Image field in Acrobat 8 Professional

I am making a form in Adobe Acrobat Professional and everything is going great and I put in image fields and activated the users so I could send it out to anyone that needed to use this form to place images. So all they had to do was click and find the image and it would place it. Well I am finding many problems, first problem I encountered was when I placed the image field and clicked on "fit image proportionally," in one and then in another one I chose "fit image to box," and they both did the same thing, it fit it to the box, it didn't fit proportionally. Is there a way to fix that? Another thing is that I worked around that for now and found a way to get the images on the form but when I did they were blury and pixelated, but they are 300 dpi, how can I fix that? If anyone can help me ASAP I would be greatful. Thanks

Acrobat uses a non-destructive crop. When you import the pdf into an intelligent program, it will only show you the part of the pdf within the crop box. I have used Acrobat and FrameMaker for years and it only shows you the proper part of the pdf. InDesign CS 5 seems to import the entire pdf unless you play with the import options.

Image field on acrobat professional x.

I'm trying to create an image field in a form that i've already done. Javascript action isn't working at all.
Any suggestions? How can i do that? Or i really MUST HAVE acrobat livecycle designer, a windows software, from more than 4 years ago because a type of button is missing in professional X for mac?

If it has to work with Reader, an image field created in Acrobat won't work. If you want the user to be able to select an image file from a dialog, then an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer is the only option. Reader users are able to paste images from the clipboard if the document has usage rights that allows it, but the user has to somehow copy the image to the clipboard.
Whenever this comes up I urge folks to submit a feature request. You can add to this one and I'll give you a few points: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823?tstart=0

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional support image which has been converted to a PDF to be edited?

Hi,
Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional support the content of an image which has been converted to a PDF file to be edited?
Sometimes when I try to edit the content of a PDF file which was created by converting an image into a PDF file, I notice that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional tells me that this Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot support this content.
On the other hand, even if Adobe Acrobat professional could edit a PDF file, I notice that there are far too many restrictions to edit the content, for example, if your new editing words are more than the old then the line goes out the page instead of going to a new line. In addition, if you reached to the end of a line, and then you press 'Enter' to let the rest of words of the last line be written on the next line, you notice that the words writes on the words of line which follows the line which is being edited. As a result, the text would be quite crazy.
Any comments would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot,

Thanks very much,

Even in the case of files created from word processing files, I notice that there are far too many restrictions in editing the content. For example, if you insert extra words or characters, the text does not automatically word-wrap. In addition, the "Enter key" does not work properly to insert a new line at the expected position. As a result, the text is quite crazy.

Using Javascript in Acrobat to emulate LiveCycle Image Field

Hello All,
I have a complex pdf form with numerous validation & calculation javascript calls that really could use the image field functionality of LiveCycle: that is, to have a user with Reader insert their own image into a fillable form. The images do not need to be submitted or extracted in any way.
Is there any work around for this feature in Acrobat 9 Pro (which I have) or X (which I might be able to get) with JS that might create or approximate the image field functionality? Given the complexity and volume of JS calls, I can't see it being worth converting the form to LC and recreating is not an option at this point. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately no, which is a pointless and silly restriction. Please submit a feature request for this in the hope that it may get restored some day. Feel free to add to this one: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823?tstart=0

You'll probably want to ask this in the Acrobat forum rather than here.

Image Field overwrite existing click event

Using LiveCycle 8, I am creating a form which has an image which will change when the user clicks the image object.
I downloaded the trial of Acrobat Professional 8.0. In this version, instead of creating a form in Acrobat, it uses LiveCycle 8. In LiveCycle, there is no Image Button and the Static Image object cannot be scripted. It seems the choice for a dynamic image object is the Image Field. But this object has a default click event which is not required in my form.
Is there a way to replace the default click event on the Image Field object? I would like to overwrite it's click event with my own Javascript script. So far, I can add my own script in the click event, but then both my script and the browse for image file occurs.
Thanks!

You can't override an event but you could put a button over top of the image, make it the same color as the background, remove the caption and then when you click the image you are really clicking the button. You can put your code on the click event of the button. make sure the button is in the foreground and the image field is in the background.

Editing Form Fields inside Acrobat? (after using LiveCycle Designer)

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended == Acrobat
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 == LiveCycle Designer
=========================================
Say I downloaded a new PDF from the interwebs.
I want to add some forms fields so I go to Forms ==> Add or Edit Fields... (inside Acrobat)
Now Acrobat will detect possible places where to add the form fields. I make changes etc. Then I am satisfied with my form fields.
Now say I want to remove a particular object from the PDF, lets take an image as an example.
So I fire up LiveCycle Designer; File ==> New ==> Import a PDF document ==> Create an Interactive Form with a Flowable Layout.
I remove that pesky little object.
In LiveCycle Designer, I save the file as PDF.
I open up Acrobat. I realize I need to make some more changes to some of the Form Fields.
But now instead of "Add or Edit Fields..." option I get "Edit Form in Designer..."
I hate the GUI of LiveCycle Designer --- I had rather edit the form fields from inside Acrobat, as it is easy and fast to change multiple form fields in a few clicks.

