How to fill up pdf forms & sign pdf contracts using digitizer pen & tablet?

Greetings,
I travel a lot and bring tons of documents for clients to sign. As I am trying to cut down on travel weight, i fancied upon the idea of using a digitizer such as the Genius EasyPen i405 to fill up pdf forms and sign contracts so i wouldnt have to scan, save and email the forms back to the office thousands of miles away. I would like to know if it is possble to do that using such a device. If its possible, how? I use acrobat X. Any advise you can give would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soonest. Thank you.

Thanks for your response jallisy. I just thought about this because i read somewhere that the pen acts like a mouse cursor when you move it around the digitizer. I figured the pen could act as a mouse while the digitizer could act as a mouse pad, as such the size doesnt really matter, considering you need to press a button on the pen to engage the digital ink and you use the computer screen as your guide. I havent really tried one but am just starting to explore the idea as tablets like the Ipad are now allowing users to fill up forms and sign pdfs with a finger or a capacitive pen. Youtube offers all these interesting pdf signing and editing with the Ipad. I just really dont want an Ipad. I still think a solution is just around the corner. But i am not willing to buy an expensive tablet with limited storage and productivity features over a real laptop.
The genius site for the pen stated that i can sign microsof office docs but no pdf was mentioned. I guess they have a special software for that but the people at genius havent gotten back to me yet. Another way i was thinking about was converting all the pdfs to word, sign the word document and then save as a pdf again ... the document is prone to be edited though and formats could be accidentally changed so was really thinking about doing this directly with a PDF instead.

    What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

  • How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

    How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

    Using Form Central you can distribute your form as a web-based HTML form, a fillable PDF form, or both.
    You can copy the URL or the embed code for the form and post it on your website. When a respondent clicks the link, the fillable form opens in a browser window.
    The only exception: These options don’t apply to fillable PDF forms that you imported into Adobe FormsCentral.
    Please refer to the article http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSd789abd336388b16-9d277de12da94c8037-8000. html#WS49f7d3dd80da808f7c9fcbc138d00a7399-8000.

  • How do I submit my form as PDF in email?

    I just completed a PDF form with a Submit by email button, I was able to set the email id but when i press Submit by Email button, it attaches an XML. How do I make LiveCycle Designer save the form as pdf and attach it to the set email id? Help please

    Open your form in Acrobat Professional.  Using the Advanced pull down menu choose, "Extend Features in Adobe Reader".  You'll get a warning message which includes the following note - "Once reader enabled, certain functions,such as editing document content or inserting and deleting pages will be restricted." Read so you are sure this is what you want then choose Save Now.  Reader rights are now enabled.
    To answer your question on usage rights, I went right to the acrobate users group and copied their indepth explanation
    "To summarize the EULA as it relates to enabling PDFs, you are granted permission for enabling a PDF for a maximum of 500 uses. This means that if you post a PDF enabled form on your Web site and 500 people fill out the form, you're within the licensing agreement. If you enable a form where more than 500 people fill out and submit the form back to you, you're not complying with the licensing in the EULA. There are many uses for staying within the 500 limit. You might want to enable files used as a purchase order form, a travel expense form, a vacation leave form, etc. The form can be used by several Adobe Reader users many times, but needs to stay within the 500 use limitation.
    For a huge number of appliications this new enabling feature is designed for people who don't have industrial strength needs for forms distribution that require purchase of LRES. A charity golf tournament, a small conference, a PTA event, etc. are all likely candidates for using the new enabling features in Acrobat Professional."

  • Convert filled out InfoPath form to PDF

    Hi all
    I have this basic setup:
    An InfoPath formular is deployed to Forms Server, and a user fills it out. When the user submits the form, I need to somehow convert the form to PDF and attach it to an email sent to the user.
    Now, this should be done in .NET code. I am still not quite sure if I will do it as an event handler on the Forms Server og if I will let the document go through BizTalk and let it to the conversion... but in any case, what I have is an .XML file that is actually the filled out form and I need to convert it to PDF that matches how the form looks like, naturally.
    I have seen this thread:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/9f43f377-dfd6-4c6e-a361-315bf30f3c91 about it, and I ahve tried doing what it says. But I can't get it working.
    I have installed this one:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en and it seems to work - I can now save as PDF in Word, Excel and so on.
    Then I created a Winforms program (it wont always be in a winforms program, but for testing purposes...) and I did this:
    1. Add the InfoPath Form control to the toolbox (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl.dll)
    2. Drag the Control which now appears in my tool box to my winform.
    Then I added this code to some event of the form:
    string file = "";
    formControl.Open(file);
    formControl.XmlForm.CurrentView.Export(".pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);
    Now, the issue is, that the "Export" method and the "ExportFormat" enum are not recognized and therefore give compile errors.
    The only difference between my using statements and the ones in the thread above is that I do not have this one:
    using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl;
    since that name space does not seem to exist - I only have the Microsoft.Office.InfoPath name space. Yes, the Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl.dll is referenced in my project.
    Any thoughts?
    My setup:
    Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5 SP1
    Office 2007, English
    Windows XP

    I got your sample project, it compiles without any errors nor warnings.
    And then I made some changes to the code so it can actually work:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using InfoPath = Microsoft.Office.InfoPath;
    namespace TestInfoPathFormControl
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    public Form1()
    InitializeComponent();
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    string template = Path.Combine(
    Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath),
    "Template1.xsn");
    this.formControl1.NewFromFormTemplate(template);
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    this.formControl1.XmlForm.CurrentView.Export(@"D:\test.pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);
    Then I hit F5, the app runs and I can get my test.pdf.
    Don't know why it doesn't compile on your side.
    I tried on:
    Visual Studio 2008 SP1
    Office 2007 SP2 (Beta)
    Windows 7 Beta
    And
    Visual Studio 2008 SP1
    Office 2007 SP1
    Windows Vista SP1
    The file version of Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.dll is 12.0.4518.1014, assembly version is 12.0.0.0.
    Could you also check that assembly on your side?
    Can you see the following memebers from your project's object browser?
    They should live in Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.dll.

