Quickly Edit Forms

Hi,
I am making forms in InDesign CS3 and then I use Acrobat Professional 9 to create forms. Sometimes I have to edit a form so I have to go back to InDesign, recreate the pdf and then copy all of my form fields from the old pdf to the new pdf. Is there a more efficient way to do this? Is there a way to add the form fields in InDesign then when you create the pdf the form fields are already there? Or is there a way to copy the form from one pdf to another and have the form fields paste in the same place?
Thanks!!

Redo the form in InDesign, export to a PDF with a different name than the original form, open original form then use Document>Replace pages.
That will replace the image of the form but leave the old fields intact.

Quick Edit Mode and InfoPath form

I have a SharePoint list that has a InfoPath customized form.
The InfoPath form has two drop down fields that have a Data Connection to a another support SharePoint list
The connection allows the second drop down list to be filtered by what the user chooses in the first drop down list (cascading fields).
The data in the support SharePoint list is updated.
If a user edits an item using the InfoPath form all is good BUT if a user edits an item in the Quick edit mode the drop down list fields are not updated with the changes in the support list.
I think this is because if InfoPath is not used the data connection is not invoked and the support list changes are not pushed down to the consuming SharePoint list.
Is there anyway a user can edit an item directly in the SharePoint list and still get the data updated in support lists that use a data connection in the InfoPath form?

Hi,
Yes，it is by default that the Quick Edit feature cannot consume InfoPath data connection. Cascaded Lookup function is not supported on Quick Edit Mode in SharePoint 2013.
As far as I know, there is no solution to enable cascaded lookup function on Quick Edit Mode.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Quick Tip: How to create editable form fields | Acrobat X Tips & Tricks | Adobe TV

A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
http://adobe.ly/wzXkmL

I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

SharePoint 2013 July 2014 CU - People Picker fields empty in Edit forms

After applying the July 2014 CU for SharePoint server, I discovered that Person or Group (People Picker) fields are not populated with server values in list item Edit forms. However, the field values can be viewed in list views
and in Display forms. I examined the client side code and determined that field data is not being returned from the server for Edit forms.
In a test environment, I uninstalled SharePoint 2013, reinstalled SP 2013 with SP1 and the issue went away. I then applied the May 2014, June 2014, and July 2014 CUs. The issue did not exist after applying the May and June CUs. It
did exist after applying the July 2014 CU.

There is a workaround for this issue. It's a little convoluted, but hey, it's SharePoint. First, you must have a list that has at least one entry in it.
To begin with, you must first
have a list with at least one item in the list.
Next you edit the item with a role that has at least Design privilege, but don't save your changes.
Instead you Edit the page so you can then edit that web part. You can edit the page by clicking on the cog icon and selecting Edit Page
Edit the web part itself
Under “Miscellaneous” section on the just exposed web part window, select "Server Render (Server Render)" in the drop down labeled “CSR Render Mode
Click on “Apply” button within the web part
Save
I was told also the Sept CU would fix the issue but it is under review and to wait until the first of October. Incidentally we found that if you put the entire list into Quick Edit mode, the issue does
not appear.
I hope this helps someone.

How to allow users to edit form

Maybe this isn't a typical use for these forms, but I thought I would give it a try. I need to create product specification forms for my designers to fill out to give to their clients. There are standard fields in the form such as product information, pricing., etc that remain fixed. However, my designers need to be able to edit the form in order to place different product images since there doesn't seem to be an option for users to directly up images into the document(unless I missed it). In Adobe Acrobat Pro, users can edit PDF images and content to suite their specific needs. I need to enable this option on my form when creating them, so my designers can edit forms according to their project. After opening a PDF Form I created in FormsCentral in Adobe Acrobat Pro, I click "Edit Text & Images," but I get a message that "This is a secured document. Editing is not permitted." When creating a form, what do I need to do so that my documents may be edited or is it even possible with this program.
Thanks,
Valerie with Fresh Perspective Design & Decor

Thank you, that worked! I'm new to Adobe FormCentral and this is the first PDF document I've ever created. I see how it could be beneficial to have forms submitted in the future for questionaires that our clients fill out, however, I thought this might be a useful tool for just creating a PDF document. Maybe there is a better way to go about doing it, but thus far this is the best option I've seen yet unless you can recommend something that would be more effective. I recently became a Creative Cloud member and I just stumbled across FormCentral while looking for a solution to creating these forms. Normally I would have created a document like that in Microsoft Word, however, I thought this would be less time consuming for my designers to fill out. Are you aware of another way that would be more effective? I'm afraid I am not super tech savy, but do learn new programs quite quickly. Thanks for your assistance!

Only using Quick Edit to interact with a list/view in Sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
I would like users to only interact with a view in Quick Edit mode as it has all the functions I need (Edit,add and delete) without having to open Web Forms. Is there a way to hide the "New Item" link on all current and future views for a list?
Thanks
MM

Lobo,
If you want to hide "+ New Item" which come as web part top left corner, then edit web part
Select "Data Sheet view" as default view from "Selected view" drop down of "edit web part property"
- "Data Sheet view" as web part don't show " + New Item" link.
If that list is display as web part in any of the page not as data sheet view as default then below steps will help.
Make "Toolbar type" as No toolbar just below selected view
Change view style to default to "Basic table" from "Edit the current view" of "edit web part property"
If you want to remove "new item" from file tab of ribbon, then permission need to be removed as contributor to read only.

