Trouble with PDF FORM

Hello Adobe. We have our PDF form and are having issues with everyone being able to submit it from our website. The link is http://qualitystaffingsolution.com/test-pdf/
But after submitting it, one of our programmers can get his to go through on almost every browser but many other people who have tried it, upon clicking submit, the form does not show up in our forms central database.
Can anyone help, offer advice or have any thoughts? Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks!

Hi;
PDF in a web browser is problematic and we recommend against having the PDF set to open in the browser, we recommend that you have users download the PDF and use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF.
The problem in a browser is that you don't know what viewer may be used to view/fill the PDF and if it is not Adobe Reader it will not work.
I would recommend you post the PDF for download and alert users that they should use Adobe Reader/Acrobat to fill and submit.
Thanks,
Josh

I'm having trouble viewing PDF forms in a browser

When I go to a business site for a manual and the format is using pdf, after viewing I cannot go back to previous page using the back button or the arrow back. It keeps returning to the pdf manual I was viewing. I have to click the arrow twice or three times to return to back page and sometimes when clicking to many times it return to the beginning page. This has been happening to almost all pdf forms used by businesses or any other websites. Is there something I have tochange in settings?

Hi Snakedog777,
How frustrating! What web browser are you using? Do you run into the same troubles when viewing PDF files on other browsers? And does the problem only exist with PDF forms--or are you having trouble viewing any PDF files?
For starters, please see Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI for information about configuring your browser.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

When you tried other WDAs with PDFs, where they interactive PDFs? The reader rights are only needed for interactive PDFs.
>WebDynpro Exception: ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights(200,101).
That error message would sure to seem to point that the credentials are not accessible to the user that ADS webservice call is being made by. That would certainly seem to me to point to a configuration problem at the Basis level.

I am having trouble with a form, won't tab to 2nd page...

I am having trouble with a form I created in Acrobat Pro 10. I created tabs etc, they all work wonderfully in Adobe, but once I uploaded it onto the web-based program for other users, the tabs only work on page 1, I have to click on page 2 to keep tabbing through. It won't tab into it. Any advise? Also, when the users open it it opens in the web.

1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
FWIW
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
Alternative approach:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
I can't find a way to go back.
The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

Win7 64-bit PDF Preview works- except with PDF Forms?

I have Win7 64-bit with Adobe Acrobat X Standard installed. I receive PDFs as attachments in Outlook 2010, and for the most part, the PDF preview works fine. Downloaded PDFs that I have in a folder with the Preview Pane work fine as well. However with PDF forms, which have cells that you can manually fill in, i.e. name, hire date, etc. I receive an error "Please wait, If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document." This happens in both Outlook 2010, and the Windows Explorer preview pane panel. The attached website does not fix my issue as the registry key is correct. Any ideas? Thanks! http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/#downl

Hello NI_LV_82_User,
The DIAdem PDF output is not compatible with Windows 7 (DIAdem 11.1 was released in July 2009, Windows 7 was made available in October 2009). The DIAdem R&D department is currently working on a fix to add this functionality under Windows 7. We are working to provide a solution as soon as possible and will make the release of the Service Pack known here on the forum as soon as it is available.

More trouble with PDF folios

Hi.
I also have a trouble with PDF folios, where vertical article has 2 pages and horizontal article has 1 page.
When i set that folio horizontal swipe only, there will be one extra blank page at the horizontal article.
When there is more pages in articles (4 and 2 accordingly), there is no such artifact.

have you tried my example that I just posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173179#4173179

Trouble submitting PDF form with Web Mail

Hello,
I have a fillable PDF form that I'm trying to submit. When I submit the form through an email client (Outlook, Mail, etc.) it works perfectly. When I try to submit using the Webmail option, I get this message: "An unknown error has occurred while uploading the attachment. If you are not sure how to proceed further, you can save your form and return it manually using your Internet mail service."
I've checked the file thoroughly and everything looks correct. I'm perplexed as to why it submits just fine through an email client, but won't submit via Webmail. I've tried on a Mac and a PC and I've tried using a Yahoo account and a Gmail account with the same results. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm using Acrobat XI Pro. I don't have Reader installed on my laptop. The form is for a client who sends it out to patients to fill out, so I need it work with both mail clients and web mail. Is there a way to do that? I don't think changing that preference in my Acrobat will solve the problem, as that will just effect my Acrobat. Is there a setting I can apply to the actual document? Thank you for your response!

