A web site can generate PDFS filled by downloading a PDF file with empty form fields?

In other words, if I provide my web developer with a standard form PDF file that is ready to be filled, can code the site to "fill" the form fields with the data generated by a release of the database?

Here's the goal: I need to have nice aesthetically "certificates" generated by the web site for the print client. The design is approved, but the customer does not want to have to fill them all individually. We have the data, and I'd love to be able to 'plug in' on individual PDF files. The question is, can 'take' the data that a user in Acrobat Pro/Reader/DC of PDF software? A web site "tool" can be coded to fill the fields of the PDF format and save a printable file?

Keep in mind, I'm a designer, so I probably don't have a response technical, more just one "Yes, you can do this using the...» "or a 'of course not, silly designer guy, it would be a huge security risk' or whatever, so that I can know whether or not to have my web devs continue this as a solution.

Yes, it is possible, but not with Acrobat, which cannot be used on a server.

There are other tools that can do it, even if the side server.

  • A Web site can store data for offline use without asking?

    In options, advanced, network, web content offline and the user data, I 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode"checked

    And then in the box below that lists Web sites that are allowed to store data for offline use there is an entry "https://forecast.io".

    This site never asked me to store data offline, and I never did anything to him. The website showed there before, I removed it and now it's back.

    So, since I have the box checked to tell me when a site asks you, means that there is not just ask?

    Yes, a Web site can store data for offline use without asking and can do even if you have checked the option 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode', because this option does not work correctly. See the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959985

    As far as I know, it does not mean that the site simply "did not", it's just that the option does not work (or maybe only works in the case where the data are larger than the pref in offline mode - apps.quota.warn?)

    The workaround given by cor - el above, must currently off - apps.allow_by_default set to false.

  • How do you know that a Web site can be trusted?

    Hello

    I posted this message to find out how possible is it for me to know that a Web site can be trusted when on any site I know is sure yet there is no icon to lock on the URL, so that I know that's for sure, everything I have is a tab (with an arrow with the tip pointing down) where I click on to go to another while on the page URL , then next to him there is a tab for "Refresh" and a red 'X' to ' Stop (Esc). Let me mention this website, Microsoft answers Forums, this is a site course yet there is no icon of padlock in the browser to make sure that it is actually inside (even though I know it's course), how, without the padlock icon, can I be sure that the URL is secure, does rely on the version of Windows I have, what browser I (if it's IE Mozilla Firefox (, Opera... etc)?

    Thank you

    -------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    A Web site can start in the footer, so you should have start scrolling upwards instead of downwards?

    Hi Jorge,.

    I'm afraid that, out of the box, is not possible. You will need some custom scripts to achieve this. You can create an anchor to point out where you want to start and then to simulate a click to the anchor via the use of JavaScript in charge.

  • I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the doc

    I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the document (replacing the existing document) and close. Then another person can open the same document digitally sign another area of the form, save it, and close it. So on, and so on. Is there a way to do this? At the end of the day, I would end up with a PDF file with literally hundreds of signatures to enable different ACC everywhere...

    I don't understand what the problem is. In the post of the davidr96549424 on May 8, 2015 07:58 you presented a structure of a correct document. Is the issue of the creation of this structure in a PDF file? For this, you will need an Acrobat, not reader.

    XI in Acrobat, select Tools-> forms-Edit. Click 'No' on the form fields 'detect '. In the tasks Panel that opens, click on "add new field". Select "Digital Signature" and move it to the location in the document where you want to than the appearance of the signature to be. Repeat that for signature fields as you want. Users will sign by clicking on the prepared unsigned signature field which shows the dialog box "sign. Do not forget that as TSN has noted that a digital signature applies to the entire document. The entry in the document where it is is irrelevant. Each next signature covers all previous signatures.

    Your users can also sign a document from anywhere that they want without signature fields already prepared. For this select fill & sign-> work with certificates and the type of signing you want to sign up with. A dialog box that will tell you a rectangle for the appearance of signature rises and after you draw the rectangle of the dialog 'Sign' rises.

    PDF/Acrobat doesn't have a limit on a number of signatures in a PDF document. But! Don't forget that when you open a PDF file with Acrobat/Reader signatures valid all of them and takes time (several seconds - until 10 - for every signature), so if you have several signatures of dozens of their validation open can take a long time.

    I don't know how build you your workflow so that each person signs the same PDF and saves it. Economy runs on the same computer where the PDF is stored. You'll have to decide how to allow different people to have access to the same PDF. They, of course, you may sign this only one-at-a-time PDF.

  • How can I send a PDF (contract) with electronic signature fields to a client which sends the document to its legal service for execution?

    How can I send a PDF (contract) with electronic signature fields to a client which sends the document to its legal service for execution? The last time that I sent him one he simply passed on to its legal group but it infiltrates automated email (text pending signature) even after its Legal Department has run.

    Hey bje59649739,

    Please check that no signature field is empty in the document to be signed.

    You can send the document yet keep identification of the signer's email (under: label) for the Legal Department to get the completely signed document.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Unfortunately, no. ExportPDF is just to create Word (or Excel) documents of existing PDF files. To combine several PDF files into one, you must either Pack PDF or Acrobat DC.

    This is my first time using this forum. I hope that my question made its appearance and that this space is to respond to the answers possible, but just in case, here's my question again:

    On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in the sequence automatically, but the number 10 appears under the number 1 instead of below the number 9. I googled the problem, do not see addressed. I called Microsoft, and they said it's a matter of Adobe. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    Thank you.

    Not an Adobe issue at all. If you want your files to a single digit (1-9) to appear before the 10, you must add a zero at the beginning.
