Fillable forms on non-networked android tablets

I want to use fillable, pdf forms on our Android tablets to record practical test results for our students. These forms are filled out by instructors for each individual student. At the end of the day, the forms are to be downloaded to a stand alone PC for grading and further review.
How can I save each individual test form as a separate file on the Android tablets. I have searched for a solution but have found nothing but a kludgy workaround. The tablets and grading PC are not networked which further compounds the issue...
The ultimate goal is to allow an instructor to grade a student, save the grade sheet (form) as "studentname.pdf" then move on to grading the next student "studentname2.pdf". At the end of the day he would download (via usb) upwards to 5 grade sheets to our grading PC for further review.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks for any help!
BTW, is there a reason "save as" is not a feature in the Android acrobat reader?

Hi,
Unfortunately, the 'Save as' functionality is not available for Adobe Reader on Android. As a workaround, you can make multiple copies(duplicates) of the pdf form with different names (like studentname.pdf) and then fill out the forms individually. Please let us know if this is not a viable solution for you.
Thanks,

Support for dynamic forms using javascript for android tablet

I have some complex multipage pdf forms with javascript functions and calculations made in Acrobat X Standard, I can open and use parts of the form in ezyPDF android app, however the javascript is not fully supported, does anyone know of any plug ins or work arounds to view my forms on an android tablet, my forma have to be stand alone as internet access is not always available.
Regards Mike

Get to know CF's structure / array notation. This comes in
very handy when dealing with queries and form fields.
- Form.myFieldName can also be referenced by
Form["myFieldName"]
- MyQuery.myField can also be referenced by
MyQuery["myField"][rowNumber]
Anything in the above example surrounded by quotation makes
can be made dynamic by just adding in a cf variable surrounded by
pound signs:
get_dealer_completion["level_#level_id#"][1]

Mobile form not calculating on Android Tablet

I have a Time Sheet with Javascript that adds the times up, and it works perfect with the PC version of Adobe Reader, but when I try to use it on a nexus 7 tablet the calculations don't work.
I have tried the official Adobe Reader for Android as well as about a dozen other readers. If there is a reader that will work with this sheet as is, I don't mind paying for it, or perhaps part of my JavaScript is not supported on mobile, and I can change it with a workaround.
Please Take a look and see what you can see:
PR_Form_Tablet6.pdf - Google Drive
I have 2 Functions in here:
TimeDiff Function:
function TimeDiff(cStartField, cEndField) {
var sTimeFormat = 'hh:mm';
var fDiff = 0;
// get the start time
var sStart = this.getField(cStartField).value;
// get the end time
var sEnd = this.getField(cEndField).value;
// complete script only if we have data
if(sStart != '' & sEnd != '') {
// convert sStart string to seconds
var fStart = Time2Num(sTimeFormat, sStart);
// convert sEnd string to seconds
var fEnd = Time2Num(sTimeFormat, sEnd);
// compute difference in seconds
fDiff += fEnd - fStart;
return fDiff;
Time2Num Function:
function Time2Num(sFormat, sTime) {
convert time string (sTime) with format of sFormat
to the seconds since the start of the day
if(sTime == '') return ''; // exit
// get date time for Epoch date and sTime
var oTime = util.scand('mm/dd/yyyy ' + sFormat, '01/01/1970 ' + sTime);
// convert UTC Offset to milliseonds for adjustment
var fTZOffset = oTime.getTimezoneOffset() * 1000 * 60
// time since the start of the day in millseconds
var fTime = oTime.valueOf() - fTZOffset;
// convert to seconds and return value
return Math.round(fTime / 1000);
And here is a sample field with JavaScript in it:
event.value = '';
var fDiff = 0;
// compute the difference for first pair of fields
// get the start time
var sStart = this.getField('Tech_2_Start').value;
// get the end time
var sEnd = this.getField('Tech_2_End').value;
// complete script only if we have data
if(sStart != '' & sEnd != '') {
// convert sStart string to seconds
var fStart = Time2Num('hh:mm', sStart);
// convert sEnd string to seconds
var fEnd = Time2Num('hh:mm', sEnd);
// compute difference in seconds
fDiff += fEnd - fStart;
fDiff = TimeDiff('Tech_2_Start', 'Tech_2_End');
// compute and add the difference for the second pair of fields
// get the start time
var sStart = this.getField('Tech_2_Start_2').value;
// get the end time
var sEnd = this.getField('Tech_2_End_2').value;
// complete script only if we have data
if(sStart != '' & sEnd != '') {
// convert sStart string to seconds
var fStart = Time2Num('hh:mm', sStart);
// convert sEnd string to seconds
var fEnd = Time2Num('hh:mm', sEnd);
// compute difference in seconds
fDiff += fEnd - fStart;
fDiff += TimeDiff('Tech_2_Start_2', 'Tech_2_End_2');
// convert to rounded minutes if not zero
if (fDiff != 0) {
fDiff = Math.round(fDiff / 60);
// report decimal hours
event.value = fDiff / 60;
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the response. This is interesting because I went through the process of testing the LiveCycle generated form (ES2) on my personal Android device before my company invested in the Sony units. Since the update has happened, the form no longer works on my personal device or the Sony’s of course. I’ve tried the different export settings and each time, no luck. A refund would be greatly appreciated since I purchased the product to continue the work at home on my personal laptop. Please advise on what the process is for a refund.
Thank you,

