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).

  • User can't access a PDF with Forms

    On a website, we have a main menu PDF with a list of bookmarks linking to individual user manual PDFs.  When a user tries to access a user manual  PDF with forms in it, they get the error "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (118)." The user dosen't appear to have any problem opening a PDF that doesn't contain forms. 
    The user is using Reader 10.1.3 and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.19328.  This user cannot access the PDFs with forms when given a direct link to the file either. However, if the user is sent the PDF file they can open it with Reader and in their browser.  I'm stumped.  Does any body know what's going on here?

    Is there a browser setting that can affect if a PDF opens? Something in security, perhaps? I've looked around and don't see anything obvious that could allow/disallow opening a PDF file that contains form fields.

  • How can I create a PDF with cad layers visible and switchable?

    I am producing CAD drawings in Vectorworks 2013 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can export these as Autocad .dwg files and read them in E-Drawings viewer but do not have Autocad. I want to create a PDF of a drawing for a client to use which will display Vectorworks classes (Autocad layers) and they will be able to turn these classes (layers) on and off. I understand the client has received such files from other parties (probably using Autocad).

    Hi steffenoberlaender,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and MS Office are you using.
    Try exporting any other word file to PDF and check if this could be a document specific issue.
    If possible, share both the sample word and PDF file with me via email so that I can check at my end.
    I have sent you a private message with my contact ID details.

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

    Anna;
    Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
    If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can I create a pdf with clickable links which open new pdfs?

    Hi,
    My client now wants me to create pdf with links to open new pdfs (in an offline mode). He wants to put all the content onto memory sticks to hand out at a conference.
    I have suggested the alternative of links which redirect to other pages within the same pdf, but if I could create one which open whole new pages or documents this would be really smart.
    Many thanks,
    Sam

    When you create the links, use "Go to a page view" type, as opposed to "Open a file". This allows you to create links that will open another PDF to a particular page and view (zoom and position).

  • Can I create a PDF that includes photos using Adobe Reader?

    Is it possible to create a PDF document that includes photographs using only Adobe Reader?
    Or do you have to pay yet more for Acrobat?

    Rachel, although Word is not specifically designed for the job you describe, it can be used for it. Once you have completed your document, you can export it to a PDF file directly from Word (File > Save as > PDF). I would suggest trying first with a single page containing text and photographs like those you'll be eventually using. If results are not as good as you would like, you can explore other methods, such as using a proper design program to produce your originals. And, whatever method you use, don't forget to keep the original files along with your PDFs, and backup copies of both.

  • 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.

  • Can I create a PDF with embedded Postscript Type 1 fonts when ordering?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional version and can set up a Postscript file to be distilled with the proper settings for print. I often do this for professional printers. Are there settings available for book orders, and if so, can I send my own PDF through the iPhoto application somehow? The books need to have a "Prairie/Arts & Crafts" look, and they look much better using some of Postscript fonts I have than anything that came with the system.

  • How can I create a query with web service data control?

    I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results. I googled, but cannot find anything on the query with web service. I cannot find a "Named Criteria" in web service data control like normal data control. In Shay's blog, I saw the topics on update with web service data control. How can I create a query with web service data control? Thanks.
