Questions about using a PDF form online

I have a client who wants to create an online version of a PDF form that they are currently using. I am currently trying to explain to them that this would be best done as an HTML web form, but I may not win this argument. I have only used PDFs for printed forms (either hand-written or using form fields) so I am not familiar with any problems that converting the form for use online would entail.
When the 'Submit' button is pressed on the form, is there a way to redirect to another web page after the data is submitted? (i.e. does the PDF have access to it's outer 'environment'?)
Are there any security issues submitting data using the PDF form as opposed to using a standard web form? (There may be sensitive data being submitted)
I'm not sure how they plan to handle the data that is submitted, but there are several options in the submitForm parameters - I am assuming that using the HTML option would submit the data in the same format as a web form would. Am I correct here?
Can the PDF be prevented from being downloaded or printed? This form should only be used to submit data to their server, not as a printed form.
Are there any other 'gotchas' that I need to look out for? Does anyone have a recommendation for a site which contains any tutorials or guidelines for using PDF forms online?

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I agree that there is less reason for it to be a PDF form (Actually, no real reason other than the original form already exists in PDF), but I am unfortunately in the position that my input in this project is not necessarily being considered (my company is following direct -and inconsistent- directions from the client, and I have no contact with the client to ask questions about what their actual needs are). I have been told to give the client the 'Tomato' that they are asking for, even though they are describing an 'Apple'.
The reason this form is not meant to be printed is that we have replaced the 'Signature' fields from the original form with checkboxes that the user must check to confirm they have 'signed' the document. If they are to print/fax/whatever the document, they should use the original form, not this one. And I am still trying to explain to them that this would be better served with an HTML web form, but I fear I am losing that battle.
I have brought up the fact that it is not 100% guaranteed that Acrobat will be available in the browser, although I can only guess that it is less than likely that anyone will not have some sort of PDF viewer available to their browser.
I will also mention that issues may arise if the file is not submitted from within the browser.

Error during Opening Layout on PDF Forms - SFP

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a PDF Form and I have succcessfully created interface and when i try to create a form, upon pressing the LAYOUT Tab or Button i get an error message and the trnasaction closes down
Error Details are:
==================================================================================
Error while opening document
Message no. SOFFICEINTEGRATION143
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the desktop application while opening a document.
Procedure
Check first whether you can insert a document from this desktop application as an embedded object in another application. The necessary menu item is usually 'Insert --> Object'. The application then lists all of the OLE document types. Choose the type corresponding to the desktop applciation. If the insertion fails, the error is in the desktop application itself.
This error has various causes. Often, it is caused by activating certain add-ins. Sometimes, the desktop application is wrongly installed. The error should not recur once you have disabled any add-ins or reinstalled the desktop application.
Procedure for System Administration
If you cannot solve the problem as described above, enter a problem message. There are notes relating to how to generate the log file using the program SAPROFFICEINTEGRATIONTRACE.
===============================================================================
I check with the guys who do the SAP GUI installation and he did all he can do with no success. My GUI is 710 version with Patch level 7
Can anyone help me in identifying what I should be doing to have Layout opened in my system?
Thanks in advance to all of you,

Seems to be GUI installation issue and will try re-installing required things.

Please follow these steps.
1) uninstall all adobe related stuff
2) uninstall sap gui also
3) again install sap gui
4) Then install all adobe related stuff like ALDsetup.exe, xACF_NW04_SP21.exe
5) Just open the formdesigner.exe from Designer 7.1 folder from your desktop
6) Then go to T-code SFP and try to open the layout, it will work fine.
Take the help of basis if required.

Information about javascript in pdf forms

Hello folks. Could anybody tell me where i can find information about application javascript language in pdf forms? I've visited adobe.com and found a lot of pdf articles but they are really useless. I want to find about object model of pdf form, about frequent used operators.

Hi Konstantin,
I think this could help you:

About events in PDF forms

Hi all,
I am working on Adobe lifecycle designer 7.1 to generate a form.on the generation time i design a button in body pages.
My query is that when i click on that button a event generates i want to know the process of that event and how to handle that event.
And also adding a subform to a interactive pdf form in livecycle.
Any ideas, suggess.
Points are sured.
Sanket sethi.

