Form Template

I copied a template from Forms Central and then renamed the document along with modifying the contents. When I try to email the link, it retains the template name stating: Please fill out my form: CLASS ENROLLMENT. This is not the name I gave the form. Is there a way to change this?

Go to the File menu -> Form Setup. You can change the form title there.

I want to view the results in the form template, rather than in rows and columns, I can print them as .pdf but want to view them online

e.g   DOB:
       Name:
If this is the form and   100 people entered it I would like to go to form template and click forward arrow to go thru all 100, so I can review all of the results
Like you can in access
thanks

You can download the PDF that you are wanting to look at. In safari if there is a link to a pdf you can usually Control Click or Right Click and select to save it to the desktop. From there, you can open the PDF with Acrobat.
If i'm not mistaken, though, PDF's will default to Apple Preview, so if you want PDFs to open with Acrobat by default, you can set it that way by highlighting a PDF then hitting (Apple) I. In the Info pane, expand the "Open With" field, set the program to Acrobat, then tell it to Change All if you want all PDFs to default to Acrobat.
Hopefully that will help!

The data source "....." referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found

Greetings,
I have an InfoPath 2013 form that uses an external data connection. The data connection became corrupt (somehow, no one knows who changed what). A user went in to InfoPath designer and created a new data connection and changed all references
to use that new data connection. Now the form cannot be published at all with the error
"The data source "GetUserProfileByName" referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found"
The new data source they created is GetUserProfileByName2 and changed all references.
Of course, since it is broke, they asked me to see if I can find the issue. I went through the form looking to see if they missed any references to the old data connection and can't find anything.
Where is InfoPath storing the old data connection information and where can I remote it? I looked in the manifest and don't see it there either.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
There are many XML schema files for the data connection, I recommend to check if the references to the XML files have been changed to the new schema files in the manifest file.
For example, if we create a data connection called GetUserProfileByName, then there will be one XML file and three XML schema files for the data connection.
Please make sure that all the references are updated in the manifest file.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to add additional lines to the Order Form template?

I purchased and installed Acrobat Pro 9 because of its ability to create forms and found the Order Form template is just perfect for what I need, why reinvent the wheel, right? Except I found I can't figure out how to add additional object that duplicate what is already there. I highlighted an entire row and tried to just copy and paste but the past function put the copied objects at the bottom of the form in what looks like a group, all out of order. I tried looking in the online help for a possible key combination that would inset an additional row of objects but couldn't find any.
Also the form doesn't move down and create a new page keeping all the other elements in line, it moves to the bottom of the current page and stops. Thought the template was based on a table so I was going to insert additional rows thinking once it reached the bottom of the current page it would automatically break to a new page and continue, but it's not a table. So my question is, how can I add duplicate object that match the Order Form templates Item, Description, etc. objects? I've come to realize learning to use this product is not going to be as simple a proposition as I was lead to believe. O well, live and learn!
If someone can point me in the right direction, any help is greatly appreciated.
Tony Rodriguez

Thanks, Barney! It's even easier than the solution I came to: copying and pasting into the field.

How to create a Custom form Template..

Hi Eperts,
I would like to seek a help from you regarding creating a custom form template on custom BO. could you guide me where i have gone wrong in successfully creating a Print form. I am in dead need of this particular solution for a client. It is hampering my entire scenario......
1. I had created a Custom BO and I am trying to preview the created form on the OIF screen.
2. I had created a form on above of the custom BO. This created form and form group is activated and configured as of needed by opening it through ALD (Adobe Life Cycle Designer).
3. I had created a BAC element with some scoping questions and activated it. After activating it i had deployed the Business configuration.
4. my solution got updated with the created and deployed BAC elements and i had done scoping for those elements to make my created form available.
5. I can see my form template in Form Template maitaince under Application user managment WOC. I had made it to be available for all users and published.
6. All the above steps are done success fully with no errors.
7. When i accessed my custom BO and tried to preview the created form i am unable to view it and i am seeing the following window.
Could you help me out in solving this or send me across any detailed document regarding this what you had done previously.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help...
Regards...
Hanu K

It looks like system didn't identify the form template. So please check if the required configuration for "Preview" modal dialog is done properly. In the SDK documentation, refer to section "8.4.3.4 Create a Preview Button for a Print Form"
If you have already done the steps mentioned in the section 8.4.3.4, but still facing the issue then let me know.
Best regards,
Hari

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

PDF form template displaying multiple sets of data loaded from xfdf

Hello
I would like to use PDF Forms with data stored in xfdf files.
Is it possible to create pdf form (template) for displaying and printing multiple sets of data stored in xfdf?
For example: pdf form contains 2 sets of data. Form field names: F_1 and F_2.
I have 7 sets od data. All I need is to create pdf and xfdf that can be displayed in PDF reader and printed
as document consisting of 4 the same pages containing different data in form fields loaded from xfdf file.
(something similar to Mail merge in MS Office Word).
How it would be done? Is it possible to make such pdf, xfdf?
If yes, where I can find examples (tutorial) of creating such forms, please?
Thanks.
J. Jas

It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.

