How do I create forms from a scan document

I work with scans and regular pdf docs which require text boxes to be placed and then text added. Some of the text is repetitive like Name and Address etc but some maybe unique like price and quantity. How do I create a form so all blank spaces or underlined spaces get a text box and is it possible to add a macro which will fill the text boxes with the repetitive stuff. Thanks

You will need the Professional version of Acrobat because this version provides the Acrobat Forms Tool and LiveCycle Designer program either of which can create form fields. You choice of product will depend upon what you want to accomplish and how well either product will meet that need. Both products can connect to SQL data bases and both can import data from properly formatted files.
You might want to OCR the scans and add tags to the elements of the OCRed document so you could use the "automatic field recognition" feature of version 8. Not perfect,but it could save work.

How do I creat a filliable form from a scan document?

How do I create a fillable form from a scan word document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Hi melaniev10032955,
You might need to follow these steps to convert word into fillable PDF form:
Open the scanned word document
Click File> Print> Adobe PDF
A PDF file would be created that would automatically open in Acrobat XI pro
At this point, you would have a basic PDF file which still needs to get converted into fillable form
Choose "Tools> Text Recognition> In this File" to run OCR to make your scanned doc searchable.
Now, go to "Tools> Forms> Create"
Acrobat will ask some questions. On the first screen, make sure 'Use an existing file' is selected and then click Next.
On the next screen, 'Use the current document' must be selected.
You might need to edit few fields manually. Then, just click Preview button on the top and check how you PDF form appears.
Try this out and let me know if you face any problem.

Anubha

How to stop creating tabs from newly open documents PSE8 Mac?

I use PSE8 for Mac for scrapbooking. Sometimes I open all at once a lot of images from Bridge into my workspace so I can manipulate them on a new page. However, they open as a big tabbed mass onto the workspace. It is driving me crazy. Sometimes I can pull them apart and sometimes I can't. I want them to open as a bunch of floating windows, some of which I will minimize and others I will work with right away. I want them all to show up in the project bin. If I go to window -> images -> float all in windows, I've learned that I can separate them. is there some box to check somewhere so that they don't open as tabs in the first place?
thank you for your help.
Hanna

Hi,
Instead of reseting your preferences every time you face this, you canjust go to Edit > preferences> select the option : Allow Floating documents in Full edit mode. With this option selected, you will have all your photos opened as floating windows.
Cheers ,

How can I make Acrobat stop shrinking scanned documents??

Very fr
ustrated in the fact that every time I scan a document for various purposes, the end result has been shrunk
so that only certain areas of the document are seen in the .pdf file. It seems to happen
especially with documents with alot of lines. My goal is to scan a document, and have it look exactly like the document with no shrinkage. Please help!

I have the same issue with my Xerox Documate 152. I'm trying to create a fillable form from a scanned document, but I need the user to print only the fields onto an original form.
When I scan the document -- and I've tried it as a .pdf and as a .tiff -- it is significantly different from the original. When you hold the two up together in light, you can see how the scanned one is completely misaligned. Looks like nearly a half inch vertically and maybe about 1/16th of an inch horizontally. That means that when I create the form from the scanned document, the fields do not print onto the original form in the right places.
This isn't an Acrobat issue given that the same problem occurs with a .tiff file, but does anyone have a solution? The scanned document simply doesn't match the original. I can't find an answer elsewhere online.
Thanks!

How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

Secondly, you used capital latters which are being treated as Shouting Language. So, always try to switch off the Capslock of your keyboard.
Thirdly, you are very lazy to serach on forum or google for your problem instead of waiting someone to anwer your question.

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.....
