Editable fields in Acrobat DC

How do I create edible fields in Acrobat DC. I need contain font size, font and color. Please help

Hey George,
I'm running into another issue. Once I have created the editable field I can't seem to change the text color to CMYK. It keeps defaulting back to RGB.
I open the CMYK slider, I change the color. I click off the color slider box and then click close/save.  When I go back into the text box after saving the file
it is back on RGB.

  • Editing Form Fields inside Acrobat? (after using LiveCycle Designer)

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended ==  Acrobat
    LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 == LiveCycle Designer
    =========================================
    Say I downloaded a new PDF from the interwebs.
    I want to add some forms fields so I go to Forms ==> Add or Edit Fields... (inside Acrobat)
    Now Acrobat will detect possible places where to add the form fields. I make changes etc. Then I am  satisfied with my form fields.
    Now say I want to remove a particular object from the PDF, lets take an image as an example.
    So I fire up  LiveCycle Designer; File ==> New ==> Import a PDF document ==>  Create an Interactive Form with a Flowable Layout.
    I remove that pesky little object.
    In LiveCycle Designer, I save the file as PDF.
    I open up Acrobat. I realize I need to make some more changes to some of the Form  Fields.
    But now instead of "Add or Edit Fields..." option I get "Edit Form in  Designer..."
    I hate the GUI of LiveCycle Designer --- I had rather edit the form  fields from inside Acrobat, as it is easy and fast to change multiple  form fields in a few clicks.

    Thank you Niall for the above response; Your response gave me an idea which allowed me to remove that line by zooming in to 200%
    You know Acrobat detects Form Fields for you.
    But many times it makes mistakes, for example in the screenshot below it made the boxes that came with the PDF as text fields instead of check boxes.
    The thing is rather than me delete the (form) fields it detected, and start over by making new check boxes, I will not be able to place my new check box in exact locations as Acrobat has done.
    When I imported the fields that Acrobat made into LC (by saving the PDF in Acrobat and then opening it with LC) I get option to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box when I right click the object.
    Is there a similar way to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box inside Acrobat? Any suggestions?
    ===========
    I would really like to do it inside Acrobat because then if I have to make some minor changes to some field properties, all my hard work which I did by filling the fields gets deleted, as I am forced to use LC. The text I add to the fields don't get deleted when I edit the field properties inside Acrobat. I don't know why LC decides to delete all the text which is filled out in the form fields even though the PDF is saved in Acrobat before being imported into LC?
    Here is the above PDF file with the text boxes:

    Again thanks for all your guidance so far.

  • Can't see "Add or Edit Fields" menu in Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2

    I am trying to edit the fields of an Adobe form from one of my co-workers.  We both are running Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2.  She is able to see the Forms-->"Add or Edit Fields" menu, while I cannot.
    I cannot get this menu item to show?  Can someone tell me if there is an option or setting to enable so that I can get to this menu item?
    Here is a screenshot of the form:
    Here is a screenshot of the Adobe Acrobat version we are running:
    Thanks,
      Ted

    Finally found a work around to my problem.  Here are the steps:
    (1) The original form.  Note missing "Add or Edit Fields" menu item.
    (2) Click on Document-->Extract Pages
    (3) The following dialog pops up.  Since I am only working with a 1 page form I accept the defaults and click OK.
    (4) The following window is launched.  Now I just save the newly generated form:
    (5) Now when I check the Forms menu, I finally see the "Add or Edit Fields" item:  Yay!!!!
    (6) In checking the Document Properties of the new form, the Application (PScript5.dll)  and PDF Producer (GPL Ghostscript 8.15) metadata is still the same as before:
    Still don't know why I couldn't get to the "Add or Edit Fields" menu item in the original form.  After doing the Extract, now I am able to get to it.   At this point that's all I care about right now.
    Thanks George for helping me investigate this issue!

