Can Help Text be part of an exported PDF?

i chose Training Feedback as my template of choice and i am done, except i'd like to include the Help Text which is viewable in test mode etc, but when i export the pdf it's gone. what am i doing wrong?

I'd agree that it isn't the most user friendly, discoverable "help" but is the way Help text works for forms in Acrobat.  For FormsCentral that is what we get. 
If the text is important enough to ensure all users see it maybe include it inside of the label for the field.   You can format all text in the label uniquely so the help stands apart, you could use a different size/font/color etc to identify the Help text.

    Why can't I seem to subscribe to Export PDF from outside N America? I'm using the Uk site...

    Hi Steve,
    ExportPDF is definitely available in the United Kingdom. However, it's necessary that you have an Adobe ID, and credit card and billing address from the same country in which you're trying to purchase a subscription.
    If you are using an email address (Adobe ID), and credit card/billing address from the United Kingdom, and are still unable to subscribe, please let us know and we'll take it from there. (And, if you're receiving an error message when you try to subscribe, let us know. That will help us figure out what's going wrong.)
    Best,

    I'm sorry to hear you want to cancel your subscription.  Is there something we can try to assist you with?
    If you'd rather just move forward with a cancellation, could you provide the order number and I'll take care of it.

  • 'Include help text' does not show up in PDF

    I am using the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial to create writable PDF registration forms, and when I use the 'Include help text' and add the required information, once converted from 'FORMSCENTRAL' into a PDF, the '?' disappears.
    I also can't work out how to 'Save as' in  'FORMSCENTRAL' for different versions of this document (similar registration forms but for five different cities) to make alterations. It seems I have to recreate each city all over again for the PDF version, when I need to make one small change to the Terms and conditions section on our form, for example.
    I would appreciate some guidance, thank you!

    Close the form so you are looking at the "My Forms" tab, the view that shows you all of your forms.  In the "My Forms" tab you can right click on a form and choose "Duplicate" from the context menu or you can select a form and click on the "Duplicate" button in the toolbar above the list of forms.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How can I cancel a subscription to Adobe Export PDF which didn't work for my application?

    I purchased Adobe Export PDF because I needed to convert an incoming Pdf file to word.  It is the only time I would ever use this program....  The conversion did not work because there was handwriting on the document (which I understand would negate the conversation).  How can I cancel this purchase?  I do not need the program.

  • How can I control unwanted page breaks in exported .pdf files?

    I am building a form that, for a variety of reasons, must be available offline.  Unfortunately, the .pdf export is introducing a page break on the 3rd page that leaves 80% of the page empty.  The next element after the page break is a small text field which would easily fit on the preceding page.  I have _not_ put any page breaks into this document, so the editor is following its default behavior regarding page breaks.  Is there any way to tell the editor not to break at a given spot?
    Also, in terms of a more general feature request, it would be very nice if there was a more intelligent method of handling pagination.  I understand why (in a separate spot on the same form) the editor is pushing a large form element to the next page (since it won't fit on the previous one), but I would much rather have the option of splitting a large rating scale instrument so that the first half fills one page and the final half (with headings repeated) begins the second page.  All of this empty space just looks tacky, and I can't imagine anyone actually wanting the default behavior if it would leave more than a few lines of empty space at the bottom of a page.
    Best,
    David
    P.S. Sorry for the jumbled username; the first 20 or so I tried were taken.

    Well, I downloaded the trial of Acrobat XI to see if I could fix this, and lo and behold it allowed me to define the .pdf page breaks exactly as I desired!  The "secret" was to switch to page view from the view menu.  It also works in the online version of FormsCentral.

  • Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

    Hi everyone,
    I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
    Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
    Would be grateful for any advice.

    It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

  • Hide text in certain textframes when exporting PDF

    I have a couple of textframes/anchored objects that contain text used for
    generating the TOC and other tasks.
    At the end of my script, I export a PDF. Is it possible to hide these textframes during the export so that they won't be included in the pdf (perhaps there is a style)?

    Set then to nonprinting in the attributes panel.

  • Pictures lost when exporting pdf from Indesign.

    Hey
    I have a problem with exporting an Indesign CS4 document into pdf. In the pdf-file all pictures turn into grey boxes.
    All photos is cmyk and saved as eps-format.
    What is wrong?
    Hope someone can help.

    Subject line says you're *exporting* PDF. Are you exporting or printing to the Adobe PDF printer? Or do you mean that Acrobat is displaying perfectly good pictures as gray boxes (and you verified this by looking at the same PDF on a different machine)?
    In my Acrobat 7 (haven't installed 9 yet) I can turn off display of large pictures in Preferences > Page Display > Display large images. If this is unchecked, I can make at least some of my pictures display as gray boxes.

  • Need help. Exporting pdf to Word or cretaing live fields in doc

    I need to take a 180pg doc and save it as a word doc or manage to turn all the necessary areas into live fields. I've tried going to export > word document or File > export to anything really and I keep getting this error message
    Adobe was unabl;e to make this document accessible becuase of the following error:
    Bad PDF; could not read page structure. Bad PDF; error in processing fonts cannot find CMap resource file> [3]
    I received this document form a client overseas. I can't get them to resend another copy.
    Anyway's I can get around this error? I'm desperate I have 9 other docs with the same amount of page to make live

    Sounds that you want to make the PDF files live and then edit them in Word? Why not directly edit them in Adobe Acrobat? It can help directly edit PDF, the conversion is unnecessary. And if you really want to export PDF to Word but the acrobat can help you little, you would try free PDF to Word Converter, which may help you for the conversion. However, I am not sure you would do that work well. Because I am a little confused about the problem you described. Just have a try and it may helps.

  • How can I print an odd page in a pdf with 2 page each pdf page?

    I hope tou can help me. We´ve created a pdf from a book.
    In each page of the pdf we´ve put two pages of the book.
    Our problem is:
    if  I want to print or search a even page. I´ve just go to the search box and write the number of the page I want to go. And the pdf take me to correct number in the book. I Attached a screenshot (screenshot 1). So I look for the page number 6 and I go to the page 6 in the book (that it´s 4 of 22 in the pdf document)
    But  if I try to search or print an odd page, the problem is that the pdf doesn´t take me to the correct page in the book it takes me to number in pdf document. I attached an screenshot (screenshot 2) So If I look for the page 9 it tooks me to the page 16 of the book (that is 9 of 22 in the pdf document)
    I´d like that if i try to search or print any page number (even or odd) . If I use the white box I´ll be able to finde the correct page
    Thank you very much

    The parent subform must be set to Flowed. Make sure each page (subform) is set to Pagination>Following Previous.
