Filling out Website Parameters
Hello,
I had a simple question regarding the connecting to a normal html website using a program written in java. The website I am trying to connect to has two text fields that prompt your username and password, as well as a submit button.
<input name="NTuser" type="text" value="" size="20" maxlength="50">
<input name="PWD" type="password" value="" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value=" OK ">How can I get my program to communicate with the website, send it all my credentials (username and password) and then log in?
Thank you for reading this.
Here is the HTML code of the site:

How can I stop partially filled out "Contact Us" websites from disappearing
If I want to contact a supplier to complain about a problem with his goods, on his website I find a form "Contact Us". This form usually has mandatory lines for my name, e-mail, address, phone number, etc.which must be filled out. Then the subject matter is supposed to be typed up in the space provided on the Form.
Many times such a Form suddenly disappears from the screen, before my typing is complete. Some of such disappearances are triggered by hitting the "Return" on the keyboard, when I want to start a paragraph. Obviously such a website is set up to understand this button only as "Enter" (because there is no proper "SENT" button) and thus sends the form up line uncompleted.
In any case, it suddenly disappears from my computer. The recipient will have no idea what the incomplete form is really about, and thus will not respond. What is really troubling is that when I go to my FF History and reload the form, or reload from the back-button, the form will only re-appear totally empty, and all my previous typing on the same form is lost.
Is there a way to set FF Preferences to prevent the disappearance of the completed content?
If not, there should be, both to stop the whole thing from happening over and over again, and secondly to provide an e-mail like record of what comment was sent by me.
MacbookAir/Mac 10.8.3/ Firefox 21.0As long as a text area has focus then the Enter key should add a new line.<br />
If you are in a single line input field then the Enter key will submit the form.
It is best to use the Tab key to move to the next field when filling a form.

How can I embed a form on my website and set up a submit button so that when people fill out and click Submit, the filled form will be emailed to me as an attached pdf file?
Thank you!Hi;
That is not a workflow that is supported by the Adobe forms solutions at this time.
Thanks,

Website dimensions (pixels H & W) needed to completely fill out browser?
Hi all,
My client wants me to make him a website that fills out / utilises all the space of the browser, e.g. the Apple site here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5c/features/ and this site here http://www.august.com/
Obviously the site will need to fit all screen sizes, as long as it uses the max browser space.
Please advise!
Many thanksHello,
The dimension you provide for the site would determine if the customers are able to see the whole site on one go or they would have to scroll horizontally to see the whole width of the site. Muse doesn't offer responsive design (width) as of yet, and only offers fixed width, so you'll have to manually enter a width for the page area of your site (excluding browser fill area). If you make the page too wide, then the users with low resolution wouldn't see the whole site at one go, and they would get a horizontal scroll bar and would have to scroll to see the site's right/left side contents. However, if you wish, you can fill the whole page with an image, that would be a full width image (covering the full width of the site).
Check this short video I created on how to implement it here: http://screencast.com/t/0v9yFZFlUSky
Notice in the video, the rectangle is streched until it snaps the sides of the browser area, and you see a red line - this makes the rectangle full width, and hence the image filled in it as well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

