Forms - make text uneditable (invoices)

I currently us Adobe InDesign CS5.5 to create interactive forms such as invoices and receipts. How ever, now that I moved to a MAC computer I cannot make a PDF document that locks in the data so that the customer cannot modify.
I used to fill in the invoice then do a 'Print to PDF' on my WIN PC - but I cannot figure out how to do this.
Do I need to install a generic printer so that I can do 'Print to PDF'?
I use Adobe Acrobat:
Architecture: i386
Build: 10.1.3.23

Even if you could print to PDF, it is better to flatten the form. This process converts the form field appearances to regular page contents, removing the interactive fields in the process. This can be done with PDF Optimizer or Preflight, or with the following JavaScript-based utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • How to make text start at the top of a page in livecycle 9

    Hi, How can I get the text in a large text field to start at the top left of the field rather than at the center of the field? In addition, may one know how to make text wrap in the form as well?
    Thanks,
    David

    To set the Text alignment properties use "Paragraph" pallet you can make it visible by selecting Window>>Paragraph or Shift+F5
    And to allow text wrapping you need to select "Allow Multiple Lines" checkbox under "Object" pallet and "Field" tab. You can make Object pallet visible by selecting Window>>Object or Shift+F7.
    Good Luck,

    Hi All
    How to Automate the text which is at the billing document
    and also Different text for the same material  (one if for Pro-forma and the other one is for Billing document) any possibility in SAP please advice

    Hi,
    You need to configure the SAP text determination. By doing so, you will be able to have different "Text Types' for your requirement.
    Eg: Define two new text types as follows.
    1 - Material text for Pro-forma -> Configure under "Sales Document / Item" config - Transaction VOTXN
    2 - Material text for Invoice -> Configure under "Billing Document / Item" config - Transaction VOTXN
    Then do below for both.
    Go in to config by pressing "change" button
    - Select the "Access Sequence"
    - Go to "Access Sequence for Text ID's" and add the Text Object as MVKE and "Text ID" as above Text ID.
    - Maintain your Text in the material master
    During sales and billing creation, relevant text will automatically copied to your document.
    Check below link to see details of "Text Type Configuration"
    [Text Type Configuration|http://learnsaptips.blogspot.com/2010/09/text-type-configuration-in-sap.html]
    Hope this clarify your problem!

    When you add your new field into the parameter mask, please check, if the value is too
    long for your parameter mask site. Make a double click on the master attributes of your
    report in the object navigator and look at the size of the parameter mask window.
    Make it bigger, if you want (vertically und horizontally size).
    Check the length of the text of your parameter mask title, too.

  • Copying Shipment texts to Invoice texts

    Hi
    We are in ECC6.0 and are facing the following issue: We want to copy Shipment header texts to Invoice header texts. However, we are unable to define the acc seq in VOTXN since text object VTTK is not available in table RVTXOBJ
    We tried finding where this table is used and couldnt come up with any way of  creating entries in this table
    My questions are: Is it advisable to add object VTTK to add this table and use acc seq to achieve the above. If so, using which program/ txn can we populate new entries in table RVTXOBJ
    TIA
    rgds

    Shipment is not involved in the billing process. Therefore, in standard SAP the texts can only be copied from the sales documents or a delivery to the invoice. I'd recommend to maintain the texts on deliveries instead of the shipments. Otherwise you'll most likely have to write your own program to copy the texts to the invoice.
    There is another, easier, option though. If you don't have to store the shipment texts on the invoice, but just need to print them on a form, then consider adding the texts in the form itself.

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms

  • How to make text columns with adobe muse

    Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?

    Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
    div
    -moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
    -webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
    column-count:3;
    I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

  • Printing Form Header Text in Smartforms

    Hi,
    I have created smartform for SD module.I am printing Form header text in a window by using loop.I am getting the text with the help of READ_TEXT  function module.It comes as we type in Form header.But the problem is if they type more than 15 lines it is not printing.I want to print the rest of the lines in next page.How to do this?

    Hi,
    In smartforms, only the main window is a dynamically varying one.
    So give your include text concept in the main window..
    so that if your text increases more than a page, it will be printed in the next line..
    You can maintain your text in so10 transaction.. with text id and text name..
    using include text u can simply give the Id and text name in forms, you will get the enetered text.

  • PDF-form looses text style on another computer

    I created a PDF-form with text fields using our corporate font. My colleague has to open it in the Preview and insert text into those fields (she has corporate font installed). But while opening and typing the text, she got my text style lost (corporate font and probably its size). What should I do for she types in my forn and get the same text style as I have? Thank you.
    Arina.

    Do NOT use Apple Preview to open PDF forms. It corrupts them in various ways and is very buggy.
    Stick with Adobe software for best results.
