Is this the product I need to create PDF from a form online?

Hello,
I need to develop an application where the user fills out an online form and a pdf is automatically created and emailed to them, a copy is also archived. Am I looking in the corect place by exploring LiveCycle PDF Generator or am I looking for something else? I am currently using php and MySQL but from the looks of it may be necesary to use XML. This is very new to me so any direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nils Satterstrom

I am in the same boat as Nils. Has anyone made any discoveries on this? I have a call in to a "specialist" at Adobe, but it will be 3-5 days before someone gets back to me. I want to collect the data using PHP/MySQL and then populate a PDF template of some sort to create a print-ready PDF that I can send to my printer.
An example of how we plan on using this is with business cards. We're going to create a business card template PDF with form fields for Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc. and then have the user enter in their information and then create a print-ready PDF we could send to the printer to get printed. I am unclear on which Adobe product would work for this. The pre-sales team at Adobe said we might want to look into InDesign server and LiveCycle. I guess the starting price tag for either of those is $10,000.
Any insight would be great. Thanks!

Amigo, the bottom line is that you are asking the wrong folks. Obviously no one here has experience buying from Apple with the jockeying around that you need to afford the purchase. In the end it is up to Apple. If the sale doesn't go through on the Apple Store website in her name on your bank card, then you may need other arrangements.
My experience with Apple is that if you are honest with them, they are honest with you. The education discount is to help students and teachers afford computers. It isn't so someone who qualifies can buy computers for all their relatives. Which is why there is an annual limit on how much is allowed for purchase to each person who qualifies for the discount
Good luck.

Creating pdf from web form

Hi
How can i create a pdf from my webform which i have filled partially.
I need it to be emailed (with the data that are filled) so that i can download it and then complete the form later.
Also i need to create the pdf dynamically (number of fields in my webform changes depending on a particular selection).
The webform is created using perl.
Anybody please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rahesh

Hi,
I would like to make the process automatic. For that I have installed the LiveCycle ES trial version and started working on it. I tried to generate PDF from http://localhost:8080/adminui/secured/admin.faces, but the generated PDF was real mess. The genereated PDF didn't have the text boxes and the drop down as designed.
Now I doubt, if LiveCycle will help in meeting my requirements.
I can give you a brief about my requirements. Please go through and let me know if LiveCycle can help me with this.
I have a webform (say "http://mydomain.com/invoice.php") which contains input boxes for entering invoice number, customer code, customer name, address, country, state, city, Total Amount, Comments etc. Here country and state fields are dropdowns. When I enter a customer code, all the information related to the customer are populated in the respective fields in the web form. And some fields will be filled in manually. From this web form, I want to generate a PDF with the required data and then email it to our customers. Also I should be able to download the PDF file.
Also when the customer download the pdf, there should be the data which we have populated through our code. Also they must be able to edit certain fields and must not be able to edit other fields. After the process of updating the PDF file, the customer must be able to save the file with customer updates.
I want to know whether I would be able to accomplish this project through Livecycle?.
Awaiting your guidance.
Thanks
Rahesh

Is this the product I need to have wireless internet access??

My question is quite simple, but I've never owned a laptop before so this is new to me!
I have a MacBook and we have internet, but we'd like to be able to connect wirelessly so we don't have to sit at the desk all the time. (We have a Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem.) What product do I need to buy to do this?
Thanks so much!!!
Jessica

Jessica,
The cheapest way in is to buy the Airport Express.
All the base stations do the same basic wireless networking and then expand from there.
1. Airport Express plus Airtunes = $99
2. Airport Extreme = $179
3. Time Capsule plus internal Hard Disk = $299 or $499

Ask someone at your school... Do you have a Cloud redemption code, or a CS6 serial number?

I am on Windows 7, and I was on Adobe.com. I went to downloads and clicked on Acrobat XI standard. It downloaded. But when I went to run it said Acrobat XI Pro and would not accept my serial number. I have done this now 4 times. I think that the system is downloading the wrong version. I am getting very frustrated and unhappy with Adobe!!!!

