Fill in pdf form fields from html form

hi
i went to this site http://accesspdf.com/html_pdf_form/
and saw that it worked great
so i downloaded their code, and uploaded it to my site (php friendly) and it gives me an error that the pdf file is corrupted
http://inovasphere.com/pdf/pdf_form_interface.php
can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? i made no changes to their code, just uploaded as is
OR
if there is another way to do this i am all ears. i want to user to fill in some fields online and then they click enter and then the fields of
a pdf file in the same directory get filled in, and it is then delivered to the user, and the fdf file is emailed out to the site owner
thanks!

i stared at that page for what seemed like an eternity before i even posted here and they dont say how to install pdftk on my godaddy server that hosts my site
is that what i am supposed to do? seems like a massive hassle. i have installed it on my PC and i use it with the DOS prompt, but there is a complete disconnect from what i do with the pdf file (dump_fields) and when i upload it to my site.
i still get 'wrong format' 'corrupted file' error
so unfortunately the site u are referring me back to doesnt tell the reader how to get the thing to work on their own site, which is why i posted here in the first place, hoping somebody would know. :)
thanks for the reply tho ....

Help... Populate pdf form fields with html form inputs.

I have a website that allows users to choose the pdf document they want and create. After selecting which pdf they want to create they are redirected to a web page with a html form. The html form has questions that corresponds with the the form fields of the pdf document the user selected. When submitted the code (ASP, PHP whatever is the easier) runs a script that populates the pdf document form fields. The user is then prompted if they want to save or open the document. The newly created pdfs and the user inputs do not need to be saved on the server.
I create the pdf templates using PDF 6.0 professional
Server can be windows or linux
I understand ASP a little but will use whatever is feasible
Purchasing a program is okay as long as its reasonable and is changeable by me and I have full control.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
John

Protect Form Fields from "Clear Form"

I've created PDF Form with various fields, and created button to make readonly for all the Field data. This PDF Form will be used by 3 persons in different section. How to protect all filled text fields from "Clear Form" function in Form Tool.
Once the Form fields are filled by 1 person, the other person can not use the "Clear Form" function to clear all filled fields. Please guide to to protect filled text,checklist fields from "Clear Form".

If one flattens the form fields then they become context and are no longer form fields. It is possible to selectively flatten PDF content like annotations, form fields, page ranges, and by the "print/no print" property for Acrobat versions 6 or above.
The flattenPages is not available to Reader.
PDFScripting.com has a tool bar button that can perform selective flattening.

Buliding a SELECT in PSP using fields from html form

Hi everyone, first of all forgive me my poor english.
I'm making "CV Base" in PSP as a school project. And I've got a search html form like this (simple version):
select list: Profession
text field: Age
And my question is... How to build a select in psp which will parse only given parameters? For example. I'm looking for C Programmer in any age so i select C Pogrammer from the list and leave afe field blank. So the SELECT should be sth like this: select * from Person where Profession like 'C Programmer'; But in another search i need a programmer who is 25 years old... So select has one more WHERE... I'm sure You all know what I mean
Please help me.

Is there a sensible way to import form fields from an old pdf into a new pdf?

I'm working with Acrobat X Pro on a Windows PC platform. I've been working with a file that was originally created in CorelDraw X3, in landscape orientation. That document was then saved as a pdf and set up with many form fields (it's an order form). The document needed to be updated with minor changes made in the Corel file. I resaved as a pdf and now want to transfer the existing form fields from the old document into the newly revised one. I've tried copy/paste, but have to do small sections at a time because the program doesn't let me bring in all of the fields at the same time. I then tried Document > Replace page, which I've seen described in other forum posts; but when I do that, the entire set of fields comes in rotated at 90 degrees counterclockwise. I did read that if the original document was created in a different orientation, that could affect how the fields paste in, but that is not the case here. The original file, and all successive pdf files all have been the same orientation. I'm boggled and think that there has to be an easier way than copying fields, a section at a time, and resizing them all over again.
This older post is pretty similar to what I am trying to do, but it seems I'm getting a different end result. Any suggestions?
Create fillable form with changing source document

I am using Acrobat Pro 10. I have the same problem and finally after numerous different attempts of solving based on all the suggestions, I resolved my problem by Printing to PDF via the print dialog in Word. When I pasted the fields that were previously rotating onto the new "printed" PDf, the fields retained their orientation as desired.
To clarify, I am using Word 2007, Acrobat Pro 10, the document is landscape, both the original (with fields) PDF and all attempted new PDF's were of the diemnsions 11 x 8.5. The only noticeable difference in the PDF properties for the PDF's were Tagged PDF and Fast Web View. The original PDF (with fields) was No in both cases and all attempts other than the Print to PDF were Yes, meaning that the Print to PDF was No. I am not sure if this made the Print to PDF work or not as I have already spent too much time trying to resolves this issue. Hope this helps.

