Is it possible to scan a form that can then be filled in with Pages?

Is it possible to scan in a form provided by an organization and then fill it out using Pages or other software? Will OS Mtn. Lion do this without additional software other than Pages? Is softward available for the iMac that will allow such scanning to be done?
Thanks,

You can use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to scan a document and convert it into a form - a 30-day trial version is available here -> http://www.adobe.com/downloads/?promoid=JZEFS.

Simple pdf form that can later be filled in?

I have a pdf form, and I want to be able to make that people can simply fill in - does anyone know how to do this?
I am used to mac, and use a special program for it but am now with a pc so I am completely lost. I have downloaded acrobat pdf 11
Waht I want is that people can simply fill in the data and then 'print' a pdf form to me and send it to me via email.
How do I put in the space they can fill in?
Many thanks for your reply

You can use Acrobat to add interactive form fields to a PDF. In Acrobat 11 you would normally do this in form editing mode: Tools > Forms > Edit
If you want to have Reader users (prior to version 11) be able to save the filled-in form so it can be emailed, the document will need to be Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Two forms that update differrent tables on the same page?

I tried to add two forms that update different tables on to one page.
Problem is when I do that the forms gives me an error saying the field does not exist. It's like it is trying to update one table with the other tables fields.
As an example Say I have one forms that is for people table and another one that is the Jobs table.
When I go to update the people table, it sends the data for the jobs fields too I get an error like the field job description does not exist.
I have two different forms for these and everything.
I would hope it is possible to have two forms that update different tables on the same page.

I was trying the exact same thing, but i managed to work round it by setting the steps to hide one region, so the user would enter the form see one region submit the region then direct back to the same page with the different region visible and the original hidden.
I don't know if this would be acceptable for you...

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...

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

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.

Is it possible to have a form that is completed in sections?

is it possible to have a form that is completed in sections with each section being submitted when it is completed until the last and final section is eventually submitted?

Hi,
You cannot submit a form by sections, but you may fill out sections of the form and save it and then submit the form at the end when you have completed all sections of the form. Here is how to enable the function to allow users to save web form data over a period of time: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4135.

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.

Hi! I have a Creative suite Design Standard 9 Adobe program and I am attempting to make a wizzard form that can be made into an entry form for a competition. So I need to 1. Make the form into a question and answer form that Participants may fill out. 2. make it possible for them to download it via a link on our website 3. make it possible for them to save the info they have written into the form and mail it to the mail we have supplied in the entry form and 4. make it possible for them to put in a jpg. as part of the entry for and lastly 5. make it possible for us to copy paste the document and use it on other platforms. How do I do this - is it at all possible with adobe?

Those requirements are go way beyond what PDF forms can do and are meant for, some of them would require involving other programs or are mutually exclusive and contradictory. You are wasting your time even thinking about doing this as an "offline" PDF form. Simply sign up for an online forms/ survey service like FormsCentral or Surveymonkey.

Create a form that can either end in "Submit" or "Process Payment" depending on the selected fields

I have designed a Golf Tournament Registration form that includes a multiple choice field with 4 payment options
1) Pay Online
2) Mail a Check
3) Direct Deposit
4) Other
When Option 1 is selected, the form should redirect the registee to the PayPal payments page that has already loaded personal information from the earlier fields
When Option 2, 3, & 4 are selected, the form should redirect the registee to applicable information about how to proceed
HOWEVER: the submission button at the bottom of Options 2-4 still reads "Proceed to Payment" which is confusing for golf participants who have elected to mail a check.
*Is there a way to customize the submission button to elimate this possible confusion?

So I see that I am not the only one with this question and that part of my question has been answered here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399918#4399918#4399918
HOWEVER: is there no way to change the wording on the PayPal "Proceed to Checkout" button? I just want it to say "Submit"

Is there a way to create reusable HTML Forms that can be used on multiple pages?

I'm trying to understand the recommended approach to managing 10 HTML forms that will be reused on many different pages. I want to be able to modify the form definition once and have the change propogate.

Is your requirement that authors be able to change the form definition, or should form definition be controlled by developers?
In the case of authors being able to change the form definition then I would say best practice would be to create a page that holds the form definition (using whatever components work for you - either the out of the box form components or something custom). Then use the reference component to point the definition in all the other locations you want the form to appear. One thing to note is if you are using dispatcher for caching you need to make sure you strategy for cache flushing accomadates this approach.
In the case of developers controlling the form definition you could crate a component for each form, and then simly drag that component onto the pages that require the form. In this case your would control all the form label and description elements in the localization file.

Create a fillable form that can be saved by others

Hi, I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, I'm on a PC
I know that you go to File>Save As...>Reader extended pdf>
After that I get "Enable Adding Text in Documents (that are not fillable form)...
I then get a form that is using a "typewriter" tool." That's not what I want. I want a fillable form that can be saved by the person filling out the form and not have to use the typewriter tool. I don't like the way that looks or works. I hope there is someone that can help. I used to be able to do this and don't understand what has changed.
Thanks!

Yes, it will allow pre-11 Reader users to save.

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.

I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
Have a look here ...

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.
