Photo or scan input into a PDF form using Camera by the user

If it hasn't already been done can I request a thought to creating a tool that requests the camera (or scanner) to take a image of a device's serial number or compliance plate or even someone portrait then input's into a form, and needs to be IOS, ANDROID or PC Compatable ?
Had a look and there is some HTML that says it opens a cam but doesn't seem to be able to add this into PDF buttons (probably me!) so if any one has some thought in an "Action" or create some java that could create this tool it would be very handy enhancement for inputting to PDF documents ...
HTML script found for image capture: <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera">
Any Ideas? Thanks in advance H

Hi pault36225916,
As per my understanding, you are using Acrobat X and want to add images directly into the PD document (correct me if I am wrong, please).
If so, then you can follow the steps given below:
1. Go to Tools > Content > Edit Object Tool
2. Right-click the page and choose Place Image
3. Choose any of these image formats: bmp, jpeg, gif, pcx, png, jpeg2000 or tiff
4. Select an image file and click open.
A copy of an image file appears on the PDF page with the same resolution as the original one.
Hope the above information helps you.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Anubha

Is there any way to add a text from html into a PDF form using javascript?

I have a SCORM based package having only a PDF form to show. I want to add user name from SCORM LMS to be added on the PDF whenever user launches PDF from LMS.
Please let me know if there is any way to execute this.
Thanx.

Hi, hbirkie, and welcome to Apple Discussions. No, there isn't any way to apply text to a photo in iPhoto — you have to do that in a different application. MS Word is the last one I would ever have thought of using for that purpose, but if it works for you, great!

How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
I can't find a way to go back.
The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

Why don't the questions as reported in forms match the order of questions on the pdf form used to collect the data?

I imported a PDF from for my survey. Then, I distributed it. People have completed it and the results have been submitted back to my FormsCentral account. The first two questions are text entry, then there are two 6 option multiple-choice questions before a 3 option multiple choice question. Why is it that in the report gives me results from four 6-option multiple choice questions before the 3-option question when there are only two? To make matters worse, the questions aren't coded with the text of the questions. They're coded cryptically, as are the responses. What the heck is going on and can I fix this?

Drew:
I'm having trouble deciphering what you wrote: "As I said, the initial order seems somewhat arbitrary from the user's perspective." As I work in the political arena, I'm parsing this out. It's either a brilliantly worded "you're screwed" statement, or there is some ambiguity and hope here. Let's deconstruct:
"initial order" Does this mean the order of my questions in the survey? There's nothing arbitrary about them. I know the order of my questions
"somewhat arbitrary" Does this mean there's actually some order to the way the results are being outputted? If so, how do I determine that order?
"from the user's perspective." Is there another perspective from which the actual (original/initial) ordering of the questions can be resurrected?
I'm not trying to badger. That's not my intent. You have a user here who is reading hope from your words, and I'm trying to distinguish between real hope and a nice way of saying "SOL."
So:
Answer One: There is some hope
Answer Two: SOL
After this, I can mark the question. Thank you.

Reading Data into a PDF form with cfpdfform and cfpdfformparam

I have been trying to read data from a query into a PDF form. I have the application setup to generate a new pdf file for every record in the database table which is working perfectly, but when I try to have the application pre-populate the form fields in the pdf form they remain empty. I have included a snippet of the code that creates the PDF documents. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 to create the PDF form.
Snippet Example:
<cfoutput query="renewals">
<cfset new_file = "#reportnumber#.pdf" />
<cfpdfform action = "populate" source = "beta.pdf" destination = "#new_file#">
<cfpdfformparam name="Legal_Contact_Name" value="#LegalContactName#">
</cfpdfform>
<cfpdf action = "write" source = "#new_file#" destination = "#new_file#" flatten = "yes" overwrite = "yes" />
</cfoutput>
All help is greatly appreciated...

