Converting (locking) form upon submission.

HI All. I have a product sample submission form for my laboratory. The form has multiple fields that are filled out by the requestor and a Submit button that will mail a copy to a domain. When I send the form now, it does not lock the fields and can still be edited. I would like for it to lock the field and send what I call a "normal" .pdf, (like when you convert a .docx to a .pdf). Is that possible in LiveCycle? I would like for the form to not be editable once it is sent, as well as to be smaller in size. (3MB after submission currently).

Try the LiveCycle Designer forum. This forum is about forms created in Acrobat.

Lock form upon submission

Hello, all!
I know this questions has been asked and posted before throughout these forums, but none of the answers seem to work for my situation.
I created a fillable form in Adobe LiveCycle. This form is submitted via e-mail. I need this form to be locked/uneditable when it is sent so that the recipient cannot alter it.
I know it's possible, but I have limited coding knowledge and can't seem to make it work. Any help would be monstrously appreciated. =D
Also, once the file is sent (I have it set to be sent as a .pdf), is there any way to change the file name of the attachment?

OK: form is submitted via e-mail

Check out www.pdfemail.net
PDFEmail.net can send PDF form submissions in FDF, XFDF, XDP, XML & PDF formats with Adobe Reader and ASP.net. PDFEmail.net works without any programming required. PDFEmail.net allows you to setup attachment formats and filenames, e-mail message fields, and user responses or redirects.
Using your own SMTP server, PDFEmail.net sends the form submissions without client side e-mail software such as OUTLOOK. Just create the scripts on a workstation, and upload the package to your virtual directory on your ASP.net web server, and set the submit action to point to the script.

Prevent PDF from converting to FDF upon submission?

I have created a pdf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro that has fillable forms. I have a submission button at the bottom that sends completed form via email directly to me. When I receive the forms they come in an fdf file format. I've done something simple to the form before within Acrobat 9 Pro that prevents it from converting to the fdf file but I cannot remember how I did it! I did not use any scripts or anything that kept it as a pdf once submitted/sent.
I just need help remembering a SIMPLE few steps to the settings of the Acrobat file that prevents the form from submitting an fdf file.

George_Johnson when you mentioned the Submit Form action it clicked and I remembered how I did it!
Clicked Edit Form Fields
Right clicked on my submission button and clicked Properties
Click Actions tab
Clicked to highlight 'Submit a form'
clicked edit
Under Export Format, clicked PDF The complete document
Thank you so much!

Reset form upon submission extension?

IS t here an extension that will force all form vaules to be reset upon form submission please?

Try this script:
This goes in the head area:
<script language="javascript">
function reset() {
document.name_of_form.name_of_textfield.value="";
document.name_of_form.name_of_textfield.value=""; // and so on until you list each field
</script>
This goes in the body tag: OnLoad="reset()"
So the body tag will look like this:
<body OnLoad="reset()">
I tested this and it works.
So the first thing you need to do is to make sure that your form has a name (for example, name="form1"). Then you need to make sure each of your fields are name (for example, name="first_name" or name="email").
So, using the example above, you would replace the name_of_form with form1 (if you named your form, "form1") and also replace the name_of_textfield with the actual name of your textfield. So let's say you named your form form1 and your first text field first_name, your second text_field last_name, and a third email. Here's now your code would look:
<script language="javascript">
function reset() {
document.form1.first_name.value="";
document.form1.last_name.value="";
document.form1.email.value="";
</script>
Basically, the code says in this document reset the first_name field in form 1 to empty ("").
You may want to try just the first two fields first to make sure everything is working before writing the whole script.

Submit not locking form

I have a form that when the submit button is selected, it locks a subform and sends a pdf doc. However when I open the document it unlocks the form allowing for edits. How do I prevent this from happening? I'm LC Designer ES 8.2.1

Did you add script to lock the sub-form upon submission? Field locking is not default behaviour.
If you want the form to be non-editable by users subsequent to the original save, you will either have to flatten the document (make it not interactive basically) or add script to make fields read only.

