Will a form that I created in Dreamweaver work on BC?

If I create a form in Dreamweaver CC 2014, and upload it to my Business Catalyst site, will it work?

Hey there,
A form will not have any functionality in BC unless you create the form in BC. Custom fields and system fields need to match the system ID's generated from those forms to be able to function with the system.
You can grab the html from the forms you make and style, edit and modify the html and css for those as much as you want. (As long as you do not change the ID/Name of the form fields, so again, BC knows where to submit the data to, along with the form action)

Need to edit a form that was created by someone else.

Hello, I have to edit a form that was created by someone else. I made numerous changes to the text and repositioned a lot of the items, and it appeared fine on my computer. However, when I open it on my PC and other systems, the fonts are substituting and I'm getting strange characters where I changed the text. I tried embedding the fonts with the Preflight embed fonts, but it is still messed up. My client is anxious...not sure what else to check. Any help would be appreciated!

You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

I entered new fields in a form that was created last year to update it. However, now when I view the responses, they are listed as Column 1, Column 5, etc. It doesn't show a label for the actual field when I view the responses. Can you please help?

Hi Mike,
CRSE is an OEM Product and for use with a custom application they have written. Unfortunately we don't their reports or how they are connecting, it would appear they were originally built off a SQL and then set to a Dataset in the app or they could be adding the data source at runtime. Lots of variations and without access to the source code to see what they are doing not much we can help you with.
You need to contact the OEM Partner for help in resolving this and find out what you can and need to do to update your SP and work with their canned reports,
Thank you
Don

Editing a pdf form that I created. Adding header error msg "do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task"

Editing a pdf form that I created. Adding header, currently the header only appears on page 1 of a 3 page pdf form. I want it to appear on each page. I am receiving the error msg "do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task"

In Adobe Acrobat use a Action for this.

The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

Importing data from Excel to generate "filled" PDF form that was created in Designer

Hi there
I have a form that was created in Designer. The data that I need to import is all in a Excel spreadsheet with the same fields as the form.
Is it possible to import all the data so that it generates a printed PDF with the data on each line of excel?
For example:
If my excel file shows:
First Name      Last Name     Phone Number        UserID
John               Doe               416-777-9970           johndoe997
Mike               Rogers           905-887-3398          mikerogers997
In this example I would like to generate a PDF form for John and for Mike, each with their details filled out on the form based on the data in the excel sheet
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have Adobe Acrobat 11:

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

Can you have a form that you create in forms central a routable form?

Can you have a form that you create in forms central a routable form?

Hi;
There isn't anything specifically to route a form in FormsCentral but I have proposed to a few users they could take advantage of the new "Save Web Form" feature and by instructing users in the form how to route it would be able to accomplish a routing "work flow": http://forums.adobe.com/message/5917475#5917475

How does one attach other documents to a fillable form that was created?

Are you asking about a web form or a PDF form? PDF forms don't support this, but for a web form you'd use File Attachment type field.

How to save a completed form that was created as a dynamic form, with expandable files?

I have created a dynamic PDF form with expandable fields etc. As this is to be accessible for customers to completed, how can they save a completed copy on their own PC?
I tried it myself and I receive an error msg stating that I can only save a Blank Copy of this Form: Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
How can I create a dynamic form (with expandable fields/flowable layout etc) that allows the applicant to not only complete the form but also, to save a completed copy?

Thanks! That worked , however I now have an additional issue.
While the form works in Internet Explorer (I'm using IE11), in that it's viewable, it opens and allows me to save etc) it doesn't work in Google Chrome and I'm getting the below error message:
Any ideas on why it doesn't display in Chrome and does in IE (I'm using the same PC and I'm using Adobe Reader XI)!
there are other PDF forms on site that are not dynamic but are fillable, and these are opening!
Thanks

How to create a button on a form that automatically creates a new page or form with pre-filled field

I'm trying to create an advanced workorder for my company. In short, I need to have a summary page that includes pertinent contact and matter information but then have the users have the ability to essentially click a button and have it auto-generate and populate certain information in a new form (or page). In this instance, it's trying to take summary form and then allow it to expand to an additional 5 forms, but not necessarily always have all the unecessary details or modules if not applicable for that job.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank for reply.
The computers are in different locations, but yes it's possible, the users in this enviroment are all local administrator of the machines, and we can distribute the script centrally from the DC automatically
Acrobat use Java, right? I'm not so expert in java, but something about it could not be so difficult to manage.
Do you know some place where i can get some info about JS and acrobat?

Why can't i see the information entered into a PDF form that was created?

I have created a fillable form and when the individuals complete the form and send it back, it shows blank until you click in each box, but you can't print it off with all of their information as it doesn't show on the print? Did i do something wrong when i created it?

This is typically an issue when a person uses a non-Acrobat product (Preview on the Mac or NitroPDF on Windows, for instance) to fill out the PDF form.
Somewhere at the beginning of your form, let the users know they must use Adobe's free Reader or one of their commercial products: Acrobat Standard (for education) or Acrobat Pro to complete the form. That, or just convert it to a web form, with instructions for them to print each page as they move along.
There could be a different reason, but this is the most common.
I hope that helps,
Brian

My online form that I created has disappeared along with all of its submitted responses?

We created a form for my work and set it up online for responses. I have been accessing it off and on now for a couple weeks. Now all of a sudden it has just disappeared!?!@? Any thoughts on why or how?
Thanks,
Jenn

We had a service outage for parts of Wednesday and most of Thursday. Could you please try to access your form again? I was able to look up your account and it shows that the form is there (Professional Development Consultant Bio) and that you have 20+ people that have submitted data. Is this the correct form? Are you using account [email protected]?

Entering data as a List of value associated to a field in the form that I created.

There are 300 values that I need to upload to this drop down field called OFFICE LOCATION on my form.
Is there any easier way of doing it other than manually uploading them?
Also I have another field called REGION. Can I build a relation between the two field?

Hi;
There is no method to import the data into the field.
We do have a "Feature Request" form where you can vote on popular existing ideas or add a new one of your own:
https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=XnF-KJVCovcEVQz9tZHYPQ
As to building a relationship, it depends on what you need to do. FormsCentral has "Show/Hide" logic where you can show or hide items based on the selection/s of other field/s. There are both "Page Skip logic" and "Show/Hide" logic, this tutorial shows how to use the Skip logic and doesn't really cover show/hide logic but you should get the idea: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/library/skip.html
