PDF-form looses text style on another computer

I created a PDF-form with text fields using our corporate font. My colleague has to open it in the Preview and insert text into those fields (she has corporate font installed). But while opening and typing the text, she got my text style lost (corporate font and probably its size). What should I do for she types in my forn and get the same text style as I have? Thank you.

Do NOT use Apple Preview to open PDF forms. It corrupts them in various ways and is very buggy.
Stick with Adobe software for best results.

  • PDF Form Printing Text, but no Form

    I have an accountant trying to print a PDF Form.  It cannot be saved, but only printed.  When the form is completed and printed, it only prints out the entered text, and nothing else.  All other PDF docs print fine
    IT conditions:
    She prints to an older Panasonic Copy machine
    Her printer connection is Shared
    Another PC can print the same form 100% fine and that machine goes through here PC to the printer.
    Completed Troubleshooting:
    First discovered she was on Reader 10.1.3 and the other PC was 10.1.1
    Did a complete uninstall of 10.1.3 to include deleting from registry
    Installed 10.1.1 with same issue.
    Verified all a printer and reader settings are the same for both PCs
    Attempted work arounds:
    Installed doPDF virtual printer to try and save the completed form as PDF
    PDF prints text and form text, but not the field borders for each block
    Installed Nitro PDF as default PDF reader, same issue.  Will not print out the field borders.
    Additional Troubleshooting:
    Ran full virus and malware/spyware scans with no issues.
    Specific Form:
    https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4722
    Searched all over the internet with Google and have had no luck finding any suggestions

    When you print it, the box that pops up should say, under the Comments and Forms box, "document and markups".  Hope that helps.

  • Interactive PDF Form Field Text properties InDesign CS6

    I am new to InDesign CS6 (upgraded from CS4) and after advice when attempting PDF form creation.
    Is there a way of defining text style of text colour font for the form field,
    (in the same way thay is possible if I was editing the PDF within in the text properties of Acrobat).
    Or do I need to export and change the font and colour properties from Acrobat (which would be a shame).
    thanks
    MattHM

    Short answer…no, you can’t do that in InDesign.

  • PDF Forms - continuous text

    I am trying to set up a PDF form for a client using Acrobat Professional since I don't have LiveCycle (I am on a Mac and don't do a lot of web based projects).
    See attached file for example of what I am trying to do: The fields at the top are all individual and the user can tab through them, but I need to set up a set of text boxes in the comments section on each one of the lines shown (client wants the lines for hand completing purposes instead of computer use), but as you get to the end of one line, I need it to immediately go to the next line/box below without having to tab. I know you can set this up in LiveCyle but I don't have access to this. Is there a way to make this happen in Acrobat Professional?

    Hi Torben
    I found your script very helpful for a similar problem to an original post you replied to. Thank you so much. In my example I've used it because I had an indented first line.
    Have you ever used this script in a way which would allow deleting of type back through the fields? I've been finding that once a mistake is found in the typing, the whole block of text must be started again, as well as there being no possibilities of selecting all of the typed text in those linked fields to copy and paste elsewhere (eg into an email or Word).
    I know this post is a little old, but if you're available to reply if you've done this before or seen it done, I'd be very grateful.
    Thank you

  • I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

    How can I distribute a form with text boxes so that the recipients are able to type into the boxes?

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
    I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

  • Pages PDF documents does not open in another computer?

    Pages documents which I export to PDF does not open in another computer (Mac or PC).
    my computer is macbookpro and earlier everything worked fine.
    Pages is 4.05 version.
    Thanks!

    There is a bug in OSX 10.6.7 which damages pdf files using PostScript OpenType fonts.
    You will need to go back to the earlier OSX 10.6.6 by reinstalling from your Installer DVDs.
    Or only use TrueType OpenType fonts. Get info in FontBook to find out which is which.

  • PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

    I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
    Should I post this in the PDF forums?

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • Adobe PDF Form: Include text in table

    Hi,
    Im kinda new to Adobe Forms, and this may seem like a very basic question.
    I have copied a standard SAP VAT invoice adobe form and Im making changes to it.
    I have added an "include text" (which has multiple lines) to an already existing table with multiple columns.
    The problem is that while the include text prints correctly when it expands, the entire table does not expand along with it.
    So when the include text goes into many lines, it exceeds the table boundary and overwrites other areas of the form.
    The table layout is like this .
    Column1                Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Column6 
    Inc text                    50$        1.00       PAID       DELIV
    Many Lines       -
    Line3
    Line4
    Line5
    Is there any grouping or somehting that i have to do?
    Thanks,
    John

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance

  • Fill in pdf form with text

    recieved a pdf form and need to fill in the lines with text
    using acrobat pro9 mac

    Is it a fill in form (if so, then you should get an i-bar as you move over the fields)? Are you filling it out in Acrobat or the MAC preview? The latter has problems with PDF forms and should not generally be used for this need.
    If there are no form fields (not fillable), then you will either have to add form fields yourself (maybe the MAC version has the recognize fields feature of the PC version -- assuming the form is actually text and not just a picture). The other option is to use the Typewriter tool.

