How can I prepopulate a portion of a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Profession XI from an excel spreadsheet?

I have created a fillable form, and would like to prepopulate two fields from data in an excel spreadsheet.  Any ideas?

You need to use JavaScript to import text data in a file setup using the tab delimiter and the column heading with the field name. You may need to select the row to import because one can only import 1 row of data.
importTextData
Has an example to import the first row. You can change the row number to see what happens.

  • How can you change the leading in a fillable forms in the multi-line setting?

    I am creating multiple pdf files with check boxes, single text boxes and multi-line. On the form, I have multiple lines where the person will be able to type a description but I can't figure out how to change the leading so that when they do the fillable part, the copy will sit on the printed lines. Does anyone know how to do this, besides with the Typewriter tool, because that tool makes the rest of the document's fillable boxes unusable.

    Try making a new PDF from a blank page and add a couple of text fields. Save and reopen. You'll get a purple box at the top of the page that says there are form fields to be filled. If anyone needs more help they are in trouble. Again if you must have the lines you need to do some experiments with a text box and see what the leading is in Acrobat for the size of the text you are inputting and then adjust your lines to match, not the other way around. You have no control over the leading, just the font size.

  • How can I set an expiration date on a pdf in adobe acrobat 9?

    I am trying to set an expiration date for some documents, I have tried to use several javascript methods with no success. My adobe skills are very minimal so the easiest way possible would be appreciated.

    Acrobat can act as a client to the LiveCycle DRM encryption system but you must have an existing account on a LiveCycle ES/ES2/ES3 server with the Rights Management module activated. That requires you either license a copy from Adobe or work for someone who already has it running and who can issue you an account.
    LiveCycle ES3 is an extremely powerful enterprise-class solution for document creation and publishing, designed for use by hundreds or thousands of employees. To say it's not cheap is somewhat of an understatement, and the Rights Management module is an optional extra.

  • How to set up toggle between fields on a form in Adobe Acrobat?

    I've got a client who wants an interactive PDF form, which I've done a fair few of now. They have been the first people to raise this issue something that has bothered me as long as I've been doing them "Can you set it up to toggle to through to the next field?"
    Seems to be a simple enough question but I can't figure it out and I can't find any articles explaining it.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thank You.

    What does that mean, exactly?

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

    how can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

    Thanks, Alex!
    ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
    I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
    I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
    Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
    End Sub
    is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
    Sub PrintPages()
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut  Pages:="2-3"  
    End Sub
    printer print all pages.
    what do you think?
    regards,

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    As an example, this is from BBC Technical Requirements for HD material:
    3.1.1 Stereo line-up tones
    All stereo tracks must use EBU 1KHz tone (left ident). All tones must be sinusoidal, free of distortion and phase coherent between channels.
    Digital Audio Reference level is defined as 18dB below the maximum coding value (-18dBFS) as per EBU recommended practice R68.
    See also:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/dq/pdf/tv/tv_delivery_to_network_programmes_v1.2-2011.pdf
    for full document.
    And for BBC Radio:
    Not every Network requires tone. Check the delivery requirements with the commissioning network or click here.
    Reference tone, where used, should be at -18dBFS or PPM 4 on A, B and/or M.
    If submitting material with reference tone, tone and programme material must be have been monitored and measured through the same technical chain. The level of the tone must be equivalent to 0dBu and no less than 8dB below peak audio level for the programme material.
    THE LEVEL OF TONE MUST HAVE A KNOWN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME MATERIAL AND THIS MUST BE STATED; for example: “Tone at 8dB below peak programme level”.
    As a newcomer to digital sound (my background is camera) I confess to being somewhat confused. We are normally told to record at the highest level possible. So for voice podcasts I tend to record at about -6dB below peak for maximum volume, distributeds on MP3 files.
    But I can underatand that televison and radio especially for analogue transmission) may have limited headroom, hence the requirement for -18dB peak = 0dBM.
    I remember when we first rented out Digital Betacam cameras, some recordists were recording almost everything OVER -18dBM.
    I suspect that until we have an all-digital world, these requiremnents will still be in place.
    Many thanks to all. It's a ghreat community!

    I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?
