How do I creat a filliable form from a scan document?

How do I create a fillable form from a scan word document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Hi melaniev10032955,
You might need to follow these steps to convert word into fillable PDF form:
Open the scanned word document
Click File> Print> Adobe PDF
A PDF file would be created that would automatically open in Acrobat XI pro
At this point, you would have a basic PDF file which still needs to get converted into fillable form
Choose "Tools> Text Recognition> In this File" to run OCR to make your scanned doc searchable.
Now, go to "Tools> Forms> Create"
Acrobat will ask some questions. On the first screen, make sure 'Use an existing file' is selected and then click Next.
On the next screen, 'Use the current document' must be selected.
You might need to edit few fields manually. Then, just click Preview button on the top and check how you PDF form appears.
Try this out and let me know if you face any problem.
Regards,
Anubha

In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

How do I create forms from a scan document

I work with scans and regular pdf docs which require text boxes to be placed and then text added. Some of the text is repetitive like Name and Address etc but some maybe unique like price and quantity. How do I create a form so all blank spaces or underlined spaces get a text box and is it possible to add a macro which will fill the text boxes with the repetitive stuff. Thanks

You will need the Professional version of Acrobat because this version provides the Acrobat Forms Tool and LiveCycle Designer program either of which can create form fields. You choice of product will depend upon what you want to accomplish and how well either product will meet that need. Both products can connect to SQL data bases and both can import data from properly formatted files.
You might want to OCR the scans and add tags to the elements of the OCRed document so you could use the "automatic field recognition" feature of version 8. Not perfect,but it could save work.

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>

</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

Creating a PDF form from a docx or xlsx

Hello,
Pulling my hair out over here... Can you help me out?
I am trying to create a PDF form from either a word or an excel file.
When I choose File > Create > PDF Form, I get the dialouge box asking to use either a file or scan from paper. Choosing file, then hitting next shows the choice of current document or browse for file. I browse for file, find my docx file, but it shaded out. Docx or xlsx does not appear in the "show" drop down below, which suggests that this function doesn't support these formats. HUH?
I have read & watched the tutorials linked below, both of which clearly say Word and Excel are supported.

Then I noticed a difference in the create window from the video, to my version...
The video says "(PDF, Word, Excel or other file format)":
My pop-up says ONLY PDF:
Whats going on?
I am using:
MAC OSX 10.7.4
Office 2011 MAC
Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3
Only way I can create a Form from Word files is to first print it to PDF, then use the form wizard on the PDF file... Which seems to have POOR results in auto-recognizing fields.
PLEASE HELP Adobe!
Thanks.

I just got Acrobat X for my mac, for a class. I am SO frustrated. Almost everything in the class focuses on PDFMaker options. The 'save as adobe pdf' or save as pdf options have zero functionality. So I now own PDF software that doesn't really function on a MAC, and have to go to a windows machine. I keep reading that it is a Microsoft problem, but I don't know how that can be when the software I thought I bought is this fancy PDF software that converts everything!!
I asked a tech today if there were 'any' adobe work-arounds for this and basically the answer is to save PDF with no attribute functionality. Period.
Wasted $$ for me

How do I create a Pdf form for others?

I have finally figured out how to make a pdf form, but my client wants to be able to attach the file to his e-mail and send it to his relations.
How do I create a pdf form with his adress in stead of my own e-mailaccount?
Tried to adjust my id in the preferences on my Mac, but that is not a safe way I guess...
Can anybody help me out, I'm stuck...
Bob

Yes, I want to enable the client's relations to be able to click on a link
in the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his e-mail address.
Now a purple bar shows up when a 'relation' opens the pdf form.
In this bar is a button included for sending the form, but they have to
confirm the adding of their reaction to the 'reactions-file'. This refers to
the location where I authenticallly saved the file (on my hard disk).
I can adjust the reply e-mail adress by temporarily adjusting my id in
Acrobat preferences, but I don't know the future location of the reaction
file.
It's a difficult question, but it's based on the question: Is it possible to
make a pdf form for somebody else; so they can send en receive the reactions
on their moment and their wanted location?

hi bob
are you saying the email address is on the pdf as plain text? or are you
wanting to enable the client's ³relations² to be able to click on a link in
the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his email address?

How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
Any help would be apprecaited.

This is how:
Go to:
'File'
'Share'
'Quicktime'
'Expert Settings'
'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
Enjoy!
P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.
