PDF doc with ability to type in

I am wanting to create a PDF that allows someone to type their information on a given line. How do I set up this type of PDF? does Adobe 7.0 Professional allow this action?
I have Windows XP Professional.

You can create a Form in Acrobat (Tools>Advanced editing) or using the form menu to go to Designer. The form can then be completed and the information sent to you with a button field as data, typically to a web script. The information can also be printed (with document and markup selected). The information can not be saved with Reader when the form is created in AA7. AA8 and later have added that feature with some limitations.

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.
They mentioned that we have to create form design (pdf) with same data model.. But When i tries to create form design by including the data model .. it is not allowing to me save as pdf and its telling that we have to save as xdp only.   So saved as xdp only and followd all the same steps what they mentioned .. but we are getting error like :::

Please find my form guide setting to invoke my REST URL.. and my process.
please help me in this regard ,,,,,

Hi Han,
The problem might be in path of the resources. Please check the path for the pdf you includes at form guide.
Please check concat( ) operation .. make sure that it is correct and pointing as per your work bench.
And
At Configuring the REST endpoint for the PDF render service:,   6th point , please select   as System level rather than INVOKE_PERM.
I hope it helps.
Thanks

Can I have a library of PDF docs with version control? Can it cope with version nos. embedded in the file name?

I manage a set of documents which are edited in Word but "published" as PDFs (using Word 2010's save to PDF capability).
I want to create a library for them on SharePoint (my company has SharePoint Online via its Office 365 subscription).
I'm pretty much a SharePoint novice but even I can see it's easy to upload the documents to a simple library. The things that are giving me a headache are:
Can I tell SharePoint what the version number of the uploaded PDF document is? The version number as understood by the library needs to match the version number written into the document (where it is called a revision number and increments in whole numbers
starting from zero).
How do I handle replacing the uploaded PDF documents with new versions? If they were Word documents I could edit them by opening them from the SharePoint library, checking them out if necessary, and SharePoint would handle version control.
But since the PDFs are generated from editable masters (Word documents) which are NOT on SharePoint I would need to edit the local Word document on my PC then generate a PDF version then upload it to replace the existing PDF document in the
library. Is it easy to upload a new document over the top of an old in a SharePoint library?
Hoping someone can give me some answers.
Regards,
Bruce Officer

hi Bruce,
1. It sounds like what you need is to set the starting version number since your revision number increments in whole numbers, it would match up to SharePoint once the starting version number is set. You can potentially create a new custom field in the
library to manually track the version of the uploaded PDF document, but this might not match up with SharePoint's own version number and could get confusing. Another possibility is to upload dummy versions of the PDF document until the SP version
matches with the revision version and then delete these dummy versions.
2. When you upload the PDF document again into the library, it should prompt you to see if you want to replace the existing. If you proceed with the upload, it should replace and increment the SharePoint version number.
Please Mark Answered if my reply solves your problem. Thanks!

Acrobat XI Pro - How can I have clients sign pdf docs with stylus on my Tablet PC WITHOUT having to subscribe to signature services like EchoSign?

I was told there was a "Setting" in XI Pro that would allow me to have clients sign pdf documents with a stylus on my Tablet PC (I have a MS Surface Pro 2), without having to sign up for EchoSign or any other electronic signature service. Is that correct? If so, what is the setup or settings?

There are several third party plugins for Adobe Reader and Acrobat on the market, which allow to use the display of a tablet PCs as a capture device for handwritten signatures. Some of those plugins are enabling also the combination with real digital signatures without the need of any previous registration of the signatory.

Can't open PDF doc with 9.1

I have numerous clients that have Adobe Acrobat 5 AND Acrobat Reader 9.1.
They use version 5 to edit and create pdf's and they use 9.1 Reader to receive new orders.
They have to open the emailed PDF Attachment with 9.1 but when they try to open it, it continues to use version 5 instead of Reader 9.1.
I've verified the File association is setup to open with 9.1 but still no luck... it still opens with 5.
Now if they save an attachment to the hard drive and open it, it does open with 9.1.
Any suggestions?
Pls help,
Steve

Have them try opening Reader before using the e-mail. That may resolve the issue. Many e-mail packages also have a list of applications and associated extensions. If your client is one of them, try changing the association in your client.

Embedding letterhead in email with ability to type over in same space

ok i am a print media designer. I am absolutely green in dreamweaver but wish to learn. I am trying to figure out how to embed a client's letterhead into all of her outgoing emails to clients as a background. She needs to have the ability to type over it. My limited "google-ing" research has shown that either Dreamweaver or Outlook work best for this. I have Dreamweaver CS4 so i figured i would give it a shot. Like i said i am a beginner so if anyone feels like taking me under their wing and talking me through this i would GREATLY appreciate it!

well i do not use outlook. If i get on there to do this is it self explanitory? do you have any links to
any helpful tutorials? Thanks!

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?

