How to make a button on a form that will not appear when printed?

Hello again!
I have a rather strange request that I got recently from my employeer regarding a form that we are currently working on:
We have a form with a Acrobat created button on it that links to an attachment.  She does not want the button to appear when the document is printed.
Is this even possible??
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ashley

You can set the form field to be "Visible but doesn't print" rather than "Visible". This is far easier than the scripting solution.

    how do I make a button on the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

    You can set up a button with a "Submit a form" action and use a mailto type URL to specify the email address you want the forms sent do. If you want to send the entire PDF, select that option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL should not include any spaces and the "mailto" part should be lowercase, like:
    mailto:[email protected]
    This will attempt to initiate an email using the users default email client. If the user does not have one set up or there is some other problem, the email might not get initiated. If it needs to work with Reader versions prior to 11, then the form needs to be Reader-enabled, which you do in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

    If i backspace everything and start typing again in the same area, it will work properly the second time.
    I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
    Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • How to create a gradient field in CS5 that doesn't striate when printed?

    Can someone explain how to create a large gradient field in CS5 that won't striate when printed? I created a poster, 18" x 24" in which the bottom third gradates from olive to black. When it prints there are thick paralell bands which are  undesirable. The tips I found online go back to 2009 which don't apply to CS5. The directions in the CS5 manual are confusing to me. Is there a simple way to do this?

    Is your monitor well calibrated?
    Did you print it locally on your own printer before sending it out?
    After you've exhausted everything else, you might consider creating a small test file with the offending gradient, and physically carry it to one of the printing locations, and speak to a technician there. Honestly, it sounds like a profile mismatch, but if this has happened at multiple Kinkos locations, then I agree, it would seem the problem is most likely in the file.
    Have you looked at individual channels? (R,G,B)
    One other idea: you say it's olive to black ... you could try an olive gradient from 100% opacity to 0% opacity, placed over a solid black layer, (or alteratively, a similar black gradient over solid olive) and see if that improves the output. Beware, some printers are really bad at 0%-5% values. If the gradient is going from 100% of one color to 0%, this might be contributing to the problem. Try going from 100% to 5% if this is the case.
    One last thing: can you post a portion of the offending area of the image here?

  • How to make tiny squares not appear when printing?

    I have Adobe Pro X and I am having issues with printing. When I print a pdf document, sometimes the text is replaced by squares.  I have determined that this is caused by certain font.  I know for a fact that the pre set font used in "add text box" is one of those fonts.  I have read that you can embed fonts and that will solve the problem of the squares. 
    This image is of a sample of the issue. I have to take product documentation for manufacturers and provide these to clients for approval.  So, this issue is not directed at just one manufacturer provided pdf. The squares also appear in the text box at the top. 
    Questions:
    1.  How do you change the pre set font in the "add text box"?
    2.  How do you determine the font of a pdf document?
    3.  What is the step by step process to embedd a particular font?

    When you use the "Add text box" (also known as the Typewriter tool), you're actually placing an  annotation on the PDF. You can see this if you open the Comments pane and view the Comments List. You can change the font for the annotation by using the Selection tool and then double-clicking on the text. This will bring up the Typewriter tool properties where you can see what font is being used and change it if necessary. In your case, you don't need to embed the font because you're working within an annotation. What you'll need to do instead is to flatten the annotation so that it becomes part of the page content and no longer editable as an annotation. To flatten an annotation you can use the Preflight tool (which is only part of Acrobat Pro. When you open the Preflight tool, twirl open the PDF fixups arrow and select "Flatten annotation and form fields".

  • How to create a button on a form that automatically creates a new page or form with pre-filled field

    I'm trying to create an advanced workorder for my company.  In short, I need to have a summary page that includes pertinent contact and matter information but then have the users have the ability to essentially click a button and have it auto-generate and populate certain information in a new form (or page).  In this instance, it's trying to take summary form and then allow it to expand to an additional 5 forms, but not necessarily always have all the unecessary details or modules if not applicable for that job.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank for reply.
    The computers are in different locations, but yes it's possible, the users in this enviroment are all local administrator of the machines, and we can distribute the script centrally from the DC automatically

  • How do I remove a DHCP static mapping that will not go away in Server Admin?

    I have a static DHCP mapping to a retired network that I can't remove from the Server Admin GUI.
    To be specific, I click remove and it disappears.
    To then click "SAVE" and it comes back.
    How do I remove it manually? Where are the static mappings located that make it reappear each time I click "SAVE".
    From the DHCP logs:
    Jun 28 18:36:18 macmini-home servermgrd[97]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Removed record GabrielHouse-Gateway
    Jun 28 18:36:27 macmini-home servermgrd[97]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Error:Unable to update/remove record with id 45F7E04B-6368-419C-9A86-64458BBAC5C0 because 12 records found.

    Hi John,
    Thank you for taking the time to write up the approach and places to start.
    I have checked in all of the places listed and no luck. No occurance of the "stuck" statically mapped DHCP address. Just to add a note, of detail about the particular device in case this is a client device that is causing this .... The device is an iPhone and it is NOT using the bad static assignment. Also, the static record is an IP address that is now outside of the current network range..... It is 192.168.0.25 .... where as the current DHCP server range is in the 10.1.XX.XX range.
    Also, This server is not using Open Directory, but I did open WGM to see what I could see thru the GUI and I found no record in the local database.
    Also, note - I attempted to delete ALL DHCP configuration on this server by
    1) Exporting the configuration data with Server Admin
    2) Manually removing the bad DHCP static assignment in the plist
    3) Turning off the DHCP Server
    4) Deleting the full DHCP zone.
    5) Importing the DHCP configuration from the edited plist.
    6) Turning on DHCP Service.
    The bad record is back....
    Thanx for the ideas. Keep them coming....
