help help...Making existing livecycle fillable form mobile(ios/android adobe reader) compitible

Avatar

Level 1

Hello Everyone,

I am new to livecycle  designer. I have a fillable pdf form(having almost all the field types, dynamic image uploads, and javascripts). I don't know if it is possible to have fillable form for mobile devices( for iPhone,ipad,Android).

Does any one have idea how can I make my existing pdf form compatible with mobile devices??

Thank you all,

Jay

Hi Jay Lakhani,

You will not be able to use the form on mobile devices unless it is rendered in HTML format.

If you want your XFA forms to run on mobile devices, you need to do the following:

- Create a HTML render profile in CRX. A default profile comes with LC installation. Check this for more details on this (http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/rendering-form-temp late.html)

- Secondly, you need to have LC Mobile workspace application present on your mobile device. This app is available in respective app stores.

This is what you need to render the forms in HTML on mobile devices.

Additionally,

This documentation (with snapshots) describes mobile workspace working (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/livecycle/topics/mobile-ws-end- user.html)

One youtube link on ES4 describing use of Mobile workspace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPZTXfnsMpw)

Hi Ratnesh,

Thank you very much for your quick answer. Well I am absolute beginners to adobe world. To be frank I dont have much idea about livecycle as whole product and their other supporting toolings.

I have doubt, My client wants to open those offline pdfs only in the Adobe readers of what ever device not with other mobile app. I have seen some offline form pdfs which actully works in all devices with adobe reader. I dont think so they are rendered in HTML format. What do you have to say about those?

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay Lakhani,

Yes the PDF can be opened with Adobe Reader on mobile devices. However you can face challanges on forms.
