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. For more complicated PDFs (tables.etc..), consider using the paid PDFescape Ultimate version. Refer to the mapping rule guide lines in the table below.

Do not use Adobe LiveCycle to create or edit acroforms. Live Forms cannot process PDFs created with this platformThe 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.

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.

Open the form/flow designer. Notice the addition of the Form Viewer control to the palette. The form viewer control is available in the form editor's palette, as well.
Drag and drop the Form Viewer control from the palette into your form. If you are using the flow designer, select the step in the form/flow where you want the PDFs to be viewed by clicking on it and then click on the pencil icon to launch the Form Designer. It can not be placed in a repeat or table control. You will need a Form Viewer control for each PDF that you want to be reviewed. The generated form will display in Link Mode. Select the PDF to be viewed for each control from the Form dropdown. If you used templatized strings when naming your template, it will show the template unresolved in the drop down.
