• JavaScript in the PDF form does not online

  With the help of this forum, I was able to create a PDF form that was javascript.  The javascript has been essentially if then statements. The person selects 'A' in the menu drop down one then they get 'B' or 'C' in the menu drop down two; If the person chooses "D" in the drop-down list a they get 'E' in the menu drop down two etc...  It works perfectly on my desk.  However, I tried to download it from our Web site and the javascript code does not work.  It allows the person to select a choice from the drop-down list of a but no matter what they choose dropdown two has nothing to select.  I have to do something special to make a PDF with javascript works on a Web site?

  I use a PC running under Windows 7-64 bit operating system and try using Chrome and Firefox.  I have problems with Internet Explorer now.

  Two of these browsers have their a viewer plugins PDF internal with very

  bad support for JS code. So, if you use these plugins and not the

  Plugin Adobe, it won't work.

• PDF forms: extraction of data fields using javascript

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me...

  I have created a PDF form which, once the user fills out the fields, he or she will click on a button to send the form by e-mail to their Manager. Once the registration form is authorized by the Director, the Manager will be click on another button, which will forward the form to the original user. The user would have filled their email address in one of the fields in the form. Is it possible to extract data from the field e-mail address using javascript?

  Thank you very much!

  You would have to do something like this:

  // Get the email addresses
  var email1 = getField("email1").valueAsString;
  var email2 = getField("email2").valueAsString;
  
  // Send the email
  try {
      mailDoc({
          bUI: false,
          cTo: email_addr1 + ";" + email_addr2,
          cSubject: "The subject of the mail",
          cMsg: "The message body of the email"
      });
  } catch(e) {
      app.alert("Could not send email, sorry.", 1);
  }
  

  Note that the e-mail addresses must be separated by a semicolon, as shown. Also, affecting false bUI will only work if the code is run form a privileged context, as in a JavaScript file to the folder level.

  If you want to hard-code one of the e-mail addresses, it would look like:

          cTo: email_addr1 + ";[email protected]",
  

• Problem with JavaScript in my PDF form buttons

  I try to have my user by clicking on a button in my form on my site and the data in the form for me by e-mail.

  I use JavaScript with my form button code:

  this.mailForm (false, "[email protected]", ' ', ' ', 'subject', 'Message body' ' ");

  Protected mode is disabled.

  When I use the above statement (if the 1^st is set to true or false), nothing happens - no e-mail is sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change this.mailForm (...) to this.mailDoc (...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, he sends the blank form without the data filled due to low user privileges.

  How can I send the form data with this.mailForm (...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm (...) rather than mailto: (...)) (this.mailForm (...) because supposedly allows me by e-mail the form without user interaction.)

  If you use JavaScript, you use the doc.submitForm method and specify the URL of the PHP script. PHP just needs process the MESSAGE and to join the incoming data to an email that it initializes.

  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.

  Since updating Adobe Acrobat app in may on my Samsung GalaxyTab S android version 5.0.2 calculations (add, subtract and multiply) stopped working with pdf forms.  Same shape works well on laptop. Form calculations are still working fine on the laptop using the same forms.  Also worked fine on Samsung Tablet before can update the app.

  Hi herb,

  The calculations do not work as they use Javascript to perform the operation and version 5.0.x Lollipop has problem with Javascript that is fixed in the version 5.1.x.

• How to use a PDF form as a source of data for the second form PDF

  Hello world

  I have the following scenario:

  We want that our sales staff to collect data of our clients through a PDF form.

  We do not like to combine with the PDF we print them or sending them by E-Mail.

  Therefore, there is a solution to fill a second PDF with data from the first.

  1. 1 PDF form with input fields

  2. 1 PDF form must be registered with the entry

  3. 2nd PDF form with a table filled with 1 form data

  4. 2nd PDF form displays the data under the graph with the abilty to edit these data to dynamically change table

  I don't want a hollow guide the whole scenario. I just first of all whether it is even possible to supply a PDF form with data in another form PDF.

