Multipage forms to assess students - use 1 page per student?

Hi
I need to set up a form to assess 16 students...rather than have the assessors complete 16 separate forms. I can use conditional branching to show or hide pages based on a selection at the start (so the assessor only sees the pages for the students they want to assess), but how do I return results that can be separated out by student...i.e. if the same "questions" are on each page can I identify them separately?
Thanks

Sorry I don't quite understand your use case. Why do you not want the 16 students to fill out the form separately? If you do that, then you can easily see the results separated by student.

Printing multiple pages per sheet using a PostScript driver and GhostScript.

I have three PDF files containing a total of 165 pages. I would like to print 162 of these pages onto two sides of a 8.5 × 11 in. "Letter" size paper. That is 81 pages per sheet. I don't care about loss of clarity or readability, just that fact that there are 81 (or I suppose 80 would be possible and would fit much nicer) pages of the document shown. I've seen this done before, so it is possible. It involved printing using a PostScript driver. I don't own a PostScript printer, so GhostScript will take the resulting PostScript document and print it on a non-PostScript printer.
The first issue I'm having is with using the PostScript driver to print 80 pages per sheet. The only printing options I can find allow you to print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, no customizable value present.
Does anyone have any words of advice or a source for information on the process of how this can be done? Thanks in advance.

"The only printing options I can find allow you to print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, no customizable value present."
There's no "Custom..." to choose from.
Edit: Alright! I solved my own problem. In order to print a customizable number of pages per sheet 'Page Scaling', under the 'Page Handling' section of the 'Print' window, must be set to "Multiple pages per sheet". At this point more options populate the window, one of which is a new but seperate dropdown for 'Pages per sheet' with "Custom..." as a selection. This is different, however, from the 'Print' window's 'Properties' sub-window which has a form entry drop-down for 'Pages Per Sheet'. Hurray for unintuitive software GUIs! Hopefully this post will help others.

Multipages Form: JSF or Struts?

Hi! :) I'm italian so sorry in advance for my poor english! :P
I would like to know, as your experience, if, to create multipage forms, is more simple using Struts or Java Server Faces (jsf)....
In my opinion jsf is more simple becouse i cuold use one JavaBean only, and the different jsp pages could refer to that bean (scope request or other also?)...while using struts I must create an ActionForm, and so on...making more laborious job.
I don't have much experience with this 2 frameworks...so in your opinion which is the most simple to this kind of forms?
Thanks in advance! :)

JSF is better than Sturts. ("Until now there is no sucess story on JSF.")
Becoz, Struts inventor has been hired by SunMicroSystems to work with JSF. The same guy mentioned in an interview, that struts developement will be stopped in future.
Also..,
Until now there is no sucess story on JSF. Only time can decide which is best.
My suggestion is, better spend your time in learning more jsp and servlets specifications, XML/XSLT, JMS, Webservices rather JSF/Struts.
All these frameworks like JSF/Sturts will depends on your project requirement. There is a nice book and online document in this website about design patterns. Read those things if you have time. You will get good idea.
Well.., this is all my personal opinions.

Adobe form page per work table record

I have read detail records into a table and I want one page per record in that table. Other tables are to be subset of that record but all data to be written on each page relates to one record in the table. How do I set the hierarchy so each record in the top table makes a new page.
Easy to do in Smartforms but I want to use SFP as it is much more detailed when designing form.
I have laid out the Master Page and I want each record to fit into Content area.
Also the Master Page was uploaded directly from pdf created from users desgn in EXCEL which worked nicely.
Do any of the example (FP_TEST*) Adobe forms work easily as an example?

Solution: Define subform for the page.
subform tab > Content: flowed, Direction: Top to Bottom
Pagination    > Place; In Content Area If Dataset must be Paginated Overflow: Go To Content Area Overflow Leader *1st sub-subform
Binding        > Default Binding (the table with [*])
                         check Repeat Subform for each Data Item
                         check Min Count 1
This made each record in table a new page. In my case I was writing a cycle count record (LINV) with additional statistical and historical data.

Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly edit and use in my business. Ex: letterhead, envelopes, and legal forms. I recently drafted a legal form
for a client. saved it and then reopened and printed the next day. now when i try to open that form, ( or letterhead or envelope) i get a message that
it wont open and that i need a newer version of pages. but my pages software is up to date. Whats up with this??

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

Preview buggy when printing multiple pages per sheet using a custom paper size

I have a square book I've designed and I've printed the pages to a PDF. Now I'd like to re-print the pages so you can see facing pages together exactly like when, in preview, you select "View > Two Pages".
Each page is 12x12 so I'd like to re-print them to be 24x12 (24-wide)
I was previously able to do this in preview (prior to mountain lion) using the "layout > two pages per sheet" option with a custom paper size but when trying with Mountain Lion, the print-dialog preview doesn't match the output when saved as pdf; pages either get shrunk or cropped without my permission and it generally seems to be buggy. I've been playing around with it for over an hour and can't get two pages side-by-side to take up a full 24x12 custom virtual page when saved as PDF
I would expect the print preview to accurately display what will be printed (saved as PDF) and I am guessing that maybe the printer selected (HP all-in-one) is affecting the preview and save to pdf options?
Can someone tell me how to achieve a printed rendition of the "view > two pages" layout?

I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this

Dynamically use page number in form field on spawned pages?

I have a form with spawned pages. JS for spawning page(s) works fine. However, one text field on template is driving me nuts. I would like this field ("CaseNum") to dynamically display page number, since page number also corresponds to case number. On templage ("getcase"), I can calculate value for CaseNum using custom calc script (event.value = this.PageNum). But that doesn't work because every spawned page gets the same value (ie, whatever is last spawned page number). I also tried JS below, using P0.getcase.CaseNum as the field on the template in which I want the page number/case number to be displayed:
var oPage = this.pageNum;
this.getField("P" + oPage + ".getcase" + ".CaseNum").value = oPage;
But, this doesn't work either, because the field on the spawned page automatically gets the prefix of P + page number + .getcase appended to the field name. Is there any way to dynamically used page number in a form field on spawned pages? If so, how? Note that while I am trying to use a dynamic case number on spawned pages, it presents the same issue as dynamically displaying page numbers on spawned pages. I'm a JS newbie, so any help appreciated. I've searched high and low on web and in forums and couldn't find the answer. Thx.

Printing text to form using Pages

I have a paper form that is 2.75 x 6 inches and I need to print information on it. The text would always be the same. How can I set this up. I have tried but no matter how I set it up the text prints in the middle of an 8.5 x 11 sheet not starting at the top edge where it should. Something is kaka coo coo.
The end result would be that the printer prints the text in the correct boxes on the preprinted form.
I have used acrobat to scan in the form and use the form itself to find the perfect location for the text I will be printing on the form. Can't seem to figure this all out, landscape, portrait, custom size paper, rotate, margins, etc......

The form is not 8.5 x 11. It's 2.75 x 6 and won't feed through the printer that way. It jams. If it were to go through like an envelope does it would work (the width being 2.75 and the length being 6. The form is a landscape setup like an envelope. I can send the envelope though the center of the printer by moving the guides in on both sides. Should the document be in landscape or portrait mode or should the text be rotated?

Help reg. multipage form

Hi,
I am doing a project in multipage form. I have found similar web application and it has been implemented in JSP. I have gone through the code.Not able to get it. The guy who implemented it is using one controller.jsp. when the user clicks back button then the data already selected is also displayed. If I see the code of any page one html from will be there. If the url has been observed, always directed to controller.jsp. can anyone let me know how it was implemented. The following is the link.
http://donner.cs.uni-magdeburg.de:8080/elearning/modelschoice.jsp
kindly let me know the basic idea. Thanks alot.

