Reimport form or remove submit feature from pdf

I have a form that has nearly 1000 fields that I saved over the original pdf so when I went to edit it I only have the form version that was created with Forms Central. Are you telling me that I can't reimport this form into Forms Central? I have to recreate this form with over 1,000 fields that took about 8 hours to complete??!!

Did you design the form in FormsCentral or did you import the original PDF into FormsCentral.
Unfortunately right now you can't import a FormsCentral PDF in FormsCentral (but this will change very soon).
With the new feature coming soon you will be able to import FormsCentral PDF. If the form was designed in FormsCentral you won't be able to modify it in FormsCentral after the import as it will behave like any other PDF import (where you can only decide where to put the submit button).
In the mean time you can try these steps (if you have Acrobat) to fix your issue

How remove embedded font from PDF

When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

Remove ALL Images from PDF Export?

I'd like to remove ALL images from a PDF export (Indesign CS6), with the intention of having the smallest file size possible for review. All the images are Photoshop PSDs.
I have created a PDF Preset (PDF 1.7) that omits EPS, PDF and Bitmap.
That covers any PSDs that contain opaque backgrounds, i.e. are considered to be non-transparent. However, any PSDs that do NOT contain such backgrounds still appear in the exported PDF. I assume they are NOT considered to be Bitmaps?!?
I've gone for maximal compression of images (in the Preset) also just to see how small I can get the file, but it's still over a meg, and I'd really like even smaller. I live in a rural part of England where net access is painfully slow, and even a few meg of data takes far too long to upload, not to mention the constant drop-outs. Consider further that my document is likely to grow by several orders of magnitude and hopefully you can see why I'd like to sort this issue out as soon as possible.
I've not done any scripting but assume it would be trivial to hide images with a script. However, I'm not sure how such a script might know how to make visible only the images that were previously hidden by the script. Obviously I would not wish to unhide images that must stay hidden. Maybe some form of image/object tagging, if that's even possible in this product, i.e. tag them "temp hide" on first pass of the script, and so forth.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Regards,
James

@James – to mark the container frames of the nonprinting images by a fill color, you could add the following lines of code in the for loop:
allGraphicsArray[n].nonprinting = true;
//The parent of the graphic is the container that holds it.
//We could use it to fill it with a tint of e.g. 20% of black:
allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillColor = "Black";
allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillTint = 20;
But this approach will add a new problem for images, that only use a portion of the holding graphic frame. Or are only partly visible due to a clipping path or a clipping mask or totally transparent areas due to transparent pixels.
Already colored backgrounds will be recolored…
@Sandee – I see the advantage of the PostScript to Distiller way in this situation, but there are two disadvantages:
1. Live transparency will be flattened (could be no issue in this use case, but you never know).
2. The gray area with the big X will be applied also to parts of the images where no pixels are present (transparent pixels in PhotoShop or TIFF files).
To work around all these issues we need a more complex script that is building a path object around the transparent parts of an image or using an applied clipping path for that purpose and fill that with a gray tint (and maybe with an X).
Here some screen shots to illustrate the problems (with or without using PostScript/Distiller):
1. Original set up:
One placed PhotoShop file with transparency stacked upon the text frame.
The image inside its holding frame is selected.
The visibility of one of its layers depicting a second chair on the left side is switched off.
2. The same setup in a different view:
3. After running the script with the two additional lines of code:
Using the PostScript method would do nearly the same plus adding a cross using the area of the selected image.

Removing submit requirement from text validation field

I am creating a form and I am using a validate text field. If
a customer wants to participate in future surveys, they will enter
their email address in the validate text field, but if they choose
not too, they can leave the field blank. What I want is to make
sure that the email is validated, so I checked the onblur option so
it checks it when I leave the field. The problem is when I click
the submit button, it still checks the field and requires me to
enter an email address still.
Is there a way to alter the SpryValidationTextField.js file
so that it will check the email address on onBlur or onChange and
not when I click the submit button??

Hi Nance
This reply would not be a perfect answer but might explain the logic behind it.
Here it is:
If you are retrieving HTML text from database you can create a function to remove html code from the text matter.
You simply need to look for the start <HTML> tag as a word and then for the end </HTML> tag as a word. Note down the start charater position for <html> and end character position for </HTML> and then simplye remove the content from the text by concatinating the data before the <html> tag and after the </html> tag.
or if you want to remove only the tag part as <html> and </html> from text and save the contents inside these tags, that would also be possible with the logic stated earlier in this post.
I would try to create such function and will post it here if succeeded.

Remove Submit button from completed pdf

I am creating a fillable pdf with a submit button that will email the pdf from our intranet to a list of recipients. I would like to remove the submit button, another button that I use to lock all fields button and accompaning text box from the completed form. Is there a script or other solution that would allow this? Thanks.

Interesting... was just trying it again. I moved that script to the presubmit on the form you sent me and it does complete all the tasks; but when saved and opened in reader the Mailto does not appear and changes cannot be saved. Then when right are enabled through Acrobat, then re-opened with reader the fields on the form are not locked when it is received by email.
When the same changes are made to the original form in LiveCycle and saved as a Static 7 or 8 pdf the text does not get removed and when saved as a Dynamic 7 or 8 the text gets removed but all the fields are unlocked when received by email.
On the form I've setup a Current Date field and have it working with Date and Time format using the following:
----- form1.Page1.CurrentDate::calculate: - (FormCalc, client) -------------------------------------var
theDate = Num2Date(Date(), "MMM D YYYY")
var theTime = Num2Time(Time(), "hh:MM:SS A") Concat(Num2Date(Date()
, "MMM D YYYY"), " ", Num2Time(Time(), "hh:MM:SS A"))
What I'm looking the do is insert a time stamp somewhere on the form when a button is clicked, rather than when the form is opened.

