How to edit text on PDF form in Acrobat 8 professional

I just took a Word doc and created a form for an application. The client changed the deadline and I would like to know if I can make that change in Acrobat 8 Prof (MAC) or if I have to make the change in Word, create a PDF and completely re-do the form? Of course, it needs to be done right now.

Create a new PDF from Word. Open the old form in Acrobat and replace the pages with the pages of the new PDF.

How to edit text in a form

I downloaded a form to pay taxes, I compiled it inserting my dates but I wuold like to edit text: how can I do it?
thank you and excuse me for my bad english

I was going to comment yesterday and did not. I think I will chime in anyway for what it is worth. As Claudio mentioned, editing PDFs is not really recommended. If you have downloaded a government form, there may be some implications if you actually tried to change the form (to make it look better) and it could be rejected. I remember some time back I has a passport or visa form I think where the size of the field entry was rediculous. I lived with it and the limitations.
The form was also restricted from editing, that would have made it a bit more difficult and might have invalidated any submission. I do not know if there are any legal implications of making such changes, but there may be some aspects of the form not being accepted if you try to change it.
If you are talking about no fields available, you might want to recheck the source of the form to see if they have one with fields included (the IRS used to have forms with and without fields). If the form allows adding fields and that is the issue, then simply select the TOOLS>Advanced editing and use the form tools you need. If the form is locked, it is probably best to print the form and start using a pen.
Another option in the latter case is to print the form and then fill is in using a word processor, playing around with the placement of the text until the two line up. Then you just print the form and then reprint the text on top of it. That used to be the method folks used.

How to edit text in a form edited in LCD / Acrobat 9?

So I have a few minor edits to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat Pro 9. Apparently this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the latest versions. When I try to edit it in Acrobat XI I get the message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat" but I have no way to edit the text in LCD.
Are users of forms from release 9 really stranded?

I may still have a version of AA9 available to play with. If so, I will try to check things out and see if there are alternatives. Of course, you could recreate the form in Acrobat XI (that is where printing to a new PDF or extracting the info would be useful). You could also try Forms Central that is part of XI. It may be that Forms Central can deal with a LCD form, never tried it (but I tend to doubt it). If you did not use any of the fancy features of LCD forms, you might be better off just transferring it to AcroForms in XI.
OK, I opened an AcroForms file in Designer for AA9 and saved. I then opened the file in AA9 and was surprised that I would edit the text of the form. When I went to edit the form fields it took me to Designer as would be expected. I played around in Designer a bit and could not find a way to edit the text, but the text could be edited in AA9. I think this is what you had described.
I then opened the LCD form in AA XI and found the same result that you did. I was not able to edit either the text or the forms. However, I was able to export the form with most fields to DOCX. The result was pretty good for the form I was working with (suggesting it had reasonable tagging -- but that may also have been done by Designer, I am not sure). There were a few form fields that did not seem to come out, but most did on the 4 page form. I then used PDF Maker to create a new PDF and the result gave most of the form fields, similar to the docx file. It may be that this conversion process might be the most useful, unless you possibly have a form with dynamic fields that is unique in Designer.
Hope that at least clarifies a few things for all of us and gives you some ideas. You might find additional input from the folks in the forms sub-forum.

Edit Text in PDF Forms

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me.
I have a PDF Form which I created in LiveCycle, I was hoping to use this form as a template form, so all I had to do was to use the Touch Up Tool in Adobe Professional, and change the address.
The problem occurs when I change the address, as soon as I hit return to add a new line, all the layout on that page goes all over the place instead of where it is actually meant to be!!
Does anyone know how I can put a line in, without the formatting going wrong?
Also, to make life easier, if I could change the text in Livecycle, that would be brilliant, the only problem being it doesn't look like there is an option for me to select the text and touch it up like there is in Professional.
Can anyone help me please? I really don't want to have to create a new form for every company we have listed, I'll be here until 2012 just doing that!!
Thank for your help in advance.

That's interesting, I never thought about using that sort of approach, I will definately look in to that further, I have since found the fault in the file, it appears that for me to take a line out, I have to put a space at the beginning of the text in order to remove the rest of the text. Which is really annoying!
After the text was removed and the pdf saved, I went in to Livecycle and added a new field that way so that I could save individual files.
What you have taught me though will prove extremely helpful, I will start having a look at doing this in place of what I already have, but unfortunately I can't experiment with it right now, if I need any more advice on this, is there a way fro me to get hold of you outside the forums?

Lose Jpeg images when editing an existing PDF Form in Acrobat X - All other edits update OK

Have just upgraded to Acrobat X and am having problems trying to update an existing PDF Form which includes jpeg images. After all edits are done and I save, previewing the PDF identifies that all of the existing jpeg images within the form no longer display. Unable to figure out what to do to retain these images from the existing PDF.

