Add or combine two PDF forms

Hello group,
I am totally new to Adobe Livecycle Designer.
I want to add Acrobat (static) PDF form to Acrobat Dynamic XML form.
Is it possible to do that?
Please assist me to combine them.
Else any guideline to add a scan copy to Acrobat Dynamic Form.

You can't assemble together a dynamic xfa form and other content. It has to be static

Can I combine two pdf files by using command lines?

Hi
I always need to combine two pdf files into one in my regular work
Currently, I open one of them, press ctrl+shift+I,
find another file and double click it.
It works but not so efficient since I need to do
this procedure many times everyday
So I'm looking for a better solution
Something like command lines,
for example:
acrobat.exe "combine" "doc1.pdf" "doc2.pdf"
Does acrobat have these functions or not?
Thx &
Best Regards

When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents. I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat Pro XI which I recently purchased.

Acrobat (Pro or Standard) does not apply a "default" protection. It appears that someone or some other process has applied protection.

Hi All,
Please follow these steps to create tables in adobe interactive forms.
Lets us take this example. We want to display employee information. The following fields are the one that we are going to display:
1. employeenumber
2. First name
3. last name.
First insert a "interactive form UI element" in the view. Create a value node and bind it to the data source of the UI element.
Create a subnode called "Employee".
Create 3 value attributes to display the 3 values.
Open the form designer. Insert a subform. change its type to "flow content"(default is position content) and in the next drop down, choose the value as type "table".
insert one more subform into this subform. change its type to "flow content" and from the dropdown, choose the value as "table row" and in the tab "binding", click the checkbox "min" and have its value as 1.
now drag the elements from the data hierarchy into the second subform.
save the form in the designer.
go to the view implementation and populate the nodes with the value. if this is within a loop, the content of the second subform is repeated giving the user a "table".
I hope the steps are clear.

Chander

How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

Combining two existing forms

I have created two different forms that I need to combine. Whether I have someone fill out Form B is conditional on an answer within Form A. It would be nice if, at completion of Form A, the user could be sent directly to Form B. Is there any way to do this with two existing forms instead of re-typing all the information every time I need to apply Form B to future forms?

How do I combine two PDF files into one?

I want to merge two PDF files into one to make things easier when I take the file(s) to a professional printer.
Can I do this in Preview?
Thanks.

You can't do in Preview.
You can combine individual PDFs into one PDF using one of these freeware utilities.

Is it possible to add files to a PDF form submission?

Hi there,
Someone asked me to add an attachment field to a PDF dynamic form. Based on previous research we figured out that will not be possible: our users don't have Acrobat - just Reader - and we won't purchase Reader Extensions. How about using a form field to help the user send the attachments that a are required with that give form? For instance:
- User would fill in the form and when asked for attachments he/she would browse for the file.
- The form would save the file name as text on the form (like the answer for a text field)
- The PDF form would memorize the location of the file(s)
- When the user hits "Submit" the PDF form would gather the files listed for attachment and add them as attachments - in additon to itself - to the email created by the submission button.
That way the attachments are not saved as part of the PDF form, but the PDF form is automating the process of adding them to the submission email.
Is that doable with LiveCycle Designer? Any tips on how to go about coding/building those actions?
Thanks in advance,
AV

If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile);
NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
you can also remove the file
myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
you can also open the file
myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });

Is there an easy way to allow usrs with Adobe Reader to add images to a PDF form?

We are using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro.
We are currently using the "Ruber Stamp" tool to add customer logos to our forms in order to "Brand" the forms for our customers to use with thier customers.
We would like to make this a simpler process, self-service if possible.
We currently add fillable fields to the form and save with Adobe Extended Features so the customers can fill out the form for their customers and save the changes.
Is it possible to add a field where the customer could click on it as be prompted to load a .jpg ir giff into the field in order to brand it themselves?
They would need to be able to save the change just like all the other fillable fields.
Any thoughts on this one?
If we can't make it self service, is there a better way to do it internally than the Rubber Stamp wher ethe technician could click on the cielf and input the image directly rather than first creating the stamp?
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve

