Saving Form Material in Preview

I am using a pdf New York State tax form that does not save changes. Is there a work-around in Preview? The problem with Preview also is that it does not allow typing in all the fields that Acrobat does--mainly the boxes that one checks.

CUPS-PDF will add a virtual printer that will generate a PDF file with the changes intact. It will also work with Adobe Reader (which does not normally alow Print to PDF).

Only able to view entered info. on PDF form when I preview it?

I was almost finished completing a 127 page form and when I went to open it today I was unable to view all of the information I have entered. The info. is no doubt there because I can view everything I've entered when I preview it but once I open the document completely I can't view anything, even if I click on the box. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think that's the problem because I just reloaded the original form and typed in a few entries and was able to view my info. I just submitted another question as I think the problem may be that the file has a lock icon but I have no idea how I locked it. Below is my entry. Any help would be appreciated!
PDF form has lock icon and I'm unable to view my information entered

I've been working on a 127 page pdf form for a couple of weeks and have saved all of my information multiple times. I recently opened the document to complete the form(I literally had 2 entries left) and I am unable to view any of the information I've entered. The information is no doubt still there because the original form is 7mb, and my saved form is 7.26mb. I am also able to see all of my information when I preview the document by opening the my documents window and clicking once to preview the form in the same window, however can not see any of my information when I attempt to edit it and open the form completely. I am using a PC, windows 7. I'm assuming I can't view my info. because I somehow locked it but I am not asked for a password when I open it. I recently downloaded the original form again and typed in info. and there is no lock icon when I save it under a different name and I'm able to view the info. entered. I have no idea how I locked the form or if this is the reason I can't view the info. when I open the documetn completely. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Help reqd to display the form without print preview call

Hi all,
I did one gate pass form and i want to view the form in my selection screen or output screen(just in monitor) as a display by giving one Z-code.
i.e, we can view the form thru Print preview...the same preview, i want to display after i give my parameter in the selection screen.
For example.ZGPOUT if i enter as a t-code.

How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

When saving to PDF in Preview . . .

When saving to PDF in Preview, how can I eliminate the borders that are automatically added? Thanks.

Here's the screenshot. Note the white border. Another party has pointed out that the way to fix it is to create a custom paper size (Print Dialog --> Paper size --> Manage custom sizes --> set up a custom 8.5 x 11 page with zero borders all around.). It works! H/T to Kirk Slowe.

Saving forms takes long time.

Hi,
I our system we foud that, when many users are working - saving form (from both web interface and smartview) in one of our planning app takes a long time (over 10 minutes).
When there are few users working it takes only few seconds.
What can be done to increase planning performance in situations like this?
Best regards,
Greg

I did mention on a question you posted in the ODI forum

Not good stats.... 41 unresolved questions which I doubt is true.

Offline scenario - post data from saved form to SQLServer

This is the scenario am struggling to develop. User downloads the interactive form. Goes offline. I mean no connection to the Web Application Server. But he will have access to a SQLServer database (it may be on his machine or in his intranet). He will fill the form and save it on his local hard disk. Now, I want his saved form data to be posted to the SQLServer. I thought about a couple of ways to do this.
1) Is it possible to change the control type of 'Submit' button to submit and then in the URL field, call some ASP page (this page is deployed on a local IIS) and then submit the form fields to that ASP page which takes care of database connection, posting etc. So user downloads form only once. But fills it with different data each time and clicks submit. First of all, will submit button work when the form is not opened in web browser? I mean when it is saved on a local hard disk opened in a standalone Adobe Reader?
2) Is it possible to write some java program using any APIs and extract the data from the form saved on local hard disk? It may be possible because I have the .xdp file for the form. But I dont know if there are some APIs available to do the same.
Any inputs whether these ideas are feasible? Any other new ideas are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi Narayana,
if you want to export xml data from Reader to local disk you can use a command:
xfa.host.exportData("",0);
It works like from menu Export data from Forms.
To your second post:
Yes, you can save form in Adobe Live cycle designer as pdf and you can open it in Adobe Reader and test it. It will work.
In tab Submit for your button set these properties:
Submit Format: XML Data (XML)
Submit to URL: url of your page
Encoding: UTF8
Here is a sample code in c# for asp.net. Insert method save to your asp.net page and call it from method Page_Load.
          using System;
          using System.IO;

Regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview issues

Hi,
I have couple of issues regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview.
In my program i am passing below parameters to smart form function module:
t_control-device = c_printer.
t_control-no_dialog = space.
t_control-preview = space.
t_control-no_dialog = c_x.
t_output-tddest = g_spld.
t_output-tdimmed = c_x. " Print Immediately
t_output-tddelete = space. " Don't Release spool after output
g_user_settings = c_x.
Issue#1: Though i have set preview paramter to space, after executing program it is prompting for Preview Screen, There again i have to give printer name though i am passing printer name as above and i need to hit on print preview button to set Layout output.
Here how can i go directly to layout output without preview screen.
Issue#2: In some cases we need to Print the layout set output after executing program immediately without prompting for preview screen and then Layout set output should also be shown after printing the output.
How can i solve these issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
In the SAP menu screen goto System->User Profile->Own data
There in the defaults tab, for the output device give the value you had maintained for g_spld. This will not prompt you a dialog screen, and if you want to print immediately select the checkbox as well. Then try to execute the smartform. Hope this solves ur issue.

