I created a pdf with some filled fields. The person I e-mailed it to said it was blank.

I open a PDF, use form wizard to detect and create fields, end form wizard, fill in some of the fields, save doc, and e-mail it. Recipient says PDF fields are all blank. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Using Acrobat 9 Pro.

If you are sending a quote and they do not need to deal with the form itself, after you complete the form just flatten it so that the form fields go away and are embedded as part of the PDF. Then save to another name (assume you already do that). Then you are simply sending a PDF to them, not a form. The form is simply being used by you to create a quote. This may be your best solution and makes it independent of viewer.
OK, I really don't know how to flatten the form directly, but a simple alternative is to print the completed form to a new PDF. I am sure that others may be able to tell you how to flatten the form in a more direct manner. In any case, if you can get the end result into a simple PDF format and not a form, then your customers should not have a problem reading it. Bill
PS - In another post, George indicated you can use a JavaScript to flatten the form
// Flatten this document
flattenPages();
I have been successful running a javascript as a batch, but don't know how to run it from the Acrobat window on the current file. It was a heck of a lot more straight forward in older versions of Acrobat where there was an obvious run button. But then I may just be missing something obvious that the manual does not discuss.

AFAIK, you can't author a DVD using iMovie - again, AFAIK, you need authoring software such as iDVD or Toast Titanium or something similar.

Any way to create a PDF with an image field or insert an image?

Hi. I'm using CS3 with Acrobat 8.1 Pro on a Mac. We're trying to create a one-page PDF that we'll save and users on a PC can open up and add text fields to, as well as an area where they can insert an image file (their logo). The source file is created in Illustrator. Would we have to create a document through Acrobat with these fields available to them in their version of Acrobat or Reader (where they can add their own content), or is there another way? Not sure how to best go about it, if it's at all possible. Thanks.

I don't think there is any particular requirement for Content although, you will have to play with the size of the fields to accomodate the size of the logo. if you want to send out over a web page then have them download, and email.
you will have to go to advanced menu and choose Extend Features in Reader. this will allow the item to be downloaded, filled out, saved and emailed.
NOTE: There is a limitation of no more than 500 returned pdfs.
Adobe has special service that allows you to do this unlimited however; It cost about the same as a Lincoln Towne Car fully loaded, per year. If your a Fortune 500 company its peanuts. But for the rest of the world its out of range.
I guess the reson its so expensive, is that its not used that much. on the other hand, if they would get price down to 250-500 bucks per year, everyone could use it.
However; this limited rights thing they have come up with is good for Non-profits and small businesses that just need something on a small scale.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Creating a .pdf with different page views

I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views. For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view". Is this possible? I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro. Thanks for any suggestions.

It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

How to create a pdf with the correct size?

Hi there
How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

A ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help

Hi all:
There is a requirement to implement an ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help, do you have any idea?
thank you very much

Hi - yes it can be done.
1st in your object select the component SALV_WD_TABLE (ALV component) * do all the bindings of your component to your VIEW, Component usage interface, etc.
When you are declaring your context node attributes if you add a TYPE Data element that has a search help bind to the data element it will be accessible in your ALV or in the Attribute there's a INPUT HELP that option that you can add the search help there but you need to have your ALV input enable
for example:
data: lr_input_field Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field,
lt_column Type salv_wd_t_column_ref,
ls_colum Type salv_wd_s_column_ref,
lv_value Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_config_table,
l_col_name type string,
lr_cmp_usage Type Ref To if_wd_component_usage,
lo_interfacecontroller Type Ref To iwci_salv_wd_table.
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ). *ALV is the name you enter for your component usage when declaring component SALV_WD_TABLE at the beginning.
if lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
endif.
lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ). *once again your ALV name
lv_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
lt_columns = lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
Loop at lt_columns into ls_column.
l_col_name = ls_column-r_column->get_id( ).
create object lr_input_field
exporting
value_fieldname = l_col_name.
ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( value = lr_input_field ). *this will made all your columns input fields
endloop.
hope this help!

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
I don’t see any link?
1.      We have a subscription.
2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
Only the tekstlinks are OK.

Create a Pdf with a job...

Hi!
A very simple question!
I have to create 9.000 pdf every month, with data present on db.
I don't want to press a button to create every pdf.
Especially, I can't keep busy the Client for all the execution.
I need to schedule this work, in every way.
Possibly, I don't want to install Report Designer on the server. But Report designer is installed on Client.
I need something like to schedule in a job the "Run product" command... but withouth the product!!!
Is it possible?
I accept also something of different, like to schedule in windows, but.... it has to be free. Totally free.
I know how to create a pdf with reports designer, but it has to be batch and the Client has to work normally.
Server
System: Windows 2003
Database: Oracle 10g
Development
Forms Designer: 4.5.10.6.0 (yes, I know: it is very old!)
Reports Designer: 2.5.7.4.3 (yes, I know: it is older!)
Thank you from Italy,
Margherita

It's doable using a windows/Unix/Linux scheduler running the report as a batch.
You may find your version's help text. Here goes the 6i's....
To run a report using a command file:
1     Create a text file using a word processor of your choice.
2     Type ORACLE_HOME\BIN\RWRUN60, followed by the report name and desired arguments.
3     If you ran the report in batch mode, and sent the output to a file (DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=filename BATCH=YES), open or print the file to verify the output.
