I'd like to create a pdf that allows forms to be filled and printed, but not saved?

My client does not want employees to save potentially sensitive data to their computers, but would like the forms to be interactive and allow for employees to fill in the form, print it and submit the hardcopy. This doens't have to be 100% bulletproof but should raise the level of obfustication where most user's cannot save filled in data.

For business I agree. Its an advantage for people to fill out forms that need to be sent in.
Looks like what they should do is add a section in the enable Reader Rights to disallow saving of PDF as a checkbox.

Creating a pdf that contains forms

I am trying to create a pdf that combines three pdfs and several forms that I created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I have enabled using Reader to complete the forms so that they can be saved once completed.
My problem is that when I try to combine file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, it won't let me add the forms because they are Adobe XMS forms.
I did not intend to save the forms as XML forms, so I'm wondering how to save the forms so that they can be combined into one pdf.
I tried the portfolio option, but feel that this format will be confusing to the people who need to use the packet.

I actually found a workaround, although it doesn't save a lot of work...
I opened the form I created in Designer in Acrobat, and then I printed it to a file. That generated a post-script file, which I ran through the Distiller to create a new pdf that is unaffected by the XML problem.
Yes, I had to re-enter my fields, but at least I didn't lose all of the work - and formatting - I did in Designer.

How do i create a website that allows customer to upload images and text?

I need some help i have a friend who has asked me if i can create a website that allows them to upload their own images and text at their leisure.
His company is in the car sales trade so they need to regularly be updating their stock, and this needs to be done by somebody with limited computer knowledge so ease of use is fairly important.
I am using dreamweaver cs4 on a G5 Imac running Snow leopard 10.6.8, my skills are limited to creating uncomplicated websites but i am very keen to learn, i am aware of content management systems such as Druplal but have zero knowledge on how to use these.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Although putting together a form that would upload images and all the descriptions required seems like a fairly straghtforward project, depending on your current skill set.

There are some websites that are available on my desktop and smartphone, but not on my laptop. How do I fix this?

I can access almost all web sites on my desktop, laptop, and smartphone, but there are a few that will load on the desktop and smartphone, but will not load on my laptop, with either Firefox or IE. There is no error message, and the animated icon that should show that the site is loading doesn't move at all. This is very frustrating, because it sometimes means that I miss important webinars, etc. Some of the sites I can't load are not long links, just the basic URL.
My internet service has been unable to help, and Norton tech support tried but also was unable to resolve the problem.
I've tried resetting Firefox to the default, but it didn't help. Note again that the web sites that are a problem will not load in either Firefox or IE on the laptop, but do load properly on the desktop and smartphone.

PDF forms that can be printed but not saved - possible?

Does anyone know if it is possible to do the following:
- First of you create PDFs that you would put on to a web site.
- The user would then fill in fields on this PDF form when they access it.
- This would create a completed form which the user could then print but they would be unable to save it.
Is this possible?
Someone mentioned Adobe LiveCycle Designer to me. Can this be used to achieve all this? Or what software would be needed or would you recommend to do this?
Thanks.

I have a PDF that it was send to me and I can not print the content

I have a PDF file send to me to fill the blank , now that I did finish on my print it does not show the content I did typed?

Is this a form? If so, are you filling it out using Mac Preview? If so, fill out the form using Adobe Reader instead.

Save a pdf with security so vendors can only import & print but not extract?

We submit ads to newspapers all the time in pdf format...the newspaper imports the pdfs into their page layout program (Quark) for printing...currently we do not put any security on the pdfs because the vendors can not import the pdf into their page layout program Quark with security on.
Is there a way we can set security so the only thing the newspaper can do is import the pdf into Quark (or a page layout program) and print?
We would like to restrict the use of exporting artwork and copy from the pdf as well as saving the pdf as different formats.

How do you create a PDF that shows up on the opening of an e-mail

I use to be abel to create a PDF that I could drag onto the desktop of an email and it would show up as part of the e-mail when opened as well as an attatchement. Is there an actual procedure for creating one or is it random? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't?

There is no procedure. Whether it shows up or not is purely dependent on the receivers email application and their preferences.
As always, I suggest if you want to do something like that, you should create an HTML email. There's a bit more control although it isn't foolproof either.

Create a PDF that mimics the flyer

I want to create a PDF that you can "flip through." I've seen it done before, but I'm not sure how to do it. I am creating a flyer and I want to send it electronically, but I want the readers to be able to still flip through the flyer as they would if it were in print. The way I have seen it done is there are arrows under the flyer and they click the forward arrow and the screen makes the image look like it's opening and then it displays the inside...same thing when they move to the back cover.
Anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thanks for any help in advance! I really appreciate it.

I bet this has flash features.

Which Adobe product can create a PDF that cannot be altered or printed by the recipient?

