PDF FORM - GPS INPUT

I am making a pdf form using acrobat XI on a mac (OS 10.6) and want to have a button to press that will input GPS co-ords into form fields, derived from the device (tablet, android, idevice)
Someone else asked the same question in a forum, got the following javascript, and a number of people commented that it worked fine on all devices, and yet i get SyntaxError 4: line 5.
Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Code is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getLocationConstant()
   if(navigator.geolocation)
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onGeoSuccess,onGeoError); 
   } else {
  alert("Your browser or device doesn't support Geolocation");
// If we have a successful location update
function onGeoSuccess(event)
  document.getElementById("Latitude").value =  event.coords.latitude;
  document.getElementById("Longitude").value = event.coords.longitude;
// If something has gone wrong with the geolocation request
function onGeoError(event)
  alert("Error code " + event.code + ". " + event.message);
</script>
<br><br>
<cfform action="gps2.cfm" method="post">
Latitude: <input type="text" id="Latitude" name="Latitude" value="">
<br><br>
Longitude: <input type="text" id="Longitude" name="Longitude" value="">
<br><br>
<input type="button" value="Get Location" onclick="getLocationConstant()"/>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Add GPS Location" class=small>
</cfform>
I'm guessing it's some kind of XML issue but i have no program language experience at all !!!
Thanks in advance

That code is not for use in a PDF form, but rather an HTML form in a browser. I don't know of any PDF viewers on any device that supports this type of thing.

  • How do I input data to a pdf form in Acrobat 8.1.6?

    There's probably a simple solution for this but I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to input data to a pdf form using Acrobat 8.1.6, or how I can make the pdf file data field input ready? Thanks. 

    If you created the form Go back to Acroabt and go to advanced menu and choose:
    Extend Features in Reader. then save.
    Now open Reader and you can add information and save. (limit 500 instances per pdf).
    Now if you created the form and have Acrobat make sure Acrobat in not in Forms Edit Mode.
    Just type in your information and save.
    Caution make sure that you finished all corrections and edits. because once you confer reader right you can not edit the form. you can edit the form items you fill in, but not the form itself.
    to correct the form design you have to go back to advanced reader rights and save a copy without rights. make changes then confer rights again.

  • How to keep the input field from PDF Form to RTF

    Hi,
    I'm looking to keep the input fields from my pdf form document to Rtf so I can use them in my Rtf document.
    Regards,
    Alan

    Good day Alan,
    I'm afraid that's not possible as form fields in a PDF file have no equivalent either in a Word format (.docx/.doc) or within the Rich Text Format (.rtf).  That data is simply stripped during the conversion as there's no equivalent available.
    Kind regards,

  • Dynamically  Visibilty of Input Field in Interactive PDF Form

    Hi All,
    I want to bind the visibilty of Input Field dynamically in an Interactive PDF Form. How can I do ?
    Please give me some solution
    Regards
    Manish

    Manish,
    Well select the inputfield & check the Scripting Window in your Designer.
    On its top, you will see an option something as Show: Events with Scripts.
    Select the initialize event and insert the code she mentioned. Then click on + sign. This will enter your changes.
    There will be language option on top as well. Select JavaScript from it.
    So in the end your code should read something like this.
    ----- data.<YourFormName>.txtInput::initialize: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------
    txtInput.presence = "invisible";

  • Inputting Chinese text into PDF form fields

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to input Chinese text into an interactive PDF and although the properties for the form fields are set to Hiragino Sans GB, when inputting the text is appearing in English. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Staff have been migrated from Windows XP and now have Windows 7 on their PCs. They all now have new versions of Adobe Reader
    (version 11.0.06). In some cases they now cannot insert or update variable data in fields in PDF forms. They are not using online PDFs  -

  • Pdf forms online to input data as opposed to traditional web forms

    hello,
    my level is beginner but i am given a project . well task
    to create a online application system to reduce paper work.
    i have seen some online application ( using pdf) on the web
    and it seems better (looks better than a web form i ussually fill
    out on the web.
    i would like to start on a project that does this PDF forms
    for online.
    how do i start this.
    i have seen one that you can start inputing on the web but
    does not input (store in DB)
    i wish to do this where i can store in a db
    how do i get started on my online application using PDF.

    To do this you will need the Full Acrobat editor. With the
    editor you
    can take a PDF and add form elements to it and direct it's
    action to an
    action page on your site. You then publish the PDF and you
    are in
    business. This is well documented in the Acrobat help.

  • Questions about using a PDF form online

    I have a client who wants to create an online version of a PDF form that they are currently using. I am currently trying to explain to them that this would be best done as an HTML web form, but I may not win this argument. I have only used PDFs for printed forms (either hand-written or using form fields) so I am not familiar with any problems that converting the form for use online would entail.
    When the 'Submit' button is pressed on the form, is there a way to redirect to another web page after the data is submitted? (i.e. does the PDF have access to it's outer 'environment'?)
    Are there any security issues submitting data using the PDF form as opposed to using a standard web form? (There may be sensitive data being submitted)
    I'm not sure how they plan to handle the data that is submitted, but there are several options in the submitForm parameters - I am assuming that using the HTML option would submit the data in the same format as a web form would. Am I correct here?
    Can the PDF be prevented from being downloaded or printed? This form should only be used to submit data to their server, not as a printed form.
    Are there any other 'gotchas' that I need to look out for? Does anyone have a recommendation for a site which contains any tutorials or guidelines for using PDF forms online?

