Mobile PDF signing

So I have been trying to create a "service report" for our company. I created a form with forms central, and all in all I just love the way it works. I tried doing it via excel and importing into reader to create a form. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but it would never read all my text boxes I had in excel. Then I would have to create text fields, which would be dozens! Forms has been really worth it now!
Anyways I am trying to iron out small details now. The PDF is built, and functions awesome except for a few "minor?" things.
1)This form is going to be distributed amoung a bunch of my workers, so they can fill out electronically on a tablet or phone. I do want to have signatures in there, which I can make happen. The few problems I am having is although the signature is created on the tablet or phone it never wants to show up when the office computer accesses the new saved file. I also want it to be able to be recognized on office computer in the actual signature space. Not just a "picture" that is displayed on the screen. Just for lockout pourposes mainly. We will have customer signatures on site, I want to be able to lock out all fields once it has been signed. So I am not sure if once I can get the desktops to recognize a mobile signature, if it will all just fall into place or not.
2)I have been looking into this whole echosign thing, but no matter how hard I try I can't find it anywhere on the mobile adobe reader app. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I am on the latest version. Just trying to see if it would be a better way for distribution. Basically now, the easiest way I can find of doing it is this: We have the "orignal" file on a google drive, that would then have to be saved to each device in order to edit of course. From there you would have to duplicate the file and rename it to your job and date. Then it could be uploded back into drive where the office can access it at anytime.
3)*edit* I also seem to have an issue when I try and put my signature options in. When I go to select the fields for read-only portion it won't select any checkboxes or anything. When I select select all it will select them, but as soon as I hit ok it all goes away and nothing happens!
Any input is MUCH appreciated. I tried doing a search but could really not find my answer.
thanks in advance!

>How we will check that all the signatures have been put or not inside PDF on clicking the submit button on the web page?
You'd need a PDF library that can do this detailed, and rather
complicated, analysis. I think the Adobe PDF Library would do this,
but it would be awkward. You can't use Acrobat on a server, so its API
can't help.

Pdf javascript in mobile pdf reader

Hello all,
I have embadded some javascript in my pdf and the javascript works in PC adobe reader. I find that the javascript does not work android adobe reader, can i ask how can I preview the pdf open in android adobe reader or I can write some javscript for android adobe reader?
for example, in PC, the javascript is this.closeDoc();
what is the javascript in android adobe reader?
Many Thanks
Sunny

With Adobe Mobile Reader some JavaScript is supported but not all.
So testing if very important to determine if your script will work or not.
Also you need to be aware that not all apps on mobile devices support JavaScript so again testing by individual app is needed to determine if your script will work or not.

Flex Mobile - PDF not displaying error - "Adobe Reader not found"

Hi everyone,
Is viewing PDF documents supported in Flex Mobile projects? At the moment, I get an error saying:
"Adobe Reader not found"
I am converting my Adobe Air Desktop project to a Mobile project with Flashbuilder 4.5.1. Any documentation reference on how to get PDF's to view on Flex Mobile applications would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset" is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb) is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

View previous saved comments on mobile pdf app

On the computer, I can view my previously saved comments. Is there a similar feature on the mobile version of PDF? (Idk if it helps, but I have a nexus 7)

Vaibhav: Yes I was aware of seeing comments if you are already on the page.
My question is: say you put a stickynote next to an important table, definition and also one on a table (all in different pages). If I wanted to see a listing of these comments (without being on their respective page already or knowing the page they are in) Can I pull down a listing of these comments and then choose to go to a specific one.

Foxit mobile pdf

Will Lumia 920 will support mobilepdf

There are three different actions that the desktop version of Adobe Reader supports for links.
Go to a page view (within the same document)
Open a web page
Open a file
Adobe Reader Touch supports the first two but does not support opening a PDF file or any other types of files due to security implications.
We will consider adding the support for the file open action in a future release once we address any security issues associated with the action.
Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) supports hyperlinks to other files. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with the Widows RT operating system.

How to create interactive PDF in Acrobat Pro 11 from Indesign 6 on a Mac and keep all interactivity?

I've seen much discussion on this topic or issue.
I have a 175 page doucment that needs an active TOC, urls that link, buttons that "go back to TOC" on each page and "to next page - to previous page". You can only see the functions properly in Acrobat Reader.
What's up with that? That doesn't work for my deverse client base.
Is it because this was a file originally created in ID 5? I ask because I have since created a new file, exactly the same way with the same interactive attributes as the file that doesn't work and it works fine.
Is my file too many pages for Acrobat to handle?
Please help, my contract depends on this file working.

