• InDesign, interactive form (PDF) & radio button appearance problem...

  I'm working on an interactive PDF using InDesignCC x 64 form, and I need to have "a selection only choice ', I use the radio button. But the customer want them look like checkboxes.

  No problem: I know how to customize but... But... BUT... Appeareances custom of the option button will not appear only in Acrobat (instead, I got the default appearance of the radio button circular).

  I checked build-in the option box of indesign library (from 010 to 024) and got the same result. The only way I've found is to re - edit my form with Acrobat, and then change the property in 'square' instead of circle (but still can't get my custom appeareance). But as my form contains several pages and a huge amount of people, not mentioning several upcoming release, I would prefer not having to change anything with Acrobat and stay inside Indesign.

  This isn't my first form and I'm not really a newbie, but on this one, I'm totally distraught...

  Hope that someone from the community will be able to help... (I got 7 of those to do 48 hours... Perfect timing )

  All updates using product Adobe (x 64 / win 8.1)

  Does someone have an idea from the status?

  After that several tests on different computers (Mac & PC) it seems that the problem happens only on Acrobat Pro. Not on Acrobat Reader... So it will do the trick, but the Adobe team should take a look at this...

• Best workflow for updating of interactive forms initially created in InDesign

  Abdoulaye

  Using InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X (10.1.4)

  I created an interactive form 2 page with InDesign exported as an interactive PDF Acrobat applied fields scroll, names twisted the color of the text and fonts, etc.

  But now, I'm not sure of the best way for the form to have some updates that actually change the layout a bit, I think I have to work from the original InDesign file once again, but how to avoid having to recreate all the fields I added in Acrobat.

  Just trying to create an efficient workflow, start from scratch does not seem the best option.

  I made the spaces that contain the fields in the form of white rounded corners and shadows on a color background in order to consolidate the brand image, however all this in InDesign and I now "you wonder if it's a good idea.

  So now demand additional two drop-down lists and a medium additional field I have to adjust the design layout, I don't think that can be achieved in Acrobat.

  You can copy text from one PDf to another fields and retain all properties? Suppose so I set the background and copy the fields in place.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Replacing the old pages with the new, it is how this situation is most commonly treated. It preserves not only the fields, but also other interactive elements that you have such as bookmarks and links. Any code at the level of the document, you add and document actions remain as well.

  Fields can be copied a page at a time, but before 11 Acrobat, are not glued in place, so you may need to do some repositioning. This generally results in the smallest file size, but can be tedious.

  Regarding everything in InDesign, CS6 can be implemented in the fields, but there are a number of limitations and bugs that reduces the usefulness of this feature. For example, to set the font for a field or add JavaScript actions.

• Interactive form fields within a table

  Hello

  I use Indesign CC on a pc.

  I create interactive forms structured in a table.

  Forms are in the format of project and constantly evolving with the lines of the table of content added or deleted.

  How to anchor various checkboxes, radio buttons and text fields, so that they remain with their corresponding table cell/row, so I don't have to realign the interactive fields with each change?

  Thank you

  Sue

  You can anchor their cell by dragging the frame of the blue anchor on each button at the front of the end of the marker in the history.

  

• Interactive form, selecting checkboxes, want only option to click one

  I have an interactive form put in place in Indesign CS6 and have muliple checkboxes, I don't appear when you click the value, however our customers she want so that when it is clicked on it will not let you click on others, so bascially is there are 10 check boxes, only allow you to 1-click.

  Kind regards

  Mark

  Just found a possible solution if someone else gets stuck on this.

  Saved as a PDF interactive using radio buttons, and then opened in Acrobat and in the properties of the radio button, and then under 'options' changed 'style of button' to 'check' and that seemed to work.

  Kind regards

• Best option to create interactive forms for Ipad

  What is the best option available to create interactive forms for an ipad? I read that you need another application like PDF Expert etc... to fill out your forms. This isn't a good workflow for me. I need to create an html form that I put in an article in Indesign and then export to DPS?

  You must write in HTML and then place it either superimposed article or web in your publication. Adobe Captivate can be used to do this, see http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2012/10/16/using-adobe-captivate-projects-in-dps-folios/.

• Need complete information about the construction of interactive forms in IDCS6

  Need complete information about the construction of interactive forms in IDCS6

  Where could I get the most thorough training for the creation of interactive forms in IDCS6?

  I need a tutorial that covers all the basics of the beginning to the end and the rules that cannot be broken. I thought I learned enough today to write one, but it appears there are holes in my methods I discovered tonight.

  In fact prices of Claudia on Lynda.com is about creating forms with Acrobat X Pro, and she finished before InDesign CS6 was available.

  Anne-Marie Concepcion discussed creation of forms in his new functions in InDesign CS6 video Lynda.com.