Which Adobe product can create a PDF that cannot be altered or printed by the recipient?

Hi quoman,
It sounds like you're asking how to add security to a PDF file. You'll need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do that. If you don't have Acrobat, you may try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

How can I create a PDF that conforms to PDFX/1-a:2001 form Pages

I have a 358 page B&W document created in PAGES - I need to submit this to the printers (Lightning Source) as a PDFX/1-a:2001. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and Distiller. However, pdfs created by PAGES cannot be converted by Acrobat into PDFX/1-a:2001 (at least I haven't been able to figure out how to!). The solution proposed by Lightning Source is to:
print to a Postscript file first, then process the PostScript file using Adobe Acrobat Distiller Professional Version 6 or newer.
This allows you to produce a PDF that is of optimal compliance with our printing process (PDFX/1-a:2001 recommended)
The problem is that when PAGES creates the Postscript file it doesn't retain the correct sizing - it shifts it from 216x140mm to Letter size (the original document shifts to the lower-left corner surrounded by blank page). This size change continues when Distiller creates the PDFX/1-a:2001 so their solution doesn't work.
Anyone who has actually achieved this or with suggestions - all advice gratefully received!

Peter, thank you for your suggestions - I was a bit daunted by the colorsync filters, etc., however, after much searching I've put together an apparent solution. I'll find out if it works in a few days when Lightning Source get back to me:
Creating a Lightning Source pdf from a Pages document
Here is a walkthrough of the process I go through to create PDF in the format Lightning Source requires for B&W inner text - PDFX/1-a:2001. You need PAGES, ACROBAT DISTILLER and ACROBAT PROFESSIONAL.
In PRINT dialog go to the PDF button and select SAVE AS POSTSCRIPT.
Open this Postscript file in Distiller, it should save it as PDFX/1-a:2001.
If the page size is incorrect go to the following instructions.
Your pdf should be ready now to go to LS.
IF THE PAGE SIZE HAS BEEN MODIFIED
This was my major challenge as OS X’s export to Postscript seems to modify the file to A4 or Letter size. You need the following Applescript (thanks to Gregory Ledger for this essential tool):
http://macproductionartist.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/really-cropping-pages-in-acr obat/)
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro" tell active doc repeat with i from 1 to count of pages tell page i set cbox to crop box set media box to cbox end tell end repeat end tell end tell
With your new pdf opened in Acrobat Professional use the DOCUMENT: CROP PAGES dialog box.
Set the margins of the Crop Box to the required dimensions.
Keep the pdf open in Acrobat Pro.
Now run the APPLESCRIPT above - this modifies the pdf so that the page size is modified to match the new crop size.
Save your pdf and this should now be ready for use at LS.
Gregory Ledger also recommends exporting the cropped pdf to Postscript and then running this through Distiller again to ensure any artefacts are removed.
Thanks again for your time and suggestions, Richard

Creating a .pdf that someone can sign digitally

Where I work we FAX out hundreds of drawings per year for customers to sign. These are 8.5" x 11" documents usually between one and five pages. Is there anyway to create a .pdf that that has some kind of signature line or signature button that the customer can click to indicate approval of the drawing? This would alleviate the need for both the original FAX and for the customer's return FAX. I know how to create the .pdf but don't know how to put in a signature option.
We are using Adobe CS3. We also have Adobe Acrobat 9 and LiveCycle Designer ES2.
Thank you.

With Acrobat 8 (Pro or 3D) or Acrobat 9 (Standard, Pro, Pro Extended) you can "Reader enable" a PDF.
One thing this provides is that users of Adobe Reader (back to, I think, Reader 7.(something)) can use the Comments & Markup tools.
So, you send me this PDF of a drawing. It is "Reader enabled".
I use Adobe Reader (knowing "good tools" is "good business", I'm using Reader 9 - fully updated <g>).
I open the PDF. I add a "Sticky Note", maybe add some text, and use the Options drop-down to go to Set Status > Review > Accepted.
Maybe I get fancy and go into the Sticky Note Properties to change the "appearance" from the default "Comments" to one of the other icons available.
You get the annotated PDFs back. Perhaps an individual PDF has more than one annotation.
Open the Comments List. Looking over the Tool bar for this you will see that you can show/hide/sort and output PDF reports.
Of course, a small learning curve is involved.
Pay off is that the turnips go to market via a truck versus a horse drawn cart (fax). 8^)
Be well...

I would like to create the a swatch, add it to the library and import to the swatch panel. The help pages available relate to earlier versions of Muse, which does not work with the 2014.2 release version that I have. I have created a library folder, imported the colour swatch as just 4 colours as a mulib file. I drag the four colours on to the muse page in design view but that is as far as I get. Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for

Thanks so much. I downloaded Acrobat XI. It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi). Hope this is not a problem.
