Display a dynamic PDF form of XML in Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera
We have built a dynamic XML PDF form, but may not be displayed in Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera browsers. We still get the following message is displayed:
The form is on our public facing Web site and when you click on the link in the web page, the above browsers opens the form within their own PDF reader.
We know that this is because the form contains validation and pdf viewers, browsers do not like validation. Do you know if there is anyway to get the PDF form to display in these browsers?
The only software that deals with dynamic reliability based on XFA PDFs is versions of office (Win/Mac), Adobe Acrobat and Reader. You will need to ask users to download the PDF file and open it in the reader (or Acrobat).

Hyperlink in a dynamic PDF form
Hi guys,.
I created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle designer and I want to insert a hyperlink in this form - but I don't know how to do it. My link in Adobe Acrobat tool is not active.
Any advice?
See you soon

Look in the LiveCycle Designer help doc for more information on what type of hyperlinks can be added using LiveCycle designer. Limit you URLS, files, e-mail addresses.

Hello:
I'm trying a service allowing our small company to sign PDF documents in our offices or on our mobile devices. I came across Adobe eSign Services as a mobile solution (since we already have Acrobat Pro) However, because I am fairly new to the Adobe online services, I wonder is a customer with no Adobe eServices (eSign) could sign a PDF file that has been sent by us with Adobe eSign Manager? (especially on mobile devices. For example, if they had CudaSign or DocuSign) we do not want to cause inconvenience to our customers with download a particular application, or create accounts to anywhere just sign one of our documents. Some clarification in this regard would be appreciated.
Hello TrinityGal,
By default, it did not signatories to first have an account E-Sign to esign document. The signatories will receive an email containing the link to document and once it is which is clicked, it is opened in a browser to fill and esign.
Kind regards

Hi all
My client would like to dynamic images up to 200 photos to my forms. It works very well. However, when I add images up to 35 images. I could not add images to shape more. Then I save data on the form. All the images and the data entered on the form are missing. I don't know why.
If I add only 10 images - I can record data and images on the form. 15456 KB is the size of the pdf. I was unable to add more photos or data on the form.
There may be a problem the size of the pdf? How big can make a limited dynamic pdf?
Can save us the information and images as much as we want?
I spent two weeks to work and trying to figure out this problem. However, it is not successful.
Help, please
Cindy
You must ensure that your users do not import large images.
Therefore, you can use a script on the change event of an image field that checks the size of the data and warns the user if the file is too large.
function formatNumber(number) { var num = number + '', x = num.split('.'), x1 = x[0], x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '', rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/; while (rgx.test(x1)) { x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2'); } return x1 + x2 + "KB"; } var sizeLimit = 200, //allow upto 200KB images thisSize = Math.round((this.value.oneOfChild.value.length * 3 / 4) / 1024); if (sizeLimit > 0) { if (thisSize > sizeLimit) { xfa.host.messageBox("Note: With " + formatNumber(thisSize) + " the size of the imported image is greater that the recommended maximum of " + formatNumber(sizeLimit) + ".\nLarge images can cause a insufficent performance.\n\nIf possible, use images with the following recommended specs:\nFormat:\t\tPNG or JPG\nColor depth:\t8 Bit (higher is not supported)\nColor space:\tRGB (CMYK is not supported)\nFile Size:\t\t" + formatNumber(sizeLimit), "Recommended image size exceeded", 3, 0); } }

Get the text of a pdf form to fill in Illustrator layers
Hi all
OK, here's the thing. I have some PDF forms with multiple lines and columns and the information in them. I need to take this information and place Illustrator layered on a file. I've seen examples here accomplished that, with Excel files, but is there a way to do it from a PDF form? I use CS6 and Javascript.
I appreciate any help you can provide me.
Kind regards
If you are in the export of files and to analyze text manually and forms are conducive to this, you can try to export data to PDF form as xml or .fdf (?) file, those who provide a text of these data document.

Hello
I have a dynamic PDF where users all text fields, dropdown lists and image fields. I also lock that all fields button script that I found in this forum to lock all fields in the form once only the user completes it. I was wondering is there a way to record or produce a flat static pdf file in the end? Sometimes the dynamic shape may increase in volume due to the size of the image in the image field. So is there a way to flatten everything in the end and produce a small copy of this file? This way any user, even with the older version of adobe reader can open it since his is no longer a dynamic form.
I know that sometimes I can do by printing to a file 'adobe pdf', but cannot me when to have the configuration of permissions. I don't want to give full access too. What are the permissions do I need to change for this? Is there another way to flatten a dynamic file in the end? Does anyone do this?
UH. The Distiller does not handle file protected by an owner or user password.
The only way around this TI to select the options of "Print as Image" in the Advanced menu of the dialog box print acrobats.

