Remove all tooltips from PDF Fom in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to convert an Excel form into a PDF form. There are a couple of hundred fields in the form. By default, when I convert the excel file to a PDF form, Acrobat names all the fields automatically and this name is added to the tooltip. So when mouse hovers over the fields the tooltips show on all fields (e.g. for the column "Day" fields will show tool tips "Day_Row1", "Day_Row2" and so on)
I know I can remove the tool tips by going to the field's properties and deleting the text in the tooltip box, but I do not want to do this for 200 fields one at a time.
Is there a way I can tell the Acrobat to not fill in the Tooltips automatically when the form is converted from Excel file?
Thanks

I am creating the PDF Form using Acrobat 9 Pro. If I make changes in the preferences to not display the tooltips, it only disables the display of the tooltips in Acrobat on my computer. I want the tooltips to be cleared or not display on all PDF viewers by default.

  • Remove ALL Images from PDF Export?

    I'd like to remove ALL images from a PDF export (Indesign CS6), with the intention of having the smallest file size possible for review. All the images are Photoshop PSDs.
    I have created a PDF Preset (PDF 1.7) that omits EPS, PDF and Bitmap.
    That covers any PSDs that contain opaque backgrounds, i.e. are considered to be non-transparent. However, any PSDs that do NOT contain such backgrounds still appear in the exported PDF. I assume they are NOT considered to be Bitmaps?!?
    I've gone for maximal compression of images (in the Preset) also just to see how small I can get the file, but it's still over a meg, and I'd really like even smaller. I live in a rural part of England where net access is painfully slow, and even a few meg of data takes far too long to upload, not to mention the constant drop-outs. Consider further that my document is likely to grow by several orders of magnitude and hopefully you can see why I'd like to sort this issue out as soon as possible.
    I've not done any scripting but assume it would be trivial to hide images with a script. However, I'm not sure how such a script might know how to make visible only the images that were previously hidden by the script. Obviously I would not wish to unhide images that must stay hidden. Maybe some form of image/object tagging, if that's even possible in this product, i.e. tag them "temp hide" on first pass of the script, and so forth.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    Regards,
    James

    @James – to mark the container frames of the nonprinting images by a fill color, you could add the following lines of code in the for loop:
    allGraphicsArray[n].nonprinting = true;
    //The parent of the graphic is the container that holds it.
    //We could use it to fill it with a tint of e.g. 20% of black:
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillColor = "Black";
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillTint = 20;
    But this approach will add a new problem for images, that only use a portion of the holding graphic frame. Or are only partly visible due to a clipping path or a clipping mask or totally transparent areas due to transparent pixels.
    Already colored backgrounds will be recolored…
    @Sandee – I see the advantage of the PostScript to Distiller way in this situation, but there are two disadvantages:
    1. Live transparency will be flattened (could be no issue in this use case, but you never know).
    2. The gray area with the big X will be applied also to parts of the images where no pixels are present (transparent pixels in PhotoShop or TIFF files).
    To work around all these issues we need a more complex script that is building a  path object around the transparent parts of an image or using an applied clipping path for that purpose and fill that with a gray tint (and maybe with an X).
    Here some screen shots to illustrate the problems (with or without using PostScript/Distiller):
    1. Original set up:
    One placed PhotoShop file with transparency stacked upon the text frame.
    The image inside its holding frame is selected.
    The visibility of one of its layers depicting a second chair on the left side is switched off.
    2. The same setup in a different view:
    3. After running the script with the two additional lines of code:
    Using the PostScript method would do nearly the same plus adding a cross using the  area of the selected image.

  • How to remove security from pdf created in Acrobat pro 10 to allow addition of watermark?

    Hi All,
    I am a newbie to the forum. I have a dynamic form created in acrobat pro 10. Each time I open the form to add watermark on it, i have a message that says " You don't have sufficient permissions to perform this tasks" and as a result the watermark process will not proceed.
    When I created the form, I save the form with no security in the default. But,when you click on the form properties, it will display that this form has some pdf restrictions such as :
    Changing the document " Not Allowed" .
    Document assembly " Not Allowed"
    Page extraction " Not Allowed"
    Filling of form fields " Allowed"
    Page exratction " Not Allowed"
    and host of other restrictions.
    My question is how will I change this dynamic fillable form to allow all options as "Allowed" as this pdf form has some restrictions.
    If all options are allowed like in normal pdf, I am able to add the watermark but when a restiction is placed, the message "You dont have sufficient permissions to perform this task is displayed.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to add the watermark as a control for this forms during distribution. If you want me to send the attachment and the message, i would greatly welcome it.
    Many Thanks!
    Lovina

    Hi George,
    Yes, the form was created in livecycle designer. So, what can I do to add
    the watermark and removed the options of not allowed to allow acrobat to add
    watermark?
    Many Thanks!

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

  • How remove embedded font from PDF

    When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
    How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

    After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
    I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

  • Ipod 5 wasn't updating new playlists.  Removed all music from iPod and ended up with 34 GB of OTHER.  How do I remove this without doing a full restore?

    iPod 5 was not adding new playlists when synching (plenty of space remained in memory for it).  This happened around the time of the new update.  I removed all music from the iPod and when I went to resync the selected playlists, my OTHER portion of memory jumped up to 34GB and now there is not enough space on the iPod to put all my music back on.
    I've checked the usage of all the apps and photos, etc, it is pretty clear this is because of the music portion only.
    Is there anyway of removing this information?  Without doing a restore?  It is not jailbroken either.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

  • How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.
