.pdf web forms
Is there way to deliver these forms, over the web, so that when the user submits it, the .pdf is sent to a particlar e-mail address (like standard "form mail" for HTML forms) AND includes intact digital signature/ID information.
It appears that Adobe Reader has some real limitations when it comes to .pdf forms, and digital signatures in particular. I have been trying to create a form that can be digitally signed but multiple users. The only way an Adobe Reader user can add a digital signature, that I have had any success with, is if the .pdf is attached to an e-mail. If they get the .pdf in any other way, they are unable to get the digital signature/sign document window to pop up when they click the digital signature field.
Has anyone had any success with Adobe Reader and digital signatures? Is this issue unique to my organization? Users are on Acrobat Reader v.8

I need to know why pdf web forms are no longer opening within a browser page where they can be filled out and submitted to the website in question. This is a huge part of my job and now I can't do my work in this browser.

They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.

PDF WEB form returned to me as PDF
This is all new to me. I need to attach a fillable PDF to our website and receive the same form back in PDF form not as a FormsCentral "view responses" spreadsheet. How do I go about doing that?
I have the form uploaded to FormsCentral. I don't know where to go from there.
Help...When you are saving your design as a PDF you can simply select the "Don't Collect Responses" option. This will create a PDF that you can distribute and collect via email or other service.

I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck. All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button. It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral. What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website. Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting. I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral. This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.
I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables. The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows. Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

PB 12.5.1 Web Forms save as PDF
I'm having trouble creating PDF files in a Web Forms app deployed to a new server. I've done this successfully a few times using apparently identical configurations, so I'm not sure what's going on. Facts about the situation:
1. PB Classic 12.5.1 Web Forms target
2. IIS 7.5 on a remote Windows Server 2008 R2 server
3. Ghostscript 8.71
4. To determine whether Ghostscript was the problem, I installed a Win32 version of the PB app on the IIS server computer and tested. SaveAs() works as expected in the Win32 target.
5. To determine whether file system permissions were a problem, I used the Web Forms app to SaveAs() a text document and performed the DownloadFile(). The file downloads as expected.
6. It is the SaveAs() function call that is failing. The line
dw_report.SaveAs(<filename>, PDF!, FALSE)
returns -1
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...Ronnie,
Here is some code that I use in a webform application to create a PDF file and send it as an attachment. Remember that you have to do MapVirtualPath so you can find the file after you do dw_1.saveas...
Also, when I had trouble it was because I named my printer 'Sybase Datawindow' instead of 'Sybase Datawindow PS'.
Chris Pollach recently posted some great step by step installation procedures for 32 and 64 bit machines.
Best,
Paul

Convert HTML Web form to a PDF

How can I add a digital download (pdf) to an autoresponder from a web form?
I have a simple web form on my site, name and email. I know how to access and edit the autoresponder email, but I dont know how to add a digital download. I want the auto responder to include a PDF. Can anyone help me with this?
GDon't know if you've resolved this, but I would put the PDF in the Media Downloads then just add the link within the autoresponder of the form.
Hope this helps,

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.
For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image
How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
Hello.
I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Regards,
ArmandoMagesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

I created a pdf fillable form using Acrobat 9 and imported it into FormsCentral. Everything works fine! Is it possible now to make the form fillable as a web form? That would be not just a homerun, but a grand slam for me!
Hi;
This isn't something you can do with FormsCentral, the imported PDF allows you to distribute a PDF with a Submit button that collects the data back in FormsCentral for analasys but does not provide a URL or web version of the form.
Thanks,

Hello
I need your help on this trouble : filling a pdf online
What i want to do :
- prepare fillable pdf files on acrobat pro (already done)
- fill the fields on a web form
- get the filled pdf online
Is there a way to make that with adobe suite or maybe with another external software ?
ThanksSofia,
What you're describing is a server-side programming, where web form data populates PDF template - essentially, generating PDF based on user input. We've done similar work using PHP and I'm not aware of any canned solution that can do it without custom coding. -
Filling in PDF forms from web forms
I have acrobot pro, and can build PDF files. What I don't know how to do is build a web form that'll fill in PDFs, and then make a copy to the server, or email the pdf to the person who filled in the form.
What forum is the correct place to ask this question? I don't want to be irritating people by asking in the wrong place.This forum is fine, you just may want to provide more details. Acrobat's help has more information on creating forms, as do a number of tutorials at AcrobatUsers.com.
Submitting the entire PDF either to a web server or sending it by email is easy, but if it has to work with Reader, the form has to be Reader-enabled. You can do this in Acrobat, but there is a 500 form limit on the number of returned forms Iincluding hardcopies) that you can use data from if you distribute the document to more than 500 users. When you post a Reader-enabled document on a publicly accessible web site, you are effectively distributing it to an unlimited number or people.
An alternative is to set up the form to submit just the form data to a web server or send it via email. There are no licensing restrictions for this. The form data can then be later imported back into a blank form, stored in a database, or the data file archived.
Much of what you asked about does not involve Acrobat directly, but rather programming of the server to respond to a form submission. -
Pdf forms online to input data as opposed to traditional web forms
hello,
my level is beginner but i am given a project . well task
to create a online application system to reduce paper work.
i have seen some online application ( using pdf) on the web
and it seems better (looks better than a web form i ussually fill
out on the web.
i would like to start on a project that does this PDF forms
for online.
how do i start this.
i have seen one that you can start inputing on the web but
does not input (store in DB)
i wish to do this where i can store in a db
how do i get started on my online application using PDF.To do this you will need the Full Acrobat editor. With the
editor you
can take a PDF and add form elements to it and direct it's
action to an
action page on your site. You then publish the PDF and you
are in
business. This is well documented in the Acrobat help.

I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form. I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online. However, I think the form is an HTML web form. All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on. Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade? Help
You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.
