Editing images in Adobe Reader

I have set up a form template in Indesign, using form fields, so that customers can edit their contact information and image. I know that you can edit this information in Acrobat, but is it possible to edit these things in Adobe Reader? I have opened the document in Reader, but it looks like I can only edit the text. My main question is this: is it possible to edit the images in Reader like you can in Acrobat? Thanks for any help.

HI kyleatpulp
Adobe Reader is a free product to view PDF files only, You cannot edit files using Adobe Reader. Please use acrobat to edit the pdf files.

Problems displaying an image on Adobe Reader 8.1.2

Hi guys,
We are trying to display a JPG image in an InteractiveForm. So, we set an Image (StaticImage) to be loaded using the following Formcalc script on Page Initialize event:
StaticImage1.value.image.href = $record.ImageURL
On our last project, we could display a JPG image with Adobe Reader 6 (with some alert messages), 7 and 8 (7 and 8 fully functional). But in this one, the same solution doesn't work. The unique difference between both solutions is the URL format. Last project displays an image based on a normal URL ("http://app.client.com/photo/1234.jpg"), and in the current project we create a PNG or JPG image based on a JFreeChart, generating an URL to access it ("http://server1:54321/webdynpro/resources/vendor.com/..(long)../graph43211234.jpg").
When we load it using a computer with Adobe Reader 7.0.x installed, the bellow message is displayed requesting an action:
"Acrobat is attempting to connect to the site:
http://server1:54321/webdynpro/resources/vendor.com/..(long)../graph43211234.jpg
If you trust the site click "Allow", otherwise click "Block".
Possible actions: Block, Allow and a check "Remember my action for the site: server1"
Allowing the connection, the images are displayed. But, in a machine with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed, sometimes it asks for permission to access the URL, sometimes not. And, in both cases, in this version it doesn't display the images...
Can anyone shed any light on this? Also, is there a way to block this annoying message?
Regards,
Douglas Frankenberger
P.S.:
1 - The Image is not marked as Embedded. This option don't seems to make any difference, as on our last project the StaticImage was not flaged as Embed, but the JPG file was embeded in the PDF anyway...
2 - Interactive Form display type: native. Mode: updateDataInPDF
3 - In current project, when we set the same image the we had set on the old project, it loads successfully. Also, the generated JFreeChart image is fully accessible when displayed directly in IE using its URL.
4 - Versions:
- Client: Windows XP Professional
- NWDS 7.0.10
- Adobe Livecycle 7.0.50519.0
- Adobe Reader: 7.0.8, 7.0.9 and 8.1.2

Hi Amita.
We already tried it (checked / unchecked), but it seems to make no difference. There is a strange behavion on this:
- When I set it checked, on a computer disconnected from the web and running Adobe Reader 7.0.9, it asks for permission to access a resource (as I said before). In this case, even disconnected, it shows up my image independent of allowing/blocking the access to the external resource. In other words, it is embedded (I think...), but continues asking for access anyway.
- The same scenery above, but using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 instead of 7.0.9.... sometimes it asks for permission, sometimes not. But in both cases, it doesn't display the images...

Editing text in adobe reader

The free Reader has never been capable of editing PDF files. Perhaps you used to have Acrobat?

Prevent repositioning text elements in an editable PDF in Adobe Reader?

Hi!
I've made a business card using editable text fields using Tools > Content > Add or Edit Text Box. To make it possible for my client to update the text fields the PDF are saved using File > Save as > Render Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features. Ok, so now when the client opens the business card in Adobe Reader (not Acrobat Pro) to fill out some new information for a new employee for instance they just click each text to fill out some new info. So far so good. But I noticed that it's also possible to move around those editable textfields within Adobe Reader which I really don't want! How can I look them in place preventing the client to move around them?
Thanks!

