Pdf online with fields

Hello, I am looking to post a document online, which users can add comments to & fill fields in, and then it be saved online, similiar to a guestbook.
Will a pdf document work this way?
I know I have write permissions issues to address on my website, but would a pdf be editable like this?
Thanks

No. A PDF would be edited locally. It might be possible for someone with Acrobat to edit it and save it locally, then upload the edit through HTML.

  • Pdf form with fields ppl can type into

    I have a pdf form with fields that are not able to be typed in. How can I edit them so that ppl can type into the field?

    Hi courtneyp58664902,

    You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
    You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
    Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

  • How to save PDF with fields so someone can fill out form and send it to printer

    Using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac, I built a pdf template with fields for
    sending an assortment of Business Card files to the printer to print.
    How do I save the file so my brother/client can start typing in different
    names, job titles, and contact info and send them to a printer.
    Thanks,
    jsorlean

    Create your form.
    go to advanced menu
    choose the item about Reader Rights
    when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
    Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
    Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.

  • I have a form that i need to convert to a pdf with fields

    i am working on a form that will be used for registration. I created it in Publisher then saved it as a jpeg.  In order to be more efficient with collecting information, i need to save this form as a pdf with fields so it can be filled out online and perhaps saved and emailed back to me. Please help!!

    I am not sure Publisher was the best approach as there is no conversion from Publisher directly to the PDF format as there is with Word.
    You will Acrobat Standard or Professional to create PDF forms. There is a 30 day free trial of Acrobat Professional and after that period you need to either buy a copy of Professional or subscribe tot he cloud product. You could also uninstall the Professional version and buy or subscribe to the Standard version.
    Entire books have been written about creating forms with Acrobat.
    Once you acquire Acrobat, I would print the Publisher document to the Adobe PDF printer and then use Acrobat to add the form fields.
    You are also going to need to review how various computer systems work with PDF forms, which browsers work well with PDF forms, how the older versions or Acrobat/Reader work with forms, and email, and if any mobile device will be used how the different apps work or do not work with PDF forms.

  • 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 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. 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.

  • PDF Template with user updateable fields

    Does anyone have instructions from begin to end on how to create a PDF template with a field that is both populated by XML and allows for user to update when opened in Adobe 8 viewer or higher? I have been successful in creating the template, but once the pdf is output via concurrent program XDODTEXE the fields are no longer updateable. I have looked into the xdo.cfg in XDO_TOP and set the property all-field-readonly to FALSE, but I am still unsuccessful. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks,
    Jamie
    We solved the problem... xdo.cfg contained a typo.
    Edited by: jmdavis on Jan 22, 2009 1:35 PM

    Sorry... I was only successful in getting the fields to update with Adobe Professional. Viewer works on the original template I associate to the XML / PDF, but when I view the output in Viewer I get a warning indicating the extended features have been changed. I am still searching... I will update when I get the final answer.

  • Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO

    Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

    When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

  • Optimize a PDF doc with form fields

    Hi All,
    I have completed a PDF with multiple form fields (about 70). It's only one 8.5 x 11 page. It is 2.2 mB large. I've tried different ways of Optimizer but it always removes the input field functionality.
    How can I decrease file size while maintaining the integrity of the form? Thank you so much in advance. PDF attached.
    Dina

    Generally, the only thing that I remove after creating a pdf file with forms that doesn't effect the fields is to remove embedded fonts. It would be best to to all of the other optimizations before creating the form fields.
    That's nice you say, but I've got the form fields already. Try reducing the size (as you have already done), then replace the page in the file with the form fields with the one whose size you have reduced. The form fields should stay. I don't know what happens to the size of the new file, let us know?

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?
