Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again. 
Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
Thanks in advance

  • Is there a script to add to a form in LiveCycle to disable digital stamp editing in Adobe Reader

    I work for a state Agency and we want to use digital stamps as our signatures on our internal documents. I have created the form in LiveCycle and I know that in Adobe Reader by default the stamp will use the person's sign on ID for the stamp and then the person adds their name and other information.
    However, if the person right clicks the stamp, and edits the Identity and puts in another sign on ID number, such as their supervisor's and stamps the document, there is no way to tell that both of those stamps, with different sign on IDs and names, were created by the same person.
    If there is a script I can enter in LiveCycle, that when the form is opened in Adobe Reader, that would lock the Identity field of a stamp created in Adobe Reader from allowing a change to the sign on ID, then that would solve our problem and maybe the problem for other state agencies wanting to follow suit.
    The digital signatures are even worse. I made one in my name, my supervisor's name and my dog's name, attached them all to a document, validated all the signatures and they look absolutely authentic. Why would Adobe make digital signatures like that? If we could just find some evidence within the data showing that all the signatures were applied by the same person or on the same computer, then we could use them. But the stamps at least grab that unique sign on number that we use and applies it to the stamp if the user doesn't alter it.
    I'm on a time crunch as we hoped to launch this after the first of the year but our attorneys are saying, "uh, uh" until something can be done to prevent fraud. We have over 3,000 people in our agency so EchoSign would be out of the question.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions.

    Maybe some sort of "get identity" or something. We just need to be able to prove who put the stamp on the document.

  • Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

    I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
    When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
    What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
    So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
    Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
    I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
    Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

    Hi All,
    How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
    I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
    Thnaks

    Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
    They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
    If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
    So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

  • Autodetect text form fields-How do you get it to find all field areas?

    I have 50 pages, all identical.  I created in InDesign and its simply just a chart that is about 50 lines with 4 columns.  It was created as a table also and very clean.  I want each of those cells to be converted to text form fields in Acrobat.  When I run the auto detect, it finds every one except the column on the far right and one of the cells on the very bottom with all 50 pages.  I really need this to autodetect these or else I will have to do all those missing ones manually and that is a TON I will have to do and give unique names also which I really dont want to do!  I have attached a screenshot of the form as is and another showing all the detected fields.

    I don't think that there is a way to do, I think your only option is to add manually. If that column is the same size as last one on the right that it detected then you can copy>paste. But beware you may have to rename the field and double check your tabbing order when doing so.
    If all your 50 pages have the exact same fields then get your 1st page setup. Then create page 2 and open your pdf with the correct fields, go to Document>Replaces Pages, and select page 2, so the same for all pages and then combine all pages into 1 pdf when finished (seems like a lot of steps but in my opinion faster then doing 50+ pages and however many fields). As long as your 1st page is the exact same field setup as all the rest this should prevent you from having to redo all 50 pages.

  • Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?

    Simple question:
    Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?
    My client would like to include a visible, inline Table of Contents in his ePub. Apple Pages v5 deletes the visible Table of Contents. Can I manually create a Table of Contents with clickable links to the appropriate chapters?

    Pages 5's greatest claim to fame is its general inability to do anything much, aka "simplification".
    So the answer is No! and because this is also Apple, You don't want to do that!
    Luckily however, should you still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, you can use that instead.

    Hi,
    As I said before it is not that straight forward.If you will decompile tcViewProfileAction .class using any java decompiler you will find out that data in setAccountProfile method is not getting set through formmetadata.xml . If you are well verse with struts then only you can achieve what you are trying to do.You need to extend tcViewProfileAction class and also tcViewProfileForm class and then you need to modify tjspViewProfileTiles.jsp .It will not be easy job.Usually in implementation we do not change action class until its absolutely required as oracle also do not recommend that so now its between you and your client to make a call if they want to go for such customization.I won't recommend you do that.
    Regards

  • How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text.  Look for boxes like this:
    Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

  • I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album pf that artist

    I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in Itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album of that artist I am using windows 8.1 .

    iTunes will group songs into an album when:
    All songs have the same value for the Album and Artist field, or
    All songs have the same value for the Album and Album Artist field
    All songs have the same value for the Albumfield and the Part of a Compilation flag is checked.
    If you want to group all the songs by one artist into a single "album" you can do so by following one of these rules.  However, it may be more useful to create Playlists to group music like this and retain the original release information.  One Smart Playlist for each artist you're interested in would meet this need without over-writing information about the source albums.

    Best way for the first set up is to connect the Express via LAN cable to a computer.
    Then enter the setup of the express and choose "Join a existing network"
    After the setup is done, remove cable and you will see the Express in the Airport Utility

    The text input cursor (the vertical line that blinks) isn't visible when typing in a textarea form field that has a black background. In other browsers, the cursor alternates black and white so you can see it when it's white. But in Safari, I don't see anything. Is this a bug?