What you're asking for is perfectly achievable, but it won't work universally. The page count is immaterial.
Table of Contents entries created in InDesign are automatically converted into links when exported to PDF, provided the hyperlinks option on the PDF export dialog has been checked. They should work fine in any desktop software.
Buttons which link to a fixed page and 'next page/previous page' buttons created in InDesign will use a link method that requires JavaScript - this is fully-supported in the Acrobat Family on desktop platforms, but third-party renderers such as Firefox's internal viewer, and mobile PDF apps, have little or no support for scripting.

Fillable PDF created on Mac, filled in on Mac's/PC's have empty fields when emailed to iPhone/iPad

Hi!
I create fillable forms on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat and both PC and Mac customers fill in the forms and submit them to their own customers.
When I fill in the form on my Mac (using Adobe Acrobat) and email it to me and open the PDF on my Android the filled-in information is there.
When I fill in the form on my Mac (using Adobe Acrobat) and email it to my customer and he opens the PDF on his iPhone/iPad all the filled-in information is gone, the fields are blank.
When he fills in the form on his PC (I'm assuming he's on a PC, he may be on Mac but regardless he's having the problem) using the free Reader and emails it to himself and opens the PDF on his iPhone/iPad all the filled-in information is gone, the fields are blank.
What can I do on my end, when using the full Adobe Acrobat on my Mac to create forms, to make them in such a way that when my customer emails a filled-in PDF from their computer the filled-in info stays intact on the iPhones/iPads?
I can't tell each customer individually that he/she has to download a particular app because the PDF viewer on their phone won't show the filled-in information, that would a logistics nightmare, so I need to figure out what to do on my end when initially creating the forms so that the filled-in information will show up on their iPhones/iPads.
Help please?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

There are two basic approaches to this problem:
1. Convince every user to use a compliant PDF viewer, one that supports forms (e.g., Adobe Reader, PDF Expert on iOS)
2. Flatten the form after filling it in and before sending it along for other users to view
You mentioned some of the problems with #1.
For #2, if a form is flattened, the form fields will get converted to regular page contents, allowing non-forms-capable PDF viewers to see the data. Acrobat users can flatten a form a number of ways. The problem is with Reader, which doesn't have a specific form flattening feature. Desktop versions of Reader (Mac/Windows) flatten forms when they are signed with the new EchoSign e-signature feature and saved, but this feature is not available with forms that are Reader-enabled. All this means there is currently no way to guarantee that the data in a filled-in form will be viewable on all mobile PDF viewers, but there are some things you can do to increase the odds.

IOS pdf viewer cannot display text that was entered in acrobat forms???

hi.
i have a blank PDF form. i enter text into this form on my mac, i use the latest adobe acrobat or adobe reader to do this. i email this filled out form to a person. the person uses an iphone or ipad to view his mail. he is a novice user, no extra apps installed. the user opens the attached pdf (default ios pdf reader) and the form is displayed.
but – not a single word i entered into the form is displayed.
it seems that forms that are filled out with acrobat/reader can't be correctly displayed on an iphone/ipad? They show up blank!
I tested this with a few documents, same result.
any help?
Cheers!

The basic readers might not process field forms, just the basic context of the PDF.
It is best to add an app that can process Acrobat PDF forms, not just read them. I would look at PDF Expert since it appears to be the most compatible and runs custom JavaScripts in forms. Another option would be the Adobe Mobile PDF Reader.
Did you create the PDF form?
PDF forms can be created by Acrobat, AcroForms, or using LiveCycle, XML forms. The majority of iOS or android mobile devices cannot process XML forms.
Trying to read PDFs on mobile devices requires testing of the PDF to fix display issues and if you are using forms the JavaScript within forms needs to be tested for compatibility with various app readers to see if the form fields and code even work.

Embedded pdf file in MS Excel cannot be open in Surface RT.

Hi,
I have a problem opening the embedded pdf file in my MS Excel in my Surface RT.
When I clicked on the pdf file, it shows "Cannot start the source application for this object".
I have the Adobe Reader Touch installed in my Surface RT.
Does anyone face the same problem? Any solution for the issue?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with Modern UI) does not support embedded PDF files.
Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) does support it. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with the Windows RT operating system. Hence, you are not able to install and run Adobe Reader XI on Surface RT.
I tried other PDF viewers (that are Windows Store apps), such as Microsoft Reader, Foxit Mobile PDF for Win8, on my Surface RT by changing the default PDF application. But none of them opened embedded PDF files successfully.
It looks like your only choice is to view those Microsoft Excel/Word files with embedded PDF on your desktop machine, laptop or other devices with Intel-based processors. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Make a PDF Portfolio with Chapters work on an iPad

