Filling in PDF forms from web forms

I have acrobot pro, and can build PDF files. What I don't know how to do is build a web form that'll fill in PDFs, and then make a copy to the server, or email the pdf to the person who filled in the form.
What forum is the correct place to ask this question? I don't want to be irritating people by asking in the wrong place.

This forum is fine, you just may want to provide more details. Acrobat's help has more information on creating forms, as do a number of tutorials at AcrobatUsers.com.
Submitting the entire PDF either to a web server or sending it by email is easy, but if it has to work with Reader, the form has to be Reader-enabled. You can do this in Acrobat, but there is a 500 form limit on the number of returned forms Iincluding hardcopies) that you can use data from if you distribute the document to more than 500 users. When you post a Reader-enabled document on a publicly accessible web site, you are effectively distributing it to an unlimited number or people.
An alternative is to set up the form to submit just the form data to a web server or send it via email. There are no licensing restrictions for this. The form data can then be later imported back into a blank form, stored in a database, or the data file archived.
Much of what you asked about does not involve Acrobat directly, but rather programming of the server to respond to a form submission.

  • How to change/set the browser title from web forms (XP platform with SP2)

    I am running Form9i, I have set the browser windows title from Web Forms dynamically by using following method. However, when my PC has changed to XP, the function seems not work. Does anybody have same problem and how to solve it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Add the Javascript code to your baseHTML file. For example,
    if you are using the basejini.htm:
    <HEAD><TITLE>%pageTitle%</TITLE>
    <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript1.2">
    function Change(a) {    document.title=a;    } </script>
    </HEAD>
    In web Forms , call the javascript function with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built.
    For Example the following code set the browser title with username . web.show_document('javascript:Change('||'"'|| get_application_property(USERNAME)||'"'||')','_self');
    Best Regards,
    Bowie

    Dear Frank,
    Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me in detail which built-in function in Webutil can set value in browser title ?
    Btw, is it possible for me to set parameter "separateFrame=True" in formsweb.cfg and set the form window title by using SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,v_msg_string)?
    Best Regards,

  • How to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT 10g  Is this possible?????

    how to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
    I would like to call a form using the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT the idea is from the menu that is attached to the form instead of use call_form use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(...my_newform.fmx)
    Is this possible?????

    Hi ,
    I think yes...but under some circumstances....
    In your formsweb.cfg file you should define a named configuration alias... such as:
    [TEST]
    workingDirectory=C:\TEST_DIR
    form=C:\TEST_DIR\MY_NEWFORM.FMX
    Then , after stopping , starting your OC4J instance..... you call that as (in a button , for example):
    web.show_document('http:<your_server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=[TEST]',_blank);
    I have not tested it.....

  • Audit Intersection fails from Web Form

    We have an HFM 9.3.1 application successfully integrated with FDM 9.3.1, in that when navigating to a base level intersection, which has been loaded by FDM, the audit intersection option allows a drill-through analysis to the correct FDM application / location.
    This feature works perfectly OK from right clicking a grid intersection and selecting Audit Intersection. However, if a web form is used to display the same intersection and the user selects Audit Intersection the following error message is generated :-
    System Error "The signed on token is no longer valid" the web screen also displays an error stating there are localization errors and that the action is empty or missing.
    Repeatedly performing the same operation from data grids and web forms results in the web form audit always failing and grid audit always succeeding.
    Looking at the URL parameters I can see that the two sets of actions sent to generate the FDM audit page are indeed different
    I have included the source "action" parameter from the IntersectionSummarybyLocation web page. (With line breaks to aid readability)
    Repeated successful Grid Audit

    It would appear that the format for characters is different and the SSO_TOKEN is differrent (although this maybe by design since the calling locations are different).
    I have checked that the Grid and Web Form operations are calling the same web page encoding of Unicode (UTF-8).
    Anybody got any idea why FORM functionality is failing to display the Audit Intersection?
    Kind regards
    Colin
    Edited by: Colin Lye on Sep 15, 2011 6:26 AM

    Applied Patches 9.3.1.1 thru to 9.3.1.4 (latest).
    Problem resolved. Audit Intersections now work from both Grid and Forms.
    Incidentally, both "Action" parameters from Grid and Form are now identical including the SSO_Token.

  • Sending email from web forms (Forms 6i)

    Does anyone know how to send email using Outlook from web forms? I can get it working with client server but not with web forms.
    Thanks,
    Darcea Klein
    null

    Many ways to send a email:
    1. use Web.Show_Document(v_url, '_blank') to call a .asp or .php or .cgi page which can send email, attaching some message.
    2. use utl_smtp built_in in Oracle 8i, you can save this procedure in database, then call this procedure in your web form.
    PROCEDURE SEND_EMAIL (sender IN VARCHAR2,
    recipient IN VARCHAR2,
    message IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
    mailhost VARCHAR2(30) := 'smtp.aaaaa.com';
    mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
    BEGIN
    mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 25);
    utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn, mailhost);
    utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn, sender);
    utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn, recipient);
    utl_smtp.data(mail_conn, message);

  • Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

    I created a main form and menu module for this form.
    I am calling another form from main form menu item.
    i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
    But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying

    This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
    You will need to establish your session.
    I set the seperateframe = true

    But still getting the same error.
    Is there any parameter that i am missing.
    I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.

