Acrobat XI Windows 7 - impossible (copy and) paste form fields in different PDF.

In order to maintain a consistent look and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few independent form (text, checkboxes) of a PDF Acrobat fields. Then I paste these fields in another PDF document that I am to fill.

I do this because Acrobat does not define a default value for some attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an option deselected scroll, one font by default other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9 and X). Plus, it's save time to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF file, such as name, address, telephone. etc.

We have just upgraded to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I can't paste copied fields on a different PDF.

To help 'replace the pages' is not applicable, as I am sticking to a totally different form and copy the form fields with the settings I use.

Is this a bug or something new that wasn't in Acrobat 8, 9 and X is?

In addition, question about this forum - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - article which is somewhat different from my current question.

The PDF Creator cannot paste fields copied on other pages of the same PDF file. This was never resolved so that copy / paste worked like he did during the last 3 versions of Acrobat?

Thank you!

Yes, it should work with all fields (perhaps with the exception of the signature signature

    I have updated forms pdf contract for over a year now using Acrobat 9 Pro, many forms with many areas.  I copy the previous contract pdf fields, then paste them into the revised contract pdf and then organize the fields a little bit here and there as needed.  Up to 30 fields both by the form.

  • If Acrobat can copy and paste form areas of check boxes with NO link...?

    Greetings,

    In the last v of Acrobat Pro, is this still the case then copy and paste the form and the fields. Al., that one must go through and rename all the boxes to check newly glued or fields so that they are no longer bound?

    If so... why is this the default? Why in the world I would like 10 checkboxes newly glued to check when I click on one of the 10 original? that is when I check the original number 1, glued number 1 controls too? Or if I type the text specific to the field of origin 1, pasted field 1 Gets the same text. If there is an advantage to that, please share.

    Sorry if I seem t - ed, but I'm about to copy 50 check boxes and glue them 5 times and do not savor the idea of having to rename 250 check boxes.

    Come on Adobe, you can do better! You shouldn't have a neandrethal like me to report.

    Thank you

  • Form fields copy and pasting one PFD to another

    Copy and paste form fields of a PFD to another while in form editing mode has stopped working. I did a hundred times and then the second document suddenly stopped to accept my objects to the Clipboard. That's happened?

    I answered my own question by trial and error.

    I worked with excel to create columns that will automatically detect the wizard. I then transferred these columns into a MASTER spreadsheet.

    I had unconsciously tried to copy/paste text fields with the same name as the associated checkbox. It gives me a warning pop - up or anything like that so I could ' t understand why it didn't work. Hope this helps someone who has the same frustration I was.

  • Having a color changing the question when you copy and paste things into a new document

    Hello, I had a question about copying and pasting in photoshop (something I thought I'd be able to handle).  See the screenshots below:

    First with the move selected tool, I went to command + click on the dark blue model below to highlight and select its layer.  Then, in the following screenshot with the marquee tool, I was trying to copy a square piece of 100 x 100 px of the model.

    Screen Shot 2014-12-03 at 4.31.04 PM.png

    After hitting the command + c to copy, and then I opened a new document with the following and click settings on ok:

    Screen Shot 2014-12-03 at 4.36.11 PM.png

    I knocked and then command + v to paste what I had copied the new document that I created.  However, the part gets confused me is that the color of the background pattern that I copied and pasted is now a different color, as shown below:

    Screen Shot 2014-12-03 at 4.27.38 PM.png

    The glued color is obviously much darker than the original.  Anyone know what is happening here?  Very confused.

    Some how you have copied a composite instead of the layer + styles.

    Try this instead, select the layer as you did

    Create a new document as you did

    Use the move tool and drag the document on the tab of the new document with the mouse still down, drag your document down to the new document.

    Because your new document is set to 100 x 100 is what adapts the layer, so you should be good to go.

    If you still have a question of color or something has not transferred correctly let us know.

  • HP Jet 11-D007NA: How do I copy and paste in Windows 10 with left and right keys

    Hi Everyone,                                                                                                                27/08/15

    I know the c control and control functions v for copy and paste with Excel and Word. How do cut you, copy, and move entire folders when you are working in Windows 10? 2 tapping fingers at the same time used to work in point 8.1 of Windows but does not work in Windows 10. I want to move my documents together and download files from my drive c on a memory stick that I have only 32 GB SSD in my book and it is fill up very quickly. I don't want to lose days copy individual files and sticking them in the memory stick. That would be a common mistake. I don't understand why HP had to remove the left and right buttons and make life very difficult for its customers. They probably saved a couple of hundred by getting rid of the buttons in their calculation of costs, but made it impossible for customers to use the laptop in a productive way.

    Have you tried pressing the right and left of the touchpad corners? Most of the models without physical buttons have this function.
