Creation of fillable forms from existing HTML documents

Hi All,
I know this is doable, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or perhaps to an existing HowTo.
I recently started working for a company in which part of my job duties includes the creation of new users and deauthinication of terminated user accounts. The company uses specific forms for accomplishing this that are filled out from templates in Outlook 2010, i.e. New Items-->More Items-->Choose Forms. This provides the users with a list of forms. By clicking on one of these forms it opens an e-mail that the requester populates.
The issue we are having with this is that sometimes they use the form, and/or don't provide the right information. They will modify the form and delete certain row or columns etc. They also have a tendency to not provide all the mandatory information.
I can take these forms and save them as HTML document from Outlook. What I would like to do is create them as fillable PDF forms with some fields as drop downs, other as mandatory and once they have completed the form correctly, (at least to the extent I can make it fool proof), then they can click on a button that will allow them to e-mail the completed form to the desired recipient admin group via outlook.
The current method is the requester fills out the form then e-mails it to say their manager, who then types approved and sends it back, the requester then sends it to the next person until all the needed "approves" are received then it gets forwarded to a group who is basically the clearinghouse for all access requests who then send it to the appropriate systems admin group emails for completion. Once complete the admins do a reply all with users created or deauthinicated etc for systems xxx and xxx as requested at the top of the e-mail. 
I want to make this process more standardized to prevent users from not completing the form correctly or modifying the Outlook form to their own interpretation of how the form should be or leaving out mandatory information.
I would also like the form to automatically name itself with the employee number of the requestor with the date and time appended, i.e RM74651_10202014_0917 when they go to send it and place a copy of the completed form in a pre-specified network folder.
Any information, suggestions or HowTo would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gordon

Hi Surabh,
Use HTML codes in notepad. Use the notepad to upload the file and create mail form. You should follow W3C standard. Refer note 1131645.

  • How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

  • How do I creat a filliable form from a scan document?

    How do I create a fillable form from a scan word document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Hi melaniev10032955,
    You might need to follow these steps to convert word into fillable PDF form:
    Open the scanned word document
    Click File> Print> Adobe PDF
    A PDF file would be created that would automatically open in Acrobat XI pro
    At this point, you would have a basic PDF file which still needs to get converted into fillable form
    Choose "Tools> Text Recognition> In this File" to run OCR to make your scanned doc searchable.
    Now, go to "Tools> Forms> Create"
    Acrobat will ask some questions. On the first screen, make sure 'Use an existing file' is selected and then click Next.
    On the next screen, 'Use the current document' must be selected.
    You might need to edit few fields manually. Then, just click Preview button on the top and check how you PDF form appears.
    Try this out and let me know if you face any problem.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • I have been unsuccessful in exporting a fillable form from our Canada Revenue Agency.  Help?

    I need to export a PDF which is a fillable form from our Canada Revenue Agency because it won't print in Adobe.  Help?

    Exporting fillable forms isn't viable, and could even leave you subject to penalties for government forms. That is a non-starter. Focus on getting it to print, why not describe your problem in the Adobe Reader forum.

  • Create fillable form with changing source document

    I want to create a fillable, saveable form in which the source document changes.  Hope I am using the correct verbiage.  Source document meaning the Word document that I convert to a .pdf, which I then use to create the fillable form.  This source document has client/description information that consistently changes.  Is there any way to easily create the fillable form, without having to insert/size/change the text boxes each time (iow, create a whole new form each time)?  I am using Acrobat X.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    If you can have a copy of the original form, create a PDF of the changed form and create a new PDF with a name different that the original form. This will be content layer of the document and not have the form field layer or form fields. You can then open the original PDF form and use the "Document => Replace pages..." to replace the underlying content of the original form while retaining the form field layer. You can now save the revised form. You may need to relocate form form fields due to changes in the form.

  • Creation of Mail Forms -- From HTML page

    Hi all,
    I have a basic question wrt the creation of MAIL FORMS in SAP CRM.
    Our client creates Email communication content in HTML format. And the requirement is to use these HTML files for creation of Mail Forms (on a very frequent basis)
    While creating Mail Forms there is an Option to UPLOAD HTML file. Can we upload HTML files to create the MAIL FORMS
    We tried doing the same but the files after upload got distorted and the result was not as desired. Should the HTML file exist in a defined format before upload in SAP CRM mail form?
    Thanks.