  • PDF form - Displaying entered data in another field

    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this. I'm trying to create a PDF form containing a business card graphic/template with fields that'll update as the user enters his/her data. I wish to use an existing graphic with added fields which are read only, underneath I want to provide fields for the customer to enter their data which is then reflected into the fields of my graphic. Hope this makes some sense! Basically I want the customer to see real time proof of the business card as they update it with their own personal information.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for reading.

    Thanks for this. I've found a good solution for what i'm trying to do
    Placing the script below in the custom calculation script for my Text2 field will copy the contents of Text1 to Text2 this way I can set individual
    properties for each field. (I found duplicating the same field means they share the same properties)
    {event.value = getField("Text1").value;
    Cheers

  • PDF form, vanishing text when click

    Hello
    I´m working with a form were car dealers can fill out name, address, registration numbers and so on when they sell a car.
    If I make a text field I place a standard text inside the field "write here" so they know were to write.
    How do I do to make the standrad text to dissapere whem they click on the "write here text"? I only get to the point were they must mark the standard text and then write a new text. If not the standard text is still there and the new text put behind.
    Is it possible?

    Also, if you don't want the default text to print, add the following line of code:
    // Set field to not print if empty
    event.target.display = event.value ? display.visible : display.noPrint;

  • Overwriting a PDF file that is open on another computer

    Hi!
    Instead of a intranet, we decided to post a PDF file via network mapping to keep the staff updated on the latest news.
    We use a mapped network folder as source for the documents, and one document with links so the staff can navigate to relevant information. The staff opens the PDF-file in IE.
    The problem we have is that whenever someone in the staff has opened the document in IE we are unable to edit the PDF in Word and overwrite the PDF-file that are availible to the staff.
    Is there any way that we can make the file overwritable when someone has opened it, and the person that is reading the file can simple refresh and get the updated information?
    This document will be edited by several departement managers, so it's impossible for us to use other editing tools than Office  (which they are already used to).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not an expert on editing files that are opened by another application, but I am not sure it _can_ be done the way you currently have it set up.  At least as far as IE is concerned.  (And I hate IE, too.. never did like it.)
    IMHO, the file should be stored in a database; that way, no matter how many people are accessing it, you can make changes and save them to the binary stored in a BLOB/CLOB datatype.  And if you (exclusive) lock the record as it's being saved, whomever is trying to access it will be "paused" until the save is complete and they will then retrieve the latest update without any corruption of data, or other 'hiccup'.
    If a database is not an option, I'm not sure what to do.  If it were an intranet, it might be different.  But a network share isn't the best solution.  It might be cost-saving or easier to maintain; but there's a saying - You can have it cheap, fast, or good; pick two.

  • Link in xml form article text to open another portal page?

    Like in all websites our intranet have pages with articles (xml forms) where it's logical for the text to include links to other articles in other areas of the portal.
    Since all iviews (km navigation in this case) are displayed as iframes, links within the text only lead to the target page being displayed within the iview/iframe. I need the complete portal page to change to also show where in the page hierachy/navigation structure the user has landed.
    I am aware of the related links iview, but this doesn't do the trick. I want the article text itself to include the links.
    A logical solution would be to find the page's navigation URL and use this as a text link, but then I would need to add a target=_top to change the whole page around. This is not possible within a xml form. (<a href="/irj/portal?NavigationTarget= navurl://cf1c773631c70d216fe3434ca4dc3a0e" target="_top")
    Ideas?
    Henning

    Thanks for answer. Points awarded.
    BUT: Still, a link to http://server/irj/portal/link added in the html editor window of an xml form only give the options of opening the link in new browser, or in the active window. The first option results in a massive amount of opened browsers, the second results in the target page being opened in the iframe (not nice!)
    Of course I could edit the xml directly adding a target=_top, but every new editing of this file would overwrite these changes.
    The best way would be to add a new option in the html editor allowing an option of "fill entire window" when adding a text link that adds target=_top in the xml.
    Ideas?

  • Error when editing a PDF form

    I created a PDF form with text field boxes and saved it. I opened it and was able to type in the field boxes no problem.
    When I try to edit that same form and then re-save it the field boxes are suddenly no longer highlighted or able to type text in them.
    Do you have to re-create a form each time you want to edit it???

    I was able to figure out why they werent showing up. I stupidly had the "read only" button on.
    Next question, how can I set it up so that when the form is typed into and then saved that it cant be edited after that?
    Example: someone enters text into a text field, then saves it under a new name, then emails it to a 2nd party and they can not edit the text in the field box.
    Thanks
