Fillable PDF with graphics instead of text?

Is there a way to create a fillable PDF where you import a graphic instead of just typing text in?
I have a form that will be used by and organization with multiple chapters. They would like the Fillable PDF made so that each chapter can just drop in their own chapter logo into the form and print. Is there a way to do this without me having to create a different PDF for each chapter with their own logo in it?
thanks

There is if it doesn't have to work with Reader. This was discussed in a recent topic here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4082243#4082243
A form created with LiveCycle Designer will allow Reader to populate an image field with images of certain formats, but the button approach is far more flexible, apart from the Reader issue.

Pdf (with graphics and text) in the email body

When I place an pdf (with graphics and text) in the body of my email using Mac Mail my recipient sees them as attachments only. I am trying to find a way of presenting a formatted email with graphics that will appear the same way to all recipients, but a pdf frequently ends up being an attachment instead of staying in the body. The pdf file doesn’t seem to always show up in the body as created. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

You have no control over how your email maybe rendered by other email servers and client side software.
Attachment Tamer may give you a few more options but it does not guaranty the end result.

Using a fillable PDF with a FormsCentral Link collection.

I want to inport a fillable PDF and then use the Forms Central link distribution to collect responses vs sending out the fillable PDF with a submit button. How do I do that ?

Good day,
Our CreatePDF service does not allow you to create fillable PDF files. You can find an overview of CreatePDF's features here: https://www.acrobat.com/createpdf/en/features.html
For this capability, you need Adobe Acrobat.
There is no upgrade path from CreatePDF to Adobe Acrobat available.
Kind regards,
David

PDF displaying characters instead of text

I have a user that is trying to view a PDF using Acrobat X and has random characters display instead of text. Other users with Acrobat X are able to view the document fine as well as other users who have previous version of Reader. I have tried running a repair on the installation as well as disabling protected mode at startup. Any idead on what to do? This is on the display for this user not printing.
Thanks,
Chris

As Jogn said you would have to use the planning connection. The smart lists used in planning are not in Essbase. Essbase stores the smartlist ID number not the text value.

Creating a Fillable PDF with Acrobat Pro 9

Hey there, i've got a problem when trying to create a fillable PDF Document.
I simple want to get a calculation done.
I got Checkboxes and i need a calculation like this:
For example:
If there is a "x" in the field named checkbox1, then it should go forward and check what number is in the Field named "Hours1"
if its higher than 2, it should put a 0,25 in the field, if higher than 4, put a 0,5 in the field, if higher than 6, put a 0,75 in the field and if higher than 8, put a 1 in the field and if nothing is written in hours1, leave it blank
Like:
If checkbox1 > 0 then if hours1 > 2 then 0,25 else if hours1 > 4 then 0,5 else if > 6 then 0,75 else if > 8 then 1 else ""
i used this calculation on excel but now we wanted to send a fillable pdf via email, but the recievers of the email always mix up the calculation, so i wanted to have it already in the pdf and calculating by it own.
i found basic things like field1 + field2 but i just saw that i need javascript to get what i need.
but well, i dont have any idea of JS.
maybe u can give me some links where i can learn it or something else.
iam looking forward to any help i recieve.
thanks for reading and i hope u can help me.

"Automatic Form Recognition" looks for blank areas next to text and assumes the format.
You probably will need to place each individual form and write each script.
You can find articles at Planet PDF and Acrobat Users Community and there a number of books on how to create and program forms.

Can't download or open a fillable pdf with Windows 8.1 - desperately need help!

My son is working on a Boy Scout Eagle project. He recently got a computer with Windows 8.1. I also have Windows 8.1 on my computer. Neither of us are able to open the Eagle service project workbook fillable pdf form he already started and emailed to himself from his old computer or to download a new form from the BSA website. The latest version of Adobe pdf reader (11) is installed on both our machines. Here is the page from which we are to download the form:
Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook Procedures
Can anyone help us?

Have you tried opening the PDF directly from Adobe Reader? Windows 8.1 included Microsoft Reader, which is far less capable than Adobe Reader, and can't work with XFA-based PDF forms like the one you're trying to use.

