Can't use touchscreen on my exported fillable pdf using my HP W8 tablet

I've used FormsCentral to create and then export fillable pdf - (Tablet is WIFI only and sometimes I don't have a connection - hence I can't use it online all the time so I've exported as a pdf) - anyway. Tablet is Windows 8.1 Pro, 64bit, HP EliteTab 900. My problem is that unless I have my keypad plumbed in (which works fine) - I can't get the PDF to prompt for the onscreen keypad when I click on the open text fields. I don't always have the keypad on me - not practical for tablet use. Is there a setting or option or a different reader I should be using??

Hi;
I am going to assume by the Windows 8/8.1 Adobe Touch app you mean "Adobe Reader Touch" (the full screen Metro app as opposed to traditional desktop application).
If you do indeed mean the "Metro" version of Reader for Windows 8/8.1 devices you can post your issue in the related forum here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/metro
I do not know why this isn't working in the Reader Metro, or if it is a feature that has been added there yet or not... I am inquiring to find out. In the mean time your crew members can always use the "desktop" Adobe Reader (Free download get.adobe.com/reader/) and the Submit button using the Email method will work from there.
Thanks,
Josh

I am having problems exporting to PDF using InDesign for Mac.

Hi all!
I just started using the Creative Suite on Mac and have run into a couple problems. One is that when I set up a document in InDesign using "Facing Pages" and then export to PDF, the document exports each set of "Facing Pages" as one singular spread (my 20 page InDesign document becomes a 10 page PDF). Once it is a PDF, there are no page break lines in the center of the spread to indicate that they are two separate pages, and when I try to set up viewing preferences in Acrobat (single or double page), it too recogrnizes each spread as a single page.
When I used to do this in InDesign using Windows, whether I exported to PDF or printed to PDF from a document set up with "Facing Pages," each page would still be considered separate once converted to PDF (20 page InDesign docment becomes a 20 page PDF).
This also leads me to my next question : I see that on Mac, there is no option for printing to PDF, but I notice a quality difference specifically when it comes to linework (vector information) that has been "placed" in the document from Illustrator. Is there any way to achieve the quality of printing to PDF on Mac?
Thank you in advance!
Gabby

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

How to export book pdf using custom presets for all book files in indesign using javascript

How to export book pdf using custom presets for all book files in indesign using javascript.

Hi jackkistens,
Try the below js code.
Note: you can change your preset name in below (e.g, Your preset name).
var myBook = app.activeBook;
myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "Your preset name", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);
example:
var myBook = app.activeBook;
myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "[High Quality Print]", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Why does an InDesign document exported to PDF using data merge result in very different sized PDFs?

I've got a small sheet that I update on occasion and use data-merge to add people's names to the sheet. It's very much like an invitation where every invite has a different name on it. I use the data merge feature to select a list of names and then they get inserted into the document. Then I use the Export to PDF command in the data merge window to create a pdf that has all of the invitations in one big file. They are four-up per page on letter sized paper. Sometimes I print 2000 of them and the resulting PDF is about 2mb, sometimes I print 1000 of them and it's 20mb. Document, settings, method of issueing the commands to output the files are all the same. The only difference is the list of names and those are all almost identical in length. Anyone know what could be happening?
One clue is that it takes about a minute to run when the result is going to be a small file and about 5 or more minutes when the result is going to be a large file.
My guess is that sometimes it includes a copy of the images once per page, and sometimes it only includes them once per document, but I'd love to know why and how to control that. Thanks.

And you verified that the links panel shows everything as up-to-date?
The only other things I can suggest at the moment are the standard two trouble shooting steps: Remove minor corruption by exporting and Replace Your Preferences

Can an image be uploaded into a fillable pdf?

In creating a fillable pdf document is there a way to allow an image to be uploaded onto the document?

OK, there is a method that you can use to import an image into a form with Reader 11, but it has to first be converted to PDF, which is relatively easy to do these days. It involves using a simple JavaScript as discussed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4943623
That's really just the minimum and you would typically add additional code to detect what PDF viewer is being used and warn the user if it's not sufficent.
Here's another thread with more discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823
The alternative is to create an XFA form in LiveCycle Deisgner, which allows an image field that can be used to import a JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or GIF. It will work with previous versions of Reader. LiveCycle Designer came with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro prior to Acrobat 11, but is a separate product now.

Error when exporting to pdf using Infoview.

Hi,
If I preview one of our reports (built in CRXI) in the CMC for CR server and then attempt to export the output to a PDF after waiting for a few mins I get the error:
Error
Your request could not be completed because a failure occurred while the report was being processed. Please contact your system administrator.
The report has 6 supreports each that take 2 parameters. Previously we have had problems with this report when trying to change the database connections for the subreports (we were getting a 'Missing prompting units' error until we started making the database connection change in CRXI, running from CRXI not the CMC and then saving the file to the repository once it had run successfully with the new connection settings).
All our other reports preview fine, they do not generally use sub-reports or multiple parameters though.
Thanks for your help.

There's so many variables for each Enterprise action, even with an effort to improve these over the years, the Enterprise error messages are usually so vague you have to trace to really identify the issue.
Exporting directly from Crystal Reports is a good start.
Sometimes it's just a matter of the report has streamed the 1st/beginning pages to you, but it is still processing in the background when the export to pdf is executed. Since the report is not complete, it fails. Try scheduling it directly to pdf to eliminate this possibility.
Else you will have to trace the Page Server or RAS to get more info.