A publication of signature and lock filling PDF form. [Android]
Guys,
I created a PDF form for our engineers in the Department, and he works well with your Android app re clients signature on site.
However, when my engineers send the signed PDF it can be changed, and the form fields modified by anyone who opens it with the PDF reader.
How can I "lock" PDF forms once post completing and signing with your Android APP...?I see hundreds of people, in various forums, including the Adobe forums, that it is a problem.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Chris.
Hello

Send a PDF form via HTTP Post: Newbie Questions
Hello
I am completely new to PDF forms, so I was finding the documentation and the overwhelming options.
I'm hoping to get directed to the documentation/tutorials/examples that I really need.
I want to build a 'proof of concept' for my boss. I would like to include a screen in our webapp Java (JSP & spring) where either a PDF form is incorporated or is accessible via a link.
I have
- Standard Adobe Acrobat Distiller X license
- Adobe Acrobat X Standard
- Microsoft Office 2010
I made a little, the form of Microsoft Word 3 field. I then he converted via distill into a PDF form.
I then found this document on how to submit a PDF form to a component side Server:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-Demystified
My big problem with this document, is not an example, nor an example of what is happening in an HTML page complete. Because I I have a few questions:
- I see such an example somewhere?
- The result of the call to the javascript function doc. SubmitForm (urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page as other javascripts?
- Can I submit the function from an HTML button run or I put a button 'send' the PDF form?
- Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to create a PDF form with a button "submit"? Free versions?
- Can I send via HTTP POST?
- Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to create a PDF form with a digital signature?
- Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I want to? (Please no books, I am tyring to show to my boss that this is something which can be done in a reasonable amount of time, no time to get and go through a book).
Thanks in advance for things which make me pointed in the right direction
Steve
This seems to imply that I can do a such acroform without using an application or can I use an application with an option to write code by hand. Am I wrong? If yes could tell me on the document from the beginner to learn how to do this? I have acrobat, but I don't have the 'send to server' option in the menu to distribute.
No, you would use Acrobat to add the button and configure. As said earier, you want not to use distribute the form for this type of shape. Simply add a button on one of the pages of the PDF and give a mouse action upward to "submit a form":
The video tutorial contains more information on the treatment of the submission on the server. Again, do not use the option to distribute the form in Acrobat.

Dynamic fill a PDF form?
I created a form in InDesign that I use in my daily work - it has several fields that contain information about the problems, I'm currently trying. This information comes from a system internal owner that I have access to via JDBC, SQL, languages, etc. I would like to take my InDesign document, create a PDF form with her, and then have new PDFs generated automatically with the data provided by our own database. I can handle 90% of it, but end Adobe it's confusing and (frankly) a bit frustrating.
I can do a static PDF from InDesign very well, but how do I create a PDF file that is supposed to be completed at a later date using external data? I can put it any format - XML, CSV, anything you want. I don't want to launch InDesign every time I want to print a new form. Launch of Acrobat would be nice, if not optimal - at least in Acrobat have not be careful not to spoil the source document.
I'd love it if Adobe provided a way (out of the cycle of life - I don't have the money for it) to automate this fully in the CreativeCloud limits, but I'm more than competent with to out if programming environments that will be necessary.
Can someone give me some guidance with this?
You have two options that I can see.
1 - completely to InDesign using their feature of variable data and support for XML input.
2. create an interactive PDF form using InDesign, and then either manually or automated have Acrobat import (XML or CSV) data in the fields

I think for better control over XML you need of a XFA form with all its strengths and its limitations. AcroForms can have names like this: subroot1.data3 which would give

pdf form: dynamic ToolTip does not
Hi all
I'm trying to make a pdf form.
I'm trying to change the ToolTip of a textbox control to the runtime (i.e. on a button click event), but it does not work.
I try js or formcalc.
example:
topmostSubform.Page2.Bouton1::click - (JavaScript, client)
MyTextField.assist.toolTip.value = "ok";-With a pdf of an existing pdf file form:
It does not change the value of the ToolTip on the screen (using the js debugger, the value of the ToolTip is changed but not updated on the screen)
-With a pdf rather than an existing pdf form:
It works very well! ToolTip can be modified on many events, no problem, the ToolTip is updated on the screen!
I don't understand where if the problem? Why a form from a pdf file does not work as a form of * zero *?
1 that is saved as a PDF dynamic or a static PDF file?