  • Can I use FormsCentral when creating a form from existing document?

    Hi,
    I am trying to make a template in Formscentral. I want to use a picture with our corporate design for forms. I can change that in a PDF, but if I want to use that in FormsCentral, The picture is not paper wide (as it should), but leaves white margins an header and footer. But if I try to make a form and chose 'from existing document' I seem to not be able to end up in FormsCentral. What am I doing wrong?
    Isabella

    Hello George,
    How do I upload a PDF to the FormsCentral service? Wil I see that form then in My Forms or in the the standard templates list? I want to be able to re-use a collored PDF with no fields in it. I use this one to make several forms which will all look the same in the background.

  • Can't Create Form From Existing PDF

    I received a PDF from a woman, it is a form that I can print out and snail mail. I decided to convert it to a PDF fillable form as it would be faster and cleaner to fill out...I can't. I am getting the following error and it's not just her PDF, I get this on any file I convert to PDF and tell to create a fillable form of. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to CC  and installed the latest Acrobat version.
    Error:
    "Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error:
    Bad PDF; error in processing fonts. <bad Type0 font> [1]
    Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed. Because of this failure, you are advised to not save these changes."
    I don't know what font she used nor the program, I don't have control of that short of asking her to change the font so Acrobat will play with it. One could assume she used the exact same file she made the previous year and just updated the year and date on it which, using my previous version of Acrobat would work fine at creating a fillable form.
    Enquiring minds want to know.
    Thanks

    If you are adding/modifying ejb-jar.xml outside JDeveloper and trying to see the changes.
    Save the ejb-jar.xml file which is being modified externally
    Select ejb-jar.xml in JDeveloper
    and do View | Refresh
    This will load in the changes (providing the source path has been set properly)

  • Trying to create fillable form from InDesign table

    I am working on a very long document, over 100 rows and about 18 columns, which will exist only as a pdf. I need to make 6 of the columns interactive so that they can be filled in with one of three letters by the end user.
    I created the design in InDesign CS 5.5 as a table. That worked well for design control, but Acrobat X 10.1.3 does not recognize any of the cells in the PDF document. Is there a different InD export option that will make a table convert to a fillable form? I used press quality, then opened the pdf in Acrobat.
    I have worked around by creating a short drop down list with the three letters in it and copied that into the cells using the Place Multiple Fields command. Then I can adjust position easily enough.
    *Except* my client would prefer that the end user just type one of the letters into the cell/field rather than doing a drop down selection on each of the several hundred cells. She'd also like to be able to copy and paste the final filled-in information into her original excel document.
    Am I missing something in Acrobat? I don't do fillable forms often and have never had one this massive.
    I am working on a Mac.
    Thanks for any help.

  • How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

    I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient.  How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information.  I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank.  What can I do?  Thank you for your help.

    Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

  • Receive "Damaged File" error when trying to open a fillable form from website

    When our users try to access a fillable form they now receive the attached error message. The file is not damaged however. I can send the form viai e mail and it works fine. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    The PDF is a fillable form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. It is a rather large file (1800 kb). It lives (was uploaded) on our internal website, which is WordPress. It is accessed as a link. It worked just fine until yesterday. We did come up with a temporary solution, which is to have the form reside on a public drive, and then I linked to it from our web page. The form will open in IE, but not through Chrome or FireFox. Chrome asks for plug in updates. Our company does support Chrome and IE, but the majority of our users use IE.

  • How do I target a specific frame of an .swf from an HTML document

    I am creating a site half of the site if Flash application and the other half is HTML based, I can link to the HTML pages from by Flash site, but I can't seem to find out how to target a specific withing my Flash site from the HTML, no matter what I do it only links to the 1st frame of the .swf. Can somebody help me please.
    I am using AS2 for the flash portion and Dreamwaver CS3 for the HTML (or CSS).

    Sorry, I don't know what AS2 is .
    If you're using Flash or Swishmax, the workflow would go something like this:
    Copy your original work file.  Delete portions you don't need.  Save as project 1. Export as project1.swf.
    Open original work file. Delete other portions you don't need. Save as project 2. Export as project2.swf, and so on.
