Buiding form for users online?

I have a client who wants a form with about 100 entries of data with instructions on how to complete the form, about 17 total page.

They want to be able to fill it in online and all the data they enter will be sent to a database of any.

I am a web designer and of course the standard contact form did simple etc etc...

I am very new to Acrobat Pro and know nothing about liveCycle. I don't even know if acrobat would be the best way to go, or what type of database to use?

Everything, everything! Help or addvise that someone could throw my way would be greatly appreciated

jbhoo12,

You can see this post that looks similar to what you ask: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/332406.

I am familiar with HTML and CSS and have many more hours in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. After reading your post, I think that it much simpler to create the necessary form in HTML and use a pre-existing database HTML option that stores the data for you. A 17 page in Adobe Acrobat form will take you several hours to Setup. Configured, you will be forced to write code or to perform another type of advanced formatting to get it to interface with a database. Unless your client specifically requested forms adobe, I personally recommend HTML because I think it will be easier.

I hope this helps. If I answered your question, please click on question answer so that I get the points.

Thank you

  • Creation of .pdf Fillable form for users of Reader files

    I read the following article, but I'm still not sure restrictions on PDFs fillable http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/standard/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0 d.w.html

    I have not worked with before .pdfs, but the context of what I'm trying to accomplish is the following;

    I want to be able to create a form for an application for medical services. The idea is that a typical user will be able to download the .pdf of from a site, fill in the appropriate fields, and then save the form .pdf and return by email. Users in this case of course will use Adobe Reader.

    The article from the link above seems to say that if I pay an amount for Adobe Acrobat X Standard, then I'll be able to create this kind of fillable - reader users will be able to edit and save. Also, article seems to say that some pretty severe restrictions are in place about how many people will be able to actually use the form I created.

    Can someone explain to me if my understanding here is accurate? Can someone explain to me how the limit of 500 users is applied?

    The limit works like this.

    You can send the form to up to 500 people and they can fill an unlimited number of times and send you the pdf.

    OR

    You can send an unlimited number of people (for example, displaying it on a Web site for anyone to use), but you can only collect 500 times. This 500 times includes not only the PDF files which have been filled through electronic but any paper copies of the same form that was sent to you after filling hand.

    Also, you cannot modify slightly the form and call it a new form. These limits apply to each card 'single '.

    From the sounds of it, you would not qualify to use these types of forms enabled. Adobe sells a lot more expensive side product server for higher consumption (think IRS Forms).

    As to how they 'emforce' TI, who knows. It's not like they have any form of monitoring, but all it takes is a person who is dissatisfied with you or your company and is familiar with the rules to transform yourself.

    And they will come after you for violating the user agreement.

  • [ADF, JDev 12.1.3] How to display multiple records on the same page... not in a table but they appear a form for each record

    Hallo,

    I need to create a page that displays the records of a VO, but I would not use a table.

    Instead, I would like to display a form for each record to be displayed.

    Forms must appear one above the other and each form should have 2 buttons: one to remove the file/form itself and one to add a new file/form.

    When you press the button Add a new empty form should be dynamically added to the page (so that the user can fill) and created related record.

    When REMOVE button is pressed the form (which contains the operated button) should be disappear and the record shuould be deleted.

    Creations and destruction must be applied only if the user clicks a button on CONFIRMATION / COMMIT.

    Maybe this http://digilander.libero.it/flattit82/OTN_FILES/MultiFormPage.png picture can help to understand what I want to do.

    You kindly help me?

    Thank you

    Hi Federico

    I was saying that your page layout can be achieved using af: table

    See this image:

    This provision is af:table (I think same as yours), just add a column in the table and put all the fields in this column then correct layout allows to design as a provision on the form or group layouts

    I'm not saying it's the best approach, but you can try this

  • How to upgrade the form for organizations put into service?

