I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat with fillable fields. I'm trying now to embed it to my site. Nothing seems to be working. I've read this

http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … -designer/ and the first two methods show nothing at all, even when I publish. Google Docs and Scribd seem to remove my fields when I upload them. I have to use this PDF rather than creating a form. It's been approved by the PGA to use only the form they've given me. Any thoughts on how to get it to work? Thanks.

Hiya Jenifer,

Does the form they gave you "need" to be in a PDF though? Or can you put the form on your site just like you would if you were using a CoffeeCup form? Just want to be sure I understand it completely and that it's clear to all that can help with this. PDF's don't usually display on a page as much as they are usually just a downloaded item. Forms aren't usually put into a PDF for filling out on a website. Just want to get clarification so we can help better :)

I can put it on there to download too. I just have to use the exact form they provided. It's basically their flyer. I'd like to preserve the fillable fields.

How about using a screen shot of the PDF form for a HTML form background.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have a similar situation. I have an accident report that our drivers need to fill in and then it needs to print so it looks like the insurance company's original. I have it in pdf and in Excel. I have form builder but how do I allow the completed form to print? I thought of screen shot but a) we are dealing with cab drivers with varying levels of computer ability and English b) they could be using phone, tablet, etc to fill in form.

Try adding this to your form in a HTML element.:)
<button onclick="printpage()">Print this page</button>

<script>
function printpage()
{
window.print();
}
</script>
