  • Create a PDF form that fills an Excel worksheet?

    Hello, I have basic experience with InDesign and you want to do something a little intimidating (not sure if it is still possible).

    I'm coordinates a scholarship competition where people fill out a form and I want that data to fill an Excel worksheet. I also have these forms available so I need a way to "lock" the process of edition form.

    I want to my form layout in InDesign and give him a few data fields (e.g., name, contact information, etc.) and radio buttons (for example what price category would you like to participate). There are some fields of data (for example, to provide information on your presentation) that I didn't need to fill my Excel spreadsheet.

    The Excel worksheet will simply be used for administrative purposes (for example, hold how many people is competing in a specific category).

    Is this possible? Tutorials online that people can direct me to? Thank you!

    Yoou can create the form in the ID and then export to PDF and Acrobat allows you to convert it to a form and 'publish '. You have several options on how retrieve you the data from the published form and one is designed to allow you to fill out a worksheet, I think, but it's really a matter of Acrobat. How large will the distribution? A standard Acrobat license allows only 500 returns.

  • 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.

    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,

  • 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);
    
  • How to create a PDF page that displays in Email and contains links to a page in the full PDF.

    Mac CS 5
    I was able to create the PDF page and activate links to pages in the PDF document. But when I test - send two files to myself, the links do not work.

    You cannot control how, or if, the PDF files are presented in an e-mail. They are just incidental. SOME mail readers will find a PDF attachment and view automatically, in a way or another, perhaps as an image of dead rather than a direct PDF. Some will do it only for the single page PDF. Most don't do at all.

    If you want an interactive email with design and links, you can work with HTML.

  • I created a PDF form, sent to one person to fill in, but he was white * when they returned it. Why?    * a little

    On a trial, but you want to buy and literally my first experience as an Acrobat on a MacBook Air was this:

    I created a word doc form

    Transformed into a PDF file (via the print function)

    Open in Acrobat to create a fillable form

    Fact. Easy

    Yet, when I sent to someone and asked them to fill, he returned blank...

    ... except when I clicked on each field text magically appeared, before disappearing again.

    It is in the preview, so I opened in Acrobat and everything was good, and I could print it. Yet he recorded still virgin.

    Is this weird? Or I do something wrong?

    I use InDesign to create from producing an interactive PDF then it complete in Acrobat Pro. I don't know if the information below works with a product PDF fromMSWord.

    You need to drive turn on your form.

    How do depends on which version of Acrobat Pro you have. In Acrobat Pro ms, for example, after you have finalized your form you must:

    File > save as other > Reader Extended PDF. This version will now allow users to use their Acrobat Reader to fill out your form and save the data.

    (Also you can add print, clear form, buttons for forms of email to your form.)

    Make a copy of your form before you drive to allow him because once this has been done, it is not editable.

    I suggest that you have a practice with a simple test form before you continue with your.

  • Is there a version of acrobat reader that will allow you to fill in forms?

    I have a group of students who use a pdf file for a project and they may have a version of Acrobat to make the shape.  Y at - it a free version of Acrobat that they can use for this?

    Acrobat Reader no longer exists. The product is called Adobe Reader, and it can fill in forms.

    What's going to happen, that's what people always assume will be fine and is rarely. That you want them to be able to DO with these forms once they are filled? Don't make ANY assumptions to what they can do.

  • How to create a pdf with Acrobat Pro 7 which can be edited/saved by user

    Found the link to this and he lost!  Now, I'm wasting time trying to figure it out yet - 3 hours!  The PDF with fields was created with Acrobat.  When I tested with Adobe Reader, it will not allow the user to save the file - fill and print ONLY.  Friday, I was able to find a workaround, but now I forgot.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi Tiggerc,

    If you have Acrobat Pro 7 or higher, you can add reader allowing rights to the PDF document that will allow the user with the Reader Adobe free to fill out and save the form.

    You can find it in the menu advanced in Acrobat 7 with similar wording to "Expand in Adobe Reader" or "Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader".  After selecting this menu option just follow the guests of the dialog box.

    Let me know if you have any questions

    Kind regards

  • Create a simple form that sends an email with the data

    I am creating a form of simple command for our Web site that allows people to fill out their name and address and have these data by e-mail to me.  I'm familiar with Dreamweaver, but have never looked into this kind of thing before.  I've read several tutorials on the use of PHP script to do this and he's going to 'confirmed' url after clicking on send, but I never have the e-mail.  Our site is hosted on GoDaddy.

    Could someone guide me through this process, or at least point me in the right direction?

    Thank you.

  • How can I make an osteonecrosis affects the form that will be present and send the pdf as an email?

    How to make a button on the form that will be present and send the pdf as an email?

    You can set up a button with an action to "Submit a form" and use a URL of the type mailto to specify the email address, you have the forms sent. If you want to send the whole PDF, select this option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL must not include spaces and the part "mailto" must be lowercase, as:

    mailto:[email protected]
    

    It will try to open an e-mail by using the users default email client. If the user has not implemented a or there is another problem, the email could not get started. If she has to work with versions of reader before 11, the form must be activated for the reader, what you do in Acrobat 11 selecting: file > save as other > Reader Extended PDF > activate tools more

  • I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

  • 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.

When I made a form in InDesign and then be able to fill in Acrobat, it becomes just an empty space when I use a, o. What should I do so that the parameters to write aao in Acrobat? I use a mac.

    In this thread Re: charactersets are taken in charge by interactive pdf created in ID? (Lack of Norwegian SEO) Willi Adelberger said that it was a bug that has been fixed in an InDesign CS6 update.

    So, if you have CS6, be sure that you are fully patched. If you do not, and that this issue is important to you, you need to upgrade.
