Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

Hi,
We have an "Ideas" page where you can add or vote on feature ideas:

How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

Hi,
I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
trena.c

If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
View your collections, add a new one.
Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
Hope this helps.

Hi @kitesquid,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
Hope to hear from you soon!

How do I save a word pdf file to png file for up load onto FB

how do I save a word pdf file to png file for up load onto FB

What is a Word PDF file? There are Word files and there are PDF files. What does your question have to do with Boot Camp, the subject of this discussion group?

I have a user on Adobe Reader X. whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

Single user is not able to print PDF files.

I have the following situation at our organisation for one of our users.
Printer:
Kyocera FS1030D
Kyocera KM-C3225
I have one user that is not able to print any PDF files in our network. (User Chris)
Printing a Word document or Notepad works fine.
To be specific:
The user is mainly using Windows 7 Pro 64 bits.
We also have a Citrix environment.
When this user is trying to print a PDF file we follow the following steps:
Open any PDF file.
Go to: File -> Print -> Select the printer to use.
Hit Print button.
Now the pop up comes up loading the PDF file to be printed. (The percentage bar)
After this bar disappears nothing happens.
The print que does not show on the bottom right hand of the screen.
If you open the printer que there is no document that needs to be printed.
We tested printing a PDF file on a different computer with user account Chris, but no success.
We tested printing a PDF file on the same computer with another user account, success.
We tested printing a PDF file in our Citrix environment (still on Chris his pc), success.
So as a wrap up: Printing with another user account works fine. The issue seems to be located in the user profile, but is not specific to a single computer.
We tested the following.
Print as Image setting.
Remove the print drivers and reinstalled them.
Renamed the Windows folders where the drivers are installed.
Removed Adobe Acrobat version 9 and installed version 10.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked and the current installed version is 10.1.4. I tried updating but I get the message that the there are no new updates available.
Also I tried to find a 64 bits download but unfortunately I cannot find a 64 Bits install file.

Problems importing PDF file to Forms Central

I am trying to import a PDF file to Form Central, last week the file imported fine, we had to make some corections, and now when I try to import the file I get this response
FormsCentral could not import the PDF form because it has more than 500 form fields.
can someone enlighten me on this, I did not add any more fields, I just adjusted the tabs and labeled the form fields.
Thanks New

Thanks Josh...that's what I ended-up having to do. The problem is this will now produce two separate responses. I now have to devise a way to track/connect submissions from part A & part B (i.e, by adding a reference ID to both forms), otherwise we wouldn't know which data applies to which responses - considering the applications will now be submitted at different times vs as a whole. Just another setback with Form Central.
The other issue is with Form Central reordering certain fields in the Response table. My field names and tab order set in Acrobat are 100% in sequence - in terms of the names in the tab order panel matching the actual placement of the fields on the page. When I upload/import the PDF to Form Central, certain fields are placed out of order and I have to scroll through "miles" of headers just to find the misplaced field to manually reorder it. Is there any progress in having this issue resolved in Form Central? I have no idea what Form Central is reading when it imports the PDF, because it doesn't appear to looking at the form structure in terms of the tab order.
Also, will the 500 field max ever get increased?
i think Form Central offers a good solution for being able to submit data but these quirks are casting a shadow on the brand.

Opening .pdf files from forms using OLE

Hi,
I want to open, print , save and save as pdf files from forms using OLE . Please help me with the same.
Thanks
Vidya

If you are in client/server mode, you can put an OLE container component on your form. However, be warned that this method does not work when you convert to the forms server web enabled mode. If you anticipate moving your application to the web anytime soon, my advice would be to web-enable first and then add in the feature to view .pdf (or other) files. In our client/server app, I went to a lot of trouble to add in OLE features such as you describe, and now I have to completely re-write those features for the web.

Accessible PDF files and forms

I am beside myself with the lack of help and/or interest in the Accessiblity area. We have been mandated to make all our PDF files accessible on our Web site. We have been able to master many of the issues regarding tags and form fields, but still have questions regarding updating the original PDFs without loosing the tag structure.
Is there any options on the Adobe site that may concentrate on this area? I called tech support yesterday (Bronze contract), was on hold for 10 mins and got disconnected. After leaving my number, they never called me back again.
HELP

The point was not having to create the tags again in a new file before
replacing the pages containing the form fields in the old file. We have
many forms that get updated right up to the last minute and to go through
the tagging process is too time consuming. We do not use PDF Maker, but
produce all the PDFs directly out of InDesignCS3 to Adobe Acrobat
Professional (Distiller).
Thanks for your reply.

Accessible PDF files and forms
I am really suggesting replacing all of the pages. I was thinking that the
tag structure would go with the replacement and you would need to create
the other PDF with PDF Maker to keep the tagging. I may be wrong, but that
was the view I had. If you replace a single page, I am not sure what might
happen since that would generally not be done with PDF Maker.
Since you already have the application process going, it is probably
easiest for you to try the variations on replacing pages and such --
basically what I would be doing.

Want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website

want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website. want those files to be live on that page when their upload is complete. this is so I dont have to receive their file and upload it myself.
appreaciate the help.

