Pdf form filling

I have created multiple page fillable form in PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Many fields the user/we need to repeat the same value in different pages on the same form.  How to fill up automatically. ?

For each group of 5 fields you will need to uniquely name each field as any field with a shared name with any other field will take on the value of the other field.
If you are going to use Acrobat, then you could use a hidden template to create the additional pages with the renamed fields.
A Lesson in Templates
Another option would be to have the fields visible but set to readonly and only unlock the fields as needed by the selection.

    Can anyone advise please?
    Help share your knowlegde

    Thanks for the reply keaneSenses.
    I am actually looking for a c API that is preferably free but willing to pay for one if need be. I found a lot of API's searching on google but the ether java , c# or C++ and trying to port them is proving difficult.
    I have used Haru PDF to create PDF files in the past but i can not use it to modify an existing PDF and  or to fill in forms.
    If anyone knows of or has used another API please let me know?
    I really need to find a one that is compatible with CVI

  • How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

    Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

  • PDF Form Filler

    Has anyone used the App - PDF Form Filler and Sign?  If so, pros & Cons

    Hi Bill, thanks for your reply,
    actually the site uses flash to present the form for filling. i tried building such a form using flash but its too complicated, im sure there is a much easier way.
    say i create a editable form using Acrobat Pro, how would i go about embedding it into the webpage ? and allowing for it to be printed but not saved (the flash solution wrapps the form in a flash file therefor not allowing for a user to save it as a PDF file.
    is there a way to do this ?
    (im not quite sure why the link i sent is password protected, can't you  access it ?  http://www.pdffiller.com/index.php - take alook at their service)
    here is another example of how i would like it to look

  • PDF form filled in Preview does not display correctly in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

    I recently received a PDF form from my bank, and filled in the fields and affixed my signature. Saved the form. The recipeint of the form opened the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the fields don't display the filled in form, unless you click in the field. After you click out of the field, the entry disappears. When you print the form from Reader or Acrobat, the fields are blank, but the signature prints.
    Before saving the form from Preview, the fields appear normally in Reader/Acrobat.
    Running Lion 10.7 and Preview 5.5.
    Anyone else have this happen?

    I've since found out that there is somewhat of a "fix" that addresses a way to see the form entries in Acrobat, but doesn't resolve the problem the Preview creates. There is a script available on the Adobe forum that can be installed into Adobe Acrobat: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html. The link and also explains the problem which should really be addressed by Apple. After installation, it will appear in the Edit menu of Acrobat. Once you open a Preview form, selecting "Fix Field Appearances" will repair the form so that the entries are visible.
    Preview will still create bad forms, but this script will allow them to be visible in Acrobat. Unfortunately if you're sending a form to someone, there's no way to know if the recipient is using Preview or Acrobat and whether they even know about the problem. So you would have to create the form in Preview, open it in Acrobat, fix the field appearances and re-save. So it's not really a fix, just a work-around. Still don't use Preview for this reason.
    I don't know if the script works with Adobe Reader, there's no mention that it does or doesn't in the forum entry.

  • How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

    I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
    I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
    My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
    In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
    That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
    I can't find a way to go back.
    The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
    Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

  • A question about pdf form filling?

    Hello,
    I received a form in PDF format as an attachment in an e-mail reply from a travel company. I have to fill in this form and return it to the sender.
    I could print out the PDF form manually fill the required field and either fax to them or scan & send it as an attachment BUT
    I would wish to open the document on my Mac Book Air -fill in the requested field by typing in my Mac Book Air and send it back as an attachment.
    Is that possible? I could not do this in my Win 7 computer but wondered if my Mac would have tricks up it's sleeve to accomplish this task?
    Thank you for your time to answer my question.
    Regards

    Thank you for your time and an answer.
    I do have Microsoft Word.
    I do not know how to insert the PDF as watermark. Where do you find the picture radio button?
    Would you mind telling the step involved  in getting my pdf file opened in the Microsoft Word?
    Regards

  • PDF Forms filled out don't display on Ipad2

    I use Dropbox to organize many of my files.  Some of those files are PDF forms that have been filled out.  They display correctly on my PC and my android phone.  However, they show up as blank forms on my Ipad2.  Why?  I have tried GoodReader, Dropbox, PDFReader -- they show the PDF form, but none of the information that has been added to the form.  It seems like this is an Ipad limitation.  Any help or solutions would be great.
    Regards
    Bruce

    Obviously an old OP, but I stumbled on this problem myself recently.  As of Oct 2012 ibooks, Dropbox, and most other pdf viewers don't seem to hande filled out Adobe forms.
    The good news is that the current version of the Adobe Reader app does (and its free!).
    I was pretty sad after buying FileBrowser and DropbBox Pro only to to discover that forms were showing up blank -- the Adobe Reader app is a life saver

  • PDF forms filled with IOS device

    Hi, we usually distribute pdf forms to be used via iPad. Actually we manually collect forms with Adobe X pro; Could we use formcentral to collect automatically forms which has been completed and sent via iPad?
    Thank you very much in advance
    Best regards

    Lorenzo,
    Forms created using FormsCentral are HTML based.  Users "fill out" the form using their web browser of choice.  The replies are collected by the FormsCentral server.  This workflow works with desktop PCs, smartphones, and tablets.

  • PDF Form Fill via web page and render

    I have a PDF created by Adobe Acrobat (Pro?) that allows form entry. What I'd like to do is allow a user to enter data into a WEB FORM (jsp), and then populate the data into a PDF for redisplay to the user. The redisplayed PDF should not be editable. At that point, I want them to submit it.
    My questions so far are...
    1. I've downloaded XPAAJ and gotten it to fill the PDF with entries, and can re-render it. However, since it's a form, the user can "edit" and print, but not save. On display, I'd want this to be a locked form. I didn't see anywhere in the XPAAJ that you did this.
    2. Is XPAAJ a licensed product or do I have it to use freely for the above requirement? If not, what must I purchase? I'll check on what Adobe product/licenses we have currently.
    Thanks -- appreciating any feedback.

    You link to them the same way you link to any other page.
    In code view:
    <p><a href="url/to/folder/mypdffile.pdf">Click Here For PDF File</a></p>
    In designer view:
    Select the text you want to turn into a link.
    Insert>Hyperlink  then point to your pdf file.

  • How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

    OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
    How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

    OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
    p=0;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line.  Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
    Next, I tried this:
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
    What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
    Is this possible?

  • Using iPad2 to fill PDF forms with calculating cells

    I currently have the PDF Expert app. installed.  I have created a PDF form with calculating cells and cells with multiple selections using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  It works on my PC on 2 different PDF reader apps, however when I load it in PDF Expert on the iPad it does not calculate and the multiple selections aren't there.  It also does not keep the formatting of the cell.  I set the cells up as currency, however it does not show as currency once loaded in the PDF Expert app on the iPad.  Is there an app out there for the iPad that will allow PDF form fill in and will also show the cell formatting and calculations? Or is this a limitation caused by iOS? I have also tried Adobe's reader app for the iPad and it doesn't show it on there as well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I'd be amazed if you could. I wouldn't think it possible to even open a PDF, much less edit one.
