Is there a way to create mutiple page forms in Acrobat that store 1 record per page?

Basically, I'm creating a form, that I would like to make notes on each page individually. I am running into an issue however, since the name of the fields are the same throughout the whole document. Is there a way for Acrobat to treat each page as an individual record, so I can track this data throughout the whole thing? Is my only alternative to resort to Javascript to change these names in acrobat? On the front end, I'm designing the form in InDesign, and then exporting to acrobat.

In Acrobat, a page can be made a template, which is really nothing more than a page that has been given a name. With JavaScript, you can spawn a template page to create a new one, and any fields a template page has can be automatically renamed when spawned (following a particular convention) so that each page's fields are independent from those on other pages. Note that JavaScript is not able to change a field's name, but it can create and remove fields.

  • Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

    Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
    I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
    It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

    It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email?

    Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email that was sent to me? I know that when a date is entered into an email I can create an event on my calendar for it, but is there a way I can have it be a reminder instead?
    Thank you

    Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
    Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
    *To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
    *If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
    *If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
    Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
    Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

  • I've lost my photos (crashed hdd, iPhoto library on Time Machine corrupt too).  Is there a way to create a picture from the thumbnail that remains in iPhoto?  The quality is obviously poor, but better than nothing.

    Time machine should have a good copy - how are you determining that it is corrupt
    If you want the thumbnails as photos right click on the iPhoto library and make a copy of the data folder and then import it into a new iPhoto library - it contains your thumbnails

  • Is there a way to create reusable HTML Forms that can be used on multiple pages?

    I'm trying to understand the recommended approach to managing 10 HTML forms that will be reused on many different pages.  I want to be able to modify the form definition once and have the change propogate.

    Is your requirement that authors be able to change the form definition, or should form definition be controlled by developers?
    In the case of authors being able to change the form definition then I would say best practice would be to create a page that holds the form definition (using whatever components work for you - either the out of the box form components or something custom). Then use the reference component to point the definition in all the other locations you want the form to appear. One thing to note is if you are using dispatcher for caching you need to make sure you strategy for cache flushing accomadates this approach.
    In the case of developers controlling the form definition you could crate a component for each form, and then simly drag that component onto the pages that require the form. In this case your would control all the form label and description elements in the localization file.

  • I like to manually create lists when I take notes, so is there a way to create a shortcut/hot key for different symbols in the Pages inspector?

    Not really a Pages user, but I am trying to make the switch from Word if I can figure out a few ways to customize Pages. I don't want to create a new paragraph style because I rearrange my lists a lot. I think there is a way to automatically create a custom list style, but I like to make lists manually because I frequently change things around. I would like to be able to manually add symbols. I know that Option + 8 will give me a bullet, but I would also like to use different symbols I found in inspector, like a black square and a black triangle. Anyone know if this is possible?

    If what you're looking for is a more flexible way of quickly just including any symbol of your preference when you're taking notes (without establishing a more structured list like picas suggestion) there are a number of ways to use keyboard shortcuts to get a variety of symbols. Here is a link that you can use to hopefully find what you're looking for:

  • Is there a way to create a calendar with a table that self fills in the dates?

    I am creating a calendar that recognizes a date entered into a numeric cell and then calculates the dates for the rest of the cells.

    24
    30
    31
    I put in 16th a tuesday then the table automatically will put in numbers associated up to #31, but I can correct if say there are only 30 days in the month, so the cell must be modifiable and I should be able to plug in any number in any cell and it will add 1 to the previous cell up to 31.

  • Is there a way to create a vertical menu for tablet that stays in place?

    I am a novice in web design, and I want to make a vertical menu for a tablet page that stays in place.
    It should not scroll, and  it has to resize depending on screen size, so it looks the same across different tablet sizes.
    Is this possible in Muse? After reading some posts I am getting the feeling this is not possible at all, is that really true?
    If it can't be done in Muse, can I do it another  way? In Dreamweaver for instance?
    The reason I want this is that in my opinion horizontal menu's for tablets are ergonomically bad design, and just plain annoying. You always have to use two hands, lift one hand and then you probably block the view of the screen.
    Vertical menu's for tablets just make more sense since they can be made so that you could place them on the side of the screen so it would be possible to navigate with the hand that is holding that side of the tablet.
    I hope someone can help me.

    Yes, I am using the widget.
    It seems it is not possible to make the menu stick in tablet design (the pin options are greyed out). Nor is it possible to make the menu scale with screen sizes.
    A possible solution would be the ability to make it stretch to 100% screen size, like you can with horizontal objects.
    I have noticed though, that, for some reason, in web design it is discouraged or very hard to make things stretch 100% vertically. It seems to cause problems, and I don't understand why.
    Since I have started in web design, I have seen many posts of people having design problems, where stretching 100% vertically would be the obvious solution.

  • Is there any way to create a mini Now Playing window that can "float?"

    Hi,
    I've been reading the Help in iTunes, as well as searching the Net, but I'm not finding the functionality I want. Basically, I want to have a mini Now Playing window that I can reposition so it's not covered up by other windows while I'm working. Is there a plugin that will do this, or is it a standard feature of iTunes, that I've overlooked?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I'm not sure what you're asking about. What "announcement" are you seeing? Is it possible you've installed a plugin of some sort? iTunes, on its own, doesn't announce what song is playing, except in its usual little gray window.
    You can get rid of the iTunes window entirely by clicking the red "close window" button in the upper left (or typing command-option-1). If you are still looking for an answer to your original question — creating a mini-player that floats on top of all other windows — click the green "minimize" button and select "Keep MiniPlayer on top of all other windows" in Preferences > Advanced.
    I don't know which Chris you're talking about.

  • Is there a way to create a link within a document that will pull text from the document and open it up in a separate text box within the document?

    I am trying to link sections of an form within a PDF back to instructions within the same PDF document.  Instead of having this jump back to the page within the document I would like for it to pull up the identified text within a separate pop-up text box on the same page where the form lives.  Is this possible?

    Hi gwebster,
    Instead of linking back to the instructions page, may be you can use tool tips or comments so that the instructions can be seen besides the text.

  • Is there a way to create favourites in a chm file that was converted from a WebHelp file?

    I am using RH 11. We generally output our help projects to WebHelp, but we still have a few .chm outputs.
    Marketing has provided us with a new branding for our Help projects. We implemented the new skin for the WebHelp and then applied this skin to the chm outputs.
    This works really well. The only issue is that in the new chm output, we no longer have access to the Favourites functionality.
    Does anyone know how to add this functionality or a workaround to create favourites in this new chm output?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Mack

    You would need to add favorites to the WebHelp output prior to creating a CHM. You would need something along the lines of: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/favorites-widget-webhelp
    But since it's in a CHM, I'm not sure whether you will be able to save anything from the webhelp output between sessions.
    Kind regards,
