Alternative using a .pdf form?

We do performance reviews, order forms, etc all through formcentral. This is going to really hurt us as well.
Do any of the listed alternatives allow a user to fill out a form off-line like a .pdf form with a submit button (as formcentral did)? We have users that cannot get to websites but can work on a .pdf form.
And not formstack - that pricing model is absurd.
Thanks,

Hi JD-MHM,
I can't speak to the functionality provided by the alternative solutions listed in the FAQ: End of support | Adobe FormsCentral.
But, can you repurpose your forms as PDF forms for use with Adobe Acrobat. Information about that is discussed in the FAQ as well.
Best,
Sara

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.

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Ill

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Illustrator?

You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

How can I force a group of checkboxes using imported PDF forms

how can I force a group of checkboxes when using imported PDF forms,
My checkboxes are single fields rather than a group, the form is design using indesign?

The PDF file format doesn't support grouping check-boxes into a multi-choice field. Because of that, FormsCentral just represents them as check boxes.

Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities. Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms. I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created. I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that. I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it????? I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help. So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer. Isn't there another way?
I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
Thanks!

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

How can we use a pdf form multiple times for different people (students)?

Our school created a pdf form of our report card but we are not able to "save as" the forms for use by multiple teachers for multiple students. Please advise.

Just use Adobe Reader XI. Adobe Reader XI allows for forms data saving but it does NOT allow for locking down that data.

How to use standard pdf forms for HR

Hi
We just upgraded our system from 4.6C to ECC6.0. We just did technical upgrade. IF we want to use SAP provided pdf forms for any HR applications like w-2's or something else.. what do we need.. Can we use them with out ADS ? and without a Java server?
Thanks

Hello,
you need a Java server and need ADS configured. To do this is not easy for me as a application developer, but it is easy for the basis guys. Ask one to make this ready for you. Esitmated time is like 3-5 days. ADS is free for printing (replaces SAPscripts and Smartforms by Adobe forms).
For HR forms I recommend create your custom ones, because you can develop it very quickly and it will meet any specific requirements of your business. This way you will spare much time and psychic sanity searching and changing SAP HR standard (my 2 yrs experience).
Have a nice day, Otto
p.s.: If you have further interest in Adobe, move your questions to Adobe forms forum under NetWeaver.

How to find where used for PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I have a small issue. I want to find the where used list for a PDF form SD_INVOICE_FORM01. Just want to see the driver program which is calling this PDF form.
Can some one help me in this regard?
Quick response would be appriciated. Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi,
You can see the driver program in Tnapr table.
Give the FORM name in the selection criteria. You will get the driver program details.
If you have the FM name generated,goto se37 and check where used list there.( It is useful only if the FM is used by its name in the driver program.)

Using a PDF form to retrieve data from customers

Hi all,
I am sure this can be done but since I am new to 'all this', I'm not sure how to pose or search for the answer properly. I want to use Acrobat to create a fillable form PDF so that I can send it out to customers. Once they fill the form out and return it to me I can then import the data that resides in the the 'fields' in the background of the PDF form into a database or spreadsheet. Am I thinking about this correctly? At this stage I do not want to pursue hosting the document on a website (for simplicity reasons) but just be able to send somebody the blank form, they fill it out and return it to me and instead of copying the information to a database, I can import the data.
Thank you to any and everyone in advance and if this topic has been answered, please send me in the right direction.
Hartley Eastwood

This is exactly what the Formscentral.adobe.com service will do. Yo prepare the form, uploaded to the server, then you get a link or a download the adobe form with the send bottom. The client will hit the send button and all the information will be store in the server database. From here you can retrieve the information. Hope that this will help.

How to handle image files used in PDF forms

With LiveCycle, I've created an interactive form for Help Desk-type requests, and the form works beautifully. I've tested it, and everything works. Show. Hide, Clear fields. And all the other behaviors I added with Action Builder.
As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I added a header image (which is in My Documents>My Pictures). I tested locally and uploaded the form to Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form looked fine. The header was intact. So I kind of assumed the image was embedded somehow.
So I brought the file home and opened it there, and -- Voila! -- no header image!
What happened?
Does the image file need to be uploaded and the path relative to the location of the file? To me, this doesn't seem to be a huge problem. More of an unexpected one. I can probably upload the image to someplace in Sharepoint and then set the image path in the XML.
But I'd like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle forms.

In the Object palette make sure Embed Image Data is ticked.

Disallow comma use in pdf form

I am having trouble exporting forms via workspaces. The form I have developed allows for the entry of commas, these commas interfere with the csv export of the file. I have searched the field properties and was not able to find a simple way to disallow the entry of a comma. Is there a solution?
Many thanks for your time.
-Jake

Usually, values that contain commas are surrounded with double-quotes when you export the form data. Is this not the case for you?

How to use ADS on SolMan instance and SAP standard PDF forms from ERP

Hi there
We have installed and configurated the ADS service on our Solution Manager (SolMan) Instance called SD1.
SolMan Info: SAP Solution Manager 7.0; Stack 17; Java-Stack installed; SAP Netweaver 7.0
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We have linked our ERP landscape (e.g. system ED1) to ADS service running on SolMan.
ERP Info: ECC 6.0; Stack 13; no Java-Stack installed
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We want to print PDF documents from SAP standard applications on our ERP landscape. Therefore we want to use standard PDF forms provided by SAP and also available in transaction SFP (e.g. form ISSR_NW670_RX_PDF).
Problem: When we try to create a PDF document from the application we get an error message:
Processing exception during a "Render" operation.#Request start time: Mon Feb 02 13:42:08 CET 2009#com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing data from Destination: dest:FP_ICF_DATA_ED1//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/ISSR_NW605_PDF.XDP?fp-language=DE&fp-cac
I have also checked the trace (see below) and it seems that the system tries to get the form from the SolMan system and not from the ERP system. But the form is only installed on ERP system.
Are there any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
I am using FormCalc scripting.

hi,
After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
hope this works.
Reward points if helpful.

Alternative using a .pdf form?
