Forms or Interactive PDF
Hi!

I need to make a field research. I have a kindle papperwhite and i thought maybe i could use it. Anyone can give me a hand?

I've tryed a interactive pdf to fill up the forms ( checkboxes only ) but failed.

A workaround would be using a website for it. But as a field research goes, the chances to not have internetacess is high. Is it possible to acess html pages offline ( on kindle itself ) ?

Anyway to make interactive pdf function?

Any other idea?

Thanks for reading!

No, you can't use interactive forms on a Paperwhite (other than on a website).

So I see 3 solutions if your PaperWhite firmware is lower than 5.6.x and you have some spare time to JB it.

Here are 3 solutions:

0) First use JailBreak https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645 and KUAL https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203326 (you'll need it for any of these applications)

1) Try some other reader application to use interactive pdf to fill up the forms:
KOreader https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=209276
Hacked Up Reader https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=13

2) Try other web-browser for offline forms usage
Skipstone https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...50&postcount=8
Midori https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=210437

3) Try alternative means to in your case I have some suggestions:
The simple one is to use a LeafPad https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=11 - text editor
The best one(I think) is KindleReminder from Kindle Menu pack https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225860 - simpe TODO tasker, but looks and feels like forms I don't know your needs but it's perfect in my opinion.

Also you can ask Aeris or any other people on development forum to tweak KindleReminder for changes you need in it, they might just help.

P.S. List of most of KUAL applications https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=205064 maybe you'll find something else ))

P.P.S. Also maybe it's worth mentioning Gargoyle (IF player) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=223455 it's like step-by-step linear question/answer/reaction player, it can be used to remember choices, or even show results like in psychological tests, but I know nothing about all "Supported formats" or how these "games" can be created.

Thanks very much. Truly.

But soon as i can JB it i will try it out.
