Can you create a PDF in Designer that allows pictures to be later pasted in to it?

I need to create a PDF that will allow our customers to copy/paste screen shots in to the created PDF document. I have tried this with a dynamic PDF and cannot get it to work. Any ieas if it is possible? And if so how.
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Caroline,
The issue is that the form you are using has not been Reader Enabled and (by the error message) you are using Reader.
This means that you will not be able to save the data inputted into the form (including an image into the image field).
If you are using Reader, then the form needs to be reader enabled in order to give the ability to save data inputted into the form.
This can be done in two ways:
(1) If you have Acrobat Standard (v9) or Acrobat Professional (v8 or below), then there is a menu item that will allow you to enable the form. However there are license restrictions (see EULA).
(2) Using the full LC enterprise Suite Reader Extensions to apply the reader rights. This is a server component and is €€€€.
I have a summary on the Adobe Cookbooks that summarises the differences in deploying a form and the restrictions that are in place depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader and how the form was reader enabled (if at all).
Summary here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html
The sample in the previous post was not reader enabled and this is why you got the error.
Hope that helps,
Niall

  • Can I create a PDF fillable form that allows form multiple entries and one submission?

    For example, I would like to enter new hire information for multiple new hire employees and only click the submit button once.

    Good Morning Randy -
    Sorry for not giving you a clear enough description. I was trying to avoid a novel.
    I hope to use FORMSCENTRAL for create a form for on-line users to register for meetings including paying via paypal.  Some of the people register and pay for the meeting by themselves and others are registered by their office assistant, so there might be as many as 25-30 people.
    The individual registrants are easy and doable with FORMSCENTRAL.
    However, for the multiple registrants, I would like to create a form that can handle multiple registrants and only one submission for payment.  So far, I have  only been able to do that by creating a form that has the registrant fields created multiple times.  I would really like to be able to have the set of fields created once unless I need to add the set of fields multiple times.  I am sure that complications keeping track of the total payment due as well.
    Being able to set-up a table with the fields across (left to right) for each registrant would be good.
    Maybe this does not explain it well enough in which case, I can call and explain our need.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can you create a pdf report to attach to an email?

    I have a need to create a PDF report with graphics and signature and somehow attached the PDF document to and email to send out. This is all hopefully done in my APEX application. Has anyone done anything similar?

    I have several projects that use PL/PDF - with the pdf form filling API's - to populate pdf form and then attach the output to a BLOB variable in PL/SQL - which can then be attached to e-mail, displayed to user's browser, and saved into a BLOB column in a table. If you are comfotable with coding PL/SQL packages, this is not difficult to do at all.
    The goodness of PL/PDF is that it is composed of PL/SQL packages with some wrapped Java programs - the output is generated directly from the database. You don't need to deal with the complexity and security concerns of calling an external Java middle tier to return the document. However, if you are not comfortable with PL/SQL coding, this may be a lot of work because the software does not have a report designer like Oracle BI Publisher, which costs more than $90K to run on a 2-CPU Server.
    Thanks.

  • Can you create a pdf e-mail attachment with working hyperlinks?

    I'm trying to figure out how to generate an e-mail with working hyperlinks where the recipient doesn't have to open the pdf for the links to work...in other words, when they open the e-mail and view the pdf as it is displayed, the links are visible and the viewer can click on them and go to a URL. I see this all the time, and can't figure out how to do it with a pdf (I've added the links with the link took in pdf and they display within the application window, but disappear when the file is an e-mail attachment) or with html. I've attached the pdf that I'm trying to make interactive within an e-mail message. Any help that can be provided is much appreciated!

    Michael your answer is colored by the fact you use an ASCII (Text only) News Reader.
    The answer is more along these lines:
    PDF's can be created with working hyperlinks.
    They can be automatically be brought over from programs such as MS Word, Open Office, and such  provided your on a PC Platform
    they can actually be viewed and clickable from Acrobat or Reader PC Versions, if created from a PC Version.
    they are not viewable or clickable if created from Mac version of Office.
    They are viewable and clickable from a PC if created from Mac version of Office (Word/Excel)
    The Mac can can not do so automatically you must do them Manually with in Acrobat.
    in Past it has been a Pain to do so though may be different in version 9
    If you use a browser Plugin such as Schubert's PDF Browser Plugin that works on Safari, fireFox, Camino, SeaMonkey Opera, OmniPage, iCab. Links you create in Mac version of Acrobat are viewable and clickable.
    Finally MS and Adobe have been having this on going problem since the day's PDF's first hit the market. (Version 1.) and MS  decided to support them. The hooks are there for both PC and Mac versions of Word. and either are capable of being created and acted upon on whether created by the Mac version of Office, or the PC version of Office, but only on a windows PC. Its clearly a problem of Acrobat/Reader on the Mac. Its either a problem Adobe won't own up to, or they can't solve or, this is one item they can't be bothered with to put in the Mac Versions.
    Some of this information is based on my participation in the msnews. nntp newsgroups for Office Mac. The experts there for the most part (MVP's) use both Mac and PC's and have investogated the problem themselves and been give information from the MacBU (Mac Business Unit) at MicroSoft. The basic internal code of Office 2003/2004 is the same. The UI is different and key cobinations are different. And same for 2007/2008 except office 2008 don't support VBA and Macros, and neither 2004 nor 2008 have MasterPages, And thankfully according the the MVP's Thankfully the Robbonis not supported on 2008.

