In InDesign, how can I name individual cells in a table for interactive PDFs?

Hi, I'm creating interactive PDFs for a client that include tables with empty cells that will be populated afterwards (depending on what information a customer puts in on a form).
The forms are created in InDesign and exported as interactive PDFs, but I need to be able to name the live fields (in InDesign) before I export the Interactive PDF, so that I don't have to select each indivual field in the final PDF and rename them.
The reason I want to be able to do this pre-PDF production, is because the forms will be rebranded over and over again and I don't want to have to rename hundreds of cells time and time again in Acrobat Pro.
The deveopler who's populating the cells already has predefined names for them, so I can's simply give him the names that Acrobat automatically defines.

What version of InDesign are you using? If CS6 or CC, you can add fields and enter a name for each in the Name field of the Buttons and Forms panel.

How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?

I want sent my PDF to a friend,but I just allow him see it only twice.
How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?
My software edition is Acrobat X

In the old days when PDFs were only opened on desktops and only in Acrobat or Reader, scripting could fake security features and people were generally convinced. As there are so many ways to open a PDF without scripts ever being run (from mobile devices to in-browser display, or simply opening the file in Illustrator), none of that works anymore.

Calc: How can I get absolute cell references in tables to work?

Hi, I'm new to Star Office, and have run into a problem in my first spreadsheet.
I have a data table in my spreadsheet.
Some cells in the table need to make calculations based on other cells in the table.
When I sort the table, however, the cell references are made to be incorrect. I expected that I could just use absolute references (e.g. $A$2) and when the table was sorted those references would be updated to refer to the new absolute location of that cell, e.g. $A$10). However, the absolute references are being left literally the same ($A$2) after the sort, making them reference a different row of data than intended. Relative references of course don't work in this situation either (I tried for thoroughness). (I thought Excel behaved the way I expected, but I just tried it in Excel 2007 and it is exhibiting the same behavior as StarOffice Calc.)
I'm also concerned, although I haven't tried it yet, about what will happen when I reference cells in this table from another table using absolute references that the same problem will exist...
So basically, I can't find a way to use absolute references to cells in a table that will persist correctly when the table is sorted. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Asa

I was able to work around the problem by creating an index column in the table with a unique number for each row of data and using vlookup() to reference the correct row. If there is a more elegant solution I'm still interested :)

OK. Think I've got it now thanks to looking at the short keys and searching for "Full Screen". The upper left key is "`" which looks like a grave - a slightly angled single quote. But when I look at the "Application" setting for Toggle full screen it is set to "'" - a "normal" single quote. Sure enough, if I hit the normal single quote key the toggle works.
I have not been anywhere near the hotkeys and can't imagine why anything would change it from a grave key to a single quote - especially as they look almost identical on the screen. I'm guessing that Adobe changed this (maybe only for international users?)
Anyway I now know how to toggle full screen, although it makes the "Premiere" keyboard with its big purple key for "Toggle full screen" redundant. Does make me wonder what the shortcut key of "'" or CTRL + "'" gives that I'm presumably missing since it appears to have been remapped.

Ive deleted contacts from my contacts list but they still pop up when i go to text and type in the name of a current contact. . How can i delete them off my phones memory for good? iPhone 4S

At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account, how can I setup individual notifications for each account. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work to be different than perso

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
Thanks

Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts. you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

How can I link specific cells in two different speadsheets so the data from a specific cell in spreadsheet A automatically updates in a specific cell in spreadsheet B. It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

How can I link specific cells in two different tables so the data from a specific cell in table A automatically updates in a specific cell in table B? It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

(1) your title ask the way to link different spreadsheets.
In Numberland, a spreadsheet is an entire document.
There is no way to link different documents.
(2) in the message, you ask the way to link different tables.
This feature is available and is described in iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide (which is available for free from the Help menu).
Getting the info just requires a simple search in this available resource !

How can I name a button/movie so that an external script can read it?

Hi,
I have a javascript on my website that is called on any click. The script reads the name of the clicked item. This works fine for all jpg/gif images with a name, but how can I name a flash movie in such a way that this script can read it? I tried several things, the name (and id) in the published parameters, the name of the instance, of the button, etc. But nothing works?
The external javascript is this:
var theName;
function grabName(e){
var targ;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.target) targ = e.target;
else if (e.srcElement) targ = e.srcElement;
if (targ.nodeType == 3) {targ = targ.parentNode;}
theName=targ.name;
if(theName){GoogleCounter(theName);}
document.onclick=grabName;
Thanks,
Irene

You should look into using the ExternalInterface class to have Flash talk to javascript in the web page that contains it. Here's a link that provides some information on that...
