Acrobat Form for Home Maintenance

I need to create a home maintenance form that can be filled in with comments and photos. I know I can create text fields within acrobat to be filled in, but can you have place holders where photos can be dropped in? Also, is it possible to make it so that once the form is filled in, the author can make it so that the text fields can not be changed by the customer?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggesstions.
Jeff

This cannot be done on a Mac. Personally, I use Filemaker for that sort of thing, if its for my own use. Its easier to set up and is searchable. If you need to distribute the form to others its a different kettle of fish.

Standard PDF forms for plant maintenance

Hi all,
Does anyone know standard PDF forms for plant maintenance?

As standard there is no option to save workshop papers in PDF format.
However, have a look at [OSS Note 208271|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=208271] (Sending e-mail from notification print control) which works for orders too.

Acrobat Forms for invoicing Help

I'm attempting to use the forms feature for invoicing. is there a way I can prevent the people I'm sending the form to from editing anything inside the form fields?
Thanks

The easiest thing to do is set the fields as Read Only. You can do this from JavaScript or by editing the field properties.
Also, if you just need to send them a non-interactive document, you can "flatten" the form either from JavaScript or simply by printing the form in Acrobat to create a new PDF file that no longer has form fields.

Acrobat Forms for iPad end user

I am creating a multipage selection document for a client. My client would like the form to work with Acrobat Reader on the iPad. I have several features that work on my computer but not on the iPad. I have a few buttons set up to perform actions that don't function.
1. The submit button doesn't appear at the top of the form (neither does the highlight fields button). I placed a secondary Submit Form button. The function of this is to submit completed form back to my client.
2. How do I make the text flelds show up once typed in? Right now, you can type in them but once you are finished, the text field seems empty when you click off of it?
Anyone have any ideas on fixing these issues?
Thanks for your help!

The Adobe product is Mobile Reader and the Adobe product and all PDF reading processing apps are dependent upon the capabilities of the mobile device. Since the Apple mobile devices and the android mobile devices have limitations as to main and secondary storage space support applications like JavaScript and Flex/Flash might not or as is the fact is not available. Not only is the UI different but also the support for many interactive features are no longer available and developers need to test forms on each platform and app to see what works and does not work. Did I mention that not all apps provide JavaScript emulation? Well there are apps for which form calculations do not work or only partially work. So again you need to test.

I need someone to write a Java Script for my Adobe Acrobat form. I do not know how to write Java Code

I have never worked with Java coding and am in need of assistance for an acrobat form I am working on.
     - I have a form with a field identifier called BACompnayName (this is the field where they would enter their company name).
     - I then have a form field with two radials that says "Is the shipping address the same as the business Address" - "Yes" and "No" (the form identified for this field is SASame.
What I am trying to accomplish:
     - If they click yes, I would like the form to fill in the information found in BACompanyName otherwise, leave it blank to be filled out by the person filling out the form.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Brett

Help on Id cs5 forms for Acrobat Pro 9

Hi. I am trying to create an Id cs5 form for import into acrobat pro 9. The form is a Nutrition label, so is very specific in FDA regulations. Therefore I cannot have underscores nor boxes appearing to indicate fields. Am I missing some work around here? Thanks for any help (if the answer is obvious, my apologies. Cannot find any information helping with this, and am relatively new to In design).

You can't actually create a live form in InDesign CS5. That's a new feature in InDesign CS6.
What you have to do is prepare the appearance of form (e.g., boxes which will become text fields) and use the Form Field Recognition feature in Acrobat 9 Pro to turn it into form fields.
There's a lot to learn. Michael Murphy did an Adobe Connect session which was recorded. You can watch it here (you need to have Flash Player installed on your computer to watch):
Episode 53…sort of.

Cannot use Pages tools in Acrobat X for LC-built forms

Does anyone know why I can't use any of the Pages tools (rotate, extract, insert, crop, etc) in Acrobat X for a fillable form built in LiveCycle?

Because XFA-based PDFs have very limited editablity in Acrobat, especially for dynamic XFA forms.

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac. I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home page (just like the windows based) instead of the "getting started" window.

