PDF Form Fill via web page and render

I have a PDF created by Adobe Acrobat (Pro?) that allows form entry. What I'd like to do is allow a user to enter data into a WEB FORM (jsp), and then populate the data into a PDF for redisplay to the user. The redisplayed PDF should not be editable. At that point, I want them to submit it.
My questions so far are...
1. I've downloaded XPAAJ and gotten it to fill the PDF with entries, and can re-render it. However, since it's a form, the user can "edit" and print, but not save. On display, I'd want this to be a locked form. I didn't see anywhere in the XPAAJ that you did this.
2. Is XPAAJ a licensed product or do I have it to use freely for the above requirement? If not, what must I purchase? I'll check on what Adobe product/licenses we have currently.
Thanks -- appreciating any feedback.

NW Business Client and accessing SAP services via web pages

Hi all,
We currently use Business Connector to access our SAP environment via web pages. We looked at NW eSOA but decided against implementing it. Does Business Client offer anything that helps access SAP apps and data from a custom web site better the Business Connector?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom
I am assuming you are using SAP Business Connector in your landscape to connect to back end SAP systems from your web applications. Your question now is that if business client can let you access SAP data for your web pages instead of the business connector. Point to not here is that Business client, as the name implies, is just a client with single point of access for SAP screens. That means, you can access traditional SAP transactions, WebDynpro screens, BSP pages, Portal screens etc in one single client. In very raw terms, Business client acts (or replaces) as your browser. It is not going to provide you any out of the box integration with backend system rather just act as a window. You options at this point are
1) Use your existing webpages but instead of getting data from the backend system through business connector, get the data using webservices.
2) Use PI as middleware tool and get the data from backend SAP system
3) Stay were you are but deal with high cost of ownership.
Thanks

Printing forms imbedded in web page

Hi All,
This is my first post, and I need some help.
HP Officejet 8615
Several doctors and dentists have embedded forms on their web page for new patients to complete. I can't get these forms to print.
I have tried printing the form from the web page = unsuccessful.
I have tried saving the form to my desktop and printing it = unsuccessful
I have run the HP diagnostics and successfully printed a test page.
My computer:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium G3220 Processor
6 GB RAM
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, updated
All MS Security updates installed. Kaspersky Anti- Virus installed. Updated, returns clean scans.
Malwarebytes Pro up dated and returns clean scans.
I have no problems with my computer or printer, except I can’t get these embedded forms to print.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Ideas and thoughts on the subject...
You mentioned the word "Acrobat" -- this makes me think you are dealing with a PDF form??
PDF format can be tricky. Forms that look OK may or may not actually be something the printer can translate into printer language and spit out as actual print on a page.
You could try printing the PDF file as in Image -- this is a tried and true method of printing out PDF files that may be stubborn and won't otherwise print. See below...
Things that are PDF:
PDF file will not print
Quick fix | Print PDF as image | Acrobat, Reader
PDF file will not print (2)
Check your PDF viewer in your browser > Options
Example
Firefox > Tools > Options > Applications >
Portable Document Format (PDF) >> select Use Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader Download
===================================================
If you get desperate, and you can SEE the form you need on the screen, you can use Snip to grab a screen shot of the form, save the file as an Image, and print that.

===================================================
If you can get the saved form, whatever the format, into a Word file and then perhaps save that Word file into a new PDF file -- and maybe use Word's embedded font feature -- then you might be able get the file to print.

How to retrieve the multiple rows data on PDF form in a web service method using WSDL DataConnection

How to retrieve the multiple rows data on PDF form in a web service method using WSDL DataConnection.
I have a multiple rows on PDF form. All rows have 4 textfields. I want to submit the multiple rows data to a method defiened in webservice.
Unable to retrieve the data in multiple rows within webservice method.

