Using form editor in Adobe 9

I am trying to use the builtin form editor in Adobe 9 for a basic fillable form. Setting up the fields is no problem...actually the wizard took care of most of it for me. I just needed to add a few radio buttons. However, I would like to add a button that will allow the person completing the form to lock all fillable fields as read only before they submit the form back to me via email. Is there a script that I can add to a button to accomplish this without having to use Livecycle?

Hopefully the above link will work for you. I just tested it and it seems to work fine. The reset button is on the second page of the form.
Thank you both, I really appreciate your time and help with this.

Hi,
I am new to hr-abap..And I am working on HR form editor..and I wanted to generate a pay-slip using the hr forms..I had copied the standard form..and I am making the changes into that..
I want to add my own customization into it..like I wanted to display total in words...also, i wanted to display a message at the end of my report..This message should be allowed to change to end user...like for eg..Some Seasonal greetings...
I am using Tcode pe51 to make changes in my form...
Please tell me how to go about and where to implement all these changes so that they will get displayed in my form...Its urgent...

When you go into HRFORM tcode, double click on your form name.
It will take you to Customization window where you can drag and drop all additional data yo want on form.
For designing and coding purpose click on the LAYOUT button on top of that window.
This will open the form in SMARTFORM.
Dont try to go directly as your Form name dont exist in Smartforms.

USING FORM BUTTONS IN ADOBE ACROBAT/READER

Hello, I am using Adobe Acrobat Std XI to create a form that Adobe Readers will be filling in. Everything works in the form except for the button I inserted to allow the user to reset/clear the form. The button works fine in Acrobat but it is no working in Reader. I have tried saving the file as Reader Extended version, I have tried the file protected and not protected and I cannot get the button to work in Reader. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong or is this simply because I'm working with Acrobat XI Standard and not Pro?
Thank you.

Using Form Central with Adobe Muse. Is there an advantage?

What the difference between Form Central and Web Forms on Business Catalyst? Is there an advantage to use one over the other?

In my opinion, there is never a good reason to use two organizing programs simultaneously, as this just causes extra work, confusion and disorganization.
So, if you have to pick one, I would strongly recommend using Lightroom as Organizer and Editor, and PSE as auxiliary editor. Lightroom's Library Module provides a much nicer workflow than the PSE Editor, has a nicer interface and (very importantly) has dramatically fewer bugs.
What would you be losing by select Lightroom3 over PSE10? You would be losing the major bugs in the PSE Organizer. However, you would also lose the ability to do face tagging in PSE (but even if you wanted to have that feature, in my opinion its just not worth it because of the advantages of LR in workflow) and you would be losing PSE's ability to make "creations", like photobooks. And that's about it, as far as I know.

Who will create form editor

Hi Aruna,
Form Editor is a standard tool available in SAP. nobody needs to 'create' it. (Tcode - PE51)
But if are asking about who uses it to create new forms - HR Consultant would use it to create new forms or copy existing ones and modify them to get the form he requires.
For example if you want to create a payslip form using form editor - here is the procedure

Script Editor with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Everybody,
I have an issue (i think!) with the Adobe Interactive Form Editor in my NWDS.
I need to use some scripts in my PDF form, and i though that the script editor will be helpful, but this is disabled.
Somebody knows how to enable it?
If I have to validate values or calculate values in the PDF form, is this the way?
Thank You very much for Your help.
Regards.
SS.

Hi SS,
I am not sure what do you mean by "disabled".
But for your information script editor is enabled only for UI elements like subform, input fields, Image field etc. When you open the form the script editor is disabled. When you select some element like subform, textfield etc, its enabled for that UI element.
If this is not your case, please let us know what all elements you have on the form.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

How to use nested tables in adobe form

Hi All,
I have to use nested tables in adobe form for table display. I have used Subforms for displaying table data. I have changed accessibility of the subforms. Currently i am able to print print the table correctly if there is single material record in table 1 and single corresponding record in table 2. But the requirement is that i will have multiple lines in table 1 for single material and only one record in table 2.
EX: form is for Sales order. in line items if the order is for 100 units then we if we have delivered material as 80, 10, 10, then table 1 will have 3 lines for this. Table 2 will always have only 1 corresponding record.
item--materialdescription-ordered qty--delivered qty--delivery date-price
xxx--xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-10080xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy------yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
xxxxxx is table 1 and will have multiple lines
yyyyyy is table 2 and will have only 1 entry for item xxx
and this group will be repeate as per no of items. table 1 can have any no of lines per item.
I am currently able to display 1 line for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.
But how to show multiple lines for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.

HI,

go to bodypage>object->subform-->select flowed option.
I thihnk this will work..if u are getting all the records properly into the tables 1 and 2.
Thanks,
Mahdukar

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Having problems using forms in Adobe Reader on Surface RT

I'm trying to use fillable forms on Adobe Acrobat on a PC that can be accessed via a Surface RT at work. But when I access the forms with the Adobe Reader app and attempt to fill out and email the forms, the parts that are filled out come out blank. Is this an issue with Adobe Reader? The email button I set up on the PC end via Acrobat works, so I can email it through Reader, but all the forms are blank. That doesn't make sense. There also is no way to use the sign function. Why is that?

Good luck with that. It's 2014 I can't open a fillable form that I need to submit for an annual report. I'm assuming I'll have to wait until I an use my laptop in a few days. Pretty shameful really.
