Hi,
two options are:
Oracle BI Publisher (by far best choice but needs to be licenced)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html
Jasper Reports, Free but not as functional or easy to use as BIP
http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports
Both products have Java API's which you can integrate with your application.

I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form. I saved it, re-opened and saw my annotations. When I attached it to an email, the annotation and filled-in materials were no there. What's happening?

Having been gently chided by "How to write a good question," I offer additional information as a preamble to my question.
I am writing about Preview 7.0 (826.4) on Mavericks 10.9.4; my computer is a MacBook Pro, late 2011 model with not modifications.
I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form and saved it. To check, I re-opened the form and saw all the info I had filled in. However, when I attached it to an email, the info was not there; the form contained none of the info I had added. I re-did the form several times, but the results were the same when I attached it to email. What's going on?
Here's a secondary matter. When I filled in the form, the print was red and the type too large. Though I went into fonts, etc. and selected a type size and color black, the info I added was still red and the wrong size. Again, how do I manage color, size, and font?

Form document will automatically be saved after closing the file. As far as cloud message is concerned, it seems your Mobile link setting has been turned on. When you pressed device back button after filling the form, it was saved to your Acrobat.com account. You can access this document by going to Acrobat.com tab present in left pane. Its a cloud storage area where you can upload/save any document.
Thanks,

Trouble filling out a PDF form

When I fill out a PDF form on my Macbook Air, all of the highlighted fields stay populated and the highlight disappears. When I look at the saved file on another Mac, like my iMac, the highlights are still there. If I click on them, the information becomes visible. But, if I then click on the next highlighted field, that information appears but the previous information disappears. If I try printing this form, the only information that prints is any box that needed a checkmark. Any suggestions?

Preview is a faulty application that corrupts PDF forms the moment it opens
them. You should avoid using it at all costs.

HT2506 Font size filling out a PDF form in Preview?

Hello. Anyone know if I can change Font size when filling out a PDF form in Preview? If so, how? Thanks a lot.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

Can acrobat be used to fill out online pdf applications?

Before I spend the money I need to know if acrobst csn be used to fill out online applications

Bill,
The typewriter tool is available with Reader 11 for a non-enabled document, (unless restricted by certain things). This is the same tool included in the EchoSign e-signature tools (Add Text). If the document happens to be Reader-enabled, the typewriter tool would normally be available in Reader.

Filling out a pdf form with preview

I need to fill out some government forms which are of course in a pdf format and they want them typed. Before i go looking for a typewriter at the antique store, isn't there a way to do it and print it retaining the forms format? Preview will allow me to do about 3 lines and then stops allowing input. I've tried the google crap and from there the apache odt crap. Tried it on a PC too with growing frustration and zero accomplished.

Preview will allow me to do about 3 lines and then stops allowing input.
That is quite strange. I fill out pdf forms with Preview, and it allows me to put as much text in as I want. I wonder if the problem is something inherent in the particular form you are trying to annotate. You might try Skim ( Download Skim for Mac - PDF Reader and note-taker for scientific papers. MacUpdate.com ) which is an app I used to use to annotate pdfs until I discovered that that functionality was already present in Preview. I don't know if you can post that form here or elsewhere and I could try to annotate it with Preview.

How do I fill out a PDF (form) document online?

I have downloaded a PDF to fill out, some of the PDF's are greyed out in the spaces that need to be filled out, other forms don't have the greyed out bit, is there some way I can get it to grey out so I can fill it out online without having to print it and do it with ink?

If the fields are greyed out then that is how the author of the form intended it to be. It may be a form that can only be filled in by printing and using ink.
If the author intended it to be interactive then you would be able to type in this fields.

When filling out a PDF form and reopening it is blank

When I fill out a form using Acrobat XI pro and then save it with the same name or a different name and try to reopen it, it is blank. I can us the quick print feature and it will actually print out the information I thought I saved. But if I open it again it shows blank. Any ideas?

RebeccaFlameLily,
This problem occurs when the Preview application on a Mac is used to fill-in the forms. It is well known the Preview corrupts PDFs in a number of ways and it should be absolutely avoided when using PDF forms. The damage it does to a document cannot be repaired, but you can open the corrupted form in Acrobat, export the form data (to an FDF or XFDF file), and import it back into a blank form. Then inform your users to use Adobe Reader and not Preview.

Filling out a pdf form with C#

We have some pdf forms that I have put textboxes, checkboxes, etc on with LiveCycle. I want to write a C# program that will ask the user some questions and send the pdf form the data to fill it out. On my development machine I have VS 2005, .Net platform 2.0, and Adobe Professional 8. The program runs fine on that machine. I downloaded the SDK and modified the FillFormCS code to build the test project.
Is it possible to do the same kind of thing with just having Adobe Reader 8 installed? Is there an SDK example that shows how?
Thanks,
Khari

No.

Steps in using Preview to fill in a PDF form?

I understand it's possible to scan a form- in my case, a medical questionnaire- using Yosemite's Preview software. What are the steps to take so that when you fill out the form, the cursor changes automatically into an insertion point when it encounters either a line or a box which needs to be filled in?

It took a day but I finally figured this out on my own! Thanks!

Using Javascript prompts to fill out a PDF form

I want it so that the form is automatically generated by the information given by the prompts. Is it possible? If so how?

Fill and Save PDF Form within Safari

I know I can download, fill out a PDF Form and save.
But we need to fill out PDF Forms online and have those forms saved on our server (within our Student Information Server).
I cannot see any possible way of doing this, and it could be a reason our school district switches to PCs.
I have downloaded, and installed Adobe Reader 8.0, which doesn't allow Saving PDF.
The Schubert|it 2.2.3 plugin for PPC machines won't allow Saving either.
Is there any hope.

You are misunderstanding.
I don't want to save the PDF on my computer. I want it saved on the server within our Student Information System.
It doesn't work with the schubert plugin (the plugin even says it won't).
I want to be able to modify a PDF that is on a server and save it on the server all within a web page.
It can be done on Windows. It can't be done on OS X (up to 10.4.9)
