App to fill PDF Forms?

Are there any app(s) that allow you to fill in PDF forms and save them and/or print them?

That would be great. I need one that will do forms or allow me to modify the headers. Prefer header modification. then be able to send to an email and then print from there.
have you found an app yet??

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Sending Filled PDF Form ONLINE without promting outlook/windowsmail etc

This question has been placed serveral times. But no one seemed to have THE anwers/script for it.
now we all know that a filled pdf form, can be send as an attachment when you click on the submit button. It prompts, your computer mail software and place the e-mail adress and subject on the right place with the filed pdf file attached. That's cool.
And also we know you can save the pdf form on your local disk. Login in your gmail, hotmail or yahoo and attach the saved pdf form file and send it there.
But what I want is something more simpler. The above mention is tricky when someone dont have mail client. I just want the complete filled pdf form, send online (through mailserver?). just the send button. without prompting outlook/windowsmail. Just the submit and send the whole damn thing to the right address.
So what's the script to do so?

I have the same question, did you have any luck finding an answer/script ? It seems like this process its much more complicated than it should be.

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

Download the PDF to your local disk, then fill it from there with Adobe Reader. Or use a browser that uses the Adobe PDF plugin.

Using iPad2 to fill PDF forms with calculating cells

I currently have the PDF Expert app. installed. I have created a PDF form with calculating cells and cells with multiple selections using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It works on my PC on 2 different PDF reader apps, however when I load it in PDF Expert on the iPad it does not calculate and the multiple selections aren't there. It also does not keep the formatting of the cell. I set the cells up as currency, however it does not show as currency once loaded in the PDF Expert app on the iPad. Is there an app out there for the iPad that will allow PDF form fill in and will also show the cell formatting and calculations? Or is this a limitation caused by iOS? I have also tried Adobe's reader app for the iPad and it doesn't show it on there as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd be amazed if you could. I wouldn't think it possible to even open a PDF, much less edit one.

Filling PDF forms with in-house software - pdf no longer works in Reader

I have created a PDF form in Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro and enabled the "Filling of form fields" feature.
1)
I can open this form in Adobe Reader, fill fields, save, load / repeat process as many times as I want with no problems.
What we would like to be able to do is "pre-fill" some of the form fields using an in-house application with some data and save. At a later time, users would need to add additional information.
If I open one of these pre-filled forms with Adobe Reader, it immediately gives an error message and closes the file:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Other programs such as "Foxit" and "AmiUni PDFSuite" don't seem to care that the file was pre-filled.
Is this because Adobe Reader actually checks some sort of CRC or signature which was created at the time the initial PDF form was created by Adobe Pro - and if the signature is no longer valid Adobe Reader won't go any further?
2)
What would be the options to get around this problem? Is there a way to accomplish this with Adobe Pro? We need to be able to pre-fill some fields in the form from our application, then have the user complete filling the form manually.
Thanks!

Enabling usage rights in reader grants specific rights for a given document - form fill in, saving, signing, etc. Reader checks if something else has been done to the document beyond the scope of the rights granted and apparently the program you are using to add the form data is triggering this test for some reason. There is a digital signature which isused to check this, plus an analysis of what has changed in incremental save sections.
What you are trying to do should work in principal. If the developer of the application is available, have them look at what else is being changed besides the addition of form data. They should be able to fix the problem.
If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

Hi Tarek
Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
My Workflow as follows
1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple and free ADOBE READER.
That's it !!
could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Ajo Joseph

iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

Reader X - Getting Security Alert with a data filled PDF form

My site uses PDF forms that have their data filled in dynamically by the classic asp code on the site. Before Reader X version, they were filled and displayed without a problem. With Reader X they display the security warning: "Data from this site is blocked to avoid potential security risks....." and the Options button to trust the site. I get this even thoguh it's the same site they are on already and I'm using an SSL cert for all files and I'm also using a direct link to generate the PDF.
I know the user can just click the options and make the problem go away but many users seem unable to read and or panic when they see the alert.
Is there a security setting or trust setting I can add or set in my form so that I will not get this security alert??

No, apart from creating a certified document, but the user would still have to add you as a trusted source. If a document could override this, it would be rather pointless to have it in the first place.

Importing data from Excel to generate "filled" PDF form that was created in Designer

Hi there
I have a form that was created in Designer. The data that I need to import is all in a Excel spreadsheet with the same fields as the form.
Is it possible to import all the data so that it generates a printed PDF with the data on each line of excel?
For example:
If my excel file shows:
First Name      Last Name     Phone Number        UserID
John               Doe               416-777-9970           johndoe997
Mike               Rogers           905-887-3398          mikerogers997
In this example I would like to generate a PDF form for John and for Mike, each with their details filled out on the form based on the data in the excel sheet
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have Adobe Acrobat 11:

Does saving a filled -PDF form using Ctrl+P work in Reader?

I am using Acrobat Pro XI version on my PC. I have created a form and saved it using Enable Reader Extensions. I have e-mailed it to a friend who uses Acrobat Reader on PC. She is able to fill the form but unable to save it. She tried saving it using Ctrl+P. Using this method, the changes to the document were saved on her PC. But when she sent back the document, I am unable to see the changes. Can you please help me ASAP. Why isn't save using Ctrl+P working??

The reason the version number is important is because prior to version XI a special right has to be applied to the file in Acrobat for it to be savable in Reader.
If you want the file to be compatible with the most versions then you should apply this right, via File - Save As Other - Reader-Extended PDF - Enable More Tools.

Fill pdf form from database table

I am working on small application for my employer. We have record fo all new employee in table and want to fill PDF (I-9) from database using APEX application.
Below PDF form, we want to fill from database table.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-9.pdf

I know one way to export from database table and import to PDF form.
Is there any other way?
Thanks

If I understand you correctly then I need to first export the xml file using Data-> Load sample XML data and later create template in template.rtf and upload data using APEX in template. In this case I need to create rtf template exactly similar to http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-9.pdf.
I am not sure is there any way to to used existing pdf template or save pdf template to rtf template. Later that template can be used to populate data using APEX.

How to fill PDF form programatically

Hi everyone,
We are automating a web application using QuickTest Pro. In some scenarios we need to fill a PDF form and click 'submit' button. Is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to automate this process? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Why Yes! There are several ways to pre-fill a PDF. Which technique depends on where the data comes from and where the PDF is going.
For example, a PDF can be filled in Acrobat using an Acrobat data file such as FDF, XFDF, or XDP if it's a LiveCycle form. This can be done manually through the menu items or automated with JavaScript, or with a batch process. And there are lots of other variations on how data files can be used. Of this methodology assumes that the data file already exists. The data file can be manually created by exporting data from Acrobat or automatically by some external custom program.
Acrobat JavaScript can also used to access Excel and database files:
http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/department48.cfm
and LiveCycle forms can be connected directly to a DB.
http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/34.cfm#XFADBForms
Depending on the kind of data, JavaScript can be used to directly fill in forms. This method is suiltable for handling a small number of fields, such as customer contact data.
On the server side there is a whole host of third party tools for filling forms and of course Adobe has tools as well. In fact PDF form data handling is built into ColdFusion.
The Acrobat plug-in SDK has a Forms model for just this purpose and there is an ActiveX interface to Acrobat that can access individual form fields.
