Combining forms with pdf files

I need to find a solution to combine my new LiveCycle form with my pdf files that have filable text fields. When I try to combine them I get a message saying "Adobe XML Forms cannot be merged". My goal is to be able to link and fill all the fields from the form to the pdf files. Thank you in advance.

Basically you have to lay the whole thing out in LiveCycle.
I've done it by using the Replace Artwork (under the Edit menu) command on an existing form and selecting a pdf that has all the pages I need in it. Then you have to move the existing fields in your LC form to the proper pages.
Or, put together a pdf with all the pages, bring that into LC as a new form and then copy/paste your existing fields to where you need them.
I don't know if there's a better method hopefully someone else has some ideas. It would be a nice feature in a future version of LC to be able to add pages to an existing form.

  • How to Combine Forms with .PDF files?

    Hello. Several employees at my company frequently generate reports which are then edited in Acrobat 7. Life was good in the days of Acrobat 5. Then something changed between Acrobat 5 and 6, making this virtually impossible.
    Then along came Acrobat 7. We rejoiced when we realized we could edit all but one table in Acrobat 7, and that one could be edited using ALCD 7. Now here's the rub:
    The tables are generated individually using Crystal Reports as the compiler. Separate .PDFs are generated for each table and edited in Acrobat or ALCD when necessary. When all editing is complete, the reports are compiled in one .PDF for printing/publication.
    The problem is that once we edit a table in Designer, it cannot then be merged with the other .PDFs.
    Is there anything we can do to get around this? Thanks!

    Hi Katherine,
    Unfortunately Designer creates an XFA PDF form, which is not inherently compatible with AcroPDF files. (Their internal structure is different.)
    You could try one or both of the following things and see if they work - I haven't the opportunity to test these just now myself, but this is what I would try..
    Option 1 - When saving the table in Designer, select save as type option of "Acrobat 6 compatible static PDF" option and try if this can be merged into the rest of the file.
    Option 2 - After completing all changes, see if you can set up a batch process in Acrobat professional to print the Design files back to AcroPDF format, and then merge into the bigger file.
    I hope this helps,
    Sanna

  • How to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

    how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

    Hi aho,
    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
    What can I do with Reader?
    Let me know if you have further questions!

  • Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

    After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages?  The pdf has more pages than the word document.  I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

    Hi Petek ,
    After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
    In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
    You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

  • We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions

    we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why did you not explain how to return a filled form via pdf file?

    Why is there no explanation on how to return form via pdf file?'

    Unfortunately, because IRS forms are XFA forms, the flattenPages method that the tool Gilad mentioned won't work, and neither will Preflight or PDF Optimizer.
    You can fill-in and save the form with Acrobat or Reader, open it in Preview, and select: File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF
    or "Save as Adobe PDF" for that last step. You may have to fiddle with the scaling to get it right.

  • Problem with PDF files

    Hello Experts,
    I am having trouble with PDF files corrupting the folder in
    which they are contained. If this sounds familiar, and you might be
    able to help, please see if the following steps give you an idea of
    the problem and the fix.
    I want to link to PDF files from a web page. The copy,
    consisting of several files, was provided by my client as Word
    documents, and converted to PDF by me from within Microsoft Word.
    I copied the PDF files into their own folder in my site, and
    found later, after leaving, then reopening Dreamweaver, that the
    folder was corrupted and unreadable. I got a message to run chkdsk.
    I tried working around the folder by repeating the process
    above in a new file, with the intention of ignoring the corrupted
    one. The second folder also became corrupted.
    I don't know if chkdsk is a Dreamweaver utility, or a Windows
    utility, or if this is a Windows, Acrobat or Dreamweaver problem.
    Does anyone know how to run chkdsk?
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
    Thanks so much in advance for the urgently needed support.
    Richard

    chkdsk used to be a DOS utility, now Windows. Depending on
    the OS you have
    and whether it's Mac or PC, you can run it several ways.
    If XP > Start > Help and Support, type chkdsk in the
    search
    Other OSs, search for chkdsk.

  • Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

    I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Cheers, JH

    The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
    I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

    Hi,
       Go through the program RSTXPDFT4 (Converting SAPscript (OTF) or ABAP List Spool Job to PDF), you will get some idea.  Using this program you can convert spool into PDF file.

  • I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

    I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

    Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?
