Merging a PDF with a Form

I have a form that was created in Adobe Live Design that I would like to add the the end of an existing PDF. I would like to think that you can add a fillable form to a regular PDF, but it doesn't seem to be allowing me to do so becuase it's in an XML format. Is there a way around this?

You will likely have to do the combination in Designer or possibly use portfolios. You can not edit Designer forms in Acrobat. The alternative would have been to create the form in Acrobat and not Designer.

  • PDF with XFA forms to excel or word?

    I am trying to convert pdfs with XFA forms in them to an excell document but get an error message stating that documents with XFA forms cannot be converted into this format. Any way around this? Any way to remove XFA forms? Im pretty lost.

    If you removed the XFA forms there would be nothing left. XFA forms are a complete replacement for normal PDF - a different kind of form, pretending to be a PDF. There's very little you can do with them, except fill them in, or export form data. Maybe print-to-PDF?
    Beware if these are official/government forms. Converting them will usually leave them invalid and your application unacceptable.

  • Can't export a PDF with XFA form

    Cannot convert/export a PDF document containing an SFA form - can this program not do this?

    Hi Morin27,
    XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
    To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
    Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

  • Merging a PDF with bookmark  as a child of a bookmark node

    I have already developed a plugin that merges several PDF's and generates bookmarks
    But there is one issue
    If a PDF already has bookmarks, I dont see the bookmarks inserted after that pdf file, instead they appear as a sibling of the root.
    I have tried using
    PDDocInsertPages(pdDoc1,PDLastPage ,pdDoc2, 0, PDAllPages ,PDInsertBookmarks, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);.
    This is probably causing the bookmarks to show up as siblings of the root
    as well as
    PDDocInsertPages(pdDoc1,PDLastPage ,pdDoc2, 0, PDAllPages ,PDInsertAll, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
    Any suggestions as to how to add a PDF file with bookmarks as a child of an existing bookmark , so that all the bookmarks of this PDF file will be children of the node under which this file is added
    Also i need to know, if by doing this will it preserve the bookmark actions of the PDF file will be preserved
    Thanks

    > Also i need to know, if by doing this will it preserve the bookmark actions of the PDF file will be preserved
    If the bookmark action is to go to a specific page, no it will not be preserved as the page numbers will be different once the documents are merged (except for the first document in the merge).
    If the bookmarks used named destinations then yes, they will be preserved (assuming you don't have the same named destination in more than 1 file being merged).

  • Merging GoogleDocs PDF with company stationary PDF

    As we are now working "in the Cloud" with Adobe and Google we are trying to figure out a solution to get our documents from Google Docs to a PDF with our company stationary look included. As Google Docs doesn't offer a solution we simply save the document to a PDF and merge it in Adobe Acrobat X with our company stationary artwork. Unfortunately it doesn't work, probably because Google Docs creates PDF with a transparant layer. Does Adobe provide printer plugins voor Google Cloud Printing through which we would be able to print PDF files with a transparant layer.

    Hi Mike,
    You can use Acrobat to create/ edit the layers in the pdf.

  • A pdf with two forms to be saved out separately...

    I have a request from my customers to create a single PDF (price list) that also includes two separate forms. They want to be able to fill out each form within the single price list PDF document, but save each of the forms out separately from each other and from the price list.
    I am guessing there is a way to write it in flash, but I am not familiar enough to do this. Anyone know if Acrobat can do this and how? Thanks -

    But there is a way to save the form and data when the PDF has been set with "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader...".
    With this in mind, is the answer still "No" that you cannot have the scenario I have been requested to provide. Is that really considered a page extraction?
    Sorry to press the issue... I just want to make sure I have the absolute right answer for the customers request.

  • Saving PDF with Form

    I've got a PDF with several form fields, if I fill them out and save the PDF, all of the fields go blank again. I have access to Acrobat Pro on another computer so I can tell that this PDF has no protections enabled, what's wrong?

    Adobe Reader does not allow saving filled-in forms, either with Save, or Print to PDF. Some forms don't fill properly with Preview (at least they didn't in Tiger), and Preview doesn't have many features (such as field descriptors), so Adobe Reader is sometimes the only option. The virtual printer lets you save filled-in form with Adobe Reader. If the form works with Preview, then the built-in Print to PDF can be used.

  • Merging pdfs with internal links

    I have merged 2 pdfs with internal links. After they were merged the bookmarks work but the links in the text do not. Any help on this?

    Hi NovaRbt,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and OS are you using.
    How have you merged the two PDFs?
    Are those links opening perfectly in the individual PDFs?
    Please let me know.