With newer versions of Acrobat there is a mail merge feature.

Doubt in Form Template Customization Using VSTA

Hi All,
i have doubt in InfoPath form development using VSTA.
I have one form template, i want to auto fill(Using Hard coded) some of fields in that form like name,date and mobile number.
Can any one help me out how to do that.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
No need to use VSTA if you just want to set hardcode values. You need to set rule on form load event. Refer this link to set field value on form load:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/infopath-basics-how-to-populate-form-when-opened-loaded.htm
Anyway if you want to auto populate user detail from sharepoint then use userprofileservice.asmx service. (YOu will need to create user profile service in your farm to leverage this)

Form Template Selection

Hi,
Working on the Outgoing check form template. Tested looks fine in Test system. But When I tried the same template in the production it shows no template available for outgoing checks.
Even it did not allow to edit output settings options where can choose any other template.
For some reasons it doesn't show the form template for outgoing check at all even though Form template selection setup correctly.
Any idea why Payment Management - Payment monitor not showing the any template available for outgoing checks.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vir,
Is this adobe form template If yes,
-go to WorkCenter "Application and user Management"->Utilities and look for the form template in the Form's OWL (I don't remember the subview name for the OWL). If you do not find any relevant active template, check active or deleted section.
If you delete the current active custom template, then it should automatically be replaced by SAP's default template for that use case , if any.
Let me know if this helped.
Regards,
Damandeep

Using data from a spreadsheet, how can I create multiple completed PDFs from a form template?

Note that I am completely new to adobe acrobat.
I have a form template for a completion certificate for students who take a summer workshop where I'm working. It includes data such as their name and the program they completed. I have all the necessary information for each student in an excel spread sheet. Rather than sit here and enter data into the form 300+ times, I want to automate the process. I'd like to be able to specify the spread sheet and either have acrobat just print out all 300, or save them as seperate files so I can print them easily.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the response! I'd be interested in writing a script for it (I've actually been researching it a bit already). I'm completely new to Javascript (and scripting) but have a fair level of experience with c/c++ so I feel it shouldn't be too bad. I'll ask here for now, just let me know if I should ask a new question on the scripting forum instead.
I've looked at the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf) a bit but am having trouble finding a way to read the spreadsheet's data in (I was planning on using a csv file). I found Doc.importTextData(), which can parse a tab delimited file and from the sounds of it fill in the forms automatically (though I would much prefer a c style file interface that lets me write the parsing logic). Every time I try to call importTextData it returns -1 though, which means "Warning: User Canceled File Select". When I call it direct from the JavaScript Debug Console I just get a -1, but when I have it execute when I save I get "NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.". I did a bit of research on that and modified my script to look like:
Autofill = app.trustedFunction(
    function ()
        app.trustedFunction(importTextData);
        app.beginPriv();
        var result = this.importTextData("test.csv", 0);
        app.endPriv();
        return result;
I've also tried running Acrobat as an administrator, but I still get the same error. I could just not be understanding privileges correctly.
My overall plan was:
    for each row in the spreadsheet
        - read the row in from the file
        - fill out the fields in the PDF using the read data
        - save the file with a new file name.
If there is a better method to do this, just let me know.
Thanks again for your time!

Adobe Designer - Interactive form/template (visible but don't print messges

Hello,
I'm making a interactive form or template with Adobe Designer, in which I have one object field and a few text fields.
What I need to do is add messages on those fields so the person using the interactive form/template can know what to input in each field and were the fields are since they don't have border or background. For example I need to have a message like this: "click here to add your logo" in the object field, those messages can't be printed since they are just instrucctions for the person using the form/template.
I tried the Tooltip but since the fields can have border people won't know were the fields are and the Tooltip only works when you place the cursor on the field.
Any suggestions?

The input parameters you are seeing in a 'Web Dynpro like' form are more than likely input parameters to the process. Process input parameters come from action input parameters in process blocks and actions that are not mapped. Given that, it sounds like you have not mapped all the input parameters for one or more of your actions in your process. By default, GP provides the process initiator the ability to specify the values of these inputs when a process is started. To avoid this you can either,
1. Map all the input parameters.
2. Specify the process to start automatically under the 'Instantiation' tab for the process template. By selecting this, input parameters are ignored and their default values used.
3. Don't expose these parameters if they are not required or applicable to your process. This can be done at the action or block level under the 'Parameters' tab.

