How do I enter text onto a PDF and have it automatically update in an Indesign file?

I am trying to enter text into an application form and then include the updated application into an extended indesign file.  I would like to be able to change elements of the application, which would then automatically update in the Indesign file.  I am having trouble doing this.

I received an application in PDF and want to fill it out with my personal text, but I would also like to include supplemental documents with the application and thus have placed the PDF and the other documents it into an Indesign file.  If I were to change some portion of the personal text in the PDF, it would be great if it could automatically update in the Indesign file.  How else would you suggest I go about doing this?
Thanks!

  • Is there a way to edit text in one spot and have it automatically update in several other locations?

    I have a text box on 3 different pages I have created. One of the lines of text will periodically change from to time. Right now I have to manually go into all 3 text boxes and manually make the change. I would like to know if there was a way I could just edit one and all the others will automatically update.

    Hi brain bomb,
    I am afraid that the feature that you are requesting for is not there in Muse at the current stage.
    So, you will need to update the text frames manually.

  • How can I link to a local PDF and have it launch on a specific page?

    Hey People,
    I've searched quite a bit over this and I'm sure it used to work.
    I've got a Word document that I'm using as an index to a whole bunch of PDFs.  The PDFs are in the same folder (and subfolders) as the Word document.
    I've tried using the hyperlink method of appending #page=2 to the link, but it only ever opens on the first page.
    There doesn't seem to be anyway to use the command line /A "page=s" "path/to/file.pdf" method.
    I just want to have a word document which can open PDFs at a specific page, all from a local file system.
    Any ideas?  I'm sure this used to work!
    I've tried Acrobat/Reader v8 and v9.
    Thanks
    Craig

    Hi Craig,
    When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:
    <Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"
    For example:
    Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

  • How to allow non-text page into TOC and have it export to ePub?

    Hi there,
    I've got an InDesign book file with several document files added as "chapters."  One of these files is the title page of the book, which is composed entirely of graphic images (i.e. there is no text on the page).
    I want this page to be visible in the table of contents when exported for Kindle and/or ePub, but I can't for the life of me figure this out.
    I've tried creating a layer on the title page and adding "Title Page" text to it and applying the correct TOC style.  This gets the page on the TOC, but the "Title Page" text is visible.  I've tried turning off "Print Layer" and "Show Layer" for this layer, but the text is still visible on the page when exported.
    Any ideas?
    I'm beginning to think that I'm going to have to edit the TOC manually after it's exported, but I was trying to avoid this.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Hi Wagner,
    Thanks for the reply.  I've tried what you suggested in #1.  In short, I:
    Created a style called Chapter Number Invisible based on my Chapter Header style, which is a TOC style.
    I made one change to this by making the color "Paper."
    I then added the text, "Title Page" to the title page and applied the style.
    Unfortunately, I don't think that Kindle export handles white or non-colored text, and thus, I still get the text showing on the page after export.
    Unless I'm doing something wrong, it looks like I'm going to have to edit the TOC manually, which is a pain.
    Thanks again,
    Kim

  • How do I place text on a ScatterGraph and have an arrow point to a data point on a plot?

    For example, show the minimum point with the string "MIN" and draw an arrow from the text to the minimum point.
    I am using Measurement Studio 7.0 with C#. This could be accomplished in MS 6.0 with annotations.

    The Measurement Studio 7.0 graphs (WaveformGraph and ScatterGraph) expose events that allow you to custom draw areas of the control. Most of these events appear as pairs of BeforeDraw____ and AfterDraw___. The BeforeDraw events are raised before the drawing begins and AfterDraw events are raised after the drawing has completed.
    In your case, you can attach an event handler to the AfterDrawPlotArea event of the ScatterGraph since you want to draw on top of everything that is drawn in the plot area. In the event handler:
    // Assuming e is the name of the AfterDrawEventArgs parameter.
    // Find the minimum y-value on the first plot in the Plots
    // collection of the graph.
    double[] xData = scatterGraph1.Plots[0].GetXData();
    double[] yData = scatterGraph1.Plots[0].GetYData();
    if (yData.Length > 0)
    double x = xData[0];
    double yMin = yData[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < yData.Length; ++i)
    if (yData[i] < yMin)
    x = xData[i];
    yMin = yData[i];
    // Map the data point to a point in device coordinates.
    PointF minPoint = scatterGraph1.Plots[0].MapPoint(e.Bounds, x, yMin);
    // Calculate the starting point for the line of the
    // arrow.
    PointF startingPoint = new PointF(minPoint.X + 1, minPoint.Y - 1);
    PointF endingPoint = new PointF(minPoint.X + 10, startingPoint.Y - 9);
    // Draw a vertical line representing the stick of the
    // arrow from the point.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.White, startingPoint, endingPoint);
    PointF leftArrowEnd = new PointF(startingPoint.X, startingPoint.Y - 3);
    PointF rightArrowEnd = new PointF(startingPoint.X + 3, startingPoint.Y);
    // Draw the arrows.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.White, startingPoint, leftArrowEnd);
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.White, startingPoint, rightArrowEnd);
    // Calculate the location of the text by centering it
    // about the arrow.
    SizeF textSize = e.Graphics.MeasureString("MIN", scatterGraph1.Font);
    PointF textLocation = new PointF(endingPoint.X + 1, endingPoint.Y - (textSize.Height / 2));
    // Draw the "MIN" string
    e.Graphics.DrawString("MIN", scatterGraph1.Font, Brushes.White, textLocation);
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I make 3D measurements in a 3D pdf, then have them automatically show upon opening the file - using Reader?

    I am trying to use Reader to set up how a 3D pdf initially opens - for example, showing measurements.
    Is this possible using only Reader?

    You can create the measurements in Reader but you cannot change the file's initial view settings - that's an Acrobat job.

  • How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?

    Hi,
    How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?
    Will be great if you can refer to any adobe provided command base utility to achieve the above target.
    Best Regards,

    You can't. The commandline parameters for Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not allow any type of commands to be run.

  • How do you change text on a PDF file

    How do you change text on a PDF file

    If at all possible, you don't. You get the original (pre-PDF file), you edit that.
    Adobe Acrobat has some very limited facilities which sometimes allow very simple text edits to PDF (e.g. change a phone number).

  • How do i export text from a pdf?

    I don't know which adobe to purchase in order to export text from a pdf and move it to a spreadsheet.... can someone please help?

    Hi losjovenes1,
    You can use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
    If you need just a part of the PDF file in another format, you don’t need to convert the entire file and then extract the relevant content. You can select parts of a PDF file and save it in one of the supported formats: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, RTF, XML, HTML, or CSV.
    Use the Select tool and mark the content to save.
    Right-click on the selected content and choose Export Selection As.
    Select a format from Save As Type list and click Save.
    Regards,