I'm just glad I might be of any help.
First, make sure the image is embeded as a base64 encoded string in the xml structure you're working with on your form you've built in LiveCycle Designer.
I do this by reading the image file and outputing its content as a base64 string:
<cffile action="read" file="#expandPath('Path/to/your/image/file/BC.TIF')#" variable="imgObj" />
<img>#toBase64(imgObj)#</img>
Your PDF form should be bound to this 'img' field from your xml structure in LiveCycle Designer.
This works perfectly and the image from the xml is indeed displayed in the PDF form generated with cfpdf.
BUT, from the moment you convert the pdf form to static pdf document, the image will be gone - the dynamic text remains.
Note: I never further investigated why the image disapears once the pdf form is converted to 'static' pdf. Thinking about it now, it might have been an incoding issue. The toBase64() function in ColdFusion has an optional "Encoding" argument, may be by playing with the encoding the image might finally 'survive' the conversion to static pdf.
Good luck.
note: this will populate the pdf form from your xml structure in ColdFusion.
<cfpdfform action="populate" source="/path/to/LiveCycle_generated_templateForm.pdf" xmldata="#your_xml_structure#" destination="/path/to/result.pdf" overwrite="yes" />

How to programatically convert XDP form into Dynamic PDF form

Save editable form into regular PDF document using Acrobat Reader

Hello,
With Adobe Pro, I've created a PDF form using the following:
Save As Other...
Reader Extended PDF
Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)...
Once saved, I am sending this form to colleagues for them to fill out. These colleagues only have access to Acrobat Reader.
What I'm hoping to do is to have them save the file into a regular PDF document with the info inserted in the form but without the option to change the form info (change from editable form to regular PDF file).
Thanks for your help.

Hrm, OK. Well I actually DON'T have my document set as a reader extended PDF. If i fill out my fields then try to use the sign feature, it's not flattening the fields when I save/close reopen. They are still editable.
Just as a test, I saved it as reader extended and the sign feature is grayed out as you stated it should be. I am using acrobat X to create my fields and using reader XI to test inputting data/saving.
I need users to be able to fill it out, save then send and the recipient NOT be able to modify the fields. Am I missing something with the sign feature?
Thanks again for the reply!

Scaning into a .pdf form

I have created a .pdf form using Acrobat 9 Pro with 17 designated fields. What I would like to do is to be able to scan completed hardcopy forms of the same layout and pull only the content from the fields I designated on the form I created. Ultimately the info would then be exported into an ACT! database. Is this possible? Thanks!

You should have the data submitted and not the form. There is no need to get the form when the data is what you need. You can also extract the data within Acrobat.

smgchandler,
Any camcorder that can connect via USB or that can save to an SD card can interface with an iPad if you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit so that you can watch your videos on the new iPad's beautiful retina display. You can find this on the Apple website or in most big box retail stores.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

Rave

Capture image into a PDF form?

Hi,
Is it somehow possible to capture an image from a digital camera/scanner etc. (over WIA) into a PDF form?

Hi,
Designer ES doesnt have possibility to capture image from digital camera. You can create form from already existing PDF file with image.
To create this PDF you can use Adobe Acrobe 9 which has possibility to create pdf from Scanner.

Typing into a PDF form

I am trying to type into a PDF form that allows the form to be filled out and saved. However, when I type a letter, a number appears instead. Is there a setting issue that causes numbers to be typed instead of letters when depressing letter keys? Thanks

Hi Jon,
Even though you're only seeing this in your Acrobat forms at present, I still feel that problem is more likely related to your OS or even your hardware.
The forms works as expected everywhere else, so we know it's not a form issue. You've reinstalled Reader, so you should be dealing with factory defaults there.
I've googled this issue, and found that this issue has been reported (unrelated to Acrobat) by others using various hardware. For example, I've found the issue reported on an HP Pavilion, where the Num Lock key gets stuck on, and users get numbers when they type letters. I suspect something similar is happening on your system. What hardware are you using?

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form?

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form? Text (tab delimited) is not an option. I'm using Acrobat X Pro. Thank you in advance!

Hello George -- The form was not created by me, but appears to have originated in Acrobat. I also saved a copy with LiveCycle Designer to view/edit in design view. Unfortunlately both files had the same limited formats for import. Thanks, Julie
