Is it possible to pick up an existing PDF without permissions and give it permissions?
There is a product in the field that will convert JES2 output from the mainframe to a PDF. However, the product does not have the abilility to set permissions correctly for comment and markup features to be used in Adobe Reader. The plan was to have the product email the PDF's to a Server that would be running a version of Acrobat and have Acrobat set the persmissions. So, I would need the capability to pick up a current non-permissioned PDF with Acrobat and set the permissions to demonstrate that capability prior to ordering a trial of the product in the field. I have tried to do that but it doesn't seem to work or I am not doing it right. How do I do that? Running Acrobat 7.0 PRO and Adobe Reader 9.0.
Thanks George. We are basically trying to evolve our Mainframe developers off of the need for continuous forms print. H&W's JES2WEB product will take JES2 output and convert it to PDF's. Giving each developer the ability to do markup and comment features would be great in that evolution, but unfortunately JES2WEB can't set the permissions. That's why I was looking to have a server do the permissions settings for the PDF's produced by JES2WEB. The first time I called Adobe support they indicated that Acrobat should be able to do what I was asking. Do you think Adobe's LiveCycle would be able to work in this manner from a licensing standpoint or is every desktop expected to be Acrobat licensed to get these features? The latter would most likely be cost prohibitive.

Is it possible to embed fonts in a pdf without all the tools?
I'm preparing a book manuscript for publication (self-publishing/print-on-demand) -- and trying my best to do it on a shoestring budget of zero.
It's ready to go. I designed the cover with Pages 2.0.2.
The manuscript is in MS Word X for Mac.
But...it looks like I need Adobe tools in order to embed the fonts before uploading.
Anybody know a way around this?
ThanksIf you print to PDF, all fonts that can be embedded are embedded by default.
Some fonts have copyright restrictions, that makes it impossible for Mac OS to embed them. Some print-on-demand services, like Lulu, have had problems with the way Mac OS embeds fonts in the past. I do not know if that is still the case.
You can check which fonts are embedded in the free Adobe Reader. -
Is it possible to save an image as PDF without actually converting it ?
According to the Convert To PDF setting, it seems that no matter what format the source image is, it is always converted (into either lossless heavy format or a lossy lighweight format) when saved as a PDF.
I want to use GIF because it's the best quality/weight for newspaper type of images, but when saved as PDF the text is always bold and blury. How can I avoid this ?No, one needs to convert the image to the PDF format by use of a program that can read the image and then create the data streams used by the PDF.
I would not use a photo editing program to add text to an image, you might use a page layout program like InDesign. PDF does store text and images in different objects and data streams. This should provide a much better result. -
Is it possible to embed a newly created form into an existing PDF?
Hi,
I have an exisiting pdf (3 pages of text and images) that I need to add a form to on the last page. I've created a form but don't know how to embed it, and I have a feeling there's a better way to do it.
The idea is that we can then email this PDF to people and they'll be able to fill it in.
I'm a new user and can't find out how to do this- I'm sorry if i've missed something obvious!
Thank you in advance.Hi;
You can do it with Adobe Acrobat...
First: Create your form in FormsCentral and from the Distribute tab "Save Submission-Enabled PDF"
Second: Open your existing PDF with text and images in Adobe Acrobat and in Acrobat go to Help - Find and type "Insert Page from File" (under Tools depending on the version of Acrobat you are using) and add the FormsCentral PDF to the existing PDF and save
The resulting PDF file would include the FormsCentral form and submitters data would be collected on FormsCentral servers for you to view/download in the View Responses tab. You can also set up Email Notifications and Submission Reciepts that would all work with this PDF form.
Thanks,

Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking?
Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking and going through the import options?
I'm trying to import seveeral pages of the same PDF. The process would be quickest if I could import it once, then duplicate the image box a number of times, then just change the page number each image box is linking to.
At the moment I'm having to relink (or place), then go through Import Options, then choose the page - it's a long process that feels like it should be quicker.
Any ideas?
ThanksThe short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID. -
Possible to pick and choose a call from the queue? (UCCX)
Hi All,
I have one main UCCX queue that outside callers are placed in and I recently created an internal queue that's only reachable by internal transfers. I'm hoping to assign higher level CSRs to this new queue and use it for escalations. I was wondering if it's possible to let these escalation CSRs view the queue and select calls to answer rather than having calls automatically routed to them.
Thanks for reading,
GaryHi Gary
No, afraid not... callers will be served in the order determined by UCCX, which is typically FIFO. You can bump up the 'priority' of a call from within the script, but this would be based on script logic, not by the Agents cherry picking...

