Lose Jpeg images when editing an existing PDF Form in Acrobat X - All other edits update OK

Have just upgraded to Acrobat X and am having problems trying to update an existing PDF Form which includes jpeg images. After all edits are done and I save, previewing the PDF identifies that all of the existing jpeg images within the form no longer display. Unable to figure out what to do to retain these images from the existing PDF.

Hi,
Based on your other post, the original form was developed in LiveCycle Designer. Therefore you would need to edit the form in LC Designer, to reestablish the link to the image files.

Would like help editing an existing PDF form

I am attempting to edit an existing PDF form that has was created as a fillable form. One field needs to be edited. However, I was not the creator of the fillable form.

Hi Bud Zerge,
Unfortunately, we cannot edit a PDF form imported to FormsCentral even if it was created using FormsCentral.

HowTo/Best Practice: Fill existing PDF Form by Reports

Hi,
we have a pdf form which should be filled by Reports.
We don't want to build this form manually in Reports with all the fields and graphics.
Is there a way to transform an existing pdf form to rdf?
Can we use this pdf as background inside the rdf?
Does anybody has other ideas to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Florian.

Thanks, Rainer,
am I right? You are describing the BI-Publisher way... unfortunately customer has no BIP... :-(
There is just Oracle Reports.
The approach of Andreas (+"For using it as background, create an item out of the pdf and import it using Insert->Image"+) doesn't work for me because customer needs RTF output.
And there is a bug in RTF generation of Reports:
If you generate RTF output with images inside and you use MS Office 2003/2007 for viewing/editing then images are scaled to 133% :-(

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Issue when opening PDF forms in Acrobat X

First, pardon me if this is the incorrect forum for this post. I did not locate any general technical support board for Acrobat X but I could have missed it.
I have a user who has Adobe Acrobat X Standard (10.1.6) installed on his computer system. He is able to generate PDF files and open regular PDF files without issues. However, if he opens up any PDF which is a form, Acrobat immediately crashes. His computer is a Windows 7 Professional x64 system. Antivirus on the system is GFI Vipre Business.
Here is what I have tried:
Update Acrobat with the latest patches/updates.
Different Windows profile with administrator rights.
Removed Acrobat and reinstall through normal convential means.
Removed Acrobat via tool at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
Remove Acrobat and then do a manual clean of the registry and Windows Explorer.
Cleaned up fonts on the system. This might not have been done right but based on the error, perhaps you all can offer suggestions on if this error is related to font issues.
I would perform a system restore, but this user is unsure of when this issue started happening exactly. So, we'd be in the dark on this. The only thing that I can think I haven't tried is a wipe of the computer.
Here are the specific errors:
This error is received when trying to directly open a form PDF on the system:
Title: Font Capture: Acrobat.exe - Bad Image

Hi, I am having the same problem as your user when I try to open a pdf form in acrobat. I also have had a similar problem, still unresolved, described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5146964.
I can't find any solutions. I even tried uninstalling Acrobat X pro and instead gong back to installing Acrobat 9. Same problems persist. Don't know what to do.

Insert XML Data Into An Existing PDF Form

I am working on an application, written with XHTML and JavaScript, and running on AIR, so it is a desktop application.
Users enter data into an XHTML form and upon submission I create an XML file of the data using JavaScript.
At any later time users will be able to open the XML file from the application. I will use JavaScript, again, to read the XML and fill in an XHTML form. But at this point I will provide a button for users to generate a PDF with the data. I would then like to insert the XML data into the appropriate fields of the existing PDF form. I would like to continue to do this from within the AIR application using JavaScript.
Is this possible?
What version of Acrobat would I need as the developer? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
What version of Acrobat would the end users need? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
Can this all be done using only JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK? Does using AIR offer any help (all Adobe products)?
When the end user clicks the generate PDF button would Acrobat have to open? Can this be done without the user seeing Acrobat open? Either way is ok, I would just like the user to see an alert saying that the file has be generated and point them to its location on the local machine. But again, this is not a requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Not asking for source code here, just if its possible. :)
I'll figure out the how.

