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.

1) click on tools on the right hand side
2) Go to forms
3) Click on edit forms.

How do you save a PDF fillable form with a Samsung Tablet and still continue to have access to the original document?

We are using the Samsung Note and have uploaded a PDF form for fieldwork crews to enter vegetation data. When we have filled in the form there is no option to save the form under a different name but rather the form simply saves itself with the most recent information placed in it. We understand that you can send it through Acrobat.com to your account but the tablet will not access this site while in the PDF app. Does anyone know of an app or a way that we can create individually saved files and still have access to the original on the tablet?

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

How can I export multiple PDF fillable forms into a spreadsheet (Excel) using VBA?

Hi guys,
I never used VBA with with Adobe Acrobat. I would like a tip to start doing that. What I would like to do know is:
1 - I have multiple PDF Forms that are filled.
2 - I want all the data from those forms to be exported to Excel via VBA code.
3 - Adobe Acrobat already have an option to do that manually (Forms > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet) and it works perfectly.
4 - I would like to access that feature using VBA, then generate a spreadsheet.
Any tips? How can I start?
Thanks!

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

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.

Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable. I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK.
Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female. If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

Thanks for explaining that. I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property? I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there. Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me. If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature. So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using. So if I want to make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
Thanks for your continued help!

How do I NOT allow a PDF Fillable form I've created to be saved?

I just got XI Pro ... I've never had a pro version before. A co-worker who has used pro for ages (but has an older version) showed me how to make it so that a PDF filled form could be saved by another user. However, in the version I have it seems that the ability for another user to save a PDF filled form is automatic ... I can't figure out how to shut it off.
Our PDF fillable forms will be on our website, but we DO NOT WANT a user to be able to save the filled or the blank form. Looking for a PRINT-ONLY option once it's been filled out.
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks!

This was recent;y discussed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211
There was a major change made with Reader 11 that allows it to save filled-in forms, add all sorts of comments/markups, and some other things without the document needing to be Reader-enabled, unlike all previous versions. This is what you're noticing. So the best you can do is attempt to clear the fields when the document is saved and/or when it's opened.

Can Word 2010 populate fillable fields in a pdf fillable form?

Is it possible to define fillable fields in a word 2010 document (name, address, city, state, zip, date) so that after a save to pdf and [Page] add existing file, an existing pdf fillable form will auto-populate same named fields in the added pdf fillable form?

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

Can you upload a facebook cover created in elements 13 to page that you manage? This is not my personal page but a community page. When I try to do this Elements asks me to revert back to my personal page.

Hi,
You can also try one more workaround for this by using PSE Organizer. The steps are as follows:
1. Create a facebook cover. In case you don't know how to creatw a facebook cover, please go through Photoshop Elements Help | Create a Facebook profile and cover picture
2. Save the cover with "Include in Elements Organizer" option checked.
3. Now, go to Elements Organizer and export that file.
    - Select the cover photo.
    - Go to File > Export as New File
    - Choose format and location.
    - Click OK.
4. Now, you can use this file to upload.
If you stuck somewhere or need any other assistance, do let me know.
Thanks,
Swapnil

How do i lock my pdf fillable form file

Thank you in advance for any help.
I have two questions:
1) How do I save my fill-able form pdf file as a NON fill-able form so that the saved version cannot be changed? I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the MAC
2) How do I add a page to my pdf file. When I try to use thumbnails the fill-able pdf file will not accept a page that I scanned as a pdf file? Could it be that the fill-able pdf file won't accept a non-fill-able page? I want to scan the signature page back into the document after I have signed it.
I have struggled with these two issues for days!
Thank you,
Ben

Those types of forms are static XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer. They generally can't be edited in Acrobat even if you remove the usage rights. There is a bug in Acrobat 9 that you can take advantage of if you have access to it that will allow you to convert it to an AcroForm that you can then add pages to and convert to a non-fillable PDF.

Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.