Cannot create any PDF docs with Acrobat Pro 7.0

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 running on Microsoft XP. All of a sudden, I cannot
convert any documents into PDFs. I have tried converting Microsoft Word
docs and those from other applications. It is important to stress that I
have managed to do this many times in the past, but for some reason Acrobat
has suffenly stopped doing this. I have tried 'printing' to PDF and
'converting' to PDF. Each time I get the following error message on a
'Notepad':
"%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo:
CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
I have clicked on 'Detect & Repair' under the 'Help' menu button in Adobe
Acrobat and this supposedly did some form of reinstalling/fixing (without
the need for a CD to be inserted into the computer) and asked me to turn off
my computer & then turn it back on.
Having done this, I still cannot get docs to convert to PDF.
I have not added any particular hardware or software to my computer in
recent times. Apart from the PDF conversion, everything else in Adobe
Acrobat Pro seems to run fine. I can read all documents etc.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Alan

OK, I've got everything to work - so long as I 'Print' docs to PDF rather than clicking on the PDF conversion icons (if I click on these icons, I just get an error).
But if I print to PDF, everything now works - I've even managed to solve the Word problem - I think it was a faulty Word doc for some reason. I found a useful document which told me how to set up all the settings for Acrobat Distiller (http://mydocs.epri.com/docs/CorporateDocuments/WorkingWithEPRI/CreatingAcrobatPDFs.pdf).
If you know how to make the PDF conversion icons work (it must be something simple) that'll save me having to print each time, it would be great, but I can survive without this.

Error display PDF doc with zoom=75% oder zoom=125%

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobar Reader X 10.1.4 (but the problem occurs unter Acrobat Reader 9 too) and have a big problem:
If using a zoom factor of 100%, all looks fine, the Text is "63+1,5"
But if I'm using a zoom factor of 125%, the text is wrong: "63-1,5"
I've got this problem with a lot of pdf files (example)
Any idea, how to solve this problem?
Ciao

Unable to download PDF docs with Safari

I cannot download PDF documents from the internet, using Safari. All I get is a plain black screen, with the following message: "the document "04_712....._12Sep11_A.pdf" could not be exported as "Hydro Bill.pdf". Alternatively, I have absolutely no problem opening PDF documents from files on my computer. I have downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Reader but that made no difference. How can I fix this?

Hi Sue,
I have downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Reader but that made no difference

Open pdf doc with reader 9 when acrobat 8 installed

Hello,
I created a form with acrobat 9 and distributed it.
It appears that on a windows xp computer that already has acrobat 8 installed, it is impossible to open the form with reader 9, (after installing it, of course...).
Then, I'd rather create an excel file...
Please, all suggestions to solve that issue very quickly are welcome.
Thx++

Scanning, managing pdf docs with Microsoft Access

I'm an experienced Access developer, but new to Acrobat SDK. Is it possible to create an application in Access (VBA) that tags documents as they are scanned into pdf files, then retreive/display those documents using those tags or searching the pdf files? If this is possible, could someone point me to documentation or code examples where I can learn how to do this?
Thanks much in advance for any suggestions and guidance.

By "tag" I mean a short descriptor field that can be filled in by an operator for each document that is scanned, then can be used to pull up and view the document later. Specifically, the application would store scanned copies of prescriptions. Here's how it would work: The operator would load one or more prescriptions into a scanner. As each prescription is scanned, the scanner would pause to let the operator enter the prescription number into a database. The database would store the tag field and either an actual copy of the prescription or a pointer to the pdf file. Later, the operator could enter a prescription number into the database app and the image or pdf file would be displayed.
Thanks again for any advice you can give me.

I received a PDF document with jpegs in it....how can I take the photos to iPhoto

I received a PDF doc with jpeg photos within it. How can I move photos to iPhoto??

Here's how to get a pdf file or any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

How to hide linked slides in PDF docs in Keynote?

Well... I want to make a CV (Curriculum Vitae) that should be for the German rules with max two pages. And I would like to make a keynote with two pages and 20 hided linked pages and sent it in PDF. Because... if the person that is reading the document wants more information of any job i did, he could press the button ...More, that would bring more information about it. It will be great for the person that receives this kind of CV because he would see (receive) just two pages, as he expect, but actually the document has another 20 pages or more linked on it, and these pages would be hided to don't confuse the examinator giving more details just if necessary (Avoiding visual polution) So... Can I do it? with Keynote? A PDF doc with one or two pages and 20 or more hided linked sllides? Thank you guys.

To create an interactive PDF from a Keynote presentation:
Presentation pane of the Setup inspector > Presentation Type pop-up menu > Hyperlinks only
draw an object using the shapes tool to create a hyperlink button
select the object > right click > Add Link
Link to Slide > Click Go To Slide > select the required slide number
create as many buttons as required to link to the other slides
File > Export > PDF

A PDF document with links to other PDFs corrupts the URL and get 404. Works in IE.

One of our supplier sites has manuals online that are PDF docs with links from one to another. For example, when I click on "Tanaka" I get a PDF menu of Tanaka service manuals, etc. When I click on a section, such as "Chainsaw" I get a 404. Part of the directory structure in the URL is missing. For example when in the Tanaka PDF menu I click on Chainsaw I go to http://www.parklands.net/Resources/Tana%20CSaw%20Menu.pdf which is wrong. It should be http://www.parklands.net/Resources/Tanaka/Tana%20CSaw%20Menu.pdf, and in IE it is.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

The linked documents will not be automatically converted to PDFs and merged
with your file, neither in Acrobat Standard nor in Acrobat Pro. You can do
it, but you'll need to do it manually by converting all the files to PDFs,
merging them and then adding the links between them.
