Need help with saving pdf form

I created a quote form for our sales people to fill out and email to their customers. I can't figure out how to set it up so that after they fill out the form it can be saved with the field locked so they cant be changed. Is that even a possibility? I've been working on this for 2 days and just keep going in circles with it.

You can set up the form so that the fields get set to read-only after the salesman completes the form but before sending it out. This idea is discussed in this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3314067#3314067
If you get stuck, post again.

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

Hi Gurus,
I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
Regards,
Srini

see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
it says:
preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.

BJagdishwar.

Need help with PHP contact form

Hi guys,
I've made a PHP contact form for my site and need help with a couple of things:
The form action links an external PHP script (scripts/contact-form-script.php) but is there a way I can have it so the PHP script for the form is contained within the same PHP file as my contact form (contact.php)?
I tried just putting the form code at the top of contact.php but the browser automatically reads the anti-spam re-direct, so maybe that needs revising too?
The second thing is, how can I make the Name, Email and Message fields mandatory? So if a user tries to submit the form and hasn't filled in one of the required fields and clicks submit, contact.php reloads with a message at the top of the form saying something like 'Complete the required fields' and highlights the relevant field with a red border?
Here's the code for contact.php:
<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/contact-form-script.php" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
<p><strong>Name:*</strong><br />
<input name="name" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>E-mail:*</strong><br />
<input name="email" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Telephone:</strong><br />
<input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Company:</strong><br />
<input name="company" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Address:</strong><br />
<input name="address1" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><input name="address2" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Town:</strong><br />
<input name="town" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>County:</strong><br />
<input name="county" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
p><strong>Postcode:</strong><br />
<input name="postcode" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Message:*</strong><br />
<textarea name="message" cols="55" rows="8" class="ctextField"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" value="SEND MESSAGE" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>
</form>
And this is the PHP I'm using to submit the form data for contact-form-script.php:
<?php
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Contact from website";

Need help filling out pdf forms on iPad

Adobe Reader (11.0.1) on my iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3) is not letting me fill out a form (just a bunch of text fields) that was created with Acrobat 8 Pro/LiveCycle. The form can be filled out fine with Reader 11.x on my WinXP desktop though. Any ideas?

No, you'll be just the same.
You need to not use LiveCycle Designer, but make the form in Adobe Acrobat. Everything you know about making forms in LiveCycle Designer will not help you at all.
These are a different kind of form, made differently, and with different features (e.g. they are always static in layout).
Also, you start with an existing PDF (not a form) for all the background and fixed text, then just add fields.
There are other things to do like avoid JavaScript. Start with very simple forms and test features, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list.

Help with saved pdf' s,"more request cannot be completed.Service book information not found"

Hey from south africa,I'm using the curve 8520 on MTN service provider.I came across a problem a while ago where I had to setup my email address again,I had an email with some pdf's saved.They were working well until the re-setup,now when I try to load ones that I haven't read it gives me the error "More request cannot be completed.Service book information not found".I've sent the email back to myself but no luck,help.Thanks in advance.

You need to reset your email account again on your device & send the service books from the same interface on your device. Wait for the 30mins & register now yourself from the handset itself by following the below steps-click on Option Application-click on Advanced - Click on Host Routing table - Click menu key - select Register now option & Click, Follow these steps twice. Now go into your email application & click on it. Then press the menu key & scroll down,you can see Reconcile now option, Click on it twice !
Now try to open that PDF again !

Need Help with this PDF generation

Greetings,
Our company had a subcontractor (that is no longer
available) create a small system for a client that allows the
client to input some text in a flash form, and the system places
the text at a certain spot on a previosly created PDF document. For
80% of the users, this works perfectly and then can print and save
the customized pdf document. For 20% of users, they can see and
print the customized pdf, but when they save it, there is no
customization (area is blank). Can anyone help us understand why
this happens, and how to fix?
HERE ARE DIRECT NOTES FROM OUR CLIENT:
Users are able to input their customized info.
The customized info shows up in the PDF on the brochure.
Users can print the brochure with the customized info.
Users can save the BLANK PDF (without their info)
Users can NOT save the PDF with their info in it.
The exact message is in the top of the window with the PDF
brochure and says "please fill out the following form. You can not
save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if
you would like a copy for your records."
Here is the input
form, feel free to test.
When you input into the brochure1.cfm Form, it sends the data
to
http://www.caduceuswebs.net/brochure1output.cfm
, which then spanwns the customized pdf to open.
If you want to see the native pdf, it is here:

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
While getting rid of the ";" helps, but the output of the select statement is not displayed?When you do a SELECT statement in PL/SQL, you have to select the results into variables or arrays.
Try something like this:
DECLARE
     CURSOR C1 IS
                   SELECT TABLE_NAME
            FROM    DB_MGMT.CTRL_TAB_RETENTION
            WHERE   RETENTION_PERIOD_IN_MONTHS = 11
            AND     rownum                  < 2;
     min_dt_skey    NUMBER;
     max_dt_skey    NUMBER;
     stmt            VARCHAR2 (100);
BEGIN
    FOR i IN C1
     LOOP
        -- dbms_output.put_line('Table Name: ' || i.TABLE_NAME);
        stmt :='SELECT min(DT_SKEY), max(DT_SKEY) FROM DWH_RSRC_PERF.' || i.TABLE_NAME;

Really need help with basic static forms?!?!

