Distributing 'save for later' distribution pdf forms

I have created a _pub_ pdf form and corresponding data_set file for their collection. Things seem to work IF the person receiving them understands to use Acrobat or Reader to fill the form and not Apple Preview for example.
When the form was originally 'distributed' the options asked if I wanted to distribute now or save for later. I chose later and I need to send out in waves or individually.
The issue I assume is giving me the trouble now, is that I am 'attaching' the _pub_ file in an email, which does not deliver it with instructions.
How do I distribute it without recreating / saving the file with the 'distribute form' function - and risk having to recreate a new data_set each time, or breaking the links to the data_set?
The 'save for later' should leave me with a way to send them?
Thanks for your help.

Looking for an Adobe PDF form desinger

I am looking for someone who is familiar in designing PDF forms. I have a project that I need completed. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,

Not interested, but simply open the manual (HELP file) and read about creating forms. You can use the tools in the tool menu for an Acrobat form or the forms link to Designer to have a Designer form (no longer editable in Acrobat). Things to watch out for are to submit FDF or XML data files and to not use mail submission, but web script submission. If you have limited distribution, the email format can be used, but is a problem for general distribution of forms.

Save for later option in Global Creation

I have a business case where the user needs to save the form that he is completing for later completion. This has to happen only in the Global Creation activity. Since the instance is not created, how can I store information in ALBPM other than in the database and retrieve it when the user tries to initiate and refill the same form ?
Is there a way to do it in ALBPM where one can identify this SAVE FOR LATER request and re-open the form for completing it later?

Hi,
You can have an activity after the begin with similar form as the global creation activity and make this activity reachable when the user clicks on the 'Save for Later' button (using conditional transition right after the begin)
in this way, if the user decides to submit then...it will go the standard way ...but if clicks on the Save, data will be stored and the activity will be waiting for
the user in his or her inbox.
The bad thing here is that anytime, we save for later, an instance is created...
Hope this helps

****** what i did in my app
1) i have created the one taskflow. in taskflow i have one jsff page and it has one datacontrol (created viewobject and draged it in jsff. where i have some inputtext box).
2) i have added following entries in the adf-config.xml file...
<adfc-controller-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/config">
<savepoint-datasource>jdbc/scottDS</savepoint-datasource>
<savepoint-manager>DATABASE</savepoint-manager>
<savepoint-expiration>86400</savepoint-expiration>
<enable-implicit-savepoints>true</enable-implicit-savepoints>
</adfc-controller-config>
3) what i want to achieve is restore the values entered by the user if he closes the form without saving data.

I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

Hi,
You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

How to disable Save & Print functionality in PDF form?

Hi,
This is the requrement, client need to disable Save & Print functionality in PDF form. (They not allow employee save & print the hrforms payslip)
May I know how to do it. Thank you.
What is the parameter value in structure SFPOUTPUTPARAMS that I need to set in order to disable Save & Print functionality ?
call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    changing
      ie_outputparams = SFPOUTPUTPARAMS
    exceptions
      others          = 1.

Hi Nayan,
I'm the person who did the WD as well, using IFrame to contain the PDF binary. WD site didn't contro the binary source.
I pre-define the 'FP_JOB_OPEN' before calling the PDF generation.
Optional: Set output parameters
gs_outputparams-nodialog = ''.
gs_outputparams-preview   = ''.
gs_outputparams-getpdf    = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-nopreview = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-noprint   = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-noarchive = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-nopributt = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-arcmode = '1'.
gs_outputparams-noarchive = 'X'.
Open print job
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CHANGING
      ie_outputparams = gs_outputparams
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS          = 1.

IRecruitment: Save for Later functionality while applying to a vacancy/job

Hi,
We are planning to introduce a couple of customizations around the 'Save for Later' functionality in iRecruitment.
Test case:
An external candidate/applicant logs into his irecruitment portal and searches for a job.
He provides some information and opts to click the 'Save for later' button midway.
I am interested in knowing which table does this 'Save for later' vacancy details data go to.
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
All the transactions for save for later will be stored in the hr_api_transactions.
Thanks and Regards,
Joshna.

I read funtionality "Save For Later" from ADF Developer Guide. And tested it using JDEVELOPER 11.1.1.6 on a DB table with Number, Date, Varchar2 datatypes.
But can I create a table with BLOB datatype & make use of this functionality?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Save and Close the PDF form

I've created PDF Form (Acrobat XI standard) with various field and button for sending the link of document location by outlook mail. I need the adobe java script for save the document in same location and close the document while i use the button for sending the link.

You can only save the file to a specific location if you can install a script on the local machine where the file is used.
Otherwise the best you can do is cause the Save As dialog to open, but you can't force the file to be saved.

Question for sending a PDF Form with desktop mail

Dear all,
I try to create a PDF form and use it for a Workflow.
Therefore I created some "Send" Buttons and put into the Properties/Actions/Submit a Form the comand "mailto: [email protected]".
The second "Send" Button contains another mail adress which is also shown while putting the mouse over the button.
But after clicking this one the PDF is still send to the Mail-Adress from the first button!
Any idea, what went wrong or where the issue is?
Thanks for a quick feedback
Thomas

Hi try67,
thanks for the tipp.
I already renamed all send-buttons -> but it still does not work!
This morning I deleted them all and created new one - now it seems to work.
BUT: it only works as long as there is no digital signature on the document.
As soon as the first signature is placed - all send buttons change to the same email adress.
???? Looks quite strange....

HT201232 software for filling out pdf forms

software for filling out pdf forms

You can see from this posting in the Adobe Communities that you can get Adobe Reader from the App Store; you can fill out forms on an iPhone with it. Reader will also work with the iPad. I only use Reader on a Mac, but even though Preview will open PDF's and can be used to fill out forms, Reader seems to work better, which may be true running in iOS also.

Has anyone found an app for creating fillable pdf forms on an ipad?

I have found many apps that allow me to fill in already created fillable pdf forms on an ipad, but I'm wondering if there are any apps that allow the creation of PDF forms on an ipad? (similar to adobe professional...?). Thanks for your time!

PDFpen pro can be used on the Mac to generate fillable forms. It is much less expensive than Acrobat.
For IOS, I would check out
PDF Expert by Readdle
DocuSign Ink
I know the allow you to sign your name on PDF forms.
I would think they can extend that to fillable forms.
