Add Form Fields using IAC

Hello,
I like to know if anyone lately has successfully added
Form Fields (AFORMAUTLib.Fields) to a PDF document using IAC
in Visual Studio 2008 and Acrobat 9.3.4 Prof.
In this forum it was stated that bug in
"AcroForm.api/AFormAUT 1.0 Type Library/Interop.AFORMAUTLib.dll"
has been fixed in release 9.3.2
I applied updated Acrobat to 9.3.4 and it still blows with error message
"No document is currently open in the Acrobat Viewer"
Any help, explanation is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks.

Rather than use TORU for form fields why not use the "Find" feature on the Options menu from the Tags panel?
Find "Unmarked Annotations" then use the Tag Element button on the Find Element dialog.
Select "Form" for the element ("tag").
Add something useful to the "Title" field.
[edit: n.b., this method lets you avoid putting a marquee down that inadvertently encompasses undesired text]
This won't affect use of AT but gives you something to locate as you look over the structure tree.
This method puts the <Form> element at the bottom of the structure tree; so, the elements would have to be manually moved to the proper location in the structure.
Alternatively, place focus on the appropriate parent element for the PDF page content.
The new <Form> element will be placed there - still may have to adjust it location in the structure tree - just closer to that location.
As to working within the structure tree when adding elements.
Yes, best practice that.
TORU - Read Order provides a gross/macro view via the highlight(s) and element desination.
Read Order should, in almost all cases, be harmonized to the structure tree's logical hierarchy.
You may find use of the in-line grouping element <Span> useful.
Be well...

Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

Hi,
i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
Here is a great article for your reference:
Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
However, every task can only have one task form.
That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
You can create different view for the approvors.
You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.
More information:

Add, delete, and switch views (pages) in a form - InfoPath

Cannot add form fields in document

Acrobat Pro version 9.1.2
Windows XP SP 3
I have a document that I cannot add form fields to. When I try I get a message that says "You cannot edit the file as a form due to its security settings.
When I go to Advanced->Security->Show Security Properties. The security method is set to No Security and everything is "Allow" under the Document Restrictions Summary.
Where is there a security issue?

Lori,
How did you identify the PDF/A option? I am just curious for my future reference. I could not find it.
==================
Rupey,
The fonts are not embedded and that may also be something to address. A lot of these issues may be related to the 3rd party product used to create the PDF.

Add form fields to tags - not working

I have a fillable form with one simple text form field. I run the "Advanced > Accessibility > Add form fields to tags" but the tags do not change. After I run the command it is grayed out so it looks like it's done. I can save, close and reopen to make that command available again, but it never affects the tags and the accessibility check continues to give the error.
Anyone have that problem or know how to fix it? I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Thanks!

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Setting SharePoint 2010 Form Fields Using Query String Variables

Hi All,
I have a requirement to populate sharepoint form field value with query string while uploading document to document library.
While uploading the document to document library, I want to populate claim number available from query string in a pop up page i.e in my case EditForm.aspx, Located at
http://servername:port/sitename/documentlibraryname/forms/EditForm.aspx.
Additional Information:
Created document library and added custom columns like claim number etc..
Created a view to filter uploaded documents as per claim number.
Server Details:
Windows Server 2008 R2
SharePoint 2010
SQL Server 2008 R2
I have written javascript for the same, but not sure where exactly to add the code in EditForm.aspx page.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advacne.
Regards
Seva

if the NewForm.aspx contain a "New Item Form" or "Edit Item Form" you can populate the form field by doing the following:
First for the data view create a parameter from query string and give it the claim_number query string name.
now for the field Claim Number Convert it to normal ASP.NET TextBox example below for this
Normal Field will be like this
<SharePoint:formfield runat="server" id="ff5{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="ClaimNumber" ItemId="{@ID}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff5',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@ClaimNumber')}" />
you will change it to
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="ff5{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff5',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@ClaimNumber')}" />
Now in the asp:TextBox you can add the "Text" Attribute and assign the created data view parameter to it example below
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="ff5{$Pos}" Text="{$Claim_Number}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff5',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@ClaimNumber')}" />
Where {$Claim_Number} is your Query String Parameter.
Now if you send the query string NewForm.aspx?Claim_Number=1232
you should see the field populated
This what I do usually to populate the fields

I/O error opening a pdf file with form fields, using itextsharp

Hi,
I'm using itextsharp PDFStamper to set the form fields in a pdf file. It works on my computer properly, but on the QA site and other developer's machine it only shows the values of the form fields, the original text does not show, and it gives the error message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly". Please does any one know what's causing this error and how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Uyi

I recommend you try tech support for the iTextSharp product (I believe
there is a mailing list). This forum is for questions about
understanding the PDF Specifications. You could try an Acrobat forum,
but I think the first option has a better chance of success.

Help!!! error after add new field use EEWB

Hello,
I add a new field through EEWB. The new field is add on Complaints header called Internal Reference.
I use wizard of EEWB to add new field , business object: CRM business transaction, then in the wizard, I choose complaints as the type of the transaction, and I check the "search" box for the field, because I also need to use it as search criterial.
Then I go into the BSP_WD_CMPWB, the new field is already available for component BT120H_CPL, view Details. And it is also available for the search view.
So far, everything looks fine.
But when I go into the UI for testing, when I perform the complaints search and click one record to go into the complaints view, it gives me a exception on header. I use SAAB to check the details, it like following:
BTExtRefSet.BTEXTREF/MainWindow
An exception has occurred Exception Class CX_BSP_WD_INCORRECT_IMPLEMENT - Define Application Component 'BTExtRefSet'.
Method: CL_BSP_WD_REPOSITORY=>GET_CMP_USAGE_DEF
Source Text Row: 9
Is there anything I missing to do so I get such error message???

Captions - Is there a way to add form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?

I lost LiveCycle in the CreativeCloud transition and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI? Or do I just need to create separate caption fields for each field? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...

I know. Is there a way to tie the caption to the field similar to LiveCycle?
Thanks for your help.

How do you use CS6 to add form fields to tables?

Im trying to learn the new features of CS6 where you can add fields, buttons, dropdowns, etc... from within ID CS6. The only thing about it I cant seem to find info on is what if I was using a table? I generally create a text box and use the table/insert table to add my rows and columns. Though when trying to make them into fields, it seems to want to make the whole text box a field and not the individual cells. Is there a way to do this?

You can find the list by using your iPhone to go to the app store. Under the featured section at the top scroll to the right until you see the icon labeled "Apps for Passbook." Click that and you will see the same apps that was listed on the screen of the Passbook app itself. I don't know if Apple intended for this to be this way, but unless they change things you can't get back to the main screen within the Passbook app itself. The "Apps for Passbook" will not appear if you do the search from an iPad.
