XI Pro, fill in the blank form

Using XI Pro, I know the "fill in the blank" form can be emailed and completed. Can the form be embeded on our website and still maintain the "fill in" ability?

Sort of. It depends whether the visitor uses Adobe technology to view your site. Increasingly people use browsers like Chrome or FireFox, the latest Mac Safari which ignore Adobe technology in favour of their own. No problem except that these typically don't do forms, or worse seem to do forms but leave things broken.
It's hard to recommend PDF forms for a general web audience.

How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms

How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms in Pages 5

Pages does not do it like Word, best you can do is tab over a space and leave that space for the user to type into.
Perhaps putting a small label under to indicate what is required.
A fill in the blanks form made in Pages however really defeats the point.
Who out there has Pages, particularly whatever incompatible version you are using?
Pages has trouble opening Pages files thanks to Apple.
Use standard file formats either pdf (created in Pages, turned into a form in Acrobat Pro or their website) or Word .docx.

Created a 20 page fill-in the blank form with livecycle 8.0 and now page 20 needs updated.

Created a pdf with acrobat 8.0 and used livecycle 8.0 to create a fill in the form document. Now that I am at page 20, the lines i put in for a description for people who still use a typewriter should have been taken out for this document. Is there any way to replace this page with a revised pdf page. When I open the document in aapro and select document the insert page is not highlighted. I know I have deleted and inserted pages before, but not one that went into livecycle. Can it be done or do I have to start all over again?

Since this PDF is based on a LiveCycle Designer template individual pages cannot be removed. Can you not just go back into Designer and remove the page you don't want anymore and add in a new one?

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

How do I create a "fill-in-the-blanks" worksheet?

I am a teacher that works with students who have various needs - some of them have a difficult time writing with a pencil. There are tons of great teacher resources out there that I can print and use for students to write on. However online worksheets are another story. I came across the idea of using AdobeForms as an adaptation to writing.
For example...
Yesterday was _____________________. Tomorrow will be _________________.
Or even:
My n__me is _____________.
Can anyone help me? Right now the only way I can do a fill in the blank is to have a field below a blurb of text, but I don't know how to do a field in between text.
Help!

If I were doing this I wouldn't use FormsCentral. I would create the layout in InDesign or a word processor and convert to PDF using Acrobat. I'd then add the form fields in Acrobat where the blank spaces are. You can limit the number of characters in a field and a lot more. Do you have Acrobat available to you? If not another option is to use the free OpenOffice /NeoOffice and create your layout and form fields and then export to PDF.

Issue with fill in the blank field and back button.

I am working in CP4 AS2. I have create a page of fill in the blank fields to simulate filling in a form. On the next slide, I show the answers by extracting the variables into text boxes. I have a back and a next button and instruct the user to review their answers and if incorrect, to select the back button in order to reenter the data. I have the back button set to jump to the previous slide by number (i've tried previous, last slide, etc...)
The flash movie freezes when I select the back button. I think flash is having trouble going back to the fill in the blank fields from the displayed variables. Any ideas? or work arounds for this. The idea solution would take them back to the page with the data already in the fields so they could correct the errors only and then return to the review page.
Thanks
Scott

Hi there
Is scoring enabled on these? If so, perhaps your quiz settings are preventing backward movement.

Fill in the Blank Options

When editing a fill in the blank there is a pull down in the top left of the correct answers box when it is setup as a user enters the correct answer. When I change the selection and close the box the pull down slections update for a reason I don't understand either. Lastly, when I have two blanks in the same question, the pull down will show the first correct answer form each blank.
What does all this mean?

Hello There,
If you have multiple blanks in a question, this pull down helps you to change the answer for other blanks as well by quickly changing the option. And yes, when we have multiple correct answers, the blank shows the first correct answer.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,
Vish

Fill in the blank and advanced actions

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering whether this can be accomplished with fill in the blanks standard quiz question or whether I need use Advanced Actions.
I have a graphic of a form that needs to be correctly filled out with specific values. There are multiple fields on each graphic/slide. I want all fields to be filled in correctly to get the question (slide) correct. I also want to be able to adjust to fields to have an invisible border and no inset so they are invisible on top of the the graphic.
Is this possible using a standard fill in the blank question slide (I couldn't really figure it out) or is this something that I should be looking at Advanced Actions to accomplish? If Advanced Actions will be required, does anyone have an example?
I appreciate the assistance!

