Prefilling Info on FormsCentral PDF

Hello everyone!
I was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I am having with my FormsCentral fillable PDF.
I am trying to create a questionnaire that can be completed by our clients and submitted online. I have everything ready to go on my custom made form, but I am now trying to figure out if there is any way that to have select info (Ie. Name, phone number etc) prefill so that our clients are aware of the info we currently have on file and can advise of any changes. Our current quesitonnaire prefills from our client database and prints out a word document that is mailed out. Going electronic would save us trees and money!
I am trying to determine if there is any way that this can be done, otherwise this isn't going to work like my boss wants.
I would really appreciate any help!
Thank you!
Jordyn

Hi;
There isn't anything in FormsCentral to enable or automate this workflow.
You can certainly save the PDF of the form yourself and save a copy for each customer with the data pre-filled (by you) and then distribute each of those customized PDFs to the users.
Thanks,
Josh

  • FormsCentral PDF Form- How to View Multi-line Fields

    I have a FormsCentral PDF form, which allows users to fill out the form and save as a PDF. However, after receiving the completed forms, I am unable to see all the text in the multi-line field boxes without opening them and scrolling down. Since I will be sharing several of these competed forms with a review panel, please let me know:
    1) How to display the entire content of the multi-line field boxes rather than having the reader scroll down, then
    2)  How to save the completed forms so that its read-only when I send it to the review panel

    I can point you to some online information.  I really don't know the steps myself.
    This blog talks about how to do it in LiveCycle Designer: http://blogs.uoregon.edu/developments/2010/12/29/pdf-making-text-fields-grow-to-accommodat e-text/comment-page-1/
    You could also consider asking the user in this post for their idea on how to do it without making a dynamic form (LiveCycle): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841774
    Is there a reason you don't use FormsCentral to collect the responses?  You could sign up for a 1-month subscription unless you have security or other reasons not to collect with FormsCentral, and then you'd be able to collect your responses and download each one as a PDF form individually and that form would be locked and have expanded text fields.  You could stop automatic renewal and you would still have access to the form and responses in your Free level account (but could not collect more than 50 responses, if you already have greater than 50 those would remain).
    Thanks,

  • HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR AND when using it to open sites in safari I have no issue until I go to a link page that is a pdf file or I am trying to save the screen info as a pdf. I only get a black screen with no data, cannot find solution in help menu

    HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR (previously, still have 13.3 MCbook pro which works captures what I am looking for an answer to)
    when i open sites in safari the page opens fine if it is not a pdf based page.
    Once i open a site that has a link to another page that is a pdf based page the page comes up as a black screen with no info showing
    If I open a site that gices me an open to save a file to a word, excel type document or a pdf , everything works fine until I try to save the information to a PDF and again the screen goes black
    I have tried the safari help site but to no avail, does anyone have a solution to thid problem. (I do have the abode ofr mac program loaded)

    If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

  • FormsCentral PDFs not working for Linux and Unix users

    I recently created a PDF (using Indesign > Acrobat IX Pro > Formscentral [AFC]) that includes radio buttons, form fields, linked videos set to play in the PDF once clicked and (after running through AFC) a submit button.
    The form has been distributed and we have already had hundreds of successful responses collected in the AFC site, all is working well there.
    One major problem we are having is that we have a lot of Linux/Unix users and the response from them is that they can't activate the videos, the form fields are out of kilter alignmentwise and the submit button does not work. Even when using the proper Adobe Acrobat Reader (v9, for example).
    Is the Adobe development team aware of problems such as these for Linux/Unix platforms and is there a suggested fix that they know of?
    The link to the actual file is here: http://cms.iopscience.iop.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/b5a48eac-8642-11e2-8cf8-e 50acbc9fd86/NJP-Video-Abstracts-Competition-2013.pdf
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jesse,
    can you email me ([email protected]) the original PDF (before you imported it in FormsCentral)? Also, I'm curious about the format of the video in the PDF. Does the video in the PDF worked in Linux/Unix before going through the FormsCentral import/export?
    When I look at your PDF on my Red Hat Entrprise Linux 6.0 system with Reader 9.5.4 it does look fine (location of the fields) but the video generate an error (which I'm still investigating). I have not yet try the submit button on your form (as I don't want to submit bad data to you) but I seem to have an issue with the submit button on other PDF forms I generated (when I try to submit from a linux machine). Still investigating that as well.

  • Field visability problem in FormsCentral pdf-form.

    I made a form in FormsCentral which was saved as a pdf. I got a filled in form from my colleague and the text in the fields does not show. Only when you mark a specific field the text in that filed appears but dissapears again when you select something else. What could be the problem here?

    Yes, it was filled with Mac Viewer which caused the problem. The original form had to be refilled using Adobe Reader.

  • Need help on remote printing info for custom PDF form...

    Hi,
    I did quite a lot of search on this requirement but failed to access the correct info in this forum. In case anyone has already done this, please do explain and point to the right link. thanks
    I have a custom table where I will maintain every customer's email id, printer name (printer in his network where he wants me to print this PDF output, there can be multiple printers separated by comma) and his fax number.
    Question 1: For remote printing,what all details do I need to maintain in my custom table regarding that  printer (IP address or what ?? )? Also, any other configuration to be done to make this happen ?
    Question 2: In my code how do I trigger my ADOBE form to be sent to that remote printer for printing ?
    Currently I have done
    CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CALL FUNCTION z_FUNCNAME
    CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
    As of now, the print dialog opens and i can see the adobe output in the print preview option. This is OK for me when I want to do local printing. But how do I trigger the remote printing automatically based on the values in the custom table.
    This is purely a custom transaction based printing and hence no output determination is configured .
    Apologies if this question is repetitive, but I fail to assimilate the required info from the forum.
    thnks

    resolved.thanks

  • Books: Sorting PDF's / Using info fields with PDF's

    Since it is possible to manage PDF's in iTunes, I've been importing quite a few (well, just drag and drop). So far, I just changed the Name field to the title of the article or book, the Artist field to the authors name, and picked an appropriate genre.
    Since the info fields aren't really made for books and articles, I'm wondering which fields to use for publisher and series information.
    Anybody experimented with this already?

    You may try the VBScript in that discussion:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3796931#3796931
    If it works change your *.net script to that.
    If it not work try to get another one to test it on Acrobat X.
    Should be simple because VBS run's on every Win-PC.
    HTH,

  • Can I deliver collected info as a pdf?

    I would like to collect information from a user, including uploaded photos, in a skip logic format, then place that information into a pre-formatted document, and then deliver that document back to the user as a pdf. Is this possible with FormsCentral?

    Sorry, this workflow currently isn't support by FormsCentral. The only workaround would be manual one. You would have to save the PDF from the response table and then manually email to the respondent.

  • Making a FormsCentral PDF work on a web site

    How can I get my PDF form (FormsCentral) to accept the Submit button and send the results in? The PDF works fine on my desktop, but when I upload it to the web site the Submit button doesn't work.

    Hi
    If you want to embed a FormsCentral form in your web site, please embed the html form directly. Please follow the steps below to embed a form:
    1. open the form in design view
    2. go to Distribute tab
    3. Click on Embed button
    4. copy the script snippet and embed the scripts into your html web page
    PDF forms won't work.

  • How to extract the Title info from multiple PDFs

    Is there a utility or some program that will extract the Title info (located in the Title field under the Description tab from Document Properties)? I have hundreds of PDFs that I would like to be able to have extracted into some txt file or excel file. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I was working on something similar but haven't had time to fully develop it.
    My idea was to use an envelope detector (low pass filter) and then use an energy detection VI on the envelope.

  • FormsCentral-PDF

    I created a form in formscentral and now want to download it and use it as a PDF. What is the best way and options for me to do this? I understand I will have to purchase it, but once I do that, will I be able to go in and edit the form if needed through one of the other Adobe programs?

    Hi;
    With a paid subscription you can download the form as a PDF.  The only real options are to include a Submit button so that the data is still sent to the FormsCentral servers and available on the "View Responses" tab, or to save without the Submit button if you plan to have the form returned through email etc.
    A few of the features available in the online forms are not in PDF such as Attachment fields, Paypal support, and skip/page logic.
    What types of edits are you thinking about doing after saving the PDF?  You can always go back into FormsCentral and edit the form, you would want to re-save a new PDF after editing so that those changes are in the PDF you distribute as well.  If you wanted to make changes Adobe Acrobat to the PDF that is possible and I can point you to an FAQ about editing the PDF.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Need info on adobe pdf generator

    Hi,
    We are evaluvating a tool to convert word document to pdf for our prestegious client.
    Below are requirements,
    Requirement 1:
    Source- MS Word document
    Target- PDF
    1) Conversion of MS Word document to PDF through online. Here Word document content don't follow any specific layout disagn.
    User wants pdf format should be as same as Word document including font, file layout, header, footer.
    2) Target Pdf should dynamically generate content while reading  word document. i.e it has to replace <placeholders> with the data read from DB.
    3) Target Pdf should also merge some other pdf documents during conversion
    Requirement 2:
    Source- PDF
    Target- PDF
    1) User will provide PDF which has user data aswell as <placeholders>. We need to replace the <placeholders> with the data read from DB & generate PDF.
    Please let us know which adobe tool would suite better for above said requirements.
    Note: From my initial analysis  I found 'LiveCycle PDF Generator ES ' and 'LiveCycle Output ES2' are suitable to 'Requirement 1'. Please let me know your comments on this.
    Thanks,

    I've not seen a response from others, so I'll chime in.  If the answers are not in sufficient detail, I can find someone else to go to the next level.
    Requirement 1: The key thing to keep in mind is that PDF Generator is a server-based framework around word, at least for the word to PDF part of its functionality.
    1-1) Conversion of Word to PDF...  PDF Generator does this well.  Note that it will require the installation of MS Office or will use Open Office. Given your fidelity requirement, you probably want to use Office.
    1-2) The integration of dynamic data is less clear.  PDFG does not support this directly, as we use MS Office. I'm not a Word expert, but if you can pull of the dynamic content access and have the appropriate access paths available from Office as it is deployed on the server.
    31-3) Both Output and PDF Generator use a common service called Assembler for the merge. This should be an easy usecase.
    Requirement 2: Generation of PDF from a template.
    The best product for you is LiveCycle Output. It will take a template from LiveCycle designer, either static of dynamic, and create PDF at moderate volumes. I'd suggest that you look at Designer, including its template import facilities, and then consider how you can get the data for your placeholders into XML format. Output is then quite easy to do the data merge, formatting, and PDF generation.
