How do I create a PDF form for submission that can be used by Acrobat Reader only users?

I am attempting to create a PDF document in Acrobat Pro with fields that can be submitted (via email) by users using only Acrobat Reader.
I have tried changing the properties of the 'Submit' button, although I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone please help?
C.

I created a form using Adobe LiveCycle and added the submit via e-mail button. One change which I made was in the XML script I changed submission type to pdf, so that thepdf form itself would be e-mailed. This works fine if I use Adobe Pro 8, but when I tried the same using only Adobe Reader 7.0, it would not let me e-mail the form along with a message "This operation is not permitted".
Any comments?
Thanks

How do I create a Pdf form for others?

I have finally figured out how to make a pdf form, but my client wants to be able to attach the file to his e-mail and send it to his relations.
How do I create a pdf form with his adress in stead of my own e-mailaccount?
Tried to adjust my id in the preferences on my Mac, but that is not a safe way I guess...
Can anybody help me out, I'm stuck...
Bob

Yes, I want to enable the client's relations to be able to click on a link
in the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his e-mail address.
Now a purple bar shows up when a 'relation' opens the pdf form.
In this bar is a button included for sending the form, but they have to
confirm the adding of their reaction to the 'reactions-file'. This refers to
the location where I authenticallly saved the file (on my hard disk).
I can adjust the reply e-mail adress by temporarily adjusting my id in
Acrobat preferences, but I don't know the future location of the reaction
file.
It's a difficult question, but it's based on the question: Is it possible to
make a pdf form for somebody else; so they can send en receive the reactions
on their moment and their wanted location?

are you saying the email address is on the pdf as plain text? or are you

How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents. We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat. I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
But none have worked.
I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark. And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again.
Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
Thanks in advance

How do I Create a Tabular Form for an Intersection Table

Situation
There are three tables involved (PROJECT, STAFF, TASK)
PROJECT(PROJECT_ID, PROJECT_NAME)
STAFF(STAFF_ID, STAFF_NAME)
TASK(PROJECT_ID, STAFF_ID, HOURS)
There is a many to many relationship between PROJECT and STAFF. The intersection table is TASK.
Issue
I would like to create a tabular form for the TASK table. I would like to be able to click on a button (Add Row) to add a row to the existing tabular form. The row will have a LOV for the PROJECT_ID (showing PROJECT_NAME) and one for the STAFF_ID (showing STAFF_NAME) and a free form text field for the hours.
I've tried a bunch of different ways but am unable to acheive this functionality. I must be doing something wrong. This sort of thing is trivial.
Any guidance/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Adding a new surrogate key column to an existing table is not that big a deal.
alter table t add (pk int primary key);
create a before-insert row-level trigger to populate the key;Other than that, you are out of luck w.r.t the wizards. Yes, you can define a 2nd PK column in the wizard, but then the 2 PK columns becomes read-only (but you want to update them).
You can write your own tabular form using htmldb_item APIs and your own after submit processes to process the updates. See the manual Tabular Form Howto in the documentation.

Creating Accessible PDF Forms for Iphone

Hi.
I'm creating a PDF which has multiple check box form fields, these then need to be save by the recipient and emailed back to our marketing department. The only problem is it's null & void on my Iphone (blackberry results pending) — the check boxes simply don't work, no matter how hard I bang away at the screen. Does anyone know how I can enable these to function on the Iphone? Or is it possibly the case that the Iphone doesn't yet support this technology.
Although the latter I find hard to swallow, if true will get in touch with Apple next week (if this forum proves fruitless) & post results here when they reply.
Thanks in advance.
Claire
NB: Hyperlinked images and text hyperlinks created with 'link' tool in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro. also disappear.

Hi there,
there are several iPhone apps that claim to be able to complete PDF forms. I have a similar issue, that when I see a client I need to be able fill in a form with them, so have been looking for some kind of solution. Unfortunately for me, i have yet to find one that integrates with other apps i use on iPhone, but may well be worth a look if thats any help. Search PDF forms in the App Store.

How would we create an online form for doctor review?

We need to replicate an OSHA form on a secure website for employees to fill out. The system would alert a doctor via email that forms need to be reviewed. The doctor logs in, reveiws the answers and clears or fails the employee, then attaches a digital signature. The form would be routed via encrypted email to receipient.

We don't really support this specific workflow.
You might be able to achieve what you want but it would include some manual steps :
You can create a form and distribute it via FormsCentral
The doctor can receive email notification when data is submitted
The doctor can log in FormsCentral to see the data and "Download Response as PDF Form" to see the data in a PDF format instead of looking at the table.
The doctor can then delete the row in the Response Table (see he now has a PDF version of the data)
I'm not sure what clear or fail the employee mean in regard of the form (is this something you mark on the form?)
The doctor would need to manually to use another Adobe service, EchoSign, to sign the PDF response.

The doctor would need to manually contact the email the signed PDF or contact the receipient.

How do I create a PDF from ID, so that when the PDF is opened in Reader, the text is editable?