Good day,
Choose Acrobat > Preferences. Click 'General'. Uncheck the 'Show welcome screen' option under Application Startup.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Inserting a for field = Code128BarCode into an Acrobat Form

Hello All,
Installing a Code128BarCode into an Acrobat form without LiveCycle Designer
I need to add a Code128BarCode into my Acrobat file and then modify the properties without the use of LiveCycle Designer. I have Acrobat 9.0 Pro have used LiveCycle Designer for thie application prior but for this task I am limited to Acrobat itself.
I believe I just need to install an add-in because my selections are limited to PDF417, QR Code and Data Matrix

Yes, that's the way to do it. Try the QT discussion.

How can I click Acrobat Form button from VB (Excel Macro)?

I may be asking in the wrong forum, but I'm at my wit's end and think just about anyone with VB experience would be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is there a forum for interapplication/ VB/ forms questions?
Suffice to say, I know very little about VB (or any of the other languages behind the software), but I've adapted code which has allowed me to get almost everything I need done, thus far.
I'm trying, desperately, to finalize a Macro which enables me to export a lot of Excel info into individual Acrobat Forms and save them all independently. This all works fine, but there is one last thing I've not been able to accomplish: I need to remote click (or 'focus on') a button in the Acrobat form in order to select the icon button (dynamically set image relevant to each individual form, base on excel cell). The button's name, in Acrobat, is 'Photo1' and it is located on the 3rd page of the form. I've several SendKeys commands in order to save each file with a unique, row specific name.

I'm pretty sure one of many issues is that I don't know the fully-qualified name of the field/button, or how to properly identify it in the Macro.
I have no doubt that my approach, if it's even possible, is clumsy and unfounded, but I am (obviously) flailing around for anything that can achieve clicking this confounded button. Any help appreciated.

It was a button option - I haven't got access to Acrobat 8 here at home, but it was something like
Add menu item
File - attach to email
When the button was clicked, the email application would open with a new email and the PDF would be attached, so you could enter the recipients email address and send.

Help with complex Acrobat forms

Hi Everyone,
Background: I worked with another developer and completed a form for one of our clients but I need to know if the below change requests are even possible and if so if anyone would like to help with finishing the form. I am definitely willing to pay for an experts services as long as this can be done in a timely manner.
What the form is - Our client wants a form that has text fields, drop down boxes and pages where images can be placed into the file and arrows drawn on it to point where the images are located on other images (some images are store layout maps). They would like to send this file out to their store managers, have them fill it in and then they would like the completed forms sent back so all of the information that was filled in (names, store names, addresses, square footage, etc) can be gathered into a database or excel file.
What is completed so far
- Cascading drop down boxes (user clicks on first drop down and whatever is selected changes the second drop down options, etc)
- Most of the text fields for information gathering including city, state, store manager etc
- Metric unit conversion boxes
- Header text fields (read only) are used on several of the pages and are a combination of choices made in the drop down boxes and text fields.
- Page footer info including page number
- The over all layout of the pages is set
Requested changes/additions
Major must have:
- Page Addition - There is a product page in the form (page 10) and the different stores will have a different number of these products to enter into the form so is there a way to add an ADD PAGE button on the page that when pressed will copy the product page to make a new product page? Now the product page has cascading drop down form fields on it so I would want to make sure the form fields are separate iterations of the form fields not just a duplicate of what was on the product page.
- Footer adjustments - If we can do the above of adding pages then is it possible to at that point adjust the footer to reflect the page number changes? The footer shows the current page number then the form name and date.
- Gather info - What is the best way to distribute these forms so that when returned completed the information can be gathered? I tried distributing via email which seems to work ok but the files might end up being too large for email so what is the best way to gather the completed info if say the files were ftp'd back?
Minor:
There are several minor change requests that I know are doable or that if not possible we can disregard. One that I am not sure about is if the color of the arrows in Acrobat can be changed from the default red?
At first I was assuming that the Clients that get the forms needed Acrobat Standard or Pro 8 or 9 because I thought that the only way to add images was to use the Touch-Up Tool under advanced tools and right click to Place images. However I am pretty sure that if Reader Rights is enabled that images can be copy pasted into the file too if this is incorrect please let me know.
If the above is not doable or if there is a better solution other than Acrobat forms to gather client information including allow the client to add images and place arrows then please let me know your thoughts.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and again id like to commission this out to anyone who is up for the challenge.
Thanks in advance
Jason

Perhaps a better question is does anyone know a good developer?
