How to auto-fill data into Acrobat 9 PDF created from scanned paper form/document

Hello,
I am new to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I have scanned a paper form/document that
originally had various data lines to be written on using an ink pen. I saved
the scanned PDF as an Acrobat 9 PDF. I have added various pertinent text fields
and checkboxs to PDF form and saved it with appropriate extended setting to
allow end-user to type on PDF and save a copy. At the bottom form there is a
name/signature text field for end-user name to be typed and a calendar text date
when name/signature text field is entered .
I need to send this PDF form to various end-users using (Groupwise/Novell) email
to have them sign or type their name and date at bottom of form. Is there a way
that Adobe Acrobat 9/PDF will recognize the email sender and allow the
name/signature field to automatically fill-in signature/name textbox. Are there
tools like javascript, etc. that will help me accomplish this task?
I don't know where to begin. I am a newbie. Please help!

How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

I hope someone can please help me. I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms?
I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive.
I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields. How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers. I hope this time someone can please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files. I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files. To you mean with java script?
I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need. I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
Thank you again.

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you

Modifying a PDF created from an Adobe Forms Central form.

I've created a PDF from an Adobe Forms Central online form (Create PDF from web page). I was surprised that all of the text fields were created for me, but was happy that I may not have to reverse engineer everything.
However the layout for the form is for a web-based submission and not really the right size for a PDF that I can attach in an email, potentially for printing. I'd like it to be printable at 8.5X11 if possible. There are also a few aspects of it that I would like to remove since it has instructions and the button for online submission. I want people to have the option of printing or filling out the form, saving it, and replying with it as an attachment.
Is it possible to modify the PDF at this point to reduce its size? Can I remove the instructions on what to do as well as the submit button, especially while saving the background coloring? It seems like there is quite a bit of wasted space with the headers/footers too. At 8.5X14, it still hangs over into page 2.
The form can be found at: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=oEsnPs*6J8xiF7XlraAsLA
Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not the one who created the form and don't have any templates or anything that were used.
Steve
Acrobat Pro Ver 9.4.5

Steve, if you have access to the form in Formscentral, you can temporarily add a second page in Formscentral. Go to the place you want a page break, and click on the + button on the left top of the field where you want the break, and click on the "Page break". Now when you go to the HTML form it should show you only one page, with a next button to go to the second page. You could then copy the URL into Acrobat's "Create PDF" and get tha page. Then click on the next button in the HTML to go to the second page. You should be able to create the second page from that one too, and then combine the 2 pages in your PDF. When you're done you could remove the page break back in Formscentral.
Hope that helps

How can I keep word"s "acrobat pdf maker" from appearing ?

logically, all of the toolbars items (view menu) in Word should only appear if you ask for them
since nothing at microsoft seems to be logical, the "adobe pdf maker" toolbar appears constantly when you open a file so that you then have to throw it away to keep it from using up and cluttering the screen
I have tried everything I know to get rid of this pesky thing - any suggestions?

Hi, Joseph.
You haven't stated the version of MS Office you are using, but the following instructions, written with Office 2004 in mind, will also work for Office v.X.
How to remove the PDFMaker toolbar in MS Office applications
The PDFMaker toolbar launcher is saved in an application-specific directory for each Office application. The general format of the directory path is:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/office_application
Therefore, to remove the PDFMaker toolbar from MS Word, trash the PDFmaker file found in the directory:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word/
Do likewise for Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
Note that Adobe Acrobat automatically checks the state of its features — like PDFMaker — when it is launched. Depending on the version of Acrobat you have installed, it may try to replace these files after you have deleted them. Adobe Acrobat has a "Do not ask again" option if it offers to "repair" these files
Note that the same instructions work under Office v.X.
Good luck!

How can i plot a 600mm * 3200mm PDF created from Illustrator in perfect quality?

Hi,
I have this huge 600mm * 3200mm plan drawing, which i want to plot. I have importet Autocad .DWG files into illustrator and mingled with the lineweights and colores. But, when i save it as a .PDF and send it through the plotter, it comes out all strange looking. The lines are brooken up and generally the plot is of very poor quality. If i create a A3 artboard in the same illustrator file, and print that, it comes out in perfect quality - very confusing. I have attached an image were you guys can see what im talking about. Has enyone ever encountered this problem?
On the left you see what it looks like on the screen and on the right you see the plot.
Regards Karl

Karl,
What happens if you plot the A3 PDF?

How can I correct spacing issues in PDFs created from Word 2010?

I have already changed settings to Press Quality as well as embedded all fonts possible yet I am unable to fix this error.
As an example of what occurs throughout the PDF after conversion please see the image on the left (Original DOCX) and the image on the right (Converted PDF).
The spacing is not uniformly altered and in some cases the spacing is reduced, as in the word "efficiency" and in some cases spacing is increased, as in the space between "energy" and "efficiency".

It looks as if Word (not Acrobat) is doing some advanced typographical adjustment. Certain fonts contain a specially designed ffi single character.

Work with PDF created from scan

Hi, how can I edit or work with text (highlight, copy...) in document which was created as PDF by scaning from the book?

rudla wrote:

Perhaps, you could load the scanned document in photoshop, photoshop elements or even in Corel's Paintshop Pro. All of these programs can be downloaded for trial use for 30 days and you never know you could be tempted to buy them because they are so good that you would want them to do wonderful things with them.
Good luck.

Creating TOC Bookmarks in a PDF created from Microsoft Word

Does anyone know how to modify PDF creation settings so that bookmarks are automatically set from the Table of Contents in the PDF version of a Microsoft Word document? This is possible in Windows using word and Acrobat Pro. But it's not automatic in the OSX-resident PDF creator and I can't find any way to modify preferences. I'm using Word 2004 (11.3.5) for Mac. Thanks!

Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.

How to export image data into XDP

Hi, All
I'm working on a healthcare project that needs to export the doctor's signature image into XDP file from the database to fill in the Insurance company claim form. My question is how to export image data into a field node in the XDP file, we know the name of the image field which defined in the PDF form, Is it something like:
the signature image data ?
Should the image data in this node be base64 encoded or text encoded or something else?
Can the image be any kind? e.g. BMP, PNG, JPEG, ..., etc?
Thanks
William

Hi Andre,
Document will be of ASCII characters right?? but image data will be in binary format. as per database concept it is stored as binary large object. But in datawarehousing the back end is also going to be some database such as Oracle or other DBs.
which can take blob's. so it would be possible to store the binary data.
If any one has faced this situation can reply.to this ques.
can post the step to load image(jpg/bmp or any image format) data in to info cube??
hi andre if u have done loading image data as you say.pls reply me if you have the steps with you.
thanks Andre
