PDF file in infopath form

Hello,
Though the article is old, I hope someone can help me. I need to do two things (on of which is partly explained here).
1.) Be able to open a fillable pdf located in a SharePoint document Library (located at the parent site level) in an InfoPath form (that itself is a browser, SharePoint document template located on a subsite). 2.) Basically, I need the form user
to be able to access the pdf while in the form, fill it in and save the filled in pdf to a SharePoint Library (where they want).
Thanks!
Jane

Not sure if you can do it from Infopath form, however you can write custom code in submit event and using code you can fill up the pdf form (it is as good as you are generating a pdf from data filled in on your infopath form)...check reference code here

Error message when trying to upload a pdf file to a form

A user was trying to upload a pdf file to a form I created (Contractor Vanpool Application Form). The parameters I set, was that it had to be a pdf form, less than 20MB and a single file. She met these parameters, but when she hit the submit button, she received this dialogue box message: Warning: JavaScript Window - File Attachments are not supported in FormsCentral PDF forms. Please contact the form author to send the file attachments another way. This dialogue box prevented her from even getting as far as selecting the file and uploading. Another user was succesfully able to upload a form, so I know this is working. So I changed the parameters to allow multiple files in any format, and she still had a problem.
She states is using windows 95, Internet Explorer. Help, Michelle

In Form Central, when I add a field, I select the Add File Attachment icon (see screen shot below - it is the 10th icon from the left, the paperclip over a sheet):
Then it allows me to fill in the field, describing the file to upload, and the properties to the right defining the file size limit, type of file and other properties. This is all done through formscentral, thus allowing a user in my form to upload a file that is attached to the form when submitted.

How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?

How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

Hi
What's your portal version ?
What response headers do you receive from the webcache port ? (using something like IEhttpheaders but for mozilla, maybe Firebug will help you to get them).

How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

How to call pdf files from oracle forms

I have a pdf file in the server , I need to call this and open when a button is pressed in the oracle forms.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks,
Previn

Frank,
I have oracle applications and I want to open a pdf file located in the server from a button in oracle applications.
Previn,
you don't mention the Forms release you are running.
If you are running Forms on the web, you can use
web.show_document() to load files from the Web if
they are accessible via HTTP.

Use pdf.ocx or AcroPDF.dll to open a pdf file in a form

Hi to all,
I have this kind of problem.
I need to open a pdf in a form, just for reading.
Even if my project is written in VB6, this is not the problem. It could be also in .NET, so I hope you don't reply anything about the development platform.
In a couple of threads, I found two ways to open a pdf in a form: using pdf.ocx or acropdf.dll.
In both cases, this solution works for me in debug, but not in deployed release.
I have two kind of problems:
- if the computer where I execute the program HAS NOT Adobe Reader installed, I have an error "missing dependencies" concerning acropdf.dll or pdf.ocx
- if the computer where I execute the program has Adobe Reader installed, I have an error concerning dll or ocx file version.
The solution works only if the AcroPDF.dll file included in my project has a version equal to the Adobe Reader version installed on the customer's computer.
How can I solve these problems?
The best would be if I could use one of this components without installing Adobe Reader.
If this is not possible, my further question is: if the Adobe Reader version installed on the customer's computer is greater than my AcroPDF.dll, will my project work?
If you need further informations to understand the problem, you can ask me.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Bye
Nino

PDF.OCX was an UNSUPPORTED COMPONENT that stopped being included as of Adobe Reader 7. Also, VB6 support stopped with Reader 7 as well. As Adobe only supports Reader 8 and later, there is no need to worry about either.
AcroPDF.dll is part of Reader - it isn't available separately. So yes, your users will need to have Adobe Reader 8 or later installed on their computer.
As long as you target Reader 8 or above, and AcroPDF.dll - you'll work with Reader 8, 9 and X...

How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

Failed export to Excel PDF files contain XFA forms cannot save in specified format

Has this excercise been a waste in time and money. Like my car I will put petrol oil water and air where they need to go but don't care how they make the car work as long as it goes

Converting forms to fill them in is never a good idea; if they are official forms it can be a catastrophe. Keep the forms as PDF, don't convert.
XFA forms are ALREADY FILLABLE. If you can't fill it there is a fault.

"IS THERE A WAY AROUND THE XFA PROBLEM? pdf" failed to export to docx. PDF files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

I really need to fill out this application which is a pdf with xfa forms. Is there away to convert this to a doc?
