I have a project that requires the user to fill out a pdf form. I am loading the pdf file into an object tag. On the side I have a list of predetermined values. I would like to enable the user to drag one of those values to a field in the form and drop it there.
I can have them right-click the value, copy it and then right-click and paste in the field, but I would like to create something a little more user friendly.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you.
From what I can find (I was just searching if this was possible as well), and what I know from building forms in Adobe's form builder, this is sadly no possible.

Is there a way to create a VB.Net form that has a document editor in which the user can drag and drop items from a toolbar into the document.
Sort of like this https://corporate.morningstar.com/us/documents/MarketingOneSheets/AWO/ADV_AWO_OfficeReportStudio.pdf
The items that would be dragged in would be Live SSRS reports and we want the ability to the let the end user position them where they want on the document.
I tried finding document controls but I was unable to find one that would fit these requirements.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have an access form in wich a user can enter project details (like project number, name and ordering party etc etc)
I also have a few reports with a header. I would like the values that are entered in the project detail form to be automatically inserted into the header text (orange selected) fields.
How can I do this?
I have added the tags vba and sql, because I am willing to use these ways if it is otherwise impossible to do this.
Probably the most straightforward way to do this would be to set the Control Source of the text boxes on the Report to point to the corresponding text boxes on the Form. So, the Report text boxes would have a Control Source that looks something like:
=[Forms]![Form1]![txtProjectName]
I was wondering if anyone knows what a simplest way to create a data entry form in Sharepoint 2010 Foundation would be. Basicly I am looking to create a form that will submit its data to a custom list on the site, I don't want the users to interact with the list directly but use the form to enter data instead.
Also I can't use Designer or InfoPath, not being able to use these is what is causing the problem it seems. Just curious if anyone else has done something like this or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Every list is born with forms by default - one for item creation, one for edition and one for displaying. If you use content types, then you get a trio of these for each different type.
You never interact with the list directly, you do it through these forms. If you can't use either Infopath nor Sharepoint Designer, you can still edit them by clicking on the Page tab, then the Edit Page button. From there you can add or remove web parts, and connect them among themselves.
However, the amount of control you have is too limited when compared to editing pages through either of the tools or mentioned, or Visual Studio. For example, there is no straightforward way to add or remove list fields based on content type. Be prepared for ever increasing frustration if you can't use those tools.
I have a picture library and added few fields to it. When i click add new item from picture library, the EditForm.aspx appears after uploading the picture. This form contains many fields of which I want to hide Title, Date Picture Taken, Description, and Keyword. In short the EditForm should contain only Name, Preview and the columns that I have added. Is it possible to hide the other columns? I want to perform this out of the box.
Several possibilities.
You can use SharePoint Designer to manipulate the NewForm, EditForm and DisplayForm. Edit the existing form, use CSS to set the out of the box HTML form to hidden, then add a new custom form to the page and remove the columns you don't want to see.
If you don't want to use these columns at all, just delete them in the Library settings
If you don't want to delete the columns, click the parent content type in the Library settings, then edit each column and set it to "hidden"

I found this solution to be really simple and effective. Very well documented and descriptive.
We have following requirement to be done via excel and VBA programming. Please check and let me know if it feasible to do so and if not what way would be best to do it.
There would be excel spreadsheet say excel 2007/2010 with 2 tabs.
1st tab contains normal excel data
In 2nd tab user can enter a particular value and then click on a button in same tab. Is it possibly to have a button in excel tab and can it raise events like windows/web applications?
Now if button can be kept in excel and it can raise button click event then on such an event we need to create xml files. Is it possible to create xml files adhering to schema using excel &/or VBA programming
You need to activate the developer tab (from backstage go to Options and check the visibility of this tab) to get access to normal windows controls, like buttons and drop-down lists etc. You can easily place those in Excel sheets and write event handlers: the controls support the full range of events, including OnClick, OnMouseEnter etc...
You can write custom text files directly from VBA, but you can't validate those. The usual way to do so is just to concatenate small XML blocks into a bigger file, so XML output is more like a normal text output. But it works fine and as long as you do not need to perform something really complicated it is also ok.
EDIT: You can easily add references to custom COM objects (.dll or .ocx) and use them directly in your VBA code. One very helpful suggestion (see the comment below) is to use the MS XML library.
To add a reference just open the code editor (Alt + F11) and then go to Options -> References. Most of the references you need will be already in the list and you just have to check them, but you can also add your own custom libraries by clicking on Browse.