  But Sandee Cohen wrote an article dynamite in the current issue of InDesign Magazine on creating forms in InDesign CS6 which is very comprehensive.  The magazine is not available for free.

• Interactive forms and style of these forms

  I just saw a topic concerning a sensitive form, but what about an interactive form? I tested the forms eloqua provides and the function of what they are built for, but I don't see an option to make them interactive.

  For example, I want to ask for

  • name
  • family name
  • E-mail
  • do you like beer?
  • Yes
  • None
  • If Yes, then
  • do you like the wine?
  • Yes
  • None
  • If not,
  • do you like cola?
  • Yes
  • None

  Such a thing is still possible as part of Eloqua? Or should I make a shape outside Eloqua?

  Apart from this issue, I would also like to know if it is possible to add style (css) to a form of Eloqua? They do not seem their appearance just to meet my expectations, but I can imagine that there is little customization possible?

  Mike

  This achievable outside of eloqua using the simple HTML and javascript/jQuery.

  Copy the following code for jquery

  $(document) .ready (function () {}

  $(".beer").click (function () {}

  var beer = $(this) .val ();

  {if(Beer=="Yes")}

  $(".div1").fadeIn ();

  $(".div2").fadeOut ();

  }

  else {}

  $(".div2").fadeIn ();

  $(".div1").fadeOut ();

  }

  })

  });

• How do you get a zero for being recognized on an interactive form when he entered in the first issue?

  In a numeric field, how do you get a zero, which first came to be recognized? I have an interactive form, and one of the fields for a file number. Each year the first number is 0001. When a customer types in "0001" response populated, it's just '1' and the zeros are not recognized and that they should do.

  The Format of the special field value and select arbitrary mask, then enter "9999" under the mask.

  Either that or just set to None.

• Data connection to the interactive form returns no results

  I have an interactive form of Adobe with a data connection that calls a function module compatible SAP rfc.  The call works fine, but it must return a value in the data connection response.  I know that the function module is feeding the return variable and binding form field to the answer is correct, but it never shows up.  We are on Live Cycle 9.0, with SAP EHP7.  Wsdl and soap links all look good. I tried data as "ordinary" connections and "run", used the two text fields of hierarchy and directly by dragging the data finds the response to the form field.  I played with various permutations to the soap and wsdl url.  The value of the response is necessary so that the user sees the result of the action (triggered by a button on the form).  Don't know what else to try.  As I said, the call to the SAP function module works fine, it's just the answer that I can't go back to the form. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  I finally solved the problem myself.  Looks like a bug to me.

  In my interactive form, I have a button associated with the data EXTRACT connection that calls a function module compatible rfc in SAP called Z_LEMS_EXTRACT.  This function module returns a result of string called E_MESSAGE.

  The returned E_MESSAGE is then bound to a form text field.

  The generated XML defines the link as

  Z_LEMS_EXTRACTResponse\. E_MESSAGE

  I had to manually change the xml code for

  Z_LEMS_EXTRACT\. Response.E_MESSAGE

  This was determined by referring to another interactive form that was created in a previous version of Live Cycle Designer and a previous version of SAP, he used "\Response." and worked properly.  So I applied the same coding here and it works.

  Hi rilanab49377272,

  If you have Acrobat, you will use the component shapes on the tools Panel to add interactive form fields to the PDF document. If you do not have Acrobat, you can download a 30 day trial of http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. To help you get started, here are a few topics help on the use of forms in Acrobat: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/topics/forms.html.

• Interactive form. Download PDF/JPEG, but save normal non-interactive PDF PDF. How to do?

  I want to make an interactive form. I want users to be able to upload a picture in the interactive form. This I think I succeeded using "event.target.buttonImportIcon ();" but now I want users to be able to complete the form, download image, then using a button to save the PDF file as they created it. So, it is not longer possible to change the fields in the form from the saved file. Just if it is a normal PDF. How do in acrobat pro.

  Thank you.

  You must place the call Save As after the code that sets the fields as

  read-only...

• The interactive form data collection

  Hello all:

  I designed an interactive form that works well and has extended features so that the user can save the form. When the form is submitted, the data comes back in XML format, and I need to go back to PDF format. I use LIveCycle ES 8.2.1.

  In previous versions of the form where we did not use the dynamic tables, data are returned to CSV I could then download it in Excel.

  How do I with a dynamic form?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Traskj,

  You can change your button a to send by e-mail "button to a plain old"Button ". And then in the object tab specify the Type of control as 'submit '. This will give you a tab submit.

  On the submit tab to set submit to the URL field to be mailto:mailaddress (for example: mailto:[email protected]). In the send as, select PDF.

  Using a normal button (a button Email), you get the additional control to present it as.

  Kind regards
