Specifiying Language for Document Properties if PDF Form

In order for a pdf to be 508 compliant it's language must be specified. I've created a form and for the life of me can't figure out how to specify the language for this document such that Adobe Reader knows it's english.  In a pdf NOT created using lifecyle this would be easy. simply go to file > properties> advanced > Language > english. but in pdf forms that section of the properties is greyed out. I tried adding it to the xml like this:<br /> <text name="Language">English</text> in the <desc> tag. Please if you have ANY suggestions they'd be much appreciated.

I wonder if you have seen the form being filled, or a screen shot, so can confirm that Adobe Reader is the app when it is filled? (And not Adobe Reader Touch or a browser or Microsoft Reader or any other app). The reason for asking is that many users (not unreasonably but wrongly) assume that once Adobe Reader is installed it is bound to be used.

  • Choose multiple languages for OCR in a pdf document?

    I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.12) for OCR. Two scenarios:
    1. I have a scanned pdf file, which has English for text, and English and Greek letters for math symbols and formulas. How shall I specify the languages for OCR, so that both can be recognized?
    2. I have another scanned pdf file, which has Chinese for text, and English and Greek letters for math symbols and formulas. How shall I specify the languages for OCR, so that all the three can be recognized?
    Thanks!

    I do not think that is possible.

  • Alternative to webservice for data exchange in PDF (Form Export Rights in Reader)

    Hello,
    I'm exchanging data between my pdf and a web server. Basically, the pdf needs to get some xml string from the web server, alternatively send some xml string to it. This is now done using a webservice, and it works fine with the SOAP javascript object. However, it doesn't work in Adobe Reader, because (quote from the docs):
    "The SOAP methods connect, request and response are available only for documents open in Acrobat Pro and  Acrobat Standard and for documents with Form Export Rights open in  Adobe Reader 6.0 or later."
    It turns out I need to enable Form Export Rights to get webservices work in Reader.
    Now, I was wondering if there's another way to exchange data between my pdf and a web server that doesn't involve enabling those Form Export Rights in Reader.
    Note that I need to be able to parse the response string xml from the web server in pdf using its javascript API.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    James

    Your only other alternative is to POST th einformation to the web server via a submit operation. This is the same as POSTING on an HTML form.

  • Acrobat 9Pro - How to add a submit (to email address) button for an online fillable PDF form.

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but this is my first time trying to add a submit button to the bottom of a online fillable pdf form. I have 5 of these froms to do. I need the user to go to my website, click the link to open an online fillable form, fill it out and click a submit button in the form, so it can be emailed to an individual. I thought I followed all the steps correctly in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, every which way I could find, but the form gives me an error "this operation not permitted", it's in IE, created in Vista and I now have a headache. Do I need to add extra code to my website html somewhere?
    Does anyone have the neccessary steps to make this work, a video would be even better. Do I have to have this LifeCycle Designer thing?
    My url in case anyone wants to see it. http://www.dyenetwebdesign.com/DaysGoneBy/forms/index2.html
    Thanks sooo much!!

    Some comments based on your application:
    1. It looks like might likely exceed the 500 use limit, in that case to not use Reader Rights or you will violate the license. The cost beyond that can be negotiated with Adobe (if they will talk to you), but don't expect it to be check. In that case, submit the form data as and FDF file. This file can be imported into the form at your end and get exactly the same results as if the whole form had been sent. The FDF submission does not require Reader Rights. The parent will still be able to print the form, but saving would require having Acrobat, not Reader.
    2. A lot of the data appears to be personal in terms of the name of children, addresses, etc. It would be a good idea to check with legal counsel about submitting such information by e-mail, particularly for children. E-mail is not generally considered secure, unless you possibly used some form of secure e-mail. For that reason you should consider submitting the data to a web script that would be stored someplace for you to obtain it and possibly send you a notice of receipt. A secure website is preferred for this use. You should keep the option open for anyone to submit the form in paper if they object to the potential security risks with your online submission method.
    I know those put rinkles in your forms, but for such an application it is a good idea to consider the potential consequences if you do not worry about the form security and number of uses. The potential is to put you out of business or more. OK, an extremist view, but worth considering.

  • Mass change needed for document properties

    Hello Techies,
    My users want to upload large amounts of documents and want they also want to set the properties in bulk and not one by one. I have made some properties for these documents.
    The problem is that the mass change report in the portal is not user friendly enough. They want to select a few documents and set them all to the same properties. Webdav does not support this either, nor does DAV explorer.
    Other suggestions?