Thank you Niall for the above response; Your response gave me an idea which allowed me to remove that line by zooming in to 200%
You know Acrobat detects Form Fields for you.
But many times it makes mistakes, for example in the screenshot below it made the boxes that came with the PDF as text fields instead of check boxes.
The thing is rather than me delete the (form) fields it detected, and start over by making new check boxes, I will not be able to place my new check box in exact locations as Acrobat has done.
When I imported the fields that Acrobat made into LC (by saving the PDF in Acrobat and then opening it with LC) I get option to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box when I right click the object.
Is there a similar way to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box inside Acrobat? Any suggestions?
===========
I would really like to do it inside Acrobat because then if I have to make some minor changes to some field properties, all my hard work which I did by filling the fields gets deleted, as I am forced to use LC. The text I add to the fields don't get deleted when I edit the field properties inside Acrobat. I don't know why LC decides to delete all the text which is filled out in the form fields even though the PDF is saved in Acrobat before being imported into LC?
Here is the above PDF file with the text boxes:

Again thanks for all your guidance so far.

Acrobat 9 Professional: changing the default save setting as version 5 and later

The situation: We are using Acrobat 9 Professional. We have PDF files with version that was save as 5.0 or later. (We need to save it as 5.0 because it allows our PDF publications to be shown on mobile devices that don't support newer versions).
The problem:
Sometimes we need to go back to our PDF to change the front cover. However after clicking on save, Acrobat 9 reverts it to the latest version making our publications unreadable for mobile devices.
Options we have considered:
Using the save as optimized feature. This is not convenient since the file is about 2000 pages and using that feature will require it to rastersize and flattend the image on every page. It takes too long.
I am currently, planning to go back to Acrobat 8 Professional, but user would like to keep both version.
The question: Is there another way to set Acrobat 9 to save PDF as the original version it was created (that at least doesn't take that much time)?
Thank you in advance!

I mark this as an assumed answer by mistake. Still looking for an answer. I do not wish to install two versions of Acrobat. (This will be my last resort, if I don't have any other options) I try it also with Acrobat X professional and it seems that it automatically saves it to a newer version. So any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Read only image field

I'm using version 8 and have enabled my form in acrobat so that users can enter text in my fields. I also have an image field on my form. My question is how do I make the image field read-only so that a user can not click on it an prompt them for a file?
I need to use an image field and not a static image for other reasons.

I figured it out:
this.access="readOnly"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Document Compare (Revision Bars)

When comparing two documents using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, is it possible to generate revision bars in the margin in sections where text has changed (the documents in question would be text-only).
Thanks!

But the image is there when I click, it's just very small.

Acrobat 9 Professional forms missing data after upgrade to Adobe Reader 10

My principal has a macbook pro with OS 10.6 on it, and Acrobat 9 Professional. One of the Xerox technicians in our district came around and updated Adobe Reader on her computer to AR 10. This caused her computer to lose the license key for Acrobat 9 Professional. Now all the of the data that she had saved in forms done in Acrobat 9 Pro has been lost. When she opens these files, the forms are blank. Is there any help for recovering the data that was lost from these files?

As long as the tech did not remove Acrobat, it should still be there. I am not that familiar with MACS, but that is the case for Windows. I would suggest that the tech be requested to rectify the issue. It may be that she just needs to open Acrobat and then the file. It may be that a MAC has a file association like the PC, and in that case she needs to set the file association back to Acrobat.
If she maintains both AA9 and ARX on the machine, she should also update them. It may be an update issue that is causing the data to not be seen. Some versions have had problems with seeing the data unless the cursor is in the field of interest. So is the data really still there or not?
Hope my limited thoughts about the MAC is of help. I am sure that some MAC folks will be by to give help.

Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional - OCR Function

I have scanned documents that were saved in Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional. I'm trying to do text comparisons. I try to convert them to searchable text using OCR but it's telling me that it's below the minimum of 144 dpi. Any suggestions as to how I can get these scanned documents to compare for textual differences? I no longer have access to the original (prior to conversion to pdf files) documents. I have at least 10 documents, each over 25 pages that need to be compared for text differences. Thanks!

Save the pages in Acrobat to the TIFF format, using a resolution of 300 dpi
and the color set to monochrome. Then use the "Create PDF from multiple
files" feature to put the TIFF images back into a single PDF to be OCR'd.

Acrobat 7 Professional - PDF Writer errors out in Print Queue

Hello,
I'm an IT Technician. We've just imaged many of our machines and several of our secretaries use Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional so I re-deployed that application, along with the 7.1.3 update. Everything works fine for me, including some of our test accounts. For this secretary, though, every time she goes to print something to 'Adobe PDF' the progress bar flashes quickly, it errors out in the print queue, and no document is created. If I log in, or use another account with similar rights to her's, it works just fine. I have removed Adobe Reader from it, done all the update, even gave her full control over that printer but still no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

When you print to the Adobe PDF printer, it normally creates a PS file in a specific location and AcroTray then notes the PS file and proceeds to finish the job of calling Distiller. Doing the Print-to-file was just to check that the basic functions work. If they do not, then which one fails - the print to file or Distiller. These steps should help isolate the problem and give you some direction to go. Sometimes it is just easier to reinstall or repair the current setup. If the person is not logged in as an administrator, is it possible that the installation restricted the application to only administrators?

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.
