Barcoded forms using Adobe Reader

Hi,
As previous discussion started by me, we have developed a Barcoded form for our work process.
It's use to be succesful filling & editing barcoded form with Adobe Acrobat reader 9.3 after we license the form in Livecycle.
But just know the reader fails to read the barcoded form.
After the user fills details on the form, the barcode field dissapear from the screen (blank grey spot).
Is this because of another licensing process needed? Or it is only a technicality problem.
Thanks & regards,
Raja

I have the same problem as Raja. And it does not help to reduce the amount of information in the barcode. The barode field stil turns gray in Adobe Reader 9.
The strange thing is that there are no problems when I open and fill out the form in Adobe Reader 7.

Cannot complete form using Adobe Reader - Mac OS X 10.6.8

I have been using Adobe Reader to complete forms for my Bank for more than 9 months without any problems. I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Mac. I recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and this is the first time I've tried to use Adobe Reader since the upgrade. Today when I opened my form using Adobe Reader I cannot select and type in any of the text fields. Trying to click inside a text box simply seems to 'select' the entire page.
I checked online but could not find any compatibility issues. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very simple that I should have done but have no idea what that could be.
I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what my problem might be.
Cheers

Thanks for responding Ankit. No, I saved the form to a folder on my desktop and I open it using the Adobe Reader app. It has always worked without a problem before. I checked my husband's iMac (which has the same saved form on his Desktop). He is also running OS X 10.6.8. On his machine it opened without a hitch so I used his computer to fill in the form and print it out. Obviously, if it works on his computer and he's also using 10.6.8 it's not related to the upgrade.
I trashed my copy of Adobe Reader and have re-downloaded the app. Will install it and see whether it now works or if the problem persists. Will post back the results.'

Automate Printing of a fillable form using Adobe reader

I am working on a project to automate the reporting of enrollment confirmations, etc. in a national service.
I have written a C# program that connectd to a national service organization from a client machine and enrolls people as needed.
Occasionally , a list of names along with enrollment status, etc - is downloaded to the machine.
I am using ES Desiner and Adobe pro 9.0 to maintain some simple PDF forms that a C# program is filling out as each form is inspected, etc.
This currently works fine - printing one form on demand as needed.
I would like to move ahead one step in the automation sequence and allow the user to select which files to print from a list of files available and allow the program to simply fill out the form as needed - (it is already doing this) and print to the current default printer.
it is my understanding that this is possible using the SDK and the standard reader - but I am having some difficulty in finding out just how to go about it.
Can you please direct me to where I would begin learning how to do this using the SDK and the adobe reader ?

When i say : ("it is already doing this"), I mean that the C# program is already pre-filling a form - when the file is selected and the user loads the data to the form and it is being printed when the user decides to press the print button.
I would like to automate this sequence for the user so he/she doesn't have to do it manually , and doesn't have to do it one at a time - as it is done now -
I have been told that this is possible using the SDK and adobe reader but it is not exactly documented in a way that i can identify .
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Submitting pdf form using Adobe Reader

Using Acrobat 9 Pro I created a form to capture personal info from donors to our non-profit. When displayed in Acrobat 9 the SUBMIT button works as intended (brings up a message to send using my Email client with the pdf attached and addressed to the Email I have entered in the URL block.) Using the SUBMIT button while in Reader 9 on another PC I receive the error message that "this operation is not permitted". My preferred solution would be to enable Reader to do the same as Acrobat 9. I understand that Reader cannot save a form. Since I am only collecting at most 9 small fields I could live with just getting the data from the forms. Since the donors may have various versions of Reader, I need a solution that does not require the latest versions of Reader (8 or 9) to do these actions.

For your application, e-mail is probably a bad idea. However, if you insist you should have the form submit a FDF or XML data file, not the PDF. You can open the FDF and XML files in the original form to see the data if you desired. The data file submission is not limited to the 500 use limit of the form. Due to the nature of the material, I would think it is much safer to submit the data to a web server and not through e-mail that is typically not very secure.
A last note it that e-mail submission requires the client machine to be using MAPI. If not, they will get an error and you will be blamed. Submitting to a web script avoids this issue.

Sumbitting Forms in Adobe Reader

I am unable to submit my form using Adobe Reader. When I hit the submit button, I am prompted to choose a desktop mail application or internet mail application. I choose desktop and my Outlook account opens. I see the file attached; however when I hit send, the message closes and I am returned to the original form. I return to outlook but don't see anything in my sent file or my outbox. The form owner has also told me that they have not received my responses.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling reader, and I also tried repairing reader. My co-work who users reader only and outlook had no problems.
Any ideas?

Figured it out … something to do with having 2 Outlook profiles loaded on my computer. Even though I was logged into my personal email profile, the file was being stored in the second profile’s outbox. As soon as I logged into the alternate profile, the form was sent.
I’m not sure how to change which profile forms will be sent from, but at least we know where the file went.
Thanks again for your help!!

When using Adobe Reader 11 and entering info on a US government form, 2d Barcode is grayed

2d barcode greyed out when any info is entered into the form...

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the quick response...Here is the link to the document.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864.pdf
I have tried several different things, including different computers, tried to open using Firefox / IE / Chrome (None of these even display the 2D barcode portion) and well as another PDF reader.
Basically when using Adobe Reader 11, I can see the 2D barcode normally, but when I even enter a single letter into any field, the 2D barcode is 'greyed' out.
I have searched on the forum and saw another similar post that was mentioning something about a 'license' issue, etc. As I am the end user, there is nothing that I can do in the modification to the file, as it is a protected file (i.e. I can only comlete and print this document).
Thanks for the help.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Adding Barcode to Adobe Form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer

I am hoping someone can help me. I have created a PDF form and have added 2 3-of-9 barcodes to the form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer version 8.0. I see the barcodes when I prin tthe form from Adobe but when I run my web page to print out the form using pdf, only the default value shows on the printed form, no tthe barcode as expected? Do I need some other software?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,
Yes you can add fonts on ADS.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe".
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
Procedure
To add fonts:
1. Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService" directory.
Enter JC<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS J2EE system.
Enter DVEBMGS<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS ABAP + J2EE system (J2EE Add-In).
2. Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts/ directory created in the previous step.
3. Copy your fonts into the "/usrsap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService/fonts/customer" directory.
4. Restart the Document Services Font Manager for the changes to take effect.
5. Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices for the changes to take effect.

Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

>(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
>(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
>(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
>(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

How to create saveable forms for Adobe Reader 6.0 using Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES (Acrobat Pro 9).
I only need to create a simple pdf form where the user enters data and saves the file with the data using Adobe Reader 6.
What are the steps to convert a Reader Extended PDF forms version 1.6 (Reader 7) to version 1.5 (Reader 6)?
Thanks
Bela

Any luck here? I have just a subset of your challenge, i.e., I want to get forms designed in Designer 8.2/Acrobat 9 to work in Reader 7.0.5
Thanks!

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.

Thanks for your reply.
I've converted photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
"Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this.

Fillable forms with radio buttons (Using Adobe Reader X)

I have two questions: First question, I have a fillable form with "yes" and "no" radio buttons. Currently the radio defaults to answer "yes", but I would like both the "yes" and "no" fields to be empty, which would allow the user to select an answer on his or her own. Second question, is there a way to make an answer required before moving on to the next question?
(Using Adobe Reader X)
Message was edited by: mp2athome

You need to check and make sure that the options for each radio button do not have the "Button is checked by default" selected.
You can make all the following answer radio buttons "read only" and only after one of the choices for the preceding question has been answered are the radio buttons for the next question are write enabled.
You will need Acrobat to create the form.
