Help with interactive PDF-sheet

Hi guys. I'm doing a interactive pdf-sheet for my company and i was wondering if its possible to make a form that pushes down the already written text in the document?
Is this possible?

May be possible with forms created by LiveCycle Designer. Post your question in the forum for LiveCycle Designer.

Help! Need help with Interactive PDF

I seems to work fine when I view it in my InDesign CS6 folio Builder. But when I click folio producer to view it, it shows up fragmented when I click on "open" in the Digital Publishing organizer.

You've posted here and the DPS forum and neither one of your posts makes any
sense at all. Please back up and provide full details including screenshots.
If this is a DPS issue and not PDF then please post there.

Extend SAP R/3 4.x with Interactive PDF Forms

Hi there,
In this blog of Matthias Zeller <a href="http:///people/matthias.zeller2/blog/2004/06/22/the-hidden-secret-of-adobe-reader hidden secret of Adobe Reader</a> there is the following paragraph:
<i>While mySAP ERP 2004 provides many business scenarios using Interactive Forms out-of-the-box, a lot of customers have asked me how they can use the new Interactive Forms with existing R/3 applications. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to vote for my SAP TechEd presentation proposal ("Extend your SAP R/3 4.x applications with interactive PDF forms"). I plan to discuss how you can connect your existing SAP R/3 applications with SAP Web AS 6.40 to enable interactive form workflows.</i>
Can somebody tell me if this presentation is somewhere on SDN? Or can somebody tell me where i can find more information about this subject?
Thx in advance.
Regards Maarten.

Hi Maarten,
Here's a brief run-down on how you could make use of SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms and Workflow:
1) Remember that a form is really just a UI for collecting data. A PDF form can be used to collect data online (connected to your SAP system) or offline, e.g. you could send it as a mail attachment, fill it in, and email it to a central point for uploading into the system.
2) The main requirements for using SAP Interactive Forms are:
a) A NW04 (6.40) or NW04s (7.00) WebAs (Java Stack) to run Adobe Document Services. This is the critical component that assigns ReaderRights to the document, e.g. so that the user can change the data and save it on the document. You could run a WebAs like this alongside your R/3 4.7 - e.g. if you have an XI system or Enterprise Portal you could use that system to run Adobe Document Services. Every form you create must be generated via the Adobe Document Services to get the Reader Rights. Note: Get a NW04s environment if you can - as this release has usefuul new features such as loading attachments to the PDF, using digital signatures, etc.
b) A WebDynpro application to generate the Adobe form via Adobe Document Services, and to execute the Adobe Form when using online mode, and to upload offline forms. Tutorials on how to do this are available in SDN - have a look at the Adobe section within WebDynpro. Note: From ECC 5.0 there are some standard WebDynpros apps provided, but in R/3 4.7 you will need to write your own.
c) There's also a licensing requirement for any production custom forms (SAP provided forms and cosmetic changes to those forms are free) so make sure you get your SAP account manager involved to help sort out how your intended usage will fit in with your current license agreement and any discounts that may apply.
3) To use the "form" with workflow has some additional requirements:
a) You need to store the data entered via the form somewhere that is accessible by Workflow. The easiest approach here is to use the standard form handling technique Internet Service Requests. Transaction QISRSCENARIO will let you define all of the form fields, give you BADIs for doing validation, raising workflow events, etc. Also from ECC 5.0 onwards using Adobe forms as the form entry is a standard option for this technique, so this will help reduce the upgrade impact when you eventually do upgrade.
b) Assuming you use ISRs, have your WebDynpro App call the function module ISR_PROCESS_EVENT to pass the data to R/3 and do the validation checks.
c) Assuming you use ISRs, you use the BOR object for notification such as BUS2078, as your main object for the workflow. The form data is attached to the notification and can be retrieved using function module ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET.
d) If you want to call your WebDynpro App from SBWP (I take you don't have Enterprise Portal?) then use transaction WF_EXTSRV to define the web service to call your WebDynpro app and generate a workflow task for it. Also you must configure transaction WF_HANDCUST to enable R/3 to handle web services. Note: If you do have the Enterprise Portal, you can use transaction SWFVISU instead.
I'd strongly recommend you read the ISR cookbook at http://service.sap.com/isr as well. ISRs aren't the only way to use Adobe forms with R/3 but they are extremely handy if you want to use your Adobe form with Workflow.
As for Lotus Notes, you can use your WebDynpro app to generate and send/receive a form to/from an email address. You can also put a hyperlink in your workflow task to call your WebDynpro app and use RSWUWFML2 (swap to Enhanced Notifications when you upgrade) to send out a mail with the hyperlink attached as per usual.
You'll also find some useful threads on Adobe forms and Workflow in the SDN BPM Forum. So if you have workflow specific questions try raising them in the BPM forum.
Enjoy!