Three different members of Adobe Support have unfortunately been unable to resolve this problem so I am pinning all of my hopes on my fellow users! Please Help!
I have been sent a PDF by my client (created via their previous agency) which when opened in Reader (not Acrobat) enables me to edit the existing text (in the existing fonts, granted only Helvetica) and re-save it as a hi-res PDF.
I have tried virtually everything to get this to work without success, I can create 'editable fields' but this deletes the existing text and inserts a blank box over the top which I can type into with the default 'Times'.
What will ultimately happen is that I will design the documents in English and then they will be uploaded to an ftp for download at various offices around the world. Therefore they need to translate what we have written but retain the same document design.
I know this is possible because I have the PDF in front of me, I also know that PDFs in essence weren't designed to be editable but apparently it is now achievable and very useful if I can get the blasted thing to work
Very many thanks, your opinions will be most appreciated!
Regards

Well, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further.

How do you Save a pdf form automatically to a designated folder using designated fields in the form?

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a “service excellence feedback” form. The idea of this form is to have a blank form living in our company’s intranet page to be used by multiple departments that receive feedback and then have a chain of updated investigations and follow up to be documented within the same file.
The top portion is to be filled out by the department receiving the feedback. It collects all the pertinent data needed including the person giving the feedback’s First and Last name. Once the top portion of the form is filled out I want to have a “submit” button that will do;
1. Save the pdf automatically to a designated folder AND automatically save it under the last and first name that is entered in the form. So the form will be saved in the designated folder under “Smith, John.pdf”. I have already figured out how to format the button to “save as” however I would like to eliminate the person filling the form out to have ANY responsibility to naming and saving the file to the correct folder.
2. After it is saved I want it emailed to a specific email address (which I have figured out.)
Once the steps above are completed and it is emailed an investigation will be performed by me and I will document my findings and then send it by another “submit” button which will save the document (writing over the previously saved version with this new version) and then emailed on to the next person to provide the next step of follow up. When the next person in line finishes they will hit another “submit” button that will again save the new version and send it back to me. We continue this back and forth with a few more follow-ups performing the same save and send options.
I need help in how to write a script/java to perform this task of saving. I have already figured out how to program the button to email the form. Help please!!! I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Also, read the following tutorial: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

How do I create a pdf version of amap that is searchable?

I have a map that was created using ARCVIEW. It has center line , major roads, and building points indicated on the map. Each building point is assigned a location number. I wish to search for the location number and the form goes to that point and zooms in on the area around it.
Thanks for any help with this

To be able to search for a text in a PDF it needs to contain "real" text. You can try to run Text Recognition on it in order to convert the text in the image to real text, which would then be searchable using the built-in Find command.

How do I create a PDF from a scanner that is installed on my Mac but not recognized by Adobe?

I have recently downloaded a copy of Adobe Acrobat. I would like to use my scanner to create PDF's through Adobe Acrobat. The problem is that when I attempt to create a document within Acrobat, I cannot seem to chose the scanner, it is not available. The scanner is an HP Photosmart 5510 and has been installed on this computer for years. Please help.

Many of the HP Multi Purpose Units you have to Manually switch to Scanner In System Preferences > Printer & Scanners.
Before the scanner will show up in Acrobat.

Create PDFs that can be edited in Acrobat Reader?

All,
Is it possible to create a PDF (designed in Indesign CC 2014/Mac, and exported as PDF in Acrobat Professional XI) that is then a) editable in Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.09) and b) is of the quality and has fonts embedded to act as a print quality PDF?
We seemed to have achieved this last year in a somewhat cumbersome manner but now on repeating the same process (Comments) Adobe prompts you to upgrade to Professional. Have features been disabled? Is there a way of doing this still? An efficient way?
We are trying to create a series of advertisement templates that the client can just edit certain text in.
Adobe, if you are listening... in the absence of not being able to email you directly, please help us out!

1. My mistake, for clarity the Client needs to edit the text in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.09).
2. I know that, but Client is insisting and I am looking for a definitive answer to end the matter
3. Yes I know, however we have advert templates that may contain a headline such as 'Property For Sale in <xxx> Area' and body copy that says: 'Thinking of selling your <xxx> Area property? Then contact your <xxxxx> branch...' (with <xxx> indicating areas the client needs to input text into a print-ready PDF in the correct embedded font, styled as per the brand guidelines (font size, font, font colour, justification) in Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.09).
4. That's what I thought, RE typographic control. To be clear by using the forms method it is not possible to style type? Nor is it suitable for high quality printing output?
5. This is an interesting point as yes our Client would need to save the files they've edited in Reader, so what issues would be faced?
6. We tried making the text editable whilst retaining the typographic style via Comments, but it involved exporting and drawing individual text boxes in a manual way.
I have suggested the Client upgrades to Acrobat Professional, besides that what would you suggest?
Much appreciate your support,

Formats for graphs that can be use in Labview like jpg,bmp or etc.

what kind of formats can be used?? anyone knows??

The driver for the scope will return actual data you can graph and analyze. Since you did not include the important information of make and model of the scope, you'll have to find that on your own. Start at the Instrument Driver Network.