Hi Paul,
I'm now able to save the retrieved xml in a hidden text field and create dynamic table, and I'm able to fill this table from the XML, but the problem is that I could not find the correct way to loop on the xml, what I'm trying to say, the table will have number of rows with the data of the first row only, so can you tell me the right way to loop on the xml!
this is my code
TextField1.rawValue=xmlData.document.rawValue;
xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(TextField1.rawValue, true, false);
for(var i=0; i<count; i++)
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Num").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.num.value;
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Name").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.name.value;
Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
Thanks

Dynamic web pages and Access

I am starting to work on some dynamic web pages to upload
information to an Access 2003 database using ASP. What I would like
to do is to give the user a chance to review their information
before it actually gets sent to the database. That is to say, after
they fill out the form on the dynamic web page, and click a submit
button, I would like to bring up a new page with their info
summarized and give them the chance to review it and/or go back and
make changes before it actually gets written to the database. Any
suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm not sure what the question is. It sounds like you already
know what you want.
Have the form post to an asp page that retrieves the form
values and displays them in the format you want. Give them the
choice to go back and make changes or submit. The second page can
also be a form that you dynamically populate from the first page
values.
I'm not really sure what the benefit of this is. Why do the
users need a different page to review what they input from the
original page? What added value will there be?

Can I have Email Recipients of a PDF Form Complete via Smart Phone Email?

Hello Adobe PDF Forum,
Is it possible to have email recipients of my PDF form complete via their smart phone email platform? If so, could you step me through the 'how to' process in making this possible for my recipients?
Thank you! Have a great afternoon.
Eric

Hi Eric,
Your recipients can use the free Adobe Reader mobile app for iOS or Android to fill out PDF forms via their smart phones. They can download the Reader mobile app from Features | Adobe Reader mobile app. Then, when they receive an email from you with your form attached, they can open it directly from the email client into the Reader mobile app and fill it out. Easy!
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Hi,
You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.

How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

Are ZCI interactive forms available via Web Dynpro for ABAP?

Note 955795 talks about ZCI forms available via Web Dynpro for Java. Is this kind of forms also available via Web Dynpro for ABAP?.
Do ZCI interactive forms work via Web Dynpro for ABAP without the need of ACF?
If available, which support package levels are required?
Regards

Hi Mahamed,
I got your problem. You have not done anything wrong.
It is WebAS version which is not supported for this functionality.
But there is solution to this problem
Please refer to the SAP Note number - 1055738.
I think you will get the answer and the scenario described there will match your requirement.
This is a know issues with WebDypro ABAP but this works fine for Java Web Dynpro.
I have also tried for 2 months but finally came to know about it.

PDF Form Filler

Has anyone used the App - PDF Form Filler and Sign? If so, pros & Cons

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply,
actually the site uses flash to present the form for filling. i tried building such a form using flash but its too complicated, im sure there is a much easier way.
say i create a editable form using Acrobat Pro, how would i go about embedding it into the webpage ? and allowing for it to be printed but not saved (the flash solution wrapps the form in a flash file therefor not allowing for a user to save it as a PDF file.
is there a way to do this ?
(im not quite sure why the link i sent is password protected, can't you access it ? http://www.pdffiller.com/index.php - take alook at their service)
here is another example of how i would like it to look

How to download a form from the web, complete and save it?

Download Adobe Reader. If the form author allows filling out digitally, you can do so and save it again.

after updating my iMac to Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I cannot print pdf forms off the Web

It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
1. The OS you are working on.
2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

I just got a call about this exact issue today!
The person is at a Marriott hotel which uses some type of company called STSN for their internet connection via both Ethernet and Wifi.
http://www.stsn.com/home.html
I'm waiting for them to call me back after trying every trouble shooting step I could think of. My only guess now is that it's Safari's pop up blocker blocking some kind of navigation or log-in window. I'm going to tell them to turn off pop-up blocker menu choice next.
After that it's turning off Java and Javascript to see if the have any affect.
Btw, they're experiencing this propblem on a TiBook G4. Also tried a new user account and two other pre-existing accounts but all had the same issue. Both with Ethernet and WiFi the problem remained.
