I know about PDFlib for automatic PDF generation, server-side. Is there something comparable that will generate fillable forms on the fly, complete with a submit-action and security settings that prevent printing/copying? That seems like the ideal solution for online assessments to prevent cheating (would need to add some JavaScript that catches PrintScreen keypresses).
Or if there isn't such a thing, is anyone working at it?
Volker,
This Planet PDF web page has 42 different PDF form tools listed. <http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=549&TBCategoryID=11> I know some of them are server-side but not sure if they do everything you want.
Volker,
You can convert all your forms into fillable and (locally!!!) saveable
immediately. This is a free service from http://www.FillinDocs.com and
http://www.savePDF.com.
The fillable/saveable forms allow the user:
To insert text anywhere on page.
To export and import text (along with text size, text color, text
font, text position) -- for all the form, for any page, or for any
range of pages -- by a click of button.
To change text size, font, color, vertical and horizontal positions --
for all the form or for any line -- by a click of button.
To type in text of any length to fit in the fill-in space regardless
of the size of the space.
To copy line into line, a set of lines into a set of lines, or a page
into a page -- by a click of button.
To have the text perfectly aligned horizontally and vertically.
To reset (delete, erase) all the text inserted into the form or a line
by a click of button.
To convert a fill-in space rectangle to visible or hidden
automatically every time the rectangle is in focus.
To convert the text color to black automatically every time the PRINT
button is pressed.
To avoid the scrolling affect.
To submit any technical support questions by a click of button.
All 16,831 U.S. Fedforms already converted to fillable and saveable.
