Creating Forms: How to use Printing to Submit Forms?

Hello,
I am using Acrobat 9 and I am new to creating forms.  I would like to create a form for users to fill out.  Because the form will contain some sensitive information, I would like the user to print out the form and then mail it or fax it to us.  I want to make sure that all of the forms sent to us have every field filled out.
So my question is, how do I create a form such that the user can print it if and ONLY if they have filled out all required fields. 
Thanks for your help,
Dmitriy

There is no way to stop the printing. There is a "Will Print" action that will allow one to modify fields and perform other actions except cancel a save or print. So you can add the necessary script to check that the required fields are completed and if not issue a waring and display a hidden field that indicates the incomplete status. You can then use the "Did Print" action to once again hid the field.
You should be able to find post using search.

  • How to use css in oracle forms

    Hello,       I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 at windows 7.I have to use CSS in oracle forms.i have tried to search it but no profit.please some one else tell me that how can use css in oracle forms. Thnak You regards aaditya

    Hi
    As Francois pointed out Oracle forms has nothing to do with html based technology. The way you can get the equivalent effect of creating consistancy in the way your objects are displayed is by creating a set of items you want and alter their apperance and behaviour and place them into object libraries (one library should do the trick).  From there you subclass all of you forms items off these libraries.

  • Struts html:form how to use autocomplete  = "off"

    Hi... I am having a problem when I try to use Autocomplete = "OFF" on my jsp page using struts...
    my question is how to use autocmplete on html:form / text tag? to disable autocomplete!

    The "value" for the checkbox comes from nested content inside the <html:multibox> tag - in this case you are using "item"
    "items" is the complete list of items
    "selectedItems" should be a String[] of all the selected values.
    Each time it adds a checkbox, it compares "item" with its array of "selectedItems".
    If "item" is in there, then the box is populated as "selected" otherwise not.
    Does that explain it?
    Cheers,

  • How do I remove the Submit Form button?

    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 with LiveCycle. I have created an interactive form and did not include a button to e-mail the form. When the distributed form is opened, there is a purple bar across the top with instructions to click "Submit Form" and  "Highlight Fields" and "Submit Form" buttons. I do not want this form e-mailed back to me. It just needs to be saved by the user and uploaded at a later time. Saving it after the user fills in the fields is not the issue. That is working fine. But the user may be confused by a button saying they should submit the form. Plus it is my e-mail address in the field and I don't want all these forms showing up in my e-mail box. This happens whether I choose to distribute it with "Automatically download..." or "Manually collect..."
    Does anyone know what can be done to prevent the form from displaying the "Submit Form" button?
    Also, one user did get get a warning when saving about that not being the optimal way to send the data. I believe it said to press submit form. I'm sorry, I was not relayed the exact warning, but it was something to that effect. It did, however, save correctly.

    Pzaidel: YOU are a freakin genius. Great suggestion-worked perfectly! Here's how I did it with a form created in Indesign:
    Do entire backgrnd layout in Indesign-convert to regular PDF.
    Open New doc in LC-standard way-create all fields.
    After completion when you open it in Adobe Acrobat, you will see the "Submit Form" at the top next to "Highlight existing fields".
    Go back to your LiveCycle doc and:
    Highlight and ctrl+c copy all fields onto clipboard. [I don't think there is an option to copy fields anywhere within LC]
    Do as Pzaidel suggests above: create new LC form [you cannot avoid selecting interactive form....but didn't seem to matter].
    Import your PDF layout from InDesign [or word].
    THEN Paste all fields back into form.
    TA DA! No submit button.
    AND after importing and placing all fields, I even included a print button that works on the bottom of the form so anyone could see-it must be printed and cannot be submitted-at least by a button.
    Thanks so much for the fix!!

  • How do you delete the submit form

    How does one get rid of the submit button when creating a form in Acrobat?  When I create the form, I then click Distribute form and in that process the submit button is attached to the form.  I don't want that button on the form.
    Mahalo,
    Ms Moore

    OK, just don't distribute the form then and the submit button won't be displayed. In saying this I'm assuming you have a copy of the form before you distributed it. If not, you can save a copy (File > Save a Copy) and I think that will take care of it, though you may have to delete some other (somewhat hidden) stuff in the document.
    If the form needs to be filled and saved by Reader users, then you will have to Reader-enable the form. This is done automatically when you distribute a form, but you can do it separately by selecting in Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    If you're using Acrobat 9, you'd select: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader

  • How can I edit my submit form to my email or my form adobe

    I have not done a form in Dreamweaver, but I am curious how
    you got the code to send it to an e-mail address. Is this a built
    in Dreamweaver function?
    Webpage forms are meant to send data, not display data. If
    you want the e-mail formatted into a specific format you would need
    the script for the send form modified to also include formatting
    lines. Depending on your end purpose, this might not be worth the
    added time.
    I usually have the raw data e-mailed (if I need a copy in my
    inbox) and also store the information into a database. I then have
    a loccation on my website that I can log into to retrieve the form
    data. By retrieving it through the webpage, I can have any format I
    want to display it in. This process also makes it nice to filter
    the information that was sent, and if it includes e-mail addresses
    it is easy to create mailing lists from it.
    Need Help
    thanks

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like
    http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.

    Heya Waleed,
    I use spry to create an autocomplete form that works great across browsers that have javascript enabled. You can store info in a database and parse the info to xml for a dynamic approach. Take a look at the filter examples in spry.

  • How to use Stored Procedures in form 6i Blocks

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to know how to use Stored Procedures while creating blocks in Data Block Wizard in forms 6i application.
    Please send me sample code of stored procedure.
    Regards,
    Khader.

    The Data Block Wizard is not for creating stored procedures. It will allow you to use a stored procedure in your form. See the help documentation for how to use the wizard.
    Here's an example of a simple procedure. If you search the database forum or the web, you will find many examples.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure_name (value OUT NUMBER ) AS
    BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO value

  • How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

    Hi,
    I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
    Thanks
    Luksh

    I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
    4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
    Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

  • How do I print a interactive form out? It allows printing and filling.

    Hi, I'm trying to print out an interactive form that I filled out and then saved on my hard drive. The author allows printing and filling out of the PDF when it was created. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installed along with the current drivers for my compatible printer. Within the same PDF the first sheet "instruction sheed" is an all text flat form, which prints just fine. The problem lies when I try to print other sections of the PDF, When I try to print it all I get is the header and a footer that the author created, but all the spaces where questions/ text and my fill in answers don't show up on the print preview image or when the printed sheet comes out of my printer.
         I have tried to print as an image without success. I don't think its an author issuse because it was released out of a California Department for several houndred/thousands of others. Please if you have any ideas or questions i look forward to any advice.

    Sorry I forgot to add that the PDF is devided by a "Chapter" style cover face that devided multiple sets of forms in to categories. At the bottome of these categories is a "Print whole document" which can only be clicked once the whole thing has been filled out. Do to some information over lap some dates don't follow the (time line order) it requirest to fill in the data so two of the categories show up as incomplete. Take a look at the document yourself, maybe I NEED to rewrite the information and see if that works.
    *Edit* Looks like I CAN print a blank form at the begining when it asked me if i want a blank form, will try to rearange dates so it will show as all COMPLET.
    PDF file can be found at the California government website:

    Hi,
    hard to tell because the error simply says that there is a class missing that is expected. If you are not using other beans in Forms, can you take out the Graph bean to see if your module runs without? If it does, then we know that the problem is related to the bean. If the Forms module still doesn't run then you would have to take out the next bean until eventually the error goes away. Starting from here you put think back in and see when th eproblem reoccurs. This helps you to narrow down the problem.
