Best workflow for updating of interactive forms initially created in InDesign

Abdoulaye

Using InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X (10.1.4)

I created an interactive form 2 page with InDesign exported as an interactive PDF Acrobat applied fields scroll, names twisted the color of the text and fonts, etc.

But now, I'm not sure of the best way for the form to have some updates that actually change the layout a bit, I think I have to work from the original InDesign file once again, but how to avoid having to recreate all the fields I added in Acrobat.

Just trying to create an efficient workflow, start from scratch does not seem the best option.

I made the spaces that contain the fields in the form of white rounded corners and shadows on a color background in order to consolidate the brand image, however all this in InDesign and I now "you wonder if it's a good idea.

So now demand additional two drop-down lists and a medium additional field I have to adjust the design layout, I don't think that can be achieved in Acrobat.

You can copy text from one PDf to another fields and retain all properties? Suppose so I set the background and copy the fields in place.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Replacing the old pages with the new, it is how this situation is most commonly treated. It preserves not only the fields, but also other interactive elements that you have such as bookmarks and links. Any code at the level of the document, you add and document actions remain as well.

Fields can be copied a page at a time, but before 11 Acrobat, are not glued in place, so you may need to do some repositioning. This generally results in the smallest file size, but can be tedious.

Regarding everything in InDesign, CS6 can be implemented in the fields, but there are a number of limitations and bugs that reduces the usefulness of this feature. For example, to set the font for a field or add JavaScript actions.

  • Best "workflow" for Sony A7sii and GH4 - Res Pro or DNxHD?

    Hi all

    I'm filming a documentary of 90 minutes on a Sony A7sii like Cam 1 and a Panasonic GH4 camera 2. 23.97fps to 3840 x 2160. We need to have 4 k options for future use. We will very likely use a certain amount of purchased both action sequences. I am currently working on what happens to be the best workflow with final export to the spirit. I need to export the final movie in Res Pro Apple or DNxHD - and I'm trying to figure who is going to be the best from start to finish.

    I'll be transcoding footage in function in order to make the workflow on the timeline as fluid and less tax on the processor as possible but also ensure final best made possible. I found that editing in the formats of native files (4 k) of each camera - even when the parameter/scaling to the size of the image - is very heavy on the processor and he staggers scouring or reading. So should I choose HQ or DNxHD pro.

    Also - on this basis, should what sequence settings I use? Creating a sequence of the clip with a Res Pro first clip gives me preset film Arri. Seems the timeline without effort on playback and scrub.

    Thanks in advance!

    ProRes 'was' standard in the Apple world, so became very common. DNxHD/R/HQ options are really become as well or better for most uses, it is just newer. On my PC, DNxHD cut almost as quickly as Cineform and a little faster than ProRes. They are sorta close... and is the guarantee of a your mileage MAY vary!

    So do a few quick tests. A few hours transcoding in two or three choices, then to the same projects, applying the same effects (while taking note of reading), then export on and schedule exports will give you an answer for you.

  • Best workflow for the customer who wants to make changes of long text in Word

    Maybe this isn't a question of InDesign itself, but I thought you'd be able to help me. I work with a client who is happier typing in Microsoft Word (Windows). I get his text as a Word document, I create the pages with InDesign, send them to PDF and then makes a change of text in the Word document and sent me the new file.

    What is the best way for me to catch all the changes and bring them into InDesign properly?

    Hello

    -You can select a preference (which is disabled by default) that placed treaty text as link-, so that when the link is updated (IE your client makes changes to the word document), the link can be updated in Indesign.

    However, if you change the text at the same time, your changes will be overwritten by the new incoming word document.

    You can also watch it in a product called WordsFlow by Em Software...

    Kind regards

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

  • Best method for updating CompactRIO data to Server "National Instruments.Variable Engine.1"

    Hi all, I have an OPC Client of third-party I want to use for testing with the CompactRIO. Can I specify 'National Instruments.Variable Engine.1' in the OPC server, create a new item of the mutual FUND, go to a variable and then see its value. I use a CompactRIO and I want to send the updated data that I am acquisitionning of for third-party Client OPC, then, what is the best method? Currently, what works, is that I created a shared variable published to network on the LabVIEW host that I dragged in the CompactRIO project. I've created a small loop increment value every 500ms. I then created on the host computer, a little VI, who issued this national value to "" Instruments.Variable Engine.1". Now, is there a better way to do his? Is it something that can automatically fill in manually the Variable of the CompactRIO motor without publishing the shared inside a LabVIEW application variables? Thank you for your time, best regards!