Aaron

In Adobe ExportPDF, can you take an existing PDF and delete existing pages? For example, I have a 5-page report and need to delete pages 2-4. Is this possible? Thanks!
Hi,
You can do this with Adobe Acrobat.
If you are using Export PDF it is a long procedure.
You need to convert your PDF in word or powerpoint.
Then you can edit the document & again can create PDF.

Possible to pick records with out identifier in a file?
Hi All,
I have a file with header,trailor and detail.. I want to know does each should have a seperate identifier or BODS can pick up with out any identifier??
Say Header has a identifier H and Tailor has T where as Detial doesnt have any .... Is it possible to pick and process the file in BODS for a header..its respective Tailor and its respective detials???
Thanks
RajeevHi,
I'm asuming your file contains only one set of Header,Detail,Trailer. Also I'm assuming that the first field in the detail records would never begin with H or T ? If so then you can define three separate file formats, one for the header, one for the details and one for the trailer. If the header and trailer records are identical in structure then you just need one file format for both of them and a seperate one for the details. In the file format for the header/trailer you will define the record structúre which would obviously include the indicator field. When you want to read the header record use the header file format (or header trailer combined format) and specify WHERE indicator='H' in the Query transform, similarly when you want to read the trailer records use the trailer file format (or the combined one) and specify WHERE indicator='T'. Lastly when reading the detail records use the detail file format and specify WHERE indicator <> 'H' and indicator <> 'T'.
Hope this helps. -
Mess SR 053 - Creation not possible (Mapping for product already exist..
There is an error ocurring when the CIF is executed, this message I can see in the transaction SMQ1, the error " SR 053 - Creation not possible (Mapping for <product> already exists <product> ", the product really exists in APO but I don't know why this error occur because in this case the material should be updated. Anyone know why this error occur ?? and how can I fix ??
When I try to execute only this material in CFM2 no errors occur.
Regards,
Edson SuzukiWe did faced a similar problem. The reason was the external material number was different in both cases.
ie the already existing record has the external material number padded with '0000' and the one coming doesn't have leading '0000'