Jocelyn

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

WHAT IS GOING ON with Interactive PDFs ????

I'm being hit with 2 terrible interactive PDF issues at the moment. Everyone that receives the document experiences the same thing.
I create my interactive PDFs with InDesign ver 7.5.1. At this point I'm totally unclear as to whether or not this is an ACROBAT issue or INDESIGN issue. So far no one from Adobe has bothered to respond in the InDesign thread. Hoping someone can help here.
Problem 1: Rollover Problem
All my rollover buttons no longer work properly. If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red. No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
Problem 2: Show / Hide buttons
I'm using the show/hide button trick when creating interactive PDFs in which you have a series of buttons that, when clicked, trigger images to appear (which are themselves buttons).
Quite often when you get to a page that utilizes this method, the button/image that's supposed to appear (hide until triggered is UNCHECKED) won't actually show up.
All buttons are on the same layer.
IS ANYONE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES? Any help would be appreciated. This seems to be a fairly serious error on my part, or a serious bug in InDesign and/or Acrobat.

I've been slammed with a deadline and just haven't had time to upload an edited version of my latest PDF and InDesign file for you guys to check out. (I need to remove logos/client names/etc).
What I have noticed, however, is that as far as the Rollover problem goes, previous PDFs that used to work fine now exhibit the same problem. The rollover effect works for a fraction of a second (when the cursor hits the edge of the text box area it would seem), then stops working. I'm going to say at this point that it's an Acrobat Reader/X version problem. There's been very recent updates to both, hasn't there?
The Show/Hide issue listed above has always been a problem with my stuff, so that may or may not be connected to a version issue and may be my fault. I'll post the files as soon as I'm able.
Tnx
Edit: Both problems also exist on the Mac version.

Forms Warning with Interactive PDF from InDesign

Hi all,
I have created an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5 with a series of buttons, and those buttons link to bookmarked pages within the document. These buttons are setup on one of the Masters. It seems that whenever I get more than 10 buttons on the master, I get the following warning when I open the exported PDF in Adobe Reader:
"Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
I don't have any form fields in the document that I am aware of. Is there any way to locate form fields if they do in fact exist?
Is there a limit of 10 buttons per master perhaps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glen

Thanks Peter.
Is there a known workaround? I ended up using hyperlinks instead, I suppose there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

Weird button behaviors with interactive PDFs.

I have created an interactive holiday gift certificate using InDesign CS6 where the user can download the interactive PDF, choose a certificate image, fill in the form fields, and then print and crop. To accomplish the correct functionality, I had to make just about every element a button. I made each certificate image a button so that the radial buttons could have the action to "show/hide" the correct graphic. I also made the header, background color and instructions text into buttons so that I could uncheck the "printable" box (if I leave these as non-printable objects rather than buttons, then they are not visible when exported to interactive PDF), therefor saving the user from printing unnecessary ink while also allowing the ability to print a hidden message thanking the user for using the certificate.
The problem that I am running into, is that if the user accidentally clicks on one of these "buttons" (that is actually an object converted to a button to add the functionality stated above) with no actions assigned, the button is then selected, and the user can not click on any of the real buttons or form fields until after they click completely off of the document to deselect the button. I have tried to circumvent this in numerous ways to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is a link to the certificate:
http://olympiawa.gov/city-utilities/garbage-and-recycling/zero-waste/~/media/Files/PublicW orks/Waste-ReSources/WF-Certificate-Holidays.pdf
Please note, some browsers are not compatible with the functionality of the interactive form, so for best results open using Adobe Reader.

