Can indd be used to make tablet forms

Can indd be used to create fillable forms for use with tablets?
Currently I use indd to create forms/applications and then save them as a pdf.
Using Acrobat Pro X, I make the forms/apps able to be filled out.
The end-users for these documents need to be able to add descriptions, which can vary in size.
All I can do now is just supply extra pages, but this leaves a lot of blank space if they don’t fill it.
I have used LiveCycle, but am neither happy with the results, or proficient with how to use it.
I need forms that look like all the other forms the company is using.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

What I really need to know is can indd do the job. The end users at present are using the letter size forms, and because of other restrictions within our system, these forms will need to remain a letter size. Also, these forms are for internal use only, within our business, and will never be used on a mini tablet. When I was at the Print Expo, someone said indd could do it. I just want to know how. There has to be other ways to create forms for tablets besides LiveCycle. I took the LiveCycle training, and it is hardly supported by Adobe. What other options are out there?

Can APEX_ITEM be used to generate a Form page?

Hi,
I would like to use APEX_ITEM to generate in APEX 4.0 a Form region at runtime, based on some meta tables that describe the columns, labels, datatypes etc..
It seems that people use APEX_ITEM for generating updatable tabular form and I start to question my original concept. I created a PL/SQL Anonymous block region, that contains the following code segment:
htp.p(
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST (
3,
'Y',
'Yes;Y,No;N',
'Y',
'readonly=readonly',
'P1_MARRIED',
'Married'
When I run my form and click my 'Session' link at the botom of the page, the P1_MARRIED item would not show up in the item list of the page. Am I missing something or this 'Generate a Form region at runtime' concept is based on my missunderstanding of APEX_ITEM API?

Thanks, that was enlightening!
So if I understand it well, it means that:
1.) I have to give my region 'Form like' layout by using htp.p appropriately. Yes. A custom named column report template is another useful approach.
2.) What concerns the update processing, it means I should handle the region as a 1-record report i.e. using Fxx arrays but always referencing the first member of each Fxx array only: APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fxx (1)Yes, unless there are actually any 1:M elements (home, work, and mobile phone numbers/email addresses for example), where the same type of element is repeated. (This might also help with point 3...)
Note also that disabled items are not submitted, and only checked checkboxes are submitted
3.) I am OK, provided that I generate maximum 50 items on a page, since 50 is a hard-coded limit that can not be gotten around. (I will have to work out solution for this, since i have 53 columns in the given table)Dividing the form into several wizard-style pages as used in the APEX Application Builder is probably the best solution to this. It enables you to keep the sub-form pages simple, clean and short, so users don't have to scroll up and down. Save the submitted values from each sub-form page in APEX collections, and display a final report based on the collection(s) for the user to review before saving the information to the database table.
Alternatively, some of these columns might be common across all the form permutations, and implementable using standard page items.

Can Widgets be used to make icons?

I've found a few widgets that I'd like to use as icons, but I can't figure out how to do it. For example the skull & cross bones used for "CROSSBONES''. I'd also like to use "WORLD CLOCK & CALENDAR"
on my desktop all the time, and be transparent if possible..
Can these things be done?

Widgets are just directories containing the relevant files. They also have the .wdgt extension.
You cat use the Terminal to find the widget icon, which will have the name Icon.png

Can Automator be used to make movie screencaptures?

Even though I've had a MacBook Pro for over a year, I've only recently discovered that I have Automator on it and what it can do. I noticed that there is a "New Video Capture" option and I was wondering if this option is the equivalent of making movie screen captures?
If it is, can someone forward me to a quick tutorial?
Thanks in advance

No.
A quick glance at the options for iPhoto in Automator shows no options for exporting.
That's not your only hope, of course, and an app like Keyboard Maestro should certainly be able to create such a workflow triggered by a keystorke or event - like completing an import.

KM is a complex and very powerful app. You'll need to read the help on it.

Interactive PDF form on Android, can I make a form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I have an interactive PDF form on Android, is there any way to make a form field that will open the camera and insert the photo in the field?

One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.

How can I make a form show complex composite data?