If you can get your users to use Reader 11, there is a way to do what you want if they are able to convert the images to PDF first. This is relatively simple these days as Ofiice applications can do it and anyone on the Mac can use Preview to convert an image to PDF. It involves setting up a button so that its layout is something other than label only and using the following code in the button's Mouse Up event:
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This is not available with previous versions of Reader, but it is available with all versions of Acrobat, so you'll be able to test it with Acrobat 10. For more information, see the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.739.html

ADOBE Forms Central - add and remove rows (PDF Form)

Hello, I am currently evaluating ‘ADOBE Forms Central' to set up a form with editable fields. I have set up a test form in ADOBE Forms Central and was unable to insert an option to add and remove rows similar to the print screen attached. Is this possible to do using ADOBE Forms Central or should I be using
a different ADOBE application? Thank you, Liz

A dynamic XFA PDF form can do this. You can create such forms with LiveCycle Designer, which was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro prior to version 11. It is now a separate product.
XFA forms can't be used with FormsCentral, however, only Acroforms can.

Can't combine two PDF doc in Preview and save under different title.

I regularly used Preview to combine two scanned pages into a single document and them save them under a different name using "Save As..." With Lion I get a unhappy run-around within Versions and can't save the combined document. I wound up placing the two files in folder and zipping it for transmission via Mail. What is the procedure under Lion with Versions, or how do I disable Versions? I can track my documents quite adequately without Versions.

You can combine PDFs directly in Preview, but the interface is a little tricksy.
First open the sidebar in Preview. If your existing PDF has only one page, there will be just that one thumbnail.
The key is to drag new files onto this thumbnail/icon, not below it. If you drag below it you'll just show two separate docs in the same preview window-- but if you drag on top onto it it will highlight and the two files will combine. Then you can hit save.

How to add "Add Attachments" button to PDF form in Acrobat?

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard for creating a PDF form. I want to add an "Add Attachments" button to my form. Is it possible to do it in Acrobat? If so could someone please help me with the javascript? Also, if possible I would like to check the total attachment size and inform the user if it exceeds, say 10MB. The user will be submitting the form via email so I want to cap the attachment size.
I found this example, but I don't know how to view the javascript used: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3991644
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
S.P

Please keep the conversation in one topic. It's impossible to do what you want with Acrobat so I'm locking this thread - please wait for a response to your question in the LiveCycle forum.

Is it possibile to add dynamic piechart on PDF form

Hi
I am trying to create a calculation PDF form. This form is doing several calculation. I need to plot/draw/create pie chart based on the data entered on form.
Is this is possibile using Adobe LiveCycle Designer?
How can i do this task?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Victor

Hi Victor,
We have started to use Flex, which generate a Flash (swf) file. We have created a simple form and embed the swf into a pdf, so that all of the form functionality is in the swf. However we have not worked out as yet how to save user inputted data into the swf.
Thom Parker (WindJack Solutions) has an example of embedding a video into a dynamic PDF, but this takes a bit of scripting. Example here. In this case you would have the data in the dynamic form abd the pie chart (previously created in Flex) in the swf. The trouble will be when trying to link the two. We are too early on the Flex road to be able to give you clear/correct answers on this.
Attached is an example of a swf (from Flex) in Acrobat. You will need Acrobat/Reader v9 to view. It is very basic and currently does not remember any changes to the swf. Also the pie chart does not update automatically - hit the refresh button. Flex developers may cringe ;-)
In summary if need pie charts don't use LC Designer. If you are developing in Flex don't import swf into Acrobat - use as web based form or AIR.
Lastly - there is a view amongst visualisation experts that pie charts are not the best way to display data - better to use a column chart.
Good luck,
Niall
ps - slightly improved version that updates the pie chart as data is amended. Using the change event of the textInput object.

Combining 2 PDF forms

I have created 2 PDF forms in LiveCycle ES. When I try to combine the 2 PDFs in Acrobat Pro 9 (File > Combine > Merge Files into a Single PDF) I get an error message that Adobe XML forms cannot be merged. How can I combine the 2 forms into a single 2 page PDF?
Thanks!

When selecting Forms, then start from wizard, which ever method I choose (existing document, paper form, no existing form), LiveCycle always opens up. Is there any other way to create a form in Adobe besides LiveCycle? It's looking like there's no way to merge these forms.
