Illustrator file into customizable PDF

I have created a "bid form" in Illustrator 6 for a client. They want to be able to pull it up in acrobat, fill in the fields according to the client, job, customizations, etc. They want general blocks of info to remain on each form (which is part of the form I've designed in Illustrator) How do I import the ai file for .pdf usage in acrobat?

When you save the .ai file as a .pdf file it will contain no form fields.  In Acrobat Pro XI you will launch the application.  In the splash screen (or welcome screen) you will click on the Create Form button.  In the Create Form dialog select From Existing Document and click the Next> button.  In the next dialog you use Choose Another File and then use the Browse button to navigate and select the .pdf you created in Illustrator.  The .pdf file will open in Form editing mode.  The tools for adding fields will appear on the right.
This will work for Acrobat Pro X as well, but the names of the buttons may differ slightly.

  • Importing adobe illustrator files into powerpoint. (Vector)

    How can I import vector Illustrator files into Powerpoint, so I can edit them later. I have tried PDF (won't work), WMF text breacks up and scaling makes the text crap!
    EPS looks rubbish.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Need to edit the graphic colour and change update text.
    Then you can't build it in Illustrator; at least not all of it.*
    ...or create in Power point...
    .That's your answer. Ultimately, Powerpoint-editable = Powerpoint native.
    ...which is very limited!
    Are you just assuming that, or have you actually tried to do something and found it impossible? Plenty of drawing can be done in Powerpoint, and text is text. What exactly are you trying to do?
    *If you are running Windows, there are ways to get straight Illustrator vectors (no live effects, blends, meshes, etc.) onto a Powerpoint slide using Paste Special. Forget text though, seeing as you need it live and editable in Powerpoint...you'll have no choice but to set it in Powerpoint.

    How do I convert an ASP file into a PDF?

    None of the free Adobe Reader products (Adobe Reader Touch, Adobe Reader for iOS/Android, Adobe Reader XI for desktop) provide the support for converting ASP to PDF.
    Acrobat XI Pro and Standard (which are not free) can convert an ASP page into PDF.
    Please note that Acrobat XI Pro, Standard, and Reader XI are not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

  • Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

    All,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2).  I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine.  As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
    How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
    Create a link using the Link tool
    Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
    Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
    In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
    Select one of the following link actions: 
    Go To A Page View
    Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
    Open A File
    Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK. 
    Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
           Open A Web Page
                     Provide the URL of the destination web page.
           Custom Link
                     Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

    Hi George,
    I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit. 
    I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
    I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects.  I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image.  The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF.  Does this make more sense?  I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Merge Files Into Single PDF

    Just wanted to know if there's a way on Acrobat 9 Pro,i can select a folder using Merge Files Into Single PDF and have it merge each of the subfolders in the folder into separate single PDFs and have then retain the names of their corresponding subfolders? At the moment i'm having to do one folder at a time and then name them.
    Any help would be great

    Hi Bill
    Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
    I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
    I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
    Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
    Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

  • When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

    when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

    Hi John
    I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

  • Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into a pdf.

    Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into
    a pdf. Any advice?

    To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
    The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
    You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.
    Be well...

  • "In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

    I converted multiple emails into a pdf file.  After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date.  How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

    Hi Softball ,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.

  • How to merge multiple files into one pdf

    I would like help with this task. If I could do this for free I woul actually be more likely to follow advice. Many thanks

    Hi Lauravill,
    The free Adobe Reader cannot help you with the merging job. If you have Acrobat Reader then you can merge files into one pdf with the following steps-
    Within Acrobat XI, select File > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF.
    Click Add Files and select the files you want to add.
    Click, drag, and drop to reorder the files and pages. Double-click on a file to expand and rearrange individual pages. Press the Delete key to remove unwanted content.
    When finished arranging the files, click Combine Files.
    Select File > Save As > PDF.
    Name your PDF file and click Save.
    Let us know if you face any problemwith this or need extra support.
    Thanks

  • Convert virtually any CAD file into a PDF document .

    Can Acrobat X Pro Convert virtually any CAD file into a PDF document using templates?
    Earlier Acrobat 9 Pro Extended used to be ?

    In the latest version of Acrobat the grammer was added to allow embedding a swf file. Unfortunately the Designer (the tools for getting the swf in there) lags behind and will be there in a future release. So if you really want this you must do it by hand and it will only work in Acrobat/Reader 10.
    Here is a blog entry that describes how to do it:

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.
