Can't replace pages...ideas?

On Acrobat 8 ProfessionalI created a word doc, converted it to a pdf. I then turned it into a form and edited it in Live Cycle 7. Now, I cannot replace pages, the option is shadowed out in the menu. No security is turned on. Can you help with why?

NO it is not the same.
AcroForms was the form structure developed by Acrobat and is more text based while LiveCycle Designer was developed by JetFroms using the new XML format, which could be placed within a PDF wrapper and displayed by Acrobat/Reader and the XML form has a limited Acrobat JavaScript interface.
You have to use Acrobat's AcroForm Toolbar to add and modify form fields if you are going to replace the underlying pages.

  • Can't Replace Pages (via drag and drop in Pages panel) in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, PPC G5 PowerMac.
    I'll have two PDFs open and I'll want to replace certain pages from document A with certain pages from document B.  Rather than using the Replace Pages command from the Document menu, I prefer to visually see what I'm changing.  For this reason I've always preferred the drag and drop method, where one selects a page thumbnail from one document and drops it onto a page thumbnail in another document. This only seems to be a problem in Acrobat 9.  This works fine in Acrobat 7.1.1 and 8.1.6.  Drag and drop will allow one to insert pages but the replacement of pages is not working.  As described in Acrobat Help, under "Replace pages using a page thumbnail," I try to drop the page thumbnail onto the page number as prescribed but the page to be replaced never highlights like it should.  It will only give the insertion highlight between each page, indicating that it is about to insert a page.
    Other macs exhibit the same behavior -- it always works in Acrobat 7 and 8 but not 9.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    I'm using the Windows version of Acrobat Pro 9 and found this thread with the same problem. (Key command to replace on Windows is: Ctrl + Alt).
    Anyway, to answer the how to disable the warning, go to the Acrobat Preferences. In the General category under "Warnings", check the setting "Do not show edit warnings". There should be a similar setting on the Mac version.
    (Now I wish replacing pages didn't require a key command like in previous versions.)

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

  • Using Replace Pages in accessible PDF's

    Hi - Brand new to this forum.  Hoping someone can help... I have an existing tagged and accessible PDF - needed content update, so did that in Word, created a new tagged and accessible PDF, and used Replace pages to insert the new pages into the existing PDF.  Acrobat Help says when you replace pages in a PDF, Acrobat adds the tags from the incoming pages to the end of the tag tree... and keeps the tags for the replaced pages.   That didn't happen - the tags from the incoming pages are not there and, in fact, the tags that were in the existing PDF are not there anymore either - now it just says "Warning, empty page".   Any ideas?

    Hi kvd,
    I guess my nomenclature may be presumptive. All I should have said is that the most appropriate method I have discovered for retaining tagging and all other accessibility functionality has been the Combine command. Replace Pages sometimes works and most of the time (lately) is doesn’t. My experience with Insert Pages has not been consistently successful either.
    What you mean by a workflow I don’t fully understand. Do you mean an automated action? Unless you consistently use the same page numbers in every document, I don't know how you could automate it. Also, I have not been able to find specific process treatment about combining tagged PDFs. This has been a result of testing and experimentation.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Replacing pages in accessible PDF's

    Hi - Brand new to this forum.  Hoping someone can help... I have an existing tagged, tested and accessible PDF - needed content update, so did that in Word, created a new tagged, tested and accessible PDF, and used Replace pages to insert the new pages into the existing PDF.  Acrobat Help says when you replace pages in a PDF, Acrobat adds the tags from the incoming pages to the end of the tag tree... and keeps the tags for the replaced pages.   That didn't happen - the tags from the incoming pages are not there and, in fact, the tags that were in the existing PDF are not there anymore either - now it just says "Warning, empty page".   Any ideas?
    Thanks greatly!

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Thanks for your response.  Presently, I have AA Pro XI and Word 2007.  I am confused - it seems the Adobe help material is saying different things - my pages say the new tags will come with the new pages, and your pages say not? 
    I am suspecting some of the problem may be coming from the fact that these documents have been created over many years using various versions of Word and Adobe Acrobat - since I got Pro XI, some pdf's that used to work OK for our people using screen reader technology suddenly don't read correctly anymore.  I need to repair anything not working, and I need to create a new workflow process for myself to create accessible Word documents from the start.   I'm thinking it may be cleaner to just start over and create all brand new Word documents with accessibility, maybe in Word 2010 or 2013, and then run them through Adobe Acrobat "Make Accessible" function and checker. 

  • Shortcut Method for Replace Pages dialog box

    What is the keyboard shortcut method for bringing up the Replaces Pages dialog box.  I use Replace Pages function a lot in preparing PDF documents and need a faster method than using Mouse on Tools right sidebar.  I note that shortcut key for inserting pages is Cntrl-Shift-I   --  what is shortcut for Replace Pages.  In previous Acrobat 9, I could use  alt-DNR, which brought up Replaces Pages dialog box via the menu, but there no longer is a Document item in the menu bar -- it has been removed.  Please, this is VERY important to me.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your quick reply.  You have confirmed my worst fear.  But anyway -- going forward .....  in your opinion, what is the best way to get information to Adobe on ideas for improvement so that future version or maybe even an update for this version could have something like what I need, that is, shortcut key for Replace Pages -- or ability to access customized quick tools via keyboard, etc.  Is there someone keeping a list of these things that I can write to?  Thanks again.  (And don't worry, I won't extend this discussion past your hoped-for reply.)

  • Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

    I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
    In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
    For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
    eg:
    If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
    I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
    I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
    My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
    User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
    address added because of business I describe above
    Any ideas how I can implement this?
    Appreciate that
    Regards
    Mohsen

    Hi,
    from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

    How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
    How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
    All  newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the  value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
    Procedure
    1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
    a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
    b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
    c) Save the file.
    d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
    e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
    f) Log  in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want  to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
    g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
    2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
    3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
    4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
    RequestCenter_0.properties
    RequestCenter_1.properties
    RequestCenter_2.properties
    RequestCenter_3.properties
    RequestCenter_4.properties
    RequestCenter_5.properties
    RequestCenter_6.properties
    RequestCenter_7.properties
    5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate  RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner  (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
    Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
    If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you  would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
         699=General Inbox
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    String ID  File Name
    0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
    1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
    2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
    3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
    4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
    5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
    6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
    7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
    6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
    7. Restart RequestCenter.
    Your customized text should be displayed.

    I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
    However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page.  Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
    Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button.  We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

  • How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file?

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • How do you drag pages from one PDF to replace pages in another?

    In Acrobat Pro CS2 for Macintosh you could drag one or more pages from one PDF, and choose whether to insert them into another PDF, or replace pages in the other PDF.
    To insert them you dropped the dragged pages between two pages in the Pages panel.
    To replace pages in the other PDF you dropped the dragged pages onto a page in the Pages panel.
    I recently upgraded to Acrobat CS5, and this no longer seems to work. All you can do is insert.
    Of course I can then delete the pages I wanted to replace, but it's now much less convenient, and there's more opportunity for error.
    Am I missing something, or has this feature really been removed between CS2 and CS5?

    You still can but you have to press command + option when you cursor is hovering over the page you want to replace. A blue border will appear around the page.
    So select the new page you are bringing in, drag it over to your main document, keeping the mouse pressed down. Hover over the page you want to replace and press command + option. A blue box will appear around the page. Let go of the mouse and you will get your confirmation message. Press OK, and you are good to go.