When typing into forms, such as filling out a contact sheet on a website, my first few letters will not appear when i start typing. For example, if I wanted to type "explanation", i might end up with "laxation". This happens in all browsers.
If i backspace everything and start typing again in the same area, it will work properly the second time.
I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How do I create an application that can be printed AND filled out online via my website?
Is InDesign the best program to do this in?
Webform with HTML would be best.
But depends on a lot of things...
InDesign is not a web authoring program.
But it can produce fillable forms ... which are PDF.
So if you want it on your site - a webform is best.
If you want it as link they fill out and submit then InDesign. -
Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.
It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters. -
Scenario:
When a visitor comes to our website and creates a login, we are pushing their profile information to Eloqua via the Eloqua web services api. However, because they have not filled out an Eloqua form or clicked through an email, their page visit activity is not synced with their profile information in Eloqua because they don't have an Eloqua cookie yet (for first time visitors only).
I know you can integrate an external form with an Eloqua form (which will then create the Eloqua cookie automatically) but because this is a login form for our website, we don't want to send secure information (such as passwords) over to Eloqua.
Is there a way to create the Eloqua cookie using the web services api and/or javascript or is this a missing feature?I think what you're asking is how can you link a visitor profile to an Eloqua contact. An Eloqua cookie is placed on a user's computer by the javascript tracking scripts - this is just a unique id that is used when saving the visitor information to a table in the Eloqua database. It will be there regardless of whether the user comes from an email or submits a form. What does happen when a user visits your website from an Eloqua email or submits a form is the visitor profile that has been keeping track of website activity in Eloqua gets linked to an Eloqua contact by email address.
To make this link happen in your scenario, you can instead of pushing the information through the web services to Eloqua directly as a create contact call, create a form submission through the web services where you can pass through the elqCustomerGUID (the cookie value) along with at least an email address to make the link happen.
You will need to:
1. use javascript on your website to pull the elqCustomerGUID from eloqua. There's code for this in the integration details for individual forms in Eloqua. It has to be pulled from Eloqua servers because the cookie is a third party cookie.
2. pass this cookie value to your server so you have it when you make the web services calls to Eloqua to push the contact information over and now make a form submission record (entities through the api Base->Form->*this will be a form submission record*) to create the link in Eloqua. -
I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!
You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.
Understanding reader extensions licensing | Adobe LiveCycle Blog -
How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?
I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible. I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
Thanks,
ChaniThanks everyone for responding. I should have supplied more information.
I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro. These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data. However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered. Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact. Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions. However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly? How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing? I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
Thanks for all of your responses!

Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms
My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
Any insight would be appreciated...There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again. -
I am new to working with pdf. I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a website. I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to learn Acrobat. How do I get the form to accept my input?
If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

Filling out online forms with java
I wanted to create a program that will fill out a form on a website by running a java program. COuld anyone tell me what i would use to make the program fill in i guess a text feild and then select a radio button and submitting the results? I tried looking through books and online but i dont even know what im looking for really.
Maybe look for browser plugin programming. Otherwise, I don't know how a Java application (as opposed to an Applet) could ever access an HTML page in a browser window.
At least not without going native. On Win machines, you might use something like the Java-Com bridge to access the IE's API... if it provides one and its methods help you to do what you intend. -
PDF does not save filled out fields when using browser
Hello! I have a couple PDFs that I've uploaded to my website for clients to fill out and download. I'm getting complaints that clients are filling out the form, saving it to their computer, but when re-opening the now saved form, none of the fields are filled out.
Am I doing something wrong? I've provided the forms to be savable in the security functions, and I tested it myself after downloading the PDF and filling it out in the browser (as it automatically opens in browser), and saving to my PC, I re-open the PDF and it is empty of any of the fields I filled out.
Please help! This is causing my clients to lose faith in me!
Thank you!Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Just to confirm, when you say "I've provided the forms to be savable in the security functions," did that mean you (using Acrobat XI as an example):
File menu > Saved As Other... > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save) -
Filling out form automatically
Hi,
I'm fairly new to APEX and I need help with a few things based on forms.
Firstly, I would like to automatically retrieve a foreign key ID from the database to enter it into the form. I'd like it to be the latest ID created by the current user if that makes sense.
secondly, for one form I would like it to automatically complete the form based on the first entry if it already exists. E.G. I go into the site and enter my personal details, then I make a request. Next day I want to make another request, I would like to be able to enter my User ID and the form to fill out automatically so I don't need to do it all again (I still want it to be re-submitted to create a new ID).
and then lastly, I would like to know if its possible and if so how to delete data from the database from 2 or 3 different tables when the cancel button is clicked. I'd like to have the user fill out 2 different forms on different pages, then on a third page have them confirm and when the confirm button clicked an email sent but on the third page if they decide to cancel then i'd like it 2 delete what they've just entered.
I hope that all made sense
thanks in advance for any help
