Printing a filled in form

Hi;
I want the visitor to be able to fill out and submit a form
and then be able
to print just the form with no other page elements. how is
this done ?
Thanks;
Pat

You would need to use a print stylesheet to style the form
after being
submitted, but you will also need to use some custom
javascript or some
server scripting to repopulate the fields after the
submission as well.
It's not something that ordinary HTML has the capability to
accomplish.

  • I need to be able to print the filled in form as it appears as a form.

    Currently when I attempt to print a reponse as a PDF a four page form turns into an unmanageable 27 page PDF file.  Is this a bug or do I need to make a change?

    How did you print your response as PDF and did it happen to all responses?
    It would help if you can share your form with me.
    You can do the following to share your form.
    1. Click on “Design tab” on the top left corner.
    2. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
    3. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
    4. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
    5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
    Thanks

  • Acrobat 9 freezes when I print a filled in form

    When I click on the print button in Acro 9 the app often freezes. I have to force quit, and then try again. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 attempts before things print normally

    OS X 10.5.5
    Dell MFP Laser 3115cn (I have no trouble printing in any other application)
    I don't know whether it is a "raster" or "postscript" printer. How would I figure this out?

    Number of open apps varies from 1 to many (as many as 16 or so).

  • Fill-In Forms Not Filled In

    A customer has to complete and print multiple fill-in forms from a government agency. She had no problems doing so for years with Adobe 6. The agency "updated" their forms such that a later version of Acrobat is required. On my advice, she bought Acrobat Pro 9. Now when she opens the fillable forms that have pre-entered information, the blanks are empty. In my absence, another tech installed FoxIt Reader on her computer. When FoxIt opens the same PDFs, they are properly populated.
    There is obviously a problem with this installation of Pro, but I don't know where to look or what to look for. Suggestions?

    we have the same or similar problem.  Forms we distributed for email responses come back looking empty, unless we click on fields - then we see the data; but we cannot print them, or save the data.
    Foxit Reader shows the data perfectly.
    This is with Acobat 9.10 (full and reader both).

  • How do I print a interactive form out? It allows printing and filling.

    Hi, I'm trying to print out an interactive form that I filled out and then saved on my hard drive. The author allows printing and filling out of the PDF when it was created. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installed along with the current drivers for my compatible printer. Within the same PDF the first sheet "instruction sheed" is an all text flat form, which prints just fine. The problem lies when I try to print other sections of the PDF, When I try to print it all I get is the header and a footer that the author created, but all the spaces where questions/ text and my fill in answers don't show up on the print preview image or when the printed sheet comes out of my printer.
         I have tried to print as an image without success. I don't think its an author issuse because it was released out of a California Department for several houndred/thousands of others. Please if you have any ideas or questions i look forward to any advice.

    Sorry I forgot to add that the PDF is devided by a "Chapter" style cover face that devided multiple sets of forms in to categories. At the bottome of these categories is a "Print whole document" which can only be clicked once the whole thing has been filled out. Do to some information over lap some dates don't follow the (time line order) it requirest to fill in the data so two of the categories show up as incomplete. Take a look at the document yourself, maybe I NEED to rewrite the information and see if that works.
    *Edit* Looks like I CAN print a blank form at the begining when it asked me if i want a blank form, will try to rearange dates so it will show as all COMPLET.
    PDF file can be found at the California government website:

  • How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

    How do I edit text in a fill-in form?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX.  The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added.  Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates).  Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc.  I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it.  Please, tell me there is a better way!
    If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

    Fonts are Licensed asset's subject to single user use. They are not intended to be exchanged, redistributed, etc.
    As part of the PDF standard they included in a document so that the document can be viewed reliably without the font be installed on the viewing station.
    To edit you must have the font installed on your computer. The ability for second parties to use the font would violate font licenses.

  • How to make the print command wait until form is rendered.

