Can i create a form from one that i had done before

Can i convert a form that i had already created in word or excel?

Thank youŠthat was the first post I ever submitted.
I think I figured it outŠI was referring to Forms Creator.  I want to use
this tool to create forms for a Policy and Procedural Manual and Forms that
I am creating. I want the forms to be ³active² so that the user can fill out
the proper documents on the computer as needed instead of transferring info
from a paper filled out form or document. Does that make sense?  I
discovered that I needed to save the form or document that I have already
created to a PDF format.  The allow Adobe to identify the fields
automatically then I can tweak from there.  I am in the process of doing one
now.
If you any suggestions/short cuts, etcŠfeel free to let me know.
Thank you for your response.

  • How can I create MWV file from iMovie that is compatible with Windows

    Hi Folks:
    I have have an iMovie project that I need to share as a WMV file that I can upload to a website that is then able to be opened in a Windows browser.
    I've already created a QuickTime version that seems to work in Mac and Windows browsers. Just need a way to create a WMV file that works.
    I have purchased software (Flip4Mac WMV) that lets me make a WMV file but the files that I make with that software open up in Mac browsers (Firefox and Safari) but will not open in either Firefox or IE for Windows. The windows browsers both report that the page is not available. One of the options is to refresh the page. I do this on Win 2K IE6 and the movie is played in Media Player in a pane at the left side of the browser. On Windows XP IE 7 the page just does not produce anything that is useful.
    Anyone able to tell me what I should do to make the WMV files OK for Windows or some software that actually creates WMV files that work on Windows? Or is this a Web Page Formatting problem?
    Is it something I am doing on the site? I am using the "embedding" technique recommended by Apple to use a JS function to embed the file in a web page as shown below: (slightly modified)
    function InsertMovie(movie)
    document.write('<object CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">\n');
    document.write('<param name="src" value="movies/' + movie +'" />\n');
    document.write('<param name="controller" value="true" />\n');
    document.write('<param name="autoplay" value="false" />\n');
    document.write('<embed src="movies/'+movie +'" width="320" height="256" autoplay="false" loop="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"></embed>\n');
    document.write('</object>\n');
    This works in that the movie is presented to the Windows browsers are presented with the movie but they don't want to display it. I have two versions of the Movie and the one that's an H264 encoded QT movie loads fine in both IE and Firefox on Windows with QT installed. It is the WMV file that is not being handled as I would like.
    Any help would be appreciated a great deal. In fact, I will give a registration code for RollingCredits to anyone able to solve this problem for me.
    I know, resorting to bribery could be considered bad form but I am in need of a solution. And I know there are a lot of smart people out there.
    Cheers

    Are you saying that my problem is that I am not using
    the correct software to create the WMV file or that
    VisualHub is a less expensive alternative.
    My problem seems to be that the file that I create is
    not being recognized by the browser -- not that it is
    not a WMV file.
    As I'm sure you know, WMV, like QuickTime mov files, come in many flavors. VisualHub may give a slightly different 'flavor'.
    After I made my original post, it occurred to me that Flash video is probably a more universal solution to your problem. Had you considered Flash video?
    But your suggestion(s) to try VisualHub have not gone unheeded.
    It's the least expensive way I've found so far to create Flash video files.

  • Can I create a form instead of in app payment system before a download?

    I would like to create an app which instead of an in app purchases system has a form asking for interests before someone can download the content.
    Would this be possible?

    A patch does overwrite a whole application but only because applications are made up of many files. Patches do replace individual files with corrected versions. There's no way of just replacing particular bytes in a file.
    So the fmx (plx, mxx, etc) is the smallest patchable unit.

  • Create a Form from Scratch: Possible or Not

    So, I have Acrobat X.
    I want to create a form from scratch. I have Word doc, but it wasn't created to look like a form, and I didn't like the way it imported.
    So, can I create a form from scratch. Or Not?
    If you try to start from scratch, it suggests a template on formscentral - and after signing up for free and spending an hour making the form, I find that I can not save or save as PDF the form that I created without forking over my credit card information - for a free trial that bills in a few weeks. (As much as I like the form data collection tools available, I cannot have my data collected by Adobe.)
    I can open an empty MS Word doc to start from - as my import choice - but can you make it any harder to mave the text around or enter new text? I never did figure out how to edit text. Is the answer going to be to edit my text in Word or in the plain PDF tool?
    I just found the form creation to be completely counter intuitive.

    Acrobat is not a Word processor, really. "Adding a carriage return" makes sense in a word processor, where the layout is still fluid. In a PDF the layout is finished, everything is a graphic. So, absolutely, it's designed to work with pre-made forms. To me, that's a strenghth - you can use the tools you already know to make the form background, then you add the fields in Acrobat. With work, you can preserve the fields over remaking the PDF, then just adjust the field positions.

  • I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

    I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
    Can anyone here help me?

    Vincent,
    If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
    ... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
    If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

  • I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

    I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

    The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
    Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

  • Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

    Apple IDs generally don't stop existing. If you mean that you have changed your email address, what you need to do is update your Apple ID to the new email.  Start here:

    No. Desktop spaces affect only applications and their windows. If an icon appears on the desktop it appears on every desktop.

    Can I create order forms that calculate the exact total with taxes?
    The customer needs to know exactly how much everything will cost before submitting. I can handle the actual payment portion manually.

    I'll inform the admin dude that they need an upgraded acrobat to do forms.

    I am unable to download music that I purchased from itunes.  I can download recent purchases, but not ones that I made last year or earlier.

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.
