How to create online fillable form using acobrat 7.0 ?

I want to create an online fillable form but seems like a fill able PDF form is good to enter the information when end user wants to print the document with the filled information. They won't be able to save the filled information unless they have adobe acrobat and every user don't have acrobat. Majority of users will have adobe reader only which does not have the feature of saving the document with the filled information.
How can I receive the information from this fill able PDF form ?
I have seen on many website that, they people can fill out the form online and submit the information.
I know a way too add submit button using acrobat 7 designer but that is very complicated because the user will have to send xml data and i will have to import the xml data into the original pdf form which is very time consuming and not a good idea when i have to deal will 1000 forms every week.
when a personal is filling a fillable form (which i will upload on my website), that pdf form can't be send directly to me with data in it ?
this seems to be very complicated.

For AA7, you can set the file to submit the data, not the entire form. You would have the FDF data file submitted to you. The e-mail feature is not very reliable, but that was not your question. When you receive the FDF file, you may be able to click it and have it open in the form (if you did not move the form and such -- it has some folder information in the FDF). Otherwise, you can open the form and use the form tools to import the data -- forgot where it is in AA7. The end result of the import will be the same display as the submitter had in the form. You can then save the form to a different name. There may be some data handling within Acrobat 7, I don't remember. If not, you might want to get the FDF Toolkit from Adobe and set up some data manipulation with the toolkit to put data in a database or such.

I want to create a fillable form using the templates that were in adobe acrobat

Hi all,
I am having trouble finding the templates that were offered in the previous version of Adobe. Before, when I wanted to create a form, I could simply click "create form" select from template, and I had access to dozens of varieties of forms. Now when I try the same thing, it only lets me scan in a paper form. I don't have a paper form. That's why I'm trying to make one.
Any advice would be appreciated, I have tried to search for my question but the help function keeps redirecting me back to "how to prepare a fillable form" and tells me to use a paper document. Why did this simple task become so difficult all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards
Michael

That was the FormsCentral designer software. Adobe has decided to discontinue FormsCentral, so it wasn't included with Acrobat DC.
The usual way to create a form in Acrobat is to create the layout in a program such as InDesign or Word and create a PDF. You can then add the fields in Acrobat, which can attempt to automatically add fields where it thinks they belong.

How to create a MD form using dynamic page ?

Rahul and Sharmila,
You have answered several of my queries earlier and I am thankful for them.
I have been trying to creating a MD form using dynamic page and I haven't fiqured it out. I need help. You both advised me on creating a simple form using dynamic page. The complexity changes drastically when I have to create a MD form. Has no body ever tried to create a MD form with dynamic page?
I haven't heard from you anything either. I am stuck with this and I need help urgently. Would you kindly tell me if this is possible and how ? Otherwise, I will stop crying for help on this.
Thanks for your kind attention.

How to Create an Input Form using a Transient View Object?

I would like to use a Transient View Object to store data from input forms across a multiple-page enrollment process.
My question is how to I create the input form using the Transient View Object on the .jspx page? Do I drag/drop an ADF creation form onto the page? Or, use a regular ADF form? Do I need to create the initial row progammatically?
Just looking for some general directions or set of instructions? I've looked at the SRDemo example (Globals Transient View Object), but I'm not sure how they created the page at design time?
thanks

Well following the SRDemo example, this seems to work:
1. Create Transient View Object
2. Add to Application Module as a Data control
3. Add to .jspx page as an ADF Form (not as an ADF Create Form)
4. Add following code to Application Module containting Transient VO instance:
protected void prepareSession(Session session) {
super.prepareSession(session);
insertTransientViewObjRows();
private void insertTransientViewObjRows() {
ViewObject transientvo = getViewObj1();
transientvo.clearCache();
transientvo.insertRow(transientvo.createRow());
}

How to create a fillable form that can be saved in Acrobat Reader

I'm new with fillable forms. I looked at it several months ago and I was sure I saw something about making the filled forms saveable in Reader but now I can't seem to find it. Anybody know?