Duplicating form fields from one PDF document to another

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to select and duplicate all acrobat form fields from one PDF document into a new PDF document. I know I can do so one field at a time but would like to know if there is a way to do so in a wholesale fashion.
Our PDF documents are created in-house each year and are nearly the same as the previous year's document containing 99% of the same form fields in the same locations. These forms contain a lot of form fields, anywhere from 50 to 100 fields.
Rather than start from scratch each year defining the same fields that were present in the previous year's document, I am looking for a way to copy the form fields from an existing PDF document (last year's PDF in our case) and copy the form fields into a new PDF document (that does not yet have any form fields defined) and hopefully maintain all the field attributes and positions from the previous years document.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Steve

The PDF template we need to copy the form fields "to" doesn't start out having any form fields. It is the fields that we need copied from a previous year's PDF template.
Here's an except from my original post: "I am looking for a way to copy the form fields from an existing PDF document (last year's PDF in our case) and copy the form fields into a new PDF document (that does not yet have any form fields defined)"
The "new" PDF template is a complete "paper" form with updated legal text and calendar year referrences but NO form fields. In our IS group, we then take these forms, add form fields to them and are then able to populate them with database-resident user data. We serve them up to the user in their browser pre-populated with their application data.
So again, our need is to find a way to copy form fields from "last year's" PDF template and copy just the form fields to an fresh "new year's" PDF template that contains no form fields to begin with. What we begin with is just a PDF representation of a paper student loan application.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Extracting all form fields from a fillable pdf

Is there any way of extracting/exporting/copying all form fields from a pdf? Meaning, the wordings from all the fields so I can pass it along to another individual to use for cross referencing, since they are not able to see all the various form fields within the split screen?
Thanks!!!

The person that needs this is looking for the entire running list of all the fillable field names within the pdf. Any kind of document that I can deliver them in, I am willing to take suggestions.
Right now, what I was thinking of doing was having the screen split between the pdf and the listing of field names in the sidebar and taking screen captures as I scroll down the pdf and corresponding field names in the sidebar until I got all pages.
Is there an email address I could contact you at to discuss offline? I have an example I could send you but don't want posted online.
Thanks!

Auto-Detect Form Fields from Word 2007

LiveCycle 8.x fails to detect form fields from form documents I've created in Word 2007. I also notice that Word 2007 documents saved as Word 2003 documents do not convert the text fields either (text fields static).
Is LiveCycle 8.x compatible with Office 2007 or does it depend on the conversion from 2007 (.docx format) to 2003 (.doc format) before creating the PDF then detecting and placing the fields?

I could tell it not to run in Acrobat 9 but can’t figure out how to do that in version 11. When I use the Create Form command, I get a series of windows that guide me through the process of creating the form. Unlike Acrobat 9, none of those windows includes an option for not running auto detect. At the end of the process, the form is created with fields. The only solution seems to be to let Acrobat create the fields, and then delete them all and manually create the fields I want. Thanks for your feedback.

catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
System.exit(1);
pane.setEditable(false);
// Add a hyperlink listener.
final JEditorPane finalPane = pane;
pane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent ev) {
try {

HOW to copy Form field from one RTF to another RTF

Hi Expert
I have developed 20 reports in BI Publisher which is using xml as data source. So to access the data i have done the xml coding for each form field.
Now i want to copy the form field from one rtf to another, while doing the copy paste of the form field from one rtf to another it is not copying the xml coding. It is appearing in the new rtf as below
<?ref:xdo0391?>
Can you guys suggest me how to achieve the same. Is there any setting need to be changed so that while do the copy paste the form field it will copy the backend code also.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Srikant

make your template set as backward compatabile before you do anything on template. load the xml and then copy the form field. it should work. dont try to open the field without loading xml.

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.
In Canada we have to taxes
I create a form that calculate them to a total
I need to be able to turn off any of those to taxes to participate to the calculation and their visibile field should become 0
I was thinking using a checkbox (when checkbox is on (Yes) the tax is calculated, Not ticked (Off) the tax is not calculated and the visible field should show 0 or nothing....
I really need help on this one — I’m a complete newbie....
Remark that the second tax is calculated on the sum of what the first tax add (first tax is pan-canadian tax (all provinces).
The second tax is never use alone (Quebec only (on top of the Canadian one)
Sometime for outside Canada sell - No tax at all is calculated....
What should I do?

I want to tank you to help, really appreciate —>
This is the code and order... I just trow the checkbox in there (they have, so far, no purpose...)
The code use is
var a = this.getField("pricehorstx");
event.value = Math.round (a.value * 7.25) / 100
I guess -If the checkBox are check - The tax should be calculate — If “Off” the tax should be not calculated and PriceHST and /or PriceQST should show zero or be empty — The HST is always calculated in Canada, but the QST is added only in Quebec.
I need to turn both to Zero for international sale.

URGENT HELP: When some users submit, application carries empty fields from html components to plsql code

Hi APEX users and developer, especially forum's active users, please get me rid of this problem because it is really very bad situation.
I have a real trouble with application. It behaves unusual. Application is used by 60 users but only 3 of them have these problem and they can not use the application anymore.
Application is
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=70547
After fields are filled and some rows checked from tabular form in page, user submits the page. Process called newReyestr calls plsql procedure from package with inputs from page. But only same 3 users get empty fields in plsql code. I see it just after when the first line stepped in procedure.
So, "what is the problem?"

Hi NoGot,
you know, I have not written big quote. The code was big. But it has no any meaning. Because problem is in first line. No need to understand it.
There is no any difference between those users. They also tried it from different browser and even computers.
BTW: I am not russian.

Hi,
How to Map Proces form field with Resource form field while creating Process form in Form designer

Are you talking about Provisioning ?
then you do that in Data Flow under Process Defintion in OIM 10g
In OIM 11g you use Request Dataset. In that you can directly map fields to process form.
