I want to let Reader users add a photo to a form created in Acrobat 9.

I have a form created in Acrobat 9. I want to allow Acrobat Reader 11 users to add a photo. Can I bring the form into Live Cycle Designer to do so, or will that cause conflicts with the Acrobat form?

In that case you can't do it with an Acrobat form. Moving to an LCD form is not a mere technicality. The two technologies are very different from one another and are not compatible with one another. You should think and test it carefully before making such a move, and make sure to keep backups of your Acrobat forms.

Letting a user add a node to a tree

Hi,
Currently I have a tree that is built dynamically with a
remote object call. Also, if the user clicks on a node, a menu pops
up allowing the user to create a child for the node. How do I let
the user add a node to the tree ? I saw tangential examples showing
how to add xml nodes, but I am unable to translate that to trees
that are populated NOT in static xml, but from a remote object
call.
I have the following function signature :
// parentIndex - the index of the parent node, where the user
wants to add a child node
// childLabel - the label for the child node.
private addChild(parentIndex:int, childLabel:String) {
Thanks for your help.

Hi Tracy, this the code I am using from PeterEnt's blog. His
example was about drag-and-drop. I am trying to use it (maybe I
shouldn't:) for my child node insertion.
myTree.selectedIndex = parentIndex;
var node:XML = myTree.selectedItem as XML; // interestingly,
myTree.selectedItem is not null, but node is null. Why ?
var p:*;
if(myTree.dataDescriptor.hasChildren(node)) {
p = node;
parentIndex = 0;
else { // I am getting a null pointer exception here
p = node.parent();
var insert:XML = <node />;
insert.@label = "New Toy";
insert.@type = "Toy";
myTree.dataDescriptor.addChildAt(p, insert, parentIndex+1);
I am getting the parent value (label etc) correctly for
myTree.selectedItem. But when I do node:XML = myTree.selectedItem
as XML, I am getting null value for null. That's why I asked in my
first message if there is a difference in populating the data
statically as XML v.s. loading the data using remote object (which
is the case here).
Appreciate your help.

Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just thumbnail view?

Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just the thumbnail view?

...It's just really annoying to try to organize photos into an album when you can't see the full screen version of the photo... especially if you have several similar-looking photos, and you can't tell the one you want from looking at 40 thumbnails on an iPhone screen.

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

How to Have Reader Users Add a picture

I want Reader users to be able to add a photo to a pdf in a certain place. I know I'll have to "Enable" the pdf made in Acrobat 9 Pro. (I've already asked in that forum and they sent me here.)

>they sent me here
If it could be done, it would be something you'd have to do in Acrobat first but, I don't think it can be done...

How to Have Reader Users Add their picture

I want Reader users to be able to add a personal photo to a pdf. Is this capability made via scripting in the original pdf. Anyone know the code and how to use it?

I know that Reader users may fill out a form, when the form is specifically designed for such
I am not aware of any other editing functions in Reader
But... this is not the Reader forum, so you might ask there

How to Let Reader Users Delete Attachments?

Hello,
I am having a problem with Acrobat Pro X. I am creating a PDF file that has multiple attachments. Since I have the pro version, I can open the file and delete any attachment I want. But, when I open the document using only Adobe Reader X on another computer, I can't find a way to delete any of the attachments altogether.
I have turned off all security settings, etc.
Is there a way to extend this feature to Adobe Reader users? I want them to simply be able to delete any attachments of their choosing from the PDF file and save it per their specifications.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Man! That's retarded!
I am going to punch Adobe Acrobat right in the face!
Is there absolutely no workaround for this?

Is there an easy way to allow usrs with Adobe Reader to add images to a PDF form?

We are using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro.
We are currently using the "Ruber Stamp" tool to add customer logos to our forms in order to "Brand" the forms for our customers to use with thier customers.
We would like to make this a simpler process, self-service if possible.
We currently add fillable fields to the form and save with Adobe Extended Features so the customers can fill out the form for their customers and save the changes.
Is it possible to add a field where the customer could click on it as be prompted to load a .jpg ir giff into the field in order to brand it themselves?
They would need to be able to save the change just like all the other fillable fields.
Any thoughts on this one?
If we can't make it self service, is there a better way to do it internally than the Rubber Stamp wher ethe technician could click on the cielf and input the image directly rather than first creating the stamp?
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve

If you can get your users to use Reader 11, there is a way to do what you want if they are able to convert the images to PDF first. This is relatively simple these days as Ofiice applications can do it and anyone on the Mac can use Preview to convert an image to PDF. It involves setting up a button so that its layout is something other than label only and using the following code in the button's Mouse Up event:
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This is not available with previous versions of Reader, but it is available with all versions of Acrobat, so you'll be able to test it with Acrobat 10. For more information, see the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.739.html

Can users add an attachment & save the form?

I am attempting to create a form that users can download, fill out & submit with an attachment. It appears that the only way to add an attachment is the use an online (web form). But I don't see how users can save the online (web form) prior to submitting it.
Is there a workaround that will accomplish adding an attachment & saving the form?

Basically you are correct. Web forms currently have no way of locally saving them prior to submission. You could turn on email notifications found in the options tab to allow the user to see the data they entered.

Why can't adobe reader users open a link within a form?

When form is opened using Adobe Reader, links do not work. However, if opened using Acrobat XI Pro, the links work fine.
This problem has been going on for a few months now. I'm not sure if there was an update to something or if this is just a bug that needs fixed.
If anyone has a solution, please advise.
Thank you,

Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

HELP!!!!
I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
Cheers!

>. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
That's correct.
>but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
to buy to save forms.
> I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
a different one.

Cannot create a Response File in Reader X from form created in Acrobat Pro 9

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I distributed the form using option "Manually collect responses in my email inbox" and "Save a local copy and manually send it later". When I send that form and get a response, I open it in Adobe Reader X but I do not get the pop-up option to save to a Response File. I do get that option to save to the response file if I open the file with Adobe Reader 9. Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a solution?

I figured a way around this in case anyone has the same problem in the future. I just opened Acrobat Pro X, clicked combine files into PDF, selected the file I wanted, saved the "binder" as PDF then saved another version as Reader Extended PDF. I think this helped because it essentially creaded a whole new PDF with the old PDF in it and getting rid of whater hashes or document properties in the last one that wouldn't allow it to work in Reader. Opens perfectly on other computers.

How do I create a form field ONLY template in Acrobat 9 Pro that will let the user enter and print only the form field data on a pre-printed form?

This template will be used to type in information that will then be printed on an agency's official, barcoded form loaded in a printer (instead of blank paper.) Only the user-entered info should print on the pre-printed form. Users will use Adobe Reader to complete their templates; they do not have Acrobat. Thank you!

Use the template as non-printable background and add the form fields.

Forms--Reader users unable to fill in "enabled" form.

I created and enabled several PDF fill-in forms in Acrobat X. Just recently associates are telling me that they're getting the following error message:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
This has never been an issue previously. Does anyone have an explanation why this is happening now and how to fix it? Thanks!

It can be difficult to nail down a specific cause for this. When a document is Reader-enabled, it is signed with a digital signature that is used to detect if any changes have been made that are not allowed. So if a document changes in a way that's not allowed, it will fail validation and Acrobat/Reader won't allow any other changes and yo get the message you see. You will also get that message if the system clock of the user's computer is incorrect and it's set to a time before the time that the document was enabled.
Documents can get changed for a number of reasons, including when transmitted via email or FTP, or when there's a problem with the file (e.g., fonts) and Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct it. Without seeing a before and after file and doing a detailed analysis, it's impossible be more specific. You might want to see if re-sending the original and having them use it makes any difference.
