PDF ONLINE FORMS

I have converted a form from RTF to PDF successfully but how do I make it so that people can fill it in online (enter text) and then send it back via email, filled out.
Do I need a different programme - I have Adobe 8

Not really.
The creator of the form could set the form up so the info can be "submitted" which wouldn't require saving but to have the entire form, filled out, sent via email, it would need to be saved.

PDF Online Form in Safari Not Working

I'm using a macintosh computer (powermac G5, osx 10.5.8). When I use the online form at this local website it opens the window and it acts like a PDF. I know it's a PDF that you can fill out online. But the way my Mac handles PDFs is it opens the PDF within Safari. The page is an html page but it's a PDF that you fill out online and submit online in a web browser. So I can't download it and upload when finished. It has to be filled out online. I can do it on a PC but I don't have access to that.
Anyone know what I can do?
P.S. I've tried Opera Browser, Camino, Firefox.

So are you saying it works as in you can go to the next page and see the form to be filled out or are you saying you can see the page when it comes up? I see the first page of the document but I can't scroll or go to the next page that has the actual form fields to fill out.
I don't see font dupes but I do have several "minor problems" with an exclamation beside them.
I don't see how font's would prevent this pdf from being viewed.
oops I do see the dupes. that is why there's a warning. How do I get rid of the dupes? If I click remove selected fonts will it remove both of the fonts or just the dupe?

HELP - Having Problem in opening PDF online form

Hi,
I am having a problem in opening a PDF form online, in fact it is a Canadian visa application form which i need to fill and submit online, but it's been more than 2 weeks I am unable to open it online, all the time I am getting same message 'To view the full content of this document you need a later version of PDF viewver' I have already installed the latest version but still it's not opening, I tried all the Browsers too but no scuccess, I am using Mac but I tried it on PC of a friend too and got the same Error.
Please Help me, I am getting frustated now, it's wasted my 2 weeks, and the most interesting thing is that you can save this PDF on your computer, and once you have saved it its opening too in Adobe reader, but NOT at all opening online, but need to do it online - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5257E.pdf
Please HLEP
Thanks in Advance.

I don't know Safari, but I know that Chrome and Firefox use their own PDF viewers, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Try to configure them to use the Adobe PDF plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Adobe pdf online form: how to stay anonymous

If i fill out a smart pdf form online where i enter some information into the form, how can i make sure my ip address is not shown? If I use a proxy and disable javascript will the smart pdf form only see the proxy's ip address? Anything else I should disable? And if I didn't want to disable javascript and I use the TOR onion routing proxy will only the TOR exit node's ip address be shown?

That has nothing to do with Adobe Reader or PDF forms.

Completing PDF online forms without saving to computer

Is it possible to recieve an online PDF form through email, fill it out, and send it back to the sender without saving it down to my computer first?

Not really.
The creator of the form could set the form up so the info can be "submitted" which wouldn't require saving but to have the entire form, filled out, sent via email, it would need to be saved.

How do I match the printed pdf page breaks with the page breaks from the online form?

The online form is setup to be 4-5 separate pages...each page going to a different person/group when it is printed in a pdf. However, when the form is printed, it prints out all the blanks and the forms are off by about a half page.
Is there any way to not print the blank spaces (I have several boxes hidden based on choices of the user), and to make the printed pdf honor the online page breaks?

Hi;
When you are viewing the "Design" while authoring your form there is a "View" setting that you can access from the "View" menu along the top right, or from the dropdown at the bottom right corner, if you change from "Web View" to "Page View" you can add page breaks there that will affect the PDF.
Page View is an authoring view to design for PDF where Web View is an authoring View to design for web/browser/HTML forms. You can use both so that your form looks good in both web and PDF. Some features have to be added/edited in Web View because they are not supported in PDF such as Attatchments and Skip/Page logic, those are not available to add/edit in Page View. The Page Breaks added in Web View are not used in the PDF, in Page View "Implicit page breaks" are added automatically based on the size of the page in PDF and you can add "Explicit page breaks" using the form field toolbar as you did in Web View (which will only be used in the PDF).
When you ask if there is any way not to print the "blank spaces" you are referring to the questions that had remained hidden based on skip logic right? At this time the entire form is saved/printed to PDF, there is not an option to omit those hidden fields.
I hope that I understood your issue correctly, let me know if I can help further.
Thanks,
Josh

How so you save a pdf copy of an online form?

Is it possible for someone who is filling out an online form to save it as a PDF?
Thanks!

Hi erinmacleod,
It is not possible to save a PDF copy of the online form i.e. if we distribute it as a Web form.

ONLINE FORM - CANNOT DOWNLOAD TO PDF

Hello - I created a form today in the online form creation site, I wanted to download it to a stand alone pdf but it requires that I have a subscription however, since they are cancelling the service in July, they are not selling subscriptions to the service so my form is essentially stuck in there - I've tried converting it via the option within internet explorer and it comes out black. Does anyone have any sort of way to help me get this form out in pdf form?

I have the same issue. I created a form in Forms Central via Acrobat X Pro but unable to export it to .pdf without upgrading. The Forms Central site will not allow for upgrades any longer. I exported the design file but that won't open in Acrobat X Pro. Can someone help me get this form into .pdf without losing what took me so long to create?

