Editing a doc created in lifecycle using pdf

I have a document that was created using lifecycle es, the document was saved as a static pdf. I am responsible for making documents 508 compliant before being posted to the internet. When I access the document it comes up in adobe pro 9 (which is the version of pdf I have installed). I can run a full accessibility check. I receive an accessibility error that indicates there is no language specified for this document. I normally correct this problem by going to properties and simply selecting English. However with this document the language area, as well as everything else on the page, is grayed out and will not allow me to make the correction. When looking as the security summary "changes to this document" are not allowed. Also I cannot change the reading order in the order panel.
Can anyone tell me if there is anyway to change this or if this is true.
If I cannot update a lifecycle document on the pdf side how do I make the document compliant? My lifecycle is es2, I have seen that es4 has an accessibility checker which I assume would resolve my problem. Does anyone know if ES4 is bought as a separate product, right now I have adobe pro x 9 and it seems lifecylce was part of that package.
Sorry for so many questions but I'm in a real bind.
Thanks

Here's some info for accessibility using LiveCycle Designer. You need to do this in Designer, not Acrobat.

I'm afraid I can't help more than that, I've read up on it but we haven't been mandated to implement yet.

Can I edit the email created to send a PDF form back to me when a user clicks on Submit?

I created several PDF fillable forms for our users to request services and send back data needed to deliver those services. They are simple forms, and users will click on Submit to return to a mailto: address.
My question is about the email message that is auto-created when the user clicks on Submit. I can't find any config window to be able to edit the message in the body of the email. The message reads:
Form Returned: 2014PrintingRequestForm.pdf
The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
Is there any way to edit this message?

majende,
Adobe Reader for iOS does support a Submit button.

Do you use the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF form?
For option (a)
Add the "Submit a form" action to your Submit button.
Enter "mailto:" (including a colon) followed by email recipient(s). Please add a comma between two email addresses.
Example: [email protected], [email protected]
Select "PDF The complete document".
This particular type of PDF form will work with Adobe Reader desktop and mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
In Adobe Reader for iOS, a user can do the following steps to submit the particular type of PDF form.
Fill out the PDF form.
Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.
Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the Share File dialog.
Adobe Reader for iOS will automatically fill in the email address(es) that you specified when you created the PDF form.

Creating Electronic Binders Using PDF Portfolio - Commenting and Highlighting

For a few years now I have been using Portfolios to create electronic versions of binders. Users want to be able to review, search, highlight and comment within the PDFs - and each have a copy with their comments. Security is also a big deal. My main question is: Is using Adobe Portfolios the best solution for making an electronic binder, or does Adobe or another vendor offer a better one? Recently I saw a product called GDoc Binder that looks promising. For now using the Portfolios is the best solution I know of.
Problems with the current solution: Right now I have to create multiple copies of the document to allow users to comment and highlight on their own copy. File size can be problematic - if it's too big searching can take a long time even after I index the file. Updating and adding sections is problematic since if you update a page or file you could lose their comments, and so I have to update multiple copies of the same file. I know you can export and import comments but that can be complex/time consuming. One question I have: Is there a search and/or report on comments and highlights from the full Portfolio rather than just one at a time?
Since Adobe Pro X I have had to use a custom template from PracticalPDF.com to recreate the list navigation of Adobe Pro 9. I did see another post saying that the use of Flash with Portfolios mean that it's day are numbered. Question: I am curious if this is true, and if Portfolios using Flash are becoming obsolete, what Adobe Pro would use for an alternative?
Thank you in advance for any insight and answers - it is greatly appreciated.

Generation of report in landscape mode using PDF template

Hi,
I am creating a report using pdf template, I have used the repeating group i.e I have used the code <?rep_field="BODY_START"?> and <?rep_field="BODY_END"?> as the repeating area and with the field which needs to be repeated i have used the code <?rep_field="T1_G1"?> in order to display data in the loop.
But finally when the report is displayed, the report acts strange ...sometimes it fails to open says that an internal file read error occured , whereas if I remove the <?rep_field="T1_G1"?> code it works fine , other times if at all it displays the report, the values in the repeating field operlap each other and they are vertically oriented wheras for landscape mode it should be vertical, I tried setting the properties and locking the fileds but all in vain.
Kindly help ASAP!!
Thankz

You can use the File Sharing feature at the bottom of the iTunes Apps pane when you connect to iTunes. Transfer the documents to your computer, and from there to your iPhone.

Can not edit Word docs after converting from a ExportPDF file. The PDF file is converted into a non-editable Word Doc image.

