat a filliable form from a scan document?

How do I create a fillable form from a scan word document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Hi melaniev10032955,
You might need to follow these steps to convert word into fillable PDF form:
Open the scanned word document
Click File> Print> Adobe PDF
A PDF file would be created that would automatically open in Acrobat XI pro
At this point, you would have a basic PDF file which still needs to get converted into fillable form
Choose "Tools> Text Recognition> In this File" to run OCR to make your scanned doc searchable.
Now, go to "Tools> Forms> Create"
Acrobat will ask some questions. On the first screen, make sure 'Use an existing file' is selected and then click Next.
On the next screen, 'Use the current document' must be selected.
You might need to edit few fields manually. Then, just click Preview button on the top and check how you PDF form appears.
Try this out and let me know if you face any problem.

Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document?

Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document and save them? Make them a personal default set opening with all future LR catalogs?

Thank you, John. That brings up the question: How to build a template?
BTW, I'm not trying to duplicate a catalog; moving it to a larger drive. When opening the newly moved catalog in LR, my former settings (identity plate, defaults, etc.) didn't migrate, though I copied the LR settings folder and its contents into the new location (drive) and opened my develop presets.

After creating a form from an existing document, viewing it in Adobe Reader for Android only shows the form fields, and not the document behind it.

Using an existing PDF file to create an editable form that I can update on my tablet as I go, but when I open the file on my tablet (using Adobe Reader for Android), it only shows the blue editable fields that I've created, but not the actual form that's supposed to be behind it. However, it views properly on my PC. Am I not saving it out correctly?

Please share the sample file with me. I am sending you instruction via private message.

Can I create a fillable form in Pages and then PDF to iWeb?

I'm a teacher and I'd like to be able to upload some PDF documents for my students to download, but would LOVE it if I could make sections of the document available for them to fill out answers, so they could, in turn, save as PDF and send back to me!
Is this possible?
I know how to get the documents into iWeb and that is working fantastic.
But I don't know how to create an area on a page that students can write in. Do I have to maybe do the whole thing in PDF Writer (never used it but have heard that it might have that capability).
THANK YOU!

Ummm.... I know a lot about podcasting, but to my knowledge there is not a way to "embed" a document in a podcast episode. The XML specifications do not do that. However, in the content of an "enhanced" podcast, you can link to a document which can be downloaded while "viewing" the podcast. For an example of that, see my podcast episode:
http://spot.pcc.edu/~dleighto/podcasts/psy201a/episode20080117133153-0800.m4b
If you go to about 29:30 in the podcast, and have opened the artwork/video viewer, you will see a link at the bottom of the viewer pane to download the file. That file, however, is stored separately from the podcast episode. In iWeb, you would set that file up on a downloads page. Then in the podcast episode, you specify the path to access the file. When the user clicks on the link in the viewer, it downloads the file.
Is that what you want to do?

Specifying Question and Answer fields in Response sheet from Pre-existing Interactive PDF

I am creating a new form from an existing interactive pdf, which has text boxes to supply answers. How can I get the response sheet to reflect the questions that are in the pdf? That is how does FormsCentral determine what the question and answer are in a pre-existing interactive pdf that is uploaded? Right now it is either putting the answers in the column next to the question or selecting the wrong heading when users respond and the response sheet is populated.
Thanks!

I'm not quite sure I understand your issue. FormsCentral create the columns in the Response Table using the field's name in the PDF.
You might want to make sure that the fields are names correctly (using Acrobat) before importing the PDF in FormsCentral.
You can also send your original PDF to [email protected] so that we can try to import it on our side and see what can be wrong. Please add a reference to this forum's thread in your email.

Create fillable form with changing source document

I want to create a fillable, saveable form in which the source document changes. Hope I am using the correct verbiage. Source document meaning the Word document that I convert to a .pdf, which I then use to create the fillable form. This source document has client/description information that consistently changes. Is there any way to easily create the fillable form, without having to insert/size/change the text boxes each time (iow, create a whole new form each time)? I am using Acrobat X.
Thanks,
Julie

If you can have a copy of the original form, create a PDF of the changed form and create a new PDF with a name different that the original form. This will be content layer of the document and not have the form field layer or form fields. You can then open the original PDF form and use the "Document => Replace pages..." to replace the underlying content of the original form while retaining the form field layer. You can now save the revised form. You may need to relocate form form fields due to changes in the form.

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

How do i create a database template from the command line?

Hi,
As part of implementing a backup and recovery strategy for a client (including disaster recovery) I want to automate the creation of a database template From an Existing Database (Structure as well as data) via a script that will run every night.
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
The idea is that nightly we will run a script that creates a database template from the Existing Database (Structure as well as data) and then transfers the 2 files involved e.g. DB_data_included.dbc and DB_data_included.DFB across to a standby server where they can be used to recreate the database in the event of us needing to after e.g. a complete server failure.
So I have a couple of questions about this that I would be very grateful if something could answer for me:
1)     Is it possible? That is, can a database template be created from some utility by supplying a series of parameter=value pairs on the command line?
2)     If yes how do I go about it, what utility do I use (the emca utility?). and what parameters do I need to supply on the command line to create the template?
3)     The intention is that the script to create the template will run in the early hours of the morning when no-one is using the database but what state does the database need to be in when the template creation script runs i.e. up, down, mounted and does the creation of a template affect the state of an already up database i.e. if I kick off the template creation script and the database is up will it switch it into mount mode or anything like that? My concern here is that I want to make sure I understand exactly what is going on so that no users or connected external systems are affected?
Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to guide me on what to do or what documentation to read.
Also if you require any clarification on what i'm asking please post up your query and i'll respond ASAP.
Kind Regards,

Sybrandb,
Firstly thanks for you reponse.
However, I don’t agree that dbca only creates empty databases otherwise why does the option to create a template from an existing database (structure as well as data) exist in the dbca wizard?
I have performed a test case where I have a created a database template including data on one 10g server. I have then used the files generated to recreate that database on a separate server. When the new database is started it is an exact copy of the original. So it’s not empty at all , it’s exactly what the client wants.
So I don’t agree that I’m gaining zero.
Why is this approach doomed to fail?
There a number of reasons why I “just set up a proper standby database”
1.     Time – I’m on a customer site in a tight engagement where the customer wants maximum value for money. I don’t have standby database skills and the customer isn’t willing to pay for me to learn on the job so please understand the tight circumstances I’m working in.
2.     Availability – As far as I know the client is running 10.2.0.3.0 standard edition. Correct me if I’m wrong but is standby db available in that edition. Where do I look to check V$OPTION.
On the RMAN duplicating a database front it’s an area I haven’t used before but I will take a look at it.
Also please revisit the context of my original posting where I state
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
So please understand that this a quick fix that the client wants developed in the minimum time possible in ADDITION to a full nightly RMAN backup being taken.
In an ideal world I’d have the time to follow best practice but in the real world of on-site customer support I just need to get the job done operating under the customer imposed constraints.
Many Thanks,

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>
<password>xxxx</password>
</user>
</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option
