PDF form data not visible when opened in Illustrator CS5

I've been searching the forums but have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I've created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The PDF form fields are then populated with data via Netsuite. When I open the PDF (with data) in Acrobat all of the information shows up, however when I open the PDF in Illustrator CS5 the field data is not visible. Is there a way to force the data to be visible when opened in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

SVG connector lines missing when opened in Illustrator CS5

It has taken a while to jiggle SVG files saved in Inkscape and get them to open in Illustrator CS5. The files are basically a flow chart with some text and connecting lines between the rectangular boxes.
Now we are getting text and rectangular boxes to show when the SVG file is opened in Illustrator. However, the paths (or connector lines) that show the flow between boxes are not shown.
The file we are opening has about 10 layers and initially, it looked like just a blank document. We had to click the top layer in the layer group "on", to see all the layers. I guess the default is having the top layer "off".
When opened in a browser, the connector lines are showing up fine (although the arrow heads are turned sideways).
Suggestions for getting connector lines to show up in Illustrator?
Thanks!

I suppose Inkscapes equivalent of AI's Expand function would be advisable. I'd have to revisit inkscape one of these days, but I believe they are using styles to descripe the conenctors, not genuine objects, hence nothing shows up in programs that don't understand the Inkscape lingo...

Responses in PDF form are not visible

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed and have produced a form which can be filled in by third parties.
I have received a return in which the all of the responses are not visible unless I click in the field

Most likely, the fault lies with the application used to fill in the forms,
which is probably Apple Preview, that is known to cause this problem. You
can fix the forms with this utility:

And in the future instruct your users not to use Preview, but only Adobe
Reader (or Adobe Acrobat).

Aperture 3 edits are not applied when opening in Photoshop CS5.

I have Photoshop CS5 selected as external editor. I apply some edits in Aperture 3 and then open in Photoshop cs5 to do heavier work, but aperture 3 edits are not applied. I get a new image from Master. How do I get the edited image to open in Photoshop CS5? I would rather do the cropping and simpler edits in Aperture, then if needed open the edited file into CS5. I can open the file, but it is missing all of my edits. I have basically a raw master file that I have to start with, but don't have the advantage of the raw file.

I'm right clicking on the photo and selecting -> edit with Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS5. The photo opens in Adobe, but it doesn't have any of the Aperture edits applied to it. I would have to start from scratch doing these in photoshop. I want to be able to do the Raw adjustments in Aperture and then open into Photoshop.
To test I applied a crop in Aperture and then opened that file in Photoshop. The full size image opens in Photoshop.

Photoshop file not visible when opened.

Hello,
I have a somewhat strange issue with opening a .psd file.
The file consists of 3 layers, some created in illustrator and then painted in photoshop. The file opens and displays absolutely perfectly on my mac, however, when I send it to the clien they have reported back that when they open the file themselves, all they see is a blank image. Ive tried resaving and resending the file, but the problem still persists.
Any help would be mssively appriciated as I'm on a tight deadline!
Thanks again!
Tom.

I've managed to sort out the visibility issue, but now they are reporting another!
The image I'm sending has been exported at 300dpi in A3 size. When I check the dimensions they are exactly what I see and the quality is perfect.
When they are opening it their end, they say that image is 72dpi and all layers have been flattened.
As the file is to be printed on clothing it obviously needs to be at a high dpi. I can't for the life of me figure out how the dpi they are seeing and the dpi I'm seeing are different?
The image was originally hand drawn, scanned into manga studio, inked, and then exported as a photoshop file. I've since live traced the image and turned it into a vector, placed it into photoshop and then added a gradient. There should surely be no issues right?
Thanks for your help!
Tom.

Sharpening applied in Camera Raw not showing when opened in Photoshop - CS5

Has anyone come across this problem. I have a bunch of files I have processed in camera raw, but when I open them the sharpening is not applied. This wasn't happening yesterday. Is there a bug? Am I missing something?

There is a camera raw preference whether to apply sharpening to the on-screen view only, or also to the exported files.
You probably inadvertently set it to screen-only and now after resetting, the default is both.

Field not visible when uploading the file in application ser

Hi,
I have added a new field at the end of a structure and When i upload the data in the application server it is not visible there. The new field length is 30chars(say field 'A') and the one just before this one is 250 chars(say field 'B'). When i reduce the length of field 'B' to 30 chars or 40 chars the value which i populated in field 'A' is visble in the output file.
Since the complete file was not visible in AL11 transaction, i used the CG3Y tcode as well to download the data to presentation server so that i can view the complete file. Even after downlaoding in presentation server the new field value is not visible.
Can anyone please suggest why is the value in field 'A' not visible when the length of field 'B' is 250 chars? Also, how can i display the value of the new field in the application server.I cannot change the layout of the structure as per the requirement. Any help will be very useful.
Thanks in advance,
Sneha.

Hi Sneha.. Happy new year
<you subject is missing ver from the server, thats why your server doesnt like you :P>
-ok, lets go step by step. how did you upload the file?
-after uploading the file check the file in OS level(goto SM69, execute CAT, in additional parameter (not in parameter) give the full path (case sensitive), execute. ). here you can see the actual content of the file... check you data is present or not
-which structure are you using to download and upload? a temp work area.. then please provide the WA details, so that i can try on my system.
lets see what happens next
one more thing: regarding AL11, it can read upto length 510 characters. check program RSWATCH0 form SHOW_FILE. here the read dataset into butffer is 510 characters.

.pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
Thanks

Jeremy,
Or you may go further down the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

TS1506 My attachment symbol is not visible when I am sending an email. How do I get it back?

Attachment option is not visible when sending an email through aol.com.

When you are composing an email tap at the location you want to insert a photo or video. The option to insert comes up. Tap on that and select the photo or video you wish to insert.
Alternately you can use the Photos app and select up to five photos to insert into an email. Tap select, select the photos and then tap the Share icon. Select Mail and an email will be created. You can then address the email, add a subject and type in content.
To attach other things like a PDF, Word Doc, etc. you need to use the app that creates or edit seize items. Again select the item you want to email and tap on the Share icon in the appropriate app.

PDF exported from InDesign missing background when opened in Illustrator

Hello, I am having a bit of a frustrating problem.
I'm working on graphics for a large project, and I have to get some of my files from InDesign into Illustrator (they are both CS5) for our printer.
I would have normally designed them in Illustrator but ALL my graphics are in InDesign and we just found out once we started on production that he needs AI and needs our trim path set up for our irregular shapes.
For MOST of the documents, its been pretty easy (exporting to PDF > opening in illustrator and making a cut path > saving as AI) however I have this one file that is making me lose my mind.
When I export it as PDF, it opens perfectly and looks normal in acrobat, and I also check it out in preview as well. The background shows up and everything. However when I open the PDF in illustrator it completely loses the background. I noticed it doing this before for a couple graphics, but I assumed that was because they had gradients drop shadows and transparencies and all that. This file has nothing weird except for a gradient grey background.
Help? I'm including some screenshots of whats happening in the hopes that you guys can help solve it.
So here we have me saving it, then opening it in Acrobat to check stuff out.
Now here is what happens when I open it in Illustrator:

Hi, Brie. I have been running into this issue for quite some time now. I also received the same response as you did. "Stop opening exported PDFs in Illustrator." This is an unsatisfactory answer for someone that works in the large format print industry that needs to preflight directly in the Illustrator program. I've done a ton of research and have been racking my brain for the last 2 years and have finally found sufficient workarounds for this issue. The downfall with these workarounds: all spot colors located in the gradients will convert to CMYK mixes. I'm still researching to see if there is a way to keep spot colors intact in these areas.
A little back story: InDesign is converting the gradients into something called NChannel. It enables more accurate handling of color blending by including additional dot gain and color mixing info. Both InDesign and Acrobat have the ability to display these elements whereas Illustrator, from what I’m finding, does not. Which is why we’re seeing gradient elements drop out when opened in Illustrator.
Workaround for CMYK Gradients
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: DeviceCMYK
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select DeviceCMYK in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 1 Spot Color in Gradients (Converts Spot Color located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the Spot that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 2 Spot Colors in Gradients (Converts Spot Colors located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the DeviceN spot color that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Please try this and let me know if you have any questions! I'm always looking for new problems to solve! Good luck!

Submit pdf form data to sql database

Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
Thanks for advice.
Tony

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

submit pdf form data to sql database
If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
post your email and I will email them to you directly.

CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 Vista Ult64

CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
Truetype and Opentype work fine. I have searched through all the forums here multiple times, but not found a solution. The only workaround I found was to manually put the font files in c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Fonts.
When I put any font files in that folder, they show up in CS3 for use, but not in windows apps. I thought I would make a permanent work around by placing all of my uninstalled font files in that folder, then use suitcase to install them from there. That didn't work because EVERY font in that folder is available to CS3 and turned on. Do they get installed when you put them in there?? It didn't seem like they were installed, and windows apps didn't see them.
These are workarounds anyway. My main goal is to have suitcase work so I can organize my fonts efficiently. Extensis blames the font and CS3. I have read that there are adobe issues with other font management software as well as suitcase. Any help would be appreciated.

Got mine FIXED here is what i did:
Windows 7 64bit SP1, CS 5
Postscript fonts (comprising of *.pfb + *.pfm files) did not show up in any CS5 app, but showed OK in Word, Excel, Notepad etc.
Tried activating through Suitcase Fusion 2 and also through FontExpert 2009 - but neither of them made the fonts visible in CS5 apps
1) open Start Menu/Control Panel/Fonts
2) on the sidebar there is "Font settings" item
3) set the settings as i did
[ ] Hide fonts based on language settings
[ x ] Allow fonts to be installed using a shortcut (advanced)
FIXED mine,
now i can use Suitcase Fusion 2 to install any PFB/PFM fonts without any problems...
PLEASE IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU TOO, LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE SO OTHERS KNOW IF THIS FIX IS 100% WORKING

Submitted PDF form is not delivering to my Domain email account

What exactly is not working ? As you have mentioned form submission notification is received in your email account so form process is working I believe but you want the notifications to go to another email account I think.
Have you added the email address in "Email to" field in form options ? If yes and then also you are not receiving the form , then please provide me the site url and post a screenshot or form with option box open.
