Embed (merge) PDF Forms

Hi folks,
I'm using LiveCycleDesigner 7.1 on WAS700 ABAP stack.
I'd like to create a bunch of PDF Forms and merge them together into one or more PDF Documents during runtime. These forms are beeing used as a report and are non-interactive.
The reason of this is to dynamically put together different combinations of the same Form parts, without having redundant coding.
Please share your ideas with me.
Cheers
Daniel

Salut François
Thanks for your reply.
My form is very heavy. It contains 15 subforms and there are 7 combinations how they are beeing arranged to one document. I have done this with java-script codings inside the subforms.
If I understand you correctly, there's a way to call different Forms within ABAP and bring them together in one PDF document? Can you please give me an example?
Thanks allot.
Regards,
Daniel

  • Need Merging PDF forms in Android Tablet (with a twist!)

    Hi guys I was wondering if there is anyway to Merge PDF documents in a Android app and keep the repeating information in forms intact. Let me explain. I have a regular form which cilents fill out but some times another form needs to be filled out also which have the repeating fields like name, date of birth, etc. I know that it is possible to do it in in Acrobat X Pro where you combine two PDF documents and as long as the form field is the same name or copied and pasted in the two seperate PDFs , information repeats itself automatically. However I was wondering if there is a way to do this on an android tablet (Motorola Xoom for me). I have tried apps that merge 2 seperate documents however the information from those that would normally repeat in Acrobat X on a regular computer does not do so in PDF merging apps I tried. I normally use qPDF and ezpdfreader but they don't seem to have a merging of two documents option (Or i don't know/can't find one). So any help? Any useful app I don't know about that can some my dilemia? Thanks ahead !

    Hi,
    i know this is rather late, but based on what I've read online, it seems your issue is common among pdf form apps on the Android. From what i hear, qPDF Notes works well, but doesn't allow calculations.  My guess is that the app developer hasn't loaded/programmed the necessary scripts in order to achieve calculations.

  • Host Embed Submit PDF Form Online

    I have been scouring the web and apparently I am either asking for something that cannot be done.. or I am terrible at searching. That being said, I was not sure which forum this would best go under so feel free to redirect me as needed.
    A client gave me a PDF file (Application for Employment) which has been setup with fields and is Reader Enabled. I would like to host it on their website with a link which preferably takes them to the pdf form embedded in their browser. Then they would ideally be able to fill out the PDF form and click a submit button which would then send it to an email address. I would prefer not to do a mailto solution to avoid the users personal email.
    It seems like Adobe eludes to them hosting this functionality, but I can't pin that down. I have also found the website FormRouter which appears to do what we want.. but for a much higher price than we are willing to pay for something that will be accessed once or twice a month.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    On the license, it all depends on the volume that is expected and you should read the EULA for clarification. Better safe than sorry.
    If they sent you the form and it is already set for submission (that would be a property of the submit button and depends on if the form is an Acrobat form -- tools menu -- or a Designer form -- forms menu), then all you would need to do is put a standard link into the web site. The form would open in Reader or Acrobat and the client would proceed. The details of the process all depend on what your customer has asked you to do. If it is a submission process, then you would need to modify the PDF.
    In any case, even with the PDF embedded (for browsers where possible), the file is basically opening in Reader, Acrobat, or the browser plugin that is loaded by these -- basically opening the PDF in an Adobe product, not really in the browser as such. The actions are then whatever that viewing product is capable of.
    My comments were to flag a warning of the process, the potential use of data submission (not requiring enabling the Reader), and the pitfalls of e-mail submission. The latter should really be left to submissions within a controlled environment where you can control the setup of the client e-mail system. In the past MAPI has been required on the user system. Apparently an additional process has been added with AA9, but is subject to lots of problems. There are apparently problems on MACs also, and I don't even know what those are. The only "sure" submission is to a web script. Unfortunately, Adobe has suggested the e-mail (mailto:) submission since AA7, without clarifying the pitfalls. Folks write a form and then have problems, coming here for us to explain what the problem was and the e-mail submission is not recommended for general use. Actually, mailto submission of forms in HTML is subject to a lot of problems also and is generally not recommended in the HTML community for the same reason -- browser problems or variations. I am just providing a warning, the choice is yours. It might work most of the time. When it does not, how much do you expect the customer to come back and blame it all on you!

  • Merge pdf form data to an ASP page via HTTP

    I am using Adobe LiveCycle.
    Using LiveCycle has anyone been able to collect data from a PDF form posted on their web page, submit via submit button, that data to an ASP page and use the ASP page to do record manipulation.
    I have successfully created a PDF page and collected the data with JavaScript and updated the database. I'm looking for an alternative solution.

    Hi Robert,
    I am trying to design form to interact with an ODBC.
    Do you have any working example that uses following methods?
    xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection1.addNew();
    xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection1.update();
    xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection1.delete();

  • PDF form embed

    I am trying to embed my PDF form on my website. There is no embed option available and when I try to test the form I get this error... "The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled." Any help would be appreciated!

    Yes, adding a link that users can download the PDF should be easy enough.  I found this answer on Wordpress:  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-put-a-pdf-file-on-my-website-for-visitor-downloa d  Hopefully that is useful.

  • Submit PDF form data to URL without submit button

    Our client use LiveCycle Designer to design PDF forms. We've an ASP.Net Web form application, where they want us to embed the PDF form as part of our Data Entry Form. The Entry form has a Save button. And we want to save all the entry form entries (including the PDF form) in the Save button click.
    The client PC will have adobe reader installed, so I guess we can embed the PDF form easily. I know PDF form can have Submit button and can submit data (XML) to a URL. But client does not want to place a separate Submit button in the PDF as the entry form has a "Save" button.
    Do you have any suggestion? If I'm posting in wrong place or an already answered question I apologize earnestly and please guide me.

