PDF upload in field

Hi everybody,
I do have the following problem:
I want to create a PDF-File with placeholders (fields??), so that a User is able to upload another PDF that is then shown at the palceholder. Afterwards that "updated" PDF should be saved as a PDF that is not editable. Is this possible?
Best Regards und thanks for help in advance

You certainly can't place a PDF file within a page of another PDF file in the same way you can place one in Word, for example; but with Acrobat you can insert pages from one file in between the pages of another.

May be that the text fields are read-only.

Combining PDF Form causes fields to disappar, Acrobat to crash when trying to edit combined PDF

I have a 10 page PDF form that I can edit normally. I combine it using the Combine Files wizard. The resulting PDF has several fields disappear upon saving, and causes Acrobat to crash every time if I try to edit the form. I can combine the original PDF form with no other document, and the error still occurs. I have several similarly named fields, such as Name#1 and Name#2, and it seems that all those fields disappear after going through the Combine Files process. I can open the resulting PDF, and fill in the remaining fields, but attempting to edit the form causes Acrobat to crash each and every time.
I have used this process before, with no problems, but it fails every time on this form.
This is the error in the Event Viewer: Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 10.0.0.396, time stamp 0x4cc5ebc0, faulting module AcroForm.api, version 10.0.0.396, time stamp 0x4cc5f5cc, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0012d905
This is using Acrobat X Standard and Pro on XP Pro and Vista.
If I open the original PDF, and insert a new PDF as new pages, that works fine.
I updated Acrobat to the latest patch, problem remains. I don't know how to resolve this.

Did a little more testing and this is what I found. If I use the "Insert from file" feature to combine a cover sheet plus 3 AcroForms (inserting each file one by one), eveyrthing appears to work. However, if I use the "Combine via Acrobat" feature I run into the issue of fields disappearing once combined.
I shoudl also add that perhaps the issue had something to do with the fact that I initally produced the cover page pdf via Photoshop "save as PDF". Perhaps that contirbutted to the structure issue despite it being a PDF...maybe under the hood things are structured differently. Who knows.
Just FYI for others: What appears to be working is using the "Insert from file" option vs "Combing via Acrobat". Also, if you are including a non-AcroForm PDF, be sure it a traditional vs. saving as a PDF from Photoshop.
Alot of this may be a fluke, but it seems to fix my issue - for now.

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,
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… ).

Export to PDF, upload PDF to flash base software, type become garbled

Export Indesign5 document to PDF, uploaded PDF to online flash base software.
some of type become garbled.
Do you have any idea to solve problem?

0% and embed.
However, also check whatever font you are using to ensure its license includes embedding. I don't think that (license) is an issue because the catalog itself displays fine--however I could also have the used font(s) on my local system and that would still display fine.
If regenerating it with fully embedded fonts results in the same problem, I would contact the people responsible for the conversion and see how they pull the product description data from the flash/PDF. It just seems to me that it is their issue because they are pulling data and formatting it in the search results in perhaps a different font.
Take care, Mike

Shown PDF loses Form Fields

Hi
Perhaps someone could please help me
I have a PDF that is built from 3 seperate PDF's into 1. Each PDF has form fields that are filled with data by my software, then the resulting PDF is saved to a temporary PDF. When I load that PDF into Adobe Reader, the first page is displayed fine, but pages 2 onwards lose all form field values. However, when I load this PDF into other PDF Viewing software, the PDF looks perfect.
Can anyone perhaps help with anyideas
Thanks

My guess is that the problem is not the filling but the combining. Combining PDF files containing forms requires special processing, and your software is not doing it. If you consult ISO 32000-1 you will see that form fields need to be included in two places: the Annots dictionary for the page they appear on, and all together in ther per-document AcroForms dictionary.
In your example the AcroForms dictionary contains only the fields from the first page; when other PDFs were added their AcroForm was simply ignored. We now have two pages with form fields which don't conform to spec, so it isn't surprising that there are differences among software. Acrobat has the most sophisticated form handling, and it may be the most sensitive to errors.

When combining multiple PDF's, the field properties change

When combining multiple PDF's, the field properties for the Font and/or the "Scroll long text" checkbox change settings. What is causing this to happen?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I do indeed have the same field name across multiple files, but they are all set the same in their individual files.

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

But seriously...
Is there any development being done for this? I have a careers section on our website that I have been asked to "make easier for applicants" (right now, there is a link that just opens an email). I'm going to make a full version of an application, but I would really like a way to upload resumes and CV's.
I'm going to have to look into some kind of service if this isnt something on the Muse radar. A reply of some kind would be fantastic!

Order ack pdf ---missing customer field

Hello SDN Gurus,
I have a requirement to convert the sales order into pdf .when ever the sales order is created the user should get the email with the pdf . Everything is fine except that when we see the pdf the customer field on the order ack is missing while if we see the normal print preview it is existing.
Does anyone else has experienced such a thing . what could have gone wrong and why the customer details are not getting printed on the pdf .
Please , suggest something ............

