Embed interactive PDF in iWeb?

Good afternoon,
I'd like to know if there is a way for patients to enter their information directly into our website and then that info is captured and forwarded to me somehow. Currently patients download an information packet as a pdf file, print and fill out the forms.
I greatly appreciate any help!

Use a google form . You can design it like you want. Customize it to match the feel of your site, have the results loaded into a spreadsheet (csv import into excel) and notify you when it has been changed. All with the use of an HTML snippett and a Google form. Plus it is easy to do. Drop down menus, lists, and checkboxes available. We have a simple form to use as a contact form on our site as well as a more indepth form once we have made initial contact on a private part of the site. No need for professional service if you just want to follow a pretty simple tutorial. Check out our contact sheet then go to the site where we learned how easy it was to set it up.

  • Will iWeb support interactive PDF forms?

    I need to put interactive PDF forms on my web site. Does anyone know if this can be done on iWeb and if so how?

    All you do is have the pdf on your desktop and make a link from iWeb to the file - so on the page you want it in iWeb, type in some text and then Hyperlink your text from the Inspector and Hyperlink to a file - find that file on your desktop and that will be hyperlinked.
    When you publish all hyperlinked files are uploaded too. When someone clicks on the link the pdf document will open up in pdf reader if they have it and they can then do whatever they wish.

  • Document viewer in interactive PDF?

    I am making an interactive PDF portfolio in Indesign CS6, and I want to provide writing samples. I wanted to know if there is a pdf viewer that I could place in my PDF portfolio and have it appear when I press a button. Any help?

    When you send a PDF, there is no way to "embed" a PDF viewer. How it will appear depends somewhat on the PDF reader installed by the person who views the document. If you keep things simple (limited interactivity), you should be fine.

  • Playing video in Interactive PDFs

    When I embed a video (.mp4, .flv, etc) and export to an interactive PDF in Indesign, I keep getting asked to download the newest version of Flash player (which I already did) and the video won't play. Any suggestions?

    Are you playing the video in Acrobat? If so, I'd ask in the Acrobat forums. It's not really an InDesign issue.

  • Video disappears when exporting to Interactive pdf

    Hi,
    I have just started using InDesign yesterday and am trying to put together an interactive pdf. It is essentially a pdf catalogue with several clients on it. I have carried out all the hyperlinking, but now I want to embed a video into the pdf. I do so by importing a video file and configuring it with the interactive media box. Every time I export he pdf however, the video is completely missing.
    I have tried to convert it with Media Encoder to flash, mp4, avi, h.264 etc. I'm not really sure how I can fix it so that it remains an interactive element in a pdf. I have been playing around with the Adobe pdf presets and still nothing.
    Could somebody please help me? Complete noob here
    Cheers

    You mentioned you have played with PDF presets? Are you sure you have exported Interactive PDF not Adobe PDF (Print)? Those are two different formats in InDesign´s Export File format list... videos are not supported in PDF for print format. And PDF presets works only with PDF for Print, not with Interactive PDF format.
    If you are using proper Interactive PDF format, make sure you have checked (Forms and) Media;  Include All option in export window.

  • Is it possible to place a video into a circle frame for export as interactive PDF?

    I've been trying to figure out how to embed video files into a circle shape frame for export as interactive pdf. Every time I export the document as interactive PDF, the video frame reverts back to a rectangle shape. Basically what I'm attempting to do is embed a .gif like animation of a face (saved as mp4 because it's my understanding that PDF can't support gif files) in a circle frame that plays on document load when exported as interactive pdf. Any suggestions, bypasses, solutions would be much appreciated. 

    Correct! Good solution!
    But you missed a couple steps in your directions:
    (1) Make a rectangle filled with Paper color.
    (2) Make a circle filled with None (this will be the mask for the movie).
    (3) Move the circle over the rectangle. Select both and choose Object > Path > Make Compound Path. This creates a paper-color rectangle with a hole.
    (4) Position the rectangle-with-hole object over the movie to position the mask.
    (5) Use the Buttons and Forms panel to make that object into a button. Give it an action of playing the movie.
    (6) Choose File > Export > PDF (Interactive).
    It works because the button (which has interactivity) is atop another object which has interactivity (the movie).
    Brilliant!

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance
    Paul

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • Interactive PDF in InDesign

    I create an interactive PDF in Indesign and when I export it as an Interactive PDF some of the text is missing in the PDF file. I changed the font to something universal like Times to see if it was a font issue, but the font still does not appear in the exported PDF. 
    How do I fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    ~V

    I am having one of the issues mentioned. I have made two buttons. On mouse down they should open PDFs. When I export to PDF I make sure that I have 'Interactive Elements' ticked and Multimedia set to 'Embed All'. I would assume this should embed the two PDFs that are connected to the two buttons but it does not.
    How do I embed the PDFs in the final PDF? I am using CS2.
    Cheers.

  • ID CC 9.2.1: Interactive PDF, text boxes use wrong font

    When filling out text boxes of an interactive PDF (created with InDesign CC 9.2.1) in Adobe Reader X, the font used is always Times Roman or such. Whatever I've tried so far, I fail to make the interactive text boxes use a specific font. Should be the same font that's used for the rest of the text on the page. During exporting the PDF, I've instructed InDesign to embed all font glyphs.
    Is there a way to get around this problem?
    Andreas

    You have to work on it after exporting to PDF in Acrobat Pro and change the font there.
    BUT: Don't choose exotiv fonts, use the normal standard form fonts, otherwise the file size will increase, because every font in the form must be embedded. Another problem is that older versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or some other possible PDF readers only support the standard form fonts, like Helvetica, Times, Courier in Bold, Regular, Italic, and Bold Italic. So it is better to submit to this limitations.