    This is an ongoing issue that so far I haven't been able to figure out how to fix, so I'm hoping that someone will have a good idea or work around. I'm working in LiveCycle Designer ES v8. using JavaScript.
    I have to include a feature that allows the user the choice to print out a dynamic form to fill out by hand. So I've created a button that asks if this is what they want to do, if they answer "Yes", then several things are scripted to happen. All data is reset, some subforms and pages are made visible, while other subforms are hidden, and text fields are expanded. This causes the form to expand from one page to 15 pages. Then it prints using this command:
              xfa.host.print(1,   
    "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
    The problem is that when the print dialogue box appears, the Print Range is always set to less than the total number of pages. It looks like that the print commands fires before the form has completed rendering. This isn't a big deal since the user can click to set the Print Range to "All" which will print all 15 pages. The problem is that most people don't read the dialogue box. They click "okay" and end up with their form cut off.  Then I get phone calls that my form doesn't work.
    Is there anyway to delay the print command until everything has finished rendering? Or set the Print Range to always go to "All"?
    Thanks in advance for your help with this.

    It sounds like you'd be fine if you just separated the print function from your "Yes" button. It will require a 2nd button click from the user but that would be the only inconvenience.

  • When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI

    When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI
    I filled in this form with important data.  And saved it.  I have since opened it and printed it again.  Now when I open it the fields become blank  I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
    I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form created in Acrobat being non savable in Reader

    Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
    I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
    Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
    Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

    I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
    At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

  • ONLY ALLOW PRINTING ON a PDF FORM in ACROBAT 8.3

    OK I have a form that I have created that I want to only allow filling in and printing, no saving of the completed form, no emailing to the public.
    The catch is we dont want to password protect it. So is there a way to put a form out there that they can fill in, and print, or just print if it is one we require them to fill out by hand, and that is it?
    When in acrobat it does not give me those options, it is either wide open or protect with a password or some sort of encryption.

    I know saving is a toughy... When I first started manipulating the form I got a message that said you can fill the form, or print it but you can not save a completed copy of the form, I cant figure out where that went.
    They can prob still use control-S or other saving features, but the main problem is I dont want them to be able to save a copy with their data in it, if they can print it when they are done-fine, i dont want them to be able to email or save a completed copy of the form.  Again another thing that good old adobe left out..

  • Reader XI crashes when trying to fill-in form

    Hello,
    I purchased CS2 many years ago which included Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've since upgraded my Mac and the OS would not support CS2 any longer. I lost the installer CDs so cannot re-install Acrobat Pro. I always register my software, but for some reason Adobe has no record of this, so I can't even prove I used to have it. So until I purchase another CS, I'm stuck with Adobe Reader.
    My problem is every time I need to fill-in a form on Adobe Reader XI, it crashes. (There's a purple bar at the top clearly indicating that it's an interactive form.) The moment I put my curser in a field, it crashes. This has been going on for months now. It's really annoying to have to print-off and fill-in forms by hand which I used to type in Acrobat Pro with no issues.
    Any assistance or information on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • PDF Fill-in forms with Digital Signatures - LDAP, Roaming ID's

    Hello, my organization is trying to be more "Green" by taking regular PDF documents that use to be printed, filled in by hand, signed and then routed... To a PDF fill-in form that contains a Digital Signature Block. I can easily and successfully create PDF fill-in forms, where Im running into an issue is with the Digital Signatures.
    I can easily create a Digital Signature that is stored on my local computer and sign documents then forward them via email on to the recipient. However, what we would like and have been failing and making happen is to set up a signing server where the signer can fill out the PDF form and then sign the document by pulling their digital signature from a Directory Server, in our case LDAP or Active Directory.
    From the information that I have found on the web I know this can be done without use of expensive third party applications. However, I have not found information on how to do this other then this simple 3 line instruction which did not work for us. - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0w/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e501 02bd615109794195ff-7d96.html
    Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
    More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?

  • Is there a version of acrobat reader that will allow you to fill in forms?

    Here is the code, thought I had put it in the first time, guess not heh. Anyway, I converted the arrayList(accountList) to a String so that I could see the that element I am trying to index is in there, which it is. I also checked the file that i'm populating the arrayList from and it also has the element in it.
    public static void getAccountNumbers() {
