How to edit a pfd document then save using Preview?

I received a form in pdf format. I need to fill out some blanks with text and e-mail it back to the sender. I could not figure it out using Preview. Actually I tried the Adobe acrobat reader also and had zero success. Thanks

Then you know wrong. I do this routinely.
No, you are wrong. I just tried it 2 minutes ago. Neither Adobe Acrobat 7 nor 8.1 will allow you to save a filled-in PDF form. You cannot preview. You cannot print to PDF. All you can do is Print.
Why do you need to print the filled-in form to a PDF file? You just save it; it's already a PDF file!
Because saving is disabled in Adobe Reader. Usually, if one is using a fill-in PDF form, it is some important document such as a tax form. It is always a good idea to keep an electronic form of such documents. The free Adobe Reader will not allow you to do this.
As I stated above, you can fill in and print with Preview, +but you cannot save.+
No, I can save a filled-in form to PDF using Preview. It is no longer editable, but I have an electronic copy of what I entered. That is impossible using Adobe Reader.
I really did not want to respond, and from now on I will not,
Good!
but if you say that you know Adobe Reader 8 won't let you save a filled-in PDF file, then you are spreading misinformation, and this is a disservice to those people who come here for answers. I save filled in PDF forms all the time; in your opinion, am I routinely doing the impossible?
Apparently, you must own the full Adobe Acrobat package. That will allow you to do all sorts of things with a PDF.
I think getting to the bottom of what works and what doesn't in a thread titled "How to edit a pdf document then save using Preview" is hardly doing a disservice. I appreciate your giving me the inclination to try a fill-in form using Preview again. I am quite pleased to learn that PDFView and Preview (in Tiger and Leopard) will allow you to enter data into a filled-in PDF form. Somehow I missed that. Often, it is a good idea to go back and re-try something even if you are sure you know the results. Sometimes things change underneath without your knowledge and sometime your knowledge expands to allow you to accomplish what had before been "impossible."
You can sigh all you want. But please, check your facts next time. And a bit more civility would be appreciated too. Sometimes people are wrong. That's life. The purpose of this discussion forum is not strictly to respond to questions without further elaboration. I am not here trying to make myself look smart. I am here because sometimes the questions posed are interesting and make me think. I often learn something new while trying to help someone else. That is exactly what happened in this thread. If such elaboration were not allowed, then the only people answering questions would be those who want people to think they are smart or are trying to sell some book. That would truly be a disservice.

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

Preview has limited PDF editing capability. You can get a lot more on:
http://www.pdfescape.com/
or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC. If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.

How to Create Test Sequence Document in HTML using command line

How to Create Test Sequence Document in HTML using command line
I have lot of sequences and I want to create Test Sequence Documentation in HTML format using Command Line automatically, is there a way to automate this task using .bat file or using C# .Net

If you aren't able to figure out how to call a C++ DLL in .net then there may be another option. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this off the top of my head and I don't have an example.
The other option would be to change docgen.seq a little bit to the dialog doesn't display and you just hardcode the options. Then you can use a command line to call testexec.exe: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/startup_opt/

How to edit a saved document

Please help!
I saved a brochure as a pages document and now I cannot edit it again. It will open but it seems only to view it. I'm probably doing something wrong but it's quite a serious problem with essays in soon!
Thanks,

Hi O,
Conversion to and from Pages and Word is not perfect. Pages is not a clone of Word.
I interpret your question and reply as follows:
Perhaps you are using Pages to create your documents, then saving them as Word docs because your essays will be read by a teacher or professor who insists on Word.
Plan A.
Use Pages by all means if that is what you prefer. But first save as a Pages document. Keep that for future editing. Then Export to Word and send that as your essay assignment. If you then receive a Word doc from your teacher/professor with comments, don't try to edit that. Simply note down the comments and then revise your Pages document. Save in Pages, then export to Word.
Your Pages documents are yours. The exported Word docs are what you submit to your teacher/professor.
When you become a professor, you can insist that your students all use Pages!
Plan B.
Instead of exporting as Word, export as PDF.
Please reply if I have not understood you.
Regards,
Ian.

How to edit XML parsed data and save on iPhone app

Hi,
How to edit and XML retrieved data that is displayed on an iPhone app and save again in the same XML file using iPhone SDK.
In other words I want to change the XML file data or edit and save.
Thnx in advance.
Regards
Amit

Hello amit,
No, not at all. Surely you will parse your XML file using the NSXMLParser class. OK! i think i get it now, do you wants to change/modify the value of any tag in the XML file? For that you will be required to parse your XML file using NSXMLParser class, and fill out some data structure (according to the the XML format) do some changes into your data structure, and then write your XML to the file (according to the edited data structure) using the method i told u earlier. This is what my preferred method is, and i am pretty much sure that it is not a bad way to do this at all.
Hope this clarifies some of your queries.
Best regards,
Obaid

I don't know how to edit a html document

I know how to CREATE a html doc using MSWord but don't know how to edit it once it's done. Is there a Firefox add on or plug in that lets one do this? Or is a different program needed.
Specifically, I had a MSWord doc with several jpeg images and, when I converted to html, all were stripped out and I want to put them back in.
How?