Hi, I have created a PDF Portfolio document for iPad. I built the document in InDesign as a Digital Publication (iPad 768x1024,vertical only). The portfolio contains a number of chapters with each chapter containing a number of pages. I’ve built navigation hyperlinks into the PDF file in Acrobat DC. The PDF Portfolio file works perfectly on desktop computers and I am able to view all chapter and pages, but when I try to open it on an iPad I just get directed to ‘download Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later’. I’ve tried opening it on 3 different iPads that are all running the latest version of Acrobat DC Reader and get the same message every time.
I tried making a second version of the file without the combining the chapters into a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat DC, just running all of the pages together in a single file, with hyperlinks on the contents page and it works perfectly on the iPad. So how can I get it to work on an iPad as a Portfolio with Chapters, can you give me any advice?

Hi,
I presume that "chapters" are individual PDF documents that are contained in your PDF Portfolio.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS and Android) support the hyperlink to jump to a page view within the same PDF document or open a web page (http://... or https://...). Unfortunately, the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps do not support the hyperlink to open a different PDF document (regardless of whether it is included in a Portfolio or not).
Please note that most mobile PDF viewers for iOS and Android do not support Portfolios.
To make your PDF document compatible with any PDF viewers on desktop computers and mobile devices, I'd recommend the second version - "all of the pages together in a single file with hyperlinks".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mobile viewing options?

Hi just wondering how your pdf sharing works with mobile devices, in particular, when viewing with a mobile browser after clicking an adobe send link...
such as what happens if the mobile device has a mobile pdf reader installed...or doesn't have one installed....can the file contents be seen either way?
Is the page mobile responsive?
Are there any known browser limitations (safari vs. andorid stock, vs chrome, vs. firefox) etc. ?
Is the mobile device prompted to download a pdf reader or are there any similar distraction?
Will mobile browsing viewing reformat text?
Please advise
Thanks
Ernst

AFAIK, there are none. The MB does not have a PCMCIA card slot available to insert one of the cards that would be needed.
You can use a cel phone as a connection I suppose, but that is up to your service provider - if they offer it and if they have the USB adapter to use with your cel phone.
I looked into it a little bit ago and got very frustrated with the lack of options.

How do I open a web based PDF document on my iPad?

I am unable to open web based PDF documents as I fear Apple does not trust PDF documents on the Web.

Hi Rick,
Did you try attaching screenshots to your reply to the email from this forum? Because the Adobe forums do not accept any type of attachments for security reasons, your photo attachments did not get through. Sorry about that.
But I think I know what you saw when you tried to open one of the PDF Application Forms on the Alberta (Canadian) government web site.
Did you see a message like this in Safari on your iPad?
Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
If so, the PDF form is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form". The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
As far as I know, there are no iOS apps that support dynamic XFA forms. The mobile version of Adobe Reader does not support dynamic XFA forms. Neither does Safari or iBooks on iOS. It's the limitation of mobile PDF viewer apps.
To recap
Dynamic or static XFA forms - Use the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or Windows computer.
Most PDF documents and non-XFA forms - Use the mobile or desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Please note that Apple iOS apps (such as Mail, Safari, and iBooks) do not display filled form data or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, etc.) at all. If a PDF document/form is first opened in Mail, Safari, or iBooks, you need to use the iOS "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
(This is the same FAQ document that I mentioned in my reply #2 above.)
In this particular case, using the "Open In" feature to transfer the PDF Application Form from Safari to Adobe Reader for iOS does not help. Because Adobe Reader for iOS cannot display the dynamically generated content of the XFA form from the Alberta government web site.
But you should be able to open other "regular" PDF documents (just like the one that I provided as a sample link) in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

PDF Form Submit Alert to find missing fields

I have created a PDF form using Adobe Acrobat X Pro for our website and am testing it. When I submit my form, but have left required fields blank, I want it to locate those blank fields. Instead it makes me find the missing fields, which is hard to do on my complex form. Please help I have searched and found no answers.

I see. You can't change this built-in feature behavior, but you could implement your own scheme with JavaScript. The problem with this approach is it won't work if JavaScript is disabled or not (fully) supported, as with most mobile PDF viewers. It would involve replacing the Submit Form action with the submitForm JavaScript method, but only after a script scans the required fields to see if any are blank. The script could set just the missing fields' border color and even set the focus to the first missing one. One problem with setting the border color is it would print in that color, unlike the other type of highlighting.
If you want to pursue this JavaScript option, post again.