You have two choices
1) You can use JavaScript in your AIR application to communicate with the JavaScript in the PDF to fill in the form directly. This can all be done inside of your AIR app. This is certainly the best route to go and there is (IIRC) a sample in the AIR SDK.
2) You can create an XFDF file from your XML data and then have Acrobat/Reader open the XFDF file to fill in the data.
Both methods will work with Acrobat and Reader - HOWEVER, Reader users won't be able to save the PDF unless it has been Reader Enabled.

How to add ability to insert Annotations via Reader to an existing PDF form

I have an existing PDF form created in LiveCycle ES2/Acrobat X, with fillable text boxes and all that stuff. I want to add the ability for Reader users to insert items from the Annotations menu, but can't seem to figure out how to add that permission. When I look at the Document Restrictions Summary in the PDF properties, it has "Commenting: Not Allowed".
So how can I keep the existing form working as is, but add the ability for anyone to insert Annotations through Reader?

Converting PDF forms from Acrobat to reader, Images won't upload?

Hello,
I've created an editable PDF form in Acrobat and saved it so that the document can be populated in Reader and saved. Only problem is that the functionality to upload an image is not working, you click on it in Reader and nothing happens? I understand that LiveCycle Designer is the one to use, but it only works on Windows, I'm a Mac. Is there a way of saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro so that both the editable text fields and image upload functionality work in Reader?
Thanks

How to calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF Form in A. Reader

Hello,
I need to know some way for calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF form using JavaScript, hereby:
b ******************************************************************
i var service_url = http://some_webservice/;
i var send_type = "PDF";
i var doc = event.target;
i doc.submitForm( { cURL: service_url, cSubmitAs: send_type } );
b ******************************************************************
b The reason:
I need to indicate the percentage of bytes sent to the server, in real time. Adobe Acrobat shows a progress bar and the transferred quantity in bytes, but Adobe Reader doesn't. Is in this case, when I need to find a way in order to make something similar.
b Than you for your time.

You can use SharePoint Designer and calculate the total in xslt view. Refer to the following post for more information

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

When filling out a PDF form and reopening it is blank

When I fill out a form using Acrobat XI pro and then save it with the same name or a different name and try to reopen it, it is blank. I can us the quick print feature and it will actually print out the information I thought I saved. But if I open it again it shows blank. Any ideas?

RebeccaFlameLily,
This problem occurs when the Preview application on a Mac is used to fill-in the forms. It is well known the Preview corrupts PDFs in a number of ways and it should be absolutely avoided when using PDF forms. The damage it does to a document cannot be repaired, but you can open the corrupted form in Acrobat, export the form data (to an FDF or XFDF file), and import it back into a blank form. Then inform your users to use Adobe Reader and not Preview.

Merge data to existing PDF form?

Been searching for this for awhile and cant seem to get an
example that works. I have an existing PDF form with fields
defined. What I need to do is populate this form with data from an
existing query. I've seen examples saying that I need to export the
FDF and use it in CF, but for the life of me, I cant find how to
export it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
-Ron

There's a better way than using FDF's now that CF runs off of
java. I remember reading on Ben Forta's site about a neat CF
wrapper he wrote for using java objects to write to form fields on
PDFs. sounds like they're bundling it into the next CF version. I
wish I had a url for you, but I'm sure a few searches on ben's site
should turn something up.
P.S. its WAY easier to deal with than the FDF file format!!
Hope that helps.

How do I input data to a pdf form in Acrobat 8.1.6?

There's probably a simple solution for this but I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to input data to a pdf form using Acrobat 8.1.6, or how I can make the pdf file data field input ready? Thanks.

If you created the form Go back to Acroabt and go to advanced menu and choose:
Extend Features in Reader. then save.
Now open Reader and you can add information and save. (limit 500 instances per pdf).
Now if you created the form and have Acrobat make sure Acrobat in not in Forms Edit Mode.
Just type in your information and save.
Caution make sure that you finished all corrections and edits. because once you confer reader right you can not edit the form. you can edit the form items you fill in, but not the form itself.
to correct the form design you have to go back to advanced reader rights and save a copy without rights. make changes then confer rights again.