    Hello

    I have a similar problem, as indicated here IOM - provided users with versions of form different resources

    But I need to update the form for organizations. I added 3 custom to your UD_ADOU attributes and this form is visible to the new accounts set up. Old accounts ORG provisioned see attributes form the only version 0.

    So I tried to use FVC utility to update these accounts of Organization put into service, but it does not work.

    Here are my properties file:

    $ cat fvc.properties

    ResourceObject; OU AD

    FormName; UD_ADOU

    FromVersion; 0

    /ToVersion; AdOUForm02

    Parent; UD_ADOU_DEPARTMENTCODE; N/A

    Parent; UD_ADOU_ORGUNITTYPE; Department

    Parent; UD_ADOU_MANAGER; '' cn = manager01, ou = users, dc = adroot, dc = local"

    I think it works for the only user accounts (see doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/admin.1112/e27149/formver.htm#CCHCBDBJ )

    My question is, who can update a form for organizations put into service? Is it possible to update the configured accounts of organizations by FVC utility? If so, how?

    Thank you

    OK I found the solution and I found a bug in the IOM probably.

    The main tables are SDK and UD_ADOU;

    The SDK table contains information about the last active version of the form... org

    The UD_ADOU table contains all the forms (supplied) and their version of the form that uses the account provisioned.

    So I used the following SQL command to update the version of IOM 11.1.2.1 forms:

    Update UD_ADOU set UD_ADOU_VERSION =

    (select SDK_ACTIVE_VERSION in the SDK where SDK_NAME = 'UD_ADOU');

    commit;

    In IOM 11.1.2.2.x I started the work of the "upgrade" form, but as I said, after this i see new attributes in the form of commissioning Org, but when I change the data, these data are not configured for the announcement.

    Then I checked the SDK and UD_ADOU tables and I found in the SDK table active the last version of the East ADOU 1.  BUT! in the UD_ADOU table, all records have UD_ADOU_VERSION = 7! (Value 7 is the number of the line of the record with the SDK_NAME = "UD_ADOU").  Is this a bug?

    I changed all these archives to the value 1.

    Update UD_ADOU set UD_ADOU_VERSION = 1;

    commit;

    And now, also commissioning works well in IOM 11.1.2.2.x

  • Conservation of data form for later use

    Hello, all,.

    I know that this question is not really belong here, but the general development forum is dead (I already asked a question-no answer), and users more intelligent that I interact with are in this forum, in any case.  So, please forgive the audacity to ask this question here and please do not move to another jurisdiction.

    I was responsible for establishing a form so that a user can check a checkbox that will save the form for reuse later.  The user can give it a name, and it will appear in a menu drop-down SELECT future visits.

    What I have in mind (and I did, so far) is to use jQuery.serializeArray () and JSON.stringify () to save form fields and string data in a column of a database table.  So far so good.

    However, on chain of such recovery, displaying in the browser and using JSON.parse () to turn this data into an object, I am facing some real difficulties in filling the data in the form.

    The code I have, so far, is not that I am working on the form - I created a dummy form just to get this code works and it will transfer to the form of production as soon as I have this job.

    I'll try to get the code of my dev environment (isolated from the internet) to power post it here.  I'll be right back.  (If I'm sitting here, the session will expire before I hit the 'Post' button on this message.)

    V/r,

    ^_^

    Select form elements is an attribute of type.  So, try to get this attribute would fail.  What I would do, is to add a data attribute to all fields to store the type.

  • Is it better to create a form for the 25 different forms?

