Can you copy multiple fields in a pdf form and paste them elsewhere?

I have created forms in Adobe Standard 9 and have posted them on our company intranet for users to access. All the forms work well, but one group would like to be able to copy and paste the form data into our call tracking software for future reference. It can be achieved now by copying and pasting each field one at a time. My question is there a way to copy more than one field at a time and paste the data elsewhere as even simple text, no font recognition required.

Thanx graffiti, you're right that Adobe 9 Standard had that option and it saves it as a seperate .txt file. and you can cut and paste from there. What I was hoping for was a Reader 7, 8 or 9 copy and paste solution, like the Adode version of "shift + c" to choose and add individual cells in Excel.
Any tricks of shortcuts would be appreciated.

  • Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

    Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

    Hi there
    I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.

  • I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form into Microsoft Word or notepad....Help! thank you!

    I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form I created in Adobe X Pro into a Microsoft Word or Notepad document. Please help! Thank you!!

    I have created a fillable form. Part of the information from that form needs to be copied and sent to another department at work. Once i complete the fillable form (e.g. select options from a drop down, enter test in test boxes that are on the form) when i copy that section, i only get the non-fillable information pasted into word or notepad, the drop down selections and fillable text do not copy.

  • How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    Hi,
    Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
    This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
    Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • Data merge - can you insert multiple fields at once?

    Hi,
    I'm using InDesign CS4.
    I'm automating a series of reports using Data Merge from a CSV file. Each row in the CSV file holds the data for each individual report - 135 reports in total.
    The thing is, each report contains a text comments from some research interviews - but some reports have maybe 10 or so comments, others have over 600! The fields are called comment001, comment002 ... right up to comment620 (or so).
    InDesign only seems to let me insert fields from the Data Merge one at a time - it won't let me Shift-select a range of fields ... the alternative is to manually insert about 620 fields one click at a time!! Ouch...
    Does anyone know of a way around this?
    (Hope I've explained the problem properly!)
    Cheers,

    We see a few Adobe employees from time to time, notably Dov Isaacs and occasionally Matthew Laun (from the InDesign development team), but they are here on their own time and in an unofficial capacity, though they are extremely helpful when they do drop in. Employees are encouraged, at least on the ID team, to monitor the forums, but not necessarily to participate, so they probably do see most of the reported problems, but their jobs are to do development, not provide tech support, and I for one would rather they spend their time fixing bugs and developing new features than have them actively engaging in these threads.
    And rest assured that Adobe appreciates the work that the user community is doing here. It's no secret that we are far better than the free telephone tech support, largely becasue we work with the programs every day while the suppot contractor only has relatively untrained folks reading from the knowledebase unless you can get escalated very high up the chain.
    As for the feature request, by all means file it. I think you are correct that it would be nice, though I can see some issues, too, like how do you decide how multiple fields will be strung together (one after another would be the same as your concatenation problem and using separate lines might not be approprtiate in all cases, either). The place to file is Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

  • Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?

    I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?

    I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

  • PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

    I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use.  I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo.  That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder.  I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder.  Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

    Hi,
    The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
    If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
    You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
    If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
    Hope that helps a bit.

  • Can you assign multiple email addresses to Adobe Forms?

    Or does each form creator have to have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI license?

    If you're asking about submitting forms via email, you (the licensee) can set up a form to submit to anyone you want, even multiple recipients. Submitting by email is not very reliable and relies on the user to have a functioning email client.
    If you want to email the complete PDF (as opposed to just the form data) and you need it to work with Reader versions prior to 11, the document has to be Reader-enabled with Acrobat, but this has certain licensing restrictions. In short, if you distribute an enabled form so that more than 500 users have access to it, then you are allowed to use data from no more than 500 instances of the form (including hard copies) that have been returned to you.

  • Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

    I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section.  Is this possible?  If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Thanks, George!  In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with.  For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10.  I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization.  I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written.  Does that make sense?  Will this require JavaScript?  My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form.  Thanks again,
    Andy

  • Can I apply electronic signatures to secured PDF's and hide them?

    Hello,
    I currently have our product datasheets on secured PDF's (approximately 40,000 of them). We post these datasheets directly onto our website.
    What I am looking to do is to have 3 people electronically sign-off on each of these datasheets, before they are posted on our website -- however I do not want these signatures visible to the public.
    Thus, can I use electronic signatures with secured PDF's? And can I hide these signatures?
    Also, I have watched some of Adobe's videos as it pertains to group editing. Do you have any recommendations for more resources regarding this? How would I make sure that "Jim" doesn't sign something with "John"'s name?

    When they cannot be opened I forget what it says.  That's not much help I know.  File not found or something like that.  I can open an attachment from an e-mail see it, then save it to my computer and e-mail it to someone and they won't be able to read it. I will go back and check on it and sure enough I can't open it again. Frustrating.

  • Newbie - Adobe 7 Prof - How do you automatically clear fields after filling out form and printing

    A form housed in a database displayed on the web, allows the user to open, fill out some information and then print using the "Print button". How can I have the form automatically reset the fields to blank after the form is no longer being viewed on the screen or even after printing? If user goes back to the same form later without rebooting or cacheing, the information that was entered is still there. I'm new to this and have very little scripting experience. Your help would be VERY appreciated.

    I've read the article at the website provided. Can you provide specifics on what to add where. I'm working in Adobe Designer 7.0...are the changes to be made there or in the Adobe Prof 7.0 for the Client?

  • Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

    My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

    iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:

    If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

  • Can you put multiple links over the same button and have it still change states?

    I have a photoshop button that changes from an active state ('TRAVEL' in a box) to a rollover state ('JAPAN, PHILIPINNES, KOREA, INDIA' in a gridded box). The 4 location names should be linked to seperate galleries. I want to find a way to do that. I tried placing clear rectangles over the areas, and then linking the rectangles, but it prevents the rollover state from being activated. Is there a way to do this?

    You should be able to do what you want with the Tooltip Composition Widget.