    Frederik - there is <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9bfc45ba-0b01-0010-4890-da85753f0f58">an article by Martin Hermes about using Excel for property maintenance</a> that outlines one possible custom solution for this.

  • Help! Looking for an iPad app that allows for efficiently filling in PDF forms we create. Know of any?

    I created a quote form for our sales guys to use in the field and we would like them to be able to have the capability to fill it in on their ipads. Is there an app that will let us do the following:
    Fill in a pripriotary form
    Click to next field
    Force character limits so the text does wrap and print poorly
    Edit text after moving on to another field
    Printable
    Send by email
    If an app like this doesn't existion, how much would it cost to commisison someone to create it?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
    Have a look here ...

    (courtesy of googling 'OSX free multitrack recording software')
    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • Content type (Audio) not appearing as choice for document properties in a document set

    We've created a document set for which there are currently 11 Content types. When we upload a document to the document set we have the following problems:
    one of the content types is not available (A customized Audio Content Type).
    we can't seem to set the order in which the content types appear in the list (incomplete though it is)
    we also can't set the default content type for uploaded documents.
    Is there a way to resolve these issues?
    Notes:
    Three are several document sets in the content hub but only one in the library where this content type is used.
    We're running SP2013
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions in resolving this.

    Hi Barry,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the content type called Audio is not available when uploading a document to the document set.
    I recommend to check if the content type is added to the Allowed Site Types of the document set content type.
    Please follow the steps below:
    Make sure that the content type has been added to the library.
    In Library settings page of the library, click Document set content type under Content Types.
    Click Document Set settings under Settings.
    Check if the content type called Audio is included in the Content Types allowed in the Document Set. If not, please add it to the allowed content types.
    Thanks,
    Victoria

  • Output in Customer Language for Service Dispatch Note Smart form

    We have upgraded from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0.
    After the upgrade we are facing an issue in some of our Service related smart forms.
    The version of the driver program is same in both the systems and the smart form is also same.
    The customer's language is maintained in Customer Master data.
    In the un-upgraded system, the forms were printed in the Customer language according to what is maintained in the customer master data.
    But after the upgrade, in the new system, the form is being printed in English as opposed to the Customer language in the older system.
    As I have already mentioned above, in both the systems, the driver program, smart form and Customer Language in the customer master data are similar.
    Kindly suggest me the solution if anyone has faced a similar problem.

    Hi, Actually I have checked in debugging and have come to know that during the upgrade, when I have downloaded the form from ECC 5.0 and uploaded it to ECC6.0, the Language option in the general attributes tab of the text modules is blank and hence the form is displayed in English only.
    Is there any way that I can get the smartform uploaded as it is in the earlier system?

  • Is ADS and PDF forms required for an upgrade to ECC 6.0 for US Payroll?

    We're currently on SAP 4.7 for US Payroll, but are working on an upgrade to ECC 6.0. I'm looking for a clear answer to whether or not we have to move to Adobe Document Services and PDF forms with our upgrade. I've heard from several sources that SAP is not providing updates to SAPscript forms in ECC 6.0 and will only make updates to PDF based tax reporter forms going forward. Can anyone comfirm that is the case?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Dynamically populating a PDF form?

    I've created a form in InDesign that I use in my daily work -- it has several fields that hold information about issues I'm currently working on.  This information comes from a proprietary in-house system that I have access to via JDBC, SQL, language bindings, etc.  I would like to take my InDesign document, create a PDF form with it, and then have new PDFs automatically generated with the data provided by our own database.  I can handle 90% of this, but the Adobe end of it is confusing and (frankly) a bit frustrating.
    I can make a static PDF from InDesign just fine, but how can I create a PDF that is meant to be populated at a later time using external data?  I can put it any format - XML, CSV, whatever you want.  I just don't want to have to launch InDesign every time I want to print a new form.  Launching Acrobat would be fine, if not optimal -- at least in Acrobat I don't have to be careful not to mess up the source document.
    I would love it if Adobe provided a way (outside of LifeCycle - I don't have the money for that) to automate this entirely within CreativeCloud, but I am more than competent with outside programming environments if that's going to be required.
    Can anyone give me some direction with this?

    Irosenth,
    Thanks for the response.  I'm going with option 2.  For anyone finding this question in the future, here's the tutorial video to create an interactive PDF from InDesign:
