Trouble with PDF fonts - fields only

We're having trouble with our PDFs once the data is merged into the PDF template. All of the merged data appears cut in half in the form fields so only the top half of the letters are shown; the rest of the document is fine. We think this could be due to a font issue, but loading different fonts haven't seemed to make any difference. Could this be caused by anything besides the fonts?
Thanks!

Pdf is designed for presenting information graphically to reduce the file size. This reduction is achieved by making it an uneditable - something that comes in handy if you don't want people to alter your content.
You can (using a pdf writter) create pdf forms where information can be added in to a text field or box. However if you want to edit the content from a pdf file then you could select the text and copy and paste it in to a document like Pages or Word and then re-export when you're finished.
But I'm affraid you can't edit pdf as such - this is the case on Macs and PCs. If you need to edit documents on different platforms then you'll need to find a common editor. There's Office for Mac (student teacher versions) or you could try OpenOffice Org - it's free, works on both Macs and PCs, and will convert most Word documents provided there's not too many tables or a complex layout format.
Hope this helps

  • More trouble with PDF folios

    Hi.
    I also have a trouble with PDF folios, where vertical article has 2 pages and horizontal article has 1 page.
    When i set that folio horizontal swipe only, there will be one extra blank page at the horizontal article.
    When there is more pages in articles (4 and 2 accordingly), there is no such artifact.

    have you tried my example that I just posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173179#4173179

  • I am having trouble with PDF 8.1 reader.  Tried to download upgrade to 10.1 reader.  Rec'd error mes

    I am having trouble with PDF 8.1 reader.  Tried to download upgrade to 10.1 reader.  Rec'd error message. Message said Adobe 8.1 needed to be updated by this set-up?   Isn't this part of download upgrade process??   How can I straighten this out?

    It is always better to uninstall the older version when skipping versions.  What is your operating system?

  • I HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N"SE

    HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N". I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW KEYBOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

    You might look at "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane and see if somehow the lower case n has been inadvertently assigned to something.
    Probably the best solution would be to click the "Restore Defaults" button.

  • Trouble with Visible/Invisible Fields on PDF Form

    I created a fillable, calculating pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but ran into some issues, so I'm taking a stab at LiveCycle that I've never used before today.  By reviewing sample template forms, I'm able to pick up the tricks of the trade, but I'm struggling with one particular field.  I got it to calculate and the amount shows in the subtotal, but I don't know why I can't get the field itself to show the amount calculated.
    FS1 is a numeric field where a customer puts square footage.
    Based on the square footage a calculation occurs.  Here is the statement:
    topmostSubform.Page1.Total[1]::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
         Total[1] = 208.75
    elseif (FS1 > 3600) then
         Total[1] = 154.30
    elseif (FS1 > 2000) then
         Total[1] - 136.15
    elseif (FS1 > 0) then
         Total[1] = 99.85
    endif
    When I put in 5000 in the FS1 field, 154.30 is added to the subtotal, but no amount shows in Total[1] field.
    Working with properties in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was easy, LiveCycle takes a little more getting used to, so any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    if (FS1 > 7200) then    

    You may have just pasted your code in a funny way but I noticed your 'if' statement is underneath the rest of your message. Assuming it is in the correct place and you change "Total[1] - 136.15" to "Total[1] = 136.15" it should work. Also just to let you know that in formcalc you can use the "$" to reference the field you are in (so you could use $ instead of Total[1] in your formula).

  • TROUBLE WITH PDF'S!

    So I am having trouble with editing anything i save on a PDF. I recently saved a research paper in PDF format so it would be compatible at my school where there are microsoft only computers. I opened and realized I couldn't edit anything! I tried looking around settings to see if it was a "read only" file but couldn't find anything to make it so I can revise the PDF file. can someone help me?

  • Trouble with PDF Export from ID CS6

    I am having the following problem with PDF exported from an ID CS6 document. I have a couple of pages where a b&w photograph is partly covered by a non-wrapping text frame and in that text frame there is blue text. In ID it looks like this:
    It also looks like this in the exported PDF in Apple Preview.app and for most of these pages they also look good in Acrobat Pro. But two are giving me trouble. They look like this:
    and sadly, they also look that way when Ingram tries to use them. I export using the typical print format PDF/X-1a:2001
    I have a minimal ID document that shows the problem with 3 such pages, one with the problem.