Hello Yadav,
Thanks for the reply.
The t-code to view the smartform is "SMARTFORMS".
When i check the print program that i found through Nace -
V1------output type -
looked for the print program in print output option.
Now when i go to se38 , i check the program and look for the FM CONVERT_OTF_TO_PDF , and it says does not exist .
Also i tried to check the program of the smartform -
smartforms -
display....f8-display--goto main program and then click on the last option ending with FOi and i looked for the FM there also but it is not there .
My question is if the FM does not exist then how the sales order is getting converted in PDF form but only the customer field is not getting printed though it is printed in the normal print preview etc.
Please help
Sumit

Dynamic XML PDF not importing fields

I have a PDF developed in Livecycle and saved as a dynamic XML.
My database is MS Access and from this I've exported a query saved as an XML file, a XSD schema and an XSL stylesheet. (files attached)
I'm trying to populate the PDF from the above mentioned files client-side. I have the fields set up to display in a table with repeating rows.
It seems that I've set everything up okay and I get no error generated in the log file when I preview the PDF in Livecycle, but, the fields are not
being generated.
I suspect maybe this is because I don't have the nested forms set up properly for a flowed subform. But I should get at least the first row generated
shouldn't I, if it is reading the nodes in the XML?
Attached is (a mock-up) of the PDF along with the XML, XSD and XLS. This form should flow to other pages when dynamically built and I'm hoping to
display the header on each page (the header will be on the Master Page -- it will contain site links, etc.)
I hope to not only import data to a PDF this way but also to export fields from the PDF in the same way for database edits...
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the attached?
And, on another note... do all of the above need to be in the same folder together on the server or can I put the PDF in one folder and the XML, XSD
and XLS a different folder? (Or the PDF and XLS in the same folder and XML and XSD files in a different folder, etc.)...
Thanks for any reponses on this.

Sorry for the delay in replying to this post. I got stuck at a friend's from the weekend snow we had... and am finally back on my own computer.
Just before leaving Friday I found the problem with the form not displaying data fields read from the XML.
It's a bit embarrassing to admit but, per Steve's instruction here to change the form preview properties (file/form properties) (thanks, Steve!) - I changed the preview from 'print one-sided' to 'interactive' and noticed that I had not set up the link to the XML under 'Data File'. Duh! So, it is reading the data from the XML now.
However... For the form to display, I had to (under 'connection properties) take the XSLT file off. Under 'Connection Properties' the form is set up as XML Schema with the link to the XSD set up.
The problem now is that a few of the dynamic fields are numbers. These number fields in the database only have two digits to the right of the decimal point (as in 93.79) but when the form loads these fields in the table in preview mode these fields contain 8 digits to the right of the decimal point (as in 93.79362082). I don't know why this is except that maybe it is because it's no longer reading from the XSLT file. All I want it to do is read the field exactly as it is in the database...
The table on the form doesn't display as it should either. The table expands with the rows its presenting but this runs to the very bottom of the page and doesn't flow to the next page. I've tried changing the size of the 'root' form on the Master page as well as the size of the 'parent' subform of the table subform but the table still runs to the bottom of the page... I'll keep playing around with this until I fix it unless someone can point me in the right direction...
Thanks for any leads on this...
(new corrected file attached)
Graham, this stuff really is interesting! These handful of files working together to build a dynamic PDF, reading the database XSD schema, an XML file and the XSL file as well as throwing in some Javascript functions is really cool... I'm also (hopefully) planning to have Cold Fusion query the database, depending on the login person's admin privilages, parse the fields from the database and build the XML file from this data 'on the fly' at login... Quite a lot going on in the background here to build the PDF! (I wish I could answer your question about the stylesheet but, obviously from the above, I'm a novice at this - I'm new at this and trying to grope my way around this stuff in the dark. These forums have been helpful as well as googling questions, but, there is still a learning curve here. I'm pretty rough with Javascript as well and that's a big feature of this stuff...)
Thanks to anyone for direction on getting this file to display properly and the number fields to show the same as in database...

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.

Word Count/PDF uploads

I am very new to LiveCycle Designer. A form has been was previously created and I need to add additional items. Currently, I need to add a word count to a text field. Does anyone have a script that they are currently using for the word count? Also, can you create and option where the form will allow an upload anything other than a jpeg to the form (like a word.doc or pdf)?
Thanks,
Jennifer Jones

You should ask these questions in the LiveCycle Designer forum. This one is for forms created in Acrobat (Acroforms).
But I'll take a stab at the upload question here. If you mean that you want to allow the user to attach a file to the PDF, then there are two ways if it needs to work with Reader. The first involves Reader-enabling the form with LiveCycle Reader Extensions, which has the option of adding the file attachments usage right. This usage right cannot be added when enabling the document with Acrobat. If the form is a static XFA, as opposed to dynamic, then if you enable the document so that commenting is allowed, then users can attach files as comments.