Remove all tooltips from PDF Fom in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to convert an Excel form into a PDF form. There are a couple of hundred fields in the form. By default, when I convert the excel file to a PDF form, Acrobat names all the fields automatically and this name is added to the tooltip. So when mouse hovers over the fields the tooltips show on all fields (e.g. for the column "Day" fields will show tool tips "Day_Row1", "Day_Row2" and so on)
I know I can remove the tool tips by going to the field's properties and deleting the text in the tooltip box, but I do not want to do this for 200 fields one at a time.
Is there a way I can tell the Acrobat to not fill in the Tooltips automatically when the form is converted from Excel file?
Thanks

I am creating the PDF Form using Acrobat 9 Pro. If I make changes in the preferences to not display the tooltips, it only disables the display of the tooltips in Acrobat on my computer. I want the tooltips to be cleared or not display on all PDF viewers by default.

Removing navigation bar from PDF in CE6

I am writing an application for Windows CE6 and I am trying to remove the navigation bars from the PDF presented to the user. The device is loaded with Adobe Reader 9.0. I was told that there is a registry setting that I can change to achieve this functionality but I cannot seem to find it. Could someone help shed some light on my situation?

The registry value name is bExternalTabs. It should be set to a 0 to remove the "Navigation Panel Buttons" and should be removed to enable the functionality. It is placed in the AVGeneral/cDockables registry key. I figured this out by opening a pdf with the Navigation Panel Buttons presented to the user. Then I exported the registry, removed the NPB and exported the registry again. Doing a diff on the two exports revealed what I needed to change.

Remove Header Information from PDF Report

Is there a way to not have the Filters and Variables Information show on a report that is emailed from the BeX Broadcaster as PDF document? We are having issues with the information being displayed having gone from being single spaced to having large gaps between the lines. Or has anyone else had a similar issue and knows how to remove the extra lines?

Hello John,
In TX RSCUSTV27 it is possible to maintain default templates.
For broadcasting, the default template is 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF.
The template can be edited so filters and variables can be removed.

Removing printer offsets from PDF pages

I accidently set up a printer page offset when creating PDF pages from Word Perfect X3. Is there a way to remove the offset, or do I need to go back to the original WP pages (which I can't find!)?

I recreated a page and made sure there were no offsets listed. The PDF page still prints offset. I found sources to recreate the page, displayed codes, and removed anything marked as offset. There is still an offset to the left when pre-print displaying either the source page or the PDF version.

Remove an object from PDF-generated XML file

Hi,
In a stage of user workflow of my PDF, the user presses a submit button that sends XML data to an address. There's an image field that has hundreds of lines of XML code that has no need to sent. In fact, by the time this submit button is pressed, the image field is already "hidden", but of course it remains on the form.
Is there any sort of visibility or access property that will supress an object enough that it doesn't transfer with XML? How about dynamically deleting a field on the user-end?

Hi,
One solution, use an ImageField object instead of an Image object. Then go to the Object > Binding palette and for the binding select No Data Binding (or None, depending on your version of LC Designer).
Because you are now using an ImageField you will need one line of code in it's docReady event (JavaScript):
this.access = "readOnly";
The lines in the XML data file contain the image in Base64 format.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Remove Bogus Font from PDF?

I create the quarterly PDF of Hinduism Today magazine, on Macs, in InDesign, individual articles are exported to PDF as spreads and assembled in Acrobat to produce a single PDF of the entire magazine: nothing new there...
Now, my final PDF is showing a "rogue" copy of a font we tinkered with ourselves "
"RelatoD,Bold" as TrueType, but not embedded;
we have others "RelatoD-Bold" all of which are embedded
If I open all the source PDF (individual articles) all versions of RelatoD-Bold appear as embedded and I cannot spot the document containing "RelatoD,Bold"
My outside shop Mac beta testers say the PDF works perfectly. Acrobat reader on Mac is forgiving. I don't think the font is even in use. But Windows users are getting an ugly font cannot be found or created message. If they dismiss that dialog, the PDF opens and appears fine. There is not a single instance of the "rogue" font showing any visible change in the PDF document.
Obviously I need to track this down, but our production schedule is running behind. Is there way I can simply "zap" delete the rogue font in Acrobat Professional? In the PDF? I don't think we will see a single problem in the document. This seems to be some kind of font "artifact/gremlin" that was introduced, but we don't know how, or from where... and the R & D to track it down is going be "painful" and time consuming.

Larry, excellent, thanks for reminding me of that option. We have done that before when the document starts to show signs of "wierdness" and looks like it is about to explode (smile) export .inx and rebuild before you lose it completely.
The challenge will be : which document from all the articles carries the rogue font? I have no way to analyze it.
hmm. I guess I could boot Parallels and then open each individual PDF (made from individual articles) until I found it.
Meanwhile, I was overly jubilant yesterday. After I ran the PDF thru PDF optimizer, looking at Document Properties I did not see the roque font, I thought Ah ha! Solved! I then pushed an update to our web server, sent the URL to Windows beta test group and by the afternoon they were telling me the PDF *still* threw the warning dialog about missing font.
At our staff meeting (we are mac fanatics here) we thought not a big deal, in the Windows world users are faced with nasty dialogs all the time, I won't have time to go solve this before we go live. Our only regret is being unable to program the dialog box to say "Sorry cannot find or create RelatoD-Bold. It works on Apple. Get a Mac!"