Alright,people their are using View Controller pattern.
Here is how they could have done it.
They might have designed dedicated JSP for each and everyform their.
Including same .gif file in the header part.
However,they are calling a single JSP file/Servlet /Struts Dispatch Action/Or any backing bean(with url pattern controller.jsp).
All they are doing their is Trying to save details of all the form inputs as respective property in a bean which is used to render contents in repective JSP page and then finally the controller forwards the page to next jsp page at the server side therefore url in the browser would not change however,response regards to new page would changed with change in url and consequently the new response would again call the same controller again & again and updates the same View Object which is scoped under session and finally when application gets the complete data regards to form it updates it DB forwards or redirects to the confirmation page.
If you still don't understand what i'm trying to exaplain.
It would be a great idea for you to learn MVC pattern or what is MODEL 2 pattern.
hope the below link might be of some help :)

Printing multiple copies per page, not multiple pages per sheet

How can I print multiple copies of page per sheet of paper?
I've got an image or PDF that I'd like to print 4 or more of per sheet of paper. But it can easily fit on one sheet. When I choose to print 4 copies and in the Layout section choose 4 copies per page what I get is for pages printed out with the image scaled down to a quarter of a page.
What I'd like is the one image scaled down and printed 4 times on a single piece of paper.

I don't completely believe that this is completely
due to the drivers from the printer manufacturer.
Nor did I say that it is. The software from which the doc is being printed is
even more important re page layout options.
Your statement of "It is a function of the printer driver..." is what led to that misunderstanding.
I completely agree that the idea of 'print to PDF' is misleading and that I was mislead that all the print dialog options (like the quartz filters that do work in outputting to PDF and the # of copies that do not) should apply to creating PDF files using the print dialogue. It now says 'save to PDF' in 10.4 instead of 'output' or 'print'. I think some of my confusion is carrying over from UI decisions in 10.3.
Obviously it wasn't designed to work this exact way
or it would work this exact way.
I have no idea what this statement means.
It's stating the obvious in reply to your statement of the obvious ("the feature you are trying to use isn't designed to work that way."). If it were designed to work in the manner that I was wanting it perform I would have never posted a question about it.
You can say it's not commonly done and that would
apply to anything other than printing off one full
sized copy of any single page. Using Quartz filters
isn't "commonly done" but it's available.
Not true... mailing labels, multipage spreads, thumbnails, reductions/
enlargements, ad infinitum are far more frequently done than printing
the same content on the same sheet multiple times. As I said, however,
there are provisions for doing so when the need arises.
You missed the point. Functionality is presented that is far less utilized than what I was desiring to do on this platform/set of applications as compared to other platforms/sets of applications. This is why I specifically mentioned the quartz filtering. I have personally met only one other person who uses quartz filtering yet I know over a dozen that want to print in the manner I originally posted about.
I'm sure you have seen such results & I have done
the exact same type of output hundreds of times on
both Windows & Mac platforms as well as others...
but not in the manner you are attempting to get it
done. As you've found out, that just doesn't work.
And I've seen it performed in the manner I was attempting, furthering the frustration.
In any program you typically do specify page layout
before number of copies... in fact, that is the cruxt of the
issue. But getting the same content to repeat on a single
page is not a matter of page layout and is not a function
of the print operation unless you're dealing with commercial
devices.
I guess I've just been spoiled by those big office Xerox machines. I never thought of that functionality being at all special in any way.
Thank you for the assistance.

