Creating Dependent Radio Boxes in Acrobat 9 Std

When creating a form in Acrobat 9 Standard, how can you make radio boxes dependent on each other?
For instance, one item in my form asks a question and the user can choose a "Yes" or "No" radio box. I want to prevent the user from being able to check both boxes.
In other instances, I want to prevent users from checking more than one box in a five-radio box sequence...I am hoping the solution is the same regardless of the number of radio boxes.

I see how to change the export value now. Within the field Properties, on the Options tab, the default Export Value is "On" and I can modify that to another value (not just "off"). I have changed the value to a number for example.

Thanks in advance :0

Hi,
I think that all you need to do is to look at how I implemented the dependent detail for querying the Employees select items
Then you make sure the DepartmentsVO and the EmployeesVO have bind variable to query them according to the pre-selected value in their respective master list

How to create a check box in Acrobat 9?

Hello all,
I remember in Acrobat 8 this would be very easy. Just go to Tools --> Advanced Editing --> Forms --> Check Box Tool. Here it is. But in Acrobat 9, I can no longer see this option. Somebody helps. Many thanks.

I am pretty sure the tool is still there. Adobe seems to enjoy moving the tools around, so try some of the other menus. If there is no forms menu there, try the advanced editing as the old location. It seems to have moved with every version.

How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row. For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons. With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row. Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons? Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row?
Thanks so much,
Andy

I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

Multiple shortcut toolbars in Adobe Acrobat x std

I'm looking for a way to have multiple shortcut toolbar lines in Adobe Acrobat X std. I don't like the drop down tool bar that is present. I use multiple addins in my toolbar and I want to see them all up in the toolbar for easy use. Is there a way to add multiple lines of toolbars instead of having the drop down overflow box?

You'll want to ask in the forum for Acrobat. This one is for the free Reader which cannot do any of this.
But to get you started, you can use Document>Extract pages to create a new file of the modified pages...

Can i create conditional Radio Buttons?

I'm creating forms in Acrobat 9 Pro.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create conditional Radio Buttons that only need to be checked if a certain box or button from another group is checked?
For example: the first group of buttons might show the days of the week. If Tuesday was chosen a choice would need to be made from a further group of buttons (say a choice of time - 9am, 10am or 11am.). If any other day was chosen a different choice might be required or none at all.
I hope this is clear.

Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.

Acrobat XI Std register issue on non-english os

Hi,
I'm deploying Acrobat XI via SCCM in unattended mode.
MST has been created with all settings EULA, license key, etc and following language options:
in "Installation Options" (silent mode):
Application Language English (US). No other options marked.
Also, I made some change in "Direct Editor" in "Property" table. "Lang list" has been changed to "en_US".
Installation and register works perfect on all "English" systems (by meaning English, it is location in OS). But on all non-English systems after installation following error occurs:
Of course no need to know norwegian to understand that this is something wrong with license key or installation itself. So started googling and this article found:
Error "Language mismatch between entered serial number and Acrobat launch language" | Windows
But what is strange, default language is English. Checked this in Acrobat option and in Modify option.
To clarify, I want to deploy Acrobat XI Std do different locations over the word with English language as default.
How to solve this issue?

I'm installing Adobe 11.0.0 above solution is for 11.0.1
I checked this key and couldn't find any difference HKLM\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\Language\current\ "acrobat.dll"
Also, checked wow6432Node and acrobat.dll was missing so I added it but this didn'r resolve whole issue.
I made additional tests today.
Downloaded package once again from: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
Created new MST files with different options options:
1. Install all language marked
but I'm getting error during installation (msiexec /i AcroStan.msi /qb TRANSFORMS=AcrobatXIStandard3.mst)
2. Only en_US chosen. Installation completed successfully. So i started to test Acrobat.
     a. Convert Web page to PDF -> OK
    b. Print to PDF -> License box appeard ! -> so I manually put there license key and got this freaky ERROR (S/N doesn't match) once again!
How hard it can be?

Populate textbox with radio box output

I have 2 sets of 5 radio boxes.
Set 1 - CHESTQTY
option1 - 100
option2 - 200
option3 - 300
option4 - 400
option5 - 500
Set 2 - BACKQTY
option1 - 1100
option2 - 1200
option3 - 1300
option4 - 1400
option5 - 1500
Basically I'm making an order form. When a user selects any option from the CHESTQTY radio box set, I need to output a specific number to a TOTAL box. The total is always $35.00 for any option selected from CHESTQTY.
But, they also have an option of also selecting from the BACKQTY radio box set. They are required to select at least a CHESTQTY but are not required to select a BACKQTY. But if they do select a BACKQTY also, I need to add an additional $85.00 to the previous $35.00.
I'm kind of new to Javascript, but a total rookie when it comes to Javascripting in Acrobat. I've searched the web forever and cannot find anything like this.
What it comes down to is this:
CHESTQTY is required. Adds $35.00 to a text box if any of the options are selected.
BACKQTY is optional, but if selected, also needs to add $85.00 to the previous $35.00.
Can anyone help with this?

