Insert phots to PDF forms a problem in Acrobat 9.0 pro

I'm trying to figure out a way to insert image files into a PDF form. Ultimately I want to distribute this PDF form and allow the users the opportunity to insert their own picture. Unfortunately, there's no tool for this on the interface that I can find. I'm also very new to Acrobat, so that could be the reason.
The only way I was even able to do something like this was to use the watermark tool. But users of this form won't have Acrobat 9 or Pro to use to add their own picture. Is there a way to accomplish this so that users with Acrobat Readers will be able to do this?

Ted Padova has a blog on Enabling Adobe Reader Users Options for Importing Images on Forms that explains how to do this on AcrobatUsers.com at:

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

PDF form submission problem - works in Acrobat and Reader, but not when embedded in browser

Hello everyone,
I am trying to submit a PDF form to an application server.
To do this, I added a "Submit" button to the PDF, configured the server's address and submit format, and tested the button.
I opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro, clicked the button, and my web application received the form in PDF format just as I wanted.
To make it work in Reader, I had to extend user rights via Acrobat Pro, and then the form worked inside Reader as well.
Up to here, everything went fine.
Then I embedded the PDF in a web page (which will be the final scenario) and it all stopped working.
The submit button doesn't do anything anymore, and no data is sent to the application server.
I even tried switching from the form's submit mechanism to calling event.target.submitForm(...) in Javascript directly, but nothing changed (meaning this too worked only when opening the form as an "offline" pdf, but not when embedding it in a web page).
Is there something I am missing? Something else that must be configured/activated in order to be able to submit the PDF when it is in the form of an embedded object?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Thanks for your reply, Paul.
I tested the submit button both in Reader 9.3 and Acrobat 8 (which is the same I used to RE the PDF).
Apparently I got it working too, but only by deploying my embedding web page to an application server.
The final environment the PDF will be embedded into will be inside a web application deployed to an application server, so I guess my problem is solved.
It didn't work only when embedded into a local test.html web page saved on my PC...
Thanks again, have a good day.

Insert Slider into pdf forms

I am new to building forms using Adobe and have limited programming experience. I would like to insert several sliders into a pdf form that can be used to quantify things like symptom severity or strength of agreement and have the slider output a value that corresponds to where the slider is on the scale. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's possible to approximate this type of control using a button and some more advanced scripting. I will usually include a hidden (or visible) text field to provide a means to include a value. But something that you can do yourself is use multiple radio buttons, to create a 0-10 scale for example.

PDF forms have problems displaying text and only appears when the field is selected

Hello,
I created some pdf forms to distribute to the company clients. But we are having some people complaining about the text visibility. When they have work in team, the pdf that they receive from a third person often appears unfill or without text, the text is only visible when the field is selected. I need to find a solution for this because our company products are base on this forms.
If there is any addition information that I should add to understand what is happening and how to fix it, I'll be happy to write it.
In the company, we all have mac and the forms where created innitially in Adobe acrobat 9 pro, but we have now Adobe acropabt XI pro.
The users have both Mac and Windows systems.
Thank you,

This is usually caused by the form being filled-in and saved by a Mac user who is using the Preview application to view the PDF. More information is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
It is a good idea to inform your users that Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) should be used to work with the forms.

PDF Forms - Which versions of Acrobat / Reader do they work in?

I'm trying to persuade a client to start using pdf forms that I've created in the latest Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I've tested the forms using Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on the Mac. The two versions work differently but I've come up with a work-around solution that means I can give the same advice to users of both versions of Reader.
But I could do with knowing if pdf forms work in earlier versions of Acrobat / Reader? Macs & PCs?
And if they don't work, what sort of warning will come up on screen? Ie. Will it say that they need to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader and give a link? - which would be good! Or will some other error message come up that will just cause confusion?
Has Adobe published any advice anywhere?

The Forms Creation where you use filliable forms that can be saved and attached to email, (500 returns max - using the Advanced > Extend Features in Reader). Works also in version 7 or reader. Nothing below 7 will work.

Mac User Cannot Use Form Created in Windows Acrobat 9.0 Pro

I have created a form and emailed it to a Mac user. He does not know what version of Acrobat he has or even if he is using a full version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (I tried to walk him through to check his version, but he could not find it).
He is using a laptop that is about 5 years old.
Anyway....I created this form in Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It works great for me...when I type in the fields, the text falls perfectly on the lines; the autocalculate works perfectly, and the RESET button works perfectly. When he opens the file, the text shows all below the lines, the autocalculate does not work at all, and neither does the RESET button. He sent it to another person, and they too could not use the form.
I have enabled the PDF so it can be filled out by Reader users and it is not in PDF/A mode, but it still is not working for him. I went to the library where they have a Mac and I was able to open it through Acrobat Reader 9 and again, I was able to fill the form out and it worked perfectly for me.
Would anyone be available (with a Mac) through email so I could send you the file to see if any Acrobat pros might be able to tell me what is wrong with it? I am absolutely frustrated to the points of tears over this. If you do not want to place your email here, I will give you mine so you can email me first ([email protected]); just let me know here that you are emailing me so I know to check email rather than check here.
Thank you!
Laura

He's probably not using either Acrobat or Reader. The Mac comes with a built-in PDF viewer named Preview and it has limited support for PDF forms. It even corrupts them when it saves. It should definitely be avoided. Fortunately Reader is freely available, you just have to get him to install it.

Color Separations Problem in Acrobat 8/9 Pro

We recently discovered a color separation problem in Acrobat 8 Pro and 9 Pro. In version 7 Pro we could select and thus include 'empty' color sep pages. Now when we select seps of the all the available colors, seps are produced only for those colors actually used in the job. This is true of pre-separated and in-rip seps. Can anyone shine some light on this 'change'? Thanks!

