Can't edit part of someone else's pdf form

I'm trying to modify a pdf form that was made by a govt agency (why isn't important, it's basically the current example of this occurrence - I've run into this elsewhere). I'm kind of a n00b at this so I've still got alot to learn...
The doc has what looks like a graphic of some text on a page that I'm trying to remove. Can't select it. It may have something to do with the fact that it was made with a later version of Acrobat than I'm using (v6.0.2 of Pro) 'cuz I get a message when I open it. So I've tried just about every tool I could find to select it with no luck.
Is there anything like an erase tool that will delete pixels? Or delete everything in a box? Could this be a layer issue?
TIA!

Sounds like an XFA form from Livecycle Designer - check the PROPERTIES
of the form under the FILE menu - it's the PDF Producer were interested
in ....
Another possibility would be ARE (Adobe Reader Extensions) - can you go
File / Save a Copy and then open that version?
Last option, check the padlock at the bottom left in Acrobat 6 - is
there one? If so, check the security settings, it might be set to no
editing.

    Hi Chris,
    You can't get rid of an alert. The least you can have is one that says "none".
    Nevermind, I see you learned how to edit the event.

  • How can I edit part of a clip

    How can I edit part of a clip in iMovie.

    First, select the portion of the clip that you would like to edit. Do this by dragging your mouse. A yellow border should be around this portion of the clip.
    Next, right-click inside the yellow border and select SPLIT CLIP. Now you have a separate clip that you can apply your edit to.

    No need to unregister. Just make sure you sell the entire package including all disks and printed documentation.
    Then remove it completely from your computers.

  • Can not edit parts of page

    Can not edit part of a web page. I can edit text and pictures in the center of the page. When I go
    to the info at top or bottom  of page cursor changes to a circle with a line thru it. Went to adminster website and did the unlock on the 2 files it showed. No help I am new to contribute and web flie editing.
    Thanks for your help.

    There's also the chance that they are include files. The newest version of Contribute can edit those on-page(assuming you have permissions to the folder they sit in) but I believe that older versions could not edit them on-page. With older version, you would need to open them directly if you know where they are.

  • How can erase my information on someone else's icloud?

    Hello,
    I was recently a victim of an armed robbery for the first time in my life and had my purse and iphone stolen, but luckily, the authorities came and retrieved it from the home of a suspect associated with the man the next day thanks to the gps of the phone. However, I soon discovered that the man who had stolen my iphone deleted all of my apps and updated my contacts to include my own name and apple id address and when i tried to erase it, I think that i may or may have not updated his own icloud with my own information. I do not know if that is possible but i am freaking the **** out. The man has yet to be caught and is now equipped with my own email, apple id, phone number, and possibly home address as well (and my family's individual phone numbers) on his icloud. All i have, if it would be any help, is his apple id and his first name (which showed up when i connected my usb to my comp). I contacted the police again but they couldn't do much about this type of technological situation. I hope that you all could help me in anyway possible, for now i am fearing for my life and my family's and friends' lives as well.
      Thank You Very Much

    Being robbed at gunpoint is a traumatic event to say the least. I'm sure no one could possibly understand the depth of your concern.
    I can only suggest that the felon who took your iPhone with all the information on it really doesn't have anything more than what someone could find out by using a phone book or any number of other records. Try to consider this rationally - your posessions were recovered, but is the thief going to track you down again? Why? It would be the height of stupidity. Not that dirtbags and felons are smart, but I doubt he wants to risk getting caught by going to your home or even harassing you with so much as a phone call. You were robbed for no other reason than to get a few bucks for drugs, nothing more, and the scumbag has long since moved on to his next victim.
    Technologically speaking, I doubt there is anything you can do to erase information on someone else's account. However, given the circumstances, I would contact Apple's legal department, explain the armed robbery and provide a copy of your complaint to the police. It would be ideal if they would unceremoniously cancel his iCloud account. I seriously doubt they will do that, unless pressured to do so, since as a rule Apple does not get involved in thefts. Perhaps if you pointed out failure to act as you request could lead to injury to yourself or someone else, leaving Apple in a vulnerable position if that were to happen, might convince them to take appropriate action on your behalf.
    I am just speculating though. You ought to consult an attorney to determine if this is advisable.

    Hello Jerry and welcome to the Community.
    1. First posting rule: Never use someone else's thread even if you think you have exactly the same issue. You don't.
    2. No two issues are ever identical. There are too many variables. ALWAYS start your own topic.
    3.  Not advisable and not recommended.
    4. A much better way to achieve your objective is to purchase a Skype Gift Card. Details here:   https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12197/what-is-a-skype-gift-card-and-where-can-i-buy-one?frompage=...

  • How can I edit an outlook email prior to the form being distributed?

    I have recently upgraded from Acrobat X Pro 9 to version 10.1.3 and am now unable to use the below feature.
    Before, when distributing a pdf form, I would use the 'desktop email application' option, and when I clicked 'submit' on the form, it would go through all the usual steps, and then when I clicked the final 'next' it would bring up the actual 'email' in an outlook format, with the pdf attached, and the addess in there, but the option to edit.
    Now, it just comes up and sends automatically, not allowing me to make any modifications prior to sending.
    Is there a simple change I need to make to the settings, or what am I doing wrong?!

