Forms editing and undos

Acrobat 8 Pro, OS X 10.5.7
Acrobat does not appear to able to undo an action when editing forms. A co-worker is working on a multipage form that was created in ID and exported to PDF. In Acrobat, she is creating form fields. Inadvertently, she has selected all of the fields and deleted them with no option to undo that last action.
I've checked Acrobats preferences and there does not appear to be an option to edit the number of undo's.
Can Acrobat undo actions when editing form fields?
Thanks.

Oh Phillip. Do you really think no one reads your posts? You mention no such thing in post #3 or any of your following posts.
Do you need new oars so you can backpaddle?
Here are your posts:

It appears the person save the changes once changes are save there are no undo.  That;s the reason I suggested making a Backup of a document before making any major changes. I know of no application that once you do a save or save as can go back and undo anything.

Maybe I am not saying right. I know of no application once you save a Document, that will allow you to undo an edit.

If you still don't understand I give up.  Once saved  a document, when you go to edit menu and undo its unavailable (Grayed out), not active.
(sorry folks. I don't mean to stir things up in your thread but PJ has a tendency to spread misinformation all over the place. I just think it's good to call him on it when it happens.)

  • Acrobat X form editing view and normal view

    This might seem like a silly question, but I went into form editing mode to create some form fields. I can toggle back and forth between form editing and form preview views, but can't figure out how to get back to normal view. In Acrobat 9, when in form editing view, there was a button in the upper right corner "Close Form Editing" -- where did that button go?

    Agree. No button/option available to return to normal view. My version is 10.0.1
    Workaround:
    1. select View menu > Full screen mode or press Ctrl+L
    2. press Esc* key
    * when Edit > Preferences > Full Screen (category) > Full screen navigation > 'Escape key exits' is selected

  • Calculations not working after closing form editing

    Hi!
    I created a form with very basic calculations.  It all worked ok in the preview, but now that I have closed the form editing and saved, the calculations are no longer taking place, and just a zero is present.
    Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?
    Also, is there any way to edit a form, or do I need to start over?
    Thanks!
    [edit]  I am using Adobe XI Pro

    Apologies for using the wrong forum.  I am a little slow.  Is there any way I can move the post?
    It works in the Form Preview in Acrobat.
    When I try to go to Tools - Forms - Edit I get the following message:
    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... ...click Save a Copy.
    Saving a copy makes no difference unfortunatley
    Thank you.

  • What is tthe Best practice for Variant List, Add, Edit and Display Forms?

    Requirement:
    I have single list.  The list has a large number of columns and a large number of items (lets say 20,000).
    I want to show users a different view of the list based on clicking on a different left-hand navigation option.
    Lets say I have four types of users:  Sales, Manufacturing, Shipping and Finance. I would like to have four options in the left-hand navigation.
    All of them would be pointing at the same list, BUT, I want each of them to have a customer list form.  The only difference between the custom list forms would be:
    Each would have its own set of views, and hence its own default view.
    Each would have its own New, Edit and Display Forms.  The only difference between the forms in one variant list and another would be: The order of the columns and which columns are modifiable.
    I would like to achieve this in SharePoint Designer in such a way that the "users" could still add/modify views and could even modify the forms from the SharePoint Menu.  BTW, I don't want to use InfoPath for obvious reasons.
    What is the best approach to meeting this requirement?  I have at least 20 sites and 70 lists overall that need variant forms made.
    HELP!!
    Savin
    BTW We are using SharePoint 2013 and I selected the wrong forum *sigh*.  But I think its probably the same answer.
    Cheers, Savin Smith

    Hi,
    I understand that you want to have different forms based on different view.
    Per my knowledge, there are no out of box method to achieve it.
    As a workaround, you can add the JavaScript code to the different view page.
    For example, to open different new form based on different view, you can get the windows.location, and then judge the view, then change the onclick event of the "New item" button.
    For more information, you can refer to:

    How can we create form report with both edit and column link. Ie, the form should have both the Edit link and column link. When we click on the edit link(in page1) it should go for the page2 and the page2 should display the corresponding row fields which should be editable. but when i click the column link it should bring me to the next page but the corresponding values of the column should not be editable.
    Regars,

    hi,
    Here i have achieved this by making the column link and page navigation.

    I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

    Hi Michelle ,
    We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
    As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
    This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
    You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

  • Issues during reinstallation Oracle 10g express edition and Forms 6i

    I've been racking my head over this issue for the past two three days. Exasperated, I tried searching in the forums but could not find a specific scenario like this.
    I am facing issues while trying to get forms 6i to work with oracle 10g Express edition
    i have windows XP home edition (installed service pack 2) and installed oracle 10g express edition as well as the oracle 10g express client and SQL developer on the same machine. The database started fine and I was able to use Enterprise manager.
    After that I tried installing Forms 6i and whatever i try i am not able to connect to the database from Forms though I was able to connect easily from SQL developer. I used to get the error 12154 "TNS:could not resolve service name"
    I dont know if Forms 6i expects the database connector string in some particular format. I searched on the net and found some people solved the issue by reinstalling the database software.
    My machine name was complex so I changed it as well and reinstalled the software. Again the DB was fine and connections were fine but no way I could get forms to connect to the DB. All the time
    I tried installing Forms to the same folder that Oracle express edition home in the hope that it might fix the problem. That only caused my database to crash. The oracle xe service shows as started but the Enterprise manager link does not work and it seems the database is down. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling client and server to no avail.
    Has anyone gone through such a situation and solved this ? Appreciate your help.