    Check out the following:

    You can download the open source edition for free:

    Or search for itextsharp on your favorite search engine
    Note: If you are able to use Static XFA forms or Acrobat PDFs you are able to parse and merge the submissions. If you are saving "Save As" a dynamic XFA PDF in LiveCycle, then your options are limited.

  • How to merge pdf in db, with data in db and serve as PDF doc to browser

    Hi,
    I have a requirement as:
    On an ebusiness suite webpage user clicks on a hyperlink.
    This downloads a merged pdf form, as:
    a. Retrieve pdf document from fnd_lobs
    b. Retrieve the data to be merged from a database table in the format merge_field_name, merge_field_value
    c. Merge the data and the pdf on the fly.
    d. Return the merge pdf file to the webbowser
    I have never used XML etc, and browsing metalink etc, it seems the using XML Publisher may be the best way to go.
    So, I would appreciate it if I could have the following answers:
    1. Is XML publisher the correct tool to use for this, or is their another technology that may be better suited.
    2. As we have a number of ebusiness suite applications licensed, would we need to buy an additional license for XML publisher.
    3. If I am on the right track, then any pointers on how to start.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mark

    Hi Mark
    1. XMLP will do this for you with a little code.
    2. As long as the data for the documents came from the delivered EBS schema (incl flexfields) i.e. not from a custom table. Then you are within the EBS license terms and there would be no extra kicense to purchase.
    3.
    a. You will need to extract the PDF from fnd_lobs as a PDF document and out it somewhere temporarily.
    b. Write the extract and template to format the data into PDF ... this is basic XMLP suff covered in the user guide and the XMLP pages on OTN.
    c. You now have your fnd_lobs PDF and the generated one, you can now combine them into a single document using an API. The PDF bookbinder API is the most poweful but there are others available too ... check the user guide for PDFBookBinder and FormProcessor.
    d. then you'll need to either stream the resulting PDF to browser yourself or you can use the XMLP OA Framework common region and embed it inside a page.

  • How do I put a PDF form onto my website?

    New to Acrobat. Just bought 8 Pro for Mac version. How do I embed a PDF form onto my website?
    Also, if the process to do this is hard, would upgrading to version 9 make it any easier? Thanks.

    It depends on how the user's system is set up. Normally, the PDF will open in the browser, not just downloaded.
    It is possible to embed a PDF in an HTML page, for example: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag_to_di.html
    But note that not all users will have a PDF viewer installed, and not all PDF viewers are produced by Adobe, so this will not work for everyone. The above link cause my Firefox browser to crash, but it works with my Internet Explorer browser.

  • Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

    Hi All,
    The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
    will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
    have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
    Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
    Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
    pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
    quarter.
    The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
    as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
    data goes back into database.
    Here is the issue:
    Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
    cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
    signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
    fly?
    <cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
    included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
    variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
    and various other combinations.
    (If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
    <cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
    <cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
    done with it. But, we can't.)
    <cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
    PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
    no form data.
    I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
    regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
    prohibit what we want to do.
    If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
    any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
    say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
    November.
    Thanks!

    As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
    flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
    Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

  • No options under the distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form

    I Have a paid basic account is not giving me the option to under the  distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form? Simply put it doesn't show up for an option. I want to embed the form into my website but the embed feature is not showing up? Please help I have been at this all day.

    Based on your answer above, it sounds like you uploaded the file to your website, as opposed to the function being available from formscentral.
    If you have downloaded the file from Acrobat Pro then uploaded it to a website and had the upload pinned to a download button, then that is going to be a function of your website. Your workaround has nothing to do with formscentral itself.
    You essentially uploaded the file to your website, then made it a downloadable file. The reason it is opening in your browser is because you have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in for your browser. It's not actually "embedded". If you uninstalled all of your adobe plug-ins, then it would open Reader or Acrobat, not in the browser. The reason it only opens in Safari is likely due to the fact that you only have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in enabled for Safari, and it is disabled for the other browsers.
    I hope this makes sense!

  • Merging pdfs with ability to edit a form

    When I merge two pdfs in Acrobat 8 then reopen them in Reader (which is the only software my client has to view/edit pdfs) I can no longer save the data typed into the forms--I can print the document as is with the information, but the pdf form needs to be filled out by a couple people. Does anyone know of a way I can merge two pdfs and still retain the ability to edit the form?

    Can't save edits. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back in to enable reader rights (it's a client who would actually have to do it), but that's okay. Thanks for your help.

  • Need to know how to merge interactive form with text page pdf

    I have an interactive pdf form, I need to merge this with another pdf page which is not a form. Kindly advice how I can do so using Adobe livecycle or acrobat pro X.
    Regards,
    Pooja

    Hi Pooja,
    How is your Interactive PDF form is created(LC Designer or Acrobat X). If you used LC Designer then you cannot merge the page, the only option is to create a new page in designer and copy and paste the content.
    If you used acrobat to create the Form then you easily merge the PDFs using combine feature in Acrobat.( File> Create> Combine files)
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

    Won't work with files created in Designer. You'll just get the same error as the OP.
    A PDF package is the only option available for Designer forms.
    (although you WILL get that option after you let "create from multiple documents" fail.)

    Hi Roy,
    You can find WdAdobeControl.dll file from the location:
    C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.ide.webdynpro.adobetemplatedesigner\lib
    This is required at client side only for designing of the PDF forms using Adobe Designer.
    Use following command in Command prompt to register it.
    first of all goto the folder in which this file resides in command prompt and then use following command:
    regsvr32 WdAdobeControl.dll
    It will register this dll.
