Changing  Options after PDF is placed

Hi everyone,
When I place a PDF/AI  with Show Import Options checked, I can speficy how the PDF should be cropped--bounding box, art, crop, etc.
Once the PDF is placed, is there a way to change the settings without placing the PDF again?
For instance, I place an AI file without showing import options and the PDF places using the Crop option (from the settings I used last time).
I then hide a couple of layers from within InDesign with Object Layer Options and decide I want to be able to crop the bounding box in InDesign to the bounding box of the illustrator file because now I have big white margins around the art from the layers that are now hidden.
Is this possible, or must I reimport the PDF with Show Import Options on and change the settings there?
Thanks!

I think this is the closest you are going to get:

I find it faster to use scripts similar to John's all the time though, I have them set to a particular page and crop type, e.g. Place Page 3 to Crop box.  Then I just click on it and drag the PDF in, it saves time through not having to use either he place dialog to find it and the Options dialog to select the page.  Works great for replacing too.

  • Locking PDF but only allow further signatures & get the list of of changes made after signing

    Hi,
    I have looked at Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and found the Signing > locking feature which blocks any changes after the document is signed. I need to know whether using Acrobat SDK, one could implement a similar locking option via plugin in a way that it ONLY allows further blank signature fields to be created or sign existing ones and locks all other changes. If possible, any pointers to API functions would be appreciated.
    If the above is not possible using Acrobat SDK 9.0 then can the SDK provides a list of all the set of changes made after the signing is performed (at the time of verification) in the form of some codes which can guide the plugin author about what change after signing was done e.g.
    a blank signature field was signed
    a blank signature field is created
    watermark has been applied
    form is filled
    sticky notes/stamps/other annotations are added
    Regards,
    mwak

    Thanks for your response. I have just performed this:
    I signed a PDF ( having no prior signature or blank signature fields ) using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and locked it. I am now not able to create more signatures on this PDF. I believe I can't add more signatures even using the Acrobat SDK and Lock means complete lock-down of the document. This is different to what you said " it restricts modifications EXCEPT for other signings" or may be I am not understanding it clearly.
    I created two blank signature fields. When I clicked on the first, there is no Lock settings at the time of signing. I believe because If it is locked then the next signature can't be signed. With only a single signature field present, the lock feature is there.
    So I believe I have to resort to the option of identifying the changes in a revision and then if it the change is related to say adding stamps, sticky notes prompts the user at the time of verification.
    Can some one point me to the API functions set which identify list the objects which have changed after signing.
    Regards,

  • Change the page in a placed PDF?

    Is there an easy way to change the page in a placed PDF? Something along the lines of Object Layer Options?
    Thanks.

    We can fix this with scripting! Easy oneline script [Edit: break it two 2 lines so you don't get a scrollbar in the forum]:
    var g; (g=app.selection[0].graphics[0]).
        place(g.itemLink.filePath, true);
    save as replace.jsx and assign it a key in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Scripts Area).
    It assumes a frame (rectangle) is currently selected, and re-places the file associated with it, while showing the options dialog box (2nd argument to place()).

    You cant. BC doesnt have a theming system like Wordpress or Joomla. The template is fixed and switching templates at this stage is not an easy feat.

  • Save options to PDF

    I am using Acrobat 9 pro and standard on multiple computers running Win 7 32 bit. I can save changes to a PDF file after adding a stamp by choosing file>save or clicking on the save button. When I attempt to close the window I only get the option to save as not save changes. Is there a setting or feature I missing. I have all the latest updates installed. I am able to save this way when using a XP machine.

    You can minimize the margins considerably by unchecking two options and having your image slightly larger than the slide (there is a limit, of course).
    By using the Print option, the setting you set in the Print Dialogue, stay as you last set them rather than reset each time. This should meet that objective. Try it.
    The other choice is to uncheck those pesky boxes each time you Export a PDF.
    Good Luck.

  • How do I save changes to a PDF with AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF?

    I am using C# and have created a regular Windows form. I have used COM and registered AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. Here is my code;
    axAcroPDF1.LoadFile("myfile.pdf")
    axAcroPDF1.Show();
    MessageBox.Show("Showing...");
    This works fine. But, just like the browser, I cannot save changes to the PDF. I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed, Standard 8.0. I also have the Pro. version 7.1.0 on another PC. When I click save I just get prompted to save it locally, just like I was in the browser.
    If I edit these normally, just via Adobe Acrobat Standard, I can save my changes. I cannot do it via the AxAcroPDFLib library.
    How do I save changes to my adobe acrobat pdf file in my program? Thank you for any help. please.

    I did this after I wrote this. I have looked at the documentation but I can't find what I am looking for. Is there another way to open a file for viewing that has the full capabilities or using the normal program...one that uses something besides AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. The sample that did have a view used AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF so it wasn't helpful. All I need is normal program functionality of adobe standard or profession within the application. The users have a full version installed on their PC.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I change my default .pdf viewer in Firefox BACK to Adobe Acrobat ?

  • Create a user through the API and "Prompt user to change password after next login".

    Using the Adobe Connect Interface, I can create a user and check the checkbox to "Prompt user to change password after next login".
    Can I achieve the same result using the API? The principal-update action doesn't offer such an option and, as far as I can tell, there isn't another action to do so either.
    Thank you.