    Premiere Elements offers disc menus for only

  • Can you create a FireFox add-on that has the same functionality as Momentum for Chrome?

    Open a new tab that features a beautiful inspirational background photo.
    Purpose is to keep you on task to achieve your goals - more than a to-do list.
    "Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening <your name>"
    Random motivational quote from a library which can be personally managed.
    "Your goals or focus today is <whatever you input>"
    Get a reward (music, a yipee!, or a new motivational quote) when you check off a completed goal.

    Mozilla creates very, very few add-ons itself, you could probably count 'em on two hands. The vast majority are created by other users or independent developers.
    You might want to post here - https://forums.addons.mozilla.org/ - or here - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=53 - with that request or ask the developer of Momentum if he would be willing to develop a similar add-on for Firefox.

  • Can you change a PDF file to only allow one person have it open on a shared network?

        At my office, we all work from the same network and are constantly sharing files. We need to add comments and edit PDF files. One thing I have noticed is that adobe will not tell you that someone else has the file open until you have made all your changes and are trying to save it. Is there anyway you can be notified when you open the file that someone else is in it or only allow one user to have it open at a time?
    By the way... we are all using Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
    should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

  • Can I create a Submit Form button that allows a choice of who to submit it to?

    I have some paperwork that all new hires need to complete and then send back to their specific HR representative.  Is there a way to allow them to choose which email they want to submit their form to?  We're dealing with blue collar workers that aren't very tech savvy, so I need the easiest way possible for them to return the form.
    Each HR rep will be sending out the form to their own employees, so the only other option I can think of is to customize the form that each person uses with their own email address.  Meaning we would 3-4 versions with a different Submit To.
    Alternatively is there code for a button that would save the document to the employee's computer and then attach it to an email all in one step?

    You're working with a PDF form, correct? Is it set up to submit to FormsCentral (the subject of this forum), or not?

  • 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.

    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)):

  • Create a PDF with DDX that can be converted to PCL by generatePrintedOutput

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario that puzzles me a bit.
    I have some forms that are Interactive forms (stored as XDP with the property Dynamic XML Form).
    I need to assemble these xdp-forms (and fill them with data) and add it all up in one PDF. This PDf should be converted to PCL and later shipped off to a printer. However I see a conflict in doing this by using the Invoke DDX and generatePrintedOutput services.
    I can easily create my PDF, but to make it work I have to include the <NoForms> tag in my DDX. However when I do this I end up with a non xfa-based PDF. When I try to pass this to the generatePrintedOutput service it complains that the form is not XFA-based.
    If I then remove my <NoForms> tag from my DDX I get the error from Assembler telling me that "the baseDocument cannot be assembled becasuse it is an XFA-based form".
    What am I doing wrong? Could you elaborate a little on the behavior of these two services.
    I have found the link to the documentation on page 38 in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/ddxRef.pdf, however I don't think it tells me what is wrong.
    Please advice

    Open in PS and print to the Adobe PDF printer. However, a 448MB TIFF seems huge. At 200 dpi and 24 bit color (millions of colors) that leaves you with a 61inX61in graphic. Even at 600dpi, that is 20X20.
    For us to help you, please indicate exactly how you are trying to convert from PhotoShop. For Acrobat, are you trying to open the TIFF in Acrobat directly? Is the TIFF a single sheet, or multiple sheet? There are a lot of unanswered questions for us.
    One of the limitations on file size is the size of the temporary PS file that is created in the PDF creation process. This PS file is created in the TEMP folder that is limited by MS. So you might try emptying the TEMP folder.

  • Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
    Example:
    I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
    A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

    There's no way to lock bookmarks specifically, but if you you can apply a

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.
