I need to create a fillable form and then generate a reports.
Hello everybody. I need to create a fillable form and then generate a report using numbers. You know, for example if you have customers, I need to be able to write the usual , name, last name, address, and some other details and then using a standard letter I would like the form to be able to populate these fields automatically in a standard pre formatted letter by our company and then be able to print it.
Any help to point me in the right direction I would appretiate very much.
I have iwork 9 installed in my macbook pro

Help needed creating a fillable form and emailing it.
I'm new to all this and have no clue where to start. If there is a document that lays out how to do this, a link to it would work. I need to create 2 fillable forms. 1 will need a submit button and once you click submit, it automatically sends the form. The 2nd one will need to allow the end user to select to whom the document is to go to. I think it will have to open an email message to do this, but I'm not sure. Please advise.
It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

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?

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike
If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

I need to create a simple form and have it submitted to Paypal...
Hello all,
I need to have visitors go to my website, register and then pay for a seminar at my church. I know how to create a form; but I need to know how to create a form that will register and pay for the event. The payment will go to Paypal, which we already have set up. Any pointers or tutorials around?That was what I was suggesting. If you are no familiar with secure web sites (and I am not), it is best to have that part handled by pros in that area. They also get to accept the liability in such cases (read any contract carefully). You may want to be sure that the page returned opens in a browser and not in Acrobat. The latter is probably not the best way to link to a secure site.

I've made a fillable form and need javascript assistance
I've created a fillable form (for internal company use) and would like certain fields to auto fill based on what other field values are.
Here is snap shot of the form
Here is an explanation of the table.
The top fillable row: model = user fill in model; Serial No. = user fill in serial no.; DOP = user fill in DOP; Warranty = user select valid or void (combo box)
Fillable row under "IDX Diagnostics/warranty/parts/labor/qty/cost/total/action/date complete": IDX Diagnostics = user fillable diagnostics; warranty = user select valid or void (combo box); parts/labor = user fill in parts/labor time; qty = user enter a number; cost = user enter a number; total = auto fills based on qty * cost; action = user selects repair/no repair; date complete = user fills in date.
The "total cost" field adds up all the totals.
Here is what i'd like to accomplish
1. When the second "warranty" (combo box) is set to "Valid", i'd like the total cost value to be $0 no matter what
2. When the action is set to "no repair", i'd like the total for that row to be $0 and override the qty*cost value.
Is this possible?
Thanks!Which program are you using? If you are using Livecycle Designer you can use the Action Builder to make your fields do what you want based on user selection. If you are interested in this there is a good tutorial here:

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
MichaelThat 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. -

I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????
Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another?
I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense. -
Hi guys i have just created my new form and it was very easy. however once i convert it to a PDF the editable boxes in the form are blue and i would like to change the colour. does any know if this can be done?
The blue background is the field highlighting that you have the option of turning off. If you don't see the purple bar on top with Highlight Fields toggle button, it should displayed by clicking the top icon (purplish) in the navigation pane on the left

How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?
In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself. -
Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand
HI
Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.Hi Raj,
Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
Do reward if find useful

Archiving: toss original raw, keep it as smart object in PSD ok?
For archiving purposes, once a .NEF is embedded in a .psd file as a smart object, I can toss the original .NEF, right? Cuz the entire reference is contained within the smart object as long as I keep the .psd, right? Thanks