Hi,
Based on your other post, the original form was developed in LiveCycle Designer. Therefore you would need to edit the form in LC Designer, to reestablish the link to the image files.

How to edit sheet music pdf files in Acrobat Pro XI?

Hello,
I am hoping to find a way to cut out parts of a musical score to save on page turns when reading the music with my instrument. Specifically, in guitar music there is often tablature directly underneath the music staff which makes for more pages in a piece. I would like to cut out the tabs so that only music notation is on the page. Is this possible in Acrobat or do I need to use photoshop or indesign or?? I would really like to find an elctronic way of doing this- for so many years I've assembled by physically cutting and pasting strips of the score to produce the music-only version.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. I am a complete beginner with Adobe products (except for Audition).
Myrtle

Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

Editing text from pdf file

how to edit text from pdf file?

Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

How do I create a Pdf form for others?

I have finally figured out how to make a pdf form, but my client wants to be able to attach the file to his e-mail and send it to his relations.
How do I create a pdf form with his adress in stead of my own e-mailaccount?
Tried to adjust my id in the preferences on my Mac, but that is not a safe way I guess...
Can anybody help me out, I'm stuck...
Bob

Yes, I want to enable the client's relations to be able to click on a link
in the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his e-mail address.
Now a purple bar shows up when a 'relation' opens the pdf form.
In this bar is a button included for sending the form, but they have to
confirm the adding of their reaction to the 'reactions-file'. This refers to
the location where I authenticallly saved the file (on my hard disk).
I can adjust the reply e-mail adress by temporarily adjusting my id in
Acrobat preferences, but I don't know the future location of the reaction
file.
It's a difficult question, but it's based on the question: Is it possible to
make a pdf form for somebody else; so they can send en receive the reactions
on their moment and their wanted location?

hi bob
are you saying the email address is on the pdf as plain text? or are you
wanting to enable the client's ³relations² to be able to click on a link in
the pdf to automatically submit the pdf to his email address?

How to include text in Adobe Form

How do I input data to a pdf form in Acrobat 8.1.6?

There's probably a simple solution for this but I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to input data to a pdf form using Acrobat 8.1.6, or how I can make the pdf file data field input ready? Thanks.

If you created the form Go back to Acroabt and go to advanced menu and choose:
Extend Features in Reader. then save.
Now open Reader and you can add information and save. (limit 500 instances per pdf).
Now if you created the form and have Acrobat make sure Acrobat in not in Forms Edit Mode.
Just type in your information and save.
Caution make sure that you finished all corrections and edits. because once you confer reader right you can not edit the form. you can edit the form items you fill in, but not the form itself.
to correct the form design you have to go back to advanced reader rights and save a copy without rights. make changes then confer rights again.

How do I distribute a PDF form to an outlook contact group?

How do I distribute a PDF form to an outlook contact group?

I've had better luck converting my PDF forms to WORD documents by first printing to PDF so that I get a "non-form" PDF then saving as try67 noted. The conversion came out much cleaner. In my case it i for folks that need to make edits to the format or data submitted to us via PDF form - the type of edits that would be challenging if done to a PDF.

How to tag a Print PDF form ?

Hi,
I need some pointers on how to tag a print PDF form. For one of the requirements, we developed a Print PDF form. The form contains Sub-forms which are made to look like a table. The relevant parameter(i.e., pdf_tagged ) is already set before starting the Job. The special case here is that the table gets the text for the header from the application data and shrinks or grows(upto a max supported column count) according to application data. For the same reason we cannot have a table, header row and body row marked in the accessibility tab in the form development transaction. Also, it is required that a header has to be visible.
So currently in the form :
1)We have just a set of sub-forms made to look like a table.
2)We do not have any table,header or body row identified in the accesibility tab.
3)Table also grows and shrinks horizontally.
4)First row of the table is made to look like a Header row(bold text) and gets the data from the application data.
5)This PDF is then displayed in a popup.
6)The PDF form is currently not tagged (not accessible).
Any pointers on how to resolve the issue would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Abhay

How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

Hello,
I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not
work ?

How do I put a PDF form onto my website?

New to Acrobat. Just bought 8 Pro for Mac version. How do I embed a PDF form onto my website?
Also, if the process to do this is hard, would upgrading to version 9 make it any easier? Thanks.

It depends on how the user's system is set up. Normally, the PDF will open in the browser, not just downloaded.
It is possible to embed a PDF in an HTML page, for example: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag_to_di.html
But note that not all users will have a PDF viewer installed, and not all PDF viewers are produced by Adobe, so this will not work for everyone. The above link cause my Firefox browser to crash, but it works with my Internet Explorer browser.
