How do i distribute a form within a document?

I have one page within a document I would like to use as a form and retrieve the information, how do I send my document and retrieve the information from the form within the doc?

If you're using FormsCentral to collect the responses, after you import the PDF into FormsCentral, open the form in FormsCentral and you'll see the Distribute tab as shown in the screen shot below:
It allows you to download the enabled PDF, which you can then distribute to users or post on a web site.

How do I distribute a form?

In my Distribute tab, I am only given the options to Open/Close the form and to Download the form. No other options or tabs are shown.

I had distributed the PDF, but when filling out the form and pressing SUBMIT, nothing happens. The data is not transmitted; the user doesn't get a completion message. So I figured I had distributed it incorrectly. I had gone outside of FormsCentral and attached the form to an email. Was this correct?

How do you distribute your forms? Can I put them on a site?

I am hoping you can answer another question for me. Its regarding distribution. It seems that forms can only be filled out when they are sent you the person which seems kind of laboring and we don’t have time to have people request that they need to fill out a form, and then us sending it to them.
Is there a way to have the form on a website that allows people to access it, fill it out, and submit it whenever they need to? Instead of asking to send it to them?

Srini, putting them on a website as a link is exactly what I am trying to do. This is possible with acroforms but when i convert my acroform to a livecycle form, i seem to lose that functionality because of the XML nature that it now has.
I work in a small department and no one wants to pay money to purchase something else. We meet the 500 user EULA for sure.
If you know how I can do this and where I can get more information, I would apprecate it. I am freaking out at work because I got everyones hopes up and now I dont know if it is capable of doing wat I said it would.

How to distribute a form with multiple submit buttons?

I have a form that has multiple submit buttons depending on the information that is being entered and then who the information should go to. When I try to disbribute the form, I get an error message stating the following, "Acrobat is unable to distribute this form because it contains multiple submit buttons with different formats or return URLs." Is anyone able to let me know how I can distribute the form?

Sounds as if you need your own web script to process submissions - written by an experienced web programmer (I very strongly recommend someone familiar with all the latest security weaknesses, and not a project for anyone else). Your needs are (it seems to me) too complex for Adobe's automatic system.

Having problems distributing my form

Hi,
I can create a form just fine but when I come to distribute it, I get as far as choosing my recipients, clicking send and then the 'encountered a problem and need to close' error message pops up. This is the same no matter which distribution option I choose. I have Acrobat Standard but downloaded the 30 day trial of Pro to see if it made any difference - it didn't. This is getting rather annoying! Any ideas on how to successfully distribute my form?
Also, I love Adobe Forms Central - why can't the same form creation tool be used in Acrobat? It is so much easier to use for non-technical people like me.
Thanks for your time.

Someone from our company's IT team helped figure it out. I don't know if you're using it at work like I am, so I'll say that this is what worked for me, your mileage may vary. Our OS is Windows XP Professional.
It seems like something in my Local Profile in Windows might have been corrupted, causing this issue. Here's what we did:
We installed the latest Acrobat update just to be sure; while that didn't solve the issue entirely, it seemed like a good start.
When IT logged into my machine as Admin, the Distribute Form worked just fine. This seemed to indicate perhaps a permissions issue, although that turned out not to be the case with some further testing.
IT ended up re-creating my Local Profile - first they renamed my old Desktop folder in order to save the files on there. They created a new Local Profile, and once I rebooted and logged back in, that seemed to solve the issue with Acrobat crashing. I'm now able to Distribute just fine.
We recopied my old Desktop files to the "new" Desktop folder and all was well.
Hope this helps someone having the same issue. Consult your IT help desk for assistance.
Cheers and good luck,
Kevin

Distributing a form through FormsCentral

Hello,
I have a subscription to the Creative Cloud. I'm tyring to distribute a form through FormsCentral. It keeps telling me I have to upgrade. How do I distribute my form? I don't have to upgrade anything, do I?
I did create my FormsCentral account before signing up for Creative Cloud. Is that causing a problem?

FormsCentral is not part of the Creative Cloud. They are two separate subscriptions. It doesn't matter when you created your FormsCentral account. You need to upgrade your free account to Basic or Plus if you want all of the FormsCentral functionalities.

How do I download a form letter doc. ?

I need this form doc. transferred to a task center to fill in for easy service with email for collaboration. How to proceed?
The form is a scanned doc that needs to be in a word processor for fill in type.

Hi,
As it is a scanned doc, so first of all, run OCR on it, so that the text become renderable.
Open the file in Acrobat -> Go to Tools -> Text Recognition -> In This File.
Now, if you want to make a form for collaboration then you need to make a Acrobat Form.
Tools -> Forms.
Please refer to following link to know more about forms:

You can rotate pages with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

XML structure from Form Based Published Document

Hi experts,
I want to read the contents of a Form Based XML Document to my Web Dynpro project. I'm using this code to do so:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setText(wdContext.currentTableContentElement().getObjectName());
readXML(wdContext.currentTableContentElement().getLink());
IWDClientUser wdClientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = wdClientUser.getSAPUser();
//create an ep5 user from the retrieved user
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser ep5User = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext(ep5User);
/Specify the path of ur document here./
RID pathRID = RID.getRID(wdContext.currentTableContentElement().getLink());
IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(pathRID,context);
InputStream in;
in = resource.getContent().getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytesread = 0;
while ((bytesread = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, bytesread);
String myData = out.toString();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setText2(myData);
The problem now is: When I'm reading the contents of a Form Based XML Document I'm getting HTML code from the document.
When I try to do the same with an XML document that wasn't created by a XML Form, I get the contents in default XML markup.
My question is: how can I get the Form Based XML Document to my Web Dynpro Project in default XML markup?
Thanks,
Edwin van der Palen

Hi E.,
I guess this an XML namespace issue. I'm creating XmlForms-style documents and had to add an XML namespace to my root element to make them visible as such:
Namespace xf = Namespace.getNamespace("xf", "http://www.sapportals.com/wcm/app/xmlforms");
root.addNamespaceDeclaration(xf);
So what I'd suggest to you is reading out the IResource and treating the content as XML:
Document document = new SAXBuilder().build(content.getInputStream());
Element root = document.getRootElement();
Namespace xf = Namespace.getNamespace("xf", "http://www.sapportals.com/wcm/app/xmlforms");
root.removeNamespaceDeclaration(xf);
Hope this helps!
regards,
Christian

How can I bookmark a page in a document?

How can I bookmark a page within a document?

Hi rhirota,
This can't be done with the CreatePDF service. To add a bookmark to a PDF, you need Adobe Acrobat. We offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro
Specific instructions for creating a bookmarking in a PDF can be found here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7ccf.w.html# WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7cc6.w

How to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat

I need to know how to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat. I have a request from a customer to do so and after googling I have came up with nothing. Also the customer would like it if they could convert said pdf form to a microsoft word document with the text form.

There's no limit on the number of characters you can enter into a text
field, unless you set it as such.

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

How do I distribute a PDF form to an outlook contact group?

How do I distribute a PDF form to an outlook contact group?

I've had better luck converting my PDF forms to WORD documents by first printing to PDF so that I get a "non-form" PDF then saving as try67 noted. The conversion came out much cleaner. In my case it i for folks that need to make edits to the format or data submitted to us via PDF form - the type of edits that would be challenging if done to a PDF.
