Can an Acrobat form have a field that allows you to select and display an image?

Hello,
I'm trying to streamline my most frequent job duty. I work for a box plant and I spend most of my day creating or updating Print Cards. These are letter sized pages that contain the job information along the top and an image of the package laid flat below. What I'm trying to do is make the Print Card a form that I can fill in, and have the final field ask me to select the image. I would then browse for my package design and drop it into the specified field.
Is this possible? It seems like it should be. I'm fairly illustrator savvy, but I've yet to really get my hands on Acrobat (though I get more excited about it the more research I do).
Eventually, I want to turn this single form into a full portfolio that would be linked pdf versions of every form we currently use. The info would then be uploaded and assessable by anyone on our team. I don't know how to do half of that, but I'm learning. So I guess, expect to see me post on this for a while.

Yes, you can set up a button that has a layout other than "Label only" and use the following as the Mouse Up JavaScript for the button:
// Mouse Up script for button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
You will then be prompted to select a file as the source of the button icon. You can choose form a number of file types. You should then set the button to read-only before sending the PDF.
To trigger the import from a different button, bookmark, link, etc., the script would be:
getField("image_button").buttonImportIcon();
Replace "image_button" with the actual name of the button that will display the image.

Is it possible to make a fillable form have variable fields - so if you select a radio button it triggers a different form field to be seen depending on which radio button is selected??

Yes, one needs to use some custom JavaScript code to control the other fields' properties.

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

The "new" Pages is missing just about everything.
Your best best is to go back to the old Pages (mavericks puts in in your applications folder in IWorks.
Apple told me that based on input from users they will add back some missing features back but I suspect that will take a long time if ever.
They (Apple) say they created a new Pages to make it work seamlessly on various devices.
But in doing so they've dumbed down the programs to where they're nearly useless.
Any new users who don't know what "old" Pages could do will probably be satisfied.
But those of us who use this program to do real publishing should send feed back to Apple.
Apple has decided that we are "heavy" users and not representative of the majority of their customers.
That's why I suspect that putting back the features in Pages will not be top priority.
But just in case they really do read the feedback send them your opinions and feature requirements and just maybe if enough people squawk they'll at least put the old Pages back in the App Store (it's gone now).
One possibility crossed my mind. If the new OS Yosemite can mirror devices, perhaps we'll be able to mirror the old pages on to our IOS devices than you could have the full capability of Pages and the connivence of an IPad or IPhone.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
At least in the presentation, it looked like it could work, we'll see.

Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf files on your ipod touch?

Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background? This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist. We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi- I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave. It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!

There was a button that allowed you to search and dowmload MP3 from the tool bar it is no longer there it wasn't a youtube plugin do you have a suggestion?

It wasn't a youtube plugin do you have a suggestion for a replacement? It worked directly from the toolbar.

Did you lose a bunch of add-ons? That could happen if you used Firefox's Refresh feature. This could occur when Firefox reports that it is running slowly and you can speed it up by restoring default settings. And then an Old Firefox Data folder appears on your desktop. Do you see anything like that?
It's not very straightforward researching old add-ons in the Old Firefox Data folder, but it's possible.
Before diving into that, if relevant, I notice you have numerous RealDownloader plugins. Can you check whether they are fully enabled? You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. For RealDownloader plugins that seem relevant to Firefox, change their permission to "Always Activate" if they are set to "Ask to Activate". For those that do NOT seem relevant to Firefox (Chrome and PepperFlash), I would set those to "Never Activate".
These kinds of changes often do not take effect in the same window. Try opening a new window (Ctrl+n) and visiting a site where RealDownloader is supposed to activate to see whether it does.

Do you have a way that allows you to save attachments from multiple emails at the same time?

I have thousands of emails that I have put into Thunderbird's Local Folders, but now would like others in to access the attachments and don't want to go email by email to save off the attachments, time is prohibitive, so was hoping there is a way to select groups of messages and save off all the attachments at one time. Please let me know. THANKS!

I'd install FiltaQuilla, which provides the ability to save attachments as files. Create a filter to do the attachment saving.
Creative use of the QuickFilter should let you select the required messages, then use ''Run Filters on folder''.

Programs that allow you to open and crop PDF

Hi There,
I am working on a project with two other people that uses PDF's that need cropping and saving as both PDF's and JPG. I know that both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can do these tasks, the only problem is that I am working with others who do not have these programs installed on their laptops and neither they nor I have a budget to be able to purchase either of these programs. Can any one recommend alternative software (preferably Free or Open Source) that will allow us to get the job done quickly and easily.
Thanks
Michael

Can I cause checking a box to add 1 to a calculated form field? I have a field that sums the numbers entered in several previous fields and need to be able to add "1" if a checkbox is selected as well.

Can I cause checking a box to add 1 to a calculated form field? I have a field that sums the numbers entered in several previous fields and need to be able to add "1" if a checkbox is selected as well.

I think it has something to do with the way the value of the check box is exported, but I'm not sure. With nothing being exported to Data5, Data6 displays the sum of Data1-4 rounded down to the nearest whole number and updates automatically as Data1-4 are updated.
Right now, assuming Data1-4 are 0, where data 5 is the output of the second example and any box is checked, "1" is displayed in data5 but nothing is added to data 6. Selecting any other check box or deselecting that check box will cause data6 to add 1 even if data5 displays "0". By way of example:
Selecting Check box 16 results in Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays zero.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are selected, Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays 1.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are deselected, Data5 Displays 1 and Data6 displays1.
Then, if Checkbox16 is deselected, Data5 displays 0 and Data6 displays 1.

Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ?

Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.

If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.

I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
So you may not need to install Windows at all.

Get your iPhone to update only one app at a time as follows:
Click each application that is updating to get it to a "Paused" state. Once they are all paused, then do this for one application at a time:
Click it until is says "Updating". Let it finish updating and installing. Then repeat for the next application.

I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
release early in February 2015.
2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
Thanks.