    We have a Telco Application (in the form of 10g) which has about 200 forms that are called from the main menu. Off than 200 forms on * 25 * are forms of type 'upload file' (see below).

    http://www.freeimagehosting.NET/alg6q

    As you can see, it's small size. The feature is:
    *(a.) Select a text file (which includes tabular data) of the client computer.
    When the file is selected, it is also copied to a directory on the DB server machine. The file name displays the full path of the file in the client computer.
    * (b) * when the user press the load button, form calls a stored procedure that is packed. We create an EXTERNAL table mapped to the file in the directory db and read the contents of a temporary table in the comic book.
    * (c) * when the user press the Process button, the temporary table is read and our Telco tables are updated using these data.
    * (d) * you can view the records of error and the correct records discovered during treatment, with the option to view the file . This will display 2 Oracle reports.
    * (e) * you can delete the contents of the temporary table by using the option delete temporary .

    This story goes like this: our application is in the form of 10g. Now, we want to update this application Forms 11 g value. We met one of the problems was the FileUploader bean that we use in the forms above. This does not work in 11g. Solution has been found using WebUtil. Now, we must change all the 25 forms (obviously).


    Now here's the really important part: our managers feel that in the future also we may have to move to these 25 forms (due to problems/upgrades future with WebUtil and so on) and they want us to create a form for 25 forms. For example, in a form.

    (a.) we have a list box at the top where chooses to uses which upload function he wants.
    (b.), the file is selected (and then transferred to the DB directory).
    (c.) now when users click on the load button to execute the charge process packed for the selected workload file option.
    (d) when he pressed the Process button we need to run the program for the selected file download function unit.
    (e) when the user presses the button view the file, it should display the correct records and invalid records (found after treatment) 2 speed. The reports differ from a function to a function.
    (f) it can delete the records in the temporary table by using the Delete Temp button.

    Is it good idea? My first study tells me that it isn't a good idea since we have a form with too many features. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach and what is the best solution?

    The code is not DUPLICATED. The code to load and process is completely different from form to form.

    Looks like the old method of copy-paste-adapt.
    But it surely is something all forms have in common, no? Even if the code is not duplicated the process is (select the file, download it, treat it, call a report, delete temporary data). Look at what needs to be done in general, create an API on that and let your forms to use this API. Ways to form stuff can be done via the user triggers, procedures referenced/copied, etc.. If I were you I would go back, look at the code and see how I can do an API.

  • For the update for user in OIM11g

    Hello...

    To update a field (email ID) of a user learned about the following steps.
    1. change email IOM profile identification and save the user form
    2 IOM then checks compared to Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS searching for a task name that is mapped to the Email field - typically "change Email".
    3. Add a task in the name of the process of the supply of the system target like "change Email".
    4. now write code using the IOM API that will update the Email field of the target form system configuration process with the new Email ID.
    5. connect this adapter in change Email' task.
    6. then when the form of courses is updated that triggers a process task to update the Email for that given resources - "E-mail update"

    May I know what APIs are to be used for step 4 so that the update can take place of IOM form of process for the target system.

    Thank you.

    Just copy adapter that reads the user profile data and the copy to treat the form field.
    Not for Oracle:

    (1) assume a created a UDF: UDF USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE phone number called 'Phone number' form field users user defined in the Console Design

    (2) then double-click "Définition Lookup" under the tree of the Administration Console Design and query that this code "Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS".

    (3) add "Information of Code Lookup" like that.

    (i) enter the UDF column, created in step 1 for Code key as USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE
    (II) enter the word "Change" without the quotes, followed by the name of the field in the column UDF created in the column of Decode. So in this case decoding is "Change phone number" without the quotes
    (III) language: en
    (IV) country: U.S.

    (4) then create a task in process of type adapter
    (i) move to the tab list of Variable and create a variable 'var1' resolve at run time.
    task logic II) Add-> DEFINE the VARIABLE and click on continue
    (III) in the Add Set parameter Variable of the task dialog box, select return value of adapter in the drop-down variable name, Type of the operand as a Variable, the qualifier operand-> 'var1' created in 4i).

    (5) add a process task under the definition of process of the resource object in Design Console called "Change phone number" without the quotes. Note: The name of the task must be
    exactly even decode the value in the choice list definitions and then make it conditional and also check "allow multiple Instances".