I don't know either, but this is the forum for the 5g iPods, you may want to post in the Nano forum.

How can I parse the document in WebI using sdk?

I wanna to parse the document in WebIntelligence using sdk. My question is :
1) By which sdk, I can parse the document. 'Report Application Server SDK' ?
2) I wanna to parse the 'Self-Defined SQL' and 'Query' components of the document. Can the sdk support this request ?
My enviroment is BO XI Release 2.
Thanks all.

Hi shao,
1) By which sdk, I can parse the document. 'Report Application Server SDK' ?
'Report Application Server SDK' is For Crystal reports so for WebIntelligence or DesktopIntelligence Report it is "Report Engine SDK".
Apart from this if you want to do more on these reports "BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK" can be used.
You can get more information on below link for XI R2.
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm
For question 2,
I am not sure about it but Report Engine SDK provides classes and interface of Data Providers.
i.e. Building and Editing Data Providers and Working with Recordsets.
Also you can have look on
Report Engine SDK's
Interface "Query"
Hope these helps you.
Thanks,
Praveen.

How do I change my internet preferences to use Preview instead of adobe reader?

Somehow my preferences have been changed so that when I open a .pdf file in Safari, it opens using Adobe Reader. How do I change this setting so these files open up using Preview?

I TRASHED Adobe Reader... where it belongs. Somehow, and sadly, Apple dropped the GET INFO from under the program name, where it had been before. Command I is now short hand for Command Inspector - i.e. no longer Command Info as was in previous versions of OS X.
So, under Command I, there is no selection to make Preview the Default PDF viewer. How 'bout that? Sad is what I say. I think Apple should be a little weary here, go on Offense, and have an OBVIOUS workout to make Preview, any/all of its programs, the Default program.

How do I edit a pdf document and save it without having to save it as a new file?

I recently copied a pdf document to my computer. I need to make changes to it and forward it to someone else for review. I can make the changes, but when I try to save it, I get a message that the document is read only or is already open. As far as I can tell, there are no restrictions on the document and it is not already open.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X on a PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help with this frustrating problem would be appreciated.

Often what you describe occurs because Windows Explorer is open and has focus on the file.
Put focus elsewhere and, if the Preview mode is "on" turn it "off".
Be well...

How can I copy Word Document and save them in my iPad?

Hi, I just recieved my iPad 3 today. I've never used the Apple format before. All of my recipes are in Microsoft Word all neatly organized, there are many... I mean a lifetime of them and I'm old! I bought the iPad to use it in the kitchen and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to transfer my Word files to my iPad and put them in a document folder. Can anyone help? I sure would appreiciate it.

There are no document folders in the iPad. Files and documents are saved within the app that is used to create, edit and view the corresponding files. You need an app that can read and edit Word files and you will be able to save the files within that app.
You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud service, use iOS file sharing or use iCloud - if you use one of the Apple iWorks apps - in this case it would be Pages.
There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think.
This is a link to Apple's word processing app - Pages

How to edit test case document?

Hello All, 
 
In SOLAR02 transaction, we are uploading the test case documents in the test cases tab. 
 
Later we can create test plans & test packages. These test packages once assigned to the tester, it comes in the worklist of the tester. 
 
The tester while testing the test cases, can record the test results from the test workbench using the traffic light symbolled icon. 
 
But, my requirement is to edit the test case document and to give some explanation about what all went right and what all went wrong. 
Is that possible? 
 
Any inputs in this regard will be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks & Best regds, 
Alagammai 

Hi all,
I was looking for the similar info on the net, and I run into this, saying:
Here is some info from sdn.com
This depends on your support package level. But at least in one of the latest support packages this was made possible. You need to make a little customizing in transaction STWB_SET. Under "Notes" you must mark "Use test document". This means that in STWB_WORK when you add a note for a specific test case then a copy is made of your test script in which you can then enter results. This is then done without editing the test script template document.
If this customizing is not available then you have to apply the latest solman 7.0 support packages.
Thanks, just what was needed!!
Now test plan documents can be opened in STWB_WORK and edited there. Remark is that in creating the test plan (STWB_2), Test note drop down list should have the same value as the test document in Test cases tab (SOLAR02).
Would it be possible also to open test documents (Word, Excel, etc) in STWB_WORK in full screen somehow? That was not yet managed to be done.
Me personally haven't tried it yet, as I have to finish some other jobs first, but I thought it would be nice to share the info
