After I create a form can I optimize (shrink the size) it?

After I create a form (using Adobe X Pro/Live Cycle) can I reduce size of the form before releasing it for general use? I know how to optimize a pdf I fill in... this is before that, while the form is being created... The form I created is just over 1 MG and our procurement system doesn't allow attachments that size (and the user base isn't that Adobe sophisticated to be able to optimize the form on their own).
thanks
Mark.

If you are using LiveCycle (Designer), you need will need to ask in the LiveCycle forum. However, for Designer forms you have a container of XML elements, not really the original PDF. So I do not think that any reduction can be done in Acrobat.

  • Can I shrink the size of a form text box based on the content?

    We are helping a customer migrate from some MS Word forms to use pdf forms.  We are screenscraping the data from an AS400 green screen system and populating these new pdf forms with data.  however some of the text boxes are in the middle of a sentence and the text box needs to be large enough to fit 50 characters but there are many times when the data we are entering is much less than 50.  The resulting document looks very strange with all of that extra white space in the middle of a sentence due to the size of the text box.
    So can we somehow shrink the size of the text box to fit the number of characters in the box?
    I considered making the box smaller and setting the font size to auto but I think that would look even more strange to have a word with smaller font in the middle of a sentence.
    Thanks,
    Trent

    Sorry, I should have mentioned I am using acrobat professional 9.  I see that I can change the size of the text field when I am designing the form but what I don't see is how to dynamically change the size of the text field based on what data is put inside it.
    Thanks,

    FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

    The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries.  Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.  Here are the instructions to share a form:

    I'm wondering if there is any way to view the results of the form other than in a table?  Is it possible to print responses one by one in PDF format, or word, etc?  I'd like to create a form for proposal applications, and the spreadsheet format results are nearly unusable for this type of form.

    Hi Nalani500 ,
    Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
    1) Go to the response file
    2) Select the response you want to print
    3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.

  • Why cant I create a form? When I press the + tab it instantly creates a new sheet

    you must have a table with a header row for it to know what to make a form from. Thats the key, with a header row.

    Hello there, I am creating a database of all our companies press contacts. I would like to create a form that would act as the front end and feed the database which is obviously the back end. The database is in Access 2013. My question is to whether this is indeed possible?

    This forum thread appears to point towards the problem.

    Two areas to check
    1)  Are you using images?  If so verify that you've optimized the size of the image before adding it to the form
    2)  Are you embedding fonts?  If the fonts are commonly installed on the users system don't embed the fonts

  • After scanning my document and converting to Microsoft Word the size of characters are different

    After scanning my document and converting to Microsoft Word the size of characters are different and things like puntuation are distorted. How do I get the uniformity like the original?

    Of course what lands in the Word file will differ from the viewed picture/image of text created by the scanner.
    (The output of all scanners is always an image file. For an image of textual content the best output file format is TIFF.)
    So you scan the hardcopy of text.
    The scanner output image (picture) is brought into PDF.
    At this point the only PDF page content that you can export to Word is the image (nope, no "text" just the image).
    Consequently you use Acrobat's OCR feature to do OCR of the image of text.
    With a decent paper source, proper resolution and a black and white image you'll get acceptable accuracy of recognition of the pictures of the characters.
    (the Optical Character Recognition)
    Acrobat's Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) provides output that used text rendering mode 3 (no fill, no stroke for the glyphs).
    So, invsible / hidden text.
    The third OCR method is ClearScan.
    You could play with each of the three to see what goes into a Word file.
    Might try export to RTF, DOC and DOCX as well.
    Anyway -- What is exported is the OCR output; Not the image of text.
    And, of course, the image of the text is not the imprint on the paper that was scanned.
    Each step to the way you have some deviation.
    Once you have the exported PDF content in a Word file you can use Word to cleanup as desired / needed.
    OR
    Prop up the hardcopy and transcribe to a Word file.
    Be well...

  • I need to shrink the size of my 5gb fcp x movie so I can upload it to a specific site. If I buy this compressor will it be able to do that?

    The file is currently just over 5gb and the site where the video needs to be uploaded will not take anything over 5gb. Is this the type of program I need to shrink the size of my project or should I use/do something else?

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks again. I feel like I"m so close and hitting stumbling blocks and not finding answers when I google it.
    After I hit submit a sub box pops up with:
    Name: name of my video
    Cluter: Options or none or other
    Priority: High
    It then gives me an option to cancel, but the submit button on this box is greyed out.

  • How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

    How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

    As far as I've known, all iPhones (3G/3GS/4/4S/5) sold in China (probably only in China) have this low battery alert sound.
    So called "localization" or what...
    Actually many people found it annoying coz it plays even when the phone is switched to SILENT. However no solution has been found so far
    PS: reeeeeeeally hope Apple could see this thread and at least give Chinese users an option to switch it off!!

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
