Make a PDF form in pages?

Hi!
I need to create a PDF form (hope that's the name for it)
I other words, a PDF with fields that can be altered.
Like any form that you can download online and fill out your name, other stuff, then save and send back.
Is this possible in pages?

No, not really. There are workarounds but you still need Acrobat to finish it.

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.

I have a PDF form (50 Pages) to fill out. I'm trying to use Adobe Reader, it is very slow having to tag Fill & Sign on each line. How can I accomplish this task quicker?

What is the best tool to fill out a PDF form, (50 pages). I have Adobe Reader, & Acrobat XI Pro; at least I think I do, Acrobat XI Pro may need to be installed.

Is it a fillable form? That is one where you can just type into it because it was prepared that way? If not, it is absolutely unreasonable to expect it to be filled on screen. Print it and write on it.

How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks

Can I make a PDF form and submit to CF?

Hi.
I'm wonder that can I make this.
I'd like to design a form like Purchase Order sample from
LifeCycle Designer. And want to submit it like a POST method to a
ColdFusion backend. Think like a HTML form submission.
Could it be possible? Or I've to have LifeCycle ES for this
kind of task.
PDF form generated from CF and submit to CF -> Database
seems like an attraction to me. No hassle to fix CSS bug.

Read documentation on CF8 : "Although forms created in
LiveCycle Designer allow several types of submission, including XDP
and XML, ColdFusion 8 can extract data from HTTP post and PDF
submissions only".

How do I make a PDF form with data-merge capabilities (to use with .xls spreadsheet)?

I would like to design a form in InDesign (CS2), export it to a PDF, use Adobe LiveCycle to make it into a form, then use data from an excel spreadsheet to populate the form in a repetative fashion so that each person in the spreadsheet gets a populated form with only their applicable data on it. Is this possible?

You can use LiveCycle Designer's Data Connection to access an SQL data base. Excel can act as an SQL database.

A better way to make a pdf form?

Hi,
I've got a form that I use. Here is my process:
Created form layout in InDesign, export to PDF, in PDF create form fields that are clickable, check boxes.
Is there a way to give those check boxs in InDesign som sort of script or name that will get exported with the PDF so that I can skip doing it in Acrobat?
Basically, I want to tag my check boxes in InDesign so that when they export to PDF they are live check boxs, selectable in Acrobat. Can it be done?
Thanks,
Stan

Welcome to Unix.
The key part of that shell script code is the test for the existence of the mount point (if [ -e /Volumes/dbamp ]), followed by a conditional block that — in the "else" section involved when the mount point wasn't found — creates it, and then mounts an AFP file system on that mount point. Most of the rest of the baggage in that script is used to get the mysqldump database dumps over onto the target disk, once it's been mounted.
Here's a very quick overview of the basics of scripting , Apple's introduction to the command line manual, there's a generic bash intro (which is good, but doesn't line up exactly with how bash is implemented on OS X) and O'Reilly has some reasonable books on bash and bash scripting. Once you know and are comfortable with the basics, there are advanced bash guides available.

How do I make a PDF form that is fillable for iPhone users?

I recently created a fillable form using Adobe LiveCycle and I need the form to be accessible for iPhone users. I downloaded the Adobe Reader app on my iPhone, but I am not able to access any of the drop down menus and the fillable fields do not appear.
Can someone help me resolve this problem?
Thank you!!

Alright, I don't think I'm going in the right direction with this. It seems to be very difficult to make a form from scratch using Adobe Pro, as compared to LiveCycle. Is there an easier way to accomplish my goal without having to re-create this entire form in Pro?
The LiveCycle form I made was made from scratch and contains many text boxes and drop down menus, I'd rather not have to recreate it if I don't have to.
I appreciate any help.

How to make writer PDF form accessible to other users?

Hello,
I have created a form in Adobe Professional version 8. Actually I created it in Word and converted it online to PDF.
In the Adobe 8 version I am able to type and complete the form fields, however if I share it with anybody else, who has a lower version, they are not able to do so.
The purpose of my document is to post it on a website and it should be used as a request form that just can be saved, completed and send as an attachment by email, so no printing.
Can someone please advise what I should do?
Thank you.
Best regards, Elke
[email protected]

Hello,
I have started to create a form with Adobe 8 Professional with the form option. The creation took place via adobe lifecycler designer.
I can type and save the form now but once I send it to someone else, with a lower PDF version, they are still unable to do so, they can print it but not save, complete, save and return the completed form to me.
Let me know what I should enable to get this done.
I wish I could just attach the form so you could have a look at it, is that possible?
thanks
