Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - Automate inserting signature & fields into document to be split

Hi,
I am a beginner with a huge task I am trying to automate. Not sure its possible but here goes. I am getting ready to "print" my 200+ teacher contracts to a PDF file from my Filemaker Pro database. This creates one big PDF file with just over 200 "pages" as each contract is a page. Is there an easy way to insert two check boxes, a signature box, date field, print and e mail button on each page before I split the document into 200 individual pages to be emailed to each teacher or is this not an efficient way to handle it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any form element can be duplicated. After you create them on the first page, right-click on them using the Select Object Tool and select Duplicate.
You should be able to make copies of them on all the pages using this method.

Adobe Acrobat Pro : Problèmes avec le porte-document

Bonjour,
Je viens vers vous car j'ai quelques soucis avec un porte-document PDF.
Tout d'abord, je suis sous Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.0.0.
J'ai créé un porte-document PDF en vu de créer un ebook, et pour cela je suis allé sur internet voir des tutoriels pour la mise en page.
Or dans ces fameux tutoriels, ils ont la même interface que moi mais des panels d'options beaucoup plus vastes.
Je voulais savoir si cela était dû à une version supérieure ou s'il fallait installer un plug-in ?
Si oui quelle version? Et sinon quel plug-in?
En vous remerciant par avance
Thomas

Tout d'abord, je suis sous Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.0.0.
Je voulais savoir si cela était dû à une version supérieure…
Bonjour,
Oui, la réponse est la question : il faut impérativement effectuer la mise à jour en 9.5.5 (la dernière version, voir : http://goo.gl/s22UI0 ).
Les autres "layouts" que tu vois dans les tutos sont apparus avec la version 9.1

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with an HP Officejet G85

For some reason Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 will not recognize the Document Feeder on the HP Officejet G85 All-in-One. I put the Doc into the feeder tray, I open Acrobat Pro 9 and go to Create >> Scanner >> Color Scan. It will only use the flatbed scanner, I went through all the settings and cannot locate any where to tell it to use Doc feeder. One caveat I tried a "free to try" scanning program and it recognized the feeder and worked fine.(Please don't suggest using the "free to try" program I see no reason to buy another program, after buying Acrobat Pro 9)
I am using:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - ver 9.4.1
HP Officejet G85 All in One

Have you tried scanning using Scanner native interface once? If yes, were you able to scan using ADF from that route?
If not here's how you can do it:
1: go to Create > PDF from Scanner.
2: Click on the button [Options] next to Scanner name and set the User Interface as Show Scanner Native Interface.
Now when you click Scan button, you will see Scanner's Native Scan settings window. Hopefully, there will be a setting for selecting the source for scanning (flatbed or adf). Select ADF and scan.
Please give it a try and update.
Thanks.

Do I have to install Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit PDF files?

I am subscribed to Adobe PDF Pack.
I want the ability to drag and drop to insert, delete, and arrange pages. So it appears I need Adobe Acrobat Pro. Is that correct?
If I upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro, do I have to install anything on my PC? Or can I simply drag and drop to insert, delete, and arrange pages online (in my browser) using the same login I use now for Adobe PDF Pack?
I don't want to install anything. Hence my question.
Thank you!
Bob

Hi robertm33760217,
Yes, You would need Adobe Acrobat Pro to insert, delete, arrange pages.
Yes, You would need to Instal the Acrobat software on your pc as Acrobat software won't work with your browser.
Do you have any other query?

I get prompted to select a scanner and a scan profile/preset each time I try to scan a document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Hello,
I have a fujitsu scanner (fi-6140) connected to my computer and have the "Scan" button on the scanner associated with Adobe Acrobat. And so when I press the "Scan" button on the scanner to scan a document, it launches Adobe Acrobat Pro automatically. Then I get prompted to select a scanner/device and a scan profile. It seems to remember the last-used scanner/device, however; it still prompts me each time to confirm the scanner/device selected and select a scan profile to use. Is there a way to save both the scanner & scan profile information and so when I click the "Scan" button, it doesn't prompt me to select but starts scanning using the last-used settings automatically?
Thank you.

IMac. Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.1. Since I installed Yosemite, cannot insert a pdf document into a pdf document. What's my upgrade?

I have an iMac with Yosemite. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro van 8.3.1.
I am unable to insert a pdf document into a pdf document. I go to Document/Insert in the menu bar, get a spinning ball, can do nothing with the app except force-quit.
What's my upgrade? I cannot find one. Do I have to pay full price for a version that will work?

Your version of Acrobat is quite old and not compatible with any current OS, so problems are to be expected. It is too old to qualify for an upgrade as well, so if you want the current version (XI) then you need to purchase a new license, which you can do via the Adobe Products Page.

Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9 and X): creating limitations in a group of fields.

Hello,
I am building a fillable questionnaire form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X.
Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Win_win

Thanks for your explaination although I am aware of both functions and thats why I chose one over the other.
I can understand that with more experiences with scripts or the software, you can 'play' with the function much easier and better than I could as I'm quite junior to all of these. So I appreciate if you can bare with me as I try to explain what troubles I have and ways I had tried to solve them.
The trouble I have, is Radio buttons have pre-set options and thus would not allow end user to write down their own value. But what I need, is the value and the limitations that the end user could only choose 1 of the 3 options from a group. (Note that I am not using any scripts so I'm using the softwares' function as-is.) In other words, if the group for 1 button has answers as A, B, or C. I want to know how much of A. And not a pre-set value of A. If the end user chose A, then B and C would not be chosen. As it's either the quantity of A, or B, or C.
Also, what I did not understood from your message earlier today was what is a 'nullstring' in a text field and how to create that?
It seems from your response earlier that I could solve my problem with either Radiobuttons or, Checkboxes.
If I were to use checkboxes, then how can I 'add a control to make the text field read-only when one of the checkboxes has been selected' as you've suggested?
Is one option better than another? At managing responses received?
I will have to repeat this for quite an amount of questions I have for the form, so whichever that is easier to achieve and would produce minimum problems /errors, would be preferred.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

Hi williamc48321229,
You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.

Hope this helps.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.
