Automatically copy text from "master" pdf to other pdf-files

Hi,
I have several different PDF files with formfields. Some information in those files are the same. For example the customer name etc.
In stead of writing the customer name, the date, telephone number etc. in each each single file for each single project, I would like to make a "Master" page from where the information is automatically copied to the other single files.
In Excel it is possible to link cell information from one file to another. Is it possible to do so in pdf-files too?
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and Lifecycle ES 8.2
Thanks in advance.

You can do it using JavaScript in the PDFs

  • Copying texts from orig. lang. to other language by program

    When you make a report you have to write original texts for it. Then if you want offer
    this report to users from different coutries you have to translate all texts. But some times
    it is not necessary to really translate it but only to copy original texts into translated
    texts (so technically the report is "translated" but actually it shows still for example EN
    strings). We use it for excample just for IT programs (having only EN strings but they are
    displayed in EN,DE,CS languages as well). This copying of original text is usually done by
    Goto -> Translation... Selecting target language ...and there by Edit -> Copy source texts
    -> All lines.
    But when you have objects like DDIC structure or DDIC table, you can have your own data elements
    used by the structure and each data element has long, medium, short texts and such. So the copying
    of original texts can be time consuming when your structure has for instance 36 your own data elements
    (i.e. with your own texts).
    Is there some standard report which could do this copying of original texts to translated texts
    automatically after giving a name of object which can have texts (DDIC structure, data element,
    report, domain and such...)?
    Hope my question is clear

    I wrote a program to do exactly this a few years ago for ABAP programs.  Just use READ TEXTPOOL and INSERT TEXTPOOL.
    Use READ TEXTPOOL with the source and the destination language, to ensure you don't overwrite an translations done manually.
    The ABAP help on these should make it clear.
    Now let me think about how it works for DBIC.  IIRC, the texts for these objects are held in some standard tables.  E.g. DD04T for data elements.  I don't know if there are function modules or BAPIs to update these.  But it seems one of the safer areas to do direct mods to standard SAP tables... if you dare.

    Sorry for my bad english.

    I don't know why you wanna use rapidshare for reference, would you know there were many problem about them? Actually I hate rapidshare.
    You can use Acobat to your work easily, as this way has been suggested, I would introduce you another free approach.
    1. Download AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter, which is a totally free desktop applicaiton.
    2. Install and launch the app.
    3. Import PDF files. You can add many files at a time as well as choose the certain page of a file.
    4.Set output folder and click Convert
    Word done and hope that I provide some assistance.

  • Can Pages copy text from one page to another automatically?

    Can Pages automatically copy text from one page to another?
    For example recurring text in a document e.g. addressee details or a date (not today's date).
    I want to type the topic title of one letter and have it automatically filled into the correct field in the next page which will be a letter to a different recipient.
    The letter text will be different for each recipient so mail merge probably won't work.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Thanks that worked great!!!(for the first line)
    Now why wont it populate more than the one other text field?
    F.Lic.Table1.Row1.agt_ssn_lic.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
    F.PAGE3.agt_ssn_1.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
    F.PAGE4.agt_ssn_2.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;

  • Can't copy text from InDesign to other applications

    Hi there,
    Whenever I try to copy text from InDesign to any other applications, it simply fails. When I get to my text editor, email program, Illustrator or Photoshop, it's like the clipboard is empty.
    I'm able to copy shapes and other objects, though. I can also copy entire text boxes, but if I'm copying to Illustrator, for instance, all the lines of text are separated. It's treated as an object and is pretty useless for typical formatting needs.
    I'm on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, using InDesign CS5.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    Thanks for replying!
    I tried unchecking "copy PDF", and also quit the only slightly-clipboard related app I use, Quicksilver, but it didn't fix the problem.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

  • Copy text from PDF and paste to imessage

    Before iOS7 I would be able to copy text from a PDF file and paste it normally into a text message or imessage.  Now when doing the same thing it doesn't paste the actual text I copied, but it pastes as an html attachment.  Have I changed a setting or is this just a bug that needs to be fixed?  Please help.