Restore your new iPad from your most recent backup of your iPad2 in iTunes when you set it up, and then set up your wife's iPad2 as new device in iTunes by clicking on 'restore' on the main summary screen.
Alternatively, you can just go to 'Settings>Reset>Erase all Contents and Settings'. -
How do I Edit an Existing PDF Form Without Losing Form Functionality
I'm brand new to Acrobat but familiar and proficient with Flash, PhotoShop Premiere Pro, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc.
The company I work for sells office supplies. We sell 57 distinct items. We have Acrobat 9. I am designing a PDF order form with fields that can be emailed to our clients as an attachment. They fill out the form, it calculates the total, they send it back to us, we fill and ship the order. Basic and straightforward.
I can add form fields to my order/pricelist... not a problem. The question is:
Once I have brought a PDF into Acrobat and add 57+ fields and calculations, which is a time consuming process, how do I edit an item price at a later date, if someone in the company decides to make a change to our pricing?
See..., If I save the original Microsoft Excel document as a PDF, Acrobat can't edit the text for some reason. Something to do with "Renderable Text". Now if I open the PDF saved from Microsoft Excel in Adobe Illustrator, I can use the text tool to make changes. That doesn't help me... just saying. Why can't I edit "Renderable Text" with the Acrobat Text Tool? Someone in a forum stated that Acrobat is NOT a word processing program! If that is an accurate statement, it would appear that Acrobat can at least work with base PDF documents to make certain types of modifications and add functionality. Is that correct?
Here's the problem. I create a PDF with form functionality. Everything works great. The boss says, I want to change the price of the scissors. I can't change the text in Acrobat because of the "Renderable Text" nonsense. Does this mean that I have to re-apply all of the form fields and calculations to the new base PDF document every time there is a minor change? I know there has to be a simple work around. Should I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat?
Is it possible to save the original existing form functionality as a layer or overlay to be applied to the new modified base PDF document? Kind of like so many other Adobe products do including PhotoShop, Fireworks, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash etc., so that all of the form functionality can be applied in one big chunk? Premiere Pro has the time-saving feature of "Paste Attributes". It's a real time saver.
It may be simpler to just direct me to a video that goes through the process of creating a PDF order form with fillable fields that multiplys quantity by unit price and totals one column.
I already created a prototype of the form in PhotoShop which can be saved as a PDF. The finished order document appearance has 95 horizontal 3px wide lines and 6 vertical 3px lines, kind of like what one might expect to see in an Excel spread sheet. The form also contains some graphics and unconventional text areas that acrobat could overlay text fields and everything would be fine.
With these great number of horizontal dividing lines, It doesn't seem practical or even possible to create the basic layout in Acrobat. As I originally stated, I'm new to Acrobat and would like suggestions for a workflow that enables easy editing of an existing PDF document with form fields. I want to avoid the monumental task of re-doing all of the fields and calculations.For what you are trying to do that is probably what you want -- Replace Pages. There are a few more issues that you need to be aware of since this is a business form. If customers are using Reader XI, it is not an issue.
On the renderable text, can you see the text list when you look at the font tab in the document properties (ctrl-D)? If not, they you do not really have fonts to edit. This may be the type of fonts you used in the original or the way in which you did the conversion to PDF. You need to have fonts that are on your system and then be sure to embed them (otherwise others may not be able to read them because of different OS or such).
As to e-mailing the form, that is fine (though there are sometimes problems with various clients and PDFs -- but usually on the sending end).
For collecting the data you may want to try a different route. For users of Reader XI, they can save the form with the data. Prior versions could not do that unless you enabled the form for Reader. However, this latter process has a 500 form use limit -- A license issue. If the data is submitted, then it does not make a difference. The folks with Reader XI can still save the form with the data, others will have to print a copy for their records.
The data can be imported to the form on your end and so you would have the exact same results as what was filled out. However, the submission process should be set up to submit to a web script for your receipt and not use mailto. The latter has problems that you have no control over due to proper operation with the mail client on the user machine. Typically the mail client must be the default and use MAPI. In any case, it is not reliable (not for business use). So submission to a web script is useful. The data in AcroForms would be of the type FDF (or possibly XFDF). If for some reason use created the form with Designer, that limit any editing in Acrobat since it is no longer a real PDF, but an XML container that Acrobat and Reader can display and interact with, but not change. Again, submission to a web script is still preferred.
For dealing with a web script and some coding for various languages, you can check out the FDF Toolkit. It has been around a while, but should still handle the CGI needs of the submission. In addition, it has tools for adding the data to a database and other typical operations for data collection. You can save the FDF files and import them to the form and deal with the data there also.
The use of Replace pages would do the job if all your form fields will still need to be in about the same location. Form fields are mark up and the pages are referred to as the document. Thus the replace pages will just original page and leave all the form fields. You will still need to go back and fix the value within the fields themselves, but that is a field edit. -