How can I make a form show complex composite data?
We would like a form to display the following information:
Employee Names as the columns, 1 row for each calendar day, and each item in the block containing the total sales amount (and other information) for that employee for that day.
This would require the block to function as a (composite) crosstab report.
Here is an example:
We have employees: Jane, John, Jim, and Janice
We would like to see their total sales for the following days: 5/1 .. 5/5
Jane John Jim Janice
5/1 50 8 10 3 30 5 20 7
5/2 40 7 60 8 10 2 30 4
5/3 20 3 50 8 70 9 50 9
5/4 51 8 40 7 40 8 50 8
5/5 10 1 20 2 90 10 10 2
We have a table with records of each day, for each employee, and their sales for that day.
There is a possibility our list of employees can change as well as the number of days.
Anyone tried doing anything like this with a form? We don't want to just embed a report because we would like to include other data as well besides what is mentioned above and we would like them to be able to change some of that data. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a VERY similar problem where I want to have this matrix on the form with six days worth of data (three columns for each day) for my data table. I have done as Momen has suggested and created a view (using SQLPLUS):
create table weekdays (weekday varchar2(3), date_x date);
drop view employee_absences_v;
create view employee_absences_v as
select weekday,
absence_date,
hours,
absence_code_lvid,
adjustment_status_lvid
from employee_absences ea, weekdays wd;
that hopefully provides a row for each day of the week for my data table. The view is created OK but I'm not sure how to get it into the form properly. Also, I am using the form to CREATE rows in the data table not just SELECT and DISPLAY and there may or may not be a row of data for a corresponding day which is going to be a problem for me using this view method, I think. Let me know how this goes and if you get your form to work and how? Momen, your method appeals to me but it's not 100% clear how to get it to work in a form?

How can I make my form be a certified document?

Hi all,
In my form, I want to export xml by using the script "Reference_Syntax.exportData( [ STRING param1 [, BOOLEAN param2 ] ])",
for example, xfa.host.exportData("filename.xml",0).
However, it is invalid.
It says that "This parameter1 is only valid on certified documents where the user has sufficient
permissions".
But how can I make my form be a certified document, or how can I get the sufficient permissions?
Script "xfa.host.exportData("",0)" can be valid, but what I need is specifying the location and file name so that users can export xml just by clicking the button.
Can I achieve this function?
Waiting for your reply, thanks a lot!
Ellie

Please take a look at this discussion. Also, are your end users using Adobe Reader? If so, your document must be Reader Enabled withed LiveCycle RE to use the import / export xml functionality.

How to make a form using a wizard when the table has no primary key ?

Hi,
I want to make a form to update, delete a table. The table has no primary key. The problem is that the Wizard ask for a primary key.
How to avoid using a primary key ? i mean I don't want to create a primary key if is is possible.
I would like to use the wizard; is it possible ?
Thank you for your kind answers.
Christian

I believe the key is choosing 'Interactive' as opposed to 'Classic' in the implementation and then you can choose 'Existing Trigger' for the primary key source and it should work to use an existing column as your proimary key.

Hi! I have a Creative suite Design Standard 9 Adobe program and I am attempting to make a wizzard form that can be made into an entry form for a competition. So I need to 1. Make the form into a question and answer form that Participants may fill out. 2. make it possible for them to download it via a link on our website 3. make it possible for them to save the info they have written into the form and mail it to the mail we have supplied in the entry form and 4. make it possible for them to put in a jpg. as part of the entry for and lastly 5. make it possible for us to copy paste the document and use it on other platforms. How do I do this - is it at all possible with adobe?

Those requirements are go way beyond what PDF forms can do and are meant for, some of them would require involving other programs or are mutually exclusive and contradictory. You are wasting your time even thinking about doing this as an "offline" PDF form. Simply sign up for an online forms/ survey service like FormsCentral or Surveymonkey.

Hi can anyone tell me how to make the forms url short to the end user

Hi,
Im using oracle forms 11gR2 and everything is working fine, but my question in how to make the forms url short to the end user.
For example my forms url is " http://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet " now i want to modify this url as "myweb.gov.ae"
can anybody suggest me the possibilities to change to default forms url to our own url as mentioned in the above example.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari

You would have to either -
* edit the code pointed to by the new action attribute to
include the form
processing and email generation, or
* edit the form processing script to also include the insert
record and
check user name scripting
The former is probably the better procedure, since I suppose
you'd want to
do the check user name before sending the email.
Unfortunately, this means
you will have to get your hands into the code, or hire
someone to do it for
you.