    ((6) in the tab 'Integration' of the task add the adapter, you created in 4) then map it on the variables of the adapter.
    (i) card adapter return Variable to process the data, and then select the form field in process (example: UD_ADUSER_PHONE) that you want to update with field of Business USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE of the user's phone.
    (II) then map the other variable of the adapter to the definition of the user-> field of Business USR_UDF_BUS_PHONE of the user's phone card.

    Result: Now when business phone is updated, business phone user change will trigger in and inserted to this resource and copy the profile to your process change. If the connector already has the task of process 'Affairs updated phone' in the definition of process that has an adapter to update the target and then due to the update to business phone in the form of process, the 'Business phone day' task will be triggered and target will also be updated with the new change.

  • Add/Edit users online - OBIEE 10 g

    Hi Experts,

    I have installation OBIEE where the I created few users (5) and assigned to a group using a security manager in the administration tool. Now, there is a request for the time of the company to have access to the system, and these requests will more.

    Looking for a way to add or edit users online. Anyone can provide a few entries.


    Thanks in advance

    S

    Looks like you are using the authentication of the RPD to access OBIEE. Then, you can open the RPD in online mode and add new users. It requires no downtime.

    But go ahead you have to look at more options as basic authentication or ldap authentication. If database authentication, you will maintain a table that contains the user names and password. So every time you want to add a new user you just need to run an insert statement in the DB table to add a user.

  • How can I stop prematurely submitted forms when users click ' enter '?

    Is it possible that I can prevent Dreamweaver CF bid forms the user submitted prematurely when he clicks on the button "Enter" before they have completed the form?  I need the users at the end of form and click the button 'send '.  I have the key action 'Submit' set up as a 'submit form '.

    You can use javascript to validate the form without reloading the page, but users with js disabled will still be able to send the form. In this case use the form validation on the server side. Search Google for the terms described here will lead you to solutions.

  • Export images attached by form-filler (user)

    Sorry if this has been discussed before - I am brand new to create a form and could not find this question in the forums.

    I am creating a form in LiveCycle Designer, which will allow users to attach a photo (JPEG) to a field of the image and then allow me to export the image full size and save in JPEG format. I don't know if I need to change something in my design of the shape, or if I'm missing just one step when you view the response file.

    At first, I thought that Adobe has compress images and so I asked the impossible, but I see that the completed form, even accounting for the non-graphic data, has a file size that is greater than the sum of the original JPEGs. I think that the image data must therefore be present somewhere in this form. But how do I get it back?

    Right now, I can't export images in all. The only way to save the images as separate files is to take a screenshot of the PDF, but this means that the image is not as big as I allow him in the area of the image. When I click on "Export all images" I don't have the logo that I got when I first created the form. I don't get the images attached by the user (form-filler).

    Two final notes: my image fields "embed image data" checked, and it has to work for users who only have Adobe Reader.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The image field allows you to import, but not to export. The image data would be in a data file, but it would be base64 encoded so you should have decoded before use. Perhaps a better approach would be to add the images as attachments, then you can export them in their native format.

    To do this, you will need to complete Acrobat Editor. With the editor you

    company. It is well documented in the Acrobat help.

  • How to make the address bar behaving like search bar? I mean SMART search, as it implemented in Chrome (very comfortable for users).

    For example when I type a word in the search bar, it begins to give search engine suggestions, so don't HAVE TO TYPE THE ENTIRE SEARCH PHRASE!
    The same behavior is in the address bar of Google Chrome. So in Chrome address bar and search bar are combined into one that is very comfortable for users.
    In Firefox, you have here two different bars, which makes no sense. I used Chrome before and usually by type of force of habit in the address bar to search for something and have to type the whole expression there to begin the search. It is very stupid and using the address bar to the fruitless search.
    Screenshots attached.
    So, do we not have any add-on or option to merge or combine the bars or to implement smart search in the address bar?