  • XDP - open PDF with #toolbar=0 problem in IE

    Hi
    When opening PDF's using a correctly constructed XDP I specify at the end:
    <pdf href="some.pdf" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
    Everything works correctly in all browsers.
    I would like to hide the toolbars so when I change the href to:
    <pdf href="some.pdf#toolbar=0" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
    the PDF opens but in IE the XDP data doesn't merge however, it works as expected in other browsers (data merge and toolbar hidden)
    Has anyone else come accross this or know of a fix or workaround?
    Thanks for looking.
    Andy

    Since your posting the XDP data to a PDF, you can merge the XDP + LC PDF using 3rd party tools, send the merged PDF to buffer (data is presented), and then pass the querystring parameter to the merged PDF.
    Example URL:
    http://www.url.com/mergeXDP.aspx#toolbars=0
    If you are using ASP.net web servers:
    Check out www.fdftoolkit.net
    Web Examples:
    www.nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/examples/
    If you are using Java enabled non-MS servers, check out iText.
    iText can merge XML/XDP with LC forms.
    For more information Google "iText merge XDP XFA", or buy the book or e-book "iText in Action Second Edition".

  • Problems with creating forms in Acrobat Pro 9

    I like (sort of) the new style for creating forms. However; execution leave much to be desired.
    I spent 6 hours yesterday adding about 20 (a mix of Text and check boxes) boxes to one page on a two page pdf. about every 2 minutes or so I would have a crash.
    Using OSX4.11 on a 1.67 GB PowerBook (powerpc) 17" Laptop (system Ram is 2 GB). I made the mistake of instead of buying the CD package from Adobe opted to download from Adobe (on a 1 MB DSL line) took a couple of hours to download) I created a DVD installer disk. But anyway after a certain point the program asked for system password and did a reinstall/repair. Still didn't help.
    In previous versions there was a way to adjust memory Cache there is none in this version. usually I had to set to 1000 just to keep Acrobat from Crashing, looking at a PDF. Now there is no way to set.
    keeps on I am going to have to decompress acrobat 8 so I can do forms.

    No Haxies. I decompressed my back up of Acrobat 8 and used a original copy of the PDF to create the forms. Acrobat didn't have the first hiccup. took all of 15 minutes.
    I tried to do the same on Acrobat 9, after I used AppleJack to dump all my cache files. same results about ever 2-1/2 - 3 minutes Crash City.
    If you want to look at the original PDF with no form text and check boxes. I can send to you. its only page two I'm interested in.

  • Can I add a simple PDF to the forms site?

    I am looking to add a simple pdf - with no form content to my website and use my forms account to do so.  Is that possible?  I tried importing a pdf, but it needs editable content.  Thank you for any help.

    Hello Nancy,
    1. You can embed the form in your website as a widget.
    Go to "Distribute" Tab -> then look out for script under "Embed Form".
    2. You can also save your Formscentral form as a PDF form and then host the PDF separately and give its link in your website.

  • Merging pdfs with ability to edit a form

    When I merge two pdfs in Acrobat 8 then reopen them in Reader (which is the only software my client has to view/edit pdfs) I can no longer save the data typed into the forms--I can print the document as is with the information, but the pdf form needs to be filled out by a couple people. Does anyone know of a way I can merge two pdfs and still retain the ability to edit the form?

    Can't save edits. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back in to enable reader rights (it's a client who would actually have to do it), but that's okay. Thanks for your help.

  • How to merge PDF/Word Doc with the Form I created?

    Hi All,
    Which software should I use to merger PDF/Word Doc with the form I created.
    One more question is I want the form page to show up right next to the ending or in the middle of the word doc . How to manange the placement of the sections?
    Please do let me know, its urgent.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hari.

    1) The option of creating the whole thing as a LiveCycle form means that you need to convert the Word document using LiveCycle Designer. The import utility won't preserve the fidelity of the Word document the way printing to the PDF print driver does. It will likely require a fair bit of tweaking in Designer to get it looking like you want. You will likely get frustrated, since Designer is not a word processor.
    2) You can create PDF forms in Acrobat without launching LiveCycle Designer. While they look the same to a user as forms created with LiveCycle Designer, behind the scenes they are very different. When you create a form in Acrobat you overlay fields on top of an existing PDF document that you had previously created using the PDF print driver. There is an extensive scripting model for these "Acroforms". The technology pre-dates LiveCycle yet Adobe continues to improve the two forms models in parallel. In Acrobat, open a PDF and select tools-->forms-->show forms toolbar.
    3) I recommend this option if it's feasible. I don't know what you mean by "doesn't show up in a flow". If you're going to use the form in Acrobat 7, then save it as Acrobat 7 compatible in LiveCycle Designer. This is one of the options in the Save As dialog of LiveCycle Designer.

  • Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

    So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
    I have two major issues:
    1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
    2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
    UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
    I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
    PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

    Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
    In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.