Saving part of fillable form as non-fillable pdf

I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer.
The top part of the form needs to be filled in by one office, and then once the fields are filled in they need to be "locked" for editing and sent on to a third party.
The third party needs to have the option of filling out the bottom part of the form without being able to modify the top part.
Is this possible?
I see in other threads that someone created a 'Lock all Fields' button. However, I don't know how to write script that would customize the button to lock only certain fields.
Also, I tested that document; the Lock button does work, but when you save the form and email it, the form fields become unlocked.
Are there any ideas on how to make this button work so that once the fields are locked, they stay locked?

Here are some postes that can help you....
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2134982#2134982
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2125137#2125137
the first URL has one samle PDF attached which has "Lock All Fields" button at the bottom. I checked the script and it is prepared to handle each subform individually withe the line of code in 'click' event myScriptObject.LockAllFields(form1); the user is passing entire form in this case but if you pass just the subform name that you wish to lock that will work....incase you need to lock more than one subform you would modify code to following...
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub1);
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub2);
rest will be automatically taken care....but to open up fields that are locked you need to modify the function LockAllFields() under myScriptObject variable and add new function in the same location gvie it a new name ....like OpenAllFields()....but instead of currentElement.access
="readOnly"; you would use currentElement.access ="open"; which will help unlock the fields in that subform.
then your final script may look like under the "Lock/UnLock Fields" button.
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub1);
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub2);
myScriptObject.UnLockAllFields(sub3);
myScriptObject.UnLockAllFields(sub4);
Hope that helps.
Good luck,

Fillable Forms to be saved as non fillable after filled

I need to distribute a fillable form to committee members to fill out. They then need to save these as non-fillable or normal? pdfs for passing on to non committee members.
I have created awesome forms that are reader extended but have no way to save these forms as non fillable. Print to .pdf? There has to be a more elegant solution

Hi Rahatawa,
How was the form created, if the form was created using LiveCycle Designer: Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF
And if is Acrobat form, you may try suggestion from this link: How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Under print production, under tool in Acrobat--> Flattener preview. Also, ::Form Field Flattening in Acrobat X

Acrobat fillable forms on a tablet?

will acrobat allow me to scan an existing form and create fillable forms, check boxes and make simple line drawings? also, signatures?

Acrobat itself won't run on tablet devices (unless it's a Windows tablet PC), but the mobile version of Adobe Reader for iOS and Android now supports basic fillable forms and some commenting tools. If you scan and create your form on a desktop PC, it should work on those mobile platforms.

PDF Form not working properly on an Android Tablet.

Help help...Making existing livecycle fillable form mobile(ios/android adobe reader) compitible

Hello Everyone,
I am new to livecycle designer. I have a fillable pdf form(having almost all the field types, dynamic image uploads, and javascripts). I don't know if it is possible to have fillable form for mobile devices( for iPhone,ipad,Android).
Does any one have idea how can I make my existing pdf form compatible with mobile devices??
Thank you all,
Jay

Hi Jay Lakhani,
You will not be able to use the form on mobile devices unless it is rendered in HTML format.
If you want your XFA forms to run on mobile devices, you need to do the following:
- Create a HTML render profile in CRX. A default profile comes with LC installation. Check this for more details on this (http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/rendering-form-temp late.html)
- Secondly, you need to have LC Mobile workspace application present on your mobile device. This app is available in respective app stores.
This is what you need to render the forms in HTML on mobile devices.
Additionally,
This documentation (with snapshots) describes mobile workspace working (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/livecycle/topics/mobile-ws-end- user.html)
One youtube link on ES4 describing use of Mobile workspace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPZTXfnsMpw)

Dynamic forms for an android tablet - please help!