Sort alphabetically a lookup column in 'Quick edit'

Hi Everyone,
I've had this problem for a long time now and have not been able to get it working. I have a List with several fields, one of them is a Drop-down list with a lookup field linked to another list called 'Customers' which has two fields 'ID' and 'Customer'.
If I create a 'New Item' the field 'Customer' is sorted alphabetically in ascending order by 'Customer', also in the list it's the same (which is what I want) however if I try to edit with the 'Quick Edit' button the lookup column is not sorted by 'Customer'
but by 'ID' and the users are complaining about this this there are more than 1,000 fields. Funny thing is as I already explained, if you create a 'New Item' or 'Edit Item' it works and is sorted as it should, only the lookup in 'Quick Edit' is sorted
by ID.
I already attempted the following and still no luck. I would very much appreciate the help.
Sort SharePoint lookup column Dropdown by customizing your list form with InfoPath

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to.
There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
By design in SharePoint, the lookup column is sorted by ID in 'Quick edit'.
When you click the dropdown icon, the HTML Table will be appeared.
You can use JQuery to sort the Table.

Why is raw opening my original picture in the edited form?

I'm trying to open an unedited picture in adobe raw, but everytime I click on the file, raw opens the pic with an edited version of the picture. I can see the picture in its original from as a thumbnail on my computer, but when it opens, Photoshop is reverting to an edited version. How do I get this to stop. Any help or adice would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks.

Opening in the edited form is the normal mode. The only reason you can see the unedited version as a thumbnail is that you are using Quick Thumbnails. If you used HQ thumbs it would show the edits also.
If you want to delete the edits go to edit/develp settings/clear settings. If you click previous conversion it will put them back.

Acrobat X keeps crashing in Edit Forms mode

Hi!
I use Acrobat primarily to edit forms I made before I started using LiveCycle. I have recently used the adobe cleaner and reinstalled all of CS.5 (because I couldn't figure out how to uninstall Acrobat alone), I am on Windows XP 64 bit--- Acrobat stopped crashing for a few days after the reinstall, now it's crashing when I try to edit form fields. I have a deadline to meet for some form edits... please help?
Many thanks,
Laura

Hi again,
I tried Adobe's help/customer support/chat thing to try to find out why this is happening, and the answer I received was that I had to rebuild my 11-page, 665-field form from scratch. Yikes! All my fields are "hand-made", or customized from "detect form fields": there's no quickie way to recreate them.
The person I spoke with said the problem was that the underlying page layout had originally been built in aiCS3 (though I've edited it in CS5.5 since), and so it was too old to use in Acrobat anymore.
It's puzzling- I had been able to make my layout edits in ai, then field edits in Acrobat, up until a couple of weeks ago.
I'm growing concerned that all my forms will become obsolete after a couple of years. That's scary for a company, to have to have all its custom-built and branded forms rebuilt from scratch every year and half or so.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks for any help or information,
Laura

Error while trying to open edge-code-quick-edit.png

Hi,
I just installed Edge Code, looks great! A couple of issues I noticed when I started using it:
1. When tried opening one of the files (edge-code-quick-edit.png) displayed in the file explorer on the left side. I get an error while trying to do so.
2. The error dialog's text doesn't seem to be selectable, will be great if error messages can be selected and copied.
thnx

I think Peter's reply above might have been to a different thread.
Brackets doesn't support opening binary files yet. This includes images. See https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/148
Good point. I've filed a bug. Due to some issues with our architecture and focus management, this doesn't work currently. https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/1708

I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????

Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

Editing Form Fields inside Acrobat? (after using LiveCycle Designer)

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended == Acrobat
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 == LiveCycle Designer
=========================================
Say I downloaded a new PDF from the interwebs.
I want to add some forms fields so I go to Forms ==> Add or Edit Fields... (inside Acrobat)
Now Acrobat will detect possible places where to add the form fields. I make changes etc. Then I am satisfied with my form fields.
Now say I want to remove a particular object from the PDF, lets take an image as an example.
So I fire up LiveCycle Designer; File ==> New ==> Import a PDF document ==> Create an Interactive Form with a Flowable Layout.
I remove that pesky little object.
In LiveCycle Designer, I save the file as PDF.
I open up Acrobat. I realize I need to make some more changes to some of the Form Fields.
But now instead of "Add or Edit Fields..." option I get "Edit Form in Designer..."
I hate the GUI of LiveCycle Designer --- I had rather edit the form fields from inside Acrobat, as it is easy and fast to change multiple form fields in a few clicks.

Thank you Niall for the above response; Your response gave me an idea which allowed me to remove that line by zooming in to 200%
You know Acrobat detects Form Fields for you.
But many times it makes mistakes, for example in the screenshot below it made the boxes that came with the PDF as text fields instead of check boxes.
The thing is rather than me delete the (form) fields it detected, and start over by making new check boxes, I will not be able to place my new check box in exact locations as Acrobat has done.
When I imported the fields that Acrobat made into LC (by saving the PDF in Acrobat and then opening it with LC) I get option to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box when I right click the object.
Is there a similar way to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box inside Acrobat? Any suggestions?
===========
I would really like to do it inside Acrobat because then if I have to make some minor changes to some field properties, all my hard work which I did by filling the fields gets deleted, as I am forced to use LC. The text I add to the fields don't get deleted when I edit the field properties inside Acrobat. I don't know why LC decides to delete all the text which is filled out in the form fields even though the PDF is saved in Acrobat before being imported into LC?
Here is the above PDF file with the text boxes:

Again thanks for all your guidance so far.
