Watermark or Page Mark Question

I am not sure if you would consider it a watermark, and feel free to ask for additional information.
This is what I want to happen.... (currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.1.0)
If when printing out a .PDF form, is it possible to have it print out where it was printed from.
For example, if I printed out some Work Instructions from a computer named Engineering-Comp, it would show Engineering-Comp at the bottom of the .PDF or at the bottom of the PDF?
FYI, I don't mean to hardcode the name of the workstation into the .PDF, because if I printed the same Work Instructions from Sales-Comp, I would want to to automatically say printed from Sales-Comp at the bottom of the PC.

Out of thin air? Where is it supposed to get this information from?
Is it the name of a folder? The name of the computer on a network? The local
name?
If you want, it's possible to define this name manually in a script that you
set up as a folder-level script in Acrobat.
Then the other script (the one that inserts the watermark), can use this
information.

  • IBook converting periods on PDF formatted pages into question marks

    Can someone tell me why iBook is converting periods on PDF formatted pages into question marks in the search function?

    In this particular instance, we are having to build an ebook which utilizes iBook.
    In case in matters, Apple doesn't accept pdf's for the ibookstore.
    You might try different apps for producing the pdf and see if there is any difference.
    But only Apple can change how iBooks behaves.  You can tell them about the problem at

  • How to add a watermark in Pages 5.0

    Hello!
    Could anyone please explain to me how to add a watermark in Pages 5.0
    Thank you

    Hi have found the solution. You need go into the View menu and make sure that you have checked the Show Invisibles option. Once you can see the invisibles, you should see a blue line at the top of the "blank" page with a small "document" icon at the right of the line. You need to delete this blue line/icon which will delete the whole page as long as there are no other "invisible items" which may also need to be deleted.
    I did the above and my blank page disappeared from the thumbnails view immediately.

  • How to create a watermark in Pages?

    I seem to remember there was a process by which an image could be use to create a watermark in pages but there is no longer anything in Help.  Is this still available?

    SG,
    Text Wrap:
    In the Wrap Inspector, with an object selected, you can select "Object causes wrap". The option causes the object to push text out of its way. You are telling me that you don't want this, so make sure the option is turned off.
    Background:
    The background layer is behind the text layer. If you want your objects (graphics, text boxes, shapes) to obscure the text that you type normally, leave the objects on top. If you would like to have the text overlay the objects, then send the objects to the Background.
    Section Master:
    Giving an object Section Master status causes it to repeat on every page of the section. That's every page of the document for most people since the average user doesn't make use of Section Breaks. I asked if your documents had more than 1-page, but I don't think you responded.
    Registration:
    You say you just want to type away on the text layer and have things line up with your background template. Good luck with that. You are going to have terrible problems with the pitch of your text matching the scale of your background object. You may be ok at the top, but by the time you get to the bottom of the page the chances are you will be off a half a line. Better to use Text Boxes and align each one with the appropriate region of the template.
    Dexterity:
    There are ways to deal with eye-hand coordination and steadiness issues. Objects can be shifted by using the arrow keys and they can be sized and positioned by using the Metrics Inspector. And, remember that you only have to do the tedious stuff once. After that, Save as Template
    The biggest problem I have with the new-fangled machines is that they are designed by kids with better vision than I will ever have again. They have no idea how much trouble us old guys have seeing the menus and instructions. The Mac App Store is one of the worst examples, where you can't even resize the text. The universal access tools for the vision impaired in System Preferences don't help me because I can't stand the look, or the loss of font smoothing. For critical work I reluctantly put on the strongest reading glasses and lower my nose to the screen.
    Good luck,

  • Exporting to pdf with page marks and color separations

    Hi All.,
    I have a requirement to export the current document as PDF file. I am using the export provider with the service registry to export the document as pdf file. The code works successfully. Now I have a requirement where I need to save the pdf with color separations and page marks. First I need some information on what does page marks and color separations actually mean for a pdf file. And second I need to know how this could be achieved. Do I have to set some preferences? I have tried setting preference for color , bleed and it works. But I am not sure whether this satisfies the requirement. I would be thankful if someone would suggest me on the same.
    Thanks in Advance
    Vishnu

    Hi,
    In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

    Can you add a watermark to pages and if so how?

    Hi Grant,
    See Page 63 of the  Pages'09 User Guide. (Download from the Pages Help Menu)
    Using  Master  Objects  (Repeated  Background  Images)
    You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in the same spot on every page of your word processing documents. These repeated graphics are called master  objects.

  • Watermark the page on change event

    Hi,
    we wanted to watermark the page on an Eventchange action of a field. Is it possible to do in adobe designer. We wanted the page to have a watermark of it fails in a range validation and say " Test Failed" across the page. Any help is appreciated.

