How to creater dynamic form in Acrobat 9

Can I make a form that will dynamically add pages (with header and footer) when needed in Adobe Acrobat 9 and if so where is the best documentation on how to do this?

You can dynamically add pages using templates. This requires some relatively simple JavaScript programming. It will work in Acrobat (Pro or Standard) and Reader 11 (Win/mac), but not previous versions of Reader. Here are some links to the Acrobat javaScript reference:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_Dev_Templates.80.1.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_Dev_Templates.80.2.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1216.html
If you don't get a two-paned window with the navigation pane on the left, click "Show Navigation" icon in the upper-left.
If it has to work with previous versions for Reader, Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows comes with the LiveCycle Designer application. With it you can create dynamic XFA forms that can work with Reader.

    A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/wzXkmL

    I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

  • How to create dynamic forms

    Dear All,
    How is it possible to create a dynamic form controls in ADF?
    Well this is how my use case goes:
    A web service returns a schema that display the list of questions that user needs to supply.
    <questions>
         <question>
              <type>text<type>
              <data>What is your Name</data>

    </questions>When this is rendered, I am should be able to see
    this sample pages in a form layout style.
    <af:inputText label="Label 1" id="it1"/>
    <af:selectOneRadio label="Label 1" id="sor1">
    </af:selectOneRadio>
    <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 1" id="soc1">
    </af:selectOneChoice>Sorry the question above is very trivial but I just wanted to simplify things?
    Has anyone done this use case before?

    Hi,
    I tried that code actually but you need some sort of an event before the components are shown.
    Say an event like when a button is click then you do some PPR.
    But my use case is like this, I need to create the component list from my managed bean
    before the page is shown to the user.
    Here's what I tried.
    I created a binding on my managed bean. Then I created a hidden output text
    and then I bind the value to a method of my managed bean.
    The purpose of the output text is so that I could call my managed bean method.
    <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1"
        binding="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.dynamicForm}">
    </af:panelFormLayout>
    <af:outputText id="ot2" visible="false"
        value="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.generateRandomForm}"/>     My managed bean method is the one that populates the form
    public class MyBean{
          private RichPanelFormLayout dynaForm;
         public String generateRandomForm(){
              RichInputText text1 = new RichInputText();
              text1.setLabel("What is your name");
              dynaForm.getChildren().add(text1);
              AdfFacesContext ctx = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            ctx.addPartialTarget(this.getDynaForm());
              return null;
    }But, I notice that nothing is happening.
    What could be wrong in my approach?
    Thanks

    Dear All,
    I have one Table called PRODUCT_MASTER where product details are stored. Say product A,B,C,D are stored in the table. Another table called SUB_PRODUCT_MASTER, which contains sub product details.Say A1,A1,B1,B2, B3,C1, C2, C3, D1,D2,D3.
    Now, I want to create a dynamic form based on product,sub product. for a whole month. For better under standing here is the format.
    PRODUCT A B C D
    SUB_PROD A1 A2 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 D3
    Days
    1 x x x x x x x x
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    Now whenever I add one row in the PRODUCT)MASTER table and SUB_PRODUCT_MASTER table, Form should add one column in the form automatically. e.g. If I add Product E with two Sub product E1 and E2 then form should add ptoduct E column in the form with sub products E1 and E2 as per above format.

    Then, save the form with new name and it's gonna work.

  • How to create a form that requires thousands of checkboxes?

    Hello forum members,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.  I've been searching the internet/forums for the past few hours and I can't seem to find any information on how to create a form with many checkboxes.  I do not want to have to give individual names to thousands of checkboxes.  I'm hoping there's an easy solution to my problem.  Maybe I don't even need to use checkboxes.
    Here it is...
    I'm a DJ and wedding season is coming up.  For each wedding that I do, I usually give the bride and groom a list of my songs and they choose a bunch of songs that they'd like to have at their reception.  In the past, I've just been sending them a webpage word document with the songs and they'd send me their selections in a different document or directly in the reply email.  I'd like to make this process easy for them (and myself) by making a pdf document where they can simply place a checkmark beside the songs that they want and then send it back to me.  As a bonus (if it's possible) i'd like to be able to export the songs that they selected into a separate document so that I don't have to go through the entire pdf (with thousands and thousands of songs) when they send it back to me.
    I would be ever greatful if somebody help me or direct me to a link with some additional information.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    George, thank you very much for your quick reply and good advice.

  • Creating a form using Acrobat 9

    I'm trying to create a form using Acrobat 9 and know how to insert check boxes and text fields but when I enter in data into the fields it copies it through the document.  How can I create a field that I can cut and paste throughout the document but allow it to have separate data in it from the rest of the fields?

    You'll need to rename all of the fields you copy & paste so that each one
    of them has a unique name. Fields with the same name will automatically
    have the same value.

  • How to create a form to be filled out on the iPad?

    Hello,
    I have created a daily report/timesheet pdf form to be filled out by our jobsite superintendents on their iPads.  I have tried everything (including downloading as many free-and some not so free-apps from the app store) and still cannot get my forms to work on the iPads.  Most of these will not even open my file.  I have no problem purchasing an app, but I would love to know that it will indeed work beforehand. 
    My questions are:
    Can I create a form with Acrobat Pro that can be filled in on an iPad? 
    What iPad apps actually offer this function?
    (If we make it this far) Are there any limitations to the complexity of the forms I create?  
    Additional Info:  I emailed the pdf form document to myself as an attachment.  On my desktop, it opens like a normal PDF.  On my iPad it is labelled as "winmail.dat" and will only not open.
    Thank you.

    Thanks George.
    Does the PDF Expert app allow you to include drop downs, check boxes, etc in your forms?  At the moment, all I need the app for is to fill this form... naturally, we can find more uses for it as we use it, but I would hate to download it only to find that it won't work.  Could I by chance email you the form to see if it will work?   
    Regarding the "winmail.dat" issue, I emailed it in HTML, Rich, and plain.  It shows up the same in every one.
    Thanks again.
