Microsoft Word Form Fields and Adobe Acrobat X

Using a Microsoft Word document where form fields are protected - if you save in Adobe Acrobat X - - you only see your changes - all the old data is lost.
Acrobat does not seem to have a solution.

You have the option to print the Word form and data to a PDF.
You have the option to use OOO.org, that export to PDF forms.
If you are talking about updating the content of the form and not the fields, create a new PDF under a different name and then replace the PDF page in the PDF.

Format Date Form Field in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Thanks in advance for your help. I have date fields in an Acrobat form. Is it possible to create a script to format a date as either MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY? In other words, if someone enters MM/DD/YYYY, the date would be accepted and MM/DD/YY would also be accepted. Thanks, again.

Since the time measurement is based on a sattilite revolving around another object in space, much of the concepts and measurements apply to rocket science. But I do not know if all rocket scientist woudl get it. Wasn't there a sattilite that mixed miles and kilometers within the navigation program with a suprising result.
One needs to get to a common unit and then just do the math.
Actually JavaScript does have an adjustment for the Date.getYear if the date object is established with the 4 digit year.
I had a recent issue at work. I work from the U.S and have to access data on a server in the UK using Remote Desktop and the remote deskto is configured for the UK date format unless the user changes it. In prior years the data was processed on servers in the U.S. with U.S. date format. There were many instances when the date and month were swithed and requires over a month to fix. Thank you Microsoft Certified Network Administrators.

Auto number form field for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard?

I'm creating an online form using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and need to know how create an automatic sequential system for each form.
For example, if a customer prints form 1 from the website, I need the next form to be tracked as form 2, and the next will automatically become 3, etc.
Is there a way to do this with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, or do I need Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
Thanks!

Neither will help with what you want. The web server would have to be responsible for generating a new number each time the file is served, and somehow modifying the document to include the number. The document could be set up to request a number from the server and returning it in a response, but it would still be something that's managed by the server. Both approaches require server-side programming.

Creating vertical text box form field in Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro

I'm very new to AAPro10. I've serched the forums and internet and couldn't find out how (or if it is possible) to do what I want to do.
I started with a premade pdf form with LOTS of potential form fields. I used the wizard to create a form. It did fairly well, but I'd like to replace a column of x number of boxes with a single form field that when i type into it, will orient the text vertically as the data will apply to all the rows in that column.
I've read things that say I can change the orientation of the form field in properties, but when i go to properties, none of the options (that I can find) allow it.
Thanks so much for the help.
Alexis

Thank you so much. I feel like such a dunce... it was staring me in the face for the last 3 hours.
Thanks again!

Help! Youcam, Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe Reader all not working in U310

Using a U310 ideapad with Windows 7 bought one year ago - warranty just expired of course!!
5 days ago I tried to pull up and excel spreadsheet from an e-mail and got an error message that there was not enough memory to do so.
Afterward, I tried to open word and it simply grayed out with a message box saying it was not working - it would try to fix the problem and then it just disappeared. The same thing continues to happen.
I tried to open a PDF with Adobe Reader and it, too, crashed. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, stopped it from coming up in protected mode and now it doesn't crash but I cannot edit any pdf with it and the tools box no longer works at all - a small circle spins in it for a couple of seconds, then fades to gray.
My youcam will not turn on at all - when I click on the youcam icon, the cursor spins for a couple of seconds,then returns to an arrow and the youcam doesn't come on.
So, after experiencing all these things, I figured I'd try the tried-and-true method of rebooting my laptop. When the laptop restarted, before allowing me to enter my password, the error message "verifyhost.exe - application error unable to start correctly Oxc000007b" came up. I x'd out of that, entered password, then 2 other errors came up "lenovoreg.exe" and SACpl.exe
After working on this for hours, I'm really at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any idea? It's unbelievable to me that this has happened on a new laptop that basically just sits on my desk - I don't travel with it and don't do much more than email and word processing on it! I have no games and very little else even downloaded!

Download this, install, update and try to scan your hdd for malware.