Need Help with this PDF generation

Greetings,
Our company had a subcontractor (that is no longer
available) create a small system for a client that allows the
client to input some text in a flash form, and the system places
the text at a certain spot on a previosly created PDF document. For
80% of the users, this works perfectly and then can print and save
the customized pdf document. For 20% of users, they can see and
print the customized pdf, but when they save it, there is no
customization (area is blank). Can anyone help us understand why
this happens, and how to fix?
HERE ARE DIRECT NOTES FROM OUR CLIENT:
Users are able to input their customized info.
The customized info shows up in the PDF on the brochure.
Users can print the brochure with the customized info.
Users can save the BLANK PDF (without their info)
Users can NOT save the PDF with their info in it.
The exact message is in the top of the window with the PDF
brochure and says "please fill out the following form. You can not
save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if
you would like a copy for your records."
Here is the input
form, feel free to test.
When you input into the brochure1.cfm Form, it sends the data
to
http://www.caduceuswebs.net/brochure1output.cfm
, which then spanwns the customized pdf to open.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
While getting rid of the ";" helps, but the output of the select statement is not displayed?When you do a SELECT statement in PL/SQL, you have to select the results into variables or arrays.
Try something like this:
DECLARE
     CURSOR C1 IS
                   SELECT TABLE_NAME
            FROM    DB_MGMT.CTRL_TAB_RETENTION
            WHERE   RETENTION_PERIOD_IN_MONTHS = 11
            AND     rownum                  < 2;
     min_dt_skey    NUMBER;
     max_dt_skey    NUMBER;
     stmt            VARCHAR2 (100);
BEGIN
    FOR i IN C1
     LOOP
        -- dbms_output.put_line('Table Name: ' || i.TABLE_NAME);
        stmt :='SELECT min(DT_SKEY), max(DT_SKEY) FROM DWH_RSRC_PERF.' || i.TABLE_NAME;
        dbms_output.put_line(stmt);
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt
         INTO min_dt_skey, max_dt_skey;

                    || max_dt_skey   || ' = MAX (dt_skey) for table '

Thankyou. Solved the issue, I remade the folder with the links in, which worked.
Something had obiously gone funny in the folder!

Errors with interactive pdf containing motion paths

I have created an interactive pdf in indesign with simple motion paths. In the preview in indesign it works perfect, but the animations do not work in the exported pdf. This is created in CS6 and I have the creative suite standard installed.

I have tested with both Acrobat Pro X (10.1.1) and Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.0.). Due to IT restrictions I am unable to use such "transfer files" providers, so I am bit stuck. I have tried to put the different animations in layers and in one layer only, with same results. I am
beginning to think that there are internal restrictions that make this happen

Please Help with Converting PDF document to Word Document

Scott Munsen
Abbott House -- Mitchell, SD

Good day Scott,
I received your document via our File Conversion Issue form. The root of the problem you're facing is the quality of the scan. I'm not sure if you were starting with a poor quality hard-copy or simply low DPI settings on your scanner, but the reason the results you received were so different than the PDF was the quality of the input.
If you're hard copy looks clearer than the PDF file you created, I would suggest increasing the resolution settings on your scanner.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
David

Actionscript help with interactive poster

Hi All,
I need some desperate help with a university assignment. I can't find any really good tutorials out there, so I was wondering if there were any kind people out there that I could get some on-on one help from?

If you need one on one guidance for every aspect of the assignment then you probably need to look to your classmates or your instructor.
If you can show what you have done so far and what specific aspect you are having a problem with then someone might offer some help.