    Thanks for the information.
    Yes, I agree that there is less reason for it to be a PDF form (Actually, no real reason other than the original form already exists in PDF), but I am unfortunately in the position that my input in this project is not necessarily being considered (my company is following direct -and inconsistent- directions from the client, and I have no contact with the client to ask questions about what their actual needs are). I have been told to give the client the 'Tomato' that they are asking for, even though they are describing an 'Apple'.
    The reason this form is not meant to be printed is that we have replaced the 'Signature' fields from the original form with checkboxes that the user must check to confirm they have 'signed' the document. If they are to print/fax/whatever the document, they should use the original form, not this one. And I am still trying to explain to them that this would be better served with an HTML web form, but I fear I am losing that battle.
    I have brought up the fact that it is not 100% guaranteed that Acrobat will be available in the browser, although I can only guess that it is less than likely that anyone will not have some sort of PDF viewer available to their browser.
    I will also mention that issues may arise if the file is not submitted from within the browser.

  • PDF forms populating Access DB and vice/versa

    I have a PDF from that I published to Acrobat.com There are fields to be filled out. Problems:
    1. How can I set the fields to populate into an existing MS Access DB once submitted results back to me?
    2. How can the form populate upon a certain chouice criteria?
    Scenerio: Form is a log file for patients seen, including name, date, room#, diagnosis codes, testing, medications, f/u. The same fields exist in MS Access but distributed among 3 tables (linked). In the PDF form I have created a New Data Connection (OLEDB), Connection string (Provider for ODBC drivers), In the Data View I see my fields from access - so for each input Binding it points to the field (i.e.: for patient name - $record.Patient.Last_Name).
    But here is the rub:
    1. When the first patient filed is filled, all subsequent patient names are filled with same name (and they keep just replaceing the other inputs).
    2. I cannot seem to create a date calender, or have the current date default (taken from the computer time stamp).
    3. I can not seem to calculate the follow/up (it's 4 weeks) from the input of the date.
    4. When selecting a facility, how do I populate the fields with current patient names and previous Diagnosis (if at all possible).
    5. When I created the data connection, the fill in spaces become obscured and my drop down box for facility choice stops working.
    I know this is big, but any advice and help is greatly appreciated in advance. I have also attached the PDF form for analysis. Please not that there are two, one is the original prior to Life Cycle modification and the other is with the DB linking attempt.
    Thanks
    Shai

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the reply and help. I am uploading the MS Access DB (2007). Another caveat, when I chose to use the creat new connection and then chose the build - Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Databse Engine OLE DB Provider, I am not able to link into the database at all. I double checked the location and everything. I do not have any user name or password set-up and chose to leave it blank but get his error:
    Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not find file 'C:\User\........'
    Since I am new at this, please feel free to change any structure of the form as needed - as long as the end result will work
    The set-up sounds quite easy and straight forward, but guess its a bit more complicated than I thought. I even have the book: Adobe Acrobat 9.0 in a class room - but no help there either. I am familiar with some Javascripting, so your explanations hopefully will not be over me head.
    Thanks again for your dedication and help
    regards
    Shai
    Message was edited by: Shailevit - I am not able to upload the Access database - file not allowed. it's in the .accdb format. Is there a different format that is accepted to be uploaded ? (PS: Zip doesn't seem to work either) - Thanks

  • How to use ADS on SolMan instance and SAP standard PDF forms from ERP

    Hi there
    We have installed and configurated the ADS service on our Solution Manager (SolMan) Instance called SD1.
    SolMan Info: SAP Solution Manager 7.0; Stack 17; Java-Stack installed; SAP Netweaver 7.0
    All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
    FP_TEST_00
    FP_PDF_TEST_00
    We have linked our ERP landscape (e.g. system ED1) to ADS service running on SolMan.
    ERP Info: ECC 6.0; Stack 13; no Java-Stack installed
    All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
    FP_TEST_00
    FP_PDF_TEST_00
    We want to print PDF documents from SAP standard applications on our ERP landscape. Therefore we want to use standard PDF forms provided by SAP and also available in transaction SFP (e.g. form ISSR_NW670_RX_PDF).
    Problem: When we try to create a PDF document from the application we get an error message:
    Processing exception during a "Render" operation.#Request start time: Mon Feb 02 13:42:08 CET 2009#com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing data from Destination: dest:FP_ICF_DATA_ED1//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/ISSR_NW605_PDF.XDP?fp-language=DE&fp-cac
    I have also checked the trace (see below) and it seems that the system tries to get the form from the SolMan system and not from the ERP system. But the form is only installed on ERP system.
    Are there any ideas how to solve this problem?
    Thanks.