Font difference between MS WORD and Adobe Acrobat Pro

I am facing an issue with Font difference between the PDF's which are created through MS word "Save as PDF" utility and Adobe PDF maker add-on. Let me explain what my analysis detail.
1. Both MS word and Adobe acrobat using the font from the windows\fonts folder where my font Univers ATT font resides. I have confirmed this with the Acrobat distiller. below is the screenshot.
2. If I check the font properties through File->properties->Fonts tab both PDF font properties looks same.
Save as PDF
Adobe PDF
When comparing the PDF we are able to see the font formatting mismatch between these two PDF. Below screenshot.
Please advise me how to resolve the issue. The form should be match in formatting level also in order to proceed the implementation in my project.
Expecting your answer soon.

Thank you Bill.
Actually the difference not showing until we are selecting the Formatting option. The below screenshots illustrate the same.
Comparing two documents:
The difference not showing before selecting formatting.
Selecting the formatting option.
Once selected the formatting I am getting the formatting level difference between the PDF's. One is created with MS word SAVE AS PDF utility. The other PDF created with ADOBE PDFMAKER.
The comment pop-up clearly says in terms of font, fill color there should be difference. But I am not sure how Compare documents option comparing and showing the result. What all are the factors would be consider during comparison. Please help. Until resolving the issue I can't resume my project. Thanks in advance.

Acrobat Flattening Form Fields and Optimizing for Web

I'm trying to optimize a PDF for the web and flatten all the form fields. I also want to remove the purple dialogue box at the top when optimizing on the web. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've toiled around with it for some time and can't seem to figure it out. In the older version, I would simply save it as a file optimized for the web, which would then flatten all the form fields and remove the purple box at the top. Any help would be appreciated.

Your question really belongs in one of the Acrobat forums. I flatten form fields (use the pre-flight tool) and then save for the web.

Word and Adobe Acrobat clash

A recent Word Update renders my Adobe Acrobat useless for
file conversion. I get a "Missing PDFMaker Files" message. I
searched the Adobe site for a fix and followed the instructions to
go into Word/Help/About Word/Disabled Items. I enabled Adobe,
restarted word and then try to convert files. Same problem. I also
lowered the security in my word program to medium.
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Acroexch error in Word 2010 x64 with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5

Hello, i get this error when im trying to insert a PDF into a word doument.
In Adobe Reader X it was the Protect Mode but in Acrobat Standard in don't have this Option.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!

Dear David,
thanks for the Answers.
The Problem has our General Manager.
I will try to explain the Problem a little bit better.
Our General Manager had a Windwos 7 32bit with Word 32bit and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5. When he inserted a PDF with Drag & Drop in Word all works fine.
Since he have a Windws7 64bit with Word 64bit and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 he get a Acroexch error. I tried it on my Workstation and had the same error. Yesterday i tried it again on a Windws7 32bit with Word 32bit with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 and it worked.
If i try to insert the PDF as a Object it works on both Systems. I saw now that Adobe Acrobat is a 32bit Version. Is there a 64bit version for Adobe Acrobat 9.5?
Best regards

How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

I have a Application Form with many form fields and...

I need to edit some of the text. How do I do this without having to spend lots of time putting in the form fields again?

I am guessing you have put the form together in something like InDesign, made a PDF, done a lot of work with form fields over the top in Acrobat and now need to update the base artwork whilst retaining your Acrobat Edits?
The way to do this is make your base artwork edits and make a new PDF (with a different name), open your PDF with the added form fields and choose Document > Replace Pages, navigate to your new PDF and replace the pages.

Captions - Is there a way to add form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?

I lost LiveCycle in the CreativeCloud transition and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI? Or do I just need to create separate caption fields for each field? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...

I know. Is there a way to tie the caption to the field similar to LiveCycle?
Thanks for your help.

Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

Good day in2psy,
As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.
Kind regards,

Invisible form fields and conten6

I created a pdf form within Livecycle however on some occasions when a user fills in the form and emails it over the form fields and content are invisible but when you click on them they become visible. Once you click out of the field they become invisible again.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thank you

Hi,
I am fairly sure that your user(s) has a Mac and has used Apples PDF viewer (called Preview) to open and complete your form.
This will not work!!
Tell them to download the free Adobe Reader for Mac and to use that instead.
A search of the forums for "Preview" and "MAc" will bring up more info.
Good luck,
Niall
