The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PDF Form - remove buttons?

Asked by MichaelEvangelista in ColdFusion Application Server, Cold Fusion Markup Language, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: Coldfusion, PDF, CFPDFFORM, Acrobat, LiveCycle

I am working on a small government site that will contain a number of PDF forms which can be completed online and submitted via 'cfpdfform'. So far i have the submission working great, saving a copy of the actual completed pdf on the server and stripping out all of the submitted data , which is saved in a database with a datestamp and other important info.

These forms are being created in LiveCycle by staff members, with specific formatting and details determined by them. Fortunately CF makes it super easy to 'talk' to these forms.

The only issue I cannot sort out at this stage - each form has a "submit" button, which passes the data and the PDF itself to a receiving coldfusion page. When viewing the stored copy of the PDF after submission, along with all the user's info filled in, the 'submit' button is still there. This means the user can submit a form, click a link to view/print his completed copy, and then easily click the 'submit' button again, going round and round.

*Q*
Is it possible to remove or disable specific PDF Form buttons with coldfusion?

I looked at the 'flatten' option, but that appears not to work with LiveCycle created forms.