Help with add cover art by saving a file as preview.jpg

I need help. Im new to mac and have all my movie files on my external drive. I found out how to make an alias folder and it works great in Front Row. But when I look at the movie in Front Row. All I see is a blue folder. I read another post stating that it can be done and this is what I got,
Front Row in Leopard supports playing VIDEO_TS folders. You can also add cover art by saving a file as preview.jpg in the parent directory. The folder structure would be like the following.
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
But how do I save it this way? Thanks guys and girls!

!!! But how do I save it this way? Thanks guys and girls!
That other post looks like one I wrote. I am note sure what you are stuck on, except perhaps you are not using VIDEO_TS folders.
The normal location for Front Row to look for movies is /Users/yourname/Movies in that movies folder you can put either movie files, or folders containing movie files, or aliases to folders containing movie files (which might via the alias be on another hard drive).
If you are using video files e.g. an AVI, or MPG, or MOV then these normally should be added in to iTunes and Front Row can access them via the iTunes library. iTunes will then let you set a 'poster' frame for the movie.
If the movie is a full VIDEO_TS (i.e. a copy of a DVD) then you cannot add these to iTunes and you cannot set a poster frame. Therefore Front Row which in Leopard now supports playing VIDEO_TS folders has provided another mechanism to provide a poster for each VIDEO_TS movie, which is the previously mentioned preview.jpg file.
This literally is just a standard JPG file, I get most of mine from Amazon.com to match the DVD covers, but some people prefer using movie posters rather than DVD covers, and in that case you could try getting a suitable JPG from http://www.impawards.com/
So, in /Users/yourname/Movies you would either create a folder for each movie (VIDEO_TS) like the following
/Users/yourname/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/
/Users/yourname/Movies/Soylent Green/
/Users/yourname/Movies/Forbidden Planet/
or you would put an alias in Movies to a folder on another drive containing individual folders for each movie, I will use italics to represent an alias
/Users/yourname/Movies/MovieDrive/
MovieDrive would then contain folders for each movie
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/
Each movie folder e.g. "The Day the Earth Stood Still" would contain firstly a JPG file called "preview.jpg" which would be your poster or DVD cover image, and also the VIDEO_TS folder which is a copy of the DVD.
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/VIDEO_TS/
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/VIDEO_TS/
Note: VIDEO_TS is the standard folder name used on DVDs and you have to keep that name so that Front Row know it is from a DVD and therefore how to play it, however in order to let Front Row list them under individual names you put the VIDEO_TS folder inside a folder which would be the Movie name, as shown above.
In Front Row you would select "Movies" this lists the contents of
/Users/yourname/Movies
If you have put an alias in Movies it would list this as a folder which in Front Row you would select. Front Row would then list all the movie folders you have created and it would automatically see the preview.jpg files and VIDEO_TS folders in each movie folder you have created. Front Row would then know to display as a poster the preview.jpg when you highlight each movie folder.

PDF form filled in Preview does not display correctly in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

I recently received a PDF form from my bank, and filled in the fields and affixed my signature. Saved the form. The recipeint of the form opened the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the fields don't display the filled in form, unless you click in the field. After you click out of the field, the entry disappears. When you print the form from Reader or Acrobat, the fields are blank, but the signature prints.
Before saving the form from Preview, the fields appear normally in Reader/Acrobat.
Running Lion 10.7 and Preview 5.5.
Anyone else have this happen?

I've since found out that there is somewhat of a "fix" that addresses a way to see the form entries in Acrobat, but doesn't resolve the problem the Preview creates. There is a script available on the Adobe forum that can be installed into Adobe Acrobat: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html. The link and also explains the problem which should really be addressed by Apple. After installation, it will appear in the Edit menu of Acrobat. Once you open a Preview form, selecting "Fix Field Appearances" will repair the form so that the entries are visible.
Preview will still create bad forms, but this script will allow them to be visible in Acrobat. Unfortunately if you're sending a form to someone, there's no way to know if the recipient is using Preview or Acrobat and whether they even know about the problem. So you would have to create the form in Preview, open it in Acrobat, fix the field appearances and re-save. So it's not really a fix, just a work-around. Still don't use Preview for this reason.
I don't know if the script works with Adobe Reader, there's no mention that it does or doesn't in the forum entry.

Form guide's preview PDF button not visible in Firefox

Don't know if this is a silly question but when I preview form guides in Firefox then the 4 top-right buttons (including Show/Hide PDF) doesn't appear. I have confirmed that I selected the "Include PDF preview" option. In IE everything works fine, so I'm assuming it has something to do with Active X.
I did have a look at the generated html, but couldn't really get much wiser. Any ideas?

Hi Vijay,
Goto:
Universal Worklist Content Configuration -> Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions
In the table under the "Current Configurations" tab, select the standard travel configuration provided by SAP -> "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra".
Here, search for the code of the task for which everything is working fine; in our case it was TS20000118. Copy this piece of code.
Now download the currently active XML configuration. In the saved XML file, search for the task code which is not working as expected. Replace this piece of code with the code copied in the above step. Save with a different name.
Upload this new configuration with HIgh priority.
Reregister the connector and clear the cache.
These steps solved my problem. Probably it should work for you too.
Regards,
Shashank
