To upload a PDF form on your WordPress website and allow users to fill it out, you can use plugins like WPForms or Gravity Forms, which offer PDF form submission functionality. These plugins allow users to fill out the form directly on your website, and upon submission, the filled form can be redirected to your email address as a PDF attachment. You can then receive these filled forms as PDF files rather than just raw data, enabling you to easily print or save them for your records. Additionally, ensure that your email service provider supports receiving PDF attachments. If you have further questions or need assistance with implementation, feel free to reach out to the support teams of these plugins or seek help from WordPress forums.
I have also applied this method on my website [Link removed]

Hi @Chris1051,
Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader Mobile.
There is a similar thread Solved: Re: Submit button not working on mobile devices, which has the solution in detail.
Please visit the thread once and let me know if it helps.
If not, please share the form with me over a private message so we can test the issue in-house and get back to you.
[To share a private message, click on my profile name-> click the blue button saying "Send a Message" on the next page]
Look forward to hearing from you.

Why answer a question with a question? Clearly they dont want to do it that way... or they wouldn't have asked! I can think of several reasons a developer wouldn't want to rely on a end user to figure out how to open an attachmet pane when it could "simply" (as you put it) be displayed automatically and within the document. Golly I hope you're not the "Community Expert" on any other posts!

Yes, that's possible, but it will not work in Reader. There you can only set the fields as read-only, but a better option is to have the user sign the file, and set the signature field to lock all the fields when signed.

You will need to either perform this validation yourself (I've posted code here that does that, search for "validateRequiredFields"), or use the submitForm command instead of mailDoc, which does it for you. Note that submitForm takes different kinds of input parameters, though.

I have a pdf form with fillable fields and a submit button, can this same form be converted to html, with all forms of filling in the PDF? Even with the actions of the send button? Could you help me with this?

Thank you for replying! Sorry I was not clear, I am asking about the script from JR_Boulay: I am not sure how to incorporate that into my form, do I add the script below to the submit button, and if so not sure how to adjust my existing script (which is included in my previous reply) to include this additional code? I appreciate any advice! var emptyTest = /^\s*$/; for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) { var nameField = this.getNthFieldName(i); var fld = this.getField(nameField); if(fld.type=="text") { if(fld.required) { if(emptyTest.test(fld.value)) { fld.strokeColor = rougeCorporate; } } } }

Check out the following online tool that may help create the script: nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/email-pdf-mailto-generator.aspx 1) To remove usage rights, you can open the PDF in Acrobat, and "Save-As" a new form 2) Then edit the submit button to include the new javascript action on the mouse up event 3) Just copy the script generated from the link above and paste it into the button's javascript action 4) Save the form (enabling usage rights may not be needed with certain email functions)

I like the solution by NKOWA555 . XML is very easy to handle for the manual solution. It's simple, direct, and can be expanded on later with some automation and workflow variations. Although I haven't tried it yet, I suspect Excel might require you to walk through an import wizard to get the data where you want it. But even with this it's a good scheme. I do not like the built-in Acrobat Distribution functionality. This has been around since Acrobat X. Its a very simple single source workflow with few options. It works great if that workflow is what you want. One of the problems is that it only works on the computer on which it is created. Someone can't set it up for you. There are other issues, for example its not modifiable or expandable into other methodologies.

It's not a fail. PDF forms are made to be used offline with Acrobat Reader or any third party PDF Reader that handle AcroForms. HTML forms are made to be used online with web browsers. Therefore your choice does not seem relevant.

According to specifications, the max size for a PDF file is 32 kilometers. For some reasons*, in softwares it's usually limited to 5,2 meters (200 inches). * Mostly because of Windows restrictions for printing

Hello, I am just discovering the form in Acrobat x pro. It's easy to create a form from a model or from scratch but I need help to finalize the validation and Send form. I would like to lock the form after it had been filled and sent. The idea is to not permit to the users to reuse the form after validation. Is it possible ? Should I used the javascript ? If yes, how to add the code in the form ? thanks in advance

If you are running ASP.net on a local or remote web server, you can setup an ASP.net script to merge a blank Acrobat PDF with a MS Access record and output the PDF to the browser's buffer. This method requires some programming knowledge. If you can't do it yourself, you can hire a professional developer such as myself.

Is this a feature or a bug? When I use a relative path or a file path for the PDF HREF URL in the XDP file it populates the PDF correctly; but, when I use the full URL, it doesn't populate the PDF with the XDP data. The relative URL populates the PDF: fdftoolkit.net/examples/xfa-static-relative.xdp <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.6.7120.0"?> <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"> <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"> <xfa:data> <topmostSubform> <FULLNAME>STATIC XFA</FULLNAME> <RADIOBUTTON>True</RADIOBUTTON> <SIGNATURE></SIGNATURE> <SUBMIT></SUBMIT> <RESET></RESET> <CHECKBOX>True</CHECKBOX> <COMBOBOX>Item B</COMBOBOX> <LISTBOX> <value>Item B</value> <value>Item D</value> </LISTBOX> <EMAIL>me@domain.com</EMAIL> </topmostSubform> </xfa:data> </xfa:datasets> <pdf href="xfa-static2.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"/> </xdp:xdp> The absolute URL does NOT populate the PDF: fdftoolkit.net/examples/xfa-static2.xdp <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.6.7120.0"?> <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"> <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"> <xfa:data> <topmostSubform> <FULLNAME>STATIC XFA</FULLNAME> <RADIOBUTTON>True</RADIOBUTTON> <SIGNATURE></SIGNATURE> <SUBMIT></SUBMIT> <RESET></RESET> <CHECKBOX>True</CHECKBOX> <COMBOBOX>Item B</COMBOBOX> <LISTBOX> <value>Item B</value> <value>Item D</value> </LISTBOX> <EMAIL>me@domain.com</EMAIL> </topmostSubform> </xfa:data> </xfa:datasets> <pdf href="http://www.fdftoolkit.net/examples/xfa-static2.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"/> </xdp:xdp>

Hi, I appreciate your feedback but the situation I am explaining is for a staff iPad, not a student accessed one. So there already is security in the way of VPN password for connecting to the networked drive. So I'm not after any unbreakable security solution just a solution that works for this situation.

What type of web server are you running? ASP.net/PHP? Normally in .NET, the HTML submission field/value pairs are located in the Request.Form("FieldName") or just Request("FieldName"). Are you using a 3rd party tool to parse the input HTML data or FDF/XFDF data?

Forcing a file to download from a URL is done with a server-side script; such as PHP or ASP.net: ASP.net: Example /// <summary> /// Forces download of file /// </summary> /// <param name="FileBytes">Byte array of file</param> /// <param name="FileName">File name</param> /// <returns>true/false</returns> /// <remarks></remarks> public bool ForceDownload(byte[] FileBytes, string DownloadFileName) { try { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(DownloadFileName)) { return false; } if (FileBytes.Length > 0) { Response.Clear(); //AspxPage.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"; Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + DownloadFileName + "\""); Response.BinaryWrite(FileBytes); HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest(); Response.End(); return true; } } catch (Exception ex) { return true; } return false; }

Yes, you can add a button with a mouse up javascript event hands off the PDF to the default email program.

With regard to converting to HTML, my client will not be collecting data electronically. They are just dipping their toes into the water of converting their order forms to something they can fill out on a computer.
