PHP script for a pdf form

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this problem?
I am using Dreamweaver CS3. Is there a php script I can use
to have the data that a user inputs into a form extracted and put
on a PDF form that pops up when the user clicks a button so the
user can then print and fax the completed form?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Why go to a PDF? Why not just print from a webpage?

Best web browser for submitting PDF forms

Is there a preferred web browser for submitting PDF forms, or can recipients submit the form via any of the common browers like Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc.?

We support all of the major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks

Third party encryption plug-in for a pdf form.

We are looking for an Adobe approved third party encryption plug-in for a pdf form. 256 bit, assymetric, two key, one public (embedded in form) and one private (accessible only to our organisation

I don't know that is a huge number of alternatives for Fractal plugins. You'll no doubt come across links for Fractalius and Genuine Fractals, but the first produces interesting strand like effects (after a very long wait) and the second is an image resize plugine which now belongs to On One, and is sold as Perfect Resize. And even that has been made irrelevant by the Preserve Details upres option in CC.
You are alos wize to be careful. Previous trusable sites like cnet on softonic are a nightmare nowdays, and too many of the free apps you find on them come loaded with malware. Some of it _serious_ malware DAMHIKIJKOK
But have a look at Fractal Explorer. I don't have experience with it, but it comes with the Pixel Bender name behind it, which is like a badge of excellence.

PHP script for form to upload 2 files to FTP

Hi,
I have scoured the internet for quite a while now looking for
a free php script that will enable me to:
1. Put a form on a page that has two uplaod boxes for a
client to upload two file svia theeir browser
2.The files will be one image (jpg) and one pdf
3. The files will always (each day) be called headshot.jpg
and resume.pdf
4. The script must allow the files on the server to be
overwritten by the new files of the same name each day
I have found MANY scripts, som eof which i can get to work,
but they were too sofisticated (checked for many things taht i was
not concerned for, didnt allow files to be overwritten, changed
directories of where the files were uplaoded to, changed the file
names automatically) and many that i wasnt able to get to work.
I just need something simple like the above. Unfortunately I
am no scripter, so when i tried to decifer the ready made scripts
and rearrange them to suit my needs, i messed things up.
Thanks immensely in advance of anyone who canb offer m eany
help or point me in a better direction. I wasnt sure where to post
this query/help plea.

Go to
http://www.php.net and read about
file uploads there. You will find
several scripts that will work just fine for you.
Or try this -
<?php
//places files into same dir as form resides
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$target=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/uploads";
foreach ($_FILES["files"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$target/$name")}
print "Upload completed";
else
print "Upload failed";
?>
<body>
<form action="" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>Pictures:
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send" />
</p>
</form>
This assumes that the incoming files will be properly named,
and that the
upload destination is a folder called "/uploads".

Automate Save as, Reader Extended for 160 .pdf forms using a script or macro?

I have 167 pdf forms made using Adobe Acrobat Pro X. when I sent out a test it could not be saved using Adobe reader. I know how to Save As; Reader Exended pdf; Enable additional features. this also forces me to create yet another document called something different like mydoc-2.pdf. Since you can't save these feature in the existing one?
Is there a way to automate this using javascript or something so I don't have to do each one.
1. open each pdf documewnt
2. set the Save As; Reader Exended pdf; Enable additional features.
3. save as name -2
repeat 1-3 for 167 files in folder A

There is no Adobe supported means for automating the application of usage rights, apart from their LiveCycle Reader Extensions server-based product. This is a very intentional restriction.

Using PHP to process submitted PDF Form and Upload FDF to Server

Hi All,
I have a PDF form online (created in Acrobat 9.0 Pro, NOT LiveCycle Designer!) that, once a user has filled it out and clicks the submit button, I want two things to happen:
1) I want the data from the form to be submitted to a custom PHP script, which I can do several different things with (store the data in a MySQL database, for example).
2) I would also like to upload/store/save (not sure of the proper vernacular) the filled out form (FDF file) to the web server.
Now what I need from you lovely people, either directly, or point me to where I can find the following:
1) How/What options do I choose for the Submit button in Acrobat 9.0 Pro when I create the PDF?
2) What/Where can I find a PHP code snippet to get the data from fields in the submitted form?
3) I know you can set up an Acrobat form to e-mail a copy of the FDF file to a specified e-mail address. Instead of emailing that FDF file, I want to store it directly to a folder on my web server. However, just setting the URL in the submit button to a folder on my web server doesn't seem to do the trick. So, I guess what I need is to somehow reference the FDF file with my custom PHP script... something like $_POST["fdffile"] ???? Please if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! Because, if I can reference the FDF file, I can then use PHP's built in FTP functions to upload it to a specific folder on my web server.
Thanks for any input!!!

HI All,
can someone please quide me how I can make this code to work for me?
Where and what folder I have to put this PHP script?
What my http will be?( I will use localhost)
What the name of my PDF file(create by LiveCycle Designer)
What the name of the file I will receive and where(folder) will be send it via the server?
I see these name below in the PHP script but I can not make out what....
configuration.php
administrator/xml
administrator/pdf
THANK you

Multi-Layer Document Script Triggers in PDF Form

I have a PDF form that has a total of 5 pages with text fields and navigation buttons. I would like the form to hide/unhide pages based on user input. For instance, the user will start on page 1. Once the user completes all the fields on page 1 the user will click on a button I laid out at the button of the page called "Next" and at this point a validation script should be triggered when the users clicks on the button to make sure all fields are completed before showing the information to be completed in Page 2. Basically I'd like my form to guide the user to the next page as long as the previous required fields are completed before the next page is shown (unhidden). If the fields from the previous page are not completed then the next page(s) will remain hidden.
How can I go about designing my form to do just that? Any and all your advise, input and help is greatly apreciated!