  • Sending Interactive PDF through mail - as INLINE item

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement, wherein I have to send an Interactive PDF form through mail, as INLINE (i.e. displayed in the body of the message item),and not as ATTACHMENT.
    i.e. The Interactive PDF content should be seen in the body page of the mail itself.
    I have to send the PDF from a java application. I was able to do it with an image(as INLINE) using the HTML tag <img>.
    For PDF, I tried using the HTML tags <iframe> and <embed>. i even tried javascript embeded within HTML code. But no use.
    IMPORTANT : Please note that, it is an Interactive PDF form, there will be editable Input fields in the PDF file.
    Any one please help me to solve this....
    Thanks,
    Prabhakar.

    You can set the main content of your message to be the PDF content with MIME
    type application/pdf, but I doubt that you can convince most mailers to display this
    content as you intend. As far as I know, this is not a commonly supported feature.
    If you can use some other program to create a message that displays the way you
    want, you can copy the structure of that message with your JavaMail program.

  • How to export interactive PDF to web

    I used InDesign 5 to create an interactive document...I saved it as an interactive PDF.  I opened it on my computer...looks great, works great.  But I cannot figure out how to upload the doc as to the web and preserve the interactive capabilities.  I have uploaded it to ISSUU, Goggle Docs, and my wordpress website.  The result is just a read only PDF - no interactive elements.  Can anyone help me? 

    Any service which converts the PDF into another format (Issuu, Google Docs, etc) will remove the interactivity. You should simply transfer the PDF to your website as a regular file, and either link to it or use an HTML <embed> code to display it. Linking is better as it will avoid error messages for people who don't have a PDF reading application installed.

  • How to Add Media to a Custom Frame That Preserves to Interactive PDF

    What I'm doing/trying to do:
    I have a custom object that I want to use as a frame in which the video would be placed. The object is a somewhat rectangular frame that I've custom made to fit over a portion of my background image.
    Adobe InDesign interactive pdf exports don't play any html embed codings I add (even after making sure the http:// is present) nor does the InDesign accept any of the video from URL links I put in from YouTube or Vimeo using the Add Media function. Therefore I tried using the actual media file and uploading it to my Adobe Indesign file. However, the video won't play or appear in my custom frame when I export it, but the video file will play when I plop it in without a frame. Before exporting I get the message: :
    So:
    A) What urls will Adobe Indesign ACTUALLY accept since all the ones I've used so far don't work?
    B) How do I add a video file to a custom frame that fits appropriately into the frame?
    C) How do I get URL based media to work in interactive pdfs?
    D) If I can't do what I'm trying to do as an interactive pdf what file should I be saving it as so that I can make it work?
    I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

    I have never yet heard of anyone who has successfully played a YouTube or Vimeo streaming video from an interactive PDF. You could search for some kind of a third party utility that claims to convert that to a video format. You should aim to create an MP4 file, preferably with H.264 encoding. I've also never read the description of someone who has done such a conversion, though it is theoretically possible.
    You will be unsuccessful in masking a video to play in a non-rectangular frame because in a PDF, the interactivity also is display above anything else on the page.

  • Animated Text In Interactive PDF, also question about SWF distribution

    Hello Forum.......first post, so hi to everyone
    I have created a indesign cs5 document that has some animated text flying in from the left upon mouse clicking, if i export it to a SWF it works fine but if i export it to an interactive PDF the text is already in place. Is it possible to have animated text in an interactive pdf?
    Another question I have is regarding swf files, i need to create some presentations for our sales guys to run on their lap tops while out at clients, when i export it you get the resources file and the swf file....rather than just dropping these into a folder on their laptop is there a slicker way to package it in some kind of projector file.
    It would also be nice if in the future I could put the presentation onto a CD and have it auto launch the presentation.
    If anyone could give me some basic pointers it would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, George.
    Thank you for your help and reply.
    It seems that the Lightbox effect may be complicated to achieve with Acrobat in a relatively simple way. Is it possible to accomplish a similar effect using InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 ? I would like to click on certain elements of my PDF document (images or text) and have a window of a pre-specified size (approximately 800 wide x 600 high) open in the center of the screen.
    Can I do this in InDesign ?
    One other things I noticed is the ability to embed html code in Acrobat. Can this be used to accomplish this effect ? Can a window be opened in the center of the screen triggered by a button in a PDF file so that this window functions as a browser and displays another document downloaded from web address (file located on a server) ?
    Thank you again,
    Joe.

  • HTML in Interactive PDF

    I'm using InDesign CS6. I have HTML code that displays a Search Box. How can I embed this code into an Interactive PDF?
    Would it be the same process as creating a button? I don't see anywhere to insert code.
    My plan is for users to be able to search a multi-page PDF document without having to bring up the search box using the browser or Acrobat. The Search Box would always be visible somewhere on the PDF document. - either at the top or bottom of the page.
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm not familiar with the DPS or EPUB3 workflows, but will start researching them.
    One question though: Will either of those workflows support desktops or just mobile devices?
    My Agency creates massive directory publications that are published in print and also in PDF form on our website. I'm thinking that most of the users who access these directories would be from desktop office computers.
    Thanks for your help.