Download and then open PDFs with Preview instead of viewing PDFs within Safari

hello, I am running Safari 6.0.2 and since this update PDF files are automatically opened within Safari. This seems to be a new feature. In my older version of Safari whenever I clicked a pdf it was downloaded to my "Downloads" folder and then automatically opened with Preview. The option open "safe" files after downloading in Safari -> Preferences -> General is ticked. So as soon as a download a PDF file it should automatically be opened with Preview. However, I cannot figure out how to download a PDF file from a google link. I googled and people suggested to use alt + mouse click on the google search result link to download the PDF. However, whenever I tried this instead of downlading the PDF file it downloads a .html file which is then apparently not opened. Also using the option "download linked file" or "download linked file as" only downloads a url.html file and not the PDF. I searched and searched for any possible solutions but cannot find any. I am really suprised that no one has yet really complained about that. Any ideas of how to fix that problem?

I had a similar probem after updating to the newest Safari -- and I posted that question on the forum this morning. Like you, I didn't have any adobe plug-ins. then I read another post that made sense:
find a pdf document that you know opens in Preview. Do a command-I on that document's icon. Then you'll see 1/2 way down an item that says "open with Preview" - click on the arrow beside that, then beside it you'll see "use this application to open all documents like this one" Under that, you'll see "change all" -- and it will change all pdfs to automatically open with Preview instead of Adobe.From then on Safari worked perfectly
Then I wondered why I didn't have the Adobe plug-in that people were telling me to disable - so I downloaded Adobe Reader again - looked in the library and sure enough there was the plug-in - so I went ahead and disabled the Adobe pdf plug-in (by dumping it in the trash).
so far so good -- first time that Safari 6.02 has worked for me since I installed it.

Unable to Fill in Fillable PDF with Adobe Reader 11

I have created a fillable pdf using adobe designer 9 and have saved it to be compatible with reader. I sent out the form to several collegues and one person wrote back that they are having issues. The person has adobe reader 11 and cannot save the form. Is this an adobe reader 11 issues since other collegues with a different version of reader are able to open the document. Is this a known issue and is there a solution?
Please advise. Thank you in advance,
Ashley

No problem! the person just got back to me. Thank you again for all your help.
- Operating system she is using is windows XP (she said 10 in her response, but I think she meant XP)
- Reader version: Adobe XI
- Form is posted on a website in which users can click and download to their computer to fill out, save, and send back. Here is the link for the actual form : http://www.transceleratebiopharmainc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TransCelerate-Site-Pro file-Form.pdf
- form is downloaded by click on the link on the website, browser would be any that the user has on their computer. for the person with the issue she is using Internet Explorer.
- The person gets and error message. The top of her form is purple and reads : " Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."

Fillable PDF with Electronic writing

Hey all:
I created a fillable form in Acrobat Pro 9. Works very well with the check boxes and text fields. The problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to make a field that allows you to write in it electronically. There is a form we are creating that requires a signature and we have Tablet PC's so it would be create to create a form people can sign with the stylus pen right on the screen. The users will be opening this in Adobe Reader (9 or 10). Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
Zach Skidmore

Thanks! that provides a suitable work around that I need.

Opening a pdf with ai then having text problems.

Hello people
When i open a PDF document in ai i get a problem with the text. All paragraphs of text are no longer grouped, it is if i have used a type box for every single letter. The spacing is different also. is there a way to ensure that all text is grouped as it is in the PDF document when i open it in ai or is there a setting i am missing.
Thanks i advance
Phil
PS
Thanks to the 2 guys who helped me out before xmas with a gradient problem. you information was ace

The "equality" between AI and PDF formats is a myth. What you are seeing is normal for PDF content.
Generally speaking, you can think of a PDF file as your Illustrator (or whatever) file dumbed-down to simpler objects and "captured" midstream on its way to the printer.
> is there a way to ensure that all text is grouped as it is in the PDF document when i open it in ai
Yes. By turning on the Maintain Illustrator Editibility option when saving/exporting the PDF. What that really does is embed a full copy of the native Illustrator file inside the PDF. So the PDF file actually contains two complete versions of the content (and is therefore larger).
If you use AI to open a PDF that does not contain that AI-native version (one saved from AI without that option turned on, or one saved by some other program), then it's normal to get the results you are experiencing.
Adobe has done a masterful job of confusing its user base with its smoke-and-mirrors marketing of all this.