    The statement about XP Home is correct, but in this case I would say the initial problem (Forms and ORA-12154) is independent of that, it also happens in a supported environment. I think it's the old problem, a second Oracle home was installed, but tnsnames.ora containing the connect informations is located in the first home.
    Either tnsnames.ora is copied from to <Second_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin or the environment variable TNS_ADMIN is set system-wide to <First_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin.
    I think now it's necessary to create a clean machine (remove all Oracle components as explained in the database installation guide for Windows). Then repeat the installation , but XE and Forms 6i in different ORACLE_HOMEs.

  • **** Editing and Saving an Adobe Form on the Server ****

    We are trying to achieve the following:
    1. Generate 3D PDF from VRML (Done)
    2. Embed the 3D PDF into a PDF Template and save it on the Server as an editable .pdf file
    3. Then, the user must be able to open the Editable PDF inside a web browser such as IE.
    4. The user must then enter data in some fields (Text field, drop down etc) and save it.
    5. The save action must save the data in a database and importantly, the PDF itself as .pdf file on the same server location. The updated PDF file on the server location must be available for further editing and vieweing in the updated state.
    Questions:
    1. Do the ADOBE Livecycle APIs support such a feature?
    2. Is there a code sample for the same?
    3. IF we cannot save the PDF with the updated data back to the server, then is there a way by which we can dynamically associate a PDF template with the user given data, generate it and render it using Livecycle Java APIs at runtime?
    Thanks
    Ram

    Yes. This is possible through an API. See the API Quick Start code for Forms ES at
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/000162.html#1548277
    There are different methods of submitting data from the client (xml, http post, xml+xdp, and pdf). You can extract the data server side, insert the data to database, merge the data with a form and save the form on the server.

  • Suggest good book titles on Forms 6i and Reports 6i with latest edition...

    Hi
    I did not find any latest edition of a book by any author regarding forms 6i. please suggest a best book which explain me to develop forms and reports in illustrative manner. i searched entire net but cant find a good book on forms6i and reports 6i. So anybody suggest me best titles to my requirement.
    Thank u in advance
    prasanth a.s.

    A GREAT book is called "Oracle9i Developer: Developing Web Applications with Forms Builder" by John Adolph Palinski. (www.course.com) While the title says 9i, it tells you along the whole way where 6i differs and how to do it in 6i. In the preface it says "This book also supports developers using Oracle6i Forms Builder... Throughout the book a distinctive 6i icon identifies explanations and exercises related to 6i."
    The only thing I don't like is there's no answers to the questions. I suppose because it's used in a lot of classrooms. But regardless, I've recently purchased 4 Forms books, and this is by far the best for learning (since I'm a newbie). But at the end of each chapter you take steps to build a real application from scratch. Hope that helps!

  • Create Separate Views for New,Edit and Display forms in Infopath

    Hi,
    I need to create a separate views for New, Edit and Display forms in infopath.
    For ex : I need a Submit Button on Display form and not in New/Edit forms.
    I tried, but i amnot able to get the changes.
    Regards, Shreyas R S

    I just validated my approach in a 2013 farm, this is precisely how it's done!
    Step 1) List > Display Form
    Step 2) Change the View within the Web Part Properties. In your screenshot it looks like you simply went to View Item on the single item, which is not the direction I gave =P.
    **Assuming you've already created the multiple views within InfoPath, this allows you to set them up as distinct defaults for New, Edit and Display, let's make that clear. If you are not even to the point of having separate views, that is just in InfoPath,
    Page Design tab, far left, New View button

  • Open an existing file, edit and save in Forms 10G R2

    Dear all
    Could u pls tell me how can i open a file like .doc,.xls extension. and i want to input some data to that file and save.These all i need to oracle 10g R2 version click on a button. How can i open .pdf and html file(Read Only).
    Regards,
    MAR

    You can do this to show a file on the client file system...
    web.show_document('file://c:\mypath\myfile.doc', '_blank');
    This will lauch the word document in word. The user can then edit and save it from word. This basically is calling your web browser and your web browser then hands off the file to a helper app. This will work for any file type that the client has helper app to display.

  • How to use same jsp for edit and add form

    Hi,
    I would like to use the same .jsp file for edit and add. I just want to change a few controls based on edit/add mode. How do I configure this in the jsp?

    In the environment I currently have access to do not have similar setup.
    Let say you setup the DFF1 default value to $HEADER.customer_name, the name of the DFF is CUSTOMER_NAME, description can be anything.
    In DFF2, default value should be a SQL, where you can reference the DFF1. For example, SELECT DECODE($FLEX.CUSTOMER_NAME, 'ABC', 1, 'DEF', 2, NULL) FROM dual
    In this case, you can reference the DFF1.

  • How can multiple users edit and access same ACCESS file

    Hello,
    We have 2 access files and multiple users needs to edit and access those files.
    How can I enable mulitple access but only one user can edit rest of users are in read-only mode for one file and multiple access and edit on the another file.

    Hi,
    You should split your database in a front and backend. Then create two seperate front ends which you can distribute. If you need readonly you can opt for two options, setting the attributes of the file to read only or create a front end with read only forms.
    The last one takes a little more work but is safer than setting the attributes to read only because people can change that back themselfs.

  • How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    Hello,
    I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
    I have installed
    1. JDK
    2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
    3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
    4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
    5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
    6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
         During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
    The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
    See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
    If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
    Mathias

    Hey,
    You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
    I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
    The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
    click services -> Data Sources
    Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
    after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
    i believe this will solve this .........
    if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

    I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

    Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
    The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
    -- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
    -- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
    But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
    So, what is most valuable to you?
    -- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
    -- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
    If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
    If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
    Of course, you can do a bit of both.
    Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
    Good luck!