  If it is possible please give me advice to know what to look for everything.

  If this isn't the case, I would like to read the recommendations for solutions easy possible to solve this task.

  We do not want to send our staff of sales with PDF solutions to our clients, their collection and their work through a big pile of measures to manage this scenario.

  Thank you and regards

  Christian

  You must understand that there is a big difference between the JS, you might be familiar with (the one used in web pages) and one used in PDF files.

  Although the basic syntax is the same most of the objects and methods are different, as PDF files are fundamentally different from web pages.

  You can find the reference to API JS Acrobat here: JavaScript for Acrobat | Adobe Developer Connection

  The form data can be copied by exporting it to a file FDF then import this file into the other PDF (assuming that the field names are the same), or it can be done using a script that uses global variables. The latter is more automatic, but may require adjustment of the parameters of the application or using a function of confidence (IE, a feature that is installed on the local computer instead of just in the file itself).

  The first is easier to implement and use, but requires the intervention of the user.

• Equivalent 'Field of the Image' LiveCycle in the creation of InDesign PDF form?

  LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "field of the Image. We add this field to the PDF files that we create so that our users can select and upload a JPEG image in their PDF with Adobe Reader.

  Now, we would like to use InDesign to produce the same files in PDF form as an alternative to the use of LiveCycle. InDesign has a form like 'Field of the Image' field of the LiveCycle? We have not yet found.

  In other words, does anyone know in InDesign create a field in the PDF forms that has the same 'Field of the Image' features of LiveCycle? LiveCycle field works in Adobe Reader enabled files and allows the JPEG format, among other things.

  Thank you

  Kevin

  P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality using JavaScript, but Acrobat Pro created documents only allow Adobe Reader to import PDFs, no JPEG or other image formats. If Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle to create our PDF files. We would like to know if we rule out InDesign, too.

  As Peter says it has no way to do this using InDesign.

• 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:

  1. I see such an example somewhere?
  2. The result of the call to the javascript function doc. SubmitForm (urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page as other javascripts?
  3. Can I submit the function from an HTML button run or I put a button 'send' the PDF form?
  4. Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to create a PDF form with a button "submit"?  Free versions?
  5. Can I send via HTTP POST?
  6. Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to create a PDF form with a digital signature?
  7. 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

  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.

• can't read the pdf form on iPad

  Hello

  I finished and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the shape is empty and I don't see any of the data filled.  After searching online solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > advanced, but PDF Optimization is gray and I can't find any information on how to activate it.  Any help would be appreciated!

  There is a Version of Adobe Reader for iPad in fact that I installed and there is no preview for iPad (or at least I don't have it loaded)

  I must warn that adobe has not implemented support for Javascript.  There are other programs of player what to do.

  var Message = "Dies ist eine Telefonnotiz\r2. Line yesterday';

  var CC = "[email protected]";

  var BCC = "[email protected]";

  var Mail = "mailto:"Mailto + + "? Subject =" + + vacancies"& Body =" + + message '& cc =' + + CC '& bcc =' + CCB;

  1. Any idea, coz Iam new in the world of Adobe Livecycle

  Hello

  You can use the validation element to prevent users to print a form.

  See: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/13/prevent-printing-pdf-forms-in-acrobat-8/

  But never, you can prevent users from saving a form.

• Send the PDF form to e-mail address user enters the textfield on form.

  I wish I could allow the person using the form to choose what e-mail PDF form is sent by e-mail. I read this post that looks like what I want, but I get an error message submit cancelled. The email get generated and the form is attached in PDF format so that part works fine.

  http://forums.Adobe.com/message/4167414#4167414

  This is the code I use because I only need To: full address.

  Form1. Page1.Button1::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)

  Capture the values of the form fields.
  strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;

  event.target.submitForm ({cURL: "mailto:" + strToAddress, cSubmitAs: "PDF", cCharset: "utf - 8"});

  That's right!
