Run form field detection missing

Does anyone know where I can find the 'run form field detection'? It supposed to be under the advanced tab - accessibility. I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.

Never mind, I got it back after a reinstall.

Forms -- Run Auto Field Detection Grayed Out

After using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 successfully for 2 1/2 years I have run into a problem: all of a sudden I cannot create forms from already created PDF files.
My last form was in March, but now the " Run Auto Field Detection" is grayed out.
What should I do to correct this problem ? For our business this is important and the time difference is 1-2 hours versus 3-5 minutes.

No Form Fields Detected - Adobe Pro X

Hi all,
Having a very frustrating time today and probably missing something simple. I have created a new PDF Form and also edited a previous Form that I have used. However, when uploading them into our software (proprietary), we get the error "No Form Fields Detected". However, the previously edited document (the same but from previous installation of the same software - Adobe X Pro) works fine. They are the same!
Am I missing something here? I get the option to Edit in Designer in my tools menu. Checked and double checked all the fields are correct as before, no change but the two forms behave differently. On the two versions of the previous Form, I have gone through Properties etc step by step and both Forms are identical.
It might be that I have never done this step myself before but if I create a new form from scratch in Designer, is there a step I must do to make the Form Fields be acknowledged as Form Fields?
Thanks in advance.
ps. tutorials I have seen have an Edit function in the Tools menu which they use to Detect Form Fields but I only have "Edit in Designer".
David

Thanks for your reply. Finally solved it last night. Simple in the end but took ages to find it (and much hair pulling).
My Forms were saved as Dynamic XML. So I saved them as Static XML then reapplied Reader Extended features and it all worked fine.
Appreciate you looking.
Kind regards
David

CSRF form field is missing

Hi,
I have a classical asp .net application which is using asp.net 4.0 architecture(using Webforms and NOT MVC). To prevent CSRF attacks I am trying to use AntiCSRF implementation given by codeplex.
When I try to redirect a certain page using ‘Server.Transfer’, this causes an exception saying ‘CSRF form field is missing’. Instead, the page can be redirected successfully using ‘Response.Redirect’. Any idea?
Can you please anybody help me.
thanks,

Acrobat X Pro detects no form fields in the PDF created by Excel

I am using Acrobat X Pro on a Macbook running Yosemite OS X. Office 2011 and Acrobat are both fully updated.
I have created a PDF from an Excel spreadsheet. two columns. first column has text to describe what the user is supposed to enter in the second column. the cells in the second column have a border box drawn around them. I saved this Excel document as a PDF. I opened it in Acrobat X Pro and used the Tool - Create Fillable Form. It gives a message saying "No form fields detected". What am i doing wrong? Is there an issue with this process?

i have read at least 4 articles and watch 3 videos that do almost the same process i have explained. the only difference is that they used Word to create their PDF doc. they had no issues.
so i am wondering if there is something wrong with the Excel PDF process. i have tried this one 2 different MacBooks with same result.
what does the cell have to have in order for Acrobat to detect it as a form field?
I have a spreadsheet that has over 300 fields that should have been detected. so yes, i could create them manually, but i am hoping to get this Acrobat to detect them.
I tried the process you did "File=>Create Form". i got same message.
i built a separate little test process to describe the issue. see image that is attached.
it is very simple, yet no fields were detected.

Adding Form Fields to Structure

I am working with Adobe Acrobat Pro v9 with a PowerPoint document that I converted to a PDF. I'm working on making it accessible. It is a simple course certificate with one form field, a text box that the user simply types their name in. When I run Accessibility: Full Check I get one error message relating to adding form fields to structure.
It says I need to choose Adanced Accessibility: Add Form Fields to PDF Tags. When I do that and run the Full Check again, I continue to get the same message.
Am I missing a step? Or is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks!

Just some nattering here, but -
After any edits/changes save the PDF before running Full Checker again.
Open the Tags panel, expand the structure tree, from the Options menu turn on Highlight Content.
Walk down the tree. Look for <Form>.
From the Options menu (for the Tags panel) use "Find".
Look for Unmarked Annotations.
Note that "Run Form Field Recognition" will add <Form> to the structure tree.
However, the OBJR beneath it is "generic" and not "your" form field.
For this situation you'd have to add yours (use Find - the dialog has a button to permit tagging an item).
Once the form field annotation is "in" the structure tree you'll want to ensure it is positioned appropriately; in context of the page's logical hierarchy.
Be well...