Hi, both my husband and I have iphones synced to my apple id. It seems that we can't facetime due to this as it's like my email address is calling my email address! Is there anyway to fix this or will we need to create a new id for my husband's phone?

The Product Recovery function has been removed from this system

I get the following error when I try full system restore - "The Product Recovery function has been reomed from this system"?
How can I fix this?

welcome to the forum:
Have you made a recovery media before this problem occured??? if you haven't you may need to call Lenovo and ask for a set of recovery disks, or just use your own XP/Vista OS you got from somewhere, and load it on your machine then enter you own serial number that come with your machine.
Then proceed to download the various softwares and drivers applicable to your machine, the most important that you won't have is the predesktop area, if you think this is unacceptable then call Lenovo and obtain recovery media from them (a nominal handling and service charge of around 50 USD will be charged).

Adaptec AVA-2906 is this the PCI card needed to connect internal HD's?

Hi, I have an Adaptec AVA-2906, is this the PCI card needed to connect internal HD's? It has a socket on the board that looks like the type of plug used to connect hard drives. On the backplate it has a socket with 25 pin connecter with screw holes like on monitor plugs.
If this is the right device can I fit a HD bigger than 120gb?
Thanks
Robert

(A) do I have to fit a SATA card to put a third hard
drive inside the G4 or is there a ribbon connector
that has 3 plugs on it, like the one in that came
with the machine with two plugs that plugs into the
edge of the motherboard?
Without an ATA or SATA card you can install upto two hard drives. These drives are connected to the ATA controller built into your computer's logic board. It can only support two drives, a master and a slave. You can't buy a ribbon cable with three plugs and attach three drives.
(B) Looking at pics of the SATA plug connectors they
appear to be a lot smaller than the ribbon cable ones
in my Mac, do the ATA hard drives come with this
small type of connector?
SATA drives use a different data connector and a different power connector, although some SATA drives also come with a legacy molex power connector. The data connectors aren't interchangeable, ATA drives use a wide ribbon cable only, SATA drives use the much narrower cable only.
(C) Is there any other way of putting another HD
inside if I dont exceed 120gb?
In theory you could add a third hard drive to the zip bay, beneath the optical drive. However, it's not recommended by Apple due to possible heat issues. The ATA bus used for the optical drive and zip drive is also slower and may affect performance.
(D) Can 5,400 rev be mixed with 7200?
Yes, the spindle speeds and cache sizes are purely internal to the drive. The computer and OS probably don't even 'know' or 'care' about them.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?

In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.

This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
THanks
Matt

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks. I used to be able to do this in WORD 2003. I tried to create a PDF from Acrobat by selecting File > Create PDF >navigate to the WORD file > select three checkboxes >
Any help with getting the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks?

Try to do it from Word using the ribbon.

I recently updated to the latest Mac OS, and have lost the capacity to create PDFs from my HP scanner. Any suggestions?

I recently updated to the latest Mac OS, and in the process I seem to have lost the capacity to create PDFs from my HP scanner.
With each prior OS, I could scan and immediately save any scanned file in PDF format. Now it is not allowed, and creates a file
that has nothing but noise, even though the scan software seems to show that each scan is captured correctly (in the scan window,
before I ask it to save the file). When trying to save to PDF, I get a message that tells me that this is a read-only file, which I don't
quite understand, since the same scanning / saving process always created a PDF in the past.
iMac 27 inch----HP Officejet 7310
Any suggestions?

Thanks very much for the response. I checked for new HP software, and learned there is no new version. I also noted when reading about the new OS 10.9 that all driver software is now part of the MAC OS and no longer supplied by the vendor of the printer / scanner. I suspected this is where the trouble is located.....but I did not know how to ascertain what could be done to restore my PDF creation capabilities. The next message below yours had the solution, so all is well now. Now you know as well-----Many thanks again for taking the time to respond!!
