PDF form with line printer

Hi,
Is there a way to use PDF form with line printer? how, and the pros & cons. Currently we are using SPF to develop pdf form in sap, however it has limitation to print on line printer that we need to print on 3 ply form. The only option is to convert all PDF form to sap script.
If you have any ideas, please advise. Thanks.

Hi courtneyp58664902,
I would recommend you to follow the steps detailed on the page associated with this link (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-con vert-forms-into-fillable-pdf-c… ).
I would recommend you to Save the pdf with reader rights enabled [ File -> 'Save as other' -> 'Reader extender PDF' ->  'Enable More tools ( includes form fill-in and save)' ].
Please let me know if you face any challenges or need any further assistance.
Regards,
Rahul

  • Filling out a pdf form with preview

    I need to fill out some government forms which are of course in a pdf format and they want them typed.  Before i go looking for a typewriter at the antique store, isn't there a way to do it and print it retaining the forms format?  Preview will allow me to do about 3 lines and then stops allowing input.  I've tried the google crap and from there the apache odt crap.  Tried it on a PC too with growing frustration and zero accomplished.

    Preview will allow me to do about 3 lines and then stops allowing input.
    That is quite strange. I fill out pdf forms with Preview, and it allows me to put as much text in as I want. I wonder if the problem is something inherent in the particular form you are trying to annotate. You might try Skim ( Download Skim for Mac - PDF Reader and note-taker for scientific papers. MacUpdate.com ) which is an app I used to use to annotate pdfs until I discovered that that functionality was already present in Preview. I don't know if you can post that form here or elsewhere and I could try to annotate it with Preview.

    May be that the text fields are read-only.

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • How to open a pdf form with fdf data

    Hi all,
          I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
    I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
    http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
    But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
    Can anyone know any other way to do this?
    Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
    Thanks in advance
    Annamalai

    @ Bernd. It still opens a text file
    Here's my FDF file sample
    %FDF-1.2

    (I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
    Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
    ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
    this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
    I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
    I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
    and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

  • Populating a PDF form with database data

    I would love to know how (if possible) to populate an Adobe PDF form with data pulled from an Access database.
    Background
    I have a registration form already created using Adobe LiveCycle which is used by people to fill in their details.  With a built-in xml schema, the user saves the form and sends them to me.  I extract the data into an xml document which I can then import in an Access database using VBA code.
    The Need
    When it comes time to re-register, much of the original data provided by the user has not changed.  Rather than ask them to fill out the form all over again, I would like to send them their original data and they can update whichever fields they need to.  With the xml schema built into the form, I would love to turn this form into a two-way avenue for both importing and exporting data.  Is this possible?
    Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if I have not provided enough information.
    Brett

    You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
    Does that make sense?

  • PDF form with buttons opens up URL with security warning window

    I have a short-lived process that renders PDF form with data merged. The data is in XML format. 
    The form buttons are assigned URL values when the form is opened. When I click on them,I get a Security warning prompting me to allow/block that site. When I click on 'Allow', I get a window of download statistics of the website that in the URL.
    This would be annoying to the end user. How I do I suppress the Security warning window as well as the download statistics window before the PDF is opened ? Can this be done either at the process design, form design stage or using Java APIs ?
    Thanks,
    Jyothi

    Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • Saving pdf form with extended Reader rights

    Hello,
    I want to save form changes without further confirmations in Reader version X ("Save" and not "Save as...").
    - If you use a pdf form with enabled Reader rights, you should be able to save any changes made in form field by using the Reader.
    - To save changes use "File / Safe" or press CRTL+S
    Result:
    - Save-as window will appear
    - After choosing save button you will be asked to overwrite existing file.
    Expected results:
    File should be saved without further confirmations! In Reader version 9 there was no problem with that.
    Does anybody had the same problem and found a solution?
    Regards,
    Christian

    OK, it seems to be a typical "it's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature"-problem. But I found no way to avoid the overwrite question during saving. I noticed that the question appears only the first time when you click on the save button. If you do further changes in form fiels and click a second time on the save button the document will be overwritten without additional warnings. Maybe it's a feature to prevent users from overwriting empty forms by asking for a new filename and so on..
    However, we are using the reader in conjunction with a document management software and the overwrite warning disturbs our enterprise workflow. So the only insufficient solution for my problem is to downgrade all users to version 9 again.
    Hope next version of reader will be better in disabling unwanted features ;-)

  • Filling PDF Form with XML data file

    Hello everybody.
    I need help.
    I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
    I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
    (Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
    So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
    Thanks for your reply
    Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

    Hello Mike
    Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
    I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
    I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
    Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
    Thank you in advance for your reply

  • Using iPad2 to fill PDF forms with calculating cells

    I currently have the PDF Expert app. installed.  I have created a PDF form with calculating cells and cells with multiple selections using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  It works on my PC on 2 different PDF reader apps, however when I load it in PDF Expert on the iPad it does not calculate and the multiple selections aren't there.  It also does not keep the formatting of the cell.  I set the cells up as currency, however it does not show as currency once loaded in the PDF Expert app on the iPad.  Is there an app out there for the iPad that will allow PDF form fill in and will also show the cell formatting and calculations? Or is this a limitation caused by iOS? I have also tried Adobe's reader app for the iPad and it doesn't show it on there as well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I'd be amazed if you could. I wouldn't think it possible to even open a PDF, much less edit one.