  • How to edit the source file of a PDF form?

    Hi,
    I used a Word doc as a base to create a PDF form and have added many fields to it using Adobe X Pro.
    Now, i have to change some of the text in the Word doc. Therefore I would like to change the Word. doc and reupload it as the source file for the form.
    How can I do this?
    thanks in advance!
    regards, Laurie

    After updating the Word file create a new PDF from it. Open the old one (with the fields) and use the Replace Pages command to replace the pages of the old file with those from the new one. This will keep the fields in tact and you'll have a version with the new pages and the old fields.

  • Can I convert a purchased epub doc to pdf form for commenting?

    I bought a book with the purpose of commenting/highlighting on a large-screen PC rather than a tablet.  The sample it allowed me to download was in PDF form, & allowed me to highlight & comment, so I went ahead & bought it.
    However, the purchased product is in ePub format, and does not allow commenting & highlighting.  Is there a way I can convert from ePub to PDF so I can achieve my original purpose?  (I doubt I'll get a refund....)

    Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

  • Can I make a web link for Imported PDF forms?

    I imported a PDF form onto formscentral.  When I click the distribute tab I do not get the same options as if I created the form on formscentral.  Can I create a web link for my imported PDF form?

    Hi;
    No, the Import PDF feature allows you to save a new version of your PDF form that has a "Submit" button that submits the data back to FormsCentral which is available for you to view, analyze and manage on the View Responses tab.  It does not provide a "web" version of the form. 
    In order to make the PDF form available online you will want to create a link to download the PDF and instruct users to fill it out using the free Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), you do not want to allow the PDF to be opened inside of a web browser as that will not work for most users.  The FormsCentral PDFs must be filled out using Adobe Reader/Acrobat.  Here is an FAQ on PDF in a web browser: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142

  • AP proximity? (How close can your AP be to someone else's AP).

    Tried doing some searches but cannot find anything...
    If you are designing a WiFi system in a building that already has a system (independent to your new system), how much separation between APs should you have? ie. How close can/should you put your AP to an existing AP?
    Sometimes because of the building layout you want to go at the same spot, but I know you need some separation. Assume omni, 100mW APs.
    Thanks.

    You have some valid points. But every-man-and-his-dog has a 2.4 AP and it still works then it will most likely still work even if it's "every-man-and-his-dog +1".
    Most importantly the system has to be designed correctly regardless of the existing networks. The better your system is designed to work solo, the better it will perform in an environment with other APs. Yes existing networks will obviously degrade your performance, but you can't really find anywhere in an modern urban environment without seeing a dozen APs from either inside and/or outside your building. The existing network could be dense but if it is not used all that much, the degradation should not be extreme.
    Besides, you have say 100 users in the building, they can use system A (existing) or B (my new one). If they have the option of using both/either, then you have 50 on A and 50 on B. Is that much/any worse than having 100 on A? Contention is contention though the extra beacons will add to it. For the users that can only use "B", then they will at least have an option, even though it will be at a slower performance than if A did not exist, at least they have an wireless option now. If "A" did not exist, you could build your "B" network, and 1 week later, someone could build "A" anyway.
    1) Don't worry, it's not my money. Most of the existing "high density" areas are low usage private wlans. (P.S. What's the definition of "high density"?).
    2) RFID is not part of our application.
    3) & 5) This is being accounted for in our designs.
    4) If we use Cisco, then I hope it's significant. ;-)
    6) Gigabit.
    Good discussions.

  • How can i edit an iMove someone has sent me via email?

    A colleague was working on an iMove trailer today and asked if I would do a bit of work on it at home. They emailed it to me but now now when i open it up it just plays through quicktime. I really want to get it into iMovie to edit it a bit... any suggestions?
    Thanks

    iMovie is an Application that can handle several types of video files. It is not a file format in and of itself.
    If you have the particular video format the file is set to open with Quicktime, then it will open with Quicktime.
    You can Command click (right click on a 2 button mouse) on the file, and then click on Open with, and find iMovie.
    Alternatively, you can simply open the file from within iMovie itself.

  • The stolen phone can be simply replaced by someone else

    Someone suggested me post here. Thanks him.
    Need your help, please.
    My phone has stolen on 5/14/2013. I called apple technical support number as soon as possible, and reported the situation. Few days later, which is 5/17/2013, I dialed that number again and wanted to know how it's going. The supporter told me that someone took the stolen phone to go to one of the apple stores and replaced the stolen phone because that phone's mic had no sound.
    After the call, I go to the apple store with a policeman. But the stuff, who is the manager at that store, said that he didn't know why that man could replace the stolen phone and didn't have any responsibilities for the mistake. And then, this manager showed his rudeness, didn't even want to talk to us, me and the policeman. Because of the manager's noncooperation, the policeman can do nothing! No one can give me a reasonable explanation! The apple store's stuffs didn't even check the record if it's a stolen phone or not!
    I was wondering if the stolen phone can be replaced at a apple official store without any ownership proof. Don't the stuffs should check the phone's record first? I just want to take my phone back. If anyone has any suggestions, please . Thank you!

    Unfortunately, Apple will not help nor cooperate unless you have a court order. That way, Apple rid itself from any legal nightmares and responsibilities.
