Add Word Data to List Box in Acrobat 9 Pro

Hey Guys,
Brand new user. Is it possible to add a list composed in MS word to a list box in Acrobat 9 Pro without entering them manually one at a time? I am using Windows XP Professional.
Thanks!

I never could express myself well...maybe that's why I'm in IT.
I have a PDF file. Rather than printing it out and filling in the PDF form I want to put a text box on top of the lines on which I would write.
I have my signature scanned in and is a stamp which I glom on at the end of the document, so for all intents and purposes the finished document is as good as a printed out, filled in, faxed back document. Saves paper, trees, the whales, all that good stuff.
HOWEVER, I am mentally challenged when it comes to changing the font size (or font type) for that matter of the text that goes inside the text box that you create from the toolbar.
I can select the text and make it bold, etc. I can change the color of the text box border and background, but for the life of me can't find where the text SIZE is located.
Thanks,
John

  • How do I add a negative to a calculation in Acrobat 10 Pro?

    How do I add a negative to a calculation in Acrobat 10 Pro?
    I am using Acrobat 10 Pro in Windows 7.
    I have a form with columns of numbers (Millions, Thousands, hundreds) that I concatenate and then perform simple calculations on (addition, subtraction, division, etc).
    I have a new section of the form that has a column for a negative sign. The calculation is simple addition but it is possible for the numbers to be negative as symbolized by the minus sign in the negative column:
    Line 23 adds lines 20 + 21 + 22 and displays the sum. If any of lines 20-22 have the minus sign in the Neg column, I need the calculation to see that and add the negative number, essentially subtracting it.
    NOTE: the neg column is so formatted that the only possible entries are null and "-"
    So, I see two ways to go, one is a script for each line that looks at the neg column and if the "-" is present, makes the entry a negative number. I have not had much luck with this.
    The other path is to do this all in the calculation in line 23. I have fiddled around with some "if" statements but no joy yet.
    NOTE: If it makes it easier, I could change the column input to a drop-down box with "-" or null as the options if that makes it easier to call out somehow.
    any thoughts out there?
    Steve

    You can use a custom JavaScirpt calculation or the simplified field nation calculation, if your field names follow the required convention, with the "-" operator.
    If you are using the "The field is the ____ of the following fields:", you need to create a hidden field with a default value of "-1", a second hidden field that calculated the product of the "-1" field and the field you want to subtract. You can then use that second hidden field in the calculation.

  • Can images be used as selections in a combo box in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Can images be used as selections in a combo box in Acrobat 9 Pro? I only see options for text choices when I look at the combo box properties. Basically, I want to click the drop-down and see images (small logos) from which to choose as opposed to text choices.
    I'm grateful for any thoughts on this.

    Have a look at the PO sample that ships with Designer. It shows the provinces or states based on the country that you choose. Look in the Designer install folder under EN/Samples/Forms/Purchase Order/Dynamic Interactive

  • Data in List Box

    I am currently creating a list box on a selection screen.  I have created the box, but I am unable to populate it with data.  After looking through many resources and several threads through this forum I am still unable to populate it.  I have followed syntax posted on this forum and others, yet my list box still remains empty.  I am using the call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES' and doing the proper exports, I have used TYPE-POOL: TRM, and have created the data declaration.  Yet the box remains empty.  Anything I should look for to correct this problem?

  • Controlling Blue Selection box - Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone may be able to help - (I am tearing my hair out trying to find a solution to this)! 
    When editing a PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro at times I only want to edit one word or date within a large amount of text. When I press edit document text the programme puts a blue box around all of the text not just the bit I want to edit. Is there anyway that I can change this to only select the text I want to change and not everything? I also end up putting all of the other amount of text out of alignment when I try and edit within the blue box . - Another reason to be able to control the blue box selection.
    I have tried redaction and then chaging the redaction colour to white and chaging the redaction text which does seem to work but I now have a lot of dates that need changing and Ithe redaction idea is not really appropriate for this.
    Any advice would be greatfully accepted, I am at a loss to know what to do next.
    Thank you.
    Ellie.
    Below is an example, all of the people are made up by myself so please be assured I am not risking any data protection! I would ideally like to just be able to change the dates not the whole document so just box the dates!!

    I purchased this from a store on Ebay that was selling 10 new packages of this version.  The package was factory sealed in plastic.  The sticker on the bottom of the box states: pn:65083248 under that is the scan bars then under that is the scan code 5 051254405801 under that is Lot code: 90513 under that is Made is USA.  on the other side of the sticker states: APRO 10.0 WIN RET UNDER THAT EAP 001 DV UNDER THAT IS 905136508324807478 under that is another scan code.  That box is says ADOBE ACROBAT X PRO WINDOWS, on the disks little box says the same.  I contacted the seller and they said that all the boxes came with both editions, the Educational disk and the regular retail disk.   How many disk are for the retail version?  They said they buy all there software from a closeout vendor.

  • How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

    In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
    I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
    I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
    The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
    I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
    If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
    But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
    Thank you for helping.

    George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
    All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
    IMPORTANT:
    Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
    Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
    Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
    My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
    Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
    Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
    Good luck and enjoy.

  • Cannot add a signature after certifying a document Acrobat 8 Pro

    Every time I try to add a signature, in Acrobat 8 Professional, after certifying a document with a visible signature, the "Place signature" and "Sign document" menu items appear disabled, even though I chose to give permission to add form data and signatures at the time of placing the certifying signature. And even though these settings appear in the security properties of the document and in the certify signature properties.
    What can be wrong ? Thanks.

    To sign a certified document, you need to have at least one unused pre-authored signature field.

