Email PDF Form as a PDF Document

It seems as though this has been answered over on the "ES" side, but I can't find it for anyone (like me) using 7.0:
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0 and I've created a PDF form and it contains a "Submit" button to send the form. The form sends only XML information, but once all the fields are  filled out I need this document to save as a regular, unalterable, PDF.  This will be distributed via email to a small group who have Reader, and they need to save this electronically as a permanent copy of the file.
I tried altering the XML in designer so that is sends "PDF" rather than XML, but the fields just don't retain the field data...that is, the form is blank.
The  form needs to be rendered and submitted as a PDF doc not a PDF form.

Check out http://www.pdfemail.net/
With PDFEmail.net, you can submit XML, FDF, XFDF, XDP data formats or PDF format.
PDFEmail.net can merge the Data (XML) submission with a blank form using ASP.net, and attaches it to an e-mail message and sends it through SMTP, without client side e-mail software such as OUTLOOK.
PDFEmail.net is installed on a workstation, and generates scripts and libraries you "UPLOAD" to your ASP.net webserver. There is no server-side installation, and zero programming knowledge is required. PDFEmail.net creates the scripts for you, and you just point your submit button action to the URL of the script.
PDFEmail.net uses iTextSharp technologies, and includes 1 year of free technical support.

  • Help inserting a filled out pdf form into a pdf report.

    Why can I not insert a filled out pdf form into my pdf reports?  I am new to Adobe Acrobat X. 

    See what it says under: File > Properties > Description > PDF Producer
    If it's an XFA form, is should say something like "Adobe LiveCycle Designer [version#]"
    You can also open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and enter the following line of code:
    xfa
    and with the cursor on the line, hit Ctrl+Enter, of the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
    If it's an XFA form it will return:
    [object XFAObject]
    Otherwise, it will return "xfa is not defined" and other stuff.

  • Is there a way to save an IRS fill-in PDF form as a Word document?

    I preparing a large number of IRS Form 8282.  I would think that saving the form as a Word document and being able to merge my data would be the most efficient way to prepare these forms.  Is there a way to save the form in Word?

    Other than GetboxMan's suggestion, you'll want to be sure that the IRS will accept a Word document bfore doing the work. My agency collects tax documents and we're very specific about what you send back. It needs to be something that works with our data collection software.
    At any rate, if they DO accept Word documents, you may want to try out the trial version of Acrobat. It has the abiity to save as a Word document (although the success rate can be low). The trial is fully functional and free for 30 days.

  • PDF form  in "extended PDF Reader"

    I create a PDF form and save it as "extended PDF Reader", enabling additional features.
    When I open it with Acrobat Reader, the first time I can save, but when I open it a second time, not to save directly but asks me to save with another name. Can I avoid this "save as", each time it
    opens the document?
    I use Acrobat X.

    I've already extended the rights and made sure to save to activate that... as well as password protected the docs etc... still nothing...
    I am aware that those with Basic Adobe Reader need rights extended to be able to use functions available to Adobe Pro.

  • How do I save edited PDF forms as editable PDF templates?

    We need to download empty pdf forms, add some generic details (eg our company name and address) and then save that as a template so we can then open it and fill out through the year for different clients with their own individual data without having to fill in our own address again.
    Preview cannot do this. On Tiger you can save the edited file, but it prevents it from then being editable again; in Leopard you can fill in the form with your data, save it, then open your saved file and edit it again but none of the data you added the first time has been saved.
    We have to go into Windows and fire up Acrobat Reader 4.0 which has this functionality. All versions of Acrobat above v4 on both Windows and Mac were unable to do this so Preview isn't alone. It is frustrating though as we have to do this all the time - we fill out tax return forms for many different clients each year and really don't want to have to add our data manually each time.
    Any suggestions? Any settings I can tweak anywhere?

