Merge form responses for review?

We have a scholarship application PDF form which requires submission of three references. Currently, each reference is submitted on a separate PDF reference form.
What is the best way to include all three references with each submitter's application data for review?
Can we include field(s) in the application form which are completed by a different person (the one providing a reference)?
Separate but related:
Applicant must provide academic transcript(s). Can an uploaded file be requested from/uploaded by a third party?

You could either 1) add the reference fields to the main form they are filling out or 2) create a different form for the references and use the applicants name to tie the references back to the main application form.
If you made it separate forms then someone else could fill it out.
We do support uploading of files as part of any form submission.
Hope that answers your questions.

  • Merge form responses into single pdf

    I have 30 form responses and would like to combine them into a single pdf.  When I use the Merge Files Into Single PDF feature, the forms are combined into a single pdf, but the first form is duplicated 30 times.  In other words, the form fields on the other 29 forms are replaced with the data from the first form.  Can multiple form responses be combined into a singe pdf and the data be retained for each form?

    It is a bit late but I recently came across the same issue with combining mutliple PDF forms for which form fields have identical names. For example 100 people fill out the same PDF form and you need to combine them into one.
    I beleive you need to have Acrobat Pro
    1. File > Export > Export Multiple (This brings a dialog up where you can drag and drop a group of files.)
    2. Click OK
    3. Select EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
    4. Click OK (Now you have .eps files of each PDF)
    5. Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller
    6. Select Standard
    7. Drag all the EPS files into Distiller
    PS - If anyone has a better solution please let me know!

  • Fillable form fields for an Employee Performance Review ?

    So i've designed our Employee Perfomance Review in InDesign, exported the PDF and created form fields in Acrobat 9. The goal is to have a PDF that contains fillable form fields for our yearly reviews that can be filled out, saved, and re-opened and edited again in Adobe Reader. They will need to be edited by several people from different computers.
    The problem i'm running into is this: Each employee will have at least two supervisors contributing to their reviews. So, this form needs to be able to be edited by one person and saved, then forwarded to the next person who would in turn add their comments. The second reviewer would then save their information, send it back to the first reviewer, who would finalize the document, save it digitally and print it out so we would have a hard copy.
    The main goal is to have a document that can be passed back and forth and remain editable.
    I can use the Distribute Form option in Acrobat, but this information needs to be accessable by the completer of the form and HR only, and not myself. Using Distribute form would require HR to purchase a version of Acrobat to distribute the forms and access the information...either that or they would have to use my computer to distribute the form and recieve responses.This still doesn't solve my main problem. From everything I have seen, the distributed forms can only be submitted, and not saved or passed around.
    If the PDF is sent out as an attachment, it can be filled out and printed to PDF to save it digitally, but it can't be edited again in Reader.
    I'm looking for a way to utilize Acrobat for this, and not resort to using Word or some other program. The reason we upgraded to Acrobat 9 in the first place was because we thought it would make this process work. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    aaardvrk

    Thanks. It looks like we're covered under 15.12.3(b) since this document will only be distributed to about 10 supervisors. I interpret this to mean that we can use this document as many times as we like as long as the total number of Users (supervisors) doesn't exceed 500.
    "For any unique Extended Documnent, you may either (a)... ; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients."
    Thanks again.

  • How can I send an unfinished website to another computer for review?

    A friend and I are creating a fan-based website. I am working on it since I have iWeb experience and he doesn't. He also does not have a Mac. Once it is published it will be my responsibility to maintain it. Without publishing the unfinished site, is there a way I can e-mail the unfinished site/pages to him for review as I work through the design?

    The only way I can think of WITHOUT publishing it to the internet would be to publish your site to a local folder, zip it, and then email / send it using an iDisk if too large for emailing. (Type in "Publishing to a folder" in the iWeb help menu). If it's too large to email you can use your iDisk to share it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1774
    That said there may be an easier way around all that. Are you publishing to MobileMe? Just add a password to your site and publish it. That way only someone with the password can login and see it. Give your friend the password. (Type in "Protecting a site with a password" in the iWeb help menu)
    Hope that helps.

  • Are form responses removed from Adobe server when deleted by user?

    This is a server security question; when form responses are exported to excel, and then deleted from the workspace, do they remain on the Adobe server or are they gone?  I need to know this to know the level of security that is applied to the server to determine if we can use Adobe with sensitive information. I understand forms are encrypted when responses are returned, but what happens to the information that is on the server?
    Thanks

  • Can't get rid of the "your document is being tracked for reviews" message

    I used Adobe Professional for the first time to conduct reviews on PDFs. I used the "Send for review by email" option. Now I am done with the review, have incorporated the comments, have compiled FrameMaker files, and produced a new PDF. But when I open the final PDF, I still get the message that you are opening a document that is being tracked for review. How do I make sure the message goes away?

    Basically, while I was trying to figure out how I was going to send my forms to people, I tested the "Send for review by email" function, just as the OP did.
    Pretty sure that's what triggered my form to be stuck in this "Marked for Review" mode.
    Appreciate any help y'all can give me.

  • How to collect form responses in adobe formscentral and at the same time receive form responses through email

    My client wants to have the form that I created in FormsCentral to be able to collect email responses. So to do this, I downloaded the form as PDF then imported it into Acrobat. I created a button in Acrobat (this will be for the email response part). I used this script for that function:
    // This is the form return email. It's hardcoded
    // so that the form is always returned to the same address.
    // Change address on your form to match the code below
    var cToAddr = "[email protected]"
    // First, get the client CC email address
    var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
    // Now get the beneficiary email only if it is filled out
    var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
    if(cBenAddr != "")
    cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
    // Set the subject and body text for the email message
    var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"
    var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the filled form attachment for your own records"
    // Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an email
    this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
    I got it from here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address
    I'm still kinda not sure how it works but I'm getting the idea. Now what I'm having trouble with is, how do I make it so that the user will be required to click on the scripted button and at the same time, also click on the FormsCentral's generated submit button? Because as I see it, the user can click on the scripted button but they can just close out the form without submitting it to FormsCentral.
    Is there any way to make my idea work?
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I do not know or have time right now to look up NDP format.
    To write to NTFS from Mac, you need a driver.
    And to write to HFS from Windows also.
    I strongly recommend Paragon drivers for both.
    That way you can access anything from any platform.

