ejpvi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I have an ideal solution to this, but I am not allowed to implement it yet, so I am trying to figure out a work-around. Ideally, this layout would work perfectly if I could setup the IWP, and have people remotely login to fill this information out. That can't happen at the moment, so I have to come up with an alternative. We have a very nice looking Questionairre as a layout. So we were thinking, maybe we could save it as a PDF, email it to a person, have them fill it out, then import it back in. Of course, when we save it to PDF, you can't edit any of the fields... anyway to change that? Also, I don't know how we would then get the data back into the database. Any suggestions? It doesn't have to be a PDF, but we would like to keep the look of the layout if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 You'd need some third-party tools for both tasks - not exactly suitable for a temporary workaround. IMHO, the most convenient method would be to use a web site - either your own or an online survey service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudderman Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I don't know if any of the material in this article will help, but there is a hint in the comments about possibly pulling data in from PDF's: http://www.filemakermagazine.com/videos/populating-pdf-forms.html James www.james-mc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