Apple Mail - Printing without margins and/or headers, multiple pages per sheet

I have orders coming in by email that I need to print out as packing sheets/order tickets. In the email I have the submissions set to come in as html tables, all of a uniform size. I want to print 4 per page, and can do that by selecting 4 emails, "Print", and then 4 pages per sheet in the print settings and it gives me 4 unique orders on one sheet. But the giant standard margins make it so the submission tables are way too small (they could easily be almost double the size and fit fine on the sheet) and I don't want the email header information displayed. This really doesn't seem like too much to ask, I hope it's not really as impossible as all the forums make it seem! In another forum, BDAqua mentioned possibly making a script for this?
The order submissions are generated from my form on Jotform. This is a great form builder, at least in my first-time experience, but seems lacking in output options - reports can only be generated as tables, and on the web-based submission viewer the print options are extremely limited as well. I have also experimented with Excel: Jotform will export submissions all together on one excel spreadsheet, but in my situation that would mean I would have to figure out how to print each row separately. I spent some time on the excel forums and from what people said it sounds like a huge headache and very tedious. I created this form in order to save a lot of time in taking down orders, so it would be really nice to be able to print them directly in quarter-sheet format. Even in full-sheet format, I still wouldn't want the email headers or all the white space.
Any ideas? I'm running 10.9 on a 2009 MacBook Pro 13", and have a basic Brother HL-2070N laser printer and an Epson Workforce 610 (DC8508) - either would serve the purpose, but I doubt this issue has anything to do with which printer I'm using. Thanks for any ideas/feedback!

What you are wanting to accomplish, can be done, but it is not necessarily a simple task and is going to require at least a modicum of programming skill. Filemaker comes first to my mind as offering reasonably powerful data extraction and analysis capabiity as well as the ability to store the transactions in a database and analyze the data in an almost infinite variety of ways. However, this will require the services of a Filemaker analyst and programmer to create and maintain the system. Don't forget the system will need almost continuous maintenance and enhancement.
If you can change the way you receive the orders, there is a large number of shopping cart systems offered by virtually every internet hosting firm that can be adapted to a wide variety of marketing activities and they maintain staffs of programmers to handle the adaptation and maintenance -- at a price.

Multipage forms- best workflow for future editing

I'm struggling with understanding the proper workflow for creating and editing multipage forms. I need to create a medical history form (PDF) where patients can enter their medical history and patient info.
This form is usually 6+ pages. Each page has a header (logo and office address) and a footer (page number).
The problem I'm running into is when we need to make a change like add a question or change the wording of a question. Is there a way we can edit the form (either in Word or an Adobe product) and not have to recreate the form in Acrobat Pro?
I've hired contract workers from Odesk and each one I've hiried claims they can edit the questions after the form is created. But each time this happens, the form looks worse after each edit. I'm pretty sure this is the problem because they are editing the text in Acrobat Pro, which has very limited text editing capabilites.
I'm wasting so much time going back and forth with contractors explaining to them that the text format looks like crap.
I'm very capable of designing and editing these forms myself, but I just don't have the time. So I'm contracting this work out.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice on the best workflow for PDF forms.
Thanks!

Yes, there is a way. You need to edit the original file format (Word, in
this case), and then create a new PDF.
You then open the old version (that has the form fields in it), and use the
Replace Pages command to replace the old pages with the ones from the new
file. This will maintain the form fields in place, although you might need
to rename them and align them with the new page contents.
This is a much better approach than trying to edit the PDF directly
(although this option has been greatly improved in Acrobat XI).

Can a BIG form be served up one page at a time to avoid long load time?

Tricks I have read for optimizing the load time of large forms are not helping. Linearization causes the first page to render quickly, but you can't interact with the fields until the whole form finishes loading -- no help there. Is there a way to break the form into pages (without creating entirely separate forms) so the user can fill out a page, hit a Next Page button, fill out that page, etc.? Understood that this is an old school idea, but until Reader can download a 1+ MB form in less time than it takes an average user to get ticked off, old school might do the trick.
Alternatively, is there a way to construct a form so you can start interacting with it without having to wait for it all to load? This question comes from the (uninformed) assumption that maybe there are forward references that can't be satisfied until all the bits have come over the wire. If that's right, can a multipage form be architected so as to avoid this problem?

No that technology does not exist yet. There are form level events that need to have the entire document there before they can fire. Also you would have to keep track of where you are so that would mean some sort of session information for each user.
