Creating a "form" and printing using Adobe PDF Creator

[lewist57]

Is it possible to create a user "form" that would consist of text boxes, check boxes, image box (for photo and signature) that could then be exported to Adobe PDF Creator for Android to publish as a PDF form?

That's not asking for much - is it?

"Is it possible to create a user "form" that would consist of text boxes, check boxes, image box (for photo and signature) " - this can be done and output as a PDF - PDFWriter lib.

"that could then be exported to Adobe PDF Creator for Android to publish as a PDF form?" - I don't see where Adobe has an Android version of this?? Certainly would be nice... Without much doubt, it shall be coming in the future when Android grabs the 60 percent share as compared to the current (59) percent... :sign0095:

Your best chance would be to look into

FDF 1.2

Here is some sample FDF code
that would populate a PDF Form already built

if you get this working then you can store
this pdf (or any pdf you create like this)
on your android device.

Evidently, one may create a form in Adobe Acrobat that will run on Adobe Reader Android, but functionality is limited. You can do more sophisicated PDF forms using LiveCycle Designer ES3, BUT that creates an XML version of a PDF form that Adobe's own Reader for Android will not process. Adobe also has a CreatePDF for Android, but it will not do the job.