Making a form template

I would like to make a form template and put it into the forms library such that I can select that instead of a blank windows form. Can anyone tell how that might be done?

Create and save your Form in VS and then on the menu click (File) and select (Export Template). That will bring up a the
Export Template Wizard which you can follow the directions to have your template created. You should probably read through the links below to familiarize yourself with the choices and types of templates you
can create.

This form template is currently browser-enabled but it cannot be browser enabled on the site

Hi,
we have an issue with infopath form when trying to publish the form with browser enabled feature it is showing error "this form template is currently browser-enabled but it cannot be browser enabled on the site" and also "Enable thisf orm
to be filled out by using browser" option is disabled
i have triedfollowing
1. Site Collection Features has "Enterprise Features enabled"
2. Site Features also has "Enterprise Features" enabled
3. Forms Library has "View as Web Page" enabled in advance settings
4. Infopath Forms Service has Render and User Browser Compatible Forms enabled
5. Tried creating a form with simple section and design checker does not flash any errors (And, yes, the form is made browser compatible)
6. Tried enable and disable of Infopath Forms Service, Enterprise Features, etc and did an IISRESET each time
7. Default Form Templates library is also there in view all site contents page, this is also
8. This is only happening in one site collection, on other site collections this is working
Anyone please help me on this

Thanks Darrell,
Apologies for my delayed response. I wish it was that simple! When I publish, the files are saved throughout the site with files from my 7 other animations (some of which I've decided not to use). Very confusing for an Edge noob. Anyway I've identified and collected them all using Finder into a folder to zip. Now I have to finish sorting about 1.25 GB of images (when I started experimenting with Edge I made the mistake of using big pixel dimensions and many duplicates of varying sizes) that aren't in the animation I want to send you. I don't know which ones to delete without inserting each one in the edge animate composition first as distinguishing the names in the library seems to be a lost cause. Thanks for your patience and I'll send the zipped file with the pruned images within 48 hrs. I'm working with a full laptop that's at the end of its natural life so its taking a lot longer. I hope the whole problem is because of my huge image folder and not to do with javascript etc. The animations work fine by themselves in any browser and after publishing by themselves it seems. Just not in DW...
Cheers, Gene.

SAP Cloud For Customer : How to change the Logo or Image into the Standard Form Template

After changed and upload modified template and change the output setting for print i can able to see the changes but logo / image can not display.
Can anyone have idea how to solve this issue ?
Can we change the template within cloud system?
If Yes than How ?

The following are the instructions (November 2014 version of SAP Cloud for Customer)
Edit a Form Master Template
Overview
As an administrator, you can edit existing form master templates. These are used to define the header, footer, and logos used in form templates. Form master templates also contain an e-mail disclaimer that is appended to automatically generated e-mails sent to business partners when a document is output from the system.
Procedure
1. Go to Application and User Management or Administrator Business Flexibility Master Template Maintenance .
2. In the Master Template Maintenance view, select Form Master Templates from the Show menu.
3. Select the master template you want to edit and click Edit.
4. On the Form Master Template tab, do the following:
Under Header, click Upload and browse to find the file you want as logo. Adjust the size and alignment of the logo, as required.The file formats .gif, .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif are supported. The logo should not be larger than 40 mm width x 20 mm height. If you upload a graphic that is larger than 40 mm x 20 mm, it is resized automatically.Select the Header Divider checkbox if you want a graphical divider to appear on your form.Under Sender Address, enter your company’s address. The sender address is shown above the recipient's address in a letter.Under Footer, choose the number of footer columns you want to display. Enter the footer text exactly as you would like it to appear on the form. You can maintain up to 4 footer blocks with a maximum of 10 lines per footer.Note that the width of each footer block is equally divided over the available space. If a line of text in the footer is too long for the current font size, the system will automatically enter a line break. If this automatic line break does not meet your needs, you may need to enter the text after the line break as a separate line.To maintain multiple languages, you must first add the language from the Add menu and then maintain the texts in that language by selecting the language from the dropdown list.
5. Click the refresh button to preview your changes. From the dropdown list under Preview, you can select a country. The preview is then displayed using the country-specific template, for example, some countries do not use sender addresses or have different paper sizes.
6. On the E-Mail Disclaimer tab, you can enter a disclaimer or other company-specific legal information.
This text is appended to the main text body of e-mails that are created when a document is output by the system. It is not possible to create separate language versions of this text; therefore if your company uses multiple communication languages, you should enter all language versions of the disclaimer here.
7. Click Save and Close.
Result
If required, you can now assign the form master template to a company/org unit and/or output channel. For more information, see the Master Template Maintenance Quick Guide.
Note that master templates can be activated and deactivated for each form template in the Form Template Maintenance view. For more information, see the Form Template Maintenance Quick Guide.