    If Preview is not for editing, why has it been made possible with the Leopard release to reorder the pages within a pdf, delete pages, and add completely different pages from other pdfs?
    There's a huge difference between reordering existing pages and altering their content. The PDF specification is quite vast and Apple doesn't even attempt to support much of it because of the work involved.
    The bottom line is that Preview doesn't do what you want it to and that's certainly not going to change anytime within the next year, so it's up to you to decide what to spend your money on. Since it seems that you are using this for business purposes I'd say it's a little silly to gripe about such a trivial investment, but again, it's up to you.
    You could also hire someone to put together your templates for you.

  • How do I convert a pdf form to a word document?

    I have a pdf that has interative form fields included in it, therefore when I try to convert if to a word document the resulting document is blank.
    Any ideas on how to ensure the document is coverted?

    You can try to print and scan the file to pdf (to make it a flat pdf) and convert it to word. However, could you send me your pdf that has interactive form fields to [email protected], so I can investigate?
    Thanks.

  • Gather email from Form to submit PDF attachment.

    Hello all.
    First off, I am a Javascript noob, but am pretty good at figuring things out. This is what I am attempting to do:
    I have several forms that our office uses for tracking mileage, new employee hire stuff, etc. I'm trying to set the office up to use digital signatures, and decrease the amount of paper waste.
    I have the forms created, and at the top have two buttons, print, and Send form. On top the of the Send Form button, I have a text field where I want people to be able to put an email address in, and when they press Submit Form, it will load up their Outlook and already have that email filled in.
    I'd also like the option of using a drop down menu as well on certain forms.
    I am having trouble getting the coding right. Eventually I'd like to be able to determine the subject line and body of the email as well, but at this point I'd settle for getting it to load up outlook with the email that was typed into the form "Destination" or, as on certain forms, whatever value is selected from the drop down menu.
    I can set up a submit button to a pre-determined email easily, but I need something beyond that now.
    Thanks for any and all help!
    Regards,
    Dylan

    I think I figured it out. Here is what I use to pull the email address:
    var mailTo = this.getField("DeliveryCombo").value;
    var subject = "Mileage Report for " + this.getField("EmployeesName").value;
    var msgBody = "Here is my mileage report for you.";
    this.mailDoc();
    If you look at the var subject line, you will see that I have the first part of the subject as static (Mileage Report for ) and then I have it pull the name from the EmployeesName field to complete the rest of the subject.
    When someone clicks send, it generates and email to the email address they typed in or selected from the combo box, puts the subject line as Mileage Report for (name of employee), and generates that short part in the body. Finally, it attaches the PDF in full to the email.
    I hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't and we'll see if we can figure something out.
    Dylan.

  • Export completed PDF Form to New PDF ???

    Hello,
    I have a USPS PDF that is filled out complete with all the needed information such as names, dates, weight, and so on. This is from July 2009, the USPS just came out the exact same form for 2010 and I want to know if there is a way to export the July 2009 form information to the 2010 sheet. They are the same sheet exactly just the date has changed ? I have acrobat 8 Pro.
    Thanks

    For the data, you can also try an export to a data file (FDF typically) from the old form and then import the data to the new form.
    The success would depend on the same field names being used.
    I was going to suggest that too until I looked at the second form. It has no form fields.

  • Email PDF Form and Sign Entire Submission - Can this lock the form and show the signature?

    Thanks to those who explained how to create a button that allows me to email a form as a PDF rather than XML. It helped me a great deal.
    Now I want to cause our time sheet adjustment form to be emailed from the employee to their supervisor, and have the form-data be read-only, and the employee signature to be obvious to the recipient.
    I've tried checking the Sign Submission check box in the Submit tab of the Button Object window, (where the mailto: tag has been entered.
    I clicked the "Settings..." button on the Submit tab and then, under the "Sign Data and Submit Settings" dialog box I selected "Sign Entire Submission". But this does not lock the data and the resulting PDF form once emailed, shows no sign of a signature.
    I also tried adding a signature field, and clicked on it to add a signature. But once the signature was added, the Button was disabled and I could not submit the form via the mailto: tag.
    Is there a way to signa form with a self-signed signature, and email the entire PDF such that the recipient can see the signature, and that the data are no longer editable?
    Wouldn't that just be ducky...?
    Thanks again,
    -David Bartholomew

