Is there a way to rename PDF form fields without worrying about having all the right fonts?

I'm trying to merge data into an IRS form... for some reason, they duplicated the names for a few fields which causes a problem with merging.
I've installed Acrobat X and tried to edit the form in LiveCycle, but I don't have all the fonts, so I can't do it correctly without altering the IRS form.
Can someone point to a right tool to do a simple rename of a few form field names?
Thanks in advance!

The field names don't have anything to do with fonts, but you might be better off asking in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Is there a way to rename multiple form field names with a "b" at the end?

I have a two page form, both are identical. I need to rename all the field names on page 2 with a "b" at the end of the file name so they dont conflict with that of the first page. Is there any fast way of doing this without renaming each individual one at at time? I have a LOT to do!

It's not possible with JavaScript. The name property of a field is read-only.
I would suggest making a template from the first page and then spawn a new page from it.
If you do it from a script make sure you set the bRename property to true and the form fields will be automatically renamed, but you can't specify the name, it will be in following pattern:
P<Page Number>.<Template Name>.<Original Field Name>

I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?

You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
I do this often.
But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM.

Is there a way to create entry form/fields in Numbers.

Can anyone let me know if there's a way to create an entry form/field in Numbers. The idea would be to have already created a list of contacts, then at an event on an iPad, people can check off if that person is there and also enter new contact info. Thanks in advance.

Isnt this just a table? A list of people, with a check box field in the second column, followed by a few columns for contact info to be entered in?

Is there a way to BULK COLLECT with FOR UPDATE and not lock ALL the rows?

Currently, we fetch a cursor on a few million rows using BULK COLLECT.
In a FORALL loop, we update the rows.
What is happening now, is that we run this procedure at the same time, and there is another session running a MERGE statement on the same table, and a DEADLOCK is created between them.
I'd like to add to the cursor the FOR UPDATE clause, but from what i've read,
it seems that this will cause ALL the rows in the cursor to become locked.
This is a problem, as the other session is running MERGE statements on the table every few seconds, and I don't want it to fail with ORA-0054 (resource busy).
What I would like to know is if there is a way, that only the rows in the
current bulk will be locked, and all the other rows will be free for updates.
To reproduce this problem:
1. Create test table:
create table TEST_TAB
ID1 VARCHAR2(20),
ID2 VARCHAR2(30),
LAST_MODIFIED DATE
2. Add rows to test table:
insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
values ('416208000770698', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:14:56', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
values ('208104922058401', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:11:15', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
values ('208104000385349', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:15:13', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
3. Create test procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC IS
TYPE id1_typ is table of TEST_TAB.ID1%TYPE;
TYPE id2_typ is table of TEST_TAB.ID2%TYPE;
id1_arr id1_typ;
id2_arr id2_typ;
CURSOR My_Crs IS
SELECT ID1, ID2
FROM TEST_TAB
WHERE ID2 = '336015000385349'
FOR UPDATE;
BEGIN
OPEN My_Crs;
LOOP
FETCH My_Crs bulk collect
INTO id1_arr, id2_arr LIMIT 1;
Forall i in 1 .. id1_arr.COUNT
UPDATE TEST_TAB
SET LAST_MODIFIED = SYSDATE
where ID2 = id2_arr(i)
and ID1 = id1_arr(i);
dbms_lock.sleep(15);
EXIT WHEN My_Crs%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
CLOSE My_Crs;
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,
'Test Update ' || SQLCODE || ' ' || SQLERRM);
END TEST_PROC;
4. Create another procedure to check if table rows are locked:
create or replace procedure check_record_locked(p_id in TEST_TAB.ID1%type) is
cursor c is
select 'dummy'
from TEST_TAB
WHERE ID2 = '336015000385349'
and ID1 = p_id
for update nowait;
e_resource_busy exception;
pragma exception_init(e_resource_busy, -54);
begin
open c;
close c;
dbms_output.put_line('Record ' || to_char(p_id) || ' is not locked.');
rollback;
exception
when e_resource_busy then
dbms_output.put_line('Record ' || to_char(p_id) || ' is locked.');
end check_record_locked;
5. in one session, run the procedure TEST_PROC.
6. While it's running, in another session, run this block:
begin
check_record_locked('208104922058401');
check_record_locked('416208000770698');
check_record_locked('208104000385349');
end;
7. you will see that all records are identified as locked.
Is there a way that only 1 row will be locked, and the other 2 will be unlocked?
Thanks,
Yoni.

