How to allow users to edit form

Maybe this isn't a typical use for these forms, but I thought I would give it a try. I need to create product specification forms for my designers to fill out to give to their clients. There are standard fields in the form such as product information, pricing., etc that remain fixed. However, my designers need to be able to edit the form in order to place different product images since there doesn't seem to be an option for users to directly up images into the document(unless I missed it). In Adobe Acrobat Pro, users can edit PDF images and content to suite their specific needs. I need to enable this option on my form when creating them, so my designers can edit forms according to their project. After opening a PDF Form I created in FormsCentral in Adobe Acrobat Pro, I click "Edit Text & Images," but I get a message that "This is a secured document. Editing is not permitted." When creating a form, what do I need to do so that my documents may be edited or is it even possible with this program.
Thanks,

Thank you, that worked! I'm new to Adobe FormCentral and this is the first PDF document I've ever created. I see how it could be beneficial to have forms submitted in the future for questionaires that our clients fill out, however, I thought this might be a useful tool for just creating a PDF document. Maybe there is a better way to go about doing it, but thus far this is the best option I've seen yet unless you can recommend something that would be more effective. I recently became a Creative Cloud member and I just stumbled across FormCentral while looking for a solution to creating these forms. Normally I would have created a document like that in Microsoft Word, however, I thought this would be less time consuming for my designers to fill out. Are you aware of another way that would be more effective? I'm afraid I am not super tech savy, but do learn new programs quite quickly. Thanks for your assistance!

Acrobat Pro X - How to allow user to save form with data

I'm evaluating the trial version to make sure it does what we want. I want the user to be able to save a form to their PC with the data they've typed in. In my search of the forums I found an answer that said to look at File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF but for me all of the further sub-choices are greyed out. Is this a limitation of the trial or am I on the wrong trail? Does the software have the feature we want, and if so, how do I add it to my form?
many thanks for your help

OK I think I answered my own question. When I re-opened the file and looked at the options they were no longer greyed out. That's a strange way for software to work, but I guess that's par for Adobe.

How to allow user print their draft anwsers before sending it as final ?

How to allow user print their draft anwsers before sending it as final in a form central questionnaire ?

Hey MTdev,
Panel close? events cannot be triggered on a VI being viewed or controlled remotely. Some more information on that can be found in the help here:http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/lvprop/vi_panel_closeq/. My suggestion would be to set the Title Bar on the front panel of your remote VI to not be visible so that their only option for closing the window is to click the logout button. Are you using Remote Front Panels(http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3277) to do this instrument control? Using remote front panels allows you to manage a lot of the multiple people accesssing at the same-time type issues so it may be something to look into if you are not already using this method.

Allow user to edit their own Address Book server entry

Hiya.
I'm looking for a way to let users edit their own information in the Address Book Server/Open directory. I've made sure the main group for users is in the AB Read-Write Groups group in WGM.
I've even checked the box in Server Admin that says "Allow users to edit their own contact information", but after adding the account to an address book client and authenticating as a user (For example, myself), I can't edit my own contact info anywhere that will push to the server.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

You'd need to write a php script or something to interface with applescript…

Easy Question: How to identify user roles within form?

Hi folks,
I would like to display/hide button which calls static data maintenance form (from other form) based on current user roles.
If user has role "STATIC_DATA" granted then DISPLAY button (which calls static data form), else DO NOT DISPLAY it.
Any example, how to get user roles within form?
Thanks,
Tomas

I can do it with below code:
declare
l_cnt number;
begin
select count(*)
     into l_cnt
     from user_role_privs
where granted_role = 'STATIC_DATA';
if l_cnt > 0 then
        -- display it
else
     -- do not display
end if;
end;I think, above should work.
Thanks,
Tomas

