  • How can I fill a pdf form with Excel?

    I have a pdf form and a set of Excel dates. How can I fill the form with this dates?
    Is there any way to transform excel dates into a fdf-File?
    Thank You for helping
    Hans

    I see. That's possible, in theory, but it requires using a complicated custom-made script.
    I would suggest using that Mail Merge option that's available in some versions of Excel to produce multiple single-page files, then flatten all of them (using an Action), and then merge them to a single file, to achieve the same result with much less effort.

    How can I fil in a pdf on my mac

    Open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader.  http://www.apple.com/osx/ says this feature will be available in Mountain Lion when it comes out next month.  Be sure to keep an eye on this tip to ensure you are compatible with Mountain Lion when it does get released:

  • How can I fill in a form, save the form such that it cannot be further altered, and email it as it was saved?

    How can I fill in a form, save the form such that it cannot be further altered, and email it as it was saved?  I created a form with 5 fields.  It is a form letter that is intended as a receipt for funds received.  I want to fill in the date, name, amount received, etc., save the form with inserted data fields so they can't be further altered, and be able to email it as a complete unalterable PDF document.  What I'm doing now, is filling in the fields, printing it, scanning it, and emailing it as an unalterable document.  The document was created on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.13.  The document is filled in on a PC that only has Adobe reader on it, printed, scanned and emailed as an attachment. There must be a better way! 

    If you have access to a ASP.net Web Server, then the submission could be FLATTENED with FDFToolkit.net and emailed without client-side email software by only using Adobe Reader.

  • How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

    OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
    How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

    OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
    p=0;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line.  Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
    Next, I tried this:
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
    What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
    Is this possible?

  • How can I get a PDF form to email to me when it is hosted online?

    Ok, I'm not a coding expert, but I understand CSS and html alright.
    I am trying to create a PDF form for my website: www.pantherapressdesign.com.
    I have already created the forms (they are under the purchase section of the site) and when they are saved to the harddrive they work just fine. HOWEVER, when you fill them out and they open in the browser they will not submit to me (aka. I don't get them by email, even though the submit button correctly re-directs you to the thanks page).
    In the fuctions of the submit button I have it set to mailto:[email protected]
    When the form is saved on the hard drive (I open it from the desktop) and click submit it brings up a dialog box and asks me how I want to send it. I then choose desktop mail service, it opens it in an email and sends it.
    I want customers to be able to click the form from the website - fill it out right there in the browser - and then be able to submit it to me that way.
    I am assuming I must route this through the php or something, but am not sure how to do that. I have the php working for the contact from on the website, but I don't know php so I used pre-written code to do that. Is there some simple code I can drop into my php that will handle these forms? Help, please! Thanks

    I looked at the Stationary form, and there are a number of things you need to change. It is currently set up to submit as "HTML", as opposed to FDF, XFDF, or the entire PDF. This is fine if you're submitting the form to a web server, which can read the field data, place it in an email, and send it off. This is actually much preferred to relying on the user's machine being set up properly to send an email. Many are not and not receiving order that someone thought was submitted will be bad for your business. Consider removing the existing forms today and you can update when they are working.
    Your web hosting service likely has a PHP script that is designed to work with HTML forms and send an email with the form data included. This can work with a PDF form if the form is correctly set up. To do that, you will need to know how the script works and what it is expecting in the way of form data when it processes a submission. The PHP script should also be modified to send an appropriate response back to the user, which can be a simple redirect. The way you have it now with a link to the redirect page is wrong. It goes there whether the form is complete or not and whether the email actually got sent. This can be avoided by having the web server take care of this.
    If you don't have the expertise to modify the form to suit the PHP script and PHP script to suit the workflow, you'll need to find someone who does.

  • How can I send a PDF form for someone to complete, then lock it for no one to see except us when they send it back?

    We would like to create a PDF form to collect sensitive information (phone numbers, payment information) from our customers. Ideally, we would like for them to be able to fill it out, then hit a button to encrypt it when completed, and send it back to us for us to view. Kind of like sending out an open, self-locking box for them to fill, and once they close it no one can see the contents without the key (which we would have).
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07) on Mac OSX (10.9.4).
    Is this possible? If so, how do I do this? Thank you in advance!

    You can use certificate encryption. Each of your customers needs to have a digital certificate with a private key and send you the public key version of his/her certificate. You also need to have a digital certificate with private key and to send each customer the public version of your certificate.  Then after each customer fills in your form, she encrypts it with certificate encryption entering as recipients herself and you before sending this PDF to you. This way only this particular customer and you can open and see PDF filled with sensitive information.
    This workflow presumes that you and each of your customers can procure a digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak).

  • How can recipients submit completed PDF forms using a MAC?

    We have created fillable PDF forms using LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  They include
    submit buttons that are set to submit the completed forms as PDFs.  Rights have been extended for Adobe Reader users.  They work great when the recipient is using a PC, but when they are using a MAC we have a number of problems:
    1) the Print and Submit buttons do not work
    2) when the recipient saves and e-mails the file manually, the data they entered is only visible when you click on that field
    Help!  How can our MAC recipients submit their completed form as a PDF that displays all of the data!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niall.  This information proved really helpful in confirming the problem.  We ran some tests and the problem does seem to only occur when MAC recipients are using Preview.
    We recieved this link from Adobe, which provides a solution if you have access to all the recipients:

  • How can I fill in a form that was emailed to me?

    @

    Hi zygmuntc,
    You can use the Fill&Sign online service to fill out that form. Or, if it's a PDF form, you can open it in the free Adobe Reader and fill it in there.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • How can we use a pdf form multiple times for different people (students)?

    Our school created a pdf form of our report card but we are not able to "save as" the forms for use by multiple teachers for multiple students. Please advise.

    Just use Adobe Reader XI.  Adobe Reader XI allows for forms data saving but it does NOT allow for locking down that data.

  • Can I fill in PDF forms and export / save as un-editable file?

    Hi all,
    I have a client for whom I am creating an invoice template. I created the file in InDesign and have exported as a PDF.
    Working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 on Mac 10.6.8, I have managed to add text fields for my client to fill in with job-specific information. (Job number, item / descriptions / costs and so on).
    Is there a way that he/she can fill in job specifics, and then save or export the file so that when opened by their client, it appears as UN-editable?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Yes, you can flatten the form, which converts the field appearances (and any other annotations) to regular page contents. Here's a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that you can use: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X
    The basic JavaScript statement is:
    flattenPages();
    More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference, which is included in the Acrobat SDK and online.
    For invoices, I created an automation tool that adds certain metadata to the invoice (e.g., invoice #, date, total amount), flattens certain fields, and adds a certification digital signature. the original field values are copied to fields on a hidden template so that it is readily available if it's ever needed.

    You need to implement a tree model to describe your data structure.
    Start from reading the java doc about javax.swing.tree.TreeModel

  • Fill in PDF forms

    I have some forms that can be filled in and saved using adobe PDF reader.  When I open them on my playbook, I can't type into any of the feilds.  Is there anyway around this?
    Thanks

    Welcome to my world, yes we do need some one to figure it out how we can use fill in PDF forms. I consider my self some what knowledgeable about fill in forms, be cause I create many of them and some of them with java script. The only forms or sheets you can manipulate and save on your PlayBook is Word and Excel. PDF form you can only read them not save them but of course you can e-mail them from Playbook as attachments. I think what's happening is when we upload PDF forms to the Smart Phone or the Play Book it is arriving FLATTEN.
    I believe ADOBE should look in to this matter why the fill form arriving to Playbook or Smartphone FLATTEND.
    If any one knows how lets have it.....
