Scan form with text, lines, boxes

I need to scan a form which has lines, boxes and text.  Then I need to enter data into the scanned document.  I don't seem to be able to find the correct method needed to meet my needs.
Thanks a mil for any help,  Uncle Dewey

Hi,
You have to fill out by hand using a pen or you need a good OCR software to be able to do that. A good OCR software will allow you scan to editable document and you can use computer to fill out the form. Many printers now do not have this luxury but if you wish, please try:

  • I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

    How can I distribute a form with text boxes so that the recipients are able to type into the boxes?

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms

  • IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

    Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
    Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Fill in pdf form with text

    recieved a pdf form and need to fill in the lines with text
    using acrobat pro9 mac

    Is it a fill in form (if so, then you should get an i-bar as you move over the fields)? Are you filling it out in Acrobat or the MAC preview? The latter has problems with PDF forms and should not generally be used for this need.
    If there are no form fields (not fillable), then you will either have to add form fields yourself (maybe the MAC version has the recognize fields feature of the PC version -- assuming the form is actually text and not just a picture). The other option is to use the Typewriter tool.

  • PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

    I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
    Should I post this in the PDF forums?

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance

  • Problem with Text Entry BoX in Adobe Captivate 6

    I could not enter correct responses for my text entry box. Plus, the "success" and " failure" options were greyed out for me under properties>options.
    I notice my icon is IAB for text entry box, whereas some users have a placeholder sign for the icon.

    This is very strange, even when not validated you should have at least the Success option in the Properties panel. If it is not validated you are left only with the Success event, that can fire an action when the Submit button for the TEB is pressed (or the shortcut key is used). You cannot be working on a master slide, because it is not possible to insert a TEB there. Please, post a screenshot of the stage with the properties panel, actions accordion.

    Hi,
    why don't you create a simple scenario to export B1 Sales Order to XML File?
    Maintain the SalesOrder via B1 client UI and check the result in XML as exported to file.
    In the Sales Order xml file you can easily see how "AfterLineNumber" needs to be filled in segment "Document_SpecialLines" to achieve what you've entered via B1 client.
    Normally the LineNum for B1 Documents starts counting with 0 and if you need to add a subtotal line after a regular item row, the "AfterLineNumber" value should be 0.
    Best regards
    Bastian

  • Checkbox appears with text behind box in FORM

    Hello,
    i created a master detail page where i can also edit the master through a form (all on the same page). The check boxes in the reports are fine but in the form (to edit the master) the box appears with a text behind the box: Eigen Fust ?      " id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />
    So "Eigen Fust ?" is the label i set for the check box then the actual check box appears and after that the text i do not know where it is from (" id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />).
    The "P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" is the NAME of the form item i have for the check box.
    This is the LOV i set for the check box item:
    Select NULL d, HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,IND_EIGEN_FUST,DECODE(IND_EIGEN_FUST,'Y','CHECKED','N','UNCHECKED')) r
    From KOOPOVEREENKOMSTEN
    Where id = :P19_ID
    Please can someone tell me why the text is placed behind the checkbox ?
    Regards Doenja

    No it is not the label that is shown there.
    The label is before the checkbox 'EIGEN FUST ?'.
    In the string that is shown behind the box the ITEM NAME from the checkbox in the form is shown. So it says : " id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />
    and there P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST is the ITEM FORM name from the check box.
    I really do not unserstand where that string is coming from.
    Has someone any other idea ?

  • I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

    For example:
    Combo box choices:
    apple
    tomato
    squash
    Pumpkin
    The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
    Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
    Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
    Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
    Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
    I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer.  Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

    Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
    event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

  • Can someone help me in building an interactive PDF form with dynamic bounding box?

    Hi Guys,
    I need to create an interactive PDF form which will contain images, text and fields.
    This is how it would be laid out:
    Header Image at the top.
    Below that a Text Box with a question "Choose the number of licenses" and a drop down option from 1 to 10.
    Depending on what they select, I need the following to be displayed.
    The following should be encapsuled by a bounding box.
    If "1" is selected. "Username: <blank field>    Password: <blank field>
    Then a button which says "Click Here To Login To Your New Account".
    The bounding box should end here.. and I have more text and images below.
    This I could achieve! But now if I select "2" I would need the bounding box to automatically become taller to accommodate two rows with "Username <blank> Password <blank>
    The bounding box needs to expand or contract based on the number selected in the drop down.
    Would love to here your thoughts on this!
    Cheers,
    Rajiv

    If you were to look at the spec for PDF, you'd see that that is probably not possible with a PDF file.
    But, I encourage you to ask this question in the Acrobat PDF Forms forum where the forms experts reside, and perhaps they could suggest an answer. JavaScript can be used, and perhaps that's the answer:

  • Form with text moving in between form fields

    I am researching if this is even possible.
    I have this sentence:  My name is FORM FIELD and I am your FORM FIELD.  Is it possible to make the 'and I am your' flow with the form fields but cannot be edited?
    Thank you!
    tbrooks210

    Not unless that text is also included in a form field (either the same one,
    or a different one), and it would require quite a bit of scripting to
    achieve it.

  • XSL Stylesheet for Form with TEXT AREA not responding to DATASRC or DATAFLD

    I have a stylesheet for Form which displays data in the input boxes for edit and re submit.
    While all input text boxes show data from the database, TextArea box does not display the value for edit
    <div align="left">
    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
    width="600">
    <tr>
    <td width="600" height="1">
    <font face="Arial" size="2">17. Describe how
    the accident or exposure
    happened</font>
    <textarea rows="3"
    name="P_ACCD_TXT"
    datafld="{ACCD_TXT}"
    onblur="javascript:while(''+this.value.charAt(0)==' ')this.value=this.value.substring(1,this.value.length);"
    cols="72">
    </textarea>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
    In other input boxes value="{column_name}" works, but value attribute is not available for textarea. both datasrc="{ACCD_TXT}" and datafld="{ACCD_TXT}" do not work.
    Is it because datsrc and datafld are not supported. Would very much appreciate if some one can clarify on tthis and advise how to go about retreiving data into textarea box
    Thanks

    datasrc and datafld are Microsoft IE specific "data binding" attributes that are supported in the MS IE5 implementation of HTML.
    What you likely want is just the standard HTML way of putting data into a <textarea> that you would do in XSLT like this:
    <textarea>
    <xsl:value-of select="ACCD_TXT"/>
    </textarea>assuming that the current node has a child element named <ACCD_TXT> in the source document.

  • How do I create a form with text fields that can continue to multiple pages with out it over lapping

    I have created a form in Livecycle and have made every object a sub field. But I am still having the same probably. The text field only continues on to a second page and overlaps the footer I have created at the bottom of the page. I am new to livecycle and have tried a lot of different things to fix this problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've found this blog http://blogs.uoregon.edu/developments/2010/12/29/pdf-making-text-fields-grow-to-accommodat e-text/ and this example file : flowableTest.pdf? Is it close to what you search? I cannot go deeper into example now, but will.

  • Need to know how to merge interactive form with text page pdf

    I have an interactive pdf form, I need to merge this with another pdf page which is not a form. Kindly advice how I can do so using Adobe livecycle or acrobat pro X.
    Regards,
    Pooja

    Hi Pooja,
    How is your Interactive PDF form is created(LC Designer or Acrobat X). If you used LC Designer then you cannot merge the page, the only option is to create a new page in designer and copy and paste the content.
    If you used acrobat to create the Form then you easily merge the PDFs using combine feature in Acrobat.( File> Create> Combine files)
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.
