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.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

    Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
    I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
    It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

    It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

  • Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events

    Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events from a subscribed calendar ? Mobile Me is great but my most important Calendar is technically in the "Subscriptions" category so it doesn't get pushed to me iPhone. I want to create a new Calendar and have it just automatically copy all the events from the subscribed calendar and keep up to date with that one.

    lincolnroadjeff,
    I subscribed to a Holiday calendar that I also wanted to be published, and the only workaround that I found was to export the calendar, delete the subscription, and then import the calendar.
    This obviously will only work with a subscription that is not often updated/subject to change.

  • Is there a limit to no. of summary fields that can be used in a cross tab?

    Hi,
    While creating a cross tab is there a limitation to number of summarized fields that can be used?
    - The cross tab when uses 184 fields as summary fields leads to Crystal report application to crash at the time of export to excel.
    - Tried with two Datasources: XML and excel
    - If we reduce the number of summary fields used to 102 exactly, export works fine in excel.
    - If 2 cross tabs are used each containing 92 summary fields(in order to show 184) export to excel works fine.
    Please let me know if there is any such limitation which leads to CR application to crash when exporting in excel?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to create a Smart Mailbox that shows Sent emails only?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to find a way to create a smart mailbox that only shows emails I have sent.
    If I receive 20 emails today, 10 yesterday say, I have a Smart MB where I have set up emails received today, another SMB for emails received yesterday and another SMB for emails I've received in the past week. I can very easily see what has come in during the last few days or whatever.
    What I also have are rules that move all emails received and sent to specific folders. The idea is that I will have nothing in my INBOX. The problem is that although it's easy to set up views to see what emails I've received on any day using the calendar option, I can't see a way of doing this to see what emails I've sent.
    So, if I receive 20 emails today and I replied to 3 of them, those 3 will get sent to whatever folder I've allocated for them - I put all emails TO/FROM in one folder for each email address. This way I don't have 2 email folders TO and SENT for each recipient.
    My problem is that I want to ONLY look at what I've sent today or maybe yesterday etc. if I can set things up the same way as receiving emails, But I can't seem to do this.
    Seems strange that there are options to see filter out what's coming in but not what is being sent! But if there's a way to do this, it would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Maz

    Mail creates a Sent mail folder automatically when you set up an account. All your sent mails are kept there. You configure how it saves your sent mail here:
    You should see the mailbox in Mail's sidebar:

  • Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

    I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac.  Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

    No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option.  With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month.  If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether.  You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you.  Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

  • Is there a way to create a user account that "expires", or self deletes itself after a set amount of time?

    I am hoping to find a way to create an Admin account for our parent body that can be used for items at home, "adding printers, software, wireless settings, etc...), but have that account either "expire" or self delete itself after say 72 hours?
    Thoughts?
    Jesse

    Will they be needing to keep files saved for a while?  I'm guessing no, since you're ok with it auto-deleting after a short while.
    You could just use the guest user:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
    But I'm not aware of any way that you could setup an account to expire.

  • 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!

  • Is there a way to create a file merge that updates from the original source file if changes are made?

    I have thousands of PDF documents that are merged with other files. I'll give an example so it's easier to understand.
    File #1 may be merged (or in a portfolio) with Files #2 and #3 but also in another merge (or portfolio) with Files #3 and #4.
    If I update File #1, is there a way for it to automatically update both of the merge or portfolio files with the updated File #1? (File#1 would be replaced, same name and location).
    I'm using windows and Adobe Acrobat Pro

    You would need to add favorites to the WebHelp output prior to creating a CHM. You would need something along the lines of: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/favorites-widget-webhelp
    But since it's in a CHM, I'm not sure whether you will be able to save anything from the webhelp output between sessions.

  • Is there a way to create a math.random that doesn't overlap movieclips?

    Hi,
    Actually I have two questions. I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
    1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
    2. Is there  a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
    Thanks,
    OJ

    sure.
    1.  the easiest way to position objects without over-lapping, IF you can assume it will always be possible, is to use something like:
    var mcA:Array=[your movieclips]
    var index:uint=0;
    positionF();
    function positionF(){
    // assuming top-left reg points of your movieclips
    mcA[index].x=Math.random()*(stage.stageWidth-mcA[index].width);
    mcA[index].y=Math.random()*(stage.stageHeight-mcA[index].height);
    var hitBool:Boolean=false;
    for(var i:int=0;i<index-1;i++){
    if(mcA[index].hitTestObject(mcA[i])){
    hitBool=true;
    break;
    if(hitBool){
    positionF();
    } else {
    index++;
    if(index<mcA.length){
    positionF();
    } else {
    // positioning complete.  do whatever
    2.  you can use the graphics class to draw dynamic lines.

  • Is there a way to create a text field that shows on all slides?

    I'm trying to create a "Revised On" date field that can be shown on every slide. Or, do I just have to copy and paste on all slides?
    Thanks in advance.
    - Michael

    use the master slides
    view > show master slides
    click on the master slide that has a tick mark
    add a text box to master slide and any other objects that you want on every slide; enter text, then position, size and set colour
    click on the normal slide and add other content that is to be seen on that slide only
    adding new slides will use the background design

  • Is there a way to set up a template that can be edited that will update the webpage without having..

    I was wondering if there is a way to create a template that you can upload music, pictures,and videos to that will automatically upload to a server without having website software. Reason: I am making a website that I would like to be accesible without me having to upload all the above on a regular basis, just the owner of the website.

    Sounds to me as if you might like to have a look at Wordpress.
    Find a theme, add your modifications and then show the owner how to use Wordpress.
