Is there a way to internally host a form?

Hi Adobe
I want to know if it's possible to internally host a form instead of using the adobe site.
Is there a way to convert the form into html and have it uploaded to my own server?
We are using the form to register students coming into our facility, we want to make sure that information is not accessed by third party and that even when the adobe servers are down we can still access the form.
Thanks

Sorry you can't host the HTML yourself. Storing the data on our system is pretty secure (see http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1384) and we are rarely down. You can also export the data once in a while to a local system so you can access it when offline.
But if this doesn't work for you then one thing I can proposed to you (if you really want to take care of the data yourself) is to generate a PDF form instead of an HTML form. You will need a paid subscription for this. Then you can generate the PDF without a submit button. FormsCentral then won't collect data for this PDF. You can then use Adobe Acrobat to add a submit button to email the completed form to you via email. This way you are in charge of the data. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/5417336#5417336 for help on how to do this.
Hope this helps

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 save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

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 I can have my form calculate a total time from beginning and ending time?

Is there a way I can have my form calculate a total time from beginning and ending time?

Sorry, but Formscentral doesn't support either a timer function or any kind of calculation. You might be able to do this if created your form in PDF. For help with PDF form creation in Acrobat I suggest you repost your question to the Acrobat Forum.

Is there a way to customize the web form link in Adobe FormsCentral?

The dedicated link has a quite complicated address, not easily added to brochures to hand out. Is there a way to customize the web form link in Adobe FormsCentral?

It cannot be customized. The workaround is to create your own web page and embed our form into it. That way they only see your URL.

Is there a way for internal DHCP Scope to release scope addresses when the wifi client has disconnected?

DHCP scope is configured on a WLC 5508.
I'm checking if there' a way for WLC to clear the dhcp leasing when a user is diconnected from wireless?

Unless the client sends a DHCP Release upon disconnect, which is not mandaded in the protocol, the lease will simply remain until it has expired. If you're concerned with running out of leases, you only have 2 options.
1. reduce the lease time of your dhcp scope
2. increase the network size to accomodate more usable addresses.
There isn't a way to force a DHCP address lease to be "cleared" from the WLC simply because the client was disconnected.

Is there a way to enable tabbing betwen form fields on ipad?

I have forms created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro on an ipad 3. The forms work as expected apart from being able to use the tab key to move between fields. is there any way to enable this on the ipad. Works fine on a pc and tabs in the correct order.
thanks.

There is no tab button on the on screen keyboard. Instead, there you should use the prev/next. As for the bluetooth, this is something we're considering. One odd issue with PDF is that the fields aren't actually fillable fields until they are activated by tap. This is why the standard prev/next behavior with the tab key on the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work. However, this is something we're actively investigating for a future release. It won't be in our next release, but please keep an eye out for future updates.

Is there a way to create mutiple page forms in Acrobat that store 1 record per page?

Basically, I'm creating a form, that I would like to make notes on each page individually. I am running into an issue however, since the name of the fields are the same throughout the whole document. Is there a way for Acrobat to treat each page as an individual record, so I can track this data throughout the whole thing? Is my only alternative to resort to Javascript to change these names in acrobat? On the front end, I'm designing the form in InDesign, and then exporting to acrobat.

In Acrobat, a page can be made a template, which is really nothing more than a page that has been given a name. With JavaScript, you can spawn a template page to create a new one, and any fields a template page has can be automatically renamed when spawned (following a particular convention) so that each page's fields are independent from those on other pages. Note that JavaScript is not able to change a field's name, but it can create and remove fields.

Is there a way to open Word from forms 10g?

Is there a way to open Word from a 10g form? I am trying to pass some data to a word document (like a template). Is there a way to open word from a form button?

That assumes that the mime types are correctly mapped within the browser and that you already know the location and name of the file on the client machine.

Is there a way to submit a pdf form without redirecting my web page?

I have a fillable pdf form inside of a web page. When a user clicks on a submit button I have the pdf calling the submitform method. This redirects the web page to the url I specified inside of my pdf document. I don't want the web page to be redirected. I would like to have the pdf submitted to the server and know when I have handled the submission. Is there a way to do this?

Normally you'd return an (X)FDF in this situation. It can contain content that causes an informative popup dialog to be displayed to the user, fill in form fields, and some other things. Are you able to reprogram the server to return an FDF instead of HTML?

Is there a way to download the files form you iCloud backup? Not restore but actually download the files.

Is there a way to retrieve your backup files from iCloud? Wehn you backup locally, you can get to the actual backup files. Is there a way to retrieve these from iCloud? I want to actually examine the individual files.

AFAIK, no, nor is there anyway to view your icloud backup.

Is there a way to send a pdf form with a place for a picture. The picture could be added from the photo gallery or tablet camera?

Is there a way to send a form to a field force that allows a picture to be added. The field person could add the picture from the tablet's photo gallery or take a photo with the camera?

We have encountered the same problem at our company, and the following thread help us to resolve our problem:
Thanks to KevinCur.
Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive
"It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on. I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
To disable Protected Mode:
Start Adobe Reader
Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
Close Preferences & Close Reader"
We unchecked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box --> Yes --> OK. Our users are happy now. ^_^

If there any way to retrieve a deleted form? Ugh. Hope so!

I accidentally deleted a forum that I wanted to reuse- Is there any way to retrieve this?
Thanks!

You can recover it if it is in an iCloud or iTunes backup otherwise it is gone.
