Importing addresses to PDF Order Form

I have created a PDF order form that I use with a pretty consistent customer list. Currently I use a combo box drop down list for the customer name, address, city, etc. Each one of those is a separate box so I have to select the name then the address then the city so it is a multi step process.
I would ideally like to have one field for the customer where I choose the complete name address etc. from a drop down or be able to import from address book. Can this be done with what is currently in Acrobat 9 pro or is there a script that will accomplish this? Thank you

Thanks Mike..............I would rather try to accomplish this in Acrobat if possible because I have a very functional form that has just a few quirks in it that I can live with if I have to, but
finding a way to insert the name and address into one box with a drag or drop would be ideal.
I did actually go (on your suggestion) and download a trial version of Bento 2, but I realized after about an hour that all the things I know how to do in Acrobat would take me many new hours of learning in another program and I don't want to start from scratch just for a few quirks I can't work out.
So if there is anybody out there with ideas I am all ears................Lee

PDF Order Forms

I just started a film business for shooting weddings and such. I also recently started a website. Tallproductions.com
I want to be able to have an order form that people can click on and download that then just has some blanks so they can enter text but cant change anything else. I have found an order form like this before. And want to know how to make one if its possible through Word or Pages. I can make text boxes in pages just when i export it as a pdf file and open it in preview it doesnt allow me to enter text. If anyone can help please do. If you want to look at a order form that i found that allows you to do this its at this website - http://www.engagingproductions.net/orderform.pdf

Hi,
You've wandered into the AppleWorks forum, a location dedicated to the Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
This appears to be a PDF issue, rather than one connected with AppleWorks (or Pages or Word).
Downloading the form to which your link was given and doing a Get Info on the file shows the PDF document was made using Adobe Designer 7.0.
Creation of PDF docs with editable fields is likely a feature of Adobe Designer (or of PDF version 1.6). When you create a PDF from Pages or Word using the Print dialogue, the PDF file is created by Mac OS X 10.4.x Quartz PDFContext (and PDF version 1.3), which does not, I believe, support this feature.
That's mostly deduction based on limited experience. Your question will have a better chance of getting an authorative answer if you repost it in a different forum. The iWork/Pages forum or the Printing and Faxing section of the Mac OS X (10.4 Tiger) forum are possibilities.

Barry

Error while updating Ship to Address on Sales Order form

hi ,
A user is trying to update the ship to address on a standard sales orders screen, this is pretty common and never caused any issues. However with one particular order the user gets the following error :
"You cannot update Ship To Location; the standard value rule set prevents override. "
This is an Oracle shipped message and not custom code. The message name is OE_SEC_UPDATE_VIOLATION whose text is : You cannot update &ATTRIBUTE; &REASON
Seems like REASON is the message : OE_SEC_SV_VIOLATION, whose text is
" the standard value rule set prevents override. "
This is a message shipped by Oracle Order entry. I am not able to locate this message since the oracle shipped files are not available to us and this is not in any database code(i searched the code)
Does anyone know when this message is thrown. It seems like some value set error but am not able to figure out where it is being set.
Any help in this will be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you check if any Processing rule is defined for Ship to location update :
Setup> Rules > Security > Processing constraint ?
Maybe this order matches condition that prevents this field from being updated.

Import database to pdf form

how can I import database to Pdf form?

If you export to a tab delimited format and the first row contains the exact field names of the fields in the form (order doesn't matter), then you can import a row of data into the form using Acrobat. You can also automate the process using JavaScript in Acrobat.

Using PDF form as a sales order form on Android device

Hi,
I'm working on a digital sales order form solution, and found Adobe Reader for Android looking to be usefull. However I'm stuck with some questions and hoping to find answers here on the forums.
I don't have a lot of experience with creating PDF's, but I do have sufficient experience with Javascript, so I managed to create form that does some calculations. Everything looks and works alright, but for it to work in the field there are some showstoppers.
The form I've created has 2 signature fields
Here are my issues. Please keep in mind that the user (sales representive) is filling in the form on an Samsung Galaxy Note.
After the form is signed, the user can still make changes to the form. Is there a way to disable this?
The signature default uses very thick lines. How can I force this to 1px default?
The last used signature is stored. How can I disable this? (Customers don't want their signature to be stored, as the sales rep could use that to sign other forms as wel..)
Adobe reader overwrite the original file upon closing. Is there a way to force a 'save as' screen?
Adobe reader allows a user to make comments and write free hand. I'd like to disable this.
(I've tried Document Restrictions, but this ruins the document by removing every form field.. )
I've read something about Adobe LiveCycle server. Could that help me achieve wat I'm looking for?
I hope someone can help me out and explain some of this

How do I place a link in a PDF that takes the user to an online order form that is pre-populated in different ways, depending on what button they pressed?