  • Editable fields in oracle report

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone can help what I am trying to create is a PDF oracle report with an editable field at the end of the report. The user would use this field to type comments about the report and then save the file with the comments attached.
    I did a search but couldn't really find anything relevant apart from this thread here: Re: How to add to report in pdf format editable fields but it looks like that was never answered.
    Users have access to Adobe Acrobat so an alternative solution could be just to create a rectangle and tell the users to write in that but it is not an ideal solution.
    If it is not possible in oracle reports we are also licensed for BI Publisher but as of yet I haven't been able to find anything that would do this using that tool either.
    Regards,
    Chad

    with an editable field at the end of the report.In Reports the user cannot add text after generation of the report. So, do it before generating the report. Add a parameter p_comment to the data model and add this to the parameter form (or whatever form you use to call the report, e.g. from Forms) and create a text field at the end of the report.

  • How to edit text in a form edited in LCD / Acrobat 9?

    So I have a few minor edits to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat Pro 9.  Apparently this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the latest versions.  When I try to edit it in Acrobat XI I get the message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat" but I have no way to edit the text in LCD.
    Are users of forms from release 9 really stranded?

    I may still have a version of AA9 available to play with. If so, I will try to check things out and see if there are alternatives. Of course, you could recreate the form in Acrobat XI (that is where printing to a new PDF or extracting the info would be useful). You could also try Forms Central that is part of XI. It may be that Forms Central can deal with a LCD form, never tried it (but I tend to doubt it). If you did not use any of the fancy features of LCD forms, you might be better off just transferring it to AcroForms in XI.
    OK, I opened an AcroForms file in Designer for AA9 and saved. I then opened the file in AA9 and was surprised that I would edit the text of the form. When I went to edit the form fields it took me to Designer as would be expected. I played around in Designer a bit and could not find a way to edit the text, but the text could be edited in AA9. I think this is what you had described.
    I then opened the LCD form in AA XI and found the same result that you did. I was not able to edit either the text or the forms. However, I was able to export the form with most fields to DOCX. The result was pretty good for the form I was working with (suggesting it had reasonable tagging -- but that may also have been done by Designer, I am not sure). There were a few form fields that did not seem to come out, but most did on the 4 page form. I then used PDF Maker to create a new PDF and the result gave most of the form fields, similar to the docx file. It may be that this conversion process might be the most useful, unless you possibly have a form with dynamic fields that is unique in Designer.
    Hope that at least clarifies a few things for all of us and gives you some ideas. You might find additional input from the folks in the forms sub-forum.

  • How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

    Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form  is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
    I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout.  Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

    It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
    You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
    iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
    You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
    Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

    Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

  • Annotation/tag numbers on fillable fields in Acrobat Pro 9.pdf

    I would like to know how I can prevent the annotation or tag number from displaying and printing when I create editable fields on my document using Acrobat Pro 9.  This ruins my documents because these numerical annotations/tags display on top of any editable or fillable fields in my document.  I cannot seem to find an option or setting that will make sure that they never display on the document. 

    I think this is due to some sort of bug. A number of people have reported this but I've never been able to dupplicate it, even when I've had access to the same document. All I can suggest is trying (in this order):
    1. Apply the latest updates to Acrobat 9
    2. Repair Acrobat (Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
    3. If there's no difference, deactivate, uninstall, and reinstall Acrobat

  • How to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, a

    how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

    Easiest way to do it is the following:
    - Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
    - Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
    - Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
    - Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
    - Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
    - Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
    - Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
    - Select the edited XML file and import it.
    - Done!

  • Convert text in PDF to editable field in Reader

    Hi,
    Is there a way in Acrobat Pro to convert text in the PDF to an editable field so that someone opening the PDF in Reader would be able to amend the text. Or do you actually have to make the text in Acrobat?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jackie

    It can probably be achieved with a script, but if you only need to do it once, I think doing it manually is the best way to go.

  • Export to PDF with editable fields...

    Does anyone know if you can export to a PDF and keep editable fields? I have a 10 page form which was created in Pages but now needs to be turned into a PDF users can fill out I was hoping there may be an easy way to do this?

