Patti,
Have you tried using the integrated PDF Form
Controls in the Report Designer, in order to
provide PDF output to others so data can be
inserted into the fields. Users can then fill,
save, distribute, submit, and add digital signatures to the form.
There are eight different controls. Each tool is
used to create the respective field type.
·PDF Annotation
·PDF Push Button
·PDF Text Field
·PDF Check Box
·PDF Radio Button
·PDF Combo Box
·PDF List Box
·PDF Signature Field
Once objects are added to the report, standard
properties e.g. alignment, resizing,
justification, and font, can be altered for the PDF Form Controls.
After creating a PDF Form Control on the report,
additional properties are displayed when right clicking on the control.
In the R:BASE Report Designer help, please review
the "Understanding PDF Form Controls" technical document.
The the RRBYW20/RRBYW19 sample databases, review
the "PDFOrderForm" report, which is a sample
order form Using PDF Form Controls.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

So we're all working at home now. The
data-entry staff and me have access to our
database via Remote Desktop. Many of our
reports are output/input documents. We print
out reports like stuff about our clients,
usually dates of home visits, phone calls,
doctor visits, etc. The health care workers add
things like dates of recent activity, and then
the data-entry clerks enter it in the database. That all works well on paper.
Now we're trying to send the reports to people
via One Drive. But they can't edit them on the
computer with the new info. Even if we were to
purchase Adobe Pro, it's really not easy to edit
pdfs. The reports have lines and grids on them,
so it's hard to use txt. RTF files aren't
allowing easy editing. it allows you to change dates, but not add new ones.
Does anyone have any ideas to try?
Thanks,
Patti Jakusz
