Trying to create a customized PDF form to save and re-use

Hi,
New to this program. I have created a "fill-in-the-blanks" PDF form and have saved it. But now when I print the form, there are characters in the beginning of the text boxes. They are T and E. I don't understand why she characters are there and how do I get rid of them. We want this form to fill in the blanks format, then we want to be able to save it, and go on to the next one. In other words we will be re-using this format over and over again. Can someone help me? I am frustrated as I am almost there. Plus I downloaded a 30 day trial of Adobe Pro 9 to see if I could do this.....so I don't know if I will need to buy this program or not. Thanks.

I don't want to post this form. I've attached it here for you to look at. I think I created it using forms.

How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email. As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business. Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly.
Thank you in advance,
~Kara

Yes, this is the page that the pdf is on. It's the link that says "Online Ordering Form."

Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6). I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form." What's wrong? (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now). It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document). Please, someone, anyone, help! I think I got a bad batch of software here. Any suggestions? If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case? Is this software under warranty?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your email. The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file. It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time. I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file. I tried to repairing the software but it does not help. Any other suggestions? Is this version of software defective? I really need this feature. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the form. My form is created in InDesign cs6 and exported to interactive PDF with text fields. any one has some tips to deal wiith this?

Did you get this resolved? I am doing the same thing, passing in a url to the submitForm method via cURL. I am submitting as FDF, and specifying the #FDF at end of URL.
Currently working against a localhost url, which is allowed and trusted in acrobat to rule out the enhanced security of the reader.
Any ideas?

Need to create a online pdf form filler

hi, not quite sure how to achieve this or which product to use.
im trying to create an online web form for users to fill out and print (but to prohibit them from saving to their pc).
i need to embed it somehow on a webpage and not as a link, something similar to this service:
https://www.pdffiller.com/edit.php?id=475533
thanks

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply,
actually the site uses flash to present the form for filling. i tried building such a form using flash but its too complicated, im sure there is a much easier way.
say i create a editable form using Acrobat Pro, how would i go about embedding it into the webpage ? and allowing for it to be printed but not saved (the flash solution wrapps the form in a flash file therefor not allowing for a user to save it as a PDF file.
is there a way to do this ?
(im not quite sure why the link i sent is password protected, can't you access it ? http://www.pdffiller.com/index.php - take alook at their service)
here is another example of how i would like it to look

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.

I am also unalbe to find a form reset button to add to my form. How can I create a from with these features. The form I want to make it fillable PDf to emailed to customers.
thanks.

Hi;
Re: Help Icon - The PDF does not display the "?" like the web form. In the PDF when you mouse over the field and hover for 1-2 seconds the help text is shown in a tooltip.
Re: Form Reset button (Clear Form) - FormsCentral does not provide a clear form button but you can add it in Acrobat. You will want to open the PDF in Acrobat and then follow these two tutorials:
In order to Edit the FormsCentral PDF in Acrobat you will need to read this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
This tutorial shows you how to add the "Clear" button to the form: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/quick-tip-how-to-add-a-reset-button-to-a-f orm/
Are you planning save the form as a "Submission Enabled PDF" and collect responses using FormsCentral? If you are not, and simply want the responses or PDF emailed back to you on submission you can see this tutorial: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7dd6.w .html

Build failed when trying to create a custom Android viewer

I am experiencing the same issue, I get the : 'build failed. try again later' without any further information, when trying to create a custom viewer for android. Is this caused by server overloads or are there some things to check?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you

hey Bob,
I did not before as I was assigned a mac that had everything running (untill now ), but to be sure I followed the steps just now using the keytool in terminal but looks like this is not making any differance.
also, I can see the previous apps listed showing the download apk option, I have not been prompted for a certificate yet, where in iOS apps you are asked for it on save before the build starts and when you download the zip again if I'm not mistaking.
Right now I always get the build faild error, try again later when I save the last step in the viewer creation process.

Trying to create a custom layout.

Hello. I am trying to create a custom layout. The
format I'm going for is three rows, with the top and
bottom row being comprised of three columns each. IE:
| X | X | X |
|     X     |
| X | X | X |
-------------I have written a corresponding .html.txt file for my
intended layout and it looks correct. However, the
actual layout file's end results looks like a horizontal
flow layout with line wrapping after every third column.
IE:
|     X     | X | X |
|     X     | X | X |
|     X     |
-------------The code I have created is as follows. Thanks for your
time and assistance.

If not, create a skeleton file with cutom prepended to the layout name. And here , just go with any HTML-Table based layout you want. The portal designer may not pick it up , but when its rendered, the layout turns up fine.
HOpe this helps.
If u need more help , lemme know,

How to create a report in Form line Style and can display Image field?

Hi,
In Report builder 10g, I would like to create a Report with Form Line Style and this report included a Image field.
I can choose this Style only when Select Report type is Paper Layout. Because, If I choose Create both Web & Paper Layout or Create Web Layout only then in the next Style tab 03 option Form, Form letter and Mailing Label be Disabled.
But in Paper Layout, my report can not display Image field.
I tried with Web layout and all the other Styles (Except 03 mentioned be Disabled) then all Styles are displayed Imager field OK.

Here you go..Just follow these steps blindly and you are done.
1) Create a year prompt with presentation variable as pv_year
2) Create a report say Mid report with year column selected 3 times
- Put a filter of pv_year presentation variable on first year column with a default value say @{pv_year}{2008}
- Rename the second time column say YEAR+1 and change the fx to CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)+1
- Rename the second time column say YEAR-1 and change the fx to CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)-1
Now when you will run Mid Report, this will give you a records with value as 2008 2009 2007
3) Create your main report with criteria as Year and Measure col
- Change the fx for year column as CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)
- Now put a filter on year column with Filter based on results of another request and select these:
Relationship = greater than or equal to any
Saved Request = Browse Mid Report
Use values in Column = YEAR-1
- Again,put a filter on year column with Filter based on results of another request and select these:
Relationship = less than or equal to any
Saved Request = Browse Mid Report (incase it doesn't allow you to select then select any other request first and then select Mid Report)
Use values in Column = YEAR+1
This will select Year > = 2007 AND Year < = 2009. Hence the results will be for year 2007,2008,2009
This will 100% work...

PDF Forms in Chrome and FireFox?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

How do I save and re-use a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form i will use for multiple medcial clients I see, then print out and put in paper chart, and then do it again for another patient. - I just got Acrobat XI

I've created a fillable form from a Word document, but how do I save and re-use a a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form I will use for multiple medical patients, printing out the filled in form to put in paper chart (no need to save filled out form), and then fill blank form again for another patient? - I just got acrobat X

Thanks!
That should also save the blank form for future re-use, right.?
Can I also file the blank form in the file system, and then retrieve it as a blank form when I have a next patient need for it?
Thanks
Michael