If I understand what you're trying to achieve, the custom calculation script for the text field could be:
// Custom calculation script for text field
(function () {
    // Get the field values
    var v1 = getField("CHESTQTY").value;
    var v2 = getField("BACKQTY").value;
    // Create a variable for the sum
    var sum = 0;
    // Add 35 to the sum if any of the radio buttons is selected
    if (v1 !== "Off") sum += 35;
    // Add 85 to the sum if any of the other radio buttons is selected
    if (v2 !== "Off") sum += 85;
    // Set this field's value to the sum
    event.value = sum;

Radio boxes and display problems

Using InDesign CS6 to create radio buttons in my document, so that it shows a "tick" instead of a "circle" on Windows 7 OS, then exporting the document as an Interactive PDF to Acrobat Pro X.
Once the PDF is created, on my machine the radio boxes display correctly as square boxes, empty by default, you select one box, and a "tick" appears.
However, on the other Windows 7, Windows XP and Mac OSX (10.6.8) machines, the radio boxes display as circular selection boxes, empty by default, and when selected, it shows a "circle".
The "ticks" in the Indesign file are pathed objects, and not fonts being embedded, so that should not be a problem.
All the preference settings on all the machines are the same default settings as first installed.
The problem occurs in Acrobat Pro 9, X and Acrobat Reader X.
If you could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Just to add that when the page is printed (from any of the machines we have tested), it prints the "ticks".

Is there a way to create a contact box on photoshop and save as PDF?

Can someone explain how or where to find a tutorial to create a contact box on photoshop then save as a pdf? Thank you!

Contact box? Your question is not clear perhaps if there was one and only one standard contact box on planet Earth there would probably be more the one correct answer to you question. Please describe what your desired in the PDF file. If you want something that can be filled in like a contact form you may need to use a different Adobe product like Acrobat. Or something to create an HTML Page with a contact form.

Can't find download for Acrobat 9 STD--the Acrobat 9 download is for PRO, and my serial number not valid for PRO.

I'm switching to a new laptop, and I want to bring my Acrobat 9 STD with me. Deactivated it on the old laptop, went to the download page for Acrobat 9 and downloaded it, got to the part in the installation where I entered my serial number, and the installation wizard said it was invalid. That's when I noticed the download was for Acrobat 9 PRO, not STD. I used the support chat and explained it to the support person, and he gave me a link for the 9 STD download. Unfortunately, it was the same page. I downloaded it again. Still 9 PRO. Anyone else have any ideas where they're hiding the Acrobat 9 STD download?

Finding the file all depends on how you did the install and if you downloaded the install file. If the install file was downloaded to the TEMP folder, there is a slight chance it may still be there (should be in Windows>TEMP, not sure on MAC). It may have a name similar to the Pro download of AcroPro90_efg.exe. The Pro would be change to Std and I am not sure what the efg stands for. I would search for AcroStd9*.exe. There seems to be a download for AA 9 std available at http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-x-10-pro-reader-suite-direct-download-links-ddl.ht ml. I have no idea if that works. I had found one place where a staff member said he is working on getting links up for all the older versions, not just the trials (that are Pro). I simply searched on Google for Acrobat 9 Standard files. I can't find the message by the staff, but there is one in the last week or two as I recall where a staff member was providing links for folks on an individual basis.

Acrobat X Std - issue with watermarking/estamp

Hi,
we have an issue with Acrobat X display watermarking/estamp created by Acrobat 9 std.
The estamp is consisted of 2 parts - the signature and a stamp. The signature should be on top of the stamp. All the formatting and transparency looked perfect in Acrobat 9 or Reader 9. We tested with Foxit Reader too, no problem.
However, Acrobat X Std could not display it correctly. The signature and the stamp seemed like overlapping with each other and no any transparency. I would assume it's a setting somewhere in Acrobat X, since the older version and the Foxit Reader all had no issues.
Please help.
Thanks!
Ben

Add Word Data to List Box in Acrobat 9 Pro

Hey Guys,
Brand new user. Is it possible to add a list composed in MS word to a list box in Acrobat 9 Pro without entering them manually one at a time? I am using Windows XP Professional.
Thanks!

I never could express myself well...maybe that's why I'm in IT.
I have a PDF file. Rather than printing it out and filling in the PDF form I want to put a text box on top of the lines on which I would write.
I have my signature scanned in and is a stamp which I glom on at the end of the document, so for all intents and purposes the finished document is as good as a printed out, filled in, faxed back document. Saves paper, trees, the whales, all that good stuff.
HOWEVER, I am mentally challenged when it comes to changing the font size (or font type) for that matter of the text that goes inside the text box that you create from the toolbar.
I can select the text and make it bold, etc. I can change the color of the text box border and background, but for the life of me can't find where the text SIZE is located.
Thanks,
John
