PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

Here's the problem:

When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

Thank you!

Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

  • PDF form field calculates the AVERAGE incorrectly

    I have a PDF form field which is defined to calculate the AVERAGE of the other 4 fields. Each of these other areas has its validation configured to allow only the values from 1 to 3.

    The average field is dividing the total by 4, even if a person completes only 2 fields. I thought THAT AVERAGE would count only the fields that have a value in them. But it is to see which ones are empty as containing a 0, even if it is an invalid value for this field.

    How can I fix? The client really wants to have up to 4 fields and an average of only those that are filled. I thought it was what average was supposed to do.

    Is there a way to tell Acrobat to ignore fields if their value is less than 1?

  • How to stop the message "this file contains form fields to fill out" to appear?

    Hello

    I have created a PDF file, but seen in Acrobat Reader displays a message at the top of the screen "this file contains form fields to fill live... »

    How can I stop this message from appearing automatically?

    PS, The original PDF has no form fields.

    If the document has a lot of buttons, this is probably the reason. If you have Acrobat, you can apply the security of the password and set restrictions so that filling form is not allowed. This will prevent the message appears.

    If sendAndLoad() returns correctly in the swf file, but not when they are incorporated, does this mean that I am missing something in my html code?

    Very useful.

    Is it because my swf/html and the database are in very different places?

    Yes, they are in different domains and adobe imposes restrictions on what a swf file can do with the data from one server to another (from the swf) area.

    Are you talking about a PHP or ASP file that integrates the swf?

    lol you create an executable file on the same server that hosts your swf.  This executable can query your database and not trigger cross-domain issues.

    your swf file can send and receive data from and to this executable without triggering cross-domain issues.

  • Acrobat: PDF text disappears on the iPhone mail application

    Hello world!

    I am facing a strange problem today.

    I created a document of quote on Adobe Acrobat, with fields to fill. This doc is made complete by the commercial officers, locked and then mailed to clients and prospects.


    Our process is simple: we fill the doc and then sign to lock. We "save under" the doc and then send it by mail to our customers. I tested it for weeks and on computers laptops, everything is ok, it works perfectly.

    But today I discovered something really strange: If I want to read one of this document received by mail on iPhone (mail app)... the content disappears...

    > > This is a test on laptop : opening the doc, everything is OK.

    > > Now, it is the result of when I open the doc even on iPhone mail app... My sign is still there, but all the text just disappeared!

    Someone has an idea to help me fix it? It is a real problem for my business, because only if customers receive and open this doc quote on their iPhone, they'll just see... nothing! : O

    Thanks in advance,

    Best regards!

    The problem is that the default PDF Viewer does not support forms. What you can do is to flatten the form fields before send you it, which converts fields of common page elements, which will be visible in the email app. More information on flattening, as well as a free JavaScript-based tool can be found here: UVSAR: tool for selective flattening for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X

  • When to convert a flat PDF form using "create a form" fields are detected but there is no applied blue on-screen fillable form field.

    Hi all

    Use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  To aid in the creation of a shape (according to the provided tutorials) tool, I have a problem converting a flat PDF form in a form to fill out.

    The conversion process can detect all relevant domain names, but the blue screen fillable form fields do not appear. Even if I click on highlight the existing fields...

    I checked the safety of the original document and all the permissions are granted.

    Any advice would be very happy.

    Thank you

    Doug

    What has happened is the form wizard created fields in a place that is out of the page. I don't know why he did this, but is done sometimes. What you can do to see them is to set the zoom to about 25%. In the case of your form, they are above the top of the page. You can still select all, cut, and paste them, which should place them on the page. You will then need to reposition.

  • PDF form field rectangle on the page coordinates

    Hello

    recently I came across a PDF file that had a form field (text) with the following rectangle:

    LowerLeft: 170; 850

    Superieurdroit: 475; 862

    The page itself was: 595; 841 while that MediaBox = CropBox = BleedBox = area of crop.

    The coordinate y is off the page so to speak.

    The Adobe reader displays the field at the top of the page, but within the limits of the top page.

    Maybe it than correct/fix it?

    My question is:

    1.) is this compatible pdf specification? (I did a quick search but couldn't find something about it)

    2.) is that PDF/A-1 compliant (if that makes a difference)?

