Any Adobe Acrobat X Forms Books for Beginners

I'm wondering if there is any good books for a beginner who doesn't know
nothing about scripting.  I have Adobe Acrobat X Professional and I'm creating forms
and would like to learn how to do calculation using scripts to do things.  Does anyone know of any books out there?

It's not a book, but the best resource by far for learning about Acrobat JavaScript programming and working with forms is: http://pdfscripting.com  Also, see what's available at: http://www.math.uakron.edu/dpstory/pdfblog.html  #12-25 in particular.

  • Books for beginners

    Hi is there any good books for beginners in java i would like to buy one for reading over the holidays. To go over what i have learn during the year.Thank you.

    I'm sure that there are a great many books on the subject..... one book that I never see among lists that are available on Q/A forums like this is "Introduction To Java Programming 7ed by Y. Daniel Liang." I am still just a beginner like most on this forum, so why would I be so biased? Well I do not own the majority of books on any list, but I can say that my book explains things on an elementary level, up to very advanced. How do I know that? The chapters are many, from; Chap 1, "Intro to computers, programs, and Java programming," to chap 37, "Java Database Programming." Practically every chapter is supplemented with a breadth of work using the current Java classes that are available to anyone, but also many end of chapter questions that reflect reasonable "leaps" form basic to advanced. It includes much more from the companion website as well. In short, you write the programs in the chapter questions, and in doing so become very acquainted with the API. I like the "Head First" book, because it can give a nice angle on a complex subject as well. However, the "Head First" book is kinda written for a separate contingency. If you want to learn to program, you must have many problems to try and destroy. This seems to be the key. You must have the means to try something and try again in order to know where your prior mistakes are. When you realize how you made a mistake, you simply correct it, and this is the very biggest part of learning anything about programming. You have to screw things up on your own!
    Again, I am just a beginner like you. But by learning basics, with appropriate chunks of the API, I wind up with an expanding toolkit from chapter to chapter. Get a book that will do this for you. Many books will give you examples for things that you should never be worrying about at first. Then you get used to a "cut/paste" type of situation. Do you really know what you are doing then? Do you think you will get a fantastic response from a learners forum like this? Take it seriously and get the best book you can. It should be very broad reaching and explanatory as well. When I flip through the book that I own, I wonder how I will get to those places. Yet every time that I finish a chapter, I am prepared for the next..... and on it goes. It takes time, and a short book is unrealistic. No book is perfect, but a wise first choice will be priceless.
    Hope this helps. Peace.

  • DVD start menus and books for beginners

    I would like to make a custom start menu using a jpg graphic and my own music.  It would just have 2 options start video and scene selection.
    I was fumbling around with PE11 yesterday and did it by accident.  I added the picture and then added the audio with drag and drop....but when I tried to do it again, I could not remember what I selected.
    Also is there a good book for beginners?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Pending further information, this is what I came up with using
    Premiere Elements 11 Windows
    General/Grid
    and its matrix_pal_s_mm.psd (for main menu) and its matrix_pal_s_sm.psd (for scene menu)
    My Photoshop Elements is presently not allowing me to open the Photoshop Layer Sets in the .psd files, so I picked the above theme so I could get around having to do that.
    This is the first try result
    Main Menu....
    Scene Menu
    I tried it out in a DVD-VIDEO standard on DVD, and it did not look that bad.
    My advice is to look at the theme as is to see what it is all about, and, if interested in getting a look like above, I will give you the step by step. But, you will need Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for the background exchanges. I did not find a theme where I could get a clean enough background replacement with just the customization within the Movie Theme section of the program. Again, Photoshop Elements that will not open the Layers Sets is OK in this instance since we are not opening any Layers Sets, we are just replacing backgrounds at the .psd level rather than within the project.
    If interested, I will post further details which should be quick and easy to follow.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.05 for Palm OS

    I'm attempting to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.05 for Palm OS on Microsoft Vista. I have already installed Palm Desktop for Windows 6.2. However, I consistently receive an error dialog box that says I must install Palm Desktop 4.0 or later; after which the install terminates. I'm using a Palm T|X device. I've updated all other software as is available on the Palm support site. Does anyone have a solution for me. Is there a way to extract the .prc from the Adobe installation file? Do to my running Vista, I cannot install an older version of Palm Desktop. Any ideas?

    If anyone ever figures out to maximize the screen on the T/X, please email me.  I don't have a lot of time to keep checking back to this forum.  I will send a check for $20 to your favorite charity to anyone who figures this out and sends me an email to me at [email protected]

    Yes, you create in the .epub format with whatever Windows app you want to use for that and then use an Aggregator like SmashWords to upload the book to the iBookstore.  Direct upload is only possible from OS X.

  • Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 for the Mac.    Can it be installed on multiple machines

    I own Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 for the Mac and no longer have my Mac machine.  I would like to send my original copy along with the serial number / license key (24 digits) to a friend in Australia.  Can I do this and will it install fine for him.  I am not sure if the key can be re-used.
    I would appreciate a response as this is a Christmas Gift.

  • Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10 for MAC, gray pages

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10 for Mac. When I open a PDF, I see nothing but gray on each page of the PDF. In the Quick Look the pages are there. Please advise.

    This is usually because the pages contain image only data that is at a lower resolution than Adobe Acrobat will display.  Open the PDF file in Mac OS X Preview, which should also display the PDF content and then go to File>Export as PDF.  Name the file as a different name and then open it in Acrobat.  The graphic content should now display.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Form Duplicate text error

    Hello World!
    I work for a school with 200+ computers installed with **. The problem I'm having is when a user downloads a PDF form from our web page and goes to start inserting data in the fields the text just duplicates in all the boxes. If you try and delete the text from any of the boxes it delets everything. I've tried repairing the install by running the original installer file. I've even reinstalled a test system and still duplicate this error. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that will help you help me.

  • Any really good reliable Framemaker books for learners?

    Hi, I'm looking for any really good reliable books about FrameMaker for beginners. I found "Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book" on amazon but the reviews for it were pretty bad. Does anyone know if there is a FrameMaker book out there that would be suitable for beginners - my version of FrameMaker is 7.2. Thanks in advance for any tips. Sinead.

    Thanks, Claudio. Not sure exactly how I got onto this forum. Thought I'd posted my question in the right area. Will follow your advice and post it correctly now. Am hoping experienced users of FrameMaker will be able to recommend good books. Thanks also, Ramon, for your suggestion. Yes, had already run a google search on books about using FrameMaker but it's not always so easy to know if they're any good or not. As I mentioned, reviews of some FrameMaker books on Amazon were very critical. Anyway, thanks for directing me in the right direction. :-)