Anybody knows that how to Allowing user Customization at runtime for portle

Anybody knows that how to Allowing user Customization at runtime for portlet.
What i want is to let user Customization persist to the repository. (not session). bu tmy testing accodring the Jdev 11g guide shows not working for portlet..
Any body knows how to do this for portlet ? Web center 11g
thanks a lot.
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
You can only save runtime customizations to the repository for the users present in jazn-data.xml file (If you are using file based security).
You will have to do the following before you can start saving user customizations:
1. Create Webcenter Template project.
2. Apply ADF Security
3. Use page-definition files for jspx pages.
After this, whatever customizations you do, will be saved to persistence storage.
Better would be to try this on server. Since, before deploying, you run the pre-deployment tool, which will take the MDS Repository path as an input and store all persistence storage there.
If there is nothing in that location, you can be sure something is wrong and debug it.
Hope that was helpful.

How to populate values dynamically & allows user to edit some other columns

Hi..I am new to Apex..please help me to sove it out...
I have a scenario like editing the some of the Customer details where as one field is dynamically populating from a different table.
Columns like Include, Frequency, Communication, Address and Exclude has to be displayed in tabular format and data should be stored in a table called "om_customer_catalog ".
In this "Communication " column value is dynamically populating from a table called "om_customer_settings" and the no. of records in the om_customer_settings table may vary time to time as per the settins in the Admin module.
I want the user to edit all details except Communication column for all the rows which is displayed and the no. of rows should be displayed dynamically as per the settings.
how can i achieve this?...which way i need to proceed like whether report kind of thing..or someother way..
hope some reply....
More Column details:
Include - a Check box with editable(values Y or N)
Communication - text field with display only(values like Promotional Email, All Email etc.)
Frequecny - Drop downbox with editable(values Annually/Monthly/Weekly etc)
Address - Drop down with editable(static values like Me, Father, Mother,Brother etc)
Exclude Reason - text field with editable(any text value)
Apply - a button for saving the changes
thanks in advace...
renjish

Hello Renjish,
Solution is quite tricky, You have to make a procedure which select each row of your tabular form and executes the update statement (customized).
e.g
to select each row of table use
begin
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT
LOOP
insert into table_name values(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i),'PENDING',sysdate,'RESOURCE','','','','');
end loop;
end;
here APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i) will return the value of the first column of selected row. Pick the values and make a cutomized update command.

How to allow users to include a photo when submitting a form

Using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.3144.1.471865
Would anyone out there know how to add the functionality of allowing users who are filling out a form to include a photo when submitting the form?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Lola

Hi,
If you drag an imageField onto the page, when the user clicks on this at runtime, they will be prompted to select an image file.
There is an example of that in this form: http://assure.ly/j1KdNq.
There are more image field examples on our site, but I don't think any of them are set up for the user to select an image. http://assure.ly/ozrNSO.
Hope that helps,

Save form in Reader AND allow users to edit in Acrobat Pro

I have to create a generic form that I can pass on that allows somoene to edit/customize the form for different clients. However, the end users also have to be able to fill in the form and then save that form locally. It seems to me that Acrobat Pro and Reader are cancelling each other out in this regard. I can set up the form just fine in Acrobat Pro, but when I enable the "Save" function for Reader, I can't edit the form anymore in Acrobat Pro.
Full disclosure, I'm still on Acrobat Pro 7 (I had to use a co-worker's Acrobat Pro 8 to set the "Save Form" function for Reader). Have the later versions of Acrobat Pro fixed this issue?

Or You could let the end users without Acrobat use the free PDF-XChange Viewer to fill out and save the form.
http://www.docu-track.com/
(Strange that it is so hard for Adobe to meet this simple need to fill out and save for common users with only the Adobe Reader - with out any "hanky panky" applying with Acrobat)

Hi,
please follow these steps:

- The PDF must be static and NOT dynamic
Then it works.
Take care,

How to allow users to mount a Samba shares on a WXP

Through lots of reading I've managed to get an understanding of how to mount SMB shares at bootup by placing the proper edits in /etc/fstab. While having the shares of the server, running Contribs.org SME Server 6.01 (recently known as Mitel SME Server) and acting as a samba server, being mounted at startup is perfect since the server is always on. This is not the best idea for the XP workstation since it isn't always on. Here is a copy of my present fstab file with x's replacing the passwords.
fstab [B---] 0 L:[ 1+19 20/ 21] *(1085/1086b)= . 10 0x0A
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
//192.168.2.2/stuff /mnt/silicon2 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,user
//192.168.2.105/e-smith /mnt/silicon1 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,users,noauto
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / xfs defaults 0 1
I would like users with an account on the Linux box to mount the remote share on the XP box without needing to SU and consequently need the root password. When trying now to mount "e-smith" (The share on the XP box) as a user using "mount /mnt/silicon1" I get a message about needing to be SU.

To allow users to mount smb shares you need to make smbmnt suid:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
Note however that the user needs to own the directory used as mountpoint. So I don't know how to make 'mount /mnt/silicon1' in your setup work for all users.
For the users to be able to unmount the smb shares as well you need:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now users can do 'smbmount //server/share mountpoint -o username=whatever' or simply 'mount mountpoint' if the details are specified in fstab. To unmount root can do 'umount mountpoint' or users can do 'smbumount mountpoint'.
Don't confuse smbmount with smbmnt - the first is the command you use to mount shares manually, the second is the one that should be suid and is used both by smbmount and by mount -t smb.
Hope this helps.

How to allow user upload file on applet??

Sorry I'm new to programming here, but I'm trying to allow user to upload a file to the server so the program inside the server can user the file as input.
I've noticed that JFileChooser, the ideal class for this, is not allowed on the applet, so I don't know how to go about doing this.
Thanks for any input!

ok
you wish to transfer a file from applet to server.
1. Applet gets the file
the applet needs to access the file System therefor it must b a signed applet to get aound the security restrictions. This is why the JFileChooser doesn't work. Check out the tutorials on jars and applets, particularly the security notes.
2. opens a connection with the server
so the applet has a file and needs to send it. there needs to be a service of some form on the destination computer to execpt the file. Perhaps you write your own perhaps you use HTTP.
3. server software stores the file
where an applet is an mini application that runs within the confines of the web browser. a SERVLET is a service program which runs with in the confines of a server, such as a web server.
this is a lot easier to do HTML rather that applet in my opinion but which ever.

Allow users to save form data

I am throughly confused about what I need, so I'm sorry, I'm sure this thread is a duplicate of several that are out there, but most of it seems to talk over my head.
I have a VERY old version of Adobe Acrobat (version 5.0, yes gasp in horror). I have the VERY old version of Acrobat Distiller (version 5.0). I have a form that was created in these versions of Acrobat. It works perfectly, even in the new version of Reader (v9), excpet that the form data can't be saved, not a shocker.
What software do I need to purchase to get my old form to allow people to save the form data, WITHOUT them having to download any extensions for their Reader?
I hope that makes sense.

Hi,
LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES is part of Adobe's server product and can be very expensive. In addition to the cost of the sever component, you need to pay a fee to Adobe to apply the reader extensions to each form. It is intended for government agencies and large organisations.
The ability to reader enable a form from within Acrobat is intended for ad-hoc forms that won't be going out to a lot of people.
When you design a form in LC Designer, you can specify the target version of Acrobat/Reader (in the File/Form Properties/Defaults). This allows you to check that all of the functionality that you build into the form, will work for your users.
When you reader enable the form it will still work with the target version that you have set in LC Designer.
When you reader enable with the full LC Reader Extension ES server product, you are basically turning ON features for users with Reader.
However when you reader enable using Acrobat, you are turning ON features like allowing users to save data. But at the same time Adobe are turning OFF some features like data connections.
It really depends on how many data processes you want with the form. If it is small then stick with Acrobat. If you are a large organisation looking to improve data collection and processing then you should look at LC Reader Extensions ES.
Hope that helps,
Niall