    Thank you

    ToM

    Yes, negative coords are perfectly valid.   Do not forget that those related to the MediaBox, which should not be journalAGOS to (0,0)

  • Remove or disable the duplication of value for the PDF form field

    Hello

    How can I remove or disable replication of field value in a PDF form? Say, if you enter the address on a single page, it is duplicated at the address on another page. For some reason whoever created this form, made a mistake of linking to the wrong field. Say so a management office address is bound to the address of the owner.

    We have acrobat 8 and the latest version X.

    Thank you

    Make sure that the fields do not have the same name.

  • How to create a script for the calculation of the VO2max using text on a pdf form field values.

    I'm trying to create a script that calculates the VO2max based on user input in several text fields.

    My form is set up so that the user can enter values in the 4 fields of text:

    1 weight = weight in kilograms

    2. age = age in years

    3 time = time to walk 1 mile in decimal

    4. the heart rate (HR) = heart rate recovery immediately after you have finished walking 1 mile

    The VO2max equation that I use is:

    VO2max = 132.853 - (0.1692 * weight)-(0.3877 * Age) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * time)-(0.1565 * HR)

    After the user enters values in 4 text fields, I want the text of VO2max field automatically calculate the above equation and display the result to the user so that the user doesn't have to get all those numbers into a calculator.

    Any suggestions on how to write the script?

    Assuming that your domain names are what you entered in the formula, you can use the simplified field notation:

    132.853 - (0.1692 * weight)-(0.3877 * Age) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * time)-(0.1565 * HR)

    If you want the value to display only after al the data fields are complete you need to use a JavaScript calculation:

    function GetField (cName) {}
    oField var = this.getField (cName);
    if(oField == null) app.alert ("field of error for access to the" cName + "\nPlease verify the name of the field.", 1, 0 ");
    return oField;
    }

    var weight = GetField ("Weight");
    var Age is GetField ("Age");.
    var time = GetField ("Time");
    var h = GetField ("HR");

    Event.Value = "";
    If (Weight.value! = 0 & Age.value! = 0 & Time.value! = 0 & HR.value! = 0) {}
    Event.Value = 132.853 - (0.1692 * Weight.value)-(0.3877 * Age.value) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * Time.value)-(0.1565 * HR.value);
    }

  • How to edit PDF form fields after registration

    I am very new for PDF forms and thought I was getting better.  I'm create forms of Word documents and need to make frequent changes to the PDF form after that I have recorded because I'm still learning.  I thought I read somewhere that you should be able to change the properties of a field after saving a copy, but that did not work.  I forgot to uncheck "Ahmed multi field" and the need to set in my text boxes but I can't change.  I continue to recreate the formula over and over again on the Word doc.

    Hi Ally1286,

    Save a copy, it is required to change the form when you have distributed the form or registered as a Reader extended PDF. In this case, if you want to add scrolling functionality to a tool to "Prepare the form" field then go in (in DC) to the title of the Toolbox on the right.

    On this screen, select the file and click Start. Double-click on the field and go to the 'Options' tab check the appropriate box.

    Let me know if it works for you.

  • More than 100 in a PDF form fields

    I exported an interactive PDF from InDesign CS5. This file makes heavy use of the buttons, which appear as "form fields" when I 'Examiner the Document' Pro-Reader 9.4.0.

    The problem is: when there are 101 or more form fields in a PDF document, reader prompts users to the opening of "Please fill out the following form.» [etc.] "even if the fields of the form are not what the user can fill (these are objects interactive display/hide). It is NOT this way if there are 100 or less form fields.

    Is there a way to get around this? By asking users to fill out the form, it implies to them that there is something to fill in when there is no, and it feels broken.

    Thank you.

    Bob

    If all you have are buttons, then safely, you can apply the security of the document and set the permissions do not allow to fill the fields of the form. The buttons still work, but users won't get the forms message bar.

  • In a PDF form fields

    I created a form using tables in InDesign CS4 and exported in PDF format. Open the PDF file in Acrobat Professional 9 and created for my clients to enter form fields.

    The problem occurs when they open the PDF and finish type, and then try to save the file. The file is opened from their desktop and then typed using acrobat Reader. Then, once they're trying to save that they receive a dialog box that gives only the option to print, cancel or save under vacuum. Which has not any information they typed in the fields.

    What's not?

    You must enable the PDF for Reader users until they can save.

    In Acrobat 8 Pro, the option is under Advanced > enable usage rights in Adobe Reader. Not sure if they have moved or not but look about her.
