pdf forms

I wrote a simple context file for pdf form filling. Translates fine, but the
resulting pdf simply shows text but no fillable forms. What's needed to
actually get forms?

 

Here's the tex code:

 

% interface=en tex=pdfetex output=pdftex

\starttext

Field 1: \fillinfield[name]{text that defines field length}

\definefield [Email] [line] [ShortLine] [] [pragma@wxs.nl]

Field 2: \field [Email] [your email]

\stoptext

 

Thanks!

Bernhard

PDF Forms

[Bob Kerstetter]

Hi,

Is there some way to create PDF docs (as forms maybe?) so end users can 
add their own contact information and logos just by using Adobe Reader, 
not Acrobat? These are one to four page documents. Right now I can do 
this by supplying them with Word docs.

Thanks.

See http://www.contextgarden.net/Widgets
and please add your experiences to this page.

I had no time to work further on my form project (a self-calculating 
RPG character sheet)...

see widgets manual;

you can edit forms with acrobat reader but not save them; you can however send 
the data to a server;