    You can achieve it as part of your application functionality, but not as a configuration option on WLS.

  • Why is the position of key frame BEFORE scene changes not after?

    Why is the position of I frame BEFORE scene changes not after?
    And, why doesn't MovieVideoChart show any I frames other than those that correspond to periodic "key frames every X frames"? Is it reading meta data and not really showing where the real existing I frames are located? I.e. WYSIAL (what you see is a lie)? If so, where can I get an affordable tool that will let me examine my files in this regard?
    I have put compression and chapter marks at scene changes in FCP and have exported with markers for DVDSP (both chapter and compression).
    I have read on this forum (somewhere) that when insert key frames every X frames is selected, Compressor is still going to insert key frames automatically at key frames.
    When I last encoded with H.264 in Compressor, I selected option to insert I key frame every 90 frames (fps=29.97).
    When I jump to chapter in my encoded video, where I had place a key frame at a cut, I end up with a chapter at the frame BEFORE the cut.
    I will try moving my chapter/compression marks a frame ahead and see if that helps.
    Certainly, others must have been plagued by this problem.
    When encoding with MPEG2 for DVD, the same thing happens.
    It is a real problem. I get one frame appearing before the cut in chapter skips.
    Hope someone can illuminate this problem.

    Hi there
    As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
    Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
    You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
    The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable

    I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable and request to connect to itunes and no activate.

    4 possible causes of that message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, but it does happen.
    When it does occur, down time is very short. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall or antivirus are blocking the connection. Solution - temporarily
    deactivate your firewall or antivirus until the update completes.
    3] Computer being used for the activation has previously been used to jailbreak
    an iOS device. Solution - use a computer that has not been used to jailbreak an
    iOs device.
    4] Your iPhone is jailbroken. Google may provide some direction. Be advised the jailbreak
    may have made changes that will prevent the iPhone from successfully activating.

  • The system and namespace change option

    Hi Experts,
    I want to integrate a certain SAP Source System within RSA1. After submitting the correct settings for Background User and RFC connection the process leads me to the Source System where I logon with an User which has authorizations in SM59. From there on (the RFC Connection backwards is already defined) I got asked whether I want to user/check/cancel this existing RFC Connection. I click on use, wait for a while and then the error (please see below) appears.
    When proceeding with the steps mentioned in the error message (transaction SE03, Administration node, ...) I cannot find any IDOC Object ZSSA009. I think maybe it's related to some software component or somenthing like that which should be set as "modifiable" but I don't know which....
    Any Ideas on this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    Tobias
    Error Message:
    Message no. TO128
    Diagnosis
    The system and namespace change option set for this SAP System does not allow any changes to be made to object IDOC ZSSA009.
    System Response
    Editing is terminated, the object can only be displayed.
    Procedure
    If you want to edit the object IDOC ZSSA009 in this SAP System, have your system administator set the SAP System to "modifiable" for this object.
    This can affect the modifiability of the namespace &1 or the namespaces that correspond to the pattern &1, as well as the global setting of the system change option.
    The system change option is set using the Transport Organizer tools (Transaction SE03). Expand the Administration node and execute the program Set system change option. The options are described there.

    HI,
    Attached link may help you in configuring the source system.

  • How to remove the warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"

    Issue: To remove the warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"
    I have created a XFA pdf file(using LC Designer 8.2) to display this issue
    I am not able to attached the PDF. Without attaching the pdf it would be difficult to explain.
    click event js:
    function activateUser() {
      var PDFVersion=xfa.host.variation+xfa.host.version;
      xfa.host.messageBox("button click event registered");
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "invisible";
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "visible";
      event.target.dirty=false;
    docReady event js:
    function displayInfo(){
    var res =xfa.host.variation;//Added this line to display the successMsg
    //xfa.host.messageBox("docReady event registered");
    xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
    xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
    docClose event js:
    xfa.host.messageBox("docClose event registered");
    event.target.dirty=false; 
    Steps to get the warning:
    1) Open the attached pdf using Acrobat Professional.
    2) Click the Confirm Enrollment" button
    3) Now close the document & the acrobat gives a warning "do you want to save changes to investigation.pdf before closing"
    Summary of the XFA pdf:
    It has two text fileds. On docReady event field A is made visisble & field B is made invisible.
    On button click event the field A is made invisisble & field B is made visible.
    On closing the pdf it should not throw this warning message.
    My Efforts:
    1) Found a property in adobe js docs.
           event.target.dirty=false;
    It doesn't solve the problem.
    2) I tried to put this logic in almost all the events listed in designer but I am not able to resolve the issue.
    Please help me resolve this issue.

    I tried putting the below 2 lines of code at the end of button click event & docClose event.
          event.target.dirty=false;
          event.target.requiresFullSave=false;
    It still gives the warning.
    Also I tried to found out the line of code which is making the pdf dirty.
      xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (before displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
      xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
      xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (after displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
    The doc got dirty when the successMsg field is made invisible.
    Problem I am trying to solve is:
         To display a welcome message before user action and after user action wants to display a success message.
         I follwed the visible & invisible approach & it wokred but gives me a warning on doc close.(Highly imp to avoid it)
    Is there any other approach I could follow here.
