Optimize a PDF doc with form fields

Hi All,
I have completed a PDF with multiple form fields (about 70). It's only one 8.5 x 11 page. It is 2.2 mB large. I've tried different ways of Optimizer but it always removes the input field functionality.
How can I decrease file size while maintaining the integrity of the form? Thank you so much in advance. PDF attached.
Dina

Generally, the only thing that I remove after creating a pdf file with forms that doesn't effect the fields is to remove embedded fonts. It would be best to to all of the other optimizations before creating the form fields.
That's nice you say, but I've got the form fields already. Try reducing the size (as you have already done), then replace the page in the file with the form fields with the one whose size you have reduced. The form fields should stay. I don't know what happens to the size of the new file, let us know?

  • Getting Runtime error while including pdf doc with Form guides.

    Hi,
    I have urgent requirement where  I have to capture  the data  in the PDF doc   what user enters into the  form Guides.
    I am trying this on ES2.
    I followed the steps what  they  mentioned at ::  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm - >>Creating  Guides using LiveCycle  Workbench ES2 ->  Including the PDF doc with a document.

  • Link/RE-link to word docs with form fields?

    Trying something new, and when I took the InDesign 2 day class the instructor was not very familiar with linking to word docs, she just never used the feature.
    So, I have multiple contributors who will onlly work in word. I am trying to set up a template/form for them to fill in that I can link to my .indt.
    I have the styles set up and matching, and I'm looking for a way that I can lock everything but the areas where they need to fill in information. My plan is to do this by making a form in Word with text fields. Will this transfer over to the InDesign file when I relink? If not what is an alternative solution using Word with out having to copy and past all the time ?

    Ohhh k.
    OK Yes this is possible.
    I do mean for it to link, the content is dynamic I need the technical people to be able to edit content before I get it. The point is to have multiple contributors working in word (absolutely must be word), creating new content that can be fed into indesign relatively automatically while preserving the InDesigns styles applied to certain text frames.
    It does need to link back to get content updates so I have this option turned on in the general preferences to allow this.
    The word documet is set up, as follows:
    Form fields are created, along with their respective titles or headings. A style/structure element is applied. The style doesn't have to match what is in indesign but it is helpful.
    Click the text box and got to "Place"
    Select the document and select the "Show Import Options"
    Under import options select "Preserve Styles and formatting..." Then Select the "Customize Style Import" radial and click style mapping. I tried doesn't this with the Automatic Import and it didn't work properly, custom mapping will identify the right information to style while overiding the actual style information from Word and instead uses the InDesign Style.
    So... not necessarily a job for InCopy, though I realize that would be better, working in for a Microsoft Partner Network Gold Certified Partner, it would be impossible to get everyone to switch over to InCopy.

  • Combining various PDF files with forms fields: How To?

    Hi people.
    I have a problem with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and some PDFs.
    Each file has a lot of form fields and they has the same name. When I try to combine allowed files in acrobat, the "combinator" throw a message adverting me that the fields are the same and will have the same content. The only posibility is to create a "PDF Folder". But I need to distribute a simple PDF file compatible with Acrobat Reader (and the most usual issue is ... Acrobat Reader 6). So...
    Is there any possibility to create a single file from a PDF folder?
    Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much for your quickly answer but... if this is the only way... then I have a very very very serious problem.
    I have 45 PDF individual files (with two pages each one) and I need to generate a single file with my 45 files (90 pages). Each file has more than 30 fields...
    What should I do?
    Thanks!

  • Publicly sharing PDF's with form fields, tags and bookmars.

    I'm looking to be able to share a PDF document so that my coworkers are able to acces this document. I'm very aware of various ways to share the PDF, via email or Google Docs, but I need some sort of hosting that will support form fields, tags and bookmarks. It would be very beneficial if everyone would be able to access the PDF after 'sharing' and viewing on a URL. But, I really need them to be able to search and navigate easily through the bookmarks and buttons. We need this shared via internet because sharing the PDF document itself to each individual employe's computer, runs the risk of slowing computers down. Is there anything I can use, some sort of hosting site or program similar to Google Docs that will support these features?

    Note The Adobe PDFviewer requires that users to use Safari or Webkit based Browsers only.
    All gecko based browsers will not work. Adobe made conscious decision when OSX came out Not support gecko based browsers.
    So if you have any of the following Gecko based Browsers you have to use another plugin.
    SeaMonkey (equivelent to the Communicator All-in-one)
    FireFox
    Camino
    OmniWeb
    Opera and others.
    You have to use a Plugin from a fellow named Schubert of Germany, called PDFBrowser Plugin
    It supports all Browsers except Internet Explorer. Makes no difference whether gecko or webkit based. The plugin author is banned by Adobe from putting in forms support.
    And using Apple's Preview will absolute corrupt a PDF Form making it unusable if opened in Reader or Acrobat after being viewed and saved in Preview.

  • I/O error opening a pdf file with form fields, using itextsharp

    Hi,
    I'm using itextsharp PDFStamper to set the form fields in a pdf file. It works on my computer properly, but on the QA site and other developer's machine it only shows the values of the form fields, the original text does not show, and it gives the error message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly". Please does any one know what's causing this error and how to fix it?.
    Thanks,
    Uyi

    I recommend you try tech support for the iTextSharp product (I believe
    there is a mailing list). This forum is for questions about
    understanding the PDF Specifications. You could try an Acrobat forum,
    but I think the first option has a better chance of success.

  • Optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro

    I have always been able to optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro until now.  It gives me the following error.  Runtime error, This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the applications support team for more information.  I just need to make it smaller as there is a cap on the senders end that I am sending it to.  I have also tried the reduce pdf and get the same reply.  [email protected]

    PDF's with forms can only be optimized with a SAVE AS and the option set to "Save File For Fast Webviewing".
    Be sure that option is set and just do a save as and then rename the file back to your original.

  • Name the PDF file with a field name

    Hi,
    I'm new to ES2 and Form creation in LiveCycle, my knowledge in scripts is very less or none i can say, if any one out there could help me out with this i'd be greateful.
    I have created a fillable PDF Form using LivecCycle ES2 and would like to know how to name the PDF file with a field value from the form when " save form " or " submit " button are clicked.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mithun.M.I

    You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
    You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
    Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

  • I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill u

    I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box.  Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

    Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?

  • My PDFs with form fields get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." on anothers computer, PC and MAC

    Im creating PDFs through InDesign and using Acrobat Pro 9 to add fields.  I save them to allow ADobe Reader people to use them.  Everything works fine on Pro and Reader on my end with a PC as well as someone elses PC.  But one person using Mac said some forms work and some dont.  Those that dont get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  Ive resaved them and made sure they work and same problem.  There is nothing overly coplex about the PDFs either, a date field at the most.  They are using Reader 9.1.
    I found out the other day that one person who can open them adds info to them saves them and send over to that other person and cannot open any of them after they have been edited, same error.  He even tried on a PC and still gets it.
    I dont know what to do.  I know it has to be on his end and not mine.  What else can I suggest to him??

    It sounds like they are using an earlier version of Acrobat or Reader, though you said Reader 9.1. If you add some features in AA9 that are new, it appears that earlier versions see the new features as damaged files. At least that is my guess. Try using Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save to an earlier version and see if that helps. The other option is that you are getting them messed up in e-mail because many client look at PDF files as ascii and do not encrypt them. In that case force the encryption. You can also send them in ZIP form.

  • Converting a Word document with form fields to become a form fillable PDF file with email

    We are trying to convert a number of word(97,and 2000) documents but it never works correctly. The converted PDF file is missing fields and the fields it does convert is one character long. The idea was to have LiveCycle just convert it without anyone having the need to re-design it. They would only need to add a submit button and an email address to the PDF form. Is there something we are missing?

    For the problem of submitting by email and still submitting a PDF file:
    The stock "Submit by Email" button submits via XML. I think you can do one of two things to get it to work:
    1) Use a regular "Button" instead of an "Email Submit Button". Set it's type to "Submit" in the Field tab; then on the Submit tab, use something like "mailto:name@company" for your email address in the Submit To URL box, and set the Submit As type to PDF.
    2) Change the XML for your Email Submit button (in the XML Source view): You'll find something like,
    <event name="event__click" activity="click">
    <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:name@company"/>
    </event>
    Change it to:
    <event activity="click" name="event__click">
    <submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" target="mailto:name@company"/>
    </event>
    I don't know if you need to change just the "Submit format" in the XML, or also add the xdpContent tag.
    Hope that works,
    Mike

  • PDF with form fields & restricted permissions

    I have a PDF file that is an illustrated monthly calendar. It was designed in Xara Designer, saved as a PDF through PrimoPDF and then brought into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 were text fields were added.  Additionally, the permissions on the PDF have been restricted (password security) so that no one can import the file into Illustrator, Photoshop (or the like). I need to prevent people from extracting or altering the illustrations.
    Here's the issue...
    I sell these calendars in digital format and PC/windows users have no problem adding text to the form fields using Adobe Reader.  Even desktop Mac users can do it using Adobe Reader for Mac.
    HOWEVER, the text fields do not work on Adobe Reader for iPad!  The calendar pdf file opens, you can actually SEE the text fields (blueish color), but you can't click in a text box and start typing.
    I've done some testing and when the PDF file does not have permissions restricted it works just fine.
    But I must have permissions restricted to protect the integrity and copyright of my illustrations, while still allowing users the ability to add typed text into the preformatted text boxes on the calendar.
    Any workaround? Any ideas why it doesn't work on iPad??

    Currently, Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't support form filling in any protected documents.

  • Pdf files lack form field contents :(

    I'm a house call veterinarian, and all of my patients' medical records are in pdf files. I'd LOVE to be able to reference these records when I am driving around town, without having to lug around the laptop.
    I've found some great apps to transfer & view pdf's on the iPhone (FileMagnet & Felaur PDF are outstanding!) The trouble is that none of them can display my patients' data, which is contained in form fields. I don't want to edit anything in these fields, I just want to read it.
    Why is this feature missing? It would be so cool!

    Ok; so I will start adding usage rights to my forms and using the
    script, which hopefully will help.  I'll also add in the completion
    instructions that the user should (preferably) complete and save the
    form using Adobe Reader (;)opposite of what I've been saying) or Adobe
    Acrobat Professional.  And, if they open the form through the "Preview"
    application there may be problems with their and our ability to view
    and/or print the completed form. 
    On my end, with the script, I still should be able to see and print the
    form.
    Now, here is the message I received from one user which seems to add
    more confusion:
    "I have definitely found something weird....When the files are opened
    using either "Preview" or "Adobe acrobat Professional" they are both
    open and complete as seen on the screen, but when I try to print them,
    the forms will only print when I open them with Preview.  They are
    completely blank (apart from the forms themselves) when opened with
    Acrobat (despite me being able to see the completed form, which includes
    everything that I typed into the form, on the screen)."
    This is a huge problem with interactive forms...I don't understand why
    Adobe hasn't fixed it.
    Please keep any words of wisdom coming; I can't thank you enough.