I don't have database access on weekends (look at it as a template)
suppose you
create table help_iot
(bucket number,
id1    varchar2(20),
constraint help_iot_pk primary key (bucket,id1)
organization index;not very sure about the create table syntax above.
declare
maximal_bucket number := 10000; -- will update few hundred rows at a time if you must update few million rows
the_sysdate date := sysdate;
begin
truncate table help_iot;
insert into help_iot
select ntile(maximal_bucket) over (order by id1) bucket,id1
    from test_tab
   where id2 = '336015000385349';
for i in 1 .. maximal_bucket
loop
    select id1,id2,last_modified
      from test_tab
     where id2 = '336015000385349'
       and id1 in (select id1
                     from help_iot
                    where bucket = i
       for update of last_modified;
    update test_tab
       set last_modified = the_sysdate
     where id2 = '336015000385349'
       and id1 in (select id1
                     from help_iot
                    where bucket = i
    commit;
    dbms_lock.sleep(15);
end loop;
end;Regards

introduced the_sysdate if last_modified must be the same for all updated rows

Is there a way to close a pinned tab without unpinning it or closing the browser completely?

when i have one of my pinned tabs opened and i open a new tab, i cant find a way to close the pinned tab without closing the browser completly.

You can also middle-click a tab to close that tab and that also works for pinned tabs.

In Acrobat, is there a way to have a form field use small caps in place of lower-case text?

I found java script online that will force a field to be all caps (using it in the format tab > custom format script). But I have not been able to find anything to change the lowercase text to small caps. Anyone know how to do that (or if it just can't be done in Acrobat)?

But if you use a "small CAPs" font, you need to be sure the font is fully embedded in the PDF. If not, it is likely that users will not be able to use your form.

In Pages, is there a way to reduce a document's page size, and have all the elements scale down to the new size?

I have a 24" x 36" poster I created in Pages which has some graphic design elements, text boxes and photos. I want to make an 11" x 17" version of it. Almost exactly the same, with minor revisions. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks!

Print as PDF and take it to your local Copy shop.
(But I don't know why you put this in the GarageBand forum.)

TS1347 My college cancelled my outlook/exchange email account because I graduated. Turns out all my contacts were saved to outlook and I didn't know, is there a way I can get them back without being able to restore the email account?

Because I graduated, IT support at my college deactivated my email account with outlook/exchange. I wasn't aware, but all my contacts were saved to that account and now they are gone. I have tried to contact my college to see if they can restore it and they haven't responded so I am wondering if there is a way to get them back without having the exchange email account restored. I have looked on iCloud and there are nowhere near as many contacts as I should have saved there. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

If you do not have the contacts accessible on a computer, iOS device or service like iCloud then they are gone unless you can get them from your school's IT department.

PDF Form Field calculates AVERAGE incorrectly

I have a PDF Form field that is set to calculate the AVERAGE of 4 other fields. Each of those other fields has its validation set to allow only the values 1 through 3.
The Average field is dividing the total by 4 even if a person only fills out 2 of the fields. I thought AVERAGE would only count the fields that have a value in them. But it's seeing the ones that are blank as containing a 0, even though that is an invalid value for that field.
How can I fix this? The customer really wants the option of having up to 4 fields and wants an average of just the ones that are filled in. I thought that was what Average was supposed to do.
Is there a way to tell Acrobat to ignore the fields if their value is less than 1?

I responded to this question here: http://answers.acrobatusers.com/PDF-Form-Field-calculates-AVERAGE-incorrectly-q13211.aspx

Is there any way to unlock your ipod touch without doing a reset?

Is there any part of a PDF Form that is ignored when digitally signing?

I'm building a simplified workflow process using PDF forms. Users would add a Submit button to a form that posted to an internal web service, which would add the forms to an internal document system for further processing.
Part of the process involves subsequent users in the workflow opening the forms and adding additional signatures, then submitted them back into the system.
I'm trying to find a way to identify PDF forms that have already been submitted vs. new forms that have not been seen before. I'd like to add an internal identifier (flag, ID value, something) to the PDF the first time we see it. But, I need to make sure not to invalidate the existing signatures. I don't want to change any of the form fields, or the visual content, or any other user-facing aspect of the PDF itself; I'm looking more for, say, a custom property, or new keyword, or something.
Is there any portion of a PDF that does not get considered as "part" of the form when applying and validating the digital signatures?

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to create pdf files offline?

Is there a way to create pdf files offline?

Certainly, that's what Acrobat does. (But not Adobe's PDF Pack).
Note that you will need an internet connection to install Acrobat and (so far as I know) every month to check your license. So it's no use if you will be off net.

Is there a way to rename all photos in a folder?

Is there a fast way to rename all the photos in one folder e.g. I have diffreent folders say "wedding" and "birthday" with alot of photos in each. Is there a way to rename all photos in the folder to the same name like all called wedding?
Also when i open photos they automatically open with preview, do I need to impost them into iPhoto or should they just automatically save there?
Tracy

Tracy
Are these photos in iPhoto? If so, then use the Photos -> Batch Change command.
IF not then you can use a batch file renamer such as Name Mangler
iPhoto is a database and can only show pics that have been imported to the DB.

Is there a way to open PDF's in InDesign?

Is there a way to open PDF's in InDesign?

You can PLACE a PDF as you would an image file, but it will not be editable inside ID.
There's a plugin, I think from Recosoft, called PDF2ID that will allow you to open a PDF file as native objects in ID, but your mileage may vary as to how usable the file will be.
