How to set a form field in pro so an 'adobe reader' user can insert a jpg (not a pdf) as an image. It used to work but now doesn't.

I think this question has been asked a million times before but I'm hoping something has been resolved now! It did work for me and my client a few months ago (by using the 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();' script. I'm 99% certain it worked fine a few months ago, where the adobe reader user could select a jpg to insert...but now it only allows a pdf. Does anyone know if anything can be done? I know you may say LiveCycle but is there really nothing else?
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing to solve. If Reader (XI only) is used only PDF files can be selected. This is how it's supposed to work (although I agree it's silly and should be changed).

  • How to set a form field focus

    Is there a simple way to set a form field focus... so basically on load the field focus is set to a specific field?  I know how to write it in javascript but was wondering if there is a simple way to basically select the field and click a button or two and get the same result?  thanks.

    The script for that is extremely small and very simple.
    In all hosety, it would probably take longer to edit it through the DW interface than by hand.
    Add this after your form and change the bold areas to the name of the form and the name of the input you want to have focus on...
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
    document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextfield'].focus();
    </script>
    Those two things are the only items that will ever change.

  • Quick Tip: How to create editable form fields | Acrobat X Tips & Tricks | Adobe TV

    A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/wzXkmL

    I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

  • How to set a form field that automatically saves as email subject title

    I am creating a form in acrobat 9 and want the submit to email button to automatically use the information from one of the text fields as the subject title of the email. So when the client submits the form at the end the PO number they have used will automatically be the email subject. Is there any way to do this? I have found an example created using javascript but I am very much a novice with this so I don't know where to start with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • TS2481 How do I sync google calendar with Ipad 2 thru the cloud. Used to work, but now I've lost it. Maybe a setting?

    What setting do I use on my Ipad 2 and Iphone 3GS to enable google calendar to sync thru Icloud between my 2 devices? Thank you!

    Hey JonC84
    Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    Calendars
    To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
    - When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
    - You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
    For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

  • Im trying to send an iMessage and it use to work but now it doesn't send.  Did this person block me?  Ive tried from iPhone 5, iPad 2 and macbook pro.  I can send an SMS or it looks like I can send it. because it doesn't say not delivered.

    I have a friend that I use to be able to imessage with.  We havent talked in a long time.  Now when I send message from all my devices it will not send.  Did he block me?  Or is there another reason it wont send. 

    Have you tried calling or sending a letter? Keep it simple, "i haven't been able to reach you in a while, and wanted to see if your OK." Who knows maybe he's thinking if you blocked him. And if he is blocking you, don't waste a moments more time on him.

  • How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
    I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
    Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
    Hopefully someone can answer my question.

    George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
    I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
    Does this sound possible to you?

  • How to enable commenting for Adobe Reader users--missing menu option?

    According to the help file, I can enable commenting in Acrobat Pro X so that Adobe Reader users can use annotation and commenting tools.  The help file says:
    "In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.:"
    However, all is see on my menubar is:
    According to the help file, I *should* see something like the following:
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro X.  I have installed Acrobat Pro X on a machine that has never had Acrobat Pro installed on it.  Each time I see only the shortened version of menu options.
    So, why do I only see File, Edit, View, Window and Help?  Where are  the other menu items, such as Comments, Forms, Tools, etc?  Is there  something I need to do to enable them?

    *Thank you*.  That worked.  How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat.  Thanks you again!

  • Creating PDF interactive image fields for Adobe Reader users

    I Need to create image fields to PDF flyers that Adobe Reader users can click on to import JPG/EPS image files and print out. I've seen this done on a PC using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7. My system is Mac OS 10.3.9 using the Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Since LiveCycle is a PC program only, I find I'm limited to creating live text fields only. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • How to set a payload field value only once for multiple instances selected?

    The user needs to set a payload field value and then he can approve the task so the task can continue through the process, that's fine when the user selects one instance and sets the value in the task details section and then clicks the approve button, but how do we achieve the same behavior in a multiple way?, I mean the user can select multiple tasks in the workspace (in this case the details task page is not available and instead the following label appear "Multiple tasks selected") then if the user clicks the Actions drop down -> APPROVE he only gets the message "your request was processed successfully", so how can the user modify the payload field value only once for all the selected tasks so when he clicks APPROVE the value is populated in all the instances selected.
    Thanks,
    Carlos.

    In the action which displays the edit page just set the form idx value before displaying the jsp.

  • How to set Mandatory Choice field while Creating Custom Task using Sharepoint Designer 2007

    Hi,
    I am new to Sharepoint development.I dont know whether i am posting  the question in Correct place.Kindly redirect me to the correct place if i am posting it in wrong place.
    I  created a custom task in Sharepoint Designer 2007 using
    Collect Data from User
    Action.
    I created a field in the task form which is of choice type and
    unchecked allow blank values
    because i  wanted that field to be a mandatory field.When i handled that task ,i was able to complete that task
    without selecting that mandatory field.But, I was expecting not to allow me to complete the task without selecting that field. Kindly  tell me how to set the choice field as mandatory.

    Hi,
    You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
    This is by design that
    Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
    This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

  • How do I bring form fields to the front or back?

    I have a document with many form fields/push-buttons in order to create pup-up effects in an info graphic.
    So I use fields to create a mouse-over hot spot, and others that pop up. Now, of course, the hot spot must be in front (or on top), otherwise it gets distracted in it's mouse-over function by the popped-up object (image) that lays over it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you roll over the hot spot.)
    Now how do I arrange the fields?? Ich can arrange images and texts to come to the front or hide behind other objects. But in the form field editing mode there is no such option. Also it doesn't work to just cut and paste them, they re-appear in their former position, often behind the other fields.
    Please, help! Thanks, Peder

    Thanks, I will give it a try. To "recieve the focus" means being activated / hovered?

    The tab order effectively sets the z-order, but if a field is not read-only it will be set to the front if it receives the focus.