    I get the PDF in an email and open to view it.  Not sure what the pdf opens in automatically, but that is the way I've been doing it since I've had the iphone 4 and haven't had issues until ios7. 
    I just now tried to opened a file in the default view and then switched it to open in Adobe reader and I can copy and paste normally.  So now i have to do an extra step all the time?

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • Can't Copy Text From PDF Within Gmail Preview

    Hi,
    If I click on a pdf attachment while inside gmail, I get the expected preview window of that PDF. However, I can't copy text from it. If I press Command-C, it just makes a beeping noise letting me know nothing is being copied. If I select text and right-click, there's no 'copy' option. Also, in the top toolbar, Copy is greyed out in the Edit menu. However, if I just hold down Command-C for a couple seconds the text will copy anyways (while hearing a dozen audible beeps). I can copy text without issue using Firefox from the same PDF attachment preview inside Gmail.
    Thanks for any help.
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)

    Having same issue as well. I've had this problem pre-Yosemite and it seems to be Safari related. Copy to clipboard in Gmail preview works fine in Chrome & Firefox, just not Safari. As you indicated if you hold ctrl-c long enough it will eventually copy, just forces you to listen to the series of annoying bongs.
    Also there's no copy to clipboard in the context menu as illustrated below:
    http://i.imgur.com/adyyJO4.png
    Pretty annoying really, I'm not about to download a dozen attached PDFs to copy to clipboard, so now I'm sitting in the Delta lounge with my laptop bonging away as I wait for Safari to copy to clipboard and everyone looks at me like I'm a moron.
    NOTE: No I do not have acrobat or any other software loaded besides vanilla Safari. This has gone on on my MBP, Mac Pro and now this brand new MBP I got Monday as a company upgrade, it literally has nothing installed on it at the moment.

  • How can i copy text from a pdf while in firefox?

    i no longer seem to be able to highlight and copy text from a pdf, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view pdfs.
    how do i turn on the select tool, so i can do this?

    When viewing a PDF with a browser you are using a browse add-on (Adobe's, Firefox's, or some other provider).
    An add-on is not the desktop application; add-ons do not provide the full functionality of the desktop application (Reader or Acrobat).
    To have full use of all Comment and Drawing Markup tools save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI (pre-XI releases do not have the full set of these tools).
    Open the PDF. Annotate as desired.
    Be well...

  • Copying text from PDF to Pages

    I am trying to copy text from a PDF file into Pages, after pasting the copied text into my new Pages document the spacing between most of the text becomes corrupeted,
    for ex.
    "Copying text from PDF to Pages" is imported as "CopyingtextfromPDFtoPages"
    does anyone know how to correct this?

    Rishi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    After reading your post, I tried to duplicate this problem. I opened a PDF, selected a sentence, then copied it to the clipboard. I then opened Pages, selected the blank template, then pasted in the text. It pasted perfectly.
    Does this problem happen with all text in a PDF? With different PDFs?

  • Copying text from PDF files in another language

    When I try to copy text from a PDF file which is written in Greek - the minute I paste it into another document, the text cannot be recognized so comes out as a jumbled mess. How an I solve this problem??

    Into what other document type?  Word?  Do you have a Greek font selected when you paste?  Or a Unicode font?

  • Copying text from pdf, "square" characters

    Using SQL 2005 standard edition.
    I have an issue with pdf generated reports. When copying text from the pdf (from a cell in a table row) the characters are just pasted as "squares" into notepad\word etc. Each character is just a small square. I am using Arial font and not doing anything outside of the norm. This is also an inconsistent problem, it doesnt happen on all cells\tables but only on particular ones. Could it be data specific?
    Anyone come across this before?

    It is not data specific but the format specific. There are many similar issues commonly encountered. The reason is that the format in the clipboard cannot be well recognized by notepad or word. You can refer to this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212318
    From which you can read:"Microsoft Word does not directly support conversion from Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF is the format in which documents are saved for viewing and exchange in the Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat Exchange for Windows."
    For those words if you could not copy/paste successfully, you may use some tools from Adobe company to extract the data from PDF file to some recognized format such as HTML. I know that there is a tool which can do this conversion:
