HT2506 Font size filling out a PDF form in Preview?

Hello. Anyone know if I can change Font size when filling out a PDF form in Preview? If so, how? Thanks a lot.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

Filling out a pdf form with preview

I need to fill out some government forms which are of course in a pdf format and they want them typed. Before i go looking for a typewriter at the antique store, isn't there a way to do it and print it retaining the forms format? Preview will allow me to do about 3 lines and then stops allowing input. I've tried the google crap and from there the apache odt crap. Tried it on a PC too with growing frustration and zero accomplished.

That is quite strange. I fill out pdf forms with Preview, and it allows me to put as much text in as I want. I wonder if the problem is something inherent in the particular form you are trying to annotate. You might try Skim ( Download Skim for Mac - PDF Reader and note-taker for scientific papers. MacUpdate.com ) which is an app I used to use to annotate pdfs until I discovered that that functionality was already present in Preview. I don't know if you can post that form here or elsewhere and I could try to annotate it with Preview.

Fill out a pdf form from ADF application

Hi
I need to fill out a PDF form, from my ADF application and i want to know if exist a component or libarary to do this.
i hope you can help me
Regards.

Hi,
two options are:
Oracle BI Publisher (by far best choice but needs to be licenced)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html
Jasper Reports, Free but not as functional or easy to use as BIP
http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports
Both products have Java API's which you can integrate with your application.

Trouble filling out a PDF form

When I fill out a PDF form on my Macbook Air, all of the highlighted fields stay populated and the highlight disappears. When I look at the saved file on another Mac, like my iMac, the highlights are still there. If I click on them, the information becomes visible. But, if I then click on the next highlighted field, that information appears but the previous information disappears. If I try printing this form, the only information that prints is any box that needed a checkmark. Any suggestions?

Preview is a faulty application that corrupts PDF forms the moment it opens
them. You should avoid using it at all costs.

How do I fill out a PDF (form) document online?

I have downloaded a PDF to fill out, some of the PDF's are greyed out in the spaces that need to be filled out, other forms don't have the greyed out bit, is there some way I can get it to grey out so I can fill it out online without having to print it and do it with ink?

If the fields are greyed out then that is how the author of the form intended it to be. It may be a form that can only be filled in by printing and using ink.
If the author intended it to be interactive then you would be able to type in this fields.

When filling out a PDF form and reopening it is blank

When I fill out a form using Acrobat XI pro and then save it with the same name or a different name and try to reopen it, it is blank. I can us the quick print feature and it will actually print out the information I thought I saved. But if I open it again it shows blank. Any ideas?

RebeccaFlameLily,
This problem occurs when the Preview application on a Mac is used to fill-in the forms. It is well known the Preview corrupts PDFs in a number of ways and it should be absolutely avoided when using PDF forms. The damage it does to a document cannot be repaired, but you can open the corrupted form in Acrobat, export the form data (to an FDF or XFDF file), and import it back into a blank form. Then inform your users to use Adobe Reader and not Preview.

Filling out a pdf form with C#

We have some pdf forms that I have put textboxes, checkboxes, etc on with LiveCycle. I want to write a C# program that will ask the user some questions and send the pdf form the data to fill it out. On my development machine I have VS 2005, .Net platform 2.0, and Adobe Professional 8. The program runs fine on that machine. I downloaded the SDK and modified the FillFormCS code to build the test project.
Is it possible to do the same kind of thing with just having Adobe Reader 8 installed? Is there an SDK example that shows how?
Thanks,
Khari

Using Javascript prompts to fill out a PDF form

Can't fill in Adobe PDF forms

Hi ... I'm once again turningi to my favorite trusted resource for problems ... MAC users!
I have been unable to figure out how to fill in interactive forms in PDF format ... it just doesn't work! I've read Adobe's help pages for Adobe Reader 8.0 and can't find a workable fix. The help pages mention tool bars I don't have and icons that don't appear.
It kills me that my PC Internet Explorer friends can fill out and submit forms online and I can't.
What am I missing here? All help greatly appreciated!!

Carol, in case you didn't realize it, the problem might not be on your end. It could be the particular form that's causing the problem. Not all forms are created as "interactive." If the creator did not create an "interactive" form, I don't believe there's anything you (OR a PC user) can do except pull out the old typewriter or pen.
If you'd like to test a form that's definitely interactive, try downloading this one:
http://www.utc.edu/Administration/Admissions/secure/UTCApplication.pdf
I've just tried this particular one and had no difficulty using Adobe Reader 8. You shouldn't need any "tool," rather simply click on any of the interactive fields and start typing.
Incidentally, interactive PDFs also work with Preview, the program which comes with OSX, so you might wish to try that as well. It also worked fine for me on this particular form.
If the form turns out not to be the problem, be sure to post back as I'm sure someone can help figure this out. You definitely should be able to fill out a PDF form, so long as it was created as interactive.

Fill and Save PDF Form within Safari

I know I can download, fill out a PDF Form and save.
But we need to fill out PDF Forms online and have those forms saved on our server (within our Student Information Server).
I cannot see any possible way of doing this, and it could be a reason our school district switches to PCs.
I have downloaded, and installed Adobe Reader 8.0, which doesn't allow Saving PDF.
The Schubert|it 2.2.3 plugin for PPC machines won't allow Saving either.
Is there any hope.

You are misunderstanding.
I don't want to save the PDF on my computer. I want it saved on the server within our Student Information System.
It doesn't work with the schubert plugin (the plugin even says it won't).
I want to be able to modify a PDF that is on a server and save it on the server all within a web page.
It can be done on Windows. It can't be done on OS X (up to 10.4.9)

Font size, spacing in editable PDF document (application form)

I am trying to fill out an application form that has already been created by a university. The form's instructions indicate that applicants must fill in the fields using Times New Roman 12 point font with 1.5 spacing. However, nowhere in Adobe Reader do I see any option for changing the parameters of the text that I can type into the fields. Is this even possible?
Here is the link to the document in question, if that helps:

Thanks!

With Adobe Acrobat you can change the font in the text fields.

If the PDF is a form fillable PDF, which I assume that it is, email it to yourself or send it to DropBox and open it on your computer. You should see the fields filled in there. It works for me if I do it that way.
Adobe Reader supports it, but the other apps don't. I assume that if you email the PDF to a computer user it would be readable in Adode Reader.
