Is it possible to create a form which can be filled out during service work and then printed

I want to build a form that I can fill out on my laptop as I perform service work. The work being performed varies from job to job. I would like to be able to print out only the work I perform, and not have a bunch of blank spaces for things not done. Is that possible with this program?

It might be, but the type of thing you're describing is perhaps better implemented with a dynamic XFA form created with Adobe's LiveCycle Designer, which came with Acrobat prior to version 11 and is now a separate product. It allows you do add/remove groups of fields (e.g., one or more rows, an entire sections, etc.) at run-time, causing the form to expand/contract as the fields are added/removed. This involves some scripting. There is a forum for Designer here where you can ask more questions.
It's possible to create a form with Acrobat that dynamically adds entire pages (templates) at run-time, overlays the contents of a (normally hidden) template on an existing page, as well as show/hide fields, but automatic reflow of page contents is more problematic. This too involves scripting and you can ask about it in this or the Acrobat JavaScript forum.

How do I create a form that can be filled out, saved with data, and returned?

We don't want to use EchoSign or any kind of service or account. We just want to send a form to clients via email and have them returned to us with their data. Simple. Intuitive. Requires virtually no explanation or bother. Why can't I find any way to do this in Acrobat any more? Is it hidden, or completely disabled? (Acrobat Pro 10.1.7)

In Acrobat you can Reader-enable the file. For Acrobat 11, the menu item to do this is: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
Do this as the last step before you distribute the form. Note that this isn't needed for Reader 11 since it is capable of saving a non-enabled PDF form that was created with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Designer).

How to create a PDF form which can be filled out and saved with change by end user

I am using Acrobat 8.0 - Mac - and want to create a PDF with text form fields. Simple one page file. The end user needs to be able to fill out the text form fields and SAVE those changes. so far they can fill out the fields but can not save the file with changes.
Thanks

After the uproar from Users about Standard being little more than Apple's Print to PDF; there hasn't been a Standard version for Mac since version 6. So many people were use the features in Acrobat 5 to create Forms that could be filled out by Reader. when the bought 6 Standard they were ready to hang the CEO of Adobe in effigy. When 7 came out is was Pro only.
I'm confused.
The current version of Acrobat comes in Standard, Pro, and Extended Pro versions. Only the Pro version is on the Mac. But that doesn't mean that the Mac community wouldn't have wanted the Standard version of Acrobat.
The Standard version is hardly a mimic of Apple's Save to PDF. The most important features of Standard is to enable Rights in Reader as well as add comments, form fields. etc.
The only thing that Standard does do are the pre-press and production features of Pro.
However, given the difference in price ($450 vs. $300) there is ample reason for business on the Mac OS to buy Standard--if they could buy it.
I didn't say PC users.
I should have said Mac users. Because the Print system and sytem by which Mac users view anything is based on the PDF engine. The Mac sytem can do anything Standard Standrd could do. although in order to placate Adobe the pdf engine used is a version or two behind. If the Mac OS could do everything Acrobat could do there would be no reason for Adobe to provide Acrobat Or Reader for Mac.
And you basing your assumption of what Standard can do a PC. Standard on Mac is basically Mac's Print to PDF wrapped in an Adobe Package. It shad no ability to confer rights to reader (that didn't come to Acrobat Mac until Version 8) and was unable to to create forms. The current version of Acrobat PC comes as Standard, Pro, And extended. There never has and never will be an extended pro version for Mac (that adds the ability to create XML based forms) They don't have the interest. To adobe is little more than a Play toy. Because Windows has so much clout They can dictate what they want. Apple not so much. One advantage Mac does have is that Forms creator is built in. on PC its an adon (it free but an addon or was).
Now back in OS 9 days and Acrobat 5.x Acrobat for Mac and PC were equal. except to have the print press features Mac users had to pay an addition $200.00. (It exactly as you described in your last sentence - except Acrobat 5.x without the printpress and The Acrobat 5 without Print press was $299.00 and $499.00 with Print press.) I know I've used Acrobat since version 3.

How do I create an online PDF form that can be filled out by recipient?

I have Create PDF Online and am wondering how I go about creating a document that can be filled out by a recipient. This would be regarding a questionaire type form where I would ask questions and the recipient fills in the answers. I know I have received these in the past from other people, but do not know how to do this myself. I don't know if this is even possible with CREATE PDF ONLINE or if I need to purchase a special Adobe software package in order to do this.
Thank you in advance for any information that any of you can give me.

i'm afraid i can't help you. i've never tried to create a document that can
be filled out. hopefully, someone else can help you.

Is there a format for at PDF form that can be filled out, saved locally and edited continually afterwards?

hello
on the html-based form http://www.samtaleterapi.com/oversigter/psykoterapi.html there isnt the functionality i want
it can only be filled out and printed
what i want is a form that can be filled out, saved locally on people's own computers, and and that the local copy can be edited and saved anew continually
can PDF do this?
can the end users edit and save the form with no other program than adobe reader?
if so, is this a specific format of PDF?
and if so, how do i create it?
thanks
rasmus

You can indeed create a PDF form that can be opened, filled out and saved by users of Adobe Reader. It simply requires one of the later versions of Adobe Acrobat. It has a function to enable this ability in PDF's.
The one down side is that there are usage limits (how many times form data can be collected) that you would want to familiarize yourself with in advance to be sure you don't violate the EULA. Exactly how thos limitations work are up to interpretation...

We have a form that we want to make into a form that can be filled out electronically. Can I do this?

If you mean a PDF document and want to separate it into several parts, there is no way of doing it with just the free Reader, buy it can be done with Acrobat. If you are talking of another type of document, please post full details.

Hi
Thanks for your fast replies.. I have created a new material and was able to create inventory thru MB1C. But I was not able to generate a goods delivery(VL01N) and billing document(VF01) for the sales order.
Error: No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date
Message no. VL248
Diagnosis
There are no schedule lines due for the given order item up to the date chosen.
System Response
The system does not create a delivery item for this order item.
Procedure
Check whether the order item to be delivered contains confirmed schedule lines.
If this is the case, set the selection date further into the future if you still want to create a delivery for this item.
Please suggest,
Tanks,

Is it possible to back up my iphone 4s when the wifi is not working and then transfer data to my new 5c?

Ok, so Apple support has told me that the 4s I have is out of warranty and can't be fixed anyway. So I bought a 5c and want to save my data (notes, photos, calendar, voice recordings) as well as contacts onto the new phone. Any ideas?

I am trying that and itunes says that you have to have icloud backup off. My icloud "button" is a whiteish green and does not respond to touch. I can't turn it off.

Create a Form in Acrobat Standard that can be filled out AND SIGNED using Free Reader

I am tasked with creating forms that can be read, filled out and signed and submitted electronically by users that have only the reader software. I am using Acrobat 5 standard. I have not yet found a way to successfully create a form field that would allow users to insert a signature of some sort. This signature does not have to be encrypted, or use the digital signature system Adobe Acrobat has where you create a profile, log in, etc. It could be as simple as the ability to insert a jpeg or other image of their handwritten signature. This is to avoid having to have them fill it out, and then print it and fax or scan it in. It would be great if they could fill it out and then just save it and email it. How would I do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks,
JOhn

With AA5, there is no capability to submit a signature - even electronic. You can create a form that can be filled out, signed in the sense of adding a name and date, and submit to a web site.
Insertion of images is not part of forms with AA5, but I think has become possible recently. Even so, they reader would also have to be compatible with the feature to be able to use it. If the typing of the name and the date would do, then you can add those fields - sort of the limit with AA5.
With AA5, they can not save the form with the data. They can submit the data as an FDF file to a web site. If you have control of the client machines, then you can consider e-mail since those issues can be worked out locally. Without control of the clients (like a general form on the web), don't bother with e-mail since there will always be some that have problems.

Can I make a PDF form that can be filled/saved in Illustrator/InDesign without Acrobat Pro?

Can I make a PDF form that can be filled out and (more importantly saved) in Illustrator or InDesign without having to use Adobe Acrobat Pro?
I only have Adobe Reader XI. Do I need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to make a PDF form that can be filled out and saved by others? or is it possible to do this solely through Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Adobe Reader?

InDesign can export to a filable form, assuming you add the fields in InDesign (6/CC) and export as an interactive PDF. You can't create a form with Reader or Illustrator. You also can't Reader-enable with anything other than Acrobat, so Reader users will have to use version 11 in order to save a filled-in form.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Hello, thanks for replying.
Yes they just copy to the next page, the fields are the same. The document is an observation to school lessons so it needs to be consistent but with different data on.

How to create a structure which can hold a dynamic table as a field in DDIC

Hi ,
       I am designing a solution for a problem and have a unique requirement. I need to create a structure which can hold a field where dynamic table data can be stored. Let me illustrate with an example :
My structure ( say Z_output_struc ) will have the fields
Table_name Table_Data
My function module will have a table type of the above structure, so in effect ,my output can have multiple table names and related to each of them, there will be table data of that table name. The issue is how do I configure this in DDIC ?
I tried creating table_data as "Type ref to Data" but was stuck inside the func module when I tried to transfer data to this.
Any pointers as to how to think about this differently ?
Best Regards,
Girish

Hi Girish,
you start directly from the ref to data. You assign it to a field symbol and cast this to the type of the destination of your select. So you can directly add the reference to the cache:
I hope this example helps a bit (I took a form instead of a function module as it is easier to add here and used an hr table as kna1 is empty on my test system):
REPORT z_rwe_99_dyn_tab_cache.
* type definition
TYPES:
BEGIN OF _s_cache,
    table TYPE        tabname16,
    cache TYPE REF TO data,
END   OF _s_cache,
_t_cache TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF _s_cache.
* data declaration
DATA:
lv_table     TYPE tabname16,
lv_condition TYPE string,
lt_cache     TYPE _t_cache.
* define table and condition
lv_table     = 'HRP1000'.
lv_condition = 'plvar = ''01'' and otype = ''S'' and objid = ''50000016'''.
* get the result of a single table into the cache
PERFORM get_dyn_table USING
                        lv_table
                        lv_condition
                      CHANGING
                        lt_cache.
* form to read a single table
FORM get_dyn_table USING
                     iv_table     TYPE tabname16
                     iv_condition TYPE string
                   CHANGING
                     ct_cache     TYPE _t_cache.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <lt_table> TYPE ANY TABLE.
DATA:
    ls_cache TYPE        _s_cache,
    lr_data TYPE REF TO data.
CREATE DATA lr_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (iv_table).
ASSIGN lr_data->* TO <lt_table>.
SELECT * FROM (iv_table) INTO TABLE <lt_table>
    WHERE
      (iv_condition).
ls_cache-table = lv_table.
ls_cache-cache = lr_data.
APPEND ls_cache TO ct_cache.
ENDFORM.                    "get_dyn_table
If you have more questions just give another post.
