Creating an animation in a form field

http://www.krop.com/ (best viewed
through FF)
Type in the gigantic search box and you’ll see an
“animation” in the background. (little diagonal yellow
bars sliding across background)
How do you make this happen? I just want to make it work on a
single page before I proceed further. I don't think I need a step
by step (at least not yet :) I just need to know how this is being
done so I can create my own version. I've googled for this. But I
think I'm not using the correct terms, so google is giving me
squat. At first I thought it was some kind of interactive, animated
.gif. Now I'm just not sure... I even went so far as to create the
gif, now it just sits on the webpage..
NOTE: I downloaded the site into Dw using WA Site Import.
When I go to preview index.html. It doesn't show me that cool
little animation when I type in the search box...
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
Cheers,
-Jon

Could you pls explain what you are trying to do? You can store
links in the form field directly. If you want to make them links
then use href.

Creating Worksheets with Fill-In Form Fields

What is the best application for creating worksheets with fill-in form fields? The worksheets will be emailed to my clients for completion. Once completed they need to be able to save them to their computer and/or email them back to me. What application will they have to have in order to fill in and save the PDF?

In short, you will need Acrobat to create the forms. They only need the free Reader to fill them in and save them.

How do I create a text box or form field on the top of every page of a pdf in XI Pro for titles?

I generate pdf content from another program and then in Acrobat XI Pro I want to add titles to each page.
I'm thinking I can use form fileds and duplicate across all pages but how do I make each form filed unique?
Or could i add a form field to a background and then apply the background to every page in the pdf?
thanks.

This type of thing is probably best done with a script, either by adding a uniquely named field to each page or by spawing a template page that contains just the form field (like your last idea). There's not a built-in method for doing this. If you add a blank page to the beginning of the document, create the field in the location you want, and make the page a template, you can run the following script in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate("Field");
// Spawn the template on each page, automatically renaming the fields
for (var i = 1; i < numPages; i += 1) {
t.spawn({nPage: i, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
To run the code, select it all in the console and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad.
To make a page a template in Acrobat 11, make sure you're on the page you want to make a template and select: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
and enter a name. I used a name of "Field" in the example above, but you can use anything.
To create a blank page, you can use the following script:
newPage({nPage: 0, nWidth: 8.5 * 72, nHeight: 11 * 72});
for an 8.5"x11" page. Adjust the numbers to match whatever your page size is. It will be added to the beginning of the document and you can then add the field and make it a template. Once the fields have been added, you can remove the template page.

Create dynamic directory name from form field on Sharepoint

Trying to save pdf file to sharepoint site using URL; but need to create directory (initially) and filename dynamically. After directory created addtn'l files may populate dir, so need to check for directory exists; if so just copy files to dir based on field name. I'm able to save files to hard-coded location only, based on below.
How to check and/or create dynamic directory base don field name?

Acrobat/Reader cannot create a directory. The directory needs to exist before Acrobat/Reader can save a PDF file to that directory.
You could create a plug-in and use that plug-in to create the directory. The plug-in should also be able to determine if the directory exists or not.
SharePoint can be tricky because it is not like most web sites. There is a special dash board that helps manage the different parts of SharePoint like list, folders, web parts, documents, etc so you may need to be aware of these features and adjust for them.
For folder level functions, I would not use any LiveCycle JavaScript variations. The folder level scripts are shared and accessible by Acrobat forms.

Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
Can anyone help?
Acrobat 9.4.6
Mac 10.6.8
Cheers,
Tricia

Thanks so much!! Really appreciated!
Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

How do I lock some form fields, but not all?

How do I create a form with interactive form fields where certain fields can be locked after being filled in, and others remain unlocked so the customer can interact with it?
My workflow looks like this:
I created a PDF with open form fields for my client to distribute to their salesmen.
Salesmen receive a call, fill in the information gathered. (name, address, services, price quotes, etc)
Salesmen email the pdf form to the customer. All fields that they filled in now need to be non-editable, EXCEPT an "I agree" checkbox and a signature line.
Help is greatly appreciated!
Michael

Hi Michael,
Before I go too deep into a suggestion, I need to know if you are using electronic digital signatures for signing the document? Or, are you expecting the customer to print the document, sign it with a pen and fax it back? The reason I ask is you could use digital signatures to lock specific parts of the document, but if you're not using them I won't bore you with the details.
Thanks,
Steve

Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
I have two major issues:
1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

How do you create a form that has user permissions per form field for different user?

I need to create a form that is used by multi people but each user needs to fill out different fields within the form. I need the first user to make selections from a list and save it to send to another (the selection fields then need to be locked). Then the other user checks one of the selections made by the first user and saves the document to send back to the first user. Not sure if this is possible. I would like the first form field selections not to even show as a highlighted field to the other user (like just be more like a text field). I want the document to be able to be used more than once. The list selections will change and need to be sent to the other user at least once a month or more. Has anyone done this?

There's no built-in way to do that, but it's probably doable using a custom-made script to hide and/or lock the fields.

Is there a way to create entry form/fields in Numbers.

Can anyone let me know if there's a way to create an entry form/field in Numbers. The idea would be to have already created a list of contacts, then at an event on an iPad, people can check off if that person is there and also enter new contact info. Thanks in advance.

Isnt this just a table? A list of people, with a check box field in the second column, followed by a few columns for contact info to be entered in?

Can you create a button that adds specific text to a form field?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a button in a PDF that, when clicked, adds specific text to a form field?
I am trying to make a product catalogue where you click on a product button to add the product name or code to a form field.
Each product in the catalogue will have a button and the more you click the more is added to the form field(s).
Then when you have finished adding products to the form field(s) I want to be able to save and email the entire PDF as an order form.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jim

Yes, it's possible. The most simple version of such a script will be something like this (used as the button's MouseUp event):
var v = this.getField("Products");
if (f.value!="")
f.value += ", ";
f.value += "Product1";

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Creating vertical text box form field in Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro

I'm very new to AAPro10. I've serched the forums and internet and couldn't find out how (or if it is possible) to do what I want to do.
I started with a premade pdf form with LOTS of potential form fields. I used the wizard to create a form. It did fairly well, but I'd like to replace a column of x number of boxes with a single form field that when i type into it, will orient the text vertically as the data will apply to all the rows in that column.
I've read things that say I can change the orientation of the form field in properties, but when i go to properties, none of the options (that I can find) allow it.
Thanks so much for the help.
Alexis

Thank you so much. I feel like such a dunce... it was staring me in the face for the last 3 hours.
Thanks again!

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.
