Can I create a PDF fillable form that allows form multiple entries and one submission?

For example, I would like to enter new hire information for multiple new hire employees and only click the submit button once.

Good Morning Randy -
Sorry for not giving you a clear enough description. I was trying to avoid a novel.
I hope to use FORMSCENTRAL for create a form for on-line users to register for meetings including paying via paypal. Some of the people register and pay for the meeting by themselves and others are registered by their office assistant, so there might be as many as 25-30 people.
The individual registrants are easy and doable with FORMSCENTRAL.
However, for the multiple registrants, I would like to create a form that can handle multiple registrants and only one submission for payment. So far, I have only been able to do that by creating a form that has the registrant fields created multiple times. I would really like to be able to have the set of fields created once unless I need to add the set of fields multiple times. I am sure that complications keeping track of the total payment due as well.
Being able to set-up a table with the fields across (left to right) for each registrant would be good.
Maybe this does not explain it well enough in which case, I can call and explain our need.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Can you create a PDF in Designer that allows pictures to be later pasted in to it?

I need to create a PDF that will allow our customers to copy/paste screen shots in to the created PDF document. I have tried this with a dynamic PDF and cannot get it to work. Any ieas if it is possible? And if so how.
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Caroline,
The issue is that the form you are using has not been Reader Enabled and (by the error message) you are using Reader.
This means that you will not be able to save the data inputted into the form (including an image into the image field).
If you are using Reader, then the form needs to be reader enabled in order to give the ability to save data inputted into the form.
This can be done in two ways:
(1) If you have Acrobat Standard (v9) or Acrobat Professional (v8 or below), then there is a menu item that will allow you to enable the form. However there are license restrictions (see EULA).
(2) Using the full LC enterprise Suite Reader Extensions to apply the reader rights. This is a server component and is €€€€.
I have a summary on the Adobe Cookbooks that summarises the differences in deploying a form and the restrictions that are in place depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader and how the form was reader enabled (if at all).
Summary here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html
The sample in the previous post was not reader enabled and this is why you got the error.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Can I create a presentation in iPhoto that will combine still slides and video?

I have just returned from a safari and have a lot of pictures and videos from the trip. I would like to create a presentation/slide show that will show the slides and also videos in the same slide show and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.

and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.
If you want a native Mac application for your slideshow you could also try Keynote, the Apple alternative to Powerpoint. It will give you similar presentation options.
Aperture - if you have it - would allow to trim the videos, allow more fine control over how the audio of the clips will be mixed, and still allow to manually pace the slideshow, but it is expensive and will no longer be developed. But if you have compatible versions of Aperture and iPhoto, simple open your iPhoto Library in Aperture: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

Can you edit a pdf fillable form

Once I create a fill-able form - how do I edit the form without starting over?

Hi Comtraintexas,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, you can edit the fillable form using Acrobat.
With Acrobat 10 and later you can try the steps below.
1) click on tools on the right hand side
2) Go to forms
3) Click on edit forms.

Can I create a PDF with form controls using JAVA?

I have a web site running on linux (Ubuntu). I'm programming in Java. Presently I use open office to create PDFs with form controls (checkboxes, lists and text fields). I'd like to be able to create in my program (Java) with form controls. JasperReports is not good because I don't see a way to create form controls. Help!!!

I am not sure what this has to do with the Acrobat SDK, as we don't have a version of SDK for Linux (or Java).

Pdf fillable form - multiple digital signatures

I have a fillable pdf form that requires multiple digital signatures. Is there a way to send the form to multiple parties and merge it back to one form upon receipt of the signature from each party? Does that be accomplished with a javascript or do I need to use a different software? Thank you.

That's not how digital signatures work, so the answer is "no". When multiple people need to sign a document, they need to sign the same document in sequence.

How can I take text from a webpage that is in multiple rows and move it into a single row in Excel?

I need help figuring out how to take data from internet pages and enter it into one single row in an excel, or numbers if that is the easier way to go. I was also told access might be good to use. Basically I am going to chamber of commerce page and wanting to extract the member listing and enter in a database in a single line. The data is in different numbers of lines as you will see below (info edited to take out personal info). So I want to take the name of business, business owner, address, city, state, zip, and phone and put it into one line on a spreadsheet. I want to do this many times over. I think there is a way to do it through apple script and automator, but I have not been successful after 2 weeks of trying and searching. I have over 800 listings and I surely don't want to go through and do them one at a time. Any suggestions?