    You should be able to accomplish this with a text field. Set the field
    to have no caption and make the field whatever size you wish your
    watermark to be. Then you can programmatically change the value of the
    field to be "Test Failed" in javascript.

  • Blinking icon mark question :-(

    Hi, my computer show this icon with a mark question blinking before the startup, then I shut it down from the power bottom and then it makes the startup normally. What suggest me.

    When you say you tried fsck and 'nothing', do you mean you ran fsck in single-use rmode and it reported no problems, or that it didn't help? Have you tried running Disk Utility> Repair Disk from the Installer menu after booting from your OS X Install disc? (That gives somewhat more descriptive messages than fsck). You can also reset PRAM by restarting, then immediately after the screen goes dark, hold down command-option-p-r until you hear three sets of chimes, then release the keys. That will reset the startup disk to the hard drive, overriding any possiblly corrupted System Preferences settings.
    Does the 'blinking icon with a mark question blinking before the startup' referred to in your first post occur when you try to restart via the command under the Apple menu or does this occur first time you try to start up from being turned off?

    How do I make a page marker so the module will resume from tha last page, including quiz slides.

    Whow that is a long time ago. If I remember well, even then bookmarking was enabled by default, Resume Data were sent. Did you try it out on the LMS? Because even though all claim to be SCORM compliant, they don't always have all the functionality

  • Ibook page mark and highlight issues

    I had iPad for about 5 months. I had no problem until recently with the page mark and highlight in ibook. I can't seem to mark the pages(no respond) Sometimes it marks the previous page and when I highlight the sentence, it highlights it and also
    highlights couple of streaks all the way bottom of pages on different pages.
    Can anyone help resolve this problems? Thank you.

    Ya, only thing that is odd is that I haven't heard or seen anyone with a similiar issue.  I would think they would make it compitable to a new laptop especially a laptop which they express to have extreme mobility and power.
    Someone else here with a Retina MacBook might be able to report whether they are experiencing problems with IBA on their machine.
    But here is the other issue, no matter what setting I put it on the chapter pages are all broken up with white area in between.  Its really odd.  I have tried deleting and re-installing the application but nothing changes. 
    If you've re-installed IBA, you've probably done all you can. If there is an Apple Store in your area, you could take the MacBook to their Genius Bar and see whether they can help.
    So it seems like a screen size issue, but why wouldnt they fix that.
    Possibly, you are just the first one to notice?

  • Page number question

    Page numbers are not transferring consistently from master pages.  Also, some pages in the 'pages' window have () around them while others don't.  Those with () do not show page numbers on right hand page of two-page spread.  Can anyone tell me what is happening and how I might go about fixing the problem?  Thank you.

    Peter,
    Checked layers - everything in the proper order, still no numbers on several
    document pages.
    Rebuilt the page number marker on the master page causing problems - still
    no numbers on several document pages.
    Over-riding or deletion of the markers would have to occur on the master or
    the document?  I did not intentionally override anything so this may be the
    problem. Though perhaps not because several pages within the document using
    the master in question are showing the right page numbers correctly and
    others are not.
    More information? What do you need?  Thanks.

  • Marking Questions

    Would someone tell me how I mark replies to my questions as helpful or solved? I marked 2 of my previous questions as helpful or solved, but they are still listed as unresolved?
    Greg

    Next to the reply box at the right of each post you will see little buttons with either Helpful or Solved in them. You can click on one and then you will be asked if you really want to mark the post as helpful or solved, once you assent, a yellow (for helpful) or green (for solved) star appears next to the reply section in the post you have marked. Once you award a solved star, your question will show an Answered star in the forum you were posting in. This is how Apple describe it - it's a bit confusing, but solved and answered amount to the same thing:
    What are question answers?
    When a community member posts a question as a topic starter, other members can post an answer in reply. Please note that not all replies actually answer the question.
    An answer can be just some hints or helpful information to help the poster solve an issue. The originator of the topic can mark such a reply as a "Helpful" post. A small yellow star will appear next to that reply and the person who posted the reply will be awarded 5 points. Here's what a reply marked as being "Helpful" looks like:
    If a community member posts a specific answer that provides a solution to the original poster's issue, the originator can mark this reply as a "Solved" post. A large green star will appear next to that reply and the person who posted the reply will be awarded 10 points.
    Only the original topic poster has the option to mark replies as either Helpful or Solved or to not mark a reply at all. The originator can also end the discussion by marking the topic as "answered," which displays a green star at the top of the topic page to let everyone know that the topic contains valid helpful information.
    Note: Only two replies may be classified as Helpful and only one reply may be classified as Solved in any question topic. Non-question topics do not offer these classifications
