Print the form only when valid

Hello,
I have a PrintButton on my PDF form which activates the form validation. The print dialog appears only when the form is valid. However, users still can print the form using the File Menu or Toolbar. I tried to deny printing in the PDFSecurity tab of the Form Properties and re-enable it once the form is valid (xfa.PDFSecurity.SetAttribute("1","print")) but it does not work.
Is it possible to force the user to print only with my print-validate button? What would be the appropriate way to do that?
Thanks
Julie

Hi Johnny,
The only way that Acrobat or Reader can vouch for the integrity of the digital signature is from within the application. Once you print the file Acrobat/Reader has no way of verifying that the printed document is cryptographically sound (which is what a digital signature proves). As such, we specifically inhibit printing the signature status.
Another way to think of this is, the validity of an electonic document can only be guaranteed in the electonic environment. Once the document moves into the physical world Acrobat (or any application that processes digital signatures) has lost control.

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • When I populate a form and send to my printer, the form prints without the info I entered

    When I populate a form and send to my printer, the form prints without the info I entered. How do I fix this?

    If you use Software Update, probably got installed. If you are like me, you clone your system before any update or changes, in case something breaks.
    Windows you don't or haven't heard of? VM = virtual machine, ie a guest OS running under Mac OS (or running natively on its own partition, seeing sometimes there is software that is essential but only needed for business or once in a while). Runs just like another app (and uses an app to control the guest OS).

  • I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • I can't print the form correctly in Russian

    Hello I have paid account for FormsCentral. Some of my forms are in Russian. I can create forms, my clients can fill in the forms and I can view the responses on the screen without any problem. But when I try print response or transform in in pdf I get page without Russian letters (only ??????? symbols). Can I solve this problem?

    I can print Russian text without any problem from other apps on my computer (Word, Exel etc). Ok. I'll try from other computer once again, if you think that problem can be in my computer

    It still prints well for me from Chrome on Win XP. Are you able to print out Russian text from apps other than FormsCentral, such as MS Word, other web sites in Chrome or other browsers?
    Thanks,

  • How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

    How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?  I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings.  They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name.  I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it. 
    Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
    Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
    Thanks.

    If you reader extend  a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

  • Issue while selecting the LOCL printer for printing the form

    Hi all,
    I have created  the PO form and it is working fine.
    I am facing one strange issue.
    I am displaying the PIR text and item text in the form.
    When i do the print preview the PIR text and Item text is displayed but when i create the spool for the same PO by
    giving the printer as LOCL these text is not displayed.
    I am not getting why it is coming when i do the print preview and why it is not coming while creating the spool.
    Kindly help.

    Hi,
    You did not specified the form Type whether it is a smart form or Adobe form.
    If it is the Adobe form LOCL is not supported if the printer specified to LOCL is not supporting the PDF forms.
    Better use LP01 or any other Printer which support the PDF forms.
    Thanks.
    UmaS.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that when you are running approval workflow and opening the Excel file, then it will occur the error above.
    For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can try to create a new normal excel file and then run the workflow and open the file to test if it works. It will help to figure out if this is the file itself issue or the SharePoint issue.
    Also, please provide some more detailed information such as screen capture, it will easier to find the root cause of the issue.
    Thanks

  • Dunning Level needs to update without printing the Form

    HI,
    we have 4 level dunning, we have a requirement that when the customer reaches Level 4 dunning, The process is off the system - Meaning no Correspondance from SAP to be issued.
    Is it possible for standard SAP dunning to update the Customer Master to Level 4 without printing the form?
    We remvoved  the Dunning form associated to level 4 but when the dunning program  reaches level 4, its not updating the Customer master data with Dunning Level4. The last update on the customer master is level 3.
    Is printing dunning letter is a mandatory for the Dunning program to update the customer master data with the Dunning level?
    Has anyone got a workaround or solution for this situation.
    Thanks
    Kema

    Hi Kema,
    How you doing? Hope all good.
    Well the Customer Master update is done by the form printing program so printing form will be needed to update the customer master. The work around would be to have dummy blank form. If you are doing a fax or email then you can control the sending from user exit.
    Hope this helps.

  • Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

    Folks,
    until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
    What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
    Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
    XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
    Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
    With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
    With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • Print the form data instead of whole page

    Hello All,
    I am having a problem in my ADF/JSF page. I just want to print the form data of my form instead of the whole page.using javascript:print() method prints the whole page.so can you help me in solving this issue. I have JDev 10.1.3 and do not want to upgrade to JDev 11g!
    Is there some java code to do so?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    you can apply CSS to the page and use the media selector to deermine which components should appear in the print and which should not.
    Downlad the word document in http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/OldAndLostBlogBusterTips.zip