    You might take a look at PDFpen, especially the "Pro" version. But I think you might need the full version of Acrobat to create fillable forms.

  • Text in editable fields in PDF form won't show up once attached to email

    This is probably something new to Acrobat 9 and just don't know enough about it yet. I had previously been using Acrobat 5 and made the big jump to 9. I use Acrobat to create editable fields for an invoice template that I occasionally email to customers. I open my blank template, type in invoice information (template was created in QuarkXpress then saved as a PDF) and resave renaming the file by the invoice number, then usually print a copy for mailing. Sometimes customers want the invoice emailed to them instead. Now, on my new iMac whenever I email the invoice, the customer gets it ok, but the fields appear to be blank or only show the blue field box. I emailed one to myself at another computer running XP Professional and the same thing happens only I can click on one of the blue fields and the information I typed there appears, but only one box at a time. Once I click another field the previous one disappears again. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

    Most likely you used the Preview application to fill and save the PDF, rather than Acrobat. The behavior you describe is a known problem. I recently wrote a small article that has more information: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
    Although the site seems to be a bit slow at the moment.
    Here's a link to a recent topic here where this was discussed: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3268674

  • Create Blank Signature Field in Acrobat 9

    Looks stupid, but I don't find the way to create blank signature fields in Acrobat 9 pro, I need it to pass the file on so that Reader users can sign it.
    To sign and then delete the signature (leaving the blank signature field) is not a valid alternative, this will need to be done by many (not only me).
    Regards, Luis

    Thank you Tim, I finally got the the correct place to create this blank signature fields.
    Forms: Add or Edit fields (Shift+Ctrl+7):
    Forms: Form Tools: Digital Signature   or   (right mouse button click): Digital Signature:
    Not as easy as it was but it's there.
    Thanks a lot.

  • I have a fillable form that's already been made. I need to edit fields by moving them and I need to add new fields. How do I do that?

    I have a form that was made by someone else. I need to move fields and add new fields in the same box. How do I do that?

    If the form was created in Acrobat and you have Acrobat, you should be able to edit the fields by selecting: Tools > Forms > Edit
    This is for Acrobat 11. If the PDF has security restrictions that prevent editing or was created with LiveCycle Designer, you won't be able to edit it in Acrobat. If security was applied, you'll need to know the password in order to remove it to allow editing.

  • Dynamic stamps with multiple editable fields

    Our Accounting department wants to go completely digitable with invoices.
    For them to be able to do this they require a stamp that has several editable fields such as
    General Ledger number
    Financial Controllers name
    Comments
    Date
    Approval status
    They want to be able to stamp a PDF invoice and then fill in the fields manually.
    I cannot find a stamp that will do this.  I tried a couple add-in stamp apps for Acrobat 9 but they did not offer this kind of feature.
    Thanks

    Hi teede,
    We have begun publishing a large amount of information on creating/developing custom dynamic stamps  at www.pdfscripting.com due to the number of requests for information on these powerful PDF workflow tools.  It is a membership site requiring a paid membership for full access to all content, but we recently published a free video "PDF Stamps Gone Wild!" on the home page under Featured Videos that shows many possibilities for what you can do with custom dynamic stamps.
    We'll be adding downloads of some the stamp files shown in the video over the next few weeks.
    Hope this helps,

  • Forms editing crippled in Acrobat 8 (8.2.1) under Snow Leopard?

    My CPU is pegged at 100% when trying to edit forms in Acrobat 8 (8.2.1) at the moment. I only recently updated to Snow Leopard and was wondering if ayone else was experiencing the same issue or if there are any known fixes? Another possibility is a recent update I did to Acrobat post-Snow Leopard install. Is there a way to roll back to a previous iteration of Acrobat to see if that helps?
    TIA!
    Richard

    Here is another oddity, beyond the CPU issue when dealing with forms: it seems to be impossible to select all, and copy and paste fields to a new document. It will select all the fields but will only paste one of them. This is a massive problem since I don't know of any other way to trasfer fields from one document to another...
    Kind of desperate here, if anyone can help...