We are able to reproduce color saturation problem at our end. We have noted down and will work on this.
Thanks.

Using a MAC to fill out PC Created PDF forms creating problems

We have created a number of forms using LiveCycle to be filled out by clients. They include submit buttons that send the form back as a PDF (rather than a data file). The forms were then opened in Acrobat 8 Professional and usage rights enabled to allow the clients to save a copy of the completed form.
They work great...unless the client is using a MAC. We have encountered the following problems with MAC filled forms:
1) client entered data is present but only visible when the field is clicked on
2) the Print and Submit by E-mail buttons do not work for MAC users
3) the tabbing order is inconsistent
Any ideas of ways we can make our forms more compatible for MAC users??
Many Thanks!

Hi Rod,
Sorry I replied a few days ago, but for some reason it didn't seem to get added to the thread. So, here we go again ...
The "fix field" script worked great for me. So, we have been using that solution when needed. Unfortunately, I am not enough of an expert on these things to provide an intelligent answer as to why it may not be working for you.
But, it also became evident from dialogue and testing that the issue only occurs when recipients use MAC Preview to complete the forms. So, on some forms I have just added a note saying - MAC Users: Please complete the form using Adobe Reader. As this is, of course, free software, which most people already have installed on their computer, this seems to prevent the problem from occurring as well.
Hope that is at least a little bit helpful.

Viewing and retrieving PDF form responses problem

Yesterday there were 2 submissions of our driver application form. One was my test and the other was from an actual applicant. Both were clearly displayed under the View Responses tab and I could click on either one and save as a PDF. Today I have 7 new responses. When I click on the number under Total I get a series of horizontal cells: Time Submitted First Name Middle Name, etc. I am not seeing the individual submissions as I did yesterday. What's the fix.

Hi,
This FAQ may be useful for the missing responses, http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4071. If still not solve the issue, you can share your forms with me, I'll try to help you find out what is the problem. You can share the form to my email, [email protected]

I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral. I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck. All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button. It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral. What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website. Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting. I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral. This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables. The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows. Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

I cannot open any online pdf forms with reader, is acrobat somehow blocking me from doing this?

Have tried redownloading reader and flash but still having trouble

How are you trying to open them? Are you using a browser (if so which one)? What versions of Reader and Acrobat might be useful. If in a browser, can you right click on the PDF and select to open in a specific application like reader?

Help me about the problem of acrobat 9.0 pro extended.

I was upgraded Acrobat Reader 9 to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. But I didn't knew why, everytime I opened the Acrobat to read some PDF files, and then, after about 9-10s, the program automatic closed with no error screen or some thing like that?! I tried to repair the program, repair the windows, but it didn't work, please help me. I'm running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 with all hot-fix and updates from Microsoft, so anyone can tell me how to fix this problem, please, thanks you very much.

Be sure to write your download to a CD for safe keeping and list your product key with it. Also, register in case something happens to it. Those are all protection steps that you may regret if you ignore (many folks seem to have regretted not keeping the CD or registering).
You will need to carefully spell out the steps you are taking in running your program for folks to help. What you have given is little more than it doesn't work. I know you said there was no error message, but as much info as you can give about what you are doing and what happened. It sounds like you are simply reading PDFs, but it is not clear. Did you close each before opening the next?

Problem mit Acrobat 9.4 Pro/Win7 Enterprise (64bit)

Hallo,
ich hab Probleme beim öffnen von von pdf Formularen. Beim Öffnen erhalte ich von Acrobat die Meldung 'Zugriff verweigert' (ohne einen genaueren Hinweis auf was eigentlich:().
Das Formular öffnet sich zwar dann aber die Felder selbst können nicht bearbeitet werden.
Angemeldet bin ich mit einem Standarduser.
Wenn ich Acrobat 'als Administrator' ausführe ist das PDF Formular hingegen bearbeitbar.
Ich hab auch schon versucht Acrobat.exe im Kompatibilitätsmodus auszuführen (XP SP2/SP3, Win NT) ... ohne Erfolg.
Wenn ich den Kompatibilitäts Assistenten von Win7 ausführe erhalte ich den Hinweis das Acrobat nicht kompatibel wäre. Der Versuch seitens Win7 das zu fixen scheitert alllerdings ebenso.
Das einzige was wie gesagt funktioniert ist: Acrobat als Administrator ausführen...
Hat irgendwer ne Idee dazu?

You can try to enable Admin rights on your computer.
In start menu use the search field, type in cmd once you see that in your search result right click on cmd and Select "Run as Administrator".
Once the Command Prompt open's type in.
net user administrator /active:yes hit enter after typing it.
You should the message "The command completed successfully."
After you try this launch the software.

Opening multiple PDFs outside of browser in Acrobat 9 Std/Pro

Just got off the phone with Adobe's TS and was unhappy that they took the functionality of opening multiple PDFs outside of the browser and have it be contained in ONE window from Adobe 9. Unless someone else can tell me how to set this option up again, I'm sticking with 8 until there's an update to this.

I believe this was a permanent change. See the following link and conversation thread:

"Atin Wadehra - 2:39am Jul 30, 08 PST (#9 of 16)
Aandi,
The failure reason suggested by you provided me the solution for getting my my code to work. There is a setting in Acrobat to either open the each document in separate window or to share Acrobat's window.
The setting is Edit->Preferences->Documents->Open Settings section "Show each document in its own window (requies restart)"
Thanks for the help again

However, that preference is NO LONGER present in Acrobat/Reader 9. In version 9, we ONLY operate in SDI mode. So even with that fix for Acrobat/Reader 8 - you will STILL break in version 9.
You MUST rethink your code...