Form data going missing

Hi
I have a timesheet system which has been in use for about 10 years. Recently an issue has arisenn whereby a number of users are having problems entering their hours.
Basically the form data goes missing between the data entry and the database update. The error displayed is of an undefiened field.
[edit] I forgot to say that this is only happening sporadically and just by re-entering the data it will often work [/edit]
I have been trying for some time to work out what is going on and have got as far as ascertaining that
a) the data is entered and the submit button is clicked
b) the template defined in the "form action" is loaded
c) the form fields are missing
I have not been able to reproduce this locally but having put some further debugging into the live system have noticed that there is a difference between 'client.cfid/cftoken' and session.cfid/cftoken'.
The system has been running so long and I have not had to do anything to it so my CF is a tad rusty but this struck me as odd, and a possible reason for the form data going missing.
Does thi sound as if it might be the problem, and if so any ideas why it might be happening.
I do not host the system myself, that is done by Hostway, so I do not have any access to the server.
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers
Martin

Could we have a look at the form page?

How do I create a dynamic table in the form for auto field detection?

I am new to Acrobat. We need to create a form template that contains dynamic table control so that it can be populated using auto field detection.
Our dynamic table contains reimbusement information, the rows vary from one claim to another.
Please help. We are having Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks
Prasadh

A lot is possible. There is a scripting language which should fill the gaps of missing features. There is data merge, there is XML, there is InCopy. Read everything about it and you will surely find what you need.

Auto-Detect Form Fields from Word 2007

LiveCycle 8.x fails to detect form fields from form documents I've created in Word 2007. I also notice that Word 2007 documents saved as Word 2003 documents do not convert the text fields either (text fields static).
Is LiveCycle 8.x compatible with Office 2007 or does it depend on the conversion from 2007 (.docx format) to 2003 (.doc format) before creating the PDF then detecting and placing the fields?

I could tell it not to run in Acrobat 9 but can’t figure out how to do that in version 11. When I use the Create Form command, I get a series of windows that guide me through the process of creating the form. Unlike Acrobat 9, none of those windows includes an option for not running auto detect. At the end of the process, the form is created with fields. The only solution seems to be to let Acrobat create the fields, and then delete them all and manually create the fields I want. Thanks for your feedback.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Use of 'Run macro' in the form field dialog

Hi Tim,
Can you please explain the use of the 'Run macro on' on the form field dialog box in the XMLP template.
One can see the following on the 'Text Form Field Options' dialog box:
Run macro on
Entry Exit
runRTFtoRTF runRTFtoRTF
runRTFtoXLIFF runRTFtoXLIFF
runRTFtoXLS runRTFtoXLS
The above are option values in it. Please explain their usage. I couldnot find anything about it in the XMLP Guide. I am currently using XMLP 5.5 with EBS 11.5.10
Thanks,
Nitin

Form fields are not an XMLP feature. They are part of MS word. Look at the MS doco for information on it. I doubt there is a way that can be used in conjunction with XMLP however.

Detecting Form Fields

Here at work, we use AutoCAD to draw up specs on our products. From there we convert to .PDF where we fill in the text fields as needed for our products.
Rather than manually placing each text field on the PDF, how do I have the program locate where the fields should go? I think this is called, Detecting Form Fields.
I have my PDF I just created from AutoCAD with no text fields in it yet.
I go to Forms > Add or Edit Fields, then I get a pop up saying, "Currently no form fields in this PDF. Do you want Acrobat to detect fields for you?"
I click YES and it says, "No new form field annotations were detected"
How do I get this to find the fields so I dont have to manually insert every text field??
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Here are some guidelines: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/designing-forms-auto-field-detection-adobe-acrobat
But if you can't change the source document design so that the Form Wizard is able to divine where fields should go, there's not a lot you can do.

Autodetect text form fields-How do you get it to find all field areas?

I have 50 pages, all identical. I created in InDesign and its simply just a chart that is about 50 lines with 4 columns. It was created as a table also and very clean. I want each of those cells to be converted to text form fields in Acrobat. When I run the auto detect, it finds every one except the column on the far right and one of the cells on the very bottom with all 50 pages. I really need this to autodetect these or else I will have to do all those missing ones manually and that is a TON I will have to do and give unique names also which I really dont want to do! I have attached a screenshot of the form as is and another showing all the detected fields.

I don't think that there is a way to do, I think your only option is to add manually. If that column is the same size as last one on the right that it detected then you can copy>paste. But beware you may have to rename the field and double check your tabbing order when doing so.
If all your 50 pages have the exact same fields then get your 1st page setup. Then create page 2 and open your pdf with the correct fields, go to Document>Replaces Pages, and select page 2, so the same for all pages and then combine all pages into 1 pdf when finished (seems like a lot of steps but in my opinion faster then doing 50+ pages and however many fields). As long as your 1st page is the exact same field setup as all the rest this should prevent you from having to redo all 50 pages.

Error: The following required field is missing from the launch file: jnlp

PLEASE help me.
I was at Starbuck's today trying to install new software for my new wireless internet card and when I finished I could no longer access any of my applications that require java... I have a macbook pro dual platform computer. When I try to access www.bayphoto.com to download my application it says: (see below) (which I think is strange because it's all about Starbuck's and it should be my java code- I think...). Like I said - I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this. Please help me or at least tell me whom to call- I feel so stupid- I just need help- ATT? Starbuck's? Sun?
