How do I create this interactive PDF?

Does anyone know where I can create a PDF form like this? http://media.wix.com/ugd//09aa20_0159bb1d474f8d81fefb703be8d72d5c.pdf
It has:
Custom Background
Numbers that add & subtract as options are selected / deselected
Two columns
Multiple Font Options
Supports PNG files
Etc
I'm using https://formscentral.acrobat.com but it doesn't offer any of these options (that I can see) so does anyone know how this particular form was created?
Thank you!

That is a type of PDF form known as an Acroform, which is the type that created by Acrobat and now InDesign, as opposed to an XFA PDF form that's made with LiveCycle Designer.  The radio buttons should have unique export values (aka Button Value and whatever it's called in Acrobat 10/11) for the ones that are in the same group. Acroforms can be used with FormsCentral, but with FormsCentral the form data is submitted, as opposed to the entire PDF. Is seems as though this form is just intended to be printed, so it really doesn't matter. It could be a lot smaller if the entire pages weren't bitmaps and instead used real text.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

    We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
    I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
    Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
    Thanks,
    Bob Kendall

    For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

    In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
    I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
    Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
    When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
    My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email.  As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
    All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business.  Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly. 
    Thank you in advance,
    ~Kara

    Yes, this is the page that the pdf is on.  It's the link that says "Online Ordering Form."

  • How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

    I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
    I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks,

    scrolling through the pages
    There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

    I had the same problem with an interactive PDF I created out of InDesign CS5.5. Not sure if what I found will work for a PDF portfolio but here is what I did.
    After creating my document and exporting it as an interactive PDF I opened it in Acrobat X. I went to file/properties and opened the dialogue box. I then clicked on the "initial view" tab and checked the "hide toolbars" and "hide window controls" clicked okay, closed the dialogue box and re-saved the PDF.
    The next time I launched it you could not mouse click to navigate the pages anymore, you had to use the interface I had created. The only caveat is that the keyboard arrows and the mouse scroll wheel still work but if you click anywhere on the page other than my buttons the pages now stay put.
    Hope this works for you,

  • How to create an interactive pdf, hyperlinking text to a video on a usb drive?

    Creating an interactive pdf in InDesign CS6, hyperlinking text to a video.  Both pdf and video placed on a usb thumbdrive.  When clicking link on Mac a warning box came up, but after clicking Allow the video played fine.  On PC the warning box also came up but clicking Allow did nothing

    You'll need to use startDrag and stopDrag  in order to be able to move an object (the slider handle).  You will need to specify a rectangle that has 0 height for the drag limits.  The width of that rectangle will define the maximum value of the scroll (which will be the maximum value of your scale.
    Assuming you will have a linear scale for values along the drag line, the math is fairly easy to manage.  The x property of the handle at the minimum slider position should be 0.  You use the ratio of the current x position of the slider handle to the full width to determine what value to assign ( ex: ratio = handle.x / rectangleWidth).  So if the minimum value is 1K and the maximum value in 10K, you essentially have 9K represented by the length of the line, so the value provided by the slider position at any point along that line would be 1K + (ratio * 9K)
    You can use a MOUSE_MOVE event listener that you assign when the slider's MOUSE_DOWN event occurs to update the textfield as the slider is moved.  You can remove the MOUSE_MOVE listener when the slider's MOUSE_UP event occurs.
    So, in summary, you need to look into the startDrag and stopDrag methods, which will be inititiated using MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events, respectively.  The MOUSE_DOWN event will create a MOUSE_MOVE listener that you will use to have a function continually update the textfield value displayed, while the MOUSE_UP event will have that MOUSE_MOVE listener removed.  The ratio of the x property of the slider to the total slideable distance will be used to determine the current value that the MOUSE_MOVE event handler assigns to the textfield display.

  • How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

    I'm seeking a little guidance -
    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

  • Can I create an interactive PDF without distributing it?

    Hi guys,
    I am very new to this and I have been asked by the development team here at work to play around and create a form. The idea behind this is that we want to be able to create an interactive PDF form that can be saved without uploading it to anywhere by one of our users (as they may not have access to the internet when they are filling out the form). At a later stage the user will need to upload the PDF into our system which will read the form's content and upload that data to the database. Our system is a Java web based back office system.
    Likewise - we will also need to pre-populate data into the form if it is present in our database when the form is downloaded for use.
    So I am basically looking for some way to change the security settings on the PDF. I know it is possible but I cannot see how to do it and I cannot find any help on how to do it and it's driving me completely insane!

    Hi,
    You can do this in LC Designer, but I strongly recommend that you have a look at our summary of restrictions depending on how you deploy your form:
    It is available here: https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg and here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html
    You can send out a form, but if the users have Reader they will not be able to save data that they fill in. They will be able to submit the data, but only as xml.
    If you reader enable the form to allow users with Reader to save data, then data connections is turned off.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Creating an interactive PDF with a shopping cart style interface...?

    Just asked this question over in the InDesign forum but figured this might be a good place as well:
    I need to create an interactive PDF in which the user can check a box next to a thumbnail image and a sum total at the bottom of the page is updated.  All or none or just some of the boxes would need to be checked.
    Is this possible with Acrobat Pro?

    Okay, figuring this out.  Doesn't look like I need javascripting.  But wow, getting into Acrobat to create stuff for the first time is actually painful.
    For instance, no matter if I use the Add Text Box tool at the top menu....or the Add or Edit Text Box tool in the Content menu, neither one will actually give me that much needed calculate field.  ????  wow.
    I actually grabbed a PDF example off the net showing exactly what I want to do, but the problem is that when I cut and paste the sum text box, it comes in at a 90deg angle to what I need, lol.  Now I'm trying to figure out exactly how to ROTATE a simple text box.
    *exasperated*
    EDIT:  Ahh, rotation dialog in the properties.  Grr.  It's odd that the cursor doesn't also offer a 'rotate' option.....like InDesign and every other Adobe product. heh.

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.
