Acrobat 8.0 Print MS Access Form to PDF

Hi,
I am having a unique issue when printing a form created and filled out in MS Access to PDF. The form simply consists of labels and fields in which a user fills out. The fields are outlined with a box. When I print to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard, the vertical lines of some of the boxes are not captured on the PDF. I have tried playing with a number of settings (Resolution DPI, compatibility, object level compression) with no luck. Without the boxes the form looks messy and incomplete. Does anyone have any suggestions why these vertical lines are not shown?
Thanks,
Derek

Have you checked the line resolution in ACCESS. Sometimes these resolutions are set to 1 pixel, which is not really a resolution as such. If you use the default Display Setting in the Adobe PDF printer of 1200 dpi, you get this kind of result depending on the resolution of the display, of which few, if any, come close to 1200 dpi. I use a display resolution of 300 dpi and others recommend 600 dpi.

Microsoft Access forms to pdf with hyperlinks?

Help needed.
I can convert Microsoft Word files to PDF and preserve hyperlinks.
I wrote a new application for our parts department using Microsoft Access.
When I PDF a form with a particular part displayed, it does not preserve the hyperlinks.
Now I am in trouble because we need this feature for the engineers to be able to access supporting information about each part (data sheets etc.)
Since the engineers are used to the "Microsoft Word" earlier version they are not amenable in going "backwards" with the "new" system and not having active hyperlinks to the support documents.
I have searched everywhere for a solution and so far found nothing that works.
I am using Acrobat PRO X and Microsoft Access PRO 2010
please help as my "neck" is on the line...
thanks
Richard

In Access try File->Save as PDF.
If it's anything like in Word, the Save as PDF function does it a different way (ie. not via Postscript) compared to Acrobat. So you might get a result that way.

Print a designer form as pdf using distiller

Is it possible to print a life cycle designer form as pdf?
We have test reports with diffrent form-fields and signature on it.
They are all made with life cycle designer 7.0 and filled in with Acrobat
Professional 7.05.
Is it possible to print the form as pdf with the distiller, so no one can change the fields with Acrobat Standard?
I know you can protect the fields with the security options but for reasons
I can't explain here we want to do it with the method mentioned above.
Thanks for all ideas and opinions
Alex Wimmer

The problem is that Acrobat shows that the desingner document has a password for security.
when I try to print as pdf the procedure stops with the message:
"This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted."
The strange thing is that I told designer in the document options not to use a password for security but Acrobat shows me that the document is password protected. I can even change the security settings to "no security" without typing in a password.
After changing the security options in Acrobat I can print the form as pdf without a problem.
Is it possible to remove the "password" for the documents using the
"Stapelverarbeitung" I don't know if "batch processing" is the right
translation because I use the german version. :-)

Print MS Access report to PDF with digital signatures.

I know it is possible to print a Microsoft Access report to a PDF file. However, we need to be able to add digital signatures to the resulting PDF. Is it possible to predefine the PDF signature fields in the Access database so that when the report is printed to PDF it is ready from employees to sign off on the PDF?

This is doable with the ability to do a security.importfromfile which provides the ability to import a certificate.
This is critical.
Just create the PDF and then open it up in Access. Be sure to have a reference to the Acrobat Type library.

Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility?

Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility of a pdf and get whether the pdf is accessible or not?
I've found InvokeAccessibilityCheckerCmdSnip.cpp that seems to call accessibility validator, but I don't know if that will make what I need.
I've been asked to include an accessibility validation utility in a Content Server after loading a pdf.
Thanks in advance.

Post your question in the 'Acrobat Developers SDK' forum.

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

Hi mariab,
What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.

I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat but still cannot gain access to government forms???? Help??

I need help to find out why I cannot access government forms from my computer please help

Hi rhonda1979,
What happens when you try to access those files? Do you get an error message? If so, what is it?
Are the files you're trying to access on a particular website? Are you opening them via a browser, or downloading them and trying to open directly in Acrobat? Are you able to open other PDF files?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but we need a little more detail to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara

Printing Reports directly from to a printer via 10g forms (Linux)

Hi all,
I need to be able to print Reports directly from a form to a printer (bypassing the form output) on Linux (RHEL 5). The trick here is this is Linux, not windows so, wasn't sure how to deal with printers in this case.
I have the option working where I can run a report and set the options to "Cache" and PDF and it displays my outputted report directly in a new browser window w.
I use the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT properly for the PDF in a window.
a.) I want to send them directly to a printer, preferably to a user's default printer on their PC, bypassing the output screen. How can I accomplish this?
b.) I also would like the ability to generate a PDF (bypassing the output on a browser window) and put the form in a specified directory on a client's PC (which is what I used in 6i Client/Server). I believe I need to utilitize the WebUtil to allow this to happen. Otherwise, I'm thinking I just build a queue for the user on the Linux server and build a screen that shows all the reports they've generated for the past X amount of days and let them open them up and print from there.
Any help (particulary for Part A) would be very beneficial.
Chris

1)
if your app server is on a Linux server, for direct printing to work, the printer must be setup and accessible under Linux server using system-config-printer command, for PDF printout you probably want a postscript option checked
if you print to screen (PDF) and then use print option then your windows client machine must have access to the printer
2)
you must pass this printer name as part of the report parameters.
set_report_object_property(oRptObj, report_destype, Printer);
and
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&report='|| cRptSrcFile; -- source of report program to call
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&destype='|| cDesType;
hope this helps