Online form to Populated PDF

I need an online form that will populate a PDF of the online for clients to be able to save to their computers and print as needed. can FormsCentral do this?

Well then Randy maybe you might be able to suggest a solution for me. I am a registrar at a public online K-8 school. State law requires that we have a parent signed enrollment form in a student's cummulative records. It would be very handy to have the parent access an online form from our website, have them complete and submit the form, which in turn sends all the repsonses in the fields to a spreadsheet, and creates a printable pdf that parents can sign and mail to our office.
I know what you are thinking but our state department of education has not entered the 21st century regarding electronic signatures from parents.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

I used Adobe Export PDF to convert an online form to word. I only got the form,not the fill-ins. ???

Form document will automatically be saved after closing the file. As far as cloud message is concerned, it seems your Mobile link setting has been turned on. When you pressed device back button after filling the form, it was saved to your Acrobat.com account. You can access this document by going to Acrobat.com tab present in left pane. Its a cloud storage area where you can upload/save any document.
Thanks,

Is there a save function for online forms?

Hi, I've created an online form which requests quite a lot of information from those who it is sent to. Because of its size, I have made use of the skip logic rules to so that users can quickly skip sections that don't apply to them. Notwithstanding this, the form asks questions which users may need to reseach and come back to so it wouldbe really useful if the form had a save function. Does anyone know if such a function exists and if not, whether there are there imminent plans to develope one?
If not, regreattably I will have to try and find another solution for online information gather that has a save and return function.

hi randy
I wholely support the request for a save feature for online forms, any idea of an ETA for this?
Also to expand on this- the ability to print the web form would be brillant.
a few options for the web forms submit to print, save.
Web forms after/before submission maybe to save as a pdf locally - which then could be printed out.

Converting a pdf online to word produces only garbage!!

converting a pdf online to word produces only garbage!!
One page becomes to pages and sections float all OVER the place.
There are plenty of complaints of adobe online NOT working - Adobe what do you do apart form offering crap online software.

Hi 5dock,
I'm sorry that the ExportPDF service isn't meeting your expectations. The quality of the conversion is very dependent on the quality of the original PDF. Some applications produce more well-structured PDFs than others.
That said, what happens when you disable OCR as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel? Does that produces a better looking Word document?
Best,
Sara

"Access Denied" pop up error while opening adobe online form in IE8. I use crosslink to connect to client network and then open IE with App Tunnel. Tried to re-install Acrobat reader multiple times but issue still persist. Even tried to change the PDF properties (Edit-> Preference- General/Internet/Security Enhanced)

Hello Adobe technical Team,
I am struggling to fix the issue. Tried a lot of combinations to manipulate PDF preference, browser setting but failed to fix the issue. Can someone please look into the details and advise? Thanks in advance for any help.input.

Online form... is there a way to do this?

My company's website has been using formGenie for several years to process our online forms.
http://www.form-genie.com
I initially began using their script to process our online application located here:
http://www.escswa.org/Application.pdf
formGenie solved my issue several years ago, in that it allows you to create a form, then using a few hidden fields and a simple script file, you can transmit the form to an email address where it will open the information back up in the same online pdf form so that it looks like the "filled out form" on the receiving end as well. This worked well for my employer who just wanted to be able to print the online application once she got it (and wanted it to look like our application instead of a string of data).
In the past couple of years we have started having issues with the form. Our biggest is that people on Mac computers can't submit the form most of the time. I am needing to create a lot of forms this month and wanted to see if there are other options available now. I use CS3... is there a way that I can create and process my own form online - so that it will visually look like the actual form when received by an email address and opened?

When you create a form in FormsCentral you can set up the option to recieve email notifications (with the option to include the responses in the email). You can save/distribute the form as a PDF and when the user clicks the "Submit" button the data is collected in FormsCentral and the notification is sent to you.
If you wanted to have the actual PDF emailed to you that is not currently supported using the FormsCentral data collection PDF but you could create the form in FormsCentral and save a PDF that is not enabled to collect data (from the Design Tab clicking "File - Save as PDF form" will save a PDF without the Submit button) you could then modify the PDF in Acrobat adding your own Submit button that would email the PDF back to you.
Thanks,
Josh

Show/hide objects/fields in PDF application (form) ...

Hello,
I'm creating a PDF application (form).
The layout is being done in InDesign then the fields/buttons/drop-down boxes are being added in Acrobat Pro.
I have a situation in the application where the user will select an option from a drop-down menu ... let's say the options are "car" and "airplane". (These are just examples.)
when the applicant selects "car" it should only show the following fields ...
Tires
Engine
Fuel Economy
When the applicant selects "airplane" it should only show the following fields ...
Wingspan
Max. Altitude
Seating Capacity
How do I do this? I only want the applicant to see/access the fields that are relevant to the selections they make earlier in the application.
From what I've found online, "Java Script" is what I need to work with ... but I have no idea how that works.
I have no ability to write code from scratch, but I have been successfull at modifiying existing code.
Some examples or some code that I can copy/paste and modify would be great.
Also, where do I go within Acrobat to access/modify the code?
Thanks in advance!
