Blanking out forms in Captivate

Is it possible to cleanly edit out form filling captures and replace sensitive info (like bank details and personal details) with 'xxxx' or benign made up information like 123456... and so on, without  using any other application like photoshop etc but only use Captivate?

Hi there
To expound a bit on what Lilybiri offered, you would likely right-click and perform a "Merge into Background" with a Highlight Box to blank the field. Then layer in a transparent Text Caption with fictitious data and merge that.
Or, use the Rectangle drawing object. Right-click it and use the option to Add Text. Then you could blank and fill all in the same swoop. (If you are using Captivate 4 that is)
Cheers... Rick

  • Save a filled-out form to Word - saved as blank

    I purchased ExportPDF so that I could save a filled-out form to Word. I needed to do this because, though the form has fields that allow seemingly infinite text to be inserted, the text is not visible when printed.  The document must be submitted by US Mail.  When I converted the completed document to Word, it erased ALL of the text I added and unchecked all boxes.  If this is all it can do, I need to unsubscribe and get a refund.  That is totally worthless to me.

    Hi,
    Did you try with different file? If so, are the results the same?
    Would you send your document as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.
    I have sent you my contact details on your email id.

  • From Paypal Not Returning to Filled Out Form

    While testing my purchase form, everything seems to work with Paypal. However, when I select 'cancel and go back to filled out form' it goes back to a blank form. So, if customer wants to make a change, he must fill out the entire form again. Is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I don't know how to attach the form to this post, otherwise i would have

    Hi;
    Yes, it is a known issue and unfortunately the feature and it is not working.  It will change very soon but not for the better, for now the wording will simply say return to the form until we've fixed returning to the filled out form.
    Thanks,

  • Allow Mac Adobe Reader user to save filled-out form

    I have created an interactive PDF form for a client's website. Her patients are able to fill out the form and submit it to her. She is able to receive the form, but cannot save it to her Mac using Adobe Reader for the Mac. She says it goes blank when she tries to save it.
    I created the form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I double-checked in Acrobat 9 Pro, Extend Features in Adobe Reader, and it says "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader".
    Does my client need to have Acrobat in order to save the filled-out forms?
    I will attach a test copy of the form.
    Thank you very much,
    Heather

  • Why can't I email filled out forms?

    I fill out a form, but when I email it it sends a blank.

    Hi Posrthos,
    Your data is in the form, but Apple's email application doesn't display forms or comments in PDF properly when it shows  the preview. The recipient of the email will be able to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and see the filled out form correctly, regardless of this issue in iOS.
    We have reported this problem to Apple and are working with them to make sure that they understand the PDF specification, but do not have any info on when or whether they will fix the display in their email app.
    Thanks

  • Blanking out default shopping cart name

    Hi,
    I wish to blank out the default shopping cart name when creating a new shopping cart.
    I know I can use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI-BBP_SC_CHANGE to change the field, but since this BADI is called multiple times, is there a way I can determine if it is the first call in create mode? Or is there another way on blanking out the field?
    We are looking at SRM 5

    Hi Jon,
    SC name is defaulted when creating the SC, in FM BBP_SC_APP_EVENT_DISPATCHER --> FORM sc_init --> FORM sc_create, just before calling BBP_PD_SC_CREATE and its BADI BBP_SC_CHANGE.
    So:
    - either you change this std ABAP code
    - either you have enough data in the BADI to determine that you are in create mode, and not in update mode (no item data, minimum header data)

  • I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out.  I need these programs.  How do I proceed?

    I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs and has blanked out my 2008 version of MS Office for Mac and Intuit's Quickbooks.  How do I proceed to get these programs back?

    Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

    Does anyone know a way to do this ?

  • FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

    Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
    The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
    If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
    (And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

    tamarsaw, <br />Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
    It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
    Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
    The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
    <u>Open Tabs</u>
    The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
    Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
    <u>History</u>
    This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
    <u>Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)</u>
    The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

  • PO Account assignment category change blanks out GL account

    When changing the AAC on a PO from 'I' to a 'U', for certain price conditions, the GL account gets blanked out. The OME9 setting for both I and U is 'GL account number field is mandatory'. This occurs even when no GR/IR have been performed on the PO. The error message ME083 - 'Enter GL Account' is thrown. Occurs in ME22N and when using BAPI_PO_ChANGE. Is this normal?
    Thanks for your help.
    -Sanjay

    I think it is normal.  There is a checkbox 'Derive acct. assgt.' in OME9.  Here is the help text on this field.
    If Inventory Management is not active in your system, you must specify (enter) the preliminary account assignments for all the items manually. Setting this indicator enables you to by-pass this step. You will then no longer get the dialog box for the entry of a preliminary account assignment.
    You maintain the automatic account assignment specification facility using the Customizing functionality of Financial Accounting under Maintain automatic account determination.
    Check the checkbox and see if it solves your issue.  Apparently, checking this checkbox enables fetching the account from Maintain automatic account assignment config. table.

  • Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

    How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

    When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

    My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
    I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
    To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
    How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
    Any insight would be appreciated...

    There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
    For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
    What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
    However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
    If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

  • Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
    I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved  to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I  see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
    May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    s.p

    The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
    It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.
