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 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

Few common questions about Mobile Forms

Hello, everyone!
I have a few questions about mobile forms:
Can a form be integrated with a portal, which is build NOT on Adobe CQ\AEM technology?
I've created a form and loaded it to the server repository via Form Manager. Now I can access it in my browser like this:
http://testlcserver:8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/hrform.html?contentRoot=repository%3 A%2F%2F%2FApplications%2FTest%2F1.0&template=UberForm.xdp&dataRef=
And the question is: what is the right way to share forms to users on a production environment (without integration in a portal pages on so on, let it be just a link to a form which users have to fill in)? I mean, should it be the same link, or it is only for developers need and to share forms to users some other way must be used?

For integrating on custom portal, you would need to integrate with form submit proxy for handling of submission as mentioned @ http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/mobile-forms-service-proxy.html.
As far as url of form is concerned, it’s really up you. You can choose to hide the request parameters as couple of other customers are doing. You can find more information about hiding form template and content root from request parameter @ http://blogs.adobe.com/foxes/hide-parameters-from-mobile-form-url/

Questions About Interactive Forms

I have a project that reqires an application and background check authorization. I want to have these forms on my website as an interactive form that can be opened by a potential applicant, filled out on their computer and submitted back to me. I want to receive the completed application back in PDF form filled out and with a signature.
What do I need with my website and background apps to make this happen. Do I need some type of server application to make this happen.
Next, what are the accepted ways of having a document/application signed by an applicant and delivered to me digitally.
Thanks

George
Thanks for the quick reply. If it's an e-mail would I receive the actual
form used or just the content the applicant input. I would want the actual
document with a signature. If storing on my server would it be the document
and input if so that would be a better option so I could download and print
out if needed.
A digital signature field I would trust would be the way to go for us.
Here's a synopsis of my needs.
I am hiring guys to play the role of Santa and make phone calls to children
at Christmas and I need a multi-part application so I can have background
checks run so I have an extensive multi-page application and contract plus
background check authorization already designed in PDF form but this last
year we had to e-mail it and wait for US Postal delivery of the completed
application and I want a streamlined online way to handle the application
and hiring process because I will have 75 - 100+ possible applicants this
year.

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 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.

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

Questions about PDF exporting with InDe CS5.5

Hey all,
A couple questions about exporting to PDF from the latest version of InDe.
First, I have noticed that it seems to take a lot longer to get to a PDF. Any suggestions for how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes or so to generate a low-res PDF (for print) of a 24pp document with a few placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long time to wait, especially for a proof.
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
(As an aside, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF seems kind of weird. Generally one makes a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when all the changes have been made and everything is "final". So, I see no benefit to being able to work on my document while it's making a PDF, as I'm probably finished making revisions for the time being. I have to say that I kind of like the progress bar you get when you make an interactive PDF, as you know you can't work on the document when that's on the screen... )
Thanks as always.

Yes, this is abnormally long (and too long), something is wrong. What's the full version of InDesign you are running, as reported by holding down Cmd or Control and selecting About InDesign?
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
Saving is not related. InDesign makes a database snapshot of your document the moment you begin the PDF export, and makes the export relative to that snapshot, regardless of edits you continue to make during the export process, and regardless of saving. Of course saving first is a good idea, for several reasons, not the least of which it sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong with your document or your InDesign installation.
We recommend you trash your preferences and export your document to IDML and see if either of those things changes this 8-minute behavior...err, assuming you're running 7.5.2.318.

Yeah, I think the primary benefit is if you are likely to work on 2 or more files in parallel, so you can finish A and export A and then switch to B. If you'd like a dialog box to pop up when export is done, check out my exportPop script from this post: ANN: automatic dialog after background export (exportPop.jsx.

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.

2 Questions on PDF Forms. Submit photo from file and templates.

Hey all,
I have successfully turned an outdated Word form into a PDF form. However, there are still two important thing I still want/need to accomplish:
1) Is it possible to create a space on form for the user to add a photo. By that I mean the forms we are dealing with are basically data collection of people, and photos of the people are important. Right now, there is no way for someone to add a photo of the person to the PDF form -- is it at all possible?
2) Can I turn a PDF form into a template much like a Word document? What I would like is for someone to open up the form and when they go to save it, it prompts them to create a name for the file so they don't overwrite the original. Possible?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Yes, depending on the way your users will use the file and whether you have
access to their computers.
In any case, it will require some scripting work.