Thanks! Not sure exactly how to extend reader rights, but I imagine I'll figure it out.

How to create software request form using Info path functionality?

Hi All,
i am trying to create a Software Request Form using Info path functionality. Following are the steps:
1. Users will fill out the form with all necessary fields.
2. once they click on Submit button, it will send an email to two specific groups with a link so that they can see the form and Approve/Deny or can put comments on that.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi Rakib,
There are many ways you can achieve this.
Either by Creating a SharePoint list and then modify it using InfoPath to get all your required fields added
or
Use InfoPath application and select any template or blank form template to get all your required fields added and then publish it to SharePoint site
For the second step you can create an OOTB workflow which can send email to view an approve items using Approval workflow feature
For the advance notification you can use SPD workflows as well.
Refer this article for more on InfoPath and SPD integration - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Step-By-Step-build-30f84363
Let us know if this helps, thanks

Here is some code that creates xml for any SQL that returns a ResultSet. Note this uses my default out-of-the-box XML template, but you can quickly create and use your own templates to generate xml to look anyway you desire.
FormattedDataSet fds=FormattedDataSet.createInstance();
Map miscData=new HashMap();
map.put("rootElement", "musicgroups");
String xml=fds.getFormattedDataSet("select * from groups", miscData, "xml1");
String xml has the value:
<musicgroups>
<row rowID='1'>
<group_id>1</group_id>
<group_name>Rolling Stones</group_name>
<type>Rock</type>
</row>
<row rowID='2'>

How to create fill-in form using "Pages".

Is there a way to create a standard form where the document starts with text that cannot be edited. Then, the user, could use a tab to fill in information.
ie. A template of a fax form where the tab is used to fill in changable date, (phone #).

AFAIK, Pages does not support this. To create forms, you can try Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or NeoOffice. (Be warned, it is not simple in any of them).

4. after devloping a new smart form or converting script into smartform what you need to do is go to V/83 transaction give Output Type which is associated with script and Application area (for purchase order i.e. EF). then press ok screen will display here you can change the name of your form name under the form column.

How to create a fillable form without distribution information?

I'm looking to create an informational sheet (PDF) in which some of my offices can insert their own contact information into a single box. I want to get rid of the purple box on the top of the form which talks about distribution which will confuse many. Is it possible to create a plain PDF with one box to insert information into without all the fancy stuff to send the form back? I don't need to track it or get it back!
Thanks

How to automate PDF fillable form using QTP?

Hi,
I have a test scenario wherein it involves filling up and verifying the contents of a PDF form. I have the following installed:
- Adobe Reader 9.2
- QTP 10
I followed the steps in the pdftesttoolkit and was able to see the pdf objects but wasn't able to record any when I fill up the form. Is the Adobe Reader 9.2 sufficient for this or do I have to install Acrobat?

Yes, you can automate using Reader. I automated using QTP 10 and Reader 9.3/9.4.
Try specifying the path to Reader explicitly in the Record & Run Settings dialog, then restart QTP and Reader.

How to create an online fillable form for mobile devices, tablets and smartphones.

How can I create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices, tablets and smarphones?
I already created an "online fillable form" with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for PCs and MACs but this form can not be filled using mobile devices, it can only be downloaded.
Thanks.

Hi George,
I gather from your reply that I won't be able to create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Correct?
If Adobe does not have another software similar to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, would you please suggest me any other means of creating "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices?
Would you think that an HTML developed form would be a fair substitute for the PDF fillable forms that I use for PCs and MACs?
Thanks,
Alvaro

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Hi Gurprit,
A null value is being passed at runtime. Make sure that you enter values when filling in the form.
Also check for the cardinality of the nodes being used. You can also initiliaze your value attributes as follows:
In wdDoInit() method:
wdContext.currentNodeAElement.setValueA("");
Context is as follows:
RootNode
|____NodeA
        |_____ValueA
Hope it helps.

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.