Until this week I knew nothing about Acrobat, LiveCycle or javascript! I bought the software midweek and have spent several days struggling to create a dynamic PDF form. It needs to be dynamic because I want our staff, when interviewing new clients, to be presented with different dropdown selections, depending on the answers to earlier questions. I've finally managed to crack this problem, only to run into another. I want this form to be deployed on Android tablets, and neither of the readers which I have tried - Adobe Reader and EZ PDF - will open a dynamic PDF file. I can save it as a static file instead and open it quite happily on the tablet, but then I lose the functionality.
Can anyone suggest a way round this or have I been wasting my time?
I'd be most grateful for any help.

Hi,
I'm afraid there is currently no work around as the support of XFA forms is very, very limited.
Especially dynamic features are not supported by any PDF viewer on Android and iOS devices.
Maybe Adobe Reader will support more of the XFA features in the future, but only maybe.

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.

How to create an online fillable form for mobile devices, tablets and smartphones.

How can I create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices, tablets and smarphones?
I already created an "online fillable form" with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for PCs and MACs but this form can not be filled using mobile devices, it can only be downloaded.
Thanks.

Hi George,
I gather from your reply that I won't be able to create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Correct?
If Adobe does not have another software similar to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, would you please suggest me any other means of creating "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices?
Would you think that an HTML developed form would be a fair substitute for the PDF fillable forms that I use for PCs and MACs?
Thanks,
Alvaro

Is it possible to add text to a non-fillable form using Reader DC?

TLDR: Can I add text to a form (e.g., fill it out) using Adobe Reader DC on Windows, or can that only be done with "fillable" forms? If so, how?
I'm attempting to fill out a fairly lengthy "paper" form. The form is not a fillable form, it is a government form that is downloadable for printing but for whatever reason the government agency chose not to enable the "fillable" feature.
On my Mac, I can just use the "text box" tool in the Preview app to add all of the text that I need to complete this form.
On Adobe Reader DC, which is installed on my Work PC running Windows 8, nothing happens when I click the "fill and sign" button and the features displayed in the online tutorial simply don't show up. There's no text tool. I just see the "hand" icon. When I right-click, I get an option for the Select tool, which enables me to select text, but doesn't allow me to add a text box. The web tutorial says there should be a menu somewhere with an icon to add a text box, but that icon is just straight up missing.
I am very confused by this software. I am not an idiot with computers; but I am a bit old, and I'm more used to keyboards, toolbars, and windows than this "pane" based touch-oriented approach. The toolbar up top seems to be limited to a "pane selector" between Home, Tools (which just reveals a panel of icons most of which are links to cloud services that I don't want), an then a few file handling icons. On the right there is a little panel that says "get started" and offers only two clickable functions, "Send & Track" and "Get Others to Sign" neither of which reveals any text tools.
Now, the answer to my question very well may be "no" which is fine, I'll just keep using my Mac for the task since I know that it works, but I'd really like to be able to leave my personal computer and get everything done within Windows. Surely this isn't one of those things that can only be done on a Mac or with expensive third-party software on a PC. But the web seems to insist that this is a thing that should be both possible and simple. Is it?

You can try the comments tools.

Is there an APK android app downloader for Firefox? Need to download via PC then copy to a non-internet connected tablet for installation

I have two Android tablets that are not connected to the internet (long story). I'd like to download Android Apps via my PC and copy them to my Android tablets. I do not want to use the Chrome APK extension for a variety of reasons. The apps I need are free, but without an internet connection, I can't obtain them. They are not available for direct download from the developer sites.

Read the question again FredMcD, he was asking for ways to download .apk files on computer to then install them on Android tablets.

Hi Humberto Suarez,
The complete cycle cannot be completed using Forms Central, we do not have the facility to get the signature in forms Central. Also, we cannot merge the forms using forms Central.
However, using Acrobat you can get the task done.