Everything you have described can be done using PHP (assuming your website is on an apache server). There are three separate "sub-projects" to your overall project:
1. Log-in system. Secrity is an issue here. There are several ways to accomplish this.
2. File upload routine.
3. Display of directory contents in a dynamic webpage.
Fortunately, each of these tasks is explained in the book PHP Solutions, by David Powers. It even presents several different methods for handling the log-in password routine and security. Since your project doesn't require a database, you will want to choose a password storage method that doesn't require one.
The way I would handle this is to create a directory for each client. Maybe the directory name will be the client's ID, like 27, 28, etc. Then the upload routine will use a varible based on the client id, so it will put the right client's files in the right directory.
Overall, this is not a very difficult project, especially if you get the Power's book and read through the appropriate chapters.

Save response as PDF, excluding the hidden fields

I have recently created a new form, which contains a number of fields which are only shown dependent on rules.
This all works as it should from the users POV, however, when saving the response as PDF, the document contains ALL the fields which are on the original form design.
Is there any way of saving the form as PDF, but excluding the fields that the user didn't even know were there? A properly completed form should cover at most 2 pages, however, because of the additional fields, each one is coming back as 8-9 pages long.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carl

Unable to Save Responses As PDF

We have several users that have access to view responses to our Adobe formcentral forms, lately we are having issues with saving the responses as a PDF. We are accessing formcentral via IE (we have tried alternative browsers and doesn't seem to matter), and it happens to different users at different times during the day.
When we are in the respective account and try to download the response as a PDF (doesn't matter whether we use the arrow to the right of the row, or the save as PDF feature at the top) sometimes the sytem gets stuck on the spinning clock. Is this a formcentral server tie up or is it on our end? Anyone else experience this? Do we need to clean out old responses?
It seems to work sporadically, we are now stuck with using the "view details" feature to see our form responses and print them out that way but we would like to be able to use the download as PDF feature like we used to do. This issue has been going on for about a month on and off and seems to be worse now. We have tried to contact someone through the Formcentral support (No.: 0185350898) and they gave us a "FIXITWIN" file that did not resolve the proplem. We have one user that tried to download the desktop formcentral client to see if it would work through that method instead of through the browser and that did not make any difference. We have had our IT support check this issue out at one station and he's unable to determine what could be the problem and seems to think it's on formcentral's end.
Please help.

Yes I've tried to download them via the method you indicated and also by using the save as PDF feature button, once we get stuck with the spinning clock, we have to completely close out of formcentral and log back in to attempt the whole proces again. Unfortunately it is not linked to a specific form, we have several forms, all which were once working properly and now are encountering this issue. Again, this incident is not tied to any particular form, it sometimes works and sometimes it gets stuck, and I can't seem to pinpoint any pattern to a specific time of day (we thought maybe it was a many users accessing the forms at the same time).
This morning I attempted to download responses from several forms and was successful, however, when I had another user try they were unsuccessful. I just attempted it on one of my forms and no luck. Is there a capacity limit? We have some forms with over 300 responses.

Information is missing when I save responses as PDF forms

When I save a response as PDF, I only get 3 pages from the filled in response. While it should be 9 pages. One of the tables doe not continue on the next page. How can download the response exactly in the format form the design? Now I'm missing to much information.

Hi Emma;
I am pretty sure that what you need to do for all of the content to fit properly in PDF is to use the "Page View" setting/mode on the Design tab (default view is "Web View" for web forms) and edit the content in that view to "fit". The "Page View" view mode is to design/tweak the form to work in PDF, the changes made in "Web View" are still there including all features not supported in a PDF, but any Page Breaks added in either view are unique to that view, if you add a Page Break in Web View you will not see that in the PDF or Page View, if you add a Page Break in Page View it is only used in the PDF.
If you were to have used the "Save Submission Enabled PDF" button on the Distribute tab you would have seen an error that the content does not fit and it would have taken you into "Page View" on the Design tab where it would show you the content that would be cropped in a PDF. We'll address the issue that this error does not come up when saving the response as a PDF form.
The view drop down selector is in the bottom right corner in the Design tab:
There are a few things you can do in Page View to get the content to work in PDF but not change the HTML/web form too much. You can of course add page breaks, and you can break up large form fields, but you can also simply change the font size to get things to fit sometimes, or go into "File" - "Form Setup" and change the page size which will only affect the PDF and not the web form, a larger page will fit more content.
Hopefully this helps but let me know if this was not the solution to your form.
Thanks,
Josh

How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

Hi,
I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
dinamically.
this is the code i am trying to save by default
protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
// this returns pdf byte array
byte ios[] = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
// reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
String docName = reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;
// here docName would be like "RP_COM_COLL_01_Message_Details_03_09_2008_to_03_09_2008"
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + docName ) ;
bos.write (ios);
bos.flush ();
}the above code produces pdf in browser when calling this URL
http://localhost:8080/DAD01TN0801027/RWReportServlet
In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
1. File -> Save As
2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
Can any one help me please
Regards
Sakthivel.

That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.