  • Not able to open PDF files from Web

    Sometimes reader 9.3.1 in IE on Windows 7 stops working and it is not possible to display any more PDF files from web. Reinstall helps for a while.
    By looking into running programs I found the acrobroker.exe starts and immediatelly shuts down. After a while IE responds with a generic acrobat problem that asks me to shutdown acrobat reader and start it again.
    Any idea what might be wrong?
    Thanks

    For the settings to check, see the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

  • Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form and close it.

    Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form, check something, show a message to the user and exit the form to the previous form.
    Forms version: 10.1.2.0.2. Java: 1.6.0_23. Browser: IE6
    When I put before the "EXIT_FORM" two messages, everything is fine and the second form is closed and I repeat to the first form just as I wanted.
    In forms 9.0 it didn't happen.
    Does it have a connection with the fact I use JRE instead of JInitiator?
    Thank you.

    >
    There are numerous causes of the FRM-92101 error. I recommend you start your investigation by tracing your Forms session so you can see what your form is doing when the error occurs. Check out My Oracle Support document How to Use Forms Trace with Forms [ID 209372.1] for information on how to enable the trace. Also, take a look at My Oracle Support document Known Causes of FRM-92101 Error In Forms [ID 604633.1].

    I have just found that there is a "Synchronize" command in one of the main attached libraries, and when I comment that command the application works well. But I don't want to comment it because it's a great library and I assume it has a part in the system.
    I have discovered that in the new Forms' help, the fact that the System.Current_Item mustn't be null so the command "Synchronize" will work, is mentioned. In the old Forms' help, that fact is not mentioned.
    So I tried to put it inside a condition that checks if the current item is not null, but the compiler doesn't recognize the "current_item". I don't know why. Because it's a library? So how can I check this? I can sent it as a parameter, but I don't want. Do you know something about it? Thank you.

  • How to access objects in the Child Form from Parent form.

    I have a requirement in which I have to first open a Child Form from a Parent Form. Then I want to access objects in the Child Form from Parent form. For example, I want to insert a record into a block present in Child Form by executing statements from a trigger present in Parent Form.
    I cannot use object groups since I cannot write code into Child Form to first create object groups into Child Form.
    I have tried to achieved it using the following (working of my testcase) :
    1) Created two new Forms TESTFORM1.fmb (parent) and TESTFORM2.fmb (child).
    2) Created a block named BLK1 manually in TESTFORM1.
    3) Created two items in BLK1:
    1.PJC1 which is a text item.
    2.OPEN which is a push button.
    4) Created a new block using data block wizard for a table EMPLOYEE_S1. Created items corresponding to all columns present in EMPLOYEE_S1 table.
    5) In WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger of TESTFORM1 set the first navigation block to BLK1. In BLK1 first navigable item is PJC1.
    6) In WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE of PJC1, code has been written to automatically execute the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger for the "Open" button.
    7) In WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of OPEN item, TESTFORM2 is opened using the following statement :
    open_form(‘TESTFORM2',no_activate,no_session,SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA);
    Since its NO_ACTIVATE, the code flows without giving handle to TESTFORM2.
    8) After invoking OPEN_FORM, a GO_FORM(‘TESTFORM2’) is now called to set the focus to TESTFORM2
    PROBLEM AT HAND
    ===============
    After Step 8, I notice that it passes the focus to TESTFORM2, and statements after go_form (in Parent Form trigger) doesnot executes.
    I need go_form with no_activate, similar to open_form.
    Edited by: harishgupt on Oct 12, 2008 11:32 PM

    isn't it easier to find a solution without a second form? If you have a second window, then you can navigate and code whatever you want.
    If you must use a second form, then you can handle this with WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED and meta-data, which you have to store in global variables... ( I can give you hints if the one-form-solution is no option for you )

    -Luis

    Hi,
    You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

  • Zooming in a PDF Document from Web

    Hello,
    How can I zoom in a PDF Document from Web using Safari 2.0.4?
    Thank you.
    -HREsquivelO

    HRE,
    There is a couple of ways to zoom in PDF and any file. But my favorite is to hold down the "Control" key and use the Scroll wheel on your mouse to Zoom in and out. Assuming you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that is.
    If you don't have a scroll wheel you can hold down the Option & Apple (Command) key and the press the "+ or -" keys to zoom in and out. Then move around your document with the mouse.
    Way cool!