  • 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.

  • Compile Form Responses into a Single pdf in Acrobat X

    I sent a single pdf using the Distribute function in Acrobat X to several different people.  I was under the impression that I would be able to merge all responses into a single pdf document.  Each form field has a unique name and each field will be filled in by only one person responding.  Is there a way to do this in Acrobat X?

    This is not how forms usually work. Ususally, each person fills in the entire form, and the distributor combines all the responses into a speadsheet.
    I'm not sure if the tracker is able of doing what you want. But what you can do is export the form data from each file, and then import all of these files into your PDF.

  • Is there a way to revert to the original form responses in Forms Central?

    I was reviwing responses in Forms Central, and I noticed a few cells had been shaded as "Manually edited." I am the only person with access to our responses, so I'm guessing that as I was using my scroll button on my mouse, I accidentally changed something. (My mouse has been acting up lately, and the computer has registered a double click when I only single clicked.)
    Is there a way to revert back to the original form responses? I caught this too late for be able to just use "undo."

    HI,
    >> but it only let me go back one step. It didn't let me go back any further.
    OK, then maybe you made (by accident) some changes prior to your current editing session. You might have edited the form, made 'change1', closed the form, and reopened it. At this point you cannot use Edit / Undo to undo 'change1'.
    It looks like you need to undo your changes manually. You could take a look at the View Responses table history to see what you had before.  At the View Responses tab, click on the clock-history icon on your lower right corner, you will see the History bar and you can select a previous version to see.
    Thanks,

  • PDF form responses coming back uneditable

    I have created a lengthy form in InDesign (v.9.2) for a client, which I have exported to PDF then extended in Acrobat Pro (11.0.06) under File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.
    This makes the form savable (if that's a real word.) The form is sent to their clients, which they fill in, save and send back by email.
    When the form returns, my client wants to be able to edit some of the responses further (mainly checkboxes) then re-save but the Save option in file menu is greyed out. The purple bar says 'Click "Sign" to fill out and send this form etc...'.  If you try to 'Save as > PDF', it will only save a blank copy of the form.
    I assume the client's clients use Reader for the input, and the client definitely uses just Reader.
    I have suggested using an original copy and checking all the checkboxes that the client specified, but they are getting a lot of these forms back and that would be too time-consuming.
    Is there a way round this without them having to upgrade to Acrobat Pro? That would make them distinctly unhappy. Though if the community decreed that was the only option, it could be considered.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    The form that you sent is not Reader-enabled, so that would be the reason it's not savable with Reader versions prior to 11. Reader 11 is able to save non-enabled forms, so I would your clients could use it, but this doesn't help unless all of the people they distribute it to use Reader 11 as well.
    You should not provide clients with Reader-enabled forms, except for testing purposes. If they will be distributing a form for the purpose of collecting data and need Reader-enabled forms, they need to enable them with their own version of Acrobat. This is an Acrobat licensing issue.
    The Acrobat license also limits the licensee from using data from no more than 500 instances (including hardcopies) of an enabled form if the form has been made available to more than 500 recipients. A way to avoid this limitation is to use Adobe's FormsCentral service, which allows PDF forms to securely submit the form data, which is collected by a server. A team or people can have access to the data and export any response as a filled-in PDF, which can be  further edited as they want. They could instead set up their own web server to collect submissions, but this requires some expertise and more expense, particularly if security is needed. A form can also be set up to submit just the form data by email, which also avoids the licensing limitations, but since email is not secure and notoriously unreliable, it should not be considered for anything of much importance.
    Note that Acrobat Standard is sufficient for enabling the form for use with Reader.
    You should also make them aware of the Preview problem that I mentioned earlier. If they encounter a form that has been corrupted by Preview, they should export the form data and import it into the original blank form. They will need Acrobat for this.

  • AA XI Standard: No "Share" button to simply attach pdf to email without asking for review and comment?

    In AA X, there was a "Share" button which would allow me to attach a copy of the current pdf to an email to be sent out. The pdf wouldn't be for "review" or "comment." Just a plain, vanilla, "Here's a copy of a document."
    I can't find that capability in XI Standard. I found a way to send for comment and review. How can I just send? (Other than creating an email in my client (Outlook) and then attaching from there, which then requires me to navigate to the desired pdf).
    Many thanks.
    Ken

    Vikrantt,
    Thanks for your response. However that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Doing that invites the recipient to comment. As my original post said, I'm not looking to invite comments on the document. I just want to send it by email, as I could with Acrobat X.
    Is there no way to do that simply? As my original post said, the only way I can see is to create an email in Outlook and then attach a file, which means I have to navigate to the location where the pdf is stored. A lot of extra steps.
    Thanks.
    Ken

  • Send for Review

    I am trying to test the Send for Review feature in Captivate 4.  I am able to send it to myself, open the file, make comments, and then save it.  However, when I send it back to myself, it is opening as a Microsoft outlook file, or else just as code.  Any ideas on how I can see the comments?

    Hi there
    When you elected to send it for review, you specified a location for the comments to be placed. After you viewed and saved the file, the comments should just appear in Captivate. But you will need to click Window > Comments in order to see the comments.