I recently purchased a Time Capsule to store data at my office. I have an Apple TV at my home that I would like to start using to play my movies. With the storage of the new Time Capsule, I am curious if I can somehow store my iTunes movies on the Time Capsule at my office and then use Back to My Mac to access the TC from my home and then play them via Apple TV. Does this sound possible? We have an iMac at the office that remains on 24/7 connected to the TC.
ATV cannot play movies from the TC, even if it is on your home network.. ATV is a streamer.. it is not a media player.. and the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. so it has nothing in it either.
You cannot play movies from ATV without itunes, which streams to the ATV.
If the iMac is running 24/7 then you should be able to connect to the iMac remotely and run from iTunes on that, which could then play movies stored on the TC.. with the following issues.. if you use wireless on the iMac forget it. The iMac has to be ethernet connected as it has to pick up the movie on the library and play it back to the TC to network to your home.
The next issues is speed of slowest connection.
Your download to your home maybe great.. what is the upload speed from your office like??
If you pay for uploads and downloads you will pay for the movie 3x.. first to download it.. second to upload it.. office to net.. and third to download it again.. net to home.. Sorry but it is better to play the movie directly from online itunes store.
If you plan to try and play non-itunes movies over the connection, it won't work.. ATV as stated is linked to itunes and cannot play movie files.
Overall this sounds like you need to think it out a bit more. -
Is it possible to add reverb to vocal mic, without affecting my keyboard sound?
Hello,
I am trying to record my vocals and piano simultaneously. I'm using the MBox 2, with Adobe Audition 3.0. Whenever I add reverb to my vocal track (via the fx tab under my vocal track in multi track view), it affects the way my piano sounds while I am recording (it creates a delay on the sound of the keyboard while I am playing...almost like a 'bouncing note' delay). I really want to be able to hear some reverb on my voice while recording, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it. This is how I have everything set up:
Piano is plugged in via DI on input 2 on the back of the mbox
vocal mic is plugged in via cannon on input 1 on back of mbox
If anybody could help, that would be wonderful. I've spent hours trying to figure this out with no luck. It is a lot more fun to record your singing with a bit of the pretty reverb....but my piano doesn't agree.
Thank you
Best,
Jenny JoHello Brian,
Thanks for your help again. I have spent the last 6 hours running into nothing but problems. I tried your advice about recording mono in both separate tracks, and still no luck. I was using a condenser mic, and a keyboard. Both using mono, and I was using the studio reverb. I finally decided to try something simpler, just so I could at least feel a bit satisfied in getting a recording in. I set the condenser mic near my keyboard and speakers, and plugged my keyboard into the speakers. I armed the one mic track for record for phantom power, applied studio reverb, and set up the correct settings for the track by going into Audio Hardware Setup and selecting 'Asio Digidesign Driver' as the audio driver for everything. I simply wanted to play my piano, which would sound through the monitors next to me, and sing into the microphone..which would pick up my vocals with the piano in the background. The only way I could hear reverb on my voice during the recording, was by adjusting the 'mix' knob on the front of the mbox. It seemed to be working okay, and I thought I had found at least a compromise for the moment. But after saving the files, and upon listening to them...I noticed drops and rises/glitches/ in the recording volume. I then did a bunch of tests. I recorded some without any reverb assigned at all, did some recordings with the mix knob up and some with it off...I tried everything I could think of. I saved each one as a wav file, and MP3, just to see if that would affect the sound. Listening to them, they all have those same sound glitches. While doing the recordings, the sound disturbances weren't audible.
I am wondering if there is a setting that I need to fix...I am not the most savvy technical person, and am rather new to recording. Maybe the buffer size needs to be adjusted? I really have no idea...it is frustrating. I should say that I am using an MBox 2, which is supposed to be used with Pro Tools software. I had problems using Pro Tools as well, I don't think my OS is very compatible with it. Unfortunately, I have windows Vista, which I hear nothing but problems about in regards to recording. I prefer to use Adobe Audition, as I'm familiar with it, and like it.
Well, I hope this email hasn't put you to sleep. I really hope I can get this figured out, as I'm keen to record.
Thank you again..
Best,
Jenny Jo

Subject: Is it possible to add reverb to vocal mic, without affecting my keyboard sound?
Out of some disbelief I had to try my own setup suggestion from above, since it's not a thing I do daily anymore. Without wanting to go into any dispute with the above poster, I can only say:
It works well here.
Your mileage may vary.
Setting up two mono tracks with a separate input to each, I was able to record vocals with reverb from Audition in my monitoring headphones, along with recording an electro-acoustic instrument (guitar in my case) on the adjacent track with no reverb at all. I sang/tested with lots of consonants and different monitor levels and reverbs; I used the Studio Reverb, which is the least CPU intensive and recommended in the manual. There was no noticable delay, echo, what have you, which I felt disturbed my precision at all. Now I KNOW technically there is a delay/latency, but for practical purposes it isn't noticable. I've also heard some singers are extremely pecky on this, and for them there is the solution of direct monitoring and an outboard reverb added to their headphone signal. For everyone else however it works well and the latency just a theory - certainly not an audible 'echo' of any kind. With a poor soundcard and a computer low on resources latency will become evident. Also if you don't use ASIO. This type of application is why we have ASIO.
