Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Sending data from online editable PDF

    Hi,

    I have a query about how to receive data entered into an editable PDF.

    Our company site is in wordpress. I would like to add application forms that I have made up in Adobe Acrobat to the site so that people can fill in forms online.

    Instead of having customers download the form, edit it, and then email it to us is there a way for someone to enter data into the PDF and then 'submit' the form somehow via a button? Ideally what would happen is the entire PDF is sent to one of the company email addresses and printed out to be used by our admin staff. At the moment we only use hardcopies of the form that we print ourselves and the customer fills in. It would be great to have the customer be able to fill these in online so we can print them or migrate everyone to the online forms.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction. I would really appreciate some help/pointers.

    Thanks

    We do something similar. However visitors fill in a standard HTML form and the form data is stored in the postmeta table with a custom post. We get a notification email.

    The data can then be retrieved and displayed using a simple text template. This is easier then messing with PDF's. A simple HTML page can be printed as a PDF, or just stored as a text file. It is also much easier for copying and pasting.

    Why PDF?
