Change a page's presence after importing PDF in LiveCycle

Hi Guys,
I have imported a PDF into LiveCycle with "Interactive Form with Fixed Pages" option as I do not want to change the form layout and design. I want to make one of the page hidden from the layout so when I save it as PDF the end user cannot see that page.
Could someone help me how to do this.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
When you import an existing document into LC Designer, certain functionality is not available.
For example, changing the presence of pages is a dynamic feature and so the form MUST be saved as a Dynamic XML Form:
When you try and save as, do you only have the option to save as a Static PDF Form? If so you are not going to be able to show/hide pages. For this functionality the form must be saved as a Dynamic XML Form.
Hope that helps,
Niall

  • How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

    How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
    I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
    I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

    Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
    I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

Assembled PDF is having both the page no's, old page no and the newly generated page no. How to get ride of the old page no? If one PDF is of 2 pages and other PDF is of 3 pages.It should show only 1 of 5,2 of 5,.....5 of 5. It showing this along with 1 of 3,...3 of 3.
    Thanks in  advance.

    Hi
    Please declare the line count for report page length.
    When you do not declare it is taken as default 0 and this is dynamic page lenght of SAP ( limit is 60,000 lines).
    Use statement REPORT <rep> LINE-COUNT <length> [(<pf>)].
    Where <length> is line count. Use as per your requirement. <pf> is line reserved for footer if you require.
    Additional you can use LINE-SIZE <width> to determine width of page.
    Please reward if helpful.

  • Pages changes the page size when exporting to pdf

    When exporting a pages document (size 8.5w x 7.0h) to pdf it changes the size to (8.5w x 11.0h) any suggestions on exporting it correctly.
    If not is there a way to resize it once it is a pdf or other software to convert it correctly?

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

  • Change default page size when scanning to pdf

    I've been trying to create a pdf from my scanner using acrobat pro X.
    The document is A4, but the scanned document appears to be in 'Letter' format- and thus the bottom of the document is cut off. I've tried in vain to find any settings to change this. The problem is not with the scanner, which works fine without Acrobat. Any help, please?

    PS: Since my edit timed out, I was going to add speculation of a way in
    ColorSync to enable or make Filters which could be used to save settings,
    at least for color and printer matching schemes, this is supported in PDFs.
    Not sure where I could take up where I left off to write a PS to my own post;
    since I had a few links to documents I found by doing some research reading.
    These may be related, but perhaps not directly enough to be of help.
    • ColorSync - Wikipedia (note info on settings, filters, printing pdfs)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorSync
    • ColorSync on Mac OS X: TN 2035 (technical note detail)
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn/tn2035.html
    {And if you have Acrobat, the retail application, you likely have
    several other printing options unavailable to a reader app; in
    that PDF print settings may be encoded into a document.}
    In any event, I'm on my way out to talk to that neighbor's dog...
    (The one I mentioned in my timed-out post that had been
    barking up the wrong tree, while I was concentrating.)
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I change default page that appears after a bad/malformed URL?

    First of all, this is not a traditional malware/adware issue. Whenever I enter a malformed or bad URL, like http://blah, Firefox defaults to the homepage of my spouse's old workplace (a large, corporate law firm). While this is a personal computer, ages ago it was taken in the office to install software (Citrix) to allow it to synch it with the firm's network while used at home, etc; the program has since been uninstalled. Ever since the computer was brought back, it's had this issue with defaulting to the mainpage of the law firm whenever it finds an error. I would prefer another page, but I can't figure out where to look (and I have tried, though I admit my own limitations).

    This isn't possible without creating a new Apple ID.

  • No import PDF from LiveCycle?

    Hi there!
    I used to build my forms with Acrobat, then found LiveCycle was more functional for creating large numbers of multi-page branded forms.  It's much more flexible when forms need to be changed or updated.
    More recently, I have found that Acrobat is crashing whenever I try to edit my Acrobat-made forms.  My LiveCycle forms are the only ones that remain editable.  I've started remaking all my Acrobat forms with LiveCycle, as I have been unable to find a fix or customer support for Acrobat X.
    I had hoped to start using FormsCentral since I can see that PDF forms are obsolete, and eventually all our office's forms need to function as online forms.
    Now I find that FormsCentral doesn't allow you to import existing PDFs that were built with LiveCycle/XFA.
    Is this really true?
    Those of us who bought into LiveCycle, learned it, and started using it for all our forms are left out in the cold when it comes to Adobe's solutions for getting our forms online?
    Say it ain't so,
    Laura

    Hi George!
    Thank you for responding so kindly!  Perhaps I was getting an extreme impression from the Adobe tech support- I meant that I wasn't finding tech/customer support for Acrobat. Your responses have been the only useful input I've gotten so far.
    And I really love LiveCycle!  It's so elegant for building large numbers of similar forms, and the dynamic capabilities mean that you can create a very complex form that still maintains a simple, easy to follow user experience.  I'm devastated that mobile devices don't support that kind of functionality.
    By obsolete, though, I mean that it seems clear that the future is online, and creating a PDF file to send around the office and to customers is not the most efficient way for me to assist in data collection for my company, so I need to get back up on the learning curve.
    It looks as though LiveCycle has its own set of solutions for getting online, though, and I don't even know how to begin to compare the features available for LC with the feature set of Formscentral. I'll be looking over the documentation for both in an attempt to learn more.
    Thank you for your help with the Acrobat forms, by the way.  I'll be reporting back results!

  • Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking?

    Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking and going through the import options?
    I'm trying to import seveeral pages of the same PDF. The process would be quickest if I could import it once, then duplicate the image box a number of times, then just change the page number each image box is linking to.
    At the moment I'm having to relink (or place), then go through Import Options, then choose the page - it's a long process that feels like it should be quicker.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
    My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID.

  • How do you change the quality of imported PDFs?

    I have been creating fillable forms in LiveCycle ES2, using my companies existing PDFs, importing them as fixed images, and adding form elements on top. When I have been looking back at what LiveCycle is producing in terms of quality, versus the PDFs I initially import in Acrobat, the quality is substantially worse in LiveCycle, and any PDFs that I import into and save from LiveCycle look to be a much lower quality. The images of our forms I am importing into Acrobat are 250dpi, 8.5x11. They look crisp and clean in Acrobat. When they are imported, the text looks more grainy when zoomed in, and the logos have jagged edges. I read that LiveCycle, by default, imports PDFs as a medium quality JPG. First, is there any way around this? I can't find an option anywhere to change the quality. If not, is there a workaround that would allow me to accomplish my goals?
    I created a new, blank form in LiveCycle, added an image, and set it as the image of my PDF form. The quality is significantly better, however, the hierarchy is substantially different than when importing a fixed PDF, and I will lose my OCR recognized text from my original PDF.

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
    I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
    What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
    I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
    Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

  • PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

    Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
       So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
       Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
    Thanks,
           Jason.

    GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
      Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
    I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
    SOLUTION:
    The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
    Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
                "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
                Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
    Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
    AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

  • Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

    Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

    Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
    What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
    Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

    There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

  • How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

    How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

    I think there may be more to this question than you say.
    If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
    Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.