Hi There,
My question is basically in the top there. Essentially I want to create a marketing brochure that really gives my clients the easiest way to get to and purchase my product.
Is the only way to do it to create a separate order form for each product and just send them to that?
I'd love some feedback,
thanks
Alex.

There are various ways this can be done. One way is to use a back-end application to pre-populate a copy of the PDF with the data and then serve it to the user, but that is quite complex to implement. Another way would be to use parameters in the URL to do it. That can be done more easily with a script.

Importing PDF fillable forms

Hi all,
I am using RH7 and I am tryuing import pdf documents (some
are fillable forms) in to my Webhelp project. I have tried
different options.
1. Import as a PDF Document itself
which doesnt solve the issue as its either creating HTML or
an image .
2. Import as a Baggage file.
Drag and Drop the baggage file to create a link in the
topic.
the second option is working but only when i preview it .
When I preview the topic and click on the link it does open in pdf.
But when I generate the webhelp and then click on the link " There
is no reaction - it just doesnt do anything. Nothing at all. "
So if anyone of you can give me some solution it will be
great . Thank in advance .

You can use form you create in Acrobat, with certain limitations. Have you tried it?

Student and Teacher Edition order form yet to be addressed.

On 28 or 29 December I forwarded a completed Student and Teacher Edition order form located on the Adobe website and I think I recall that Adobe stated in response that the order would be reviewed and replied to most likely within 30 days. I have yet to receive a reply in the last 45 days and would appreciate this query being directed to the relevant section of the company for its attention. Thank you in anticipation.
Sincerely
Geoff Ballis

Geoff,
I have forwarded the same to the relevant team and they would be contacting you shortly.

How to download PDF output forms to presentation server without display

Hi All,
My requirement is to download the Sales Order forms and save it in local system.
I have created a custom program where I am passing a range of Sales Order no, Partner Function, Output type and Application as my input in selection screen.
Logic:
I am calling my Sales Order Abodeform using the FM: 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' and thereby I got the function module name of my form.
Then I am calling the FM:

Because in smartforms, we will convert the OTF output to PDF and that value is passed to GUI_DOWNLOAD FM as input (lt_pdf) , whereas in adobeforms the output itself is in PDF so i dont how to retreive the values from adobeforms and pass it to the above FM, so that I can save 'N' no. of sales order outputs in one PDF file.
Kindly help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vishnu,
I read the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM documentation, if I am trying to download binary type of file, It is mandatory to pass file size.
In my case, since I am having PDF file, so i don't no how to get the size of the pdf file.
As you said, if i use Convert_OTF FM, i don't have data to pass to the OTF and LINES tables.
I am having values of PDF in xstring format in ls_output1-pdf, which i got using the below FM.
CALL FUNCTION lv_funcname (FM name)
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams = ls_docparams

      system_error       = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4.
Kindly tell me what values i need to pass to the FM you mentioned in order to get the size of the file.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan G.
But still I am not sure, how the pdf output is coming for single input whereas if i give in a range, its failing. In single input, i am not giving binary file size still the output is coming.. but for range its not. Kindly help me out in this.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Order Form, need SUM=blank? and not $0.00 (HELP!!!)

I know this might be an easy question for people with javascript knowledge.... but I can't get this working... please help!
I need Order Form total field (sum) to default to blank (instead of $0.00).
*example: Under >calculate I am using "simplified field notation" and (Qty1)*7.95 -- sum appears in "total 1"
The unit price is $7.95 - The value of Qty1 = total 1 (calculations are working fine)
Currently all total boxes read as $0.00 --- I need SUM to be blank until a customer selects a quantity
How can I make the SUM default to blank? and NOT $0.00 - Is it a validation script??? If so, please help with code!!!
Help is appreciated - Thanks!
PS - SUM fields can't be set as non-printing, because Shipping Dept./Accounting Dept. needs ability to print and view totals (if amount is selected - otherwise it could be blank).
*** SUM fields need to be blank for customers who print form and manually enter data & totals...
I am using a Mac, and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I appreciate the reply... (it's been many hours without one)
I tried the validation script, and as you indicated, the only way the total field (with the validation script) appears blank is AFTER the Reset button is clicked. (However I have not checked this in a reader)
I can't see how I can make it work in that manner. Customer inputs Billing & Delivery Addresses at top, then proceeds to select products. If the reset button has to be pressed, all the data (ie. addresses) are removed.
If there was a way to apply the reset function automatically at the opening of the pdf doc. then it would achieve the result I need. I wonder if there isn't a way with a check box at the top that customer clicks which would apply the reset function.
If you (or anyone) has any further tips or help I would appreciate it. This is the last item the client has requested for change.
PS. In case anyone can think of a print script to use... The sum value, when =0 (no qty) needs to print blank sum fields (not $0.00) BUT if there is a sum value, the amount must print (for Ship/Acct Depts)
*** I just thought of something... The only time where the sum value needs to be blank is when customer prints and inputs data by hand.... so, would there be a way to add a print button that can also clear the sum values at the same time with the "reset" function and the validation script???

Purchase order form printing is required in preprinted stationary format

Dear All,
I need one VERY URGENT HELP from you.
Client wants to do printing Purchase order form in preprinted stationary format i.e. using this format they want to print PO document only for certain variable fields each time in our Laser printer,but some fields (which are already) lying will not be printed. (But in the PDF Download of the form for each document number all the fields must appear).
Could you please guide me what are the sequential steps need to be followed, where & how in order to incorporate "preprinted stationary format" scenario in my
Purchase order form. Also, if possible, please tell me in brief what is the meaning of preprinted stationary format & why we are using it / purpose of it.
Awaiting your favorable reply at the earliest.
FYI. Anyways, I have convinced Client that we will provide PDF attachment of form only to them, not Excel attachment. Thanks very much for encouraging me.
Thanks & Regards
Sudipta

Hi,
Thank you for your valuable input.
Please tell me what should be my approach i.e. sequential steps need to be followed & where ( with the related configuration / settings changes, necessary coding changes & where, if possible, please send me one realtime scenario and its related documentation related to my concerned issues at the earliest as it will be very beneficial for mine. I have come across this scenario for the 1st time. Kindly guide me with your documents) in order the incorporate the below requirement:
After modication of standard Purchase order form using SAPSCRIPT I / Client want to download it into PDF attachment individually corresponding to each PO number. In this PDF attachment all the fields will appear.
But when I / Client will take Printout of this modified PO form (say for example ZMEDRUCK) only certain important information / certain field values will be getting printed, not all.
User will be able to give ranges of PO document numbers for printing at a time based on their requirement, here all documents as specified by the user will be getting printed at a time, but one document printout followed by another document printout , and so on.
We want to print PO sapscript form in "Print output" only. Also, please guide me how many & which output types, message type etc we need to configure & how for the above requirement ( i.e. download of the ZMEDRUCK form into PDF with its all the fields values + printing this ZMEDRUCK form for printing certain important information using "preprinted stationary format".)
FYI. We are using Laser Printer for printing SAPSCRIPT forms.
Awaiting your valuable fruitful feedback with necessary documents at the earliest.
Thanks a lot.
Have a very nice time ahead.
Thanks & Regards
Sudipta

Calcluated fields dissapearing when saving? (And other order form issues)

I am trying to make an order form for my company. I have three columns, quantity, rate, and total. The form itself was imported from an Excel document, and the "Rate" column was already filled in. I made "Qty" a fillable field, "rate" a hidden and read only field, and "Total" a calculated field that is the product of "Qty" and "Rate".
In Acrobat Pro, when I click "Preview", everything seems to work fine. Once I save it, close the file, and try to open it in Apple Preview or Adobe Reader on Windows, it doesn't work. When I reopen the file in Acrobat Pro, the calculated fields are set back to "value is not calculated".
I have spent a LOT of time on this form, and now it seems that all of my work has just dissapeared. Not to mention when Acrobat decided to just up and quit on me, corrupt my file, and delete it. Luckily I work in Versions, and save a different file everytime I save. But then I had to go back and edit all the fields to make them calcluate, only to lose them when i save.
I have two questions here. First, is this the correct way to be doing an order form, or is there an easier, more reliable workflow? Second, why doesn't Acrobat Pro save my field properties?
I'm on Acrobat Pro XI on OSX 10.8.5
Attached are two images, the first is how I set the field to begin with, and the second is what happens after I save and reopen the document.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Apple Preview is a known "assassin" of PDF forms, and tends to corrupt them in many ways. Avoid using it as much as possible! Even just opening a PDF file in it can cause it to be irreparably corrupt.
Having said that, I did notice a bug in Acrobat XI that causes scripts to "disappear" when you open the Calculate or Validate tab. This happened to me mostly when a custom code was used, and I don't know of a way to prevent it or predict when it happens... It's rare, though.

Can you calculate multiple text boxes to achieve a total value? If so how is that done? I am trying to create a order form where multiple items can be purchased but i would like the values of each item to calculate so I can achieve a total value.

Hi sashby51,
I've moved your discussion to the PDF Forms forum--the folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to point you in the right direction.

Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable. I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK.
Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female. If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

Thanks for explaining that. I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property? I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there. Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me. If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature. So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using. So if I want to make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
Thanks for your continued help!