Report header with images instead of text - sort is screwed up

Hi all,
I have a package which returns a given text in from of an image file - I adjusted my template to use the package etc. So far so good - no problems. Only if I enable the sorting for the columns I get a screwed up result !
My Column Heading Template is
<th class="t18ReportHeader" #ALIGNMENT# valign="Bottom" id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">
<img src="IMAGE.GET?p_text=#COLUMN_HEADER#&p_attribute=BG:EFEFEF:FC:000000:ANGLE:70">
</th>
With sorting enabled this shows up as:
<th class="t18ReportHeader" align="left" valign="Bottom" id="PERSON_ID">
<img src="IMAGE.GET?p_text= *<a href="javascript:$a_report('2152526465901175',false,false,false,'fsp_sort_1_desc')" title="Sort by this column">* Employee Name *</a><img src="/i/arrow_up_gray_dark.gif" width="13" height="12" alt="" alt="Sort by this column" />* &p_attribute=BG:EFEFEF:FC:000000:ANGLE:70">
</th>
As you can see the procedure IMAGE.GET?p_text= is not called with the right parameter (should be "IMAGE.GET?p_text=Text&p_attribute=...")
I also looked into the possibility to use PL/SQL heading and return the <IMG ...> code myself - but where would I store/manage the descriptions ? (Also this would break my Export functions)
My question is: are there any other substitution variables available to define the header text- and maybe the sort ? Or has anybody else any other idea ?
Thanks a lot
Thomas

Hi,
That is an interesting problem... The easiest option I see is to remove the img tag from the template and add it to the column header itself (in the report definition). For instance, put this in the column header:
<img src="IMAGE.GET?p_text=Employee Name&p_attribute=BG:EFEFEF:FC:000000:ANGLE:70"/>
I think this would work for sorting, but probably not for CSV export. What you could do for the CSV export would be create copies of all columns, set the column titles to plain text, and set the conditional display of them based on CSV output or not. A bit of pain but would be bearable if not too many columns...
I hope this helps...

How do I get my Bookmarks to appear with icons instead of text?

How do I change standard programs (f.i. opening PDF with acrobat instead of preview)

I tried it with : "open with" and there it asked if id like to open it with that particular program next time. But then PDF again was opened with the original program
thanks

In the finder select the file and right click on the file and select "Get Info" from the drop down menu. In the files Info window that open, there will be several triangle with a title next to it (ie. General: , More Info: , Name & Extension: and then Open with: . If under the Open with title is just the next title "Preview", click the triangle to the left of Open with: so you see a drop down menu you can click on to see a list of application that can open that file. Select the program you want to use to open the file (if it's not in the list select "Other..." and locate the program in your Applications folder. Then click the "Change All.." button under the drop down menu in the "Open with:"

How to create fillable PDF with dynamic content dropdowns?

I'm creating a March Madness bracket for people that don't really understand how they work. What I'd like to do is have dropdowns for each of bracket lines (they would list the teams playing against each other for that game and they would select who they think would win). I would then like the dropdown for the next game to auto-populate with only the two options for the next round.
For example, team A and team B play against each other and teams C and D play against each other. There are two separate dropdowns, one with A and B as choices and the other with C and D as choices. The user thinks A and C will win their games, so the next dropdown would only have the options of selecting A and C. To illustrate:
AA and B are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects A to win.
BA or C are listed in the dropdown because the user has selected A and C to win their previous games.
CC and D are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects C to win.
D
I can make the first round dropdowns just fine, but I'm not sure how to conditionally/dynamically populate the second round dropdowns based off of user selections.

I don't understand your request but my english is not the best.
But here you can see a script. You can copy this in the first dropdown in the exit-event.
In this example you will give the first dropdwon the entries
"123"
"345"
"678"
The first case describes what happens when the user clicks "123" the second drowdown will get the entries "456" and "789".
When the user clicks "456" the second drowdown will get the entries "123" and "789".
I think you can adapt this script as you need.
Hope I could help a little bit,
Mandy
switch (xfa.event.newText)
    case "123":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("456");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("789");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "456":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("123");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("789");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "789":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("123");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("456");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    default:
        break;
