Import fillable pdf into orbeon form

[ashok@orb]

Hi,

Can we design such a form using Orbeon form builder which can be download as
a fillable pdf. Later we could capture data into multiple such downloaded
fillable pdf of same form offline, and able to import those filled pdf form
into existing set of online submitted form.


Thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashok,

If I understand you properly, you would like Orbeon Forms to (1) produce a
PDF (2) with fillable fields, and then be able to (3) import this PDFs which
was filled by users, potentially offline. Is this correct?

Right now, Orbeon Forms does 1, but not 2 and 3. However, adding those
capabilities would be quite inline with the direction of the product, and
maybe something we could implement for you as a "sponsored feature" under a
Dev Support plan, if this is something that could make sense for you.

Hi Vlad,

Nothing yet. But for reference, this is tracked as request for enhancement
#3605, and I added a +1 from you.

However, we've been working on a similar Excel import feature, which should
be included in Orbeon Forms 2021.1.
