Changing the default setting for forms in Acrobat 9

When I go into forms in Acrobat 9 and use a Word doc to convert to a form the default boxes created initially are text.  IS there a way to change the default so the initial boxes created by the program are checkboxes?

No, you have no direct control over how the Form Wizard behaves. There are things you can do with the design of the source document that can influence how automatic field recognition works. For example:

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

    When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

    Greetings, David.
    alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
    Sure.
    _Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
    _Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
    _Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
    _Close the window and your done.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

    I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

    Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

  • Where can one change the default setting for itune u (ie so that download all is default)

    Where can the defaults for itunes download setting be changed?  I would like it to be download all instead od download the first only.  I don't want to have to open each and change it on a one by one basic.  os is 10.8.4 running on a macbook pro

    Okay after much research and trial I finally figured it out.  When you open up the settings menu at the very top of the list of itune u courses is the default selection by checking this it then becomes the default choice.  You will not see this unless you open the dropbox and go to the top and even then you might think it was just a header.

  • How to change the default setting for Output Preview

    Good afternoon! I use the Output Preview feature under Advanced > Print Production quite a bit, to preview the rendering in one specific simulation profile (for me, its Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper).
    Is there any way to set the default to be a specific profile, instead of the one that keeps coming up (Output Intent: CGATS TR 001)?
    It's very time consuming to have to repeatedly select my profile everytime I open a PDF and gauge the file in Output Preview.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
    - Johnny

    All you need to do is set the default CMYK (under Preferences > Color Management) to the profile you use the most. It will then default to that profile in Output Preview, unless it has an Output Intent specified.

  • Is there no way to change the default setting for the save as directory

    I been searching but running into a dead end, no answer.
    Thx
    Russ

    Will someone, preferably from Adobe, PLEASE give a straight answer to this question. It is such an easy question and the answers seem to be bending over backwards to avoid it.
    The question is: What must a Reader user do to change the directory to which Reader, by default, points when instructed to save a file?
    The current default is the Windows "My Documents" directory. The goal is any directory of the user's choice.
    The question does not ask how to modify or attach add-ons to Windows. It is not how to add icons to Windows save dialogs. It is simply how to adjust Reader to specify a different default save-to directory. Maybe it's a line in an INI file or other configuration file. Maybe it's a registry key. But it must be something, because Reader somehow knows how to point to "My Documents." How may the user change it?
    Thank you.

  • Default Setting for Searching in Acrobat 6 - Please Help!

    Hello.
    We are in a bit of a bind and hoping someone can help us out. We need to know if there is any way possible to change the default setting for Searching in Acrobat 6.0 from "MATCH EXACT WORD OR PHRASE" to "MATCH ANY OF THE WORDS".
    We know this feature can be found in the Advanced Searching pane, but it needs to be changed for each document individually on a Search. We need to do it globally and automatically so that no matter what we search, it ALWAYS does MATCH ANY OF THE WORDS first without having to go to the Advanced Search pane.
    Can anyone help???
    Thank you in advance.

  • Change the default setting of 'Match entire cell contents' in Excel 2007

    Hi,
    I am using Excel 2007 on Windows 7 and need to search the contents of cells in a large spreadsheet on a regular basis.
    When I open the Find and Replace dialogue box, the Match entire cell contents option is always checked. I deselect this to search for the cell contents I require. If I then enter any values into a cell and try to search for another cell,
    the Match entire cell contents option is activated again.
    Is there a way to change the default setting for this checkbox to be off rather than on?
    Thank you,
    Nitin Suneja

    Hi Chad,
    I will check if it is something localised to the spreadsheet itself as it is shared by a number of people and all are having this problem with this sheet.
    Thanks for looking into this for me.

  • How do I change the default properties for Replace(Ins)?

    Acrobat Pro X
    Comment tools: Annotations
    All tool icons EXCEPT Replace(Ins) show "Tool Default Properties" as an option when right-clicked.  When I right-click a particular replacement in the document and select "Properties," there is no option to set current as default.
    So, how do I change the default properties for this annotation tool?  I need to change the Author and the color.

  • Can I change the default settings for InfoView?

    Hi,
    I have a Crystal Reports Server 2008 running. The users access their reports via the InfoView web application.
    In this application each user can configure some settings, like whether to use the Acrobat Reader or an ActiveX control for printing. Due to the fact that most users are not experts, is it possible to change the default values for all users by administration?
    Regards
