Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me with this.....
I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
Thanks in advance for all responses.

There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

  • Installation Media for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash without Extra Software

    Is there a Installation Media format for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash which does not have McAfee, Google Chrome or Google Toolbar associated with the installation?  This deployment is for a IT department.  We do not want Google Chrome, Toolbar, or McAfee installed on our workstation, and we want to prevent our users from installing them when performing the upgrades to newer versions.  We want installation media without the extra software for deployment.  Does Adobe supply these?

    Re The first Link:
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

    I have done this.  I just need the refund that was mentioned on the bottom of the page that I have already cancelled on.  None of the other links on that page are relevant and none mention the word "Refund"

  • I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed

    I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed and need to re-install it - the only download I can find is for the free trial of Acrobat Professional, which is no good as my serial number does not work with this.
    Please can you provide a download link for Acrobat Standard
    Thank you

    Did you choose the download option at the time of purchase?  If so please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download the software from your account.

  • Is there a forum or additional documentation for Adobe Flex Connector for MS SQL Server?

    Is there a forum or additional documentation for Adobe Flex Connector for MS SQL Server?  I am having problems getting it to work.  Also it states that it is Flash Builder 4 certified but the code is all in halo (<mx:Application ...).  I followed the documentation in the included PDF to no avail.  I am looking for additional documentation - e.g.:  a)  where exactly (which directory on the SQL Server) to store the "fas_mssql_connector.asp" file;  b) how to code the URL to the  "fas_mssql_connector.asp";  c) wondering if the product is really Flex 4 certified.  Thanks for any help (especially pointers to additional documenation).

    I do have exactly the same questions. SO far the fas_mssql_connector.asp file is placed at the 'wwwroot' folder of the 'inetpub' folder of the IIS server. As hostname I use '[MyServer]' since it should run on the same machine and username and password are correct.
    The fas_MSsql_Clean file is setup in a way that the name of the database is specified and the url to the asp file is set as: http://[MyServer]/fas_mssql_connector.asp
    My SQL query looks like this:
    private function getDbData():void
        mssqlQuery("Select * from Tomat", "getDataO3");
    And the MXML document like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
        <mx:Script source="Actionscript/MSsql.as"/>
        <mx:Script source="Actionscript/SqlQueries.as"/>
        <mx:DataGrid x="148" y="95" id="dgData">
            <mx:columns>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="col1"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>
            </mx:columns>
        </mx:DataGrid>
        <mx:Button x="148" y="264" label="Get data" id="btnGet" click="getDbData()"/>
    </mx:Application>
    However the application is busy for a long time and I do not receive a single piece of data. Any help with this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How many Licenses of Acrobat Professional do I need for Adobe LC PDF Generator

    Hi,
    At our customer site we have purchased 6 licenses of Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and have recieved a license file with the keys for Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We bought the license from a reseller of the product. We understand that the Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator is a server based software and needs 1 license per CPU. Each of our server (Dev, Val & Prod) have 2 CPU's so we have sufficient licenses (6). We are under the impression that this would suffice. How ever we are not sure on how many licenses we need for Acrobat Professional.
    Here is a brief description of the way we would use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. We are deploying a PLM system and one of the requirement is to render Word documents to PDF so we are using PDF Generator for this capability. On our Adobe servers we will install Microsoft Word, Acrobat Professional V9 Extended and the Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator. We will have around 150 users for the PLM system being deployed. The PLM system is a Web based system which means the PLM application server will be running on a Solaris server in our case. As part of the workflows in the PLM system, at the end of the workflow process, the PLM server would trigger a request to the Adobe server to convert the word document to PDF. The Adobe server processess the request and returns the PDF file that gets generated.
    Based on the above usage of the system how many licenses of Acrobat Professional do we need? We will be installing Acrobat only on the server where we install the Livecycle PDF Generator. We had a call with our purchasing person today and she cautioned us that for Adobe Acrobat Professional we might need 1 license per user of the PLM system. She has asked us to check this with the Vendor of the product. Somehow I don't think it makes sense to purchase so many Acrobat Professional licenses even though we install only once.
    So can someone tell me How does the licensing for Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator work? How many Acrobat Professional licenses we actually need? Is it based on the number of users in the system that is triggering the request? Appreciate your response on this.
    Regards,
    Ragha

    You really should talk to your Adobe Sales Rep about this.  There are all kinds of special deals, licenses and such for customers using LiveCycle.  (For instance the license for PDFG may include Acrobat licenses for certain uses).

  • XML Publisher Template Builder for Adobe Acrobat

    Need a XML Publisher Template Builder for adobe acrobat as is available for word.

    I did so.. however, publisher is not able to substitute xsl syntax by the actual value..
    eg.
    i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
    when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
    substitution is not happening..
    the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
    for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
    any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

  • I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

    I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend?  How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

    1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
    2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
    3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
    4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

  • Auto number form field for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard?

    I'm creating an online form using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and need to know how create an automatic sequential system for each form.
    For example, if a customer prints form 1 from the website, I need the next form to be tracked as form 2, and the next will automatically become 3, etc.
    Is there a way to do this with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, or do I need Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Thanks!

    Neither will help with what you want. The web server would have to be responsible for generating a new number each time the file is served, and somehow modifying the document to include the number. The document could be set up to request a number from the server and returning it in a response, but it would still be something that's managed by the server. Both approaches require server-side programming.

  • Has anyone tried this? AutoMailMerge Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat

    Mail Merge in Acrobat 9 Professional?
    Hi, All!
    I have been told that I can perform a mail merge similar to MS Word from within Acrobat Pro 9. The main document (with merge type fields) needs to be an Acrobat .pdf. The data source can come from an external file. The key is that the merge is performed in Acrobat, not Word.
    I have searched throughout Acrobat Pro 9 but have found no functionality that matches my needs. Can anyone help me with this?
    I was informed the there is this outside company that has this "AutoMailMerge™ Plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat®"
    http://www.evermap.com/automailmerge.asp
    Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Will it do what I'm looking do? 
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    … in there, you'll find some not-so-known 'tricks' to fasten the process of synching, such as using Markers (not 'on beat' just 'approx').
    I tried with my multicam soccer-recordings = no music (aside the referee's whistle ), and FCPX managed indeed to synch this stuff - impressive!

    I have previously had no problem typing in text boxes on PDF fillable forms in Firefox but now nothing appears when I try in to type the information in. I am not having this problem with the same PDF forms on either the Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers.

    Your system details list show shat you have two Adobe Reader plugins installed.
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.1
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.5"

  • Where can I get a download file for Adobe Acrobat X Standard?

    I need a download file for Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I have an installation CD & serial # that was never activated, but the computer I'm trying to put it on does not have a CD drive. Is there anywhere I can find a download file for this?

    As long as it is not a Mac there is a chance the download can be found on the following page:
    Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
    I say "a chance" because Acrobat Standard tends to be an issue when it comes to download availability ...  give it a try.
