Acrobat pro 9 - How do I reference the text in another textbox on another page?

Near the top of each page on my form I have a text box that users are to enter their company name. Unfortunately, there is the same information requested on each page in the form. It is too far down to use a header, but I don't think you can place a field in the header.
I know that you can use the Calculate tab to reference the numeric values of other fields, for mathematical purposes. What I would like to do is: Have the other company name fields in the rest of document reference the first one so the user only has to enter it once.
I have been searching and googling without success, and I even checked the manual but found no reference in the logical areas. Can this be done with Acrobat Pro 9?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Huh. Whaddya know, it does. Such an easy solution. And it is probably documented somewhere. I guess I should have done more than skim through the manual. Thanks Gilad.

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

Need help for focusing the cursor from one textbox to another textbox

hii all,
I have a problem in java script.
Note:The textboxes are generated dynamically.it is not having fixed length.(the number of textboxes generated may be 3,2,4....etc.it is not fixed.
To move cursor from one textbox to another text box ,I have taken the length of the textboxes of the first column.I used onkeyDown event .
in the function ,first i checked the condition like
for(i=0;i<form1.box.length;i++) //box is the name of the textboxes
if(event.keyCode==13)
form1.box[i+1].focus();
return false;
by using this the cursor is moving from first text box to second textbox and stops.
if i use event.returnValue=false; instead of return false ,then the cursor automatically going to the laxt textbox of the column.
my problem is how i can focus the cursor from one textbox to another textbox one after the other till the end.
if any one has solution please help me.
also if we can do in another way also,please help me.
thanx.>

If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

Following the Acrobat Pro 11 upgrade we lost the Adobe LiveCycle Tools. How do I get them back?

Or you install the previous version to use LifeCycle from there. Other wise you should just develop your forms in Acrobat directly (or Forms Central if you prefer -- I would do in Acrobat). LifeCycle had some advantages, like dynamic forms, but I would guess most folks never took advantage of these features.

How can I recognise the text in only the top portion of a page?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro and wish to recognise the text in only the top portion of a page. The document is made of of pages of music and I only want to be able to search the title section of each page. Recognising the text in the body of the music makes it difficult to search and find each piece. How can I apply Text Recognition to only the top portion of each page? And if possible how do I apply this to multiple pages simultaneously?
The other option I considered was separating each piece into its own file. However it is convenient for me to have all the pieces in one file if possible.

Thanks Test Screen Name,
Yes, "zoning". I can stop trying now.
Thank you

How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.

Hello,
I am currently using LiveCycke Designer to create a scholarship for my company. I created fields for the form and I would like to insert a text to describe the scholarship. When I insert the text, it doesn't flow onto the next page. I've tried creating a subform and clicking "flowed" and "allow page breaks within content". I also clicked auto-fit for the height, but it just makes a line. For the text box, I've clicked "Expand to fit on the height". It is also a dynamic XML Form. Is there anything else I should be doing?
I could always send the file to someone to see if they can figure it out.
Thank you,
Natalie

Thank you so much !
but the link doesn't seem to work. It says that the URL is not in the correct format for an Acrobat.com document link.

Subject: How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Here is the corrected form..Even you you set the Subform type to "Flowed" to the subform where the Text box resides, you did not set the Page1 to Flowed (which is the key)..But when I make the Page1 type to "Flowed", all your fields above the Scholrship text boxes' Subform will go one below another.. To fix this, first I have select all the fields and wrap them into a subform and then set the Page1 to Flowed..

I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version but the serial number given to me is invalid

I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version and the reseller sent me a serial number but when I install an error message says the serial number is invalid.
The reseller claimed it is Adobe's problem not theirs.
Adobe website is very confusing that I am not able to send an email to ask for help.
It has been a week since I bought it and I am still not able to enjoy the program.
How do I go about getting Adobe attention on my problem ?
The reseller is:
Digital River, International SARL
98 Boulevard Du Prince
L-1724 Luxembourg, Luxembourg
They replied my email as follows:
Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems, Inc.

Ok, thanks for that. If the serial doesn't work, you will indeed need to contact Adobe. But here are some things to try first.
1. Does it refer to a QUALIFYING PRODUCT? If so, enter the serial number of the OTHER product, not the one you just paid for.
2. If you are copy/pasting the serial, try typing it. If you are typing it, try copy/pasting it.
3. Make sure what you purchased matches what you downloaded. For instance, check you didn't buy Acrobat Standard and try to install Acrobat Pro. Or that you didn't buy a Mac product for use in Windows. And so on.