Converting a PDF file (scanned copy Adobe Reader X) to a Word Doc using ExportPDF conversion. The Word Doc created is a image file which is not editable. I need an editable Word Doc file.

Hi robertw,
Can you please tell me more about how the PDF was created? (If you don't know, choose File > Properties, and look for the PDF Producer on the Description tab.)
If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF creator, it may be that it's not well-written, and that can affect the quality of the conversion. See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.
That said, you may be able to select the text by triple-clicking in the Word document.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to convert a PDF to an editable Word Doc

I have Acrobat 9 Pro and I'm trying convert a scanned PDF document to an editable Word doc. I've ran OCR on the document but I'm still losing some text and formatting. What can I do to improve the integrity of the conversion?

The OCR is very dependent on the quality of the scan. You might try testing with various scanning options on a sample page. Typically 300 dpi is the minimum for OCR, but some folks like 600 dpi. If the page is clean, with no dust or other imperfections and the text is crisp, you should be able to do reasonably well. It is probably best to run the corrections steps after the OCR (looking at suspects) and editing appropriately.
The conversion to WORD should not be expected to be real clean in terms of retaining format. You need to look to using style sheets in WORD to simplify the format fixes. Then run the spell check and grammer checker (you might end up with a better document than you started with). There is not a lot more you can do with Acrobat.
You do have the options of ClearScan and Searchable Text. In one version of Acrobat, ClearScan used some strange fonts (not system fonts) that did not convert well to WORD. I was able to get a better result with Searchable Text in that case. I have not played with OCR that much, and so am just giving some comments of things I have run into.

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?
Help! That is why I bought this software!

Hi linda007,
If you can't edit the file once it's converted to Word, it could be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and then image text wasn't converted to searchable text. ExportPDF should perform Optical Character Recognition by default, but it can be disabled in Reader. Do you know whether OCR was disabled when you converted the page? If it wasn't, make sure that the correct language was selected for OCR. This option appears at the bottom of the ExportPDF panel in Reader, and in the Document Language (for Text Recognition) pop-up menu that appears after you select your file to convert in the ExportPDF online service.
If everything seems to have been set correctly, and you still can edit the text, please try triple-clicking to select the text in Word. Did that do the trick?
Best,
Sara

How to edit word doc converted from PDF

I converted a PDF to a Word docx, and need to edit the doc. How do I do this?

As you would any other document. The problem is likely that you had scanned to PDF and never ran OCR. Thus the DOC file is a collection of pictures and no text. You either have to edit the graphic to fix the text or go back to the PDF and do OCR first. Use Searchable PDF to enable useful fonts for the DOC file.

Using docs created w/ different wordpro program

Is it possible for Pages to read docs I created on my old iMac using Appleworks? Is there a way to transfer these files from a cd to my newer computer so I can print/revise/edit these docs in Pages or do I need a different wordprocessing program?

This question often responded,
Pages is able to open most AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents.
Numbers is able to open most AppleWorks 6 Spreadsheets documents.
Keynote is able to open most AppleWorks 6 Presentation documents.
If you have DB documents, only AppleWorks may open them.
If you have Draw documents, there is a third party which if I remember well is able to open them but I forgot its name.
If you have Paint document, you will be forced to open them with Appleworks then export them in a public format.
If the AppleWorks available on your old imac is an AW6 one, copy the entire AppleWorks 6 folder on a CD then copy it in the Applications folder of your new machine. Don't forget to remove it from the old imac.
Assuming that it's a very old AW6, it will not be usable directly but you will be able to apply the AW 629 updater and so it will be OK for years.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples : LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2
Thanks

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Problems viewing PDF documents created on a scanner using PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)

We multiple Xerox scanners and not all of them operate on the same version of software/firmware. 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) when scanning a doucment to our network and 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). When using Adobe Reader 9.x both documents open properly and are 100% visible. After upgrading to Adobe Reader X, the scans created using the newer version of PDF (1.6) have some missing text/images on the pages and have a grey "overlay" on the page. Again, Reader 9 will view both files properly, but Reader X will not. Any help is appreciated. I have fiddled around with several of the view settings to no avail. Thanks.

That is hardly a solution, the whole purpose of upgrading to Adobe Reader X is to avoid potential threats. There is obviously a problem with Adobe Reader X and veiwing certain documents that needs to be addressed and the way to address it should not reside with "Use Adobe 9 and Adobe 10 and pick whatever version works for your document"
