Rendering PDF form and invoking the process

I've seen few recent posts about rendering the form from .NET application and I was wondering if you could explain and give few more details about how to create an .NET application which will render the form with LC Forms and then invoke the process.
If you have any kind of other documentation please tell me about it...
I was reading SDK help and few livedocs, but since I do not have experience with .NET it is all a little bit confusing for me.
Once I render the PDF in my application how do I invoke the process? Is the submit button on the form enough or I have to write an a web service?

What did the errors say? Can you post a copy of the pdf so we can test out. The presets embed the font, but might be a unicode issue, or one of the few fonts which are copyrighted and do not allow embedding.
What application was the pdf was created from, what settings were used, and if you can outline the fonts. What font or font(s) are the ones reflowing?

  • Adding filename in PDF form and inserting the filename as the subject when emailing the form

    I have created a form in LiveCycle and have added 2 buttons - Save As and Submit by Email (created successfully thanks to the posts in this Forum).  Can someone please advise how I can:
    1.  Add the file name to the PDF document when the Save As button is clicked.
    2.  Use the file name as the Subject when the user clicks the Submit by Email.
    Thank you in advance for your help with this query.

    Here is a sample for your save as request.
    http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com/2009/11/save-form-to-specific-directories-and.html
    To determine the file name and use it in the subject you can use for example:
    var FileName = event.target.documentFileName;
    event.target.mailDoc({
            bUI: false,
            cTo: [email protected],
            cSubject: FileName,
            cMsg: "Bla bla bla...",
            cSubmitAs: "PDF"

  • Create a PDF Form and Email the entire form w/ responses

    I created a form in PDF and I want to e-mail the form with the responses in the fields... like a file-->send to-->mail reciepents as attachment...
    I want to e-mail the form with responses not just email the data file of the form...any suggestions..please

    I've seen a number of people report this type of behavior and have experienced it myself with Acrobat.com, but have never heard what's causing it or know of a fix. You might try the Acrobat.com forum here to see if they have any ideas.
    What's worse is when it appears as though the form submits successfully to Acrobat.com, but the data never gets added to the responses.

  • NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses

    FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
    You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
    To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
    Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
    Click to view larger image
    The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
    Click to view larger image
    The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
    Click to view larger image
    The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.
    This FAQ describes what types of PDF forms can/cannot be imported and what functionality is limited within the PDF once imported:

    I followed this process to import my PDF form.  The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral.  The link works but the web page is confusing to customers.  The message is: 
    An error has occurred.
    The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
    When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer.  I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.  
    How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page?

  • Updating a PDF form and keeping it accessible... is there an easier way?

    So I have some InDesign files that were converted to PDF files then brought into Acrobat X where they were turned into accessible forms. 
    Now edits need to be made to the content.  I've been trying to figure out what the best approach with the least amount of steps to update these accessible PDF forms.
    So I export the PDF from InDesign, then..
    Option 1:
    Open the newly created PDF and the old version of the accessible form and Copy+paste form fields from old file to new file.
    The good: Tags, Structure, hyperlinks and reading order transfers over from Indesign.
    The bad: Time consuming. Tabbing order for the fields usually needs a lot of manual adjustment. Manually have to add language, title, subject, keywords
    Option 2:
    Open old PDF form and replace the page with the new PDF file.
    The good: Fast! Form tabbing order set. Language, title, subject, keywords all good set.
    The bad: Tags, Structure, hyperlinks and reading order are gone! Manually touchup reading order, add form fields to tags (which sometimes deletes fields and crashes)
    Option 3:
    Open old PDF and use edit document text to fix little issues.
    The good: It works for small issues.
    The bad: Not an option for anything besides a typo. Can't change layout. Have to do the edit again in Indesign, or have out-of-date files.
    Anyone have a better way of doing it?
    BTW I'm using InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat X on Mac

  • How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

    OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
    How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

    OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
    p=0;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line.  Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
    Next, I tried this:
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
    What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
    Is this possible?

    What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

    I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

    If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

  • I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

    I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Steve Odem,
    If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

    Hi Community,
    I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
    Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
    E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
    If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
    E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
    There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

    hi,
    smart form to pdf--
    All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
    DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
    p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
    p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
    p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform
    EXPORTING
    output_options = p_output_options
    control_parameters = p_control_parameters
    IMPORTING
    job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
    call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
    tables
    otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata
    lines = t_pdf

  • Online php form (inserts) in pdf form and send via email

    So first hello all.
    There are 4 PDF Forms amd 4 php forms on a website.
    The user should be able to fill out the php form, click on send and the inserts from the user should be stored in the pdf form and send to an email adress.
    I know that there are 3rd party tools, the convert it to a image, draw the inserts and convert it back.
    But i want to know, how to do it with acrobat itself.
    Is there any way to put varaibles in the pdf where php can set (fill)
    If this is impossible:
    I have heard, that there is a server version from acrobat who can manage this.
    The information about this is rarly like i dont understand how much the costs are.
    First : price x (for the server software itself)   
    Second: price y (for every processed document)
    Many thanks in advance

    You cannot use Acrobat on a server in that manner. Acrobat is licensed for one user one system at a time.
    You can create and FDF file with the form field data and use that data to fill-in a PDF. You needd to create a unique PDF that could be added to an email and then deleted. You could also accumulate the data in a database.
