PDF Form Power in Pages

What are the chances of Pages coming out with the new ability to place form fields in a document so that we can create fillable PDF forms for clients?
Steve

The problem is... is that Adobe Acrobat doesn't manage the pages within a document as well as "Pages" does.
Hmm... oh well... thanks for your response.
Does anyone have a solution or work around to create form fields for a document created in Pages?

Opening PDF Form in Body Page

Hi,
It will be really great if some one can answer two of my question.
1. Is it possible to open a deployed form into a subsection of our web browser where company logo, left navigation panel , right navigation panel remain on there postion and fillable form open only into a part of body.
2) Is it possible to prepopulate some fields of our PDF form on the basis of login credentail entered into portal application which get authenticated against LDAP.
Regards
Abhishek

I also noticed we're prompted to allow a security warning when opening it locally. It says the document is trying to connect to itself. Is this normal?

Interactive PDF Form in Landscaped Page; Problems with Additional Pages

Please see the attached screenshot.
I created a form (in Word) which has 10 pages of the exact same fields except for the side number (the 10 pages number from 1 to 200) which numbers each line to be filled out by the end user.
I have created each field for page 1 (no easy feat as Acrobat 11 did not recognize most of the necessary fields) and all of the checkboxes must be grouped so that only one checkbox is able to be picked. When I try to distribute each of the fields to the other 9 pages, or even if I copy and paste the fields to page 2, then the fields turn portrait rather than landscaped and I am unable to rotate them.
I have tried extracting page 1, rename it to page 2, update the numbering scheme (which throws everything out of alignment), and then reinsert it behind page 1, and again, it rotates the landscaped fields to portrait.
Is there any way possible for me to EASILY recreate this page nine more times (I have already spent approximately 10 hours working on this one page getting everything created and lined up correctly)?
In doing some research yesterday, I saw that this was a software limitation issue and that Acrobat does not allow fields in landscaped pages to be recreated as landscaped fields (I do not have this problem with the same type of form created in portrait pages and can distribute fields all day long through pages and pages of PDFs.
Does anyone have any suggestions or guidance that I can draw upon other than having to create each page separately (I just do not have the time as the one page took me about 10 hours)?
Thank you so much!

That's very disappointing ...
Thanks Bernd, for your answer!

Send PDF Form from web page

Hi all. I have a web site with a PDF fillable form. Currently, customers must print and snail mail it to us. Most of them use web based mail, so the old mailto: function (which relies on email client like Outlook) is way out of date.
I cannot find a solution in the forums. Can anyone tell me if I can wrap the form in php and use a php mailer to forward it to my sites mailbox? This would be similar to the standard Contact Us form submission.
It seems Adobe would give some guidance here as this has been asked several times in the forums. Could really use some pointers. Assistance much appreciated.
Bob

> It seems Adobe would give some guidance here as this has been asked several times in the forums.
They have.
You have the Doc.submitForm method (listed in the JS API Reference) that will allow you to submit form data to a webservice. There are 6 code examples of how to use this method included in the API Reference as well.
For XFA forms created in LiveCycle Designer, there is an "HTTP Submit" button as one of the default form objects provided to the user.
You also have the entire "SOAP" object available to you in Acrobat JavaScript (again, covered in the API Reference) if you need to make very advanced webservice calls.

Converting Word Doc to PDF Form

I am trying to convert a word document into a PDF Form.
I have tried running the 'Form Wizard' in Acrobat 9.x Pro. I have the current version, just can't remember the rev. number.
Supposidly the Form Wizard will recognize areas of the word doc as fields and insert fields automagically. I have tried the wizard several times from within Word 2007 and Acrobat Pro. no luck. Nothing is recognized.
Any ideas? I don't want to have to manually re=create the form unless I have to.
I am attaching the PDF doc and hoping someone can help with this.

I know it's user to user, but I'm an optimist, and figured I'd toss in a UX suggestion while I was at it. Apologies if that aside was misplaced.
I'm pretty sure none of the "fields" I made were actual form fields according to Word, they were just things like text boxes, or, more frequently, tables (the doc I was working from had values filled in where form spaces should go, so I frequently used text -> table to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, then deleted the filled-in values).
One of the reasons I wanted to do it this way is that it can sometimes be a pain to line up the form fields in Acrobat such that the text when filled in lines up with the already-present text (or am I missing a trick?)
Also, as an update, I tried PDF-form-ifying just page 1, and got the same error, then tried PDF-form-ifying everything but page 1, and again, same error.

Can't send a PAGES document Via email in PDF form ... used to be done by clicking share and PDF HELOP

creating a document on pages and trying to share it via email in PDF form used to be really easy...
How does this work now? help

I always just do file->print. Then in the lower left is a menu that said "PDF" and just pick "Mail PDF" from the dropdown and a new email is composed with the PDF attached. One step to print, one click to choose mail and you're done. I just tried this on the latest Yosemite and Pages updates and it works fine.

How can I erase a full page of comments on a PDF Form I made all at once. (the comments)

I work for a Hvac Company and we make these Material lists in PDF form. I put these lists in a dropbox and they export it to there tablets. When they edit the list and email it back to me its saved on there tablet and they have to delete the one on there tablet and export a new one. They have to do this many times and it gets to tedious and time consuming. Is there a way for them to delete the whole page before it gets automaticly saved or to stop it from auto saving when they close it out. Or to keep an original copy on there tablet that wont be saved over?

If someone wants to send a PDF file via email it has to be saved first.
To delete comments in the desktop version of Adobe Reader, just select them all in the Comments panel and press Delete. That feature isn't available in the mobile apps.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
An automated second page.

There are two approaches.
If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this. It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA.

How do I create a PDF Form in Pages

I am trying to work out how I can create a questionnaire in Pages with drop down boxes that converts to a PDF form for my clients to complete.
At present I am using Serif on my Windows Laptop but would like to use the Mac to do this.
The aim is that my clients are able to complete a questionnaire and return via email without loosing design.

While this capability is supported in the PDF page description model, the capability is not supported in Apple Pages ´08 (or I missed something ... -:)).

Print Footer Window of PO Form at end of Last Page of PDF Forms(Adobe)

Hi,
I am trying to print PO form using PDF form which includes multiple line items. At the end of last page I am trying to print the footer window that contains Comments and Signature.
Right now my Footer Window is being printed immediately after the end of line items.
I have included the Comments text box and image inside a Sub Form.
Please let me know how to print the Footer window at the end of the page instead of printing immediately after the line items.
Thanks,
Rekha

Hi,
Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

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.

Multiple Pages 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!
Omar

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.
