Can you create a rectangle in acrobat pro

Hi all
So I wondered if you could draw a rectangle in your form and fill it with a colour and then put some text on top of the construct....
Anyone know?
Thanks
George

yes I do, but the process you describe does not work.
Allow me to describe the steps and perhaps you can tell me what you do different:
Tools > Forms > Edit > Add New Field > Text Field
Position, Resize, Properties : Read Only; Appearance Fill Red
now seconf text field
still in edit form > Add New Field > Text Field
Position this second text field over the first one
Properties : Read Only .... now which property or object can I use to enter the instructions???

  • Can you create editable forms in Acrobat X Standard?

    Hi everyone,
    Hopefully an easy question although I cannot find a definitive answer on the product page.
    I need to be able to create editable forms that others can fill in and print or save using Reader 8, 9 or X. Can these forms be created using Adobe Acrobat X Standard? The forms have been created in Word 2007 but we want to disribute them as PDF's and allow certain fields to be filled in on the PDF. The form will be downloaded from a website, filled in and emailed back.
    Any clarification on this is greatly received.
    Thanks...

    I know you can create forms with Standard but I don't think you can enable them so that Reader users can save them without the Pro version.

    Even if you could do this, you would want to carefully consider whether you want a form out there for everyone to fill out and send in. There is a restriction to the amount of times you can receive data from an enabled form. After 500 times, you would be violating the license agreement.

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    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.

  • Can you create GS1 DataBar Expanded in LiveCycle

    I have this same question in LiveCycle Design, but found it would be best here.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro and was trying to create GS1 DataBar Expanded barcodes.
    Since I was limited to just 3 barcode types I hit the forum and found out about LiveCycle.
    Even in LiveCycle through Adobe Acrobat 9, I don't see the GS1 barcode I need.
    I've tried to manipulate what is available, but that will not work.
    I found a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator that has the GS1 DataBar Barcode, but Illustrator + the plug-in software is a little expensive.
    My question as stated in the beginning is can you create GS1 DataBar Expanded barcode through Acrobat?
    In this situation through LiveCycle? Is there a plug-in through Acrobat or LiveCycle that will include the GS1 DataBar barcode?

    You can set a button to be hidden in the PDF.
    And you can set a button behaviour to reveal/hide a button (rather unhelpfully described as show/hide fields).
    So. Make your button with your navigation hyperlinks and set its visibility in the PDF as hidden.
    Then make another button which is visible and set the action for mouse down (or mouse enter if you want it to fire on mouseover) to show fields, and select the number of your menu button from the list that is presented to you.

  • Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

    Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?  I get an error message.  I click the download:  "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred.  This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."   If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him!  Thanks, Pete

    Hey PetaPete,
    There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
    Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
    So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    Note:
    1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
    2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.
    Regards,

  • How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

  • How can i creat several rectangles with one draw rect.vi

    how can i creat several rectangles with one draw rect.vi? thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can call it in a for loop, with an array of the rectangle coordinates you want to draw. Is this what you mean?

  • Can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in?

    can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in or interface?

    Alas, poor Logic, I knew him well.
    Recording wise, It will be much the same as Garageband but you will need to read manuals as Logic doesn't set things up for you. You must choose input and output devices, create the correct tracks. Logic was designed for professional use so it expects users to be somewhat familiar with recording/editing techniques, in other words, won't hold your hand or be nearly as easy to use.

  • Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

    Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
    I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
    Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

    Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
    So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' -  even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
    Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

  • Can you create a file without presenter's notes?

    Can you create/export a file that won't be able see presenter's notes, either in Keynote or PPT format?

    Yes, I can export to pdf without the notes. I was wondering if it was possible to send someone the slides in PPT format without including my presenters' notes.
    They are lecture slides for a class, so I am giving my students copies in pdf, but I might want to give them to someone else in a format they can edit and use as slides, but without having my notes to myself in there. I suppose it's not designed for such an option, as far as I can tell, hiding the notes doesn't make a difference if exporting to PPT.

    I am learning with code, (obviously) so any feedback would be nice. I use dreamweaver CS4, but when I originally designed the site it was in a much older version of dreamweaver. I wonder if that could also be a cause. (besides human error)

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )
