Text files don't show on fillable form after saving on a mac

I have a fillable form with text and check fileds on it, if a user filles it on a windows pc and saves it all works fine, but if a user does the same thing on a MAC then the text fields don't show.

Avoid touching any PDF (in particular any PDF form file) with Preview.
Be well...

FLV file don't show on iPhones, iPads, etc.

I'm on a iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 processor running 10.6.8. I build websites using Dreamweaver CS4 and all my media files are FLV files. I've noticed that none of the media shows on a iPhone, iPad, etc. Is there a media file format that I can use that works for browsers and will show on iPhones, iPod, etc.? I also noticed that SWF file don't show either. Any direction would be helpful.

Those are Flash content types. Flash doesn't exist on iOS, and won't exist on any future mobile platforms, according to Adobe.

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Hi Jeneesh,
Thanks for the reply.
I need to clear the form after saving and also I made the Update Allowed property to 'NO' as client per requirement. So, every time after saving the form, I am getting an error message 'Update is not allowed on this form' . in order to avoid this message after saving I want to close this form and open it again.
Also I need to clear the datablock. where can I clear the datablock after saving it.
Thanks
Sai.

There is any way to let one page of the final pdf exported file editable?

Hi there
You haven't seen any replies because you posted this to the Captivate forums. Hang tight and I'll move it over to the InDesign forums where it may gain some traction.
Best of luck in finding a solution! Rick

Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up. Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

I know!!! This is so frustrating. I have attached the document.
Maybe you can try to type in it and see. I used the default font, but I
did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me! Thank you!

What are the text files that suddenly showed up in the Preferences folder?

I just noticed a group of text files in the Preferences folder that I haven't noticed before. All of them were created within a 3-minute period on 12/31/2008. The names are in sets of 4 or 5 that follow this scheme:
np_334572current
np_334572services
np_334572servicesnew
np_334572sets
np_334572system
The default app to open these is Property List Editor.
They haven't been modified since they were created, even though I've been adding, deleting, and modifying apps and their preferences since then. Anybody know what they are? Can or should I delete these?
Thanks in advance.

Dick,
To be honest I don't know what program they are related to. However If the files are located in ~/Library/Preferences (Where is ~ = your home directory) Then You should be safe in moving/deleting them, at worst you will have to reset the settings in one of your apps. What that folder is mainly used for is say for example you have your dock show/hide it self. That will be saved to a plist file in the preferences folder. If you delete or move the dock's plist out of there your dock on your next login will go back to the default view of Mac OS.
Now To be honest you don't have to move/delete those files that are there, especially since at most you will probably reset some of the preferences you set in an application. But its up to you. Also you could always move it first to see what app it is and either move it back or delete it later.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Uploading data to BW from a TEXT file , string fields show error

I am trying to upload a TEXT file to SAP BW:
City     Value   Date
City1    100.00   20060101
City2    200.00   20060102
City3    300.00   20060103
The text file has 3 fields:
City (CHAR -STRING)
Value (Numc)
Date   (Dats)
I have defined a file source system, the infosource and the datasource in order to upload the text file to BW.
When uploading the infopackage of the text file, an error appears for the infoobject of type CHAR (STRING).
The PSA is loading the record but it is in RED status showing that the characters are not allowed in the CITY field.
The upload is made right if i substitute the string with a number, then the upload shows the green light.
I need to upload string values to the CITY infoobject in my infocube, but the infopackage shows the red light when the text file includes characters like 'City1', it only permits numbers in the CHAR field.
Please help me in order to upload a text file with CHAR (string) values to BW.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
I am working with CSV files.

Hi Cempro,
Always remember, the input file should have upper case letters. In your case, you have given in lowercase , so please change to upper case and run the Infopackage again. This should go fine.
note: If the input file has lowercase letters, it need a different approach, meaning, you need to check few boxes. So, to avoid all thet, just change in your input file and just run the Infopackage.
Remember, to do an ENTER at the "input file" section in the "external data" tab in Infopackage screen. This way, you are instructing the Infopackage to use the newly changed file.
Thanks,
Raj

Where to put the GIF/JPG files so they show up in Forms Developer

Hi:
This refers to Forms 10gR2; Forms Builder running on Windows XP......
Where do I put the GIF and JPG files referenced by the "iconic filename" property so that they show up in Forms Builder? By placing them in the jar file, I can get them to appear at runtime, but NOT in development!
I have tried putting the files in the same directory as the FMB, as well as in C:\DevSuiteHome_10g\forms\java (where the image jar file resides).
In each case, I have included the path in the FORMS_PATH environment variables.
Thanks

Hi,
For design time, you need to use the UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION environment variables. Set them in the registry.
UI_ICON=location where you have the image files.
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=Extension of your image files (ICO / GIF / JPG)
Edit :
Refer : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gnewfeatures.pdf
Search for UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION

MP3 files don't show album artwork unless I move them to another directory. Why?

I am running 10.8.3.
If I navigate to a folder that has an MP3 file in it, the album art doesn't show in Finder or in Quick Look or Cover Flow. If I move that file, anywhere, it shows correctly. There is one artist that I had spelled the name incorrectly, and now that the two albums from that artist are relocated to a new folder because the name changed, the artwork is fine for them.
I have read some other threads about people having trouble embedding artwork, or it not showing up in Finder properly but the issue doesn't seem to be the same as what I am experiencing. I know the images are embedded because of the fact that when I move them around, they work perfectly.
Is there a cache that can be cleared regarding this perhaps?
Does anybody have any ideas?

If the album art is embedded in the MP3 file in an APIC frame of an id3v2 tag then the music player will display it.

Songs don't show up in Library after a drag and drop

I want to put some music on my daughters networked imac.
( right now we have her music 'shared' across the network) I want her to have more control of her music so she can make playlists etc (she is getting a nano unbeknownst to her )
When I drop mp3 files into her iTunes folder they don't show in her library.
Am I going about this the wrong way??

Now I see the problem. I did not read your first post thoroughly enough.
You already wrote they show up in the iTunes folder.
iTunes doesn't recognize songs that are added this way.
The most convenient way would be to copy the files to a folder on the desktop and after you're done, to drop that folder on the Library icon or the Library in iTunes.
If 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' in Preferences>Advanced>General is checked, iTunes will copy those files to the proper place.
Afterwards you can trash the contents of the folder on the desktop.

IPod Songs Don't Show Up in iTunes After iTunes 6.0.2 "Upgrade"

After installing iLife '06, and the iTunes 6.0.2 "upgrade" that came with it, the contents of my 4th Gen. 40 Gb iPod don't show up in iTunes. The iPod mounts on the Desktop OK, and even shows up in the Source list in iTunes 6.0.2. And I can unmount the iPod by clicking on the little up arrow icon in iTunes. But iTunes reports only 919.2 Mb used and 36.33 Gb free in the iPod.
I tried copying a song from my iTunes Library to the iPod, and it showed up in iTunes. But when I unmounted, then remounted, the iPod, it no longer showed in iTunes. It was on the iPod, however.
I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (iPod Updater 2006-01-10) but that didn't help.
I ran Software Update and it didn't find any software that needed updating.
I repaired disk permissions and Shutdown, then powered back up and restarted. Nada.
The iPod mounts fine on my G4 AlBook running iTunes 4.9, and the contents of the iPod are also visible in iTunes 4.9, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on the iPod.
Don't know if it matters, but all of the music on my Mac and on the iPod was ripped by iTunes from CDs (that I own).
Anybody else seeing this?
Is there a fix?
TIA,

This might be a quick and dirty method.
We're trying to force iTunes to rebuild properly.
With iTunes not running. Make a copy of the library database file (iTunes Library).
Try deleting the iTunes Library file. Start iTunes. Does this then show the missing tracks? To get the original playlists back you can import from the original xml file that you saved.
If you need to get back to the start point just delete the newly created database and .xml files and go back to the originals.

Cannot fill in a fillable form, AR 9.3.3, Mac OS 10.6.2

Using a Mac with 10.6.2, just updated to Reader 9.3.3.
I have downloaded a PDF that is supposed to have filable form fields. The forms properties say the Filling of Form fields is allowed.
I can get my cursor to blink in each field but cannot get text to that field.
I have tried PDF/A - Never, does not help.
Appreciate some help.
thanks,
Rob

First, ignore that. It just says that IF there are fillable fields, you would be allowed to fill them in but doesn't mean they exist.

What tool do you have selected when you click those fields. You should have the hand tool selected. If you ave that selected and mouse over a field, what happens.
Also, if it were a fillable form, you should have gotten a message to that effect unless you have that message disabled.

Why can some fillable forms be saved while others can't?

Do I need to have a more advanced program to always be able to save data on fillable forms?

Here's some info on how to use that feature.

Locking a fillable form after input?

I have created a form in Acrobat that contain digital signatures and other fields. I have enabled the Extended features as well. I would like to be able to have the end user lock the file after inputting the requested data and digital signatures are completed. So far, I have determined how to do either but not both.

If using digital signatures, it is best and easiest to opt to lock the form after the last signature field is signed. The user can manually select this option, or you can preconfigure the field using the field.signatureSetSeedValue method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.757.html
