Emailing a fillable form in PDF format

Hi,
I need to create a PDF fillable form that will send a filled pdf
version to an email on submit.
The ones we have tried so far send an xml version of the form instead
of the filled pdf version.
Also, is it possible to leave the email recipient empty to allow the
form to be sent to different people each time it's filled?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional CS3.
Thank you in advance,
FayeC

The answer to my dilemna may be somewhere in the posts I've read; however, so far I have not had luck finding it! PLEASE HELP - Prior to receiving an upgrade to my Adobe Professional 8, I was able to create a form from a WORD or PDF document, "Save As," send the form to a user. The user could then complete the form online, and "Save As," and all the filled in content would remain in the document. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to figure out how to make this happen. The document will work for me; however, the users can fill in the form, but it will not let them save it after it is complete. A good portion of our teams work relies on us being able to provide these types of documents for our customers. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! or WHY CAN'T I GET THIS TO WORK?!
I am very frustrated, and the Help function in Adobe is not helping!
Thanks...PJ BRAY

    hi,
    smart form to pdf--
    All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
    DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
    p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
    p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
    p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform

    output_options = p_output_options
    control_parameters = p_control_parameters
    IMPORTING
    job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
    call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
    tables
    otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata

  • User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

    Hello,
    I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
    Thanks

    No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

  • 1099 Form in pdf format

    All,
    We have a requirement to have 1099 form in pdf format to send the form via email to the vendors as well as we should be able to print to mail to the vendors.  I believe this will be part of form design and send an email as attachment would be a batch job to kick off. Would this be correct?
    Regards,
    Sri

    Hi,
    You would maybe need one program.  Process would be; standard form output spool is saved by user; then a periodic program execution can be scheduled which picks up these specific spools converts to PDF and mails them to the vendor. This program can also be triggered immediatly after execution of the earlier output or it could even be user initiated.

  • Is it possible to generate oracle forms in pdf format

    I have to generate a form in pdf format. Is it possible.
    If yes, how to achieve this.
    Thank you very much.
    Navya.

    One round about way to get a pdf screen shot is tick 'print to file' and use a printer which is set up with a postcript driver. This gives a postscript file which can be converted to pdf using 'ghostscript and gsview' (available free from gnu via various sites).

  • Display W2 form in PDF format in ESS

    I am trying to develop a WebDynpro ABAP application to display W2 Form in the Portal 7.0 ESS. I have designed a view with an Adobe Form element to hold the W2 form, and looking for any ideas about getting W2 form in PDF format from the ECC 6.0 system by providing parameters like EE number, Tax Company, and year.
    I know that the tcode PU19 can be used for getting W2 in PDF format, but it involves too many steps to generate and view the W2 in PDF format. I am not sure what kind of coding (e.g. classes, methods, logic to retrieve W2) will I need to do in the Web Dynpro application to retrieve W2 in PDF format from the ECC system.
    I will appreciate and reward any useful answers or pointers.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Saurabh,
    Have you found a way to produce the W2s without using tcode PU19.  I am looking at doing W2s in ESS for our company and am interested in anything you have done on this.
    Thanks,

  • I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button

    Hi all,
    I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
    When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
    I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
    The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
    The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
    We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
    Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!
    Rob

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • Inserting Fillable forms into PDFs converted from word

    I need some help with inserting a fillable form I created in Live Cycle.  When I go to insert the form into a file that was originally created in word and saved as a PDF,I receive a message (see below)
    I need to be able to find a way to insert the fillable form to the end of a regular PDF, without losing the capabilities of the form, including a submit by email button, which I tried both as the Email submit button and the regular button, formatted to submit a email in response.
    I don't know if there is some settings or preferences that I can change to be able to insert the form, but I need it to be one document.I know that this is not impossible, as I have seen other documents in this formatting, I just cant seem to be able to get it.

  • Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

    Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.
    T.J.

    Hello,
    According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
    variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
    Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
    Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
    regards Dennis:
    Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
    Thanks again for your help!
    T.J.

  • Print, Save form in PDF Format from SAP

    Hi,
    The business users would like the ability to save, print a form, i.e. a Contract (VA42/43) in a PDF format.  My understanding is, this feature/option is should be available through Goto menu through a feature/option PDF Display which opens the form in a PDF Viewer that allows the user to Print and Save the form in a PDF Format. 
    My question is what is required in SAP to make this feature/option available to an end user, is it a security role, a user parameter, a trigger of a function module...etc.....any help on this would be much appreciated
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hello Sean,
    you can define local printer as PDF printer (e.g FREEPDF) and print your PDF forms to that printer.
    To be able to generate a form, you can create new printer:
    name: locl_pdf
    device type: PDF1
    Host spool access method: G - front end printing
    This locl_pdf printer will generate a pdf and send to your local printer which is setup for PDF saving.
    Hope it helps,
    Evgenij