  • Application error while generating PDF form

    Hello there,
    I am getting the message "Application error while generating PDF form" and when you hover it has additional information Message Class HREIC_APPL - Message number 258.
    I get this upon doing the following steps:
    1. Enter SAP R3, enter HREIC on the transaction code input.
    2. Enter EIC, Activity Search. Searched for an Activity, selected it and click the "PRINT" button.
    3. After clicking the PRINT button, I get the error message "Application error while generating PDF form".
    Installed this on development box, did the same configuration in test system, but still I get this error. ADS Configuration is working fine and configured fine.
    Is there anything else that is needed to be checked? like Ports, Firewalls, etc?
    Thanks a lot.

    Be sure that the RFC name is "ADS" and not anything else.
    Thanks.

  • How do I lock a PDF form field after it has been completed by a user?

    We have a problem with privacy on our downloadable Pdf Forms for customers, they are required to complete personal details within the Pdf Form Fields and then must be processed by our account team.
    But we would require customer completed forms to be disabled from any third party or employee tampering with the entered details.
    Once the data has been input into the form provided online and saved and sent-on it needs to be read ONLY from then on!
    Help please, Chris.

    It depends how secure they need to be. You could include a script in the form which sets the fields to be read-only when the form is submitted, but that can easily be bypassed (and may not be respected by third party PDF applications). Search this forum topic for examples, it's been asked many times before.
    If you have Acrobat you can flatten a form, turning the fields into regular page content, but that's not possible in Adobe Reader X. While the flattened page can no longer be edited in Reader, it can still be edited in Acrobat via the touchup tools, so for complete security you would need to apply encryption to the flattened PDF (via a certifying signature or DRM).

  • How to make multi-box fields for name or address in a PDF form to be filled in?

    I would like to know how to make fields for name and address in a PDF form.
    I am now using Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Vista. I have downloaded a form in the format of a PDF file. Basically it is just a file holding images of pages of the document, and there are no fields for me to type something on it using computer. This form will be used frequently by me, but I don't want to print it out and fill it in every time by hand. I want to fill it in in the computer and print copies of it when needed. The output will then be much more neat and tidy.
    I have seen PDF forms with blanks for typing name and address, which means the form can be filled in on the computer before printing. They are special, as these blanks allow users to type name and address with every character occupying a box in the field, which consists of ten boxes or so. These are not ordinary textfields. I want to make similar inputting field as well.
    Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each character using 1 little box in the multi-box field? Any ideas are appreciated.

    Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each
    character using 1 little box in the multi-box field?
    Use text fields with the comb of x characters feature.

  • Using PHP to process submitted PDF Form and Upload FDF to Server

    Hi All,
    I have a PDF form online (created in Acrobat 9.0 Pro, NOT LiveCycle Designer!) that, once a user has filled it out and clicks the submit button, I want two things to happen:
    1) I want the data from the form to be submitted to a custom PHP script, which I can do several different things with (store the data in a MySQL database, for example).
    2) I would also like to upload/store/save (not sure of the proper vernacular) the filled out form (FDF file) to the web server.
    Now what I need from you lovely people, either directly, or point me to where I can find the following:
    1) How/What options do I choose for the Submit button in Acrobat 9.0 Pro when I create the PDF?
    2) What/Where can I find a PHP code snippet to get the data from fields in the submitted form?
    3) I know you can set up an Acrobat form to e-mail a copy of the FDF file to a specified e-mail address. Instead of emailing that FDF file, I want to store it directly to a folder on my web server. However, just setting the URL in the submit button to a folder on my web server doesn't seem to do the trick. So, I guess what I need is to somehow reference the FDF file with my custom PHP script... something like $_POST["fdffile"] ???? Please if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! Because, if I can reference the FDF file, I can then use PHP's built in FTP functions to upload it to a specific folder on my web server.
    Thanks for any input!!!

    HI All,
    can someone please quide me how I can make this code to work for me?
    Where and what folder I have to put this PHP script?
    What my http will be?( I will use localhost)
    What the name of my PDF file(create by LiveCycle Designer)
    What the name of the file I will receive and where(folder) will be send it via the server?
    I see these name below in the PHP script but I can not make out what....
    configuration.php
    administrator/xml
    administrator/pdf
    THANK you

  • Multi-Layer Document Script Triggers in PDF Form

    I have a PDF form that has a total of 5 pages with text fields and navigation buttons. I would like the form to hide/unhide pages based on user input. For instance, the user will start on page 1. Once the user completes all the fields on page 1 the user will click on a button I laid out at the button of the page called "Next" and at this point a validation script should be triggered when the users clicks on the button to make sure all fields are completed before showing the information to be completed in Page 2. Basically I'd like my form to guide the user to the next page as long as the previous required fields are completed before the next page is shown (unhidden). If the fields from the previous page are not completed then the next page(s) will remain hidden.
    How can I go about designing my form to do just that? Any and all your advise, input and help is greatly apreciated!

    You can use templates for this:

    Sounds like you need to use some javascript triggers. I think there is supposed to be a Scripting Forum in the Adobe forums.
    at top of this page below your Avatar  look for :
    Adobe Forums > Acrobat > Acrobat Macintosh >   Discussions
    Click on Adobe Forums That will take you back to forums home page from that point you just have to look to find it.