Can the Performance Detail reports be exported as PDF without the Detail Table?

We previously generated significant numbers of Performance Detail reports out of SCOM 2007 R2 as PDF files, and the 'Detail Table' did not show.
Now that we are on SCOM 2012 R2, the same reports show the 'Detail Table' when exported to PDF. We report on 6 to 12 months of data, so these tables are huge, and are also useless for our purposes.
Is there some way to suppress the Detail Table when exporting a Performance Detail report to PDF?

Hello,
Please see if the method in the following post can meet your requirements:

I can't get InDesign CS3 to export a pdf properly

Hi all,
Actually I have resolved the problem but I thought I share with you all.
I have done up a booklet in CS2, containing 70 over TIFF images, all of them with clipping path done in Photoshop. In between this project, I upgraded to CS3 from CS2. After I amended and saved the .indd file to CS3 version, I encountered problem exporting the booklet to pdf. The pathed text and images were missing from the pdf.
1. I tried export the pages to JPG, everything looks fine.
2. Thinking probably the .indd file size is too big. I deleted some pages and export to pdf again. Same problem.
3. Then I read in the forum that some users encounter problem with TIFF images with clipping paths done up in Photoshop. BUT since I have 70 over images to re-save to psd as some suggested, I decide to put it aside first, hoping it's not clipping path that causes the problem.
4. Fed up and desperate. I started troubleshooting by deleting one element at a time and try export to pdf. Elements like path text, rounded corners boxes, color-filled boxes, etc.
5. FINALLY, I found out it was the dotted outline that causes the problem. I successfully exported the pdf after I remove the dotted outline! But client has approved the design and layout, so I can't simply remove the dotted outline! Luckily, I still able to export to pdf without error after I re-applied the dotted lines to the boxes.
If you encounter the same problem as me, probably you want to try re-apply all the dotted or any fancy line by setting it to 0pt, then to your desire thickness again. =)
Please share how you resolve your PDF error too!

Problem exporting crystal PDF using printoutputController.export method

Has anyone used PrintOutputController().export() method in ReportClientdocument to export Crystal PDF report to a JavaIOStream. I am getting an error when I try to export it using this method. The error I get is unable to connect RAS.rptappsrver followed by classcast unable to export to IXMLSerializable. Here is the code I am using.

Here is the answer. After getting ReportClientDoc from factory we need to set the DatabaseController userid and password (if report on Crystal server is accessing oracle database as datasource). In addition we need to set parameters on the ReportClientDoc for reports and subreports before doing the the export.
Here is snippet of code: The code below is used to get ReportClientDocument and export it as PDF using bytestream.
/* Code for getting report client document */
private static synchronized ReportClientDocument getReportClientDocument() throws Exception

Can we preserve the session while navigating to PDF using sessionId

Hi,
I have a requirement like i am navigating to PDF page where we have few buttons on click of those links we trigger some application functionality in a different window.
I want to restore the session in the new window, any suggestion are welcome!
The thing i observed is while opening PDF we are loosing session because PDF file is not associated with browser and when clicking on PDf button it is opening entirely new browser window instead of child window of the parent window.
Can we restore the session using sessionId actually i can send the sessionId by appending it in URL using URL rewriting.
Thanks,
Mahendra

Export to pdf using presets

Hi
I want to create a pdf using export to pdf option with a preset in Indesign.
I have found this following code in Adobe Scripting Guide: VBScript. But it is not working when I tried to run this script by converting this into vbs and added into scripts folder of Indesign.
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
myInDesign.ActiveDocument.Export idExportFormat.idPDFType, "c:\myTestDocument.pdf", False, myInDesign.PDFExportPresets.Item("[Press]")
Is this anything I have to do with "c:\myTestDocument.pdf" ( I dont understand whether I have to place a pdf in this location before run this script). Please explain.
Thanks a lot.

That parameter is the output file name, as described in the Javascript help. I would know where to look for VB scripts -- isn't that built-in?

Can you retain text highlighting when exporting to PDF from InDesign?

Hi,
I have several publications that are now going to be reviewed by another individual and I was planning to export them to PDF.
However, I've already highlighted bibliographic references, table call outs, figure call outs in the InDesign file using different colors and I was wondering if there is a way to retain that highlighting when exporting to PDF? Just thought it might make their life a little easier since I already have all that done in the file.
Thanks!

Ah ha! Got it! All I needed was your prompt! I looked to make sure that it was set up as conditional text and noticed the Show/Hide option at the bottom of the pop-up. (I knew I saw something before that would allow this, but couldn't remember where!)
Thanks for jogging my memory!

How can I change the margins on a fillable PDF

I am looking to change the margins on a fillable PDF that is required by the CRA because page 2 of 10 is blank. If I were to print it and send it off with the blank page it will get sent back as 'not completed properly'
Any ideas on how to get rid of the blank page???

Oh I understand that it is free. I just don't understand why a fillable document that is required by a government agency such as the CRA has a blank page in it and the program they insist you use to fill out the form cannot remove that blank page. That's where my annoyance lies.
