How to Create Forms

I just started using Acrobat 8 Professional. And I have six Social Security forms I need to scan into Acrobat and make them into fillable forms right away. I have read the documenation but I still don't understand how to do what I need.
1. After I fill in the forms I need to print it and save the filled in forms. What settings do I use to do this?
2. What Output Type should I use in my scanner?
3. Should I use OCR?
4. Sometimes it doesn't make the date field and SS number fields. So how can I add them?

  • How to create form in LC to fill and save by Adobe Reader ?

    Hi there,
    please advise me, how I should do form in LifeCycle. I would like to send by e-mail this form, and I would like to be able to open it, fill and save customers by use of the basic Adobe Reader.
    Importantly, the recipient must be able to stop filling it in half and send it on, say, or return to it after a time. When it comes to functions in the same form it is about marked fields, enter text and add files (as attachments).
    Do you have any ideas? Suggestions?
    Best regards,
    Piotr

    You may want to go through this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2013/05/understanding-reader-extensions-licensing.html
    Your usecase can be achieved by using calculations and scripts in LiveCycle Designer created form and using Reader Extensions but go through above blog for licesing as to which product is better for your usecase.

  • How to create forms in mobile app????

    As part of my application i need to create a page which contains the user informations like name,address and phone numbers. Also the user should be able to update the same page?
    How to create the same? Is the option of creating as a form is available in sap.m library????

    The only issues I’ve encountered (which admittedly are a huge PITA when they happen) are slow downloads or dropped connections.
    However, once the app is completed and downloaded I haven’t had any issues at all.
    I suppose the term great is relative here and is used because you’re dealing with a free service.

  • How to create Form based on a table to display multiple record

    Hello All,
    Would somebody please tell me how to create a Form based on a single table ,
    to view and insert multi record based on a single table.In other words I would like
    to have a form as shown below ,where the users can Insert,update,delete,query and so on
    Item Id PArt Number List Price
    100 Item-1 $120.oo
    200 Item-2 $150.00
    300 Item-3 $50.00
    I know I can do it as Single Record block using Tabular Format,but multiple record ?????
    Thanks in Anticipation

    Try this method,
    1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
    and in the master block select one field.
    2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for
    that field(so that nothing will appear in the master block
    of the form).
    3. Before the update (in the Pl/SQL event handler select the 'Save' event and write the following code to avoid updating master block).
    p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
    p_attribute_name => 'MASTER_ACTION',
    p_value => 'None');
    doSave;
    For eg, let's say
    Master is from 'Dept' table and Detail is from 'Emp' table(with join condition Dept.dept_id = Emp.dept_id). In the master remove everything except dept_id field and in the HTML layout for master remove the reference of the dept_id field(you cannot remove this field physically from the master layout). Now the form will look like multirow form rather than master detail form but only problem with this workaround is 'Detail Action' will be present in the detail block.
    I hope this will help you.
    Thanks

  • How to create-Form text field to simultaneously preview the text over an image

    I am trying to make a web page similar to the link below…where when a customer types in the form text field, and simultaneously, the text will preview in another area of the webpage over and image. See example when you create a label @ www.customwinesource.com custom labels…http://www.customwinesource.com/index.cfm?method=storepairing.listPairing&wineryid=auto
    Any help would be much appreciated

    I wasn't able to (easily) find anything in the way of a textfield to type something into that you describe, but you can assign code for input textfields to detect when something changes in them and take action from that event.  How you do it depends on which version of actionscript you are using.

  • How to create Form page using a query-like filter to select editable rows

    Hi!
    Does anyone knows how can I create a Tabular Form page to update a table's data, but using the capabilities offered when creating an Interactive Report page (that is, having the "Search Bar" filtering tool at the top of the form)?
    I mean, is that possible without customizing the page? I ask this because I still don't have that much APEX knowledge and I would prefer to accomplish this by just using the "Create Page" wizard but without doing too much programming afterwards.
    Thanks a lot.

    1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
    and in the master block select one field.
    2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for

  • How to create form or tabbed template and import excel data

    Hi there
    I am wanting to know how I can create a rather comprehensive template that will be copied a number of times on the same page but each time will include different data from an excel spreadsheet.
    The template will need to include quite a bit of layout and placement of text and images. The fields range from data type including names, phone number, email, prices, description and address.  See attached image below of what I am wanting to acheive.
    I'm just not quite sure how to set this up as a form/template in indesign and what the best and fastest way would be.
    There will be about 6-8 blocks to a page.
    Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to create form fields in Adobe Professional version 8

    Hello,
    I have been trying for some time now to get a form in place. I have used an existing form and I am working in Adobe Professional version 8.
    I went to tools, forms and than I thought I had to click on text field tool. But than it asks me to name the text field. I want to keep the name fields blank and have them completed by the persons I will send it to (or actually this form will be posted online). The other persons should be able to open, complete, save and return it by email.
    please advise me what to do.
    Your help section brings me all the time to the Life Cycle which I think is not appropriate for the purpose I need it.

    Thank you for your advises but I have the impression my initial question is still not being answered.
    I have tried to create the fields in Adobe Pro 8 version, via forms, text field tool and named all the fields.
    Than I saved it and enabled the usage rights for Adobe Reader but opening this file from another computer in Adobe Reader, it allows me only to add comments and markups in the document, not filling out the form in the form fields I thought I created before?
    Now what to do? Did I do something wrong with the creation of form fields, can you please describe the exact path/steps to take?
    Appreciate your prompt reply.

  • How to create forms for iPad

    I have created a form in MS Word that contains drop down menus, text boxes, etc. What is the best way to get these on the iPad while maintaining the functionality of the form?

    Many people are using web apps for that purpose. You can publish a web-app with your own server instead of appStore and use it with iPad´s Safari web-browser where you can "install" it to you iPad´s desktop when it looks and feels like real native iOS app. Computer users will usually be able to read it too.
    Check for instance:
    http://biofore.upm.com
    It´s a landscape version so if you use iPad, rotate it to landscape as well.
    If you want to get best appereance, tap arrow button on the left side of your Safari´s address bar and choose Add Home Screen.
    That sample has been made from InDesign by using a product called eDocker Tablet Publisher, you will find more info about it, free trial, etc. at http://www.edocker.com
