  • Questions about using a PDF form online

    I have a client who wants to create an online version of a PDF form that they are currently using. I am currently trying to explain to them that this would be best done as an HTML web form, but I may not win this argument. I have only used PDFs for printed forms (either hand-written or using form fields) so I am not familiar with any problems that converting the form for use online would entail.
    When the 'Submit' button is pressed on the form, is there a way to redirect to another web page after the data is submitted? (i.e. does the PDF have access to it's outer 'environment'?)
    Are there any security issues submitting data using the PDF form as opposed to using a standard web form? (There may be sensitive data being submitted)
    I'm not sure how they plan to handle the data that is submitted, but there are several options in the submitForm parameters - I am assuming that using the HTML option would submit the data in the same format as a web form would. Am I correct here?
    Can the PDF be prevented from being downloaded or printed? This form should only be used to submit data to their server, not as a printed form.
    Are there any other 'gotchas' that I need to look out for? Does anyone have a recommendation for a site which contains any tutorials or guidelines for using PDF forms online?

    Thanks for the information.
    Yes, I agree that there is less reason for it to be a PDF form (Actually, no real reason other than the original form already exists in PDF), but I am unfortunately in the position that my input in this project is not necessarily being considered (my company is following direct -and inconsistent- directions from the client, and I have no contact with the client to ask questions about what their actual needs are). I have been told to give the client the 'Tomato' that they are asking for, even though they are describing an 'Apple'.
    The reason this form is not meant to be printed is that we have replaced the 'Signature' fields from the original form with checkboxes that the user must check to confirm they have 'signed' the document. If they are to print/fax/whatever the document, they should use the original form, not this one. And I am still trying to explain to them that this would be better served with an HTML web form, but I fear I am losing that battle.
    I have brought up the fact that it is not 100% guaranteed that Acrobat will be available in the browser, although I can only guess that it is less than likely that anyone will not have some sort of PDF viewer available to their browser.
    I will also mention that issues may arise if the file is not submitted from within the browser.

  • How to add Predefined PDF Form as a Template in BIP - 11g

    Can anybody please help me to understand how to add Predefined PDF Form as a Template in BIP - 11g and how to map the Form fields with the Data Elelment.
    I tried it with 10 g set up as well, but I found following things
    1) PDF form template mapping was only available whenever we provide sample data with the same filed name and also number of fileld should be same.
    2) According to user manual that I have, it says that whenever I click on the form field while mapping the form field data elements, it should open a new window having the corresponding mapping details.
    But in my case no new window was opened when I clicked on the form field while mapping.
    Please help me out since i am beginner with BIP and have to move forward with Predefined PDF Form as a Template in BIP - 11g.

    I am new to BIP-11g. But i have created rtf, pdf templates in 10g. I am migrating reports to 11g. If you know How to add Predefined PDF Form as a Template in BIP - 11g , Please let me know.
    In 10 g you need to do the following things
    1. First you need to create data template.
    2. Then you have to upload pdf template.
    3. After you have uploaded the pdf template, Map Form Fields tab will appear. Then you can map the form fields.

  • How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

    How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
    Here is what I have done:
    As taken from another post:
    Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
    In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
    In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
    Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
    Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
    In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
         The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
    Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
    where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
    Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
    Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
    Thanks

    I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

  • How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

    Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X 
    Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore. 
    Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

    For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
    This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

  • How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
    I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
    If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
    The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
    Hope that helps,

  • I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    Hey john@adobe,
    Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
    You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
    If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
    Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral

    Hi,
    Please help me in How to  import a PDF form into FormsCentral.
    Thanks,
    Techvedic

    Hi Techvedic,
    Import of form in Formscentral depends on how it was created. If you used LiveCycle designer to create the original form then it cannot be imported. However, if the form is created in Acrobat then you can import it by clicking on Import PDF form under Create New form heading.
    Note: In the imported form you may edit the position of the submit button, but other design edits to the imported form will need to be made in the tool used to create that form.
    Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question.
    Regards,

  • How to open the PDF form in the same browser window

    Hi All,
       I have created a webdynpro application to display a PDF form.The form is displayed in the new window.I want it to be displayed in the same window.
    How to make the PDF form to be displayed in the same window
    Thanks
    Ponnusamy P

    Hi Ponnusamy
    Earlier there was <b>_self</b>  as the target property for LinkToURLUIElement, but it is not available anymore,instead we need to use exit plugs
    there is one way to do
    1) Create a viewset of type Grid in your window
    2) Create a new view with iFrame added to it
    3) Specify number of columns/rows as per your requirement
    to the viewset  Suppose 1 Column and 2 Rows
    4) In the second row embed  your view which has iframe
    Using Plugs[Inbound and Outbound] you can view your PDF in the same window.
    This is not solution but this is one of the way to achieve your need
    Best Regards

  • How to open a pdf form with fdf data

    Hi all,
          I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
    I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
    http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
    But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
    Can anyone know any other way to do this?
    Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
    Thanks in advance
    Annamalai

    @ Bernd. It still opens a text file
    Here's my FDF file sample

    (I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
    Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
    ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
    this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
    I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
    I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
    and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

  • PDF form online but when submitted via email, received as XML

    I'm trying to include a pdf form, created in Designer, on my website where guests can fill out the form and then hit the submit button and the form is emailed to me. Currently, I am linking to the form like it is another web page.
    When the form is emailed to me, it is in the XML format. Once the file is opened, it gives me instructions on how to view it. It says to open the original pdf form and somehow place the xml data into it. Isn't there an easier way?
    I would like to receive the "filled out" form as a pdf via email so I can just open it up with reader and print it. Others, that are more technically challenged will be receiving the "filled out" form also. The easier the better. thanks in advance

    A PDF that has been Reader Extended activates latent Adobe Reader functionality such as save filled in forms, annotate, sign, and submit interactive Adobe PDF documents. For more info see

  • How to return fillable pdf form via distribute function in live cycle?

    I am trying to have a fillable form be submitted back/returned by e-mail (through using outlook)to multiple users, via the distribute form function through livecycle, so that they know a pdf form has been completed and sent back and that I can place the information in the dataset as well (in case I need to export the info). Currently the distribute function only accepts it going to one e-mail, even if I seperate the e-mails with a ";". How do I have the form e-mail multiple users and allow me to place the form field data go into a dataset via distribution?

    I tried it and I am seeing what you are seeing. If I send to a single user then it works fine. I think it might be outlook blocking the multi-address through programmatic interfaces. They do this so that viruses cannot turn your mail client into a spam generation. This is simply a guess.

  • Sending Filled PDF Form ONLINE without promting outlook/windowsmail etc

    This question has been placed serveral times. But no one seemed to have THE anwers/script for it.
    now we all know that a filled pdf form, can be send as an attachment when you click on the submit button. It prompts, your computer mail software and place the e-mail adress and subject on the right place with the filed pdf file attached. That's cool.
    And also we know you can save the pdf form on your local disk. Login in your gmail, hotmail or yahoo and attach the saved pdf form file and send it there.
    But what I want is something more simpler. The above mention is tricky when someone dont have mail client. I just want the complete filled pdf form, send online (through mailserver?). just the send button. without prompting outlook/windowsmail. Just the submit and send the whole damn thing to the right address.
    So what's the script to do so?

    I have the same question, did you have any luck  finding an answer/script ? It seems like this process its much more complicated than it should be.