How can I get the extra data out of the way and remove the format so that it will go into excel? Thanks for any help you can provide. I am not to savvy with code, but I got a friend who is an IT guy that can help. Thanks again

So, basically, create 800 individual entries, each one containing everything from business name through the phone (not fax) number, add some commas and spaces to entries, and then put each entry on a separate line?
1. Go to website page such as this one-- http://www.littlerockchamber.com/CWT/External/WCPages/WCDirectory/Directory.aspx ?ACTION=newmembers --which seems formatwise very close to what you're trying to scrape.
2. Cmd-A to select all. Cmd-C to copy it to clipboard.
3. Open freeware TextWrangler. Cmd-V to paste info from clipboard into a blank TW document.
4. Remove lines from top and bottom so that only membership list remains.
5. Process lines to remove everything from "Fax" line through "See Also" line. Only business name through phone number will remain in the file.
--A. TW > Text > Process Lines containing . . .
-----(check "Delete matched lines"; uncheck all others)
-----Enter "Send Email" in the search box.
-----Click Process.
--B. Repeat 5A for other lines to be removed
------Member Since
------See Also
------Fax
6. Insert markers to separate entries:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: \r\r\r\r
------in replace box: \r***
------Click Replace All
7. Remove remaining blank lines:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: \r\r
------in replace box: \r
------Click Replace All
8. Add comma and space at end of each line:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: $
------in replace box: , (comma space)
------Click Replace All
9. Remove all returns:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: \r
------in replace box: (leave blank)
------Click Replace All
10. Insert returns in place of markers:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: \*\*\*, (backslash asterisk backslash asterisk backslash asterisk comma space)
------in replace box: \r
------Click Replace All
11. Remove trailing comma and blank on each line:
TW: Search > Find . . .
------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
------in Find box: , $ (comma space dollar sign)
------in replace box: (leave blank)
------Click Replace All

Can you upload a PDF fillable form created from LiveCycle

I know that these forms are HTML forms. I am wondering if I can upload a form that I created in LiveCycle Designer with Acrobat Professional. Can I upload the form, instead of designing it online through Forms Central?

Sorry, you can't upload a form created with LiveCycle Designer to FormsCentral. You have to create the form on the FormsCentral website from scratch or using one of the templates we provide. Fortunately, creating a form using FormsCentral is really simple so if the form you created in LiveCycle Designer is fairly simple you could quickly recreate it using FormsCentral.

Creating a PDF in pages that retains all line breaks and formatting as source

Currently when we get pages documents, we convert them to PDF and send them off to be converted by a partner. We do this because said partner doesn't accept pages.
However, lately we've found issues in PDFs created by pages that do not retain styling nor line breaks correctly.
Example for line breaks:
The quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dog.
When converted to PDF it shows exactly the same on the PDF, as it did pages. The paragraph breaks are retain in the pages document, and the PDF looks correct.
But when you copy/paste the text (which is generally how we test how valid the actual text is) you get something like:
The quick brown
fox
jumped over the lazy dog.
In some cases we even get line breaks on every word.
We used the Export to PDF feature, the Print to PDF feature, and even generated a postscript and distilled with Acrobat Pro.
Does anyone know how to solve this? It seems anything generated with QuartzPDFContext has issues.

Interesting that preview works, but not Acrobat. Thanks!
We are using export to word as a second option. The formatting (as in exact spacing and such) isn't always 100% retained. PDF afterall is a representation of what the customer wants. We don't always suggest it but in some type of books it helps.

Can I create a report to show all usage between my phone and one other iphone only?

Is there a way for me to view all iMessages sent/received between my iPhone and another in my contacts?

Hi Jiangfan,
You cannot insert an image in a post. Hence, use the external link to your website, where the image with the architecture is found. I am sure that anyone wanting to help, will have the patience to put together and understand all information you supply.
Just for reference, some formatting options (not shown in the sidebar) are on the Oracle Discussion Forums FAQ.

Printing button in PDF fillable form.

Dear All,
I have created a PDF fillable form with a button which save & print the pdf.
The code for is as fallow:
Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.Bildfeld1::click - (JavaScript, client)
var Mailto = "[email protected]";
var Betreff = Textfeld1.rawValue;
var Nachricht = "Dies ist eine Telefonnotiz\r2.Zeile Hier";
var CC = "[email protected]";
var BCC = "[email protected]";
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + Betreff + "&Body=" + Nachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: false,
cSubmitAs: "PDF"
event.target.closeDoc(true); (FormClac)
Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.DruckenSchaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
my problem now is that with this script I can print and save the file even though all required fields are not filled!! I donot anyone to have the possibility to print the file or save it unless he fill all required fileds.

Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sharon
The easiest way is:
- Open your PDF form within Acrobat
- From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
- From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

Adding Signature in PDF Fillable form

We will be creating Adobe PDF Fillable forms, and were looking for the staff to be able to add their signatures either as a jpeg or pdf file, is this possible and how do you do it, also will the field need to just be a text field or something else.
Thanks for any help.

PDF preview is not a editing mode...You need to switch back to the editing mode by selecting 'Body Pages' tab from Designer.

Can I create a PDF fillable form that allows form multiple entries and one submission?
