Export to PDF with editable fields...

Does anyone know if you can export to a PDF and keep editable fields? I have a 10 page form which was created in Pages but now needs to be turned into a PDF users can fill out I was hoping there may be an easy way to do this?

You might take a look at PDFpen, especially the "Pro" version. But I think you might need the full version of Acrobat to create fillable forms.

Bursting PDF with editable fields

I have been successful in generating PDF output from a PDF template that contains editable fields. When I open the PDF using Adobe Professional, everthing functions as normal. However, when I burst the PDFs the final output PDFs are no longer editable. They contain the correct data, but everything is locked down. Has anyone attempted this with success? If so, can you point me to some possible pitfalls? I'd hate to have to run a single request for each output.
Thanks,
Jamie

Very easy to create. I have not been able to get them to burst with editable fields. Please note that it is not editable with Adobe Reader, unless it is first extended with Adobe Professional or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Depending on your config settings you may have to make some changes to allow the fields to remain editable.

2 Classic Reports with edit fields on the same page

Hi All, need your help.
I am trying to have 2 classic reports on one page with edit fields like date, list values, text
I have noticed that the element indexes are the same f01_0001 have both first elements from both reports.
This is making my code go crazy.
Also i have a problem with Date Picker, if i select it as a column type for a first element in second report the icon shows up in the first report.
I think this is because of indexing, but... Classic Date Picker put the icon on second report but when i select the date, the values is populated to first column in first report
Does anyone have a solution for this problem! (for example change the indexing for second report)
DB is 11.2g
Apex is 4.2.0.00.27
Thank you,
Andrei

If so, you can only have one per page

Exporting to pdf with new numbers app

recently i upgraded from numbers 09 to numbers 3.0. i have a worksheet with 2 pages. with numbers 09 when i export to pdf it export as pdf with 2 pages works fine. but in numbers 3.0 when i wxport the same worksheet it combines both pages in one pdf page so i can't print it on 2 pages. any solution ?

Vikas
The solution is to Print to PDF rather than Export to PDF.
You will see that there are two pages in the Print dialog preview, and when you choose PDF, Open in Preview, you will see that the PDF version of the file has two pages.

Generate PDF FORM with editable fields

Hi,
my requirement is to create a document wich has a number of fields which users can fill in. By default, these fields need to be filled in with the data from the database, but editable by the user, the rest of the document has to be non-editable. I'm looking to PDF Forms for this, but am open to other suggestions. I can't get the output to show such fields. Is it even possible?

HI,
I have no clear at all how we define a editable field in the template.
Besides, we need Adobe Writer to see this editable fields from the PDF generated?
Thanks in advance.

Exporting to PDF with Fillable and Savable Fields

Hi,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to export from Crystal Reports to a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user?
I have read up on Visual CUT and it seems like I can do it from there. The problem with Visual CUT is that it offers way more than what I need. I only need the ability to create a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user.

Hi,
In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

Exporting to pdf with textboxes, having RTF enabled

I'm doing a lot of documents with editable text fields, but I can't seem to export to pdf, so that its possible to write in the fields with subscript and superscript in acrobat reader.
I need to export the fields with Rich Text Format enabled. Is that possible?
regards
Christian

Form features in ID are pretty limited and advanced text formatting would need to be added in Acrobat after export, but I'm not sure waht you want to do is supported even there.

Hope this will help you.

ALV grid with editable fields

Dear Colleagues,
I develop an ALV grid with OO standard methods. Before the first display of the table I define the editable fields. It works fine.
I have a problem : if the table is empty and I press the standard icons "Append a line" or "Insert a line", the new line don't have the defined editable characteristics.for fields. Is there a standard method which I have forgotten ?
Thanks a lot and kind regards

Convert text in PDF to editable field in Reader

Hi,
Is there a way in Acrobat Pro to convert text in the PDF to an editable field so that someone opening the PDF in Reader would be able to amend the text. Or do you actually have to make the text in Acrobat?
Thanks for any help,
Jackie

It can probably be achieved with a script, but if you only need to do it once, I think doing it manually is the best way to go.

Smart Forms with editable fields and signature field provided by Webdynpro ABAP

Hi,
i've created an interactive smart form.. Everything fine. The preview of the adobe livecycle designer looks excellent, every field is editable, the signaturefield is signable...
But when i try to test my form using transaction SE80 i'll get a pdf without any signable field, without any editable textfield and so on
I've used the standard printer ZPDF1 for that purpose. (PDF1)
Every value provided by the interface is displayed correctly in the pdf , but no field offers the possibility to change values anymore the pdf looks like a real printed document.
I want to build a webdynpro application where the user gets a pdf in the last step, where he or she is able to edit single values in the prefilled PDF and afterwards to sign this document with his/her digital certificate...
hope you could help me
kind regards
christian

solved by myself.
You have to install and configure the reader rights credentials mentioned in note 736902

Export in PDF with Bookmarks

Hi,
I'd like export my document in PDF. Is pages able to create bookmarks automatically via titles? I don't see anything like this. It's very comfortable to read a PDF with content table.
Thanks for helping.

I created a bookmark to a web page and exported it to a PDF file. It worked just fine. Upon opening the pdf file, I had a clickable link to the web site.
Try this in your pages document.
1. First open the web link and copy the address from your web browser.
2. On a blank line in pages, go to Insert on the menu bar and choose Bookmark.
3. Choose Paste from the edit menu. A bookmark for that web site will be created.
4. Choose Export from file.
5. Choose PDF
Save it!
Hope this is what you had in mind!

To capture the selected rows along with edited field contents in alv report

Dear All,
         I do have requirement where, in alv report output one field is editable and need to save the content of the edited field along with the selected rows.
         For example If there are 10 records displayed in the alv output with 20 fields.
Out of this 20 fields one field (say XYZ) is editable. Also i have already created a new pushbutton (say ABC) on alv output. Now in the alv output if we maintain some value in the field (XYZ ) for the 2nd and 4th record and select this two records, and when clicked on the pushbutton (ABC) it has to update the DB table.
      I am using the Func Module 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
      Your early reply with sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

HI Naveen ,
There is an import parameter "i_callback_program" in the function module,
plz pass the program name to it.
Capture the command by passing a field of type sy-ucomm to "I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND ". Check the returned command and
and program a functionality as desired.
u can try the event double_click or at line selection. there u can use READLINE command to c if the line has been selected.
In case it is , process the code segment.
Regards
Pankaj

Problem while exporting to PDF with japanese character in Crystal Report X1

Hi,
I am using Crystal report X1 with classic ASP on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, SP 2. In my application, I have to export the report into PDF, CSV, DOC formats. I am have Japanese strings in the report. While exporting to PDF, empty boxes has displayed in the place of Japanese string and in CSV file, question mark has been displayed instead of Japanese string. But the Doc file is exported correctly. I have not installed any language support software either in server or in client machine. I have used MS Gothic and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the text-objects which has Japanese strings.
Please give me a solution so that I will get PDF file with Japanese strings instead of empty box or question mark.
Do I need to install any language support pack software?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manju

Hi Don,
Thank You for your reply. I have resolved the issue of exporting to pdf from crystal report X1 having Japanese data after installing the language pack.
But when I am exporting to CSV or TXT, i am getting ??? instead of Japanese characters. I have tried "export" through crystal report designer and got ??? instead of Japanese.
The Crystal report version I am using is Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282
Crystal Report Desinger is installed in Windows Xp machine
Font set for Text object is Arial Unicode MS, MS PMincho, MS PGothic
Does the Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282 has the UTF-8 support for CVS / txt
Please provide me a solution
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Manju