Rename PDF file upon submission

Is there a way to append the senders name or an instance name to the PDF filename upon email submission?
Right now, I haven't figured out how to flatten the form upon submission so I'm going to post the form online as it is... The recipient will receive the form (not the static PDF I eventually want) with the same name every time & have to remember to rename it uniquely each time it is received... I don't really want to have to make them do that just in case they forget & it overwrites an existing file...
Any assistance on how to call the Output.transformPDF would be helpful as well. Not sure how to code it...

you can use setDocAttribute(document,"wsfilename","newFileName") function to rename the pdf,
for your other issue you can use the workflow to create a simple process which transforms the PDF, if you need any help on that email me
[email protected], will be more than happy to help you out

How to Close InfoPath Form After Submission When Two Buttons Exist?

I have an browser-enabled InfoPath 2010 form that has two views and a submit button on each view. The form would correctly submit and close the form using one button on the form until the second button was added. After adding the submit button on a second
view, the second button submitted/closed but the behavior on the first view changed so that the form no longer closes after submission. I’ve researched this and have not yet found a solution to allow closing the form after submission for one of the buttons.
Things I’ve tried:
- I’ve attempted creating multiple submit data connections for the different buttons
- Specifying different Submit Options
- Try closing the form with the code
- Add another button to the non-closing view
- Add duplicate Rule actions to "Close this form: No Prompt"
Settings:
Button rules:
- Submit using data connection: SharePoint Library Submit
- Close this form: No Prompt
Button Properties:
- Action > Rules and Custom Code
The form Submit Options:
- Send form to a single destination (a form library)
- Choose a data connection for submit (SharePoint library submit)
- Advanced > After Submit: Close the form
Advanced form options:
- Filler Features: all items unchecked (not allowing Save, etc.)
- E-Mail Attachments: uncheck Enable InfoPath e-mail form functionality for this form template
Resources:
When considering programmatically submitting and closing the form, I understand from this article that the Rules run before code and I can’t close the InfoPath form programmatically by writing code behind a button that has a rule set on it:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/01/how-to-programmatically-run-code-close-infopath-web-form/
Discussion of creating a custom Save and Submit buttons for InfoPath browser forms:
http://markhaverty.com/sharepoint/custom-save-and-submit-buttons-for-infopath-browser-forms/

what if you need to switch views?
I have the same problem in a similar situation. I created a test button to narrow down the cause. the button submits data & closes the form fine. however when I add a rule to switch views before the submit & close rule, it
breaks. Submit still works but it no longer closes the form. If I disable the switch-view rule, then it closes fine.
I tried added another rule to switch back to the main view but that didn't help.
switching views is an integral part of the workflow b/c I want to email the alternate view upon approval & then close the form. So removing that rule is not a good answer unfortunately.

Converting Forms6 form back to Forms5

I have got a form written in Forms6 that I need to being able to
run in Forms5. If you open the Forms6 version of the form in the
Forms5 form builder, the form will open, but you have lost all
of the trigger code and program units. I have tried converting
the form to an FMT file and reconverting it back, but nothing
seems to work. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to
paste all of my trigger/program unit code into the Forms 5
version ?.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0. I created the form in Live Cycle and the way I would like it to work is the first user fills out some info, signs it and sends along to a few others to sign off on. At the last signature I want it to lock and the user be able to either use the print button which I trigger a convert function to make flat (not sure if you can do?) or they print to file so they can merge with another regular pdf document. The steps I am using right now to test: I open the file, fill out all, sign and save; open the signed copy and print to file; save it as a .pdf. It thens says it is corrupt when I try to open. Not sure if the problem is in my form settings or print settings?

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.
Please verify whether this reolves the problem for you.

For this it says:
<i>How to convert a date to internal or external format?
Use the functions modules CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL or CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL
to convert the date. When converting to external format, the date format from the user's user profile will be used. When converting to internal format, the result will be in YYYYMMDD format.</i>

There is no automatic way to do this in JDeveloper. I know there are some Oracle Partners offering forms to java conversion, I don't know how much of their tools are automated and done with JDeveloper. With JDeveloper+ADF you basically rewriting the Forms application from scratch (and using ADF is helpful during this process).