Trouble with PDF fonts - fields only

We're having trouble with our PDFs once the data is merged into the PDF template. All of the merged data appears cut in half in the form fields so only the top half of the letters are shown; the rest of the document is fine. We think this could be due to a font issue, but loading different fonts haven't seemed to make any difference. Could this be caused by anything besides the fonts?
Thanks!

Pdf is designed for presenting information graphically to reduce the file size. This reduction is achieved by making it an uneditable - something that comes in handy if you don't want people to alter your content.
You can (using a pdf writter) create pdf forms where information can be added in to a text field or box. However if you want to edit the content from a pdf file then you could select the text and copy and paste it in to a document like Pages or Word and then re-export when you're finished.
But I'm affraid you can't edit pdf as such - this is the case on Macs and PCs. If you need to edit documents on different platforms then you'll need to find a common editor. There's Office for Mac (student teacher versions) or you could try OpenOffice Org - it's free, works on both Macs and PCs, and will convert most Word documents provided there's not too many tables or a complex layout format.

Troubles with virutal forms

Hi!!
I'm getting troubles using virtual forms.
I have a page that has 2 DropDowns, 2 autoComplete text box, 1 button and a table with, among other controls, a button. The button in the table plays as a Delete Row button. The two autoComplete text box has validators.
I've configured two virtual forms: 1 - Including the Agregar (add) button and the two autocomplete, and 2 - A virtual form including the Borrar (delete) button.
When I click the Borrar button, I get the Required Value validation error message on the two autoComplete text boxes.
What I'm doing wrong??

I do see the same delay, which is why I never edit forms on a Mac. The screen does multiple redraws whenever I open into edit mode, and when an item is added/removed/resized/relocated. It is impossible to get anything done in the Mac version imho, this does not seem to be an issue on PC (at least, not to me).
I also keep older versions around - I almost never use Acrobat X. The interface is horrible (I liken it to Microsoft's switch to the 'Ribbon' in Office) I will agree that it takes a lot longer to do anything (I had to make changes that required me to constantly switch back and forth between different tabs on the sidebar instead of being able to select a single menu item). About the only thing in Acrobat which hasn't been a huge step backwards over the various versions is the Javascript editor (and that's only because they couldn't have made it any worse to begin with!)
I will say this, though - with all of the issues in Acrobat/PDF forms, at least it isn't Microsoft Word. I am forced to work on several forms in Word, and I can tell you that experience is excruciating.

Help with PDF form responses

Hey there!
I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
#1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
#2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms

I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help?

Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

Using XML files created with PDF form in Excel

I have returned survey XML files created by a survey form using Lifecycle Designer. Have been unsuccessful in the importing of multiple XML files into Excel as a 2nd file just overlays the 1st file's data.
I have been reading a number of posts that most likely tells me that sending the PDF survey form out via e-mail and getting the returned XML file back via e-mail was not the best way to do it. Unfortunately it is what I have to deal with now, so two questions I have:
1. Is there a known method for importing all of these XML files into any Office program more easily than what I have been dealing with, and
2. What method would be best used if I have surveys to send out but have no web server or any other tool other than my local software on my PC for collecting and compiling the returned data?

Are you clicking the Send Email button while previewing the pdf form?
-> If yes, have you specified preview data on Form Properties panel?
-> If yes, does your form contain Table or repeatable subforms?
If all the above point are true, you will get multiple data in your xml.