Thanks for your quick respond!
I'm trying to edit the "Security Method" in the "Security" tab with no luck. It says "You cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified". At the bottom of the security tab following information is displayed "* This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), choose File > Save as Copy. I tried this but still don't have it working.
First, what security method do I need to set it to? I can see the option Filling of form fields - Not allowed * but is not allowed to select any Security method at all?

I NEED A GURU...How do I add editable hyperlink in Adobe Reader?

Hi - I have a perplexing problem that I desperately need to find a solution to fast........
I have created an interactive PDF in LiveCycle that you can amend the text and image fields in the free Adobe Reader. My problem is that I need whoever uses the form to be able to alter one of the text fields and then attach a hyperlink on to the text.
It is the hyperlink part that I cannot find the answer to.
Is there a way of creating a field in LiveCycle that will allow someone to attach or edit a hyperlink? This step needs to be done in the Adobe Free Reader.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Wendy-G

No way that I'm aware of.

How do I print a mirror image in adobe reader

How do I print a mirror image of a file saved in adobe reader?

Not possible. I don't even think such a feature is available in Acrobat.
You need some kind of image editing software (like Photoshop or Gimp) to do that.

Can I add or edit images in a Reader Extended PDF?

Can a Acrobat Reader add or update an image in a Reader Extended editable pdf?

Hi tms5656,
Adding or editing an image isn't something that you can do in Adobe Reader, whether the PDF is Reader Extended, or not. But, you can do that in Acrobat. And, you're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days, if you would like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

Edit pdf with Adobe Reader Pro XI?

How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe Reader Pro XI?

"How" very much depends on what exactly you want to achieve. Basically you open it in Acrobat, then use the tools to edit it. You may need to perform text recognition (OCR) if the document is a scanned image.
If you need details how to do certain edits, you better ask in the Acrobat forum (Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs).

Pulling Images From Adobe Reader PDF File

I was sent some artwork in a Adobe Reader PDF. How do I pull the images out of it to use? Thanks.

Don't know that you can with Reader. You should ask in the Reader forum that is linked at the top of this forum. In Acrobat it is easy, but Reader does not have the editing capabilities of Acrobat and it is probably not directly possible.

Creating a PDF from an image using Adobe Reader 9.0

Hi, I've converted a bitmap image to Adobe PDF using Adobe Reader 9.0. I was able to open and read the file but not to modify it. The resulting file ended up being password protected. I do not have a password. I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Can you help?

I used an application called Bloomberg (feed with investment info) from where I was offered to convert an image into a PDF to save it. The laptop on that station is loaded with Acrobat Reader 9.0.

Please assist, i'm having trouble with seeing my images in adobe reader XI

I'm creating a presentation in google docs but when i download it as a pdf and view the file in adobe reader XI some of the photos that shows up perfectly in google docs is not appearing in adobe.
All i see is an empty box where the image should be with a red 'X' inside of it. This happens for quite a few images throughout the presentation.

I do not know Google Docs; is it Google that creates the PDF file? If so, you should ask Google what's happening.

Issue with .GIF images in Adobe Reader 10

Hello,
It seems when you open our PDFs (created in Adobe Acrobat 4) with Adobe Reader X (version 10), .GIF images appear to be greyed out. This doesn't happen with .JPGs, only GIFs.
Anyone have any insight into why this is happening? It is causing a number of issues for our clients.

We our using Acrobat 4 within our application, which creates PDF files that are emailed out to the general public, so we cannot control the computer that it is opened on. From troubleshooting, the images appear fine in Reader 6,7,8 and 9.
A sample file can be found here: https://sendnow.acrobat.com/?i=x9fiKCw*GAP6LhNXco1YSQ

Can't find the content editing tool in Adobe Reader XI

The website lists XI as being able to edit content. I have checked all of the help topics and they say that it should be under tools. But all that is listed is: Export PDF, Create PDF, Send Files, and Store Files. Do I have to download the content editing tool? How/where do I do that?

you are mixing up Adobe Reader (free) and Adobe Acrobat ($$)