    Select one of the troublesome objects and open the attributes panel as well as the effects panel.

  • Trouble with mapping CMR field using Sun One Studio

    I am having trouble adding a cmr between 2 entity beans. It is a simple one to one relationship, navigatable in only one direction. In the database I have a foreign key defined between the two tables that store the data for the beans.
    I add the relation by selecting the 2 beans and define it as one directional, one to one , with the name "bb". I then map the relationship field via the properties/As Sun One tab. I use the foreign key defined in the database. All seems to be well.
    Using Sun One AppServer 7 and Studio 4
    Upon deploying the application I receive:
    CMP Mapping Error in bean Sites:: Warning: The field bb is not mapped.
    Set the column mapping for the field.

    The CMR/CMP mappings is very instable.
    Sunone Studio 5 has a lot of bugs when mapping CMP/CMR but i never saw this one, try to upgrade.
    Please vote for this bug. It's killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Trouble with PDF created with Captivate 6

    I have been using Captivate since version 4 and this is the first time I have had this problem. The generated PDF (which is the expected file size) displays a blank page with only the TOC button which sits there flashing rapidly. I have tried changing the targeted Flash Player version without any luck.  Previews and HTML output is fine and so is the .exe file. I am using Adobe Acrobat 11 on a 64-bit Windows system. This is a fairly small project with about 15 slides and some FLV videos. I have no problems with Distiller with any of my other programs (FrameMaker, LiveCycle, Photoshop etc.). Any settings I can fiddle around with?
    Any ideas?
    Nadeem

    Thanks for the helpful reference!
    To anyone else having a similar problem: the solution (while not ideal, since it requires disabling a desired feature) is to uncheck the "Show TOC" box in the TOC settings. To reiterate what was discussed in the forum, the problem apppears to be localised to Acrobat Pro/Reader XI. So far there is no resolution from Adobe.

  • Trouble with pdf document converted to word

    I converted a pdf to a word document but it will  only allow picture tools. It does not let me make changes to the word document.

    Update: I have run additional tests today, seems like it's a font that is creating the problem:
    I use Merriweather, which suddenly convert to shrunken size in PDF, but if I convert the document font to something more generic, e.g. Courier New, the font size remains accurate in the PDF version.

  • Trouble with PDF links

    A little background: I work for an agency and have a peripheral responsibility for updating our website, so I am learning everything on Dreamweaver from square 1 basically. So bear with me as I muddle through this. A couple years ago a former employee installed version CS3 on the PC I use, and is the version I am working with to this day.
    I need to post a .pdf link of a meeting agenda to a page on the site and have it show up when it's clicked. Links to previous meeting agendas on the page work fine, but the most recent one I added 404's, even though I follow the exact code as previous .pdf links.
    My suspicion is that I trouble lies in the fact I have an old and unsupported version of the software, or some sort of conflict between HTML/HTML 5 (if something like that exists), or a combination of the two.
    Thoughts and suggestions? Thank you.

    My suspicion is that I trouble lies in the fact I have an old and unsupported version of the software, or some sort of conflict between HTML/HTML 5 (if something like that exists), or a combination of the two.
    I think it's very unlikely that either of these would be involved. No doubt the issue is either with your code for the link, with your path to the linked file, or with remembering to upload the linked file. Can we see the code on the page (best way is to post a link to the live page)?

    The more you know about HTML (and CSS) the easier this will be. It might be a good idea to spend some time on http://www.html.net, or http://www.w3school.com

  • Trouble with special fonts

    I'm wondering how best to deal with non-standard fonts used in a CVI project?  I've got an application that uses the "SWAstro" font for up and down arrows as indicators in a CVI Table.  When running the executable on a computer that has CVI installed, the arrows show up just fine.  On computers that only have the CVI run time engine installed, the arrows simply show up as vertical bars.
    Is there a way to have my program install a font if it's needed?  Am I better off just including the font file with the executable and having the user install it themselves separately?  I've tried to find a more generalized windows font that has up and down arrows, but the ones I've found (like Wingdings 3) don't seem to be available in CVI.
    Thanks in advance for the help!!
    Solved!

    Hi,
    In the distribution kit builder, you can set a font file to be copied to Fonts folder of Windows (see attachment).
    I believe that causes the font to be installed.
    So you can distribute your font with the application.
    However, beware that fonts are considered intellectual property so, better be sure you are allowed to distribute it.

  • Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

    I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

    Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.