  • Converting a pdf form to pdf doc so it can't be altered.

    I have a pdf form that I use to complete test reports for the city.  I then need to send that completed form to the customer and city but I want to send it as a pdf document so it can't be altered.  How can I do this?  I use to be able to print to Create PDF but now it's not available so I have tried this Create PDF online but still can not get it to save as just a pdf doc.

    Hi Diego237,
    If I understand you correctly you have a fillable PDF form that you fill with some report information, then you send that PDF form to customers via email, but you don’t want them to be able to altering it.
    You may use Adobe Acrobat to set/change restrictions for your PDF document – to specify what your customers could do with the document. For that just execute the following steps:
    1. Open your already filled PDF form document in Acrobat
    2. Chose File> Properties, select Security tab in Document Properties dialog.
    3. Choose Password Security in Security Method popup menu – it opens “Password Security – Settings” dialog. In Permissions area Select check-box “Restrict editing and printing of the document.
    4. In “Printing Allowed” drop down menu specify allowed printing options
    5. In “Changes Allowed” drop down menu specify “None” or otherwise whatever you want your customers be able to do with your PDF form.
    6. You need to provide password (for you to remember so that only you will be able to change that document again when needed),
    7. You need to Save that document for your new restricted permissions to take effect.  Then close and reopen the document – and verify permissions in Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. And if that’s what you intended – you could email that PDF document to your customers
    Now if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat yet but only free Reader, you would need to download a free trial version of Acrobat XI  Pro from here.
    And if that solution is working for you, please check out Adobe Acrobat Plus pages:
    https://www.stage.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    on how you could upgrade your CreatePDF subscription to Acrobat Plus subscription to allow you full right to download and use Acrobat XI Pro desktop application on your computer further on.

  • PDF Form to PDF document

    Hello.
    Is it possible to convert a PDF Form to a PDF document?
    I created PDF Form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 and put it on the website so our users can fill in over the Internet.
    Thanks to Ulf I Anderssons sample code, I was able to use ASP.NET page to extract form field values and store them into our SQL database.
    We know how to recreate the PDF Form with the data filled in, but the final product should be a PDF document so all the fields must be non-editable. And we are using Acrobat Professional 8.1.
    I guess we can lock the form fields, but we should be able to programmatically save as a PDF document, right..?

    ExportPDF is not, in my opinion, the least bit suitable for forms. Forms need to stay as PDFs.

  • Submit PDF form as PDF The complete document

    I'd like to setup a PDF form where I can send the complete PDF document to our web server. I'm just curious how I would do something like this in PHP? What data is being transmitted and how do I allow the web server to capture it? I saw how to do it with HTML, but I'd like to figure out how to get this to work. Thanks!

    I'd suggested flattening the form fields, which converts them to regular page contents. There won't be any interactive fields after you do this though. It is possible to flattten just certain fields so that your script would still work if the form is viewed in a compatible PDF viewer, but this would require a custom script.
    Here's a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that you can use to flatten the fields: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
    It could be customized to exclude certain fields.

  • Can not print a PDF form to PDF

    I have a form set up.  When complete I use the PRINT command to print the form/pdf to a PDF so it becomes uneditable.  I just install Adobe Pro 9.  This worked with Adobe Pro 8.
    Also an odd side note.  I have 2 standard uses using reguler adobe and they can open the PDF containing the form, fill it out and then print to a PDF.
    Anyone know why my 9 Pro will not?

    All Products are up to date with the latest verison to each.
    Here is the flow.
    Created both template in Adobe LiveCycle 8.0.  I have 8.0 pro, others had standard 8.0 or even 7.0 (all with latest patches/updates).
    I then updated to Adobe Pro 9, and others to 9.0 Standard (all with latest patches/updates).
    Since I was update to 9 pro.  I then opened up the forms created in Adobe LiveCycle 8.0 (mentioned above) with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, which came with my 9 Pro.  I made sure that everything was okay, and saved in the new version.  Not sure this even matters, but I did as a procaution.
    Now, my users on 9 Standard can open and fill out form, then print to PDF (to prevent editting to whom it is sent to).
    For me, being on 9 Pro, I can open in Adobe 9.0 Pro, fill it out, but get the error mentioned in my first post above, unable to print......
    What gives?

  • Unable to Split pdf form containing Digital Signature using Assembler

    Hi All,

    Hello,
      We have a livecycle form that allows people to save an image with an image field and other data in some text fields.
    The users having problems are using Acrobat Pro XI. They seem to be able to open the form, fill in some data and save the data just fine except for this image.
    The image does not display when the user re-opens the form. However, if another user opens that saved form then that user can see the image OK.
    Any ideas what might be happening?
    Thank you.
