How do I make a TextField span pages in Static PDF?

I've spent days looking into this without any luck, so thanks for any help!
Scenario:
A friend has a web based system which merges data with a PDF, all she has to do is create the PDF and set the Name of the TextField to be 'CustomerName' for example and that field gets populated with the data.
Problem:
The last field on the PDF is a list that contains more than one page of data, and the data is being truncated by the field.
Attempted Fixes:
Save the PDF as Dynamic and set the 'Expand to Fit' options but the data wouldn't merge with this.
Questions:
Is there anything I'm missing with the Dynamic PDF to enable the data to merge?
Can I get a TextField to expand to fit the value and over multiple pages?
Thanks,
Adam.

We don't have any control over the system that merges the data, we just create the TextFields and set the names of them to be certain things, CustomerName for instance and the data gets merged. Are you suggesting there is a way to set properties of the TextFields in a Dynamic PDF to pick the data up? If so could you please provide some direction to do this?
Thanks,
Adam.

  • How can I make my contact us page a downloadable PDF

    Sorry for what may be a simple task but I am not sure how to create a pdf of my contact page at http://glasgow-dentists.co.uk/contact-us/
    I would like patients to be able to download and print the page as I will be adding directions.
    Also I am considering putting in an email function so they can email themselves or someone else the pdf.
    Would be great if it could remain clickable somehow for the map.
    Appreciate any quick pointers to where I could learn how to do this.
    Also if there is a specific reader/software I need please let me know.
    I am using Windows 7
    thanks,
    Colin

    Are you wanting the form in a PDF format, or just create a PDF of the directions to your business in PDF form and post that. Assuming the latter, you just create your document in any editor, word processor, or layout program and print it to a PDF. Then simply put up the PDF and add a link to it. If you want the form information you get into other issues due to some license restrictions on forms. You can create a form that can be printed and the data sent to you with no problem. The form data (FDF file) can be imported into the form and printed for your use, or added to a database. If you create a PDF of the web page (probably should work directly with the section of the page rather than the whole screen), you can then add the form fields to that PDF (I tried and the automated adding did not work, but your form is simple and manual addition is simple). Add a button for the submit button and send the FDF file to your web site (or e-mail if you prefer with mailto:<address>, but be aware that the e-mail does not always work for clients and is also not secure). If you select the PDF file submission you get into requirements for Reader Rights and the license restrictions (I am not sure how much this has changes in AA XI -- you would have to read the license agreement -- but it would not be acceptable in a business under previous versions).

    How do I make the Black in Pages True Black? I make Newspaper ads and they are starting to look anemic.

    Sorry Eric but that is the wrong specification and will produce a muddy brownish grey with possible registration problems particularly in small type as well as being wasteful on ink.

    Open the Color Picker > click on the color slider tab > click on the color mode patch > choose Black & White > Brightness: 0% (black patch) > drag down to recognisable swatch below
    To label it > click on the color sets tab (3rd tab) > click on the gear > New > Rename the set "DrD's > drag down the swatch from the bar above > Label that 100k > click on any stray swatches and rempve by clicking on the - button below
    These swatches are System wide and available to any application that accesses the Color Picker. Unfortunately Apple has not seen fit to make them easily transferrable or saveable and importable.
    Make the 100k swatch part of your Styles in the Styles Drawer, particularly the text to ensure it is used, you can't spot it on screen and there is no feedback anywhere that it is selected.

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How can I make a table span multiple pages?

    Hi guys,
    I really hope someone can help me out. First off I am a indesign novice. I have primarily been using indesign scripting to take other user's indesign documents and generating dynamic previews and PDFS with indesign server 2014 (it's pretty cool stuff).
    Someone gave me an indesign document that has a table that starts off in the middle of the page and depending on how many rows they want the table to be it should bump the overflow'ed table rows to the 2nd page.
    In indesign I have tried to link the text frames together. It looks ok in indesign as the linked content shows up on page two.
    Whenever I run the script to generate the preview JPEG the table on page 1 gets cut off and doesn't render anything on page 2.
    Using a script I was able to examine all the textframes on the page and none of the text frames have their "overflows" property set to true.
    What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure there are a million things I'm missing but what are some of the basic things I can look for. I'm totally lost here guys.
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    I'm not familiar with the script you are talking about, but if you want to make Jpegs of your pages, the best route is to export the document as PDF, and then open in Photoshop, where you can save as Jpeg. If creating Jpegs was not your goal, can you explain further?

  • How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

    Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How can I make a booklet in pages?

    I am trying to make a booklet in pages, and i am sure this has been asked before. What is the best way to do this without having to download another program to help out?

    Hi Jake,
    I don't know that there is a "best way" to do this in Pages.
    Several variables will have an effect on the procedure:
    What size paper will you print on?
    How many booklet pages will fit onto a single side of that piece of paper?
    How many pages will your booklet have (including front and back covers)?
    For a 4.25" x 8.5" booklet, the Catering Brochure provides a good starting point.
    The default Catering brochure (above) has 2 letter size pages, each in a separate section (as is always the case for a Page Layout document.
    The top section holds the brochure's outside pages (4 and 1), back cover on the left, front cover on the right.
    The bottom section holds the inside pages (2 and 3), inside left on the left, inside right on the right.
    The Pages button in the Toolbar offers a choice of four types of page to add the the document: Additional copies of the cover or inside layout, a Text page or a Blank page.
    Each inserts two brochure/booklet pages. Add two for both sides of a second sheet of paper.
    Note that you're not restricted to using a "Text" page for two pages of nothing but text.
    For an eight page booklet, the pages are laid out as follows:
    8 (bc)  1 (fc)
    2         7
    6         3
    4         5
    Document pages 1 and 2 are printed on opposite faces of a letter sized sheet.
    Document pages 3 and 4 are printed on opposite faces of a second sheet.
    Catering is one of only two 'single fold' brochures on the Brochure page of the Template Chooser in Pages. The main difference between this one and the Landscape Brochure is in the treatment of the gutter between the two pages on each sheet of paper. Catering treats the pages as separate, with an empty gutter running between them. Landscape runs an illustration across the gutter, which is fine for the inside and outside pages of a four page brochure, but not great for booklets made with more than a single sheet of paper.
    The advantage to "another program to help out" is that it frees you to compose the booklet pages in the order they are to appear in the booklet, and as full size pages, then let the 'helper' application impose those pages onto sheets of paper in the order needed to comprise the booklet. Either of the applications noted by Peggy will do that job.
    I haven't used one, but my booklets (concert programs) are all the same number of pages (8) and all have the pages in the same, or a very similar order. Generally, I'll produce a pdf for each pair of pages, print a sample of each and staple them in the correct order for the booklet, then take the files and the sample to the local copy shop and let then do the printing, folding and stapling.
    Regards,
    Barry
