How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
I can't find a way to go back.
The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

Working with .pdf files and JAVA

Hi,
does anyone have an answer to how I can find more information on .pdf files?
I would like to convert .pdf files to textfiles and/or xml files. I can not find it in the j2se Edition, and someone told me it can be found in the j2ee edition, but I can not find anything there either. Please help..
thanks,
R.

thanks for your reply. What tools do you mean? I know lots of tools for converting text to a .pdf file, but no tools for the other direction. There is an API available (commercial), that lets you work with PDF in JAVA, but i am interesting in the other possibilities.

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

Zoom to fit doesn't work with Jpegs (works with pdfs)

Note: we are not talking about zoom to fit for pdf, etc but ONLY about zoom to fit for jpegs and similar graphics files.
The problem: starting with Snow Leopard if you have a small picture in actual size but expand the window then click zoom to fit the picture will not expand to fit the larger window (yes it reduces resolution). Please don't tell me it works fine for PDFs, we know it does but talking about jpegs and similar graphics. Dozens have reported this problem but the response was to disregard the postings and then archive them. Does everyone have the same problem with JPEGS under Snow Leopard (with Jpegs only)? Anyone have a solution? A year ago someone posted and had dozens reply. Here is the posting a year ago:
"Hello, just checking to see whether other people are having the same problem with Snow Leopard. In Preview, if you resize the window and then click View --> Zoom to Fit, it simply resets to actual size. In Leopard, it would resize the picture to fit the window.
Is this broken for others? "

What isn't worth my while is responding to your continual posts telling me to jump through a million hoops, in territory completely foreign to me, just to describe a simple problem. Applescripts, larger design changes, sample scripts, my general needs? Come on man, one feature of a basic program is not functioning properly, this is not rocket science, nor does it entail a great deal of complicated & detailed data! And really, if these forums are not the place to voice problems with the functioning of Apple's basic software, what are they for?

Work with PDF created from scan

Hi, how can I edit or work with text (highlight, copy...) in document which was created as PDF by scaning from the book?

Perhaps, you could load the scanned document in photoshop, photoshop elements or even in Corel's Paintshop Pro. All of these programs can be downloaded for trial use for 30 days and you never know you could be tempted to buy them because they are so good that you would want them to do wonderful things with them.
Good luck.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Oh..Yes. It worked. !!
Thanks Jack for your inputs, that helped a lot.
The issue was not with the printer, but that the PDF document itself was a secured PDF document.
I tried copying the document from my pc to mac and tried to open the document and what i saw was exactly what got printed earlier in my first post. Tried attaching to my email and when downloaded, the document had just those text that got printed (also pasted below).
Finally got it working when directly printed from the pc over wireless(or wired). Looks good now .

Preview: Working with PDF Forms

Hi all,
We had a faculty member (using a mac and preview) edit one of our PDF form docs (created using Acrobat Professional 8). The problem we have noticed is if the user fills out each field using Preview, then saves the document (PDF again) and sends to us her data has disappeared when we open it in Adobe Reader or Professional. the funny thing is...if you click in (for example) field 1 the data shows. But, as soon as you remove focus from that field it disappears again.
So, in testing this. If you open the document back in Preview the data is there. Again, this only happens if the form is filled out using Preview. Any ideas - I've seen this problem around the web, but no solutions.
Thanks in advance!
mz

Hello -
I don't know that there -is- a fix; it's a limitation of Preview, Acrobat Reader, etc. (With Reader, you'll actually get a warning message to the effect 'You won't be able to save a completed copy of this form on your computer ...')
Your user can use the print dialog to save the completed form as a PDF, if that'll work in your application.
Good luck.

Touchup Tool does not work with PDF

I am creating my own pdfs and when I open in acrobat pro I cannot select my text using the touchup text tool. I can select the text when I am just using a cursor, but the touchup text tool cannot seem to find it. The pdfs I am creating are very simple, but they work for everything I need them to work for except the touchup tool. Is there some coding I have to put in to make the text editable? Thanks for any help.

Preview no longer works with pdf documents

I had downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader to solve one problem. It didn't work and I didn't like it. I liked using Preview much more and so I uninstalled it. However, after I uninstalled it, Preview no longer works to open pdf documents on the Internet. Is there anything I can do. I don't really want Adobe's Reader back because in my opinion it is an inferior product. Is there anyway just to reinstall something so that Preview works as before?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Stanley.
I presume you're using Safari as your Web browser and that this question pertains solely to opening PDFs via links in Web pages you are viewing in Safari.
If so:
1. Quit (Command-Q) Safari if it is open.
2. Open the Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins folder.
3. If you find the file AdobePDFViewer.plugin therein, Trash it, then empty the Trash. If prompted to authenticate, provide your Admin password.
Good luck!

Ibooks not working with PDFs after update

After loading the updated OS 3.2.1 iBooks would exit to the home screen almost immediately when switching to the PDF bookshelves. I've just downloaded a new version of iBooks and the same thing happens. Within a second of touching the PDF button I'm kicked out of iBooks. Regular books seem okay. Am I alone with this problem, should I expect more updates soon?
George

Did some testing today. Used iTunes on my Pc to remove all the PDF files on the iPad. Then sent a PDF file as an email attachment. I was able to save and open that file in iBooks. I was then able to add more PDFs from iTunes with the file/add file to library menu choice. after syncing I could open them in iBooks. There doesn't seem to any drag and drop option on the PC version.
My old PDFs had been transfered with Goodreader and using Goodreader to move the files still seems to break iBooks.
It looks like the latest OS and iBook upgrades have somehow broken things with GoodReader....

File, Place only works with PDF files...why?

I create documents in Mac Pages that I want to then create an interactive PDF (mainly navigation). I am using the demo copy of Indesign to see if it fits the bill.
The mac pages doocument is a fully formated and ready for export to a static PDF. As a test, I took a few pages of it and exported it to pdf, word and rtf.
The only file format that InDesign would import/place is PDF (pages, word and rtf were all grayed out and could not be selected via ID place).
I had hoped that ID would inport/place pages directly, but I cannot seem to get it to import any format other than PDF.
I tried some other .doc files (actaully created with WORD) and they were selectable but only imported the table of contents (no red arrow an lower right of text box to continue place).
Any suggestions?
thanks
bob

ID is certainly capable of placing RTF as well as native Word files (DOC and DOCX). What you're seeing is quite unusual.
Try trashing your preferences.
For the other DOC files, you need to hold down the shift key when click the page to place them.
