How to fill in a PDF form after client fills in HTML form

i guess i need to try this a second time.
i have been to numerous sites where they ask a user to fill in lot of fields with a html web form, and then when all done all that filled in data gets transferred into PDF forms for the client to print out, ertc
tyopical sites i have seen this with are brokerage accounts for stock and commodities. all the major houses use this format, along with electronic signatures, etc ec etc
so, the client fills out an html form, presses enter, and voila a pdf form shows up with all *its* fields filled in with the information the client supplied in the html form.
this is what i am trying to figure out how to do. i have been searching the internet for 10 days now, about 4 hrs a day on this and i still have not found the code for this
my site is PHP, but java i guess would work as well.
any way, i am getting way behind on this project and if anybody knows where the code is to make this hapen at my site i'd be grateful to find out :)
THANKS!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this as we are keen to introduce this option on our own online forms?

How Do I Add A PDF That Can Be Filled Out And Submitted To My Email

I just finished converting an application to PDF using the forms wizard. This works really well as it makes it so they can only fill in the required information and not alter any of the other form. Right now I just have it posted as a downloadable file that they can save fill out and email back in. However what I'm wanting to do is have it where they can just open the PDF in another tab, fill it out and hit submit and have that automatically sent to my email account. What I've done is use:
<a href="digital_application.pdf">Click To View</a>
This in essence will open the application in another tab of the browser where they can fill everything out. However thus far their only option is either a "Print" or "Save" button. I'd like to add a "Submit" button somehow to where it's emailed to an account I've set up, or have it save to a file on the server. I don't know if this is something I have to code into the site, or If I can make a button on the PDF itself, or there's an option to make the PDF display a "Submit" button, just need a little help. Thanks!

You use the 'submit' method to submit the PDF's FDF to web based script page and have that page perform the email function.

Can I save each form after I fill them out? I have the same form to fill out for 250 customers and need to save each ones information. Will it do that?

Hi,
Yes, you can save each form after filling the information, but each with a different name.

Forms 10g, how to send ReportServer generated PDF directly to client printr

Hi
We are implementing Forms 10g now, at we are facing quite a big problem - we haven't found a way how to send Report Server generated PDF directly to printer installed in clients computer.
Forms 10g and ReportServer are installed in the same machine and clients are accessing Forms10g through IE. Installing all the printers to the Forms10g server is not an option!
Is there any way of doing it?
Probably we could write a java bean that can read in the byte array and directly somehow send it to clients printer(java can read client printer list) but at this moment I have no idea how to accomplish it - haven't investigated it yet.
So if anyone has working software, please let me know how you achieved it.
Thanks!

may be this will help

How do I take a pdf flyer after conversion and replace the text?

I downloaded the acrobat program that will convert a pdf file into a Word document. Now that I am there how do I replace text on this flyer to my own?

Once you have converted the original PDF file into a Word document, you'll need to open the document in Microsoft Word to do the editing.

How can I access restored pdf files after an operating system reload?

was running Windows 8.1 w/ latest updates. developed network properties errors. backed up all docs and restored PC back to Windows 8. Now, the restored pdf file security settings will not allow opening.

Gosh. I found that I need to open the properties page for a pdf file; go to the security tab and click the advance button. Then click 'change' to the right of the owner line, and add me as a user, and then give myself full permissions.
OK, NOW, how can I do this globally at one time to affect all of my pdf files?

How can I open a pdf document after downloading is complete and there is no screen reference to file name?

I'm having a problem trying to locate a downloaded PDF file. I'm using Windows 7, and have Adobe Reader XI installed. From a given site some downloads will appear with a listing of individual pages within the document, or there will be a window appearing that has a series of icons to print or scroll, etc. At other times, from the same source & type of document, I will get a representatrion of doanload progress, then a "DONE" when completed. There is no notification anywhere on my screen as to file name or where to look for this download. I even go into "Documents", downloads, recent places, etc. to try and find a listing, to no avail. I also open Adobe Reader to see if there is any clue, again, to no avail. Incidentally, when Adobe Reader opens, there isn't any provision for scrolling, yet there appears to be additional information below the bottom edge of my screen. I sure would appreciate some help on this problem.

On my Windows 7, with any browser, all downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.
If you can't find your downloaded PDF docs, try a search for *.pdf

Sending "filled in" PDF forms to iphone sometimes empties the form? Why?

Why do standard "fill in the blank" adobe forms after being "filled in" drop all the "fill ins" when they arrive at the iPhone, but hold the information when sent to standard Apple and PC computers ?

The form that I made in Designer is not certified, when I open it in Adobe Reader I cannot save any data entered into the form. So that cannot be the problem. Since I certified the file in Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Mac, I have no problem telling users to upgrade to Acrobat Reader 8.0 or 9.0, but this cross-platform issue remains. I think it may have something to do with layout of the text boxes, like fonts, colors, borders, etc.

How do I make my pdf fillable?

How can I make my PDF fillable?

Hi fill in a form,
If you want to edit the PDF file itself, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
As far as creating a fillable form, there are several options. You can use Acrobat for that as well, or use Adobe FormsCentral.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Sara

How can an applet retrieve the values of a HTML form shown in a JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm doing an applet that contains a JTree and a JEditorPane
among other components. Each node of the JTree represents some
information that is stored in a database, and whenever a JTree
node is selected, this information is recovered and shown in
the JEditorPane with a html form. To make the html form,
the applet calls a servlet, which retrieves the information of
the node selected from the database. This information is stored
like a XML string, and using XSLT, the servlet sends the html
form to the applet, which shows it in the JEditorPane.
My problem is that I don't know how I can recover new values
that a user of the application can introduce in the input fields
of the html form. I need to recover this new values and send them
to another servlet which store the information in the database.
If someone could help me I'd be very pleased.

Html form in an email body

hey,
Actually i, have a requirement to send an html form in the body of an email message( couple of radiob button questions, some checkboxes, etc.) and then read the recipients answers into a java program.
when i tried sending this form in an email. It went perfectly, but when the recipient click ed on reply, he could not fill the form as only the (html formatted)text was there and all the html controls were gone ie no circle for radio button, no square for checkboxes, etc.
Can anyone please help me...Thanks in advance.

I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to send a filled in html form
as part of an email reply. Normally what I would expect (assuming the
mail client supports displaying html forms) is that the form would
appear in the received message and the user would fill it out there
and then click a "submit" button in the form to send the results back
via http. The user would not "reply" to the message.
Better would be to direct the user to a web page that contained the
form and let them fill it in there.
