PDF that doesn't start as a Word document

I need to design a pdf that is fillable and has a signature option but I want to design it as a PDF and not keep changing it in the Word file. Is this possible to make it a one-step process instead of converting from Word each time? Is Form Central or LiveCycle the solution here or can I do something in Acrobat?

Acrobat is not a word processor or authoring program. If you have a form that is being revised, you can make the changes in Word, create a new PDF version, replace the pages in the original form, and adjust the field locations if needed.
Each product has its strengths and weaknesses.
Some products like Apache Open Office can export the test doc and fields on the text doc directly as a PDF but there will be no scripts or actions included.

How do you find a table that doesn't have a specific word in it.

I have two questions.
questions 1
How do you find a table that doesn't have a specific word in it by using a query on the whole database?
questions 2
How would i list all of my cars names in my database not showing duplicates?
I have tried, tried and tried some more to get both of these, but I guess i don't know how to query a specific word.
I also don't know how to query everything in just 1 column name.
If anyone could help with these that would be great I have been trying queries for over an hour now and no luck.
Thanks

I tried the all_tab_columns, just like you did it, however that just gives me the column name I am looking for what is not in a column.
For example I need to find all the tables where mustang is not = 'red' but using a single query i need to find all of the tables.
As for number 2
I am looking for something like this
select distinct column_name
from all_tab_columns
where column_name ='AcertainColumn';Now I'm even more confused. In your example, is MUSTANG a column name? Or is it the value of a MODEL column in the CARS table? And how could that possibly relate to something that exists in multiple tables?
If your data model is at all reasonable, I would expect that you would just want
SELECT *
FROM cars
WHERE model = 'Mustang'
AND color != 'Red'but I can't see how this would relate to data stored in multiple tables.

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

Hi,
thank you for your help.
I am using an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
It is not a specific file that causes trouble, it is happening with all the documents with Hebrew fonts.
I tried the "Save as" option and the same problem happened.

sigh...this is quite idiotic, but I have found a solution. It was quite simple, really, and yet quite idiotic. I share it for all those reading so that, if you know of anyone else that did what i did, you can easily be the "hero" in their lives.
After a continued search via youtube or what have you for any possible solutions, I kept coming back to the fact that I was told by my computer that I didn't have "permission" to do the file deletion. I stumbled upon a youtube video that talked about "unlocking", "locking", certain files and what not.
Long story short, the reason why I couldn't do anything to the files that were on my desktop was due to my "locking" the desktop folder. I must have done this a while back not knowing what I was doing nor the ramifications of clicking a simple box.
I undid this by:
Opening Up Finder
then, going to MacHD --> Users --> My Account Folder
clicking on Desktop Folder, I "cmd+I"
I then, unclicked the "locked" option
I went down to the cog/settings and selected "Apply to enclosed items"
resulting then in having all my files on my desktop free accessiblity and delete-ability....
oi...at least I now know what "locking" a folder (even the desktop folder) can do to other files held within it

How do I stop the spinning wheel that replaced the cursor in a Word document?

How do I stop the spinning wheel that replaced the cursor in a Word document?

Something is causing Word to lock up. Restart the laptop and/or reinstall Office/Word to fix the instability. Maybe even a bad plugin or document could be causing this if it's only happening when you open a particular doc.

Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

Then you posted in the wrong forum...
At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

Document Library - Workflow not starting on copied Word Document

HELLO EVERYBODY!
Right, got a weird issue on a Document Library, where if the Document Library already contains a Word Document with a Title of 'Document 1' and i download the document, make a change and re-upload it. The document uploads as a new separate file but it retains
the same 'Document 1' title.
My problem is that for some reason SharePoint isn't seeing this newly uploaded document and therefore it is not running the workflow on it?
This really confuses me, as it will work with new documents, but it will not work if you download a Word document, change it and re-upload the document as a new version, the workflow will not start.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Tucker

Hi Tucker,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow which was set to start when an item is created cannot start when uploading a copy of a document existing in the library.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and the workflow can start automatically.
As the workflow can start automatically when uploading a new document, it is not the issue with the workflow.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Did you upload the copy with a new name as a separate file or as a new version to the existing document to the library?
Test with a new library and a new document to narrow the issue scope.
Best regards.
Thanks

Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

How do I delete an iphone pdf that doesn't show up in ibooks or itunes?

Hello,
I am trying to make space for iOS 7 and discovered that I have over a gig of a pdf file apparently on my iphone.
The file shows up ONLY in the "On this iPhone" category under Books when the phone is plugged in. It does not show up in the Books sections or iTunes or in iBooks on the phone. It will not allow me to delete it. Help!

You can't without restoring the phone as new.

How do I create an accessible PDF that doesn't generate a "tagged annotations - failed" error on the Accessibility Checker?

I just reported this as a bug to Adobe, as I think it is.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: URLs generated from InDesign CC failed on Accessibility Checker (problem also exists in 2014)
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Generated URLs using hyperlinks panel in InDesign. When accessibility report is run, they are flagged as "Tagged annotations - Failed," listed as Element 1, 2, etc. The links are live and clickable.
2. To test, I removed all hyperlinks in Acrobat. It passed the test.
3. Then I used "Create Links from URLs." The links were re-created. Running the accessibility report brought up the same error message.
Results: The links created by Acrobat that actually do work fail the "tagged annotations" report. You have provided the tools to check accessibility, but the program itself can't generate URLs that pass the report.
Expected results: I should be able to easily create an accessible pdf, as your documentation says I can. This, along with the failure of your "articles" panel detailed in another bug report, strike me as a serious problem with InDesign that should be fixed soon, especially given that designers are required more an more to adhere to accessibility guidelines.

I have call out boxes like this: All the links work correctly but they are divided with a tag for each line:

Is there a way to create a pdf that preserves all links from the origional document?

Hi,
I have a new, rather large, pdf document I need to create. After discovering that adobe will not reliably convert hyperlinks from an office document, I need a new strategy. Does anyone know of a program, other than office, that adobe will reliably convert the links in the origional document into links in the pdf? Or is there a different way to do this, other than adding links in adobe after I create the pdf?
I have Windows 7, Office 2007, Acrobat Pro X, and IE 8 (I know... it's a work laptop)
Thanks

In iTunes, File>Print. Then select your options.
