Create a PDF file that will write to mdb

Hello.

I have a requirement to add code to a set of PDF files that will be read by members of my team as part of their induction.   Each pdf has a shape at the end that captures their name and a check box to indicate that they have read the document.  When the user clicks a button in the form submit, I want to write these essential data in a mdb access database so that we can hold a cheque which is compatible with the process of induction.

Is it possible to use Livecycle designer to create a document that will open in Adobe Reader?  I have need code to do - just need to know if it's possible.  If not, are there any other ways I could save information form silently, without that users who need to do anything else that present the information?

I read somewhere that works for certain things, you had to activate some kind of extensions of the reader - which is the case for this solution?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Matt

Hi Matt,

Yes, if the user has the free Adobe Reader, database access will require the form to be player activated in LC/ADEP Reader Extensions.

While you can activate Reader a form in Acrobat (with restrictions), connect to a database is not allowed.

See here for a summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.

Hope that helps,

Niall

  • Is it possible to create a PDF file that will add and subtract in the same form field?

    I design a pdf form to fill out for a friend in need as an invoice. He wants to add each element of cost that happening automatically and I got including but now he wants to be able to subtract an element if necessary and I am lost as to how to get the correct code. Is this possible?

    So let's say that you have called Item1, Item2, Item3, and discount fields and you want to add the first 3 and then subtract the fourth total (sub).

    You can use the simplified field Notation on the calculation of your total field tab and enter the following in it:

    (Item1, Item2 and Item3) - Discount

    If the field names are more complex then a custom calculation script may be used instead:

    event.value = (Number(this.getField("Item1").value) + Number(this.getField("Item2").value) + Number(this.getField("Item3").value)) - Number(this.getField("Discount").value);

    Hi quoman,

    Looks like you're wondering how to add security to a PDF file. You will need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Creating a pdf file that contains forms

    I am trying to create a pdf file that combines three pdfs and several forms that I created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I have activated using the player to complete the forms so that they can be saved once completed.

    My problem is that when I try to combine the file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, it won't let me add the shapes because they are forms of Adobe XMS.

    I did not save the forms and XML forms, so I wonder how to save the forms so that they can be combined into a single pdf.

    I tried the option of the portfolio, but I think that this format will be confusing for people who need to use the package.

    You will need to combine them into the designer if possible. Once you have used the designer, Acrobat cannot be used to do something practical with the file. If you want that, you should use the Acrobat (under TOOLS) forms.

    Assuming that you are talking about Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard, it is far from being compatible with Windows 7, if problems are to be expected.

    The first version which has been is 9.2, if I remember correctly.

  • Creating a PDF file that has editable fields and replaceable images

    I tried to understand how I can create a PDF file that is replaceable photos and editable text. I work for a company in which all computers have only Adobe Reader as a means to view or edit a PDF file. So far, I managed to create a file that contains fields of text editable with a custom look and feel, which is great! However, the next step was to create "fields" that can be filled by a picture. Is there a way to create with LiveCycle or any other prorgram also replaceable images.

    My goal is simple: create a PDF file that has editable textfields and replaceable images. What should be done in Adobe Reader.

    I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create this file, and I wonder if Live Cycle can help me with this problem, or if this is even possible at first. Thanks in advance.

    Your goal is very simple with the LCD. Only use an Image field (important no Image) of the object library.

    Any time you can click on it and select a new image.

    Hope this information is useful?

    Kind regards Mandy

  • 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.