Print, Save form in PDF Format from SAP

Hi,
The business users would like the ability to save, print a form, i.e. a Contract (VA42/43) in a PDF format. My understanding is, this feature/option is should be available through Goto menu through a feature/option PDF Display which opens the form in a PDF Viewer that allows the user to Print and Save the form in a PDF Format.
My question is what is required in SAP to make this feature/option available to an end user, is it a security role, a user parameter, a trigger of a function module...etc.....any help on this would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean,
you can define local printer as PDF printer (e.g FREEPDF) and print your PDF forms to that printer.
To be able to generate a form, you can create new printer:
name: locl_pdf
device type: PDF1
Host spool access method: G - front end printing
This locl_pdf printer will generate a pdf and send to your local printer which is setup for PDF saving.
Hope it helps,
Evgenij

Printing text to form using Pages

I have a paper form that is 2.75 x 6 inches and I need to print information on it. The text would always be the same. How can I set this up. I have tried but no matter how I set it up the text prints in the middle of an 8.5 x 11 sheet not starting at the top edge where it should. Something is kaka coo coo.
The end result would be that the printer prints the text in the correct boxes on the preprinted form.
I have used acrobat to scan in the form and use the form itself to find the perfect location for the text I will be printing on the form. Can't seem to figure this all out, landscape, portrait, custom size paper, rotate, margins, etc......

The form is not 8.5 x 11. It's 2.75 x 6 and won't feed through the printer that way. It jams. If it were to go through like an envelope does it would work (the width being 2.75 and the length being 6. The form is a landscape setup like an envelope. I can send the envelope though the center of the printer by moving the guides in on both sides. Should the document be in landscape or portrait mode or should the text be rotated?

Creating Forms: How to use Printing to Submit Forms?

Hello,
I am using Acrobat 9 and I am new to creating forms. I would like to create a form for users to fill out. Because the form will contain some sensitive information, I would like the user to print out the form and then mail it or fax it to us. I want to make sure that all of the forms sent to us have every field filled out.
So my question is, how do I create a form such that the user can print it if and ONLY if they have filled out all required fields.
Thanks for your help,
Dmitriy

There is no way to stop the printing. There is a "Will Print" action that will allow one to modify fields and perform other actions except cancel a save or print. So you can add the necessary script to check that the required fields are completed and if not issue a waring and display a hidden field that indicates the incomplete status. You can then use the "Did Print" action to once again hid the field.
You should be able to find post using search.

Forms Central: Can I print a completed form?

I made a form in Acrobat XI and uploaded it to Forms Central. I filled it out myself as a test and I can't seem to print the response with completed fields - as it appeared just before I hit the "submit" button. I NEED to be able to do that with this particular form. I can't use the "row details" and print that because I need to be able to print individual responses EXACTLY as I set up the form. Am I just missing the way to do this, or is it not an option? If it's not an option, I'm afraid I'm stuck as to how to distribute it.

after clicking save as pdf, do i have option to omit fields that the user didn't input data into?
for example, i have 100 fields for user input on an order form.
user inputs 30 out of 100 (because they aren't buying every item).
i want to print out an order form from their submission, but i want to see only the 30/100, and not all these blank fields occupying paper space.
does formscentral have this option- to print only user data (and associated description/text)?

Can I print my submitted forms in bulk?

1st of all I'm totally confused as to why I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro and Forms Central, but no worries there I suppose. I created my new form in Forms Central and was able to "publish" or share the form on my website via Forms Central. The user then completes the form and submits it to me. What I do not know how to do is to print all of the submitted forms in "bulk". It appears to me, thus far, that I have to click on each form and save it to my computer and then print it! I am expecting 100's of these forms to come in and was hoping that I could just print ALL the forms at once without saving each individual form to my Macbook. Please advise!

Select your slides, go to File>Page Setup and change to portrait.

How can java submenu call Ms Access form

ow can java submenu call Ms Access form to open up. This is the form that Iinks to reports that I print in Ms Access. The whole system has been developed using Java except for the reports which are in Ms Access

There is probably some Windows API that does this.
You find it, you code it (in C/C++).
Once you do that then you use JNI to attach it to Java.
Alternatively you could use something like AutoIt to automate it. That would involve getting AutoIt, writing a script (that runs the report) then using java Runtime.exec() to run it.

Printing custom size form

I am creating a PDF form with the following dimensions: H 8.5 in W 7 in. These values are set in Designer for the Master Page.
After opening the form in Acrobat Reader, I select the following options in the Page Handling area:
- Page Scaling: None
- Auto-Rotate and Center: off
Also, in the printer Properties, I select orientation as Landscape.
The Preview section looks like this:
But when I print this form (on paper that is 8.5 x 7), it prints the right side of the above image (1) , i.e. only right half of the form prints.
How do I force the printer to print the whole form (2)?

I am thinking that it is trying to resize the print to fit the default page size (in the printer of 8.5X11). I only chose the options that you had mentioned in the original problem.
Do you have Acrobat?
If so do a print to PDF and see if the page size is maintained.
Also when the file is opened in Acrobat/Reader look at the doc properties and see what Acrobat thinks the page size is.