I was thrown into creating forms for our Business Managers and I am not a developer in any way! I am a Recruiter, but somewhat tech savvy (or at least I thought I was).
I am trying to create basic static forms. I started by using Adobe Professional and them moved to LiveCycle Designer because of what I thought were better "editable" options when creating the form. I want to be able to send my manager's forms via e-mail (PDF), they can enter the requesting information in the fields, save a copy for themselves, print, and e-mail to me. We are not using any of the Adobe Server things, I don't want them to submit via an e-mail button on the form. We are a non-profit organization and my managers are using all different versions of reader.
I am getting extremely frustrated because in testing the form everything seems to be working properly including tab order, print, save and everything I want it to do. Then, I send them out for my managers to use, for some Manager's they work great, no problems at all! But then, I keep getting these weird issues from different Managers with the same form. For one of them, what they typed in the field, now looks like it's behind the text box, like when you select Highlight all, you can see what he typed, but then if you click into the text box, you can see what he typed. Another Manager said, two (crucial) fields would not show the text entered when she tries to save or print, but on screen you can see it????
So after the rambling, I guess my questions are: should I be using Live Cycle to create such basic forms or should I be using Adobe? Can anyone recommend a good "FOR DUMMIES" book that will help me figure out what I am doing wrong, and not explain in "IT" language?
This is really getting embarrassing!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

1. Make sure to set the PDF target version. Goto File -> Form Properties (see the first screenshot attached)
     Find out the minimum Reader version used in your organization and set this value accordingly. If you are not sure, select the least recent version.
2. two (crucial) fields would not show the text entered when she tries to save or print, but on screen you can see it
     This may be due to the visibility settings of the fields. Just make sure that you have selected visible instead of visible (screen only)
     See the second screenshot attached
Hope this may help you.

Need Help with Reducing PDF Size

Hey I'm having trouble reducing my PDF file sizes.
First off, they were school projects created in Adobe Illustrator that I save to PDF form.
I'm trying to email several of them to potential employers (through Gmail) but the file size limit is 25MB, and some of my files exceed that limit.
For example I have one PDF file that is 72MB.
I've compressed the file by right-clicking on the icon --- I've also reduced the file in Acrobat and that doesn't do anything.
Now I try to reduce the files and Acrobat tells me:
"The PDF document contained image masks that were not downloaded."
So can anyone help me? I would greatly appreciate this from everyone who has time to comment and give me suggestions/help.
Thanks.

If you can find when a pictures is loaded (not when it is getting loaded, but after it has just finished being loaded), that is when you can check the size using the Loader (loader.width and loader.height).

Need help with Automatic Generating Form Numbers

Hello,
I am new to all this and have found myself stuck trying to figure out how to have my forms automatiacally generate a new number each time it is used. I tried looking through similar posts but do not understand the directions given there. If someone could help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Before opening my forms for responses I am creating a column with my starting form number - 1. in the cell above(first response) I am setting an equation =B2 +1. All incoming responses automatically generate an ID number within my responses table. The form itself will not present the number, but if you were looking for an easy way to track responses w/ an ID it has worked well for me so far.

Need help with receiving offline form in GP

I'm new to GP and interactive forms on EP 7.0 SP15 and running into a problem with submitting an offline form and GP starting the process. The examples were followed on how to set up the callable object with an interactive form. I've got the form set up to be used as a standalone interactive form and starting a process upon completion. I've selected the process which is active and completed the mapping. Went through the steps to manage impersonalized interactive forms. Downloaded the form, entered data and submit. Get the message back that it was received successfully. Went back and checked manage impersonalized... and can see that the form was returned. Go back to Runtime and can't find the process listed anywhere. Where is it going? Is there a way to track it down? Looked at Maintain queues and checked each queue, can't find anything with a timestamp around the time the last form was submitted. Any ideas on how to figure this out would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Kathy

So I was wondering which part of my codes should be changed??Did not look at the code closely, but I am guessing the problem lies in the instantiation of the FileWriter. Try [this constructor|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/FileWriter.html#FileWriter(java.io.File,%20boolean)] (<- link). The documentation is a wonderful thing. ;-)
And generally on the subject of getting help:
- There is no need for two question marks. One '?' means a question, while 2 or more typically means a dweeb.
- Do your best to [write well|http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#writewell] (<- link). Each sentence should start with an upper case letter. Not just the first one.
Also, when posting code, code snippets, XML/HTML or input/output, please use the code tags. The code tags protect the indentation and formatting of the sample. To use the code tags, select the sample and click the CODE button.