HI Sanket,
I believe you want to capture the event triggered when a button is clicked in a PDF form.You can write your script using the script editor in the Life cycle designer, for events triggered by UI elements. First enable your script editor by navigating to Window-->Script Editor and select it.
While designing your form when you add a button to the form, selcet the button and and in the drop down in the area above the form, which says Show:Events with scripts, selct the event on click.You can select the language as Form CAlc or Javascript.
If on click of button you want add a subform, add a button to the form.Add a subform under the default form, form1.
For example, i add a sub form formDyn.
Now, select the button and for the event *click, write the Javascript code as:
var df = formDyn._txForm.addInstance(1);
You can add elements in this subform and set values for them on click of button.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Regards,
Siddhartha

Question about creating interactive PDF form

Someone provided me a PDF brochure file that was converted from an image file and was asking if we could setup the form where it could be published online and some of the fields could be filled out on the form and submitted as a registration online (name, phone, etc). I currently have Adobe Flash CS4, Adobe Indesign CS4, Adobe Acrobat 9 and was wondering what the best way was to go about setting this process up. I have setup some basic forms using Flash and php to submit form data via email but I was hoping to embed these form fields directly in a PDF file so they could be filled in online... would look nicer and more professional.
Thanks!

Sure it's possible. One way to help insure that the original blank form does not get overwritten it to make it read-only in the file system. To do this in WIndows, open an Explorer window, find the file, right-click on it, select Properties, and select read only. You cna do the same type of thing on a Mac in FInder > Get Info
When you save the filled-in form, just save it with a new file name. If you accidentally forget and atttempt to overwrite the original, it won't be allowed and you'll be notified.

Hi,
It is because your SAP GUI isn't patched high enough.

Create a PDF form and 1/2 the people can't submit

Hello,
I create a Acrobat Pro 9 form. In it I created a submit button. I then I uploaded to my acrobat.com account to track response. 1/2 the people have been able to submit it without any problems. So it is working. The other half say when they hit the submit button it does nothing. I have made sure they are using Reader 9 or higher. What else could be the issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
You're in the forum for the product Adobe FormsCentral (http://formscentral.adobe.com), a service that allows you to create and distribute forms online. We can't help with questions about issues with PDF forms. I recommend taking a look at the Acrobat User Community site and reposting your question to the forum there:
www.acrobatusers.com/forum
You could also try re-creating your form using FormsCentral... nudge nudge... just a thought.
Best of luck!

Converting PDF Forms to Word and Then Back to PDF with Forms In Tact

Hello,
We are currently having a heck of a time replacing some keywords in a collection of about a thousand PDF forms. These forms were created in Word without any interactive functionality and then converted to PDF. The simple form interactions were then added using Acrobat.
We figured out a way to replace all of the keywords by converting the PDF to Word, and then running a Visual Basic macro that does a Find and Replace on all of the documents at once. Our problem is that we lose the functionality of the forms when we convert them to Word. The docs have to be converted back to PDFs, and putting in all of the form interactivity in each file would take far longer than we have.
Is there a better way to go about this than we're attempting?
Is there a way to do these conversions and keep the interactive forms?
We essentially want the forms to behave exactly as they did, just with a few keywords changed.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

If you are going to convert regularly, you may want to subscribe to ExportPDF,
https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/pricing.html
And please don't write your messages in all caps; it makes reading difficult, and in the Internet it is considered the equivalent of shouting.

Question about doing math in pdf form

Hi, I have created a filable form in adobe. I am trying to perform some basic math in this pdf form but I can't seem to get it to work. I have few fields that I am using basic logic to calculate one field. I used the following code.
if (Dropdown4> 0){
KWH = Dropdown3 * Dropdown4 * KWH1;}
else
{KWH = Dropdown3*Dropdown4*Dropdown1;}
endif
KWH1 is a fillable field but dropdown1, dropdown 3 and dropdown 4 are fields with drop down lists. I want to populate field KWH based on the logic above. I don't get any result whatsoever. The KWH field is blank.

The custom calculate script for the KWH field would be something like:
// Get the value of the fields, as numbers
var DD1 = +getField("Dropdown1").value;
var DD4 = +getField("Dropdown4").value;
var DD3 = +getField("Dropdown3").value;
var KWH1 = +getField("KWH1").value;
// Set this field's value
event.value = DD4 > 0 ? DD3 * DD4 * KW1 : DD3 * DD4 * DD1;
That last line is equivalent to:
if (DD4 > 0) {
event.value = DD3 * DD4 * KW1;
} else {
event.value = DD3 * DD4 * DD1;
There are a number of tutorials available if you want to learn more about creating custom calculation scripts in PDF forms. Post again if you need help finding them.

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.
