Tools for signing a pdf form using a stylus

I have created a form using Life Cycle Designer ES 8.2 and have included some signature boxes for uses to sign, on a Windows 7 o/s. Instead of using digital signatures I would like the users to scribe on a professionally looking and performing wireless pad using a stylus tool/pen. I have sourced such a device call the Wireless Bamboo pad from Wacom, but have read some mixed reports about the sensitivity and responsiveness of this device.
Does anyone have any experience of using such a device and could suggest what would be the best device to use?

Sorry about that, I assumed it was the Android version. Adobe Reader should work just fine then, assuming that signing with the pencil tool is sufficient. This is the same as the "Apply Ink Signature" tool. The document will just need to be Reader-enabled.

How do I get multiple people to sign a PDF form using a Touchscreen PC?

I have created a PDF form, using Acrobat XI Pro, to record a client training session. The form is being completed using Adobe Reader (on a Panasonic Touchbook running Windows 7), so I have extended it to allow saving and signing. On the form I have a digital signature field for each trainee (next to a text field for their name) and a digital signature field for the trainer.
Creating a proper digital signature, signable using a password, is fine for the trainer, but the trainees will only be seen once. Often/usually they do not have email addresses so emailing for a signature, using EchoSign/DocuSign is out, but I have a touch-screen computer so should just be able to pass it round for a quick signature. Also, the form will be completed offline, with the trainer turning up on a site, not having access to the internet.
Clicking on the signature field does not provide a way to create the handwritten signature, and although the sign tab shows EchoSign in Adobe reader, allowing you to create such a signature this is shown as disabled (I imagine because I have extended the form).
This is the last piece to the puzzle. Any ideas?
Thank,
Len
p.s. I did see a version using a flash object on ADEP 10, http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998457#3998457 but this seems a little hacky, plus I would prefer to use acrobat Pro because it does everything else I want it to do.

How can recipients submit completed PDF forms using a MAC?

We have created fillable PDF forms using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. They include
submit buttons that are set to submit the completed forms as PDFs. Rights have been extended for Adobe Reader users. They work great when the recipient is using a PC, but when they are using a MAC we have a number of problems:
1) the Print and Submit buttons do not work
2) when the recipient saves and e-mails the file manually, the data they entered is only visible when you click on that field
Help! How can our MAC recipients submit their completed form as a PDF that displays all of the data!
Thanks!

Thanks Niall. This information proved really helpful in confirming the problem. We ran some tests and the problem does seem to only occur when MAC recipients are using Preview.
We recieved this link from Adobe, which provides a solution if you have access to all the recipients:

Thanks to Niall and Paul for all your help!

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

How to set a pop up calendar control in pdf form using javascript?

I'd like to add a pop up calendar control in a PDF form using Adobe Javascript.
The user should be able to select a date from the calendar control.
Awaiting a solution at the earliest.

Let's say I did provide you with a solution... Wouldn't that be a "third-party solution" as well?
These tools are not compiled, you know. You have direct access to their source-code and can make sure they don't do anything else beside what they're supposed to do.

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

PDF Form Using E-Mail shows same PDF

Hi All,
I downloaded and installed the 'TutWD_EmailInteractiveForm'.
("Offline Interactive PDF Form Using E-Mail" in the
/docs/DOC-8061#47)
I customized the readInbox method in the EmailInteractiveFormComp.
I deleted the source of "if (message<i>.getSubject().equals("Travel Request Form"))".
After I executed, there are 3 records in the window(ReceivedView).
Next, I clicked the 1st row and show the 1st row's pdf.
Then I return to the list, and click the 2nd row.
But it shows a 1st row's pdf!
Is there a person who became the same phenomenon?
Please give me some ideas!!
Regards,
Hiromitsu

You can submit whole PDF format as long as you enable usage rights on the PDF.
Normally Adobe Reader users can only submit the data, XFDF, FDF, XDP, XML.
To enable usage rights on the PDF you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Std/Pro.
As for the PHP Script; it depends on your PHP web server capabilities.
The script will be slightly different, if the server uses PHP Mail or PHP PEAR.
Just attach the submission to an email and send.
If the client is submitting the form from a standalone pdf reader app, you can also respond with a success or failure FDF \status message; otherwise, you can redirect to a success / failure URL.

I cannot e sign a pdf form

I am logged into my adobe acct so it isnt a question about forgotten passwords-however I cannot e sign a pdf form, why?

I saw the response below on another post and wonder if this will resolve your issue too. Good luck.
The error in Adobe's programming on this page for some users is that what is addressed above is that you cannot enter a password because there is only ONE place that appears....there isn't two visible places that the user can match.
To get around this, first enter your password in the box you can see (first box). Then the work around is that you enter the TAB KEY. This will put you into the next box (that you can't see) and you will re-type your password blindly. Make sure that you are typing it in exactly as the first as you are typing in the proverbial ether. Hit the 'accept' button (or enter or whatever the OK button is for the page--sorry, i don't have the exact reference in front of me--but i think this part is self-explanatory) that you can see. Hope this helps.

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

Instead of starting a new thread with the same question as Query for create manual tabular form using apex collection add row button functionality.
Could you answer the question about what you see while debug the javascript code.
If you don't understand the question or have trouble debug javascript let us know.

Can I use an iPad for taking hand written notes using a stylus? Not a large stylus, but a one like Sumsungs.

Can I use an iPad for taking hand written notes using a stylus? Not a large stylus, but a one like Sumsungs.

Hi HawkeyeD1977, thank you for watching!
1) I don't think you can really scratch the screen with the Jot Script. I don't have a screen protector, but I have reasons to think it will still work if you have one (I tried the Scrip through a think sheet of plastic, and I still works: more on that in my next video).
2) It's true that the Script is noisy, but as I often say: have you ever tried to focus on the background noise of, say, a classroom? It is very noisy too! I'm always surprised by how good our brain is to filter background noises. So really, it depends on your environment and on the ability of your brain to filter noise. For me, I'd rather use a stylus that is a little noisy but very precise. It also depends on how you write text: as you can see on my video, I don't lift my pen very often, I write big groups of letters together.
3) You should watch my latest video about that: I talk about Memo and Notes Plus. Memo has a handwriting technology that you can test for free, and buy as an in-app purchase inside Notes Plus, to use in a realy note-taking app. In Notes Plus, you can indeed convert just selected areas containing text.
4) It won't have a text convertor, not in the next update. Maybe latter!
If you want more information about the Jot Script, stay tuned: by the end of the week, I will have uploaded a video to talk about the Scrip with more hindsight after one month.