  • Shockwave flash object in Word doesn´t appear in PDF (Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4)

    I have a Microsoft Word document with many shockwave flash objects linked to graphs. The Word document has macro that dynamically links these graphs (SWF files) to the shockwave flash objects. The graphs aren't embedded, they are linked because they have to be loaded when the Word document is opened.
    In the Word document the graphs are loaded OK but when the Word document is converted to a PDF the graphs are shown completely blank.
    Does anyone know why it happens and if there's a solution to this problem?

    hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
    Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
    If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
    Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.

  • Calculations do not add up, how to fix in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I'm working on a budget sheet where I would like to have all expenses add up under the "Surplus/Shortage" However when I input the expenses on the expense columns the total "Surplus/Shortage" is one digit off.  Anyone know why that might be?  For the "Surplus/Shortage" field I used the simplified filed notation subtracting the income from expenses.  The "expenses" and "income" field above have their own calculations which I used the "Value is the Sum . . ." method.  Help!

  • How to add/delete/rename scanning presets in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I am setting up a new scanner in our company. We would like to scan with Adobe Acrobat (Document -> Scan to PDF). Now there are only 4 presets (like "Black & White Document", "Color Document" etc.). Of course we have our own scanning standards and often scan special formats like passports etc. So how can we add more, delete and change the names of current presets?
    Obviously it has to work somehow as Adobe won't be expecting all their customers to work with the four standard presets. But how can I do it? I was looking everywhere for it but cannot find it.
    Thanks for your help!
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    In the current version of Acrobat, there is no provision for creating, deleting or changing names of current presets.
    However, you can configure the available presets to customize them according to your needs.
    For customization of presets, you can execute the following steps:
    1: Go to Document > Scan to PDF > Configure Presets.
    2: Select the preset you want to configure from Presets dropdown.
    3; Customize the settings as per your requirement.
    4: Save the preset.
    You can now use the saved preset to scan document with your preferred settings.

  • Where is the crop pages dialog box in Acrobat 10 Pro?

    I tried the help file and looked high and low, but can't find it. Thanks.

    Can somebody please help me? Nothing I do seems to open up the "crop dialog box".
    I start with Edit > Edit Text & Images. Then, I click the crop symbol, and set the ranges of my desired crop. Then I want to apply this crop, but nothing works.
    I've tried:
         - Double Clicking Inside the selected crop-box
         - Double Clicking Outside the selected crop-box
         - Triple Clicking
         - Quadruple Clicking
         - CTRL-SHIFT-T
         - Hitting Enter
         - Right clicking
         - Searching endlessly for some sort of button pertaining to "apply crop", to no avail.
         - Changing to different PDF type (scanned, instead of text-to-pdf) and trying again
         - Yelling
         - Punching
         - Crying
    None of the afforementioned seems to work.
    Help please?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Links to Word TOC and cross references are lost

    I'm testing Acrobat 9 Pro and while it successfully creates a PDF from Word 2003 with bookmarks, all my TOC and internal page reference links are lost.
    I have triple checked the conversion settings from the Adobe PDF menu option in Word, and the "Convert cross-references and table of contents to links" check box is definitely selected.
    I used the same Word document on another machine with Acrobat 6 Pro installed - and the TOC and cross ref links were created successfully. As far as I can see the Adobe PDF settings in Word 2003 on both machines are the same - the only difference is that one uses Acrobat 6 Pro and the other uses Acrobat 9 Pro.
    The only setting in 9 Pro I turned off was the 'enable accessibility tagging' one; it's also turned off in 6 Pro. The remaining settings are the default.
    A clickable TOC and internal links is essential for my clients who often have 400+ page documents.
    Anybody have any suggestions? Or can anybody confirm that they do/don't get the same behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Thanks Abhigyan - your test PDF worked fine for me.
    This is what I've done today:
    1. Checked for all instances of pdfm*.dot files and removed any that were lurking in old Application Data and Microsoft Office folders.
    2. Deleted all Acrobat 5 and 6 folders and subfolders still lurking in Program Files.
    3. Used Add/Remove to delete Adobe Reader 8 and its updates. I figure I can always install Reader 9 if I need it as a separate app.
    4. Checked that everything was gone using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (it was).
    5. Restarted my machine.
    6. Turned off my anti-virus software.
    7. Did a search for any pdfm*.dot files - found one only in the current Microsoft Office folder and left it there.
    8. Reinstalled Acrobat 9 Professional.
    9. Opened my test Word 2003 document.
    10. Checked all the Acrobat conversion settings and left them as the defaults.
    11. Converted the doc to PDF and checked for internal links. Yes! The TOC links worked! But my joy was short-lived as the page link didn't work...
    12. Tried various other conversion settings based on some suggestions from Lance in first level Adobe Support yesterday - still no page link. And I also lost the TOC links when I cleared the Enable Accessibility check box on the Settings tab of the conversion settings.
    13. Checked the Edit > Preferences > Convert To PDF settings for Word in Acrobat 9 - add bookmarks and add links are both selected (default).
    14. Used Acrobat 9 to create the PDF (File > Create > From File) hoping that this might might a difference. Nope. No TOC or page links.
    15. Changed conversion settings back to default via Word 2003, and created a PDF from a longer document. Again the TOC links worked, the URLs worked (they always did), the bookmarks worked (they always did too), but the none of the internal page cross-reference links worked.
    So my summary is this:
    * I can only create TOC links *if* Enable Accessibility is turned on, but I have always turned this off in earlier versions of Acrobat as I don't need it and it made the process of creating a PDF from a long document incredibly slow - I'm wary of using it!
    * I cannot get internal page links to work at all, no matter which method I use to create the PDF (from within Word or within Acrobat), and no matter which conversion settings I select.
    I really don't know what to try next. Manually creating links for what could be hundreds of cross-references in a single document is NOT an option, especially as I have many of these long documents.
    Any further suggestions?