Hello,
With the default FIB you are a bit limited especially concerning the field to be filled in. Advanced actions will give you more control. Would need some more details, but I did blog about constructing all kinds of questions. Here is one link to a post that has a FIB question:
Extended TextArea widget for custom questions
This will not be exactly what you are looking for, but perhaps give you some idea about what is possible. Are you familiar with advanced actions?

How do I download a pdf, fill in the blanks and then email

How do I download a pdf file, change it so I can fill in the blanks, then email?

If the form doesn't have any fillable form fields, then you could use the text tool under "fill and sign" in Adobe Reader XI.
If you have an older version, you cannot do this.

How to create a fill in the blank program?

Hey everyone,
So I am working on a new program that requires a fill in the blank section. I am loading the data via xml as a paragraph, but what I am wondering is how to take this data and make a simple fill in the blank section where if it is right, it turns green, if its wrong, it turns red. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Linda,
I will try this.
I tried too.
I started with a blank Page Layout document in Pages (File > New From Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas.
I added four Text Boxes to that blank canvas:
In my example, the Text Boxes all have black outlines for clarity in that screen shot (select the Text Boxes, then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > Line and set the line style, colour and width).
Then File > Print...
and on the bottom left of the Print dialogue:
Save with a suitable document name in a convenient location.
Then open that PDF in Preview and type the word DoubleClick in each user field:
Double clicking will select that "word" and it will act as the Place Holder Text that Peter referred to. The user can begin typing to replace that "word".
Please be aware that this PDF is not a locked form with fields that users can enter data. Here, I show how to select (and possibly vandalise) the Name box:
It all depends upon how well you can trust your users!

Ian.

How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

How can I fill in the blanks on a lease?

I found the file, now I'm trying to use the "Tool" to fill in the blanks, and it won't allow me to.

Hi Atiimkwabena,
I suppose you are trying to fill the PDF form using Adobe Reader. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
If yes, then that form might not be reader rights enabled. Adobe Reader being a read only software for PDF is only meant for reading and saving the blank copy of PDF. If you want to edit something in the PDF then the creator has to enable user rights(commonly called as Reader Extend rights) so that you can save the filled PDF. That can be done by Adobe Acrobat.
I would request you to kindly contact the author of the PDF to enable the user rights and send it again.
Hope this helps.

Using variables for answers to fill-in-the-blank questions

Hello,
For fill-in-the-blank questions, one has to provide answers. I want to provide these in the form of (user-created) variables, rather than in the form of fixed strings of characters (so then, as $$var1$$ rather than as 'rabbit'). I haven't been able to get this to work. The enter variable function is indeed available (in the properties panel), but it doesn't actually work (i.e. even if you select a variable to be entered, it doesn't actually get entered).
Is there a way around the problem?
1. NB that this same issue holds for text entry boxes (rather than fill-in-the-blank questions). If I could get this to work for text entry boxes, I would use them rather than fill-in-the-blank questions.
2. One can use variables for answers to multiple choice questions. So I'm hoping I can get it to work for fill-in-the-blank questions as well.
Thank you in advance. Marvin DuBois

That would have been my suggestion. I don't have a dedicated blog post, but use TEB's for that kind of questions myself as well. And contrary to the widget/interaction I mentioned before, a TEB is an interactive object, which means it can be validated and there can be a score attached to it. But, it will not help you, since you have to add the correct answers in the same way as for a dropdown list in the FIB question (they are sort of TEB's there). And it is that list that doesn't allow to enter a variable instead of a fixed sequence of characters.
Which means that you are back to the advanced actions, same as in my blog posts with the widget/interaction.
Have a workaround (after all I am the workaround Queen) to have reporting, if you need to check only one TEB, described here:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/report-custom-questions-part-2
The idea is to use another interactive object that can have a score. In reality I use two instances of that same object: one with score 0 and one with score X and show the right one depending on the conditional action.
However if you want to have multiple TEB's on the same slide, that have to be checked all with the same advanced action, than you'll need either the Mastery widget by InfoSemantics (only for SWF output) or Javascript.

Filling up the displayed forms

I am having problems with the forms. I try to print my answers into the form, but I can't. I have to print the blank form and then to fill it up manually. What am I doing wrong?

If you're referring to an Adobe application you should say so, and include other information, such as the Platform you're working on, system specs, what you've tried to do to figure out your problem. Providing too much information is better than not providing enough.
Also, you may want to post in the forum dedicated to that application. Return to the link closer to the top of the page that says "Adobe Forums" and look for the forum that focuses on the application you're referring to.
This forum is specifically dedicated to commentary and questions about how these forums themselves work. Questions about applications ARE NOT answered here.
Thanks.