    Thanks for your comment. I suppose I need to add a context to my intended usage to explain why I want what I described. I want the signature to be apparent so users can see that a submission was signed. These forms that I am considering will replace a paper form used internally within my organization, to request a time card change. They only need to be signed as a pro-forma requirement.
    If the electronic forms solution is approved by management, I will make a case that since the network is a closed intranet, there is little consequential likelihood that a fellow employee would forge another's time card change request. And since the new form would be submitted through email, there is a further validation that the email will identify the sender's email address. This proposed electronic submission method is certainly as valid as forms where users cut and paste an image of their signature in a document...
    The good news is that since I asked this question, I discovered the samples that came with LCD 8...
    An example can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive.
    The interactive Purchase Order sample shows how a collection of fields can be defined and then the signature applied only to the data in the collection. The email button is defined as not included in the collection. This way the signature field can be used, and once the document is signed, the email button remains enabled.
    The interactive purchase order sample also demonstrates how a drop down list can be populated by a JavaScript as well as some array handling syntax that I've been looking for.
    I recommend the samples to anyone who, like me, may not have been aware of their relevance.
    Thanks again, this forum is a great resource.

  • PDF Form to PDF document

    Hello.
    Is it possible to convert a PDF Form to a PDF document?
    I created PDF Form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 and put it on the website so our users can fill in over the Internet.
    Thanks to Ulf I Anderssons sample code, I was able to use ASP.NET page to extract form field values and store them into our SQL database.
    We know how to recreate the PDF Form with the data filled in, but the final product should be a PDF document so all the fields must be non-editable. And we are using Acrobat Professional 8.1.
    I guess we can lock the form fields, but we should be able to programmatically save as a PDF document, right..?

    ExportPDF is not, in my opinion, the least bit suitable for forms. Forms need to stay as PDFs.

  • Printing PDF form with information as PDF document

    I've recently filled out a PDF form application with various information. I went to save this as a PDF file in Adobe Reader for my records but this is not supported. I was only able to print out a hard copy. Is there any other program or routine that supports printing a filled-out PDF form to a PDF file?
    In a Windows environment there were a number of 3rd party programs that could do this. For some reason this option is blocked under OS X native PDF print routine. Thank you for any insights.

    Click "print", and in the confirmation dialogue, select "Print as PDF". This will save what would have been printed as hard-copy as a PDF file.

    You have to use an Adobe product that add extended form rights to the PDF,
    Acorbat 9 Standard + or Acorbat 8 Professional +.

    You need opne of the Acrobat products that GKaiseril mentioned. Once the file is enabled, you can use Reader to fill it out and save it.

  • Is it possible to add files to a PDF form submission?

    Hi there,
    Someone asked me to add an attachment field to a PDF dynamic form. Based on previous research we figured out that will not be possible: our users don't have Acrobat - just Reader - and we won't purchase Reader Extensions. How about using a form field to help the user send the attachments that a are required with that give form? For instance:
    - User would fill in the form and when asked for attachments he/she would browse for the file.
    - The form would save the file name as text on the form (like the answer for a text field)
    - The PDF form would memorize the location of the file(s)
    - When the user hits "Submit" the PDF form would gather the files listed for attachment and add them as attachments - in additon to itself - to the email created by the submission button.
    That way the attachments are not saved as part of the PDF form, but the PDF form is automating the process of adding them to the submission email.
    Is that doable with LiveCycle Designer? Any tips on how to go about coding/building those actions?
    Thanks in advance,
    AV

    If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
    If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
    var myDoc = event.target;
    var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
    myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
    var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile); 
    var sFileName = myDataObject.path; 
    ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile); 
    NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
    you can also remove the file
    myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
    you can also open the file
    myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });
