Is it possible to have a PDF Form that is both static and dynamic?

So I have a form that I need to make that would consist of two different pages. The first being lots of form fields and some simple graphics where the user could use the comment markup tools to draw some simple lines. The second page would be all text and filling out narrative. So the second page being dynamic and being able to expand would be important. The first page would not need to expand at all. Is there any way to do this and still have the form be one file, one document? What about embedding a dynamic form inside of the static form? Such as how you can embed a word document inside of an excel form... I've done some research but I can't tell if this is even possible. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

  • Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)

    Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
    An automated second page.

    There are two approaches.
    If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this.  It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
    If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
    Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA.

  • I have a PDF form that I want to pre-fill multiple fields with example text that disappears onFocus. Is there a way to do this?

    Pretty much what my subject line says. My client wants example text in the fields of a PDF form that will disappear when the cursor enters the field. When I try this with show/hide layers, the layer becomes visible as soon as I enter form editing mode, and the action doesn't work properly. Any help? I was able to get it to work with a single field, but multiple fields with example text on multiple layers doesn't work for some reason.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Jeffrey ,
    You need to use a custom Format script for the field.

  • Is it possible to create a horizontal slider that includes both text and pictures?

    I need to create a horizontal slider that includes both an image and selectable text, but I can't seem to figure out how to go about this in Muse. So far all I have been able to do is to use the Image description as the static text, but this text will not slide horizontally, it will just change, and the picture will slide underneath it.
    I want both the picture of the phone, AND the text next to it to slide horizontally when the user clicks the next/previous buttons. The placement of the text needs to change depending on which message will be in the next slide, so it will be impossible to use the image description for this purpose.

    Thanks for posting.
    You can achieve this by using slid show. Add image to the slide and there is a text box at the bottom of the slideshow box, which you can drag and place on the image within the frame. Please refer the screenshot below.
    Kind Regards

  • How to: Secure pdf form that is emailed and later uploaded

    We have a pdf form that will be posted on our website.  Local college/university faculty will link to the form on their websites or just give students the link to our page.  Students will fill the form and it will be emailed to a faculty member from their specific school.  The faculty member then needs to review the form and select candidates to present for an internship.  At that point, they need to upload the form back to our server.
    This form will contain sensitive information and therefore needs to be secure during the filling, emailing, and uploading processes.  The faculty member receiving it needs to be able to access it as does the person on our end that will do the final reviewing after it is uploaded back to us.
    I have no idea how to even start.  I've created interactive forms but have never embedded one in an website.  The closest I've come is a recently created web application that filled a pdf form in the code-behind and then emailed it, but that didn't require any security.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    I have Adobe Creative Cloud.  How do I edit a PDF form I created at work and e-mailed to my home tablet?

    Hi Val,
    I see! Please see this thread: Is FormsCentral part of the Creative Cloud?
    Creative Cloud doesn't include FormsCentral, which is why you're being prompted to upgrade. (An Acrobat Pro subscription, on the other hand, does include FormsCentral.)
    Best,

  • How do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

    how do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

    If you have Acrobat, you can create a PDF from a scan by selecting: File > Create > PDF from Scanner
    This is for Acrobat 11. Previous version of Acrobat have something similar.
    In order for Acrobat to be able to automatically add form fields, you will have to at least perform OCR on the PDF, but I would not expect good results. There's only so much it can do and starting from a scan is iffy. You will probably have to create the form fields yourself using the various form tools in form editing mode: Tools > Forms > Edit

  • Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it

    Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached to an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it?

    Hello Graphicsguy123,
    You would need to first create the form ( or Widget in EchoSign) first to generate a url which you can paste it in the email being sent to customers. You would need to make sure you have a Document Cloud Enterprise Premium account in order to create a Widget. If you don't have the account, you can use the trial version to test it. Here is the link:

  • Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

    Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?  My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it.  Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

    Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat.  There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  • I have a pdf doc that I have email buttons attached to button when I go to upload it to forms central so I can add a submit button to it it enables my email buttons.

    I have a pdf doc that I have email buttons attached to button when I go to upload it to forms central so I can add a submit button to it it enables my email buttons.

    You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

  • Is there any part of a PDF Form that is ignored when digitally signing?

    I'm building a simplified workflow process using PDF forms. Users would add a Submit button to a form that posted to an internal web service, which would add the forms to an internal document system for further processing.
    Part of the process involves subsequent users in the workflow opening the forms and adding additional signatures, then submitted them back into the system.
    I'm trying to find a way to identify PDF forms that have already been submitted vs. new forms that have not been seen before. I'd like to add an internal identifier (flag, ID value, something) to the PDF the first time we see it. But, I need to make sure not to invalidate the existing signatures. I don't want to change any of the form fields, or the visual content, or any other user-facing aspect of the PDF itself; I'm looking more for, say, a custom property, or new keyword, or something.
    Is there any portion of a PDF that does not get considered as "part" of the form when applying and validating the digital signatures?

    Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?

  • How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

    I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible.  I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
    I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
    Thanks,
    Chani

    Thanks everyone for responding.  I should have supplied more information.
    I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
    I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro.  These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
    I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data.  However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered.  Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
    So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact.  Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions.  However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
    Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
    If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly?  How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing?  I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
    If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
    Thanks for all of your responses!