ASP Web Forms Error: Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true

Hello,
I am developing a custom application page for a custom Web Forms I am creating, which I plan on using for custom task form into SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
Currently, I am trying to test it in Debug Mode using Visual Studio 2010 but when I am trying to use Sessions I get the error:
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration
I've already done this on trying to fix:
On my page
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestForm.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestForm" EnableSessionState="True" %>
And on my web.config
<pages enableSessionState="true">..<httpModules>
<remove name="Session" />
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</httpModules>
Note: I am getting an error when I try to add <module> into web.config
ASP .NET State Service is currently running.
And the part where it keeps error is when in PageLoad, I try to set a List object something like this:
List<object> myobject
get
if (Session["object"] == null)
Session["object"] = new List<object>();
return Session["object"] as List<object>;
set
Session["object"] = value;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
myobject= new List<object>();
BUT the error still persists! I also try to restart IIS but still the error still happens.
I am running out of ideas so can you help me out?
Thank you!

Could be your skype intercepting your requests at 80 port, in Skype options uncheck
Or Your IE has connection checked for Proxy when there is no proxy
Or your fiddler could intercept and act as proxy, uncheck it!
Solves the above problem, It solved mine!

Can I use ready made 123 form

I have a contact form which I made in 123 form maker. Can I insert it to my site. They supplied Javascript and inline Html versions of code. If I can what exactly is the procedure? Insert html , save. Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks iamDK, I wish I understood more about these things. The form is hosted by 123 and is already working beautifully on my local server. As I do not understand , maybe I will make a form on Muse. I really want to be able to see what the site looks like before I upload it to my web host. You may guess i have never done this before so I am thrashing around in the dark. 123 say either use the java script or the html to embedd to web site and their preference is Javascript. I do not really understand how Muse works . It sems the Assets folder equates to the root folder but I really am not sure. I did ask previously for an explanation but none was forthcoming. Thanks for your feedback.

Which system does Muse use to make the contact form widget work?

Hello,
I am a graphic designer working with a coder to create a new website using Muse. My coder has asked me which system does Muse use to make the contact form widget work. Looking at the page code it looks like ASP dot net and when the user clicks the button the form data is sent to a script called “FormProcessv2.aspx”. If this is the case which version? (e.g. ASP 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0) Does Muse use “dot net” or “.NET” or similar in the documentation? If so then does it say which version (e.g. 1.0 or 2.0)?
Can anyone help me with these questions?
Many Thanks
Emma

It's unclear what page URL/code you're looking at? Muse does not use ASP. Muse uses PHP for form processing and relies on PHP sendMail to send the form information as an e-mail.

Instead of using the make file can you build nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012?

After downloading the NI nimhddk_windowsWDM-2 and -1
Instead of using the make file I built nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012
I copied the source files out of the dir /nirlpk to the MS template for WDM drivers
It built after turning warnings as errors off.
After uninstalling the NI_DMX driver I tried to install the RLP driver that consisted of nirlp.inf and nirlpk.sys
I got this message:
Windows found driver software for your device but encounted and error while attempting to install it.
PCI-6602 RLP WDM
Driver is not intended for this platform
Is the nirlp.inf file correct for loading on Windows 7 64 bit?
Any ideas?

I have now altered the example along lines
suggested by ghaneman*, who pointed out that
a trusted application did not need to use the
FileOpenService/FileContents just to get an
InputStream.
* Mentioned on 'File associations / sandboxed app.'
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=785224
The altered code is..
/** Load a file into the editing area.
@param path A string representing the path to the desired file. */
public void loadFile(String path) {
    // first try as if this were a trusted application..
    if (!path.equals(".")) {
        try {
            FileInputStream inputStream = new
                FileInputStream(path);
            loadFile(inputStream);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // we do not have trust, use the FileOpenService
            loadFileByFileService(path);
    } else {
        // we only have a directory, use the FileOpenService
        loadFileByFileService(path);
public void loadFileByFileService(String path) {
    try {
        if (fileOpenService==null) {
            fileOpenService = (FileOpenService)ServiceManager.
                lookup("javax.jnlp.FileOpenService");
        fileContents = fileOpenService.openFileDialog(path, xtns);
        // the user may have cancelled the action..
        if (fileContents!=null) {
            loadFile( fileContents.getInputStream() );
    } catch(UnavailableServiceException use) {
        use.printStackTrace();
    } catch(IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
}If the user launches the trusted version, and
selects 'always trust' for the (self signed)
certificate, the end user can thereafter double
click a file and see it appear in the application's
editing area with no further user interaction.
