Typing on pdf file forms
Can anyone tell me how to fill out a PDF form or what soft ware I need to purchase to fill in personal info on a form? Thanks andi
For an application, you would need (the expensive) Adobe Acrobat. Of course Adobe Acrobat Reader is freeware.
It is possible to make a pdf form that allows a user to fill in information, but apparently the form you has doesn't have that format.
Cheers, Tom

I have downloaded a few PDF files from some university sites.
They have the usual items like "Name," "Address," etc. but I
do not know how to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to type into the
blank. May someone help me on this problem?
Thanks in advance.Hello Adobe,
I've just signed up for Acrobat.com. Very impressive first
impressions... looks great. However I was expecting the ability for
people to view comments and add their own comments to PDFs that I
have uploaded.
Will this functionality be added ?
Also – the “send us feedback” link does not
have an email address! (it just has "Acrobat.com feedback" in the
To: field) -
I was wondering if there is anyway to type on a pdf file? I am filling out applications for a job. Thanks! KD
In Preview, you can use Annotate in the Tools menu. It will take a little experimentation to figure it out, but it will work.
There is other software that will do it, perhaps more easily. -
Hello. Can I still use the forms central to modify my pdf.-files after the software is not supported by adope?
Formscentral isn't designed to allow for the modification of PDF files, forms or otherwise. If you have saved forms created in Formscentral as PDF you will continue to be able to modify them in a program like Acrobat. Hope this helps.

Cannot Print PDF Files on Reader 9.4.0!
I recently updated the drivers on my Brother MFC-420CN printer to the Vista drivers so I could scan multiple pages at once, however, now I can no longer print PDF files!!!!
I tried to roll-back to the old drivers and it still doesn't work, I can print other types of files so it makes me believe that this is an Adobe Reader issue and not a system issue.
In addition, I tried the following steps:
1. Under advanced settings I chose "Print as Image" - did NOT work
2. I uninstalled Reader and re-installed - did NOT work
Here is my setup:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit
Model: HP Pavilion dv2700
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.90GHz(I am aware this is a 64bit processor with a 32-bit OS)
Printer: Brother MFC-420CN
Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386(This is the previous driver that I rolled back to which used to print PDF files)
Adobe Reader v9.4.0
Any advice on how to get this working again would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

How to print a pdf file from Labview
Hi,
Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.
{"code 3005" ,,,"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Display PDF in Dialog.vi"}.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Jenia.You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

Creating fields in a PDF file..
I downloaded an application from a web site in PDF file form, how do I create fields in the form so I can fill it out?
ThanksHi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

How do I save the text I have typed in a PDF file in Adobe, then mail it.
How do I save text that I have typed in a PDF file in adobe and then mail it
Currently goes through without textYou don't have to do anything special to save text you type as an annotation or in a form. What's probably confusing you is that if you view the PDF within iOS apps like Mail, it appears the text you typed disappeared. However, when you view the PDF file in Acrobat or Reader on Mac, Windows or other platform, the text is there. (It's a limitation of the native iOS PDF viewers.)
If you've updated to the newest version of Reader, you should also get a dialog offering the choice between "Share Original Document" and "Share Flattened Copy". The dialog explains the difference between the options. -
Pdf files lack form field contents :(
I'm a house call veterinarian, and all of my patients' medical records are in pdf files. I'd LOVE to be able to reference these records when I am driving around town, without having to lug around the laptop.
I've found some great apps to transfer & view pdf's on the iPhone (FileMagnet & Felaur PDF are outstanding!) The trouble is that none of them can display my patients' data, which is contained in form fields. I don't want to edit anything in these fields, I just want to read it.
Why is this feature missing? It would be so cool!Ok; so I will start adding usage rights to my forms and using the
script, which hopefully will help. I'll also add in the completion
instructions that the user should (preferably) complete and save the
form using Adobe Reader (;)opposite of what I've been saying) or Adobe
Acrobat Professional. And, if they open the form through the "Preview"
application there may be problems with their and our ability to view
and/or print the completed form.
On my end, with the script, I still should be able to see and print the
form.
Now, here is the message I received from one user which seems to add
more confusion:
"I have definitely found something weird....When the files are opened
using either "Preview" or "Adobe acrobat Professional" they are both
open and complete as seen on the screen, but when I try to print them,
the forms will only print when I open them with Preview. They are
completely blank (apart from the forms themselves) when opened with
Acrobat (despite me being able to see the completed form, which includes
everything that I typed into the form, on the screen)."
This is a huge problem with interactive forms...I don't understand why
Adobe hasn't fixed it.
Please keep any words of wisdom coming; I can't thank you enough.

I thought I had Adobe stuff. I am not computer savvy at all, so I need to speak to someone who can guide me through this situation. I thought I had an Adobe PDF File, but I guess not. When I went to print taxes, the blank forms printed, but no tax information I typed in. Please have someone call me. My number is (909) 864-1150. Thank you.

Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g
Dear all,
I want to open a pdf file which is stored in a folder on Application Server.
I have the following codes but could not be able to open the file.
1. host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\REP012.pdf');
in this code I mentioned the path on local machine which is okey.
but the question is that how to open the file which is located in a folder on application server?
the following code don't show and file or error:
host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler /EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF');
This is the file on Application Server not on local machine.
2. web.show_document('//EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF/','_blank');
This give HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error
I think the problem is in path, how to mention the path of my Application Server file?
Regards:
Muhammad NadeemHi,
Did you find a solution to this?
We are running into the same problem where we need to open a file present on the application server (path /opt/webapps/applications/ISL/)
When we try this from the local machine it works (path D:/forms) however it does not work while trying to open it from the application server.

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
KEN PANTHEN, Albany, NYBill
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. -
From form calling report to result to pdf file
Dear All,
Usually, when we call a report from form, it calls to preview. Now, I would like to autometically call the report and upon execute, the pdf file will be created. Can anybody tell me how to do that.
p/s: I do not want the preview becasue this report is a complicated report and it takes quite some time to process. So I would like my user to get the pdf directly instead of going though the preview.
ThanksDECLARE
