How to create a form to be filled out on the iPad?

Hello,
I have created a daily report/timesheet pdf form to be filled out by our jobsite superintendents on their iPads. I have tried everything (including downloading as many free-and some not so free-apps from the app store) and still cannot get my forms to work on the iPads. Most of these will not even open my file. I have no problem purchasing an app, but I would love to know that it will indeed work beforehand.
My questions are:
Can I create a form with Acrobat Pro that can be filled in on an iPad?
What iPad apps actually offer this function?
(If we make it this far) Are there any limitations to the complexity of the forms I create?
Additional Info: I emailed the pdf form document to myself as an attachment. On my desktop, it opens like a normal PDF. On my iPad it is labelled as "winmail.dat" and will only not open.
Thank you.

Thanks George.
Does the PDF Expert app allow you to include drop downs, check boxes, etc in your forms? At the moment, all I need the app for is to fill this form... naturally, we can find more uses for it as we use it, but I would hate to download it only to find that it won't work. Could I by chance email you the form to see if it will work?
Regarding the "winmail.dat" issue, I emailed it in HTML, Rich, and plain. It shows up the same in every one.
Thanks again.

Create fillable forms that automatically fill out a letter

Hi, so I'm new to acrobat (and adobe in general) and I wnated to know if anyone had a way of doing this. So what I want to do is to create a form that takes people's information. It will take things like Names, Phone numbers, emails, etc. Then, it will ask them to choose what kind of form they want to create. So, it could be a letter, or a memo, whatever. Based on their choice, I then want to make another form, with all of their information filled in for them, appear. I've made a form for the first part, but I would like to know if anyone could explain how to do the second part, where it creates the new page for me.

If the end user is using Adobe Reader to fill this out then no, it isn't possible.
I can say whether it would be possible if all parties are using Adobe Acrobat but I doubt that it is.
You chould probably look in to creating a web application that can generate a PDF.

How can I share a form that I filled out without the recipient being able to edit it?

I've created a fillable form to use as a grading rubric. I want to be able to share the completed form with students, but it's imperative that they not be able to change anything. Once the form is filled out, how can I save it as a regular pdf, not a form?

You don't want to use Preflight to flatten form fields since it is buggy for this. Instead use JavaScript (flattenPages method), or use this free JavaScript based tool: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X
Overprint flattening isn't relevant to this.

I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

How to create a form that requires thousands of checkboxes?

Hello forum members,
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I've been searching the internet/forums for the past few hours and I can't seem to find any information on how to create a form with many checkboxes. I do not want to have to give individual names to thousands of checkboxes. I'm hoping there's an easy solution to my problem. Maybe I don't even need to use checkboxes.
Here it is...
I'm a DJ and wedding season is coming up. For each wedding that I do, I usually give the bride and groom a list of my songs and they choose a bunch of songs that they'd like to have at their reception. In the past, I've just been sending them a webpage word document with the songs and they'd send me their selections in a different document or directly in the reply email. I'd like to make this process easy for them (and myself) by making a pdf document where they can simply place a checkmark beside the songs that they want and then send it back to me. As a bonus (if it's possible) i'd like to be able to export the songs that they selected into a separate document so that I don't have to go through the entire pdf (with thousands and thousands of songs) when they send it back to me.
I would be ever greatful if somebody help me or direct me to a link with some additional information.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

George, thank you very much for your quick reply and good advice.

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached to an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it?

Hello Graphicsguy123,
You would need to first create the form ( or Widget in EchoSign) first to generate a url which you can paste it in the email being sent to customers. You would need to make sure you have a Document Cloud Enterprise Premium account in order to create a Widget. If you don't have the account, you can use the trial version to test it. Here is the link:

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

How to create a form in Contribute

i'm new to contribute, i would like to create a
simple form to be filled out on our web page, and when they hit submit
it would be sent to my e-mail.
is any of this possible with contribute? thank you

Short answer: no. You'd have to use some other software (Dreamweaver for example) to setup the form and the form management script.
Contribute is basically only good for one thing: editing existing pages within a Dreamweaver template environment.

You can download the Developer Suite from here:
Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Links to documentation and sample code can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html
Be aware that most of the documentation for Forms 9.04 and 9.0.2 apply to 10.1.2.0.2 in most cases. This may be helpful to know since there are more docs for these older versions.
That said, one of the strengths of the Forms Builder is its Wizards. Without writing any (or at least very little) code you can create a basic application. If you understand the Oracle Database and have a basic knowledge in PL/SQL you should have no problem. Of course a working knowledge of how a web server works is also help since you will need Oracle Application Server to deploy your app if you ever go into production with it.
