If you cannot find an acroform to use, there are tools available to create one. PDFescape is a free pdf editor that can be used to create a pdf with writable fields. Refer to the mapping rule guide lines in the table below.
| Warning |

The tool that Adobe uses to create PDF's does not support integration with third party software. Use PDFescape to generate acroforms for mapping with Live Forms. |
Some acroforms may not have a writable field for all of the data that you want to collect. For example, the signature field on such forms as the I-9 or W-4 acroforms. The Employee On Boarding form/flow collects information to populate the W-4 PDF after the new employee completes the screen flow. Another step of the flow asks the new employee to review the PDF and sign if the information is correct. Mapping the signature to the generated PDF cannot be accomplished unless there is a writable field in the W-4 template. You can use a PDF editor such as PDFescape to add a writable field for the signature to your acroform template. signatures are treated as images that can be mapped to text fields so be sure to add the acroform field as a text field. Upload the modified acroform as your PDF template.

The uploaded template will be added to the list of the PDFs to be generated.

You can set up logic for the PDF via a precondition that will control when the PDF will be generated or it can be used to skip the PDF entirely. For Example, currently the only way to disable a template is to use a precondition that always evaluates to false and it will be skipped.
...
PDF forms are generated as the last step(s) of a form/flow or when the Form Viewer control is clicked. All other activities are completed prior to the execution of any form generation activities. PDF forms are generated by using the mapping meta data entered by the user to map the e-form field data into the PDF's acroform fields. Precondition properties are supported for form generation activities and operate in a standard fashion, i.e. if the precondition evaluates to true, the activity executes.
...
A simple work-around is to put a control by the same name into the second form and uncheck the visible property. Then add the same rule to the second form to populate it. Workflows designed using Linked Activities, should not exhibit this behavior. Linked steps in flow are like a single form broken into pieces. Flows using this design pattern have a single schema which includes fields from all its steps. So when fields from a flow are mapped to a PDF, there is nothing like future fields from the PDF point of view. It is mapped to the controls in a single schema or document.

When the generation of Pixel Perfect PDFs for your form/flow is completed, and you have saved the updates, click on the Test icon and run the form/flow and submit it. When you get to the form with the Form Viewer control, be sure to check the generated Pixel Perfect PDFs such as the W - 4 etc.

If you are using MySql and you are running/submitting a form/flow with a large acroform, you may see this message: The default value of max_allowed_packet configuration parameter may not be large enough. See this documentation for the solution. |
