Fillable fields "only if"

Hi, I create fillable fields on a form in which existing values are to be completed only when a checkbox is checked.
My problem is this:
Page1
[name] (manually compiled)
[Last name] (manually compiled)
[Address] (manually compiled)
[etc...] (manually compiled)
[etc...] (manually compiled)
Page2
[x] [name] (self-compiled from the previous field)
     [Last name] (self-compiled from the previous field)
     [Address] (self-compiled from the previous field)
     [etc...] (self-compiled from the previous field)
     [etc...] (self-compiled from the previous field)
[ ] [name] (field empty because no check mark)
     [Last name] (field empty because no check mark)
     [Address] (field empty because no check mark)
     [etc...] (field empty because no check mark)
     [etc...] (field empty because no check mark)
Obviously if you check the second checkbox will empty the field name, last name, address, etc... on it when it should self-compiled one below.
I do not know if you understand well with my Italian and translated the problem I have, you can do something like this in adobe professional?

Ok!
Thank you! It works great!
I just forgot to specify that the choices are more than two, more likely 3 as the image below.
The text is in Italian but maybe the concept is understandable: if I check the box "A) Nuovo cliente" must be filled in the related fields taken from another spreadsheet above; if you check the box "B) Cliente titolare di..." must be empty fields of A) and compiled those of B) and so on ... Idem for the "C) Cliente occasionale".

How to print out fillable fields only

I'm a newb, help! I am trying to create a form in LiveCycle.
I have brought in a pdf, made some fillable fields. So far so good, here's where I'm struggling.
I want the recipient of the pdf to fill out the forms, (while still seeing the pdf in the background), BUT when they print, I want them to ONLY print out the information that they filled in the fillable fields.
So basically, they receive a document in Adobe Reader, it has a pdf in the background, and they fill in some fields, then they place a page in their printer to just print the fillable fields only.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

"You can control the visibility of objects using the presence property"
Here is where I get confused. I understand that you can change the visibilty in this area, but I want the pdf background that is part of my form to be the area that doesn't print, so I can't understand how I highlight that particular area to switch it to "screen only" because it isn't really considering a text field or anything like that, it was just a pdf that I imported from the start and then built all my text fields on top of.

I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form into Microsoft Word or notepad....Help! thank you!

I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form I created in Adobe X Pro into a Microsoft Word or Notepad document. Please help! Thank you!!

I have created a fillable form. Part of the information from that form needs to be copied and sent to another department at work. Once i complete the fillable form (e.g. select options from a drop down, enter test in test boxes that are on the form) when i copy that section, i only get the non-fillable information pasted into word or notepad, the drop down selections and fillable text do not copy.

When I fill fields on a form and ask to print using form fields only, the infomation doesn't show up. Other people in the office use the same form with no problem. Using XI standard.

I have a fillable form that is used by everyone in the office. When the fields are filled we print using the form fields only option to print on our invoices. When I go to print it in Acrobat XI standard using the form fields only option, none of the information I filled shows up or prints. No one else in the office has this problem. Does anyone know why I can't do this, but other people can?

Adding a logo to a fillable field

Is there a way to add a logo to a fillable field (i.e. jpeg, bitmap , tiff, etc.) ? For example, if one of our users wants to put their individual company's logo on the top one of our standard agency forms to personalize it for their use. Thanks for the help!!

Hi, Ken:
I am not sure which version of Acrobat you are using, so I am going to respond based on Acrobat 9 Pro. I am not sure whether this applies to other versions or not.
Also, I am not sure if I am going to be answering your question or not, but I have two responses:
1) If you are simply trying to insert an image, whether in a form or non-form PDF, but simply display the Touch-up Object tool. (No need to be in Forms editing mode) When you point to the area you wish to insert the image, right-click and select Place Image. Locate your image and it will insert the image into the PDF. You will likely need to resize, but there it is.
2) If you want an interactive button with a logo, while in Forms editing mode, click the Button icon (in Add/Edit Fields, the "OK" icon in the list of field codes). Name the field, and go to the Options tab.
a) Select Layout and choose any one of those options with "Icon" as part of the choice. If you want the image only, choose Icon Only.
b) Click Choose Image. Click Browse to locate the image. Note: You may need to change the File Type from PDF to JPG or whatever the image extension is.
c) By default, Invert is the Behavior default. Invert usually works just fine. Of course, choose whichever works best for you.
d) If you wish to associate any Actions to the button, click the Actions tab and make your choices.
e) Also, if the image you've selected does not cover the entire button and you don't want the default Fill color, click the Appearance tab and change the Fill Color to No Color (or whatever color you want). Click OK, when done.
f) If you do not want anyone to be able to click on the button (because you just want it to be a logo), make sure you go onto the General tab and choose Read Only (located at the bottom right of that dialog box).
g) Resize the button to whatever size you prefer.
Voila! You're done!
I hope I've answered your question. If not, perhaps you could clarify what you are seeking a bit more.

Acrobat 9 - "Title" for fillable field

I'm new to creating forms with Acrobat, so I'm afraid I don't know the lingo. I apologize in advance.
Is there a way to give a "title" to a fillable field that is only visable until the user selects the field?
For example, if I want to create a section like this:
TO: Name
Company
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Phone Number
And when you click on "Name" it disappears and I can type my name there, etc.
Instead of having to do this:
TO: Name: Kat
Company: ABC Co.
Street Address: 123 Main St.
City: Timbuktu
State: HI
Zip: 12345
Does that make sense?

Yes, you can set the tab order. In Acrobat 9 first go into form editing mode by selecting: Forms > Add or Edit Fields
You'll then see the list of fields on the left of the window. You arrange them by clicking and dragging on the field name. Unfortuately, you can only select one field at a time and the order can be automatically rearranged as you edit and move fields, so it can be rather tedious if you have a lot of fields.
Acrobat 11 allows you to select multiple fields at once when changing the tab order as well as provide a means to prevent this automatic reordering.

Print form fields only

I've created a fillable form in Acrobat 9 Pro from a Word doc. I need to print a listing of all field names in the document (and what they relate to) - when I go to the print dialogue box, there's an option for "print field names only" but it only results in a blank piece of paper. How can I get the field names only (I don't want any data within the fields only the field names themselves)? I see them on the screen in edit mode, but can't seem to locate a way to print them out.
Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated!

There is only a option 'print fields only'. With this option you can print the filled fields only.

Crystal Report: Show Field only in Print-Preview

Dear Experts,
is it possible to show a field only in the print preview (when the report is generated) without printing this field?
Thanks for Help.
Jacqueline

No, it is not possible to display a report object on screen then suppress it when printing.

Who thinks you would have to use 2 reports or use a parameter that offers the option of formatting for view versus for print...

How can I add a character to the end of any text that is entered into a fillable field?

I am creating a fillable PDF in the form of a business letter. To start the letter, the form has Dear [fillable field for name]. I need a script that will enter a colon after the person inputs their name. I have an Acrobat JavaScript scripting reference guide, but do not know where to start.
Thanks in advance.

Use this script as the field's custom format code:
if (event.value) event.value+=":";

How to restrict AS02 access to certain fields only

How to restrict AS02 (Asset Master Record) access to certain fields only. Currently when you assigned AS02 to a certain user, this will enable the user to change all the fields in the asset master record. Suppose i want only the user to restrict the access to certain field eg.NDJAR (Life in Yrs).
Thanks for your inputs.
Regards,
Robert

hello,
basis has to assign the proper activity with object A_S_ANLKL. in this case they have to allow activity 03 only with combination of Cocode,asset class. see some more details below.
This authorization object is the first part of the object "asset master record."
The definition at this level determines whether the user is authorized to process data in a given company code. The activity type for the transaction is also defined here. This authorization object is used for master data transactions, for the display of value fields, and for reporting.
Defined Fields
The following fields are assigned to the authorization object
Asset class (specified by entering a value in the pop-up window)
Company code (specified by entering a value in the pop-up window)
Activity type - there are three different activity types:
01 = Create
02 = Change (including blocking and deleting)
03 = Display

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

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

Printing "Form Fields Only" not working correctly in Adobe XI

I have a pdf form with fields including check boxes. If I print this form with all fields it prints correctly, but if I select "Form Fields Only" then all check boxes print as checked regardless of whether or not they are checked. When I use this form in earlier versions of Adobe I do not get this problem. Any ideas or solutions?

Also the "PrintParams" properties require version 6 or above of Acrobat/Reader.
One has to review the Acrobat JavaScript API for all sorts of version variations in the way Acrobat's JS object works. And the documention is not always correct.

How can I copy information from Excel and Paste it into a fillable field?

I have a job site quote fillable packet that I go through when quoting a new job. I also have a fullly detailed excel sheet with all sorts of pricing and data. When I am done filling out the excel sheet, the numbers all compile into a new area that is broken down by phases of the project.
On the last page of the fillable packet I have an estimate page, a spot where I can input the pricing for each phase of the project, each individual field (there are six) then totals into a fillable field on the bottom of the page.
Currently I have to select the 6 consecutive cells in excel, open up my PDF, paste the information in a text box, then manually type in each line item.
Is there a way for me to create a field that I could paste excel sheet data in? Is there a table or some way to paste each cell into one of six text fields?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

All that should be necessary is to open the ebook, highlight what you wish to copy with the cursor (hold left click, and drag to the end of the section you wish), then either right click and choose copy OR command + c on your keyboard, then move the cursor to the desired section of your Word document, and either right click and choose paste OR command + V to paste the selection.

How to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file?

hi!
I’d like to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file I-485 from www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf
I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows XP. I firstly tried Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the I-485 file requires password to be opened, which I don’t know.
Then I tried to print it to a PDF file, and use the Typewriter tool to fill in the form. But got error message while printing it to PDF file:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
The I-485 file can be exported to unencrypted postscript file, but got the same error message while trying to open the ps file.
I don’t know much about pdf file, can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot!

Ask the creator of the file for a unprotected version.