You can use templates for this:

Problems with php script in the contact form

Hello, I am from the Czech Republic and I am not a coder. I have 2 problems with my php sript. I am using a simple php script from Paul Trani, see below.
Firstly the email adress - when someone inserts an email adress in this form [email protected] it is OK, but when someone writes an address for example [email protected] (this type of adress is very common in our country) the answer is "That is not a valid email address. Please return to the previous page and try again." I think the problem is the dot before the @.
Secondly diacritical marks - Since I am from the Czech Republic we use diacritical marks (for example š,č,ř,ž,á,í,é,ě) so instead of this letters a get ? or Å or Å¡ to my email.
I really do not know how to fix these problems.
Thank you for any help. Sorry for my English. Peter

ereg() has been deprecated, it is recommended that you dont use it.
You want to look at this
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
Within this page I found this:
If you need to check for .com.br and .com.au and .uk and all the other crazy domain endings i found the following expression works well if you want to validate an email address. Its quite generous in what it will allow
<?php
        $email_address = "phil.taylor@a_domain.tv";
     if (preg_match("/^[^@]*@[^@]*\.[^@]*$/", $email_address)) {
         return "E-mail address";
?>

Wisdom of keeping PHP scripts embedded when submitting forms

I was wondering if it would be more secure if the php scripts I'm using to insert user names and contact info into my database would be more secure if the code was moved to a new page called insrtRecord.php and the form action were changed from action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" to action="/Scripts/insrtRecord.php"
The page was constructed entirely with Dreamweavers built in behaviors so all the code is right there in the contact page for anyone to look at.
I'd then password protect the Scripts directory that contained the insrtRecord.php file to keep it from prying eyes.
Thanks for your advice.

>He took a look at my site, checked the code, and I was sure that I saw some PHP tags pop up.
Rick, if you did see a tag then it must have been due to a misconfigured script. Any valid php will be parsed on the server and not sent to the client.
>My Connections folder with the database un and pw is in a protected directory
>and there's never a call to put in a password when a page connects to the MySql database.
>This leads me to believe that I can protect all my PHP scripts.
But connection scripts are referenced using includes which is different than what you originally suggested. I'm not saying it won't work, I really don't know. But it's easy to test and if it works I don't see any harm in adding another layer of security.

Adobe Reader 11.0.09 - some certificates no longer accepted for signing PDF forms

After installation of the patch 11.0.09 of Adobe Reader some certificates are no longer accepted for signing (not enlisted in list of certificates) when clicking the sign fields of PDF forms. The forms were created using LiveCycle Designer.
Is it by design or is it a bug? If it is by design, what is the change, which caused this behavior? We are facing the problem, when our users are no more able to sign the request forms using their client certificates.
The example is on the following screenshots.

Hi Milan,
Yes, there has been some enhancements in this domain, You may check the release note of 11.0.09:: 11.0.09 Planned update, Sept 16, 2014 — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes

Looking for a PDF Forms designer/programmer

I have created several forms using LiveCycle but I have a need for a complex form that may be above my LC experience level and time available. Are there any companies out there that will create a form for me? I am not interested in online form building or online form management. I want someone to build a PDF form that I can save a hard copy and distribute or link to our website.

HI,
PDF Pen or Adobe Acropat Pro...

Can I make a web link for Imported PDF forms?

I imported a PDF form onto formscentral. When I click the distribute tab I do not get the same options as if I created the form on formscentral. Can I create a web link for my imported PDF form?

Hi;
No, the Import PDF feature allows you to save a new version of your PDF form that has a "Submit" button that submits the data back to FormsCentral which is available for you to view, analyze and manage on the View Responses tab. It does not provide a "web" version of the form.
In order to make the PDF form available online you will want to create a link to download the PDF and instruct users to fill it out using the free Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), you do not want to allow the PDF to be opened inside of a web browser as that will not work for most users. The FormsCentral PDFs must be filled out using Adobe Reader/Acrobat. Here is an FAQ on PDF in a web browser: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142

Show scrollbar for whole PDF form

Hi,
At the moment, on preview or when the form is embedded in a webpage, the scrollbar is not showing. I reckon this is because this PDF form only has 1 page. However, as user is allowed to zoom in/out for embedded PDFs on webpages, a scrollbar is needed. Is there a way to force the scrollbar of a PDF form to appear?
Thanks,
Bernard

Hi guys,
Found the solution.
There is a property that disables panes(which include scrollbars), i.e.
event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:5};
Hence, removing this line of code will fix this issue.
Regards,
Bernard

Exception : USAGE_ERROR
Message Id : FPUIFB Message Number : 039 .
Message : Text object doesnot exixts .
Kindly guide me to overcome this issue .
Thanks and Regards,
S.Sivakumar

this is no adobe specific error, it's from your application. You've some entries in your customizing so that specific texts are expected by the form.
go to the context, search your text there and check wheter the checkbox "no error when text is missing" is activated or not...
if the textbox is not activated but the text is missing --> thats the behaviour you have