    Thanks a lot for your replies, Drew,.

    I downloaded the OPC UA API and it will next week.

    Thanks again!

  • What is the best "workflow" for sharpening Ultimate w PSE 8?

    I shoot a lot of flowers near upward and also birds. Both have lots of details, feathers or Stamen, so I rely heavily on the sharpening. With birds, sometimes they are flying or remote or both, which makes it difficult to get sharp photos. Recently, I learned a lot about sharpening and now I am suffering, "I know, more I know that I don't know." In addition, some of my information is based on rumor and I appreciate all the advice. What would you say if I discuss my work flow and ask a few questions here and there.

    I shoot RAW with a Canon 7 d and I almost always reduce my photos to nnnn x 1080 for that conversation, lets assume that I always do this downsizing. I heard that reduced pictures should never be sharpened up to the once they are reduced. Is this true? Should I set all sliders sharpening in ACR to zero? Should I also keep the low clarity slider in ACR or is it more your contrast medium and less sharpening? Is there another way to improve the clarity in PSE, ACR not?

    When I finished with the cab and open in the elements, the first thing I do is crop and resize using Image, resize, bicubic sharper. Then I correct the imperfections. Then, I select on the subject (s) and adjust the curves of colors and then light sharpening, which seems to give me the best results that Enhance-setting sharpness. (After two years of use of items I found this bright sharpness and it's so good. I wish I would have notice this Brundage in the earlier book. I did ask me what I'm missing.) After light sharpening should I try high-pass sharpening more or any other type of sharpening? Is there empirical rules on what kind of sharpening works best in which application? For example, I heard another rumor that sharpening of the strong or the shadows just increases noise. Is there a good way to handle these situations, as select out them, or use a special blending mode?

    After I'm done with the subject, I usually reverse in the background and noise and/or blurr and Desaturate to puncture the subject.

    Is Photoshop complete necessary to get the best sharpening tools or sharpening similar and other aspects are more powerful? I use so little of 8 items that I guess and hope that Photoshop or Lightroom would be overkill at this stage.

    Thank you very much for this review! If you can think of anyway I could improve, I would really appreciate any comments.

  • What is the best software for this matter of form?

    I have a project for which I think Adobe have a solution, but I want to assure you that I have buy the correct software. I searched the forum but quite impossible to find the right answer.

    I want to be able to create a form that can be completed electronically, has captured for analysis of the data entered and then be able to print a paper copy of the completed form.

    What I understand from what I have read so far, I can create a form with Acrobat and distribute it in PDF format. Once the form is completed on-screen and submitted, the data will be captured by forms Central where I can analyze it. The person who completed the form and then print it as I need a signed paper copy. The completed form by e-mail, in which case it is completed on an i - Pad and can be sent to a place that can print?

    Finally, I need about 750 of these completed forms. Forms Central allows only 500 participants by the form, I think, but, with the right subscription can I distribute 2 identical forms and then export and merge data in, said Excel?

    Or Livecycle will do all what I want.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    With the basic plan of FormsCentral, the maximum number of answers in the table of responses at one time is limited to 500, but you can earn more if you export the responses and remove some of the table. If you get the plan, this number increased to 5000. So the question is to know if you think that you will be able to export before the response table fills up. But there is also a buffer zone so that all submissions over 500 are always saved, they are simply not shown until you remove a part out of the way, so no data is lost.

    Users will be able to present, print, save and email if you wish. They use Adobe Reader on the iPad, which is not the default PDF Viewer and cannot be made the default display.

  • Best option to create interactive forms for Ipad

    What is the best option available to create interactive forms for an ipad? I read that you need another application like PDF Expert etc... to fill out your forms. This isn't a good workflow for me. I need to create an html form that I put in an article in Indesign and then export to DPS?

    You must write in HTML and then place it either superimposed article or web in your publication. Adobe Captivate can be used to do this, see http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2012/10/16/using-adobe-captivate-projects-in-dps-folios/.

  • "Workflow" for Slow Motion DSLR

    Hi, I've been experimenting with the creation of idle smoothly in a calendar of 1080/25 and questioned on the best workflow. (I used a Canon 70 d, stipulating that 50 frames per second at 720)

    So: Chronology 1080/25 Pro Res FCP7 (majority of the 1080/25 source footage)

    I want to add a short section of idle and for that I shot in 720/50 - but of course it is made at 25 frames per second when added to the timeline and playback is stuttering when 50% of the speed value.

    So I sent the clip (at 50%) to 4 Motion and applied optical flow - this provided a smoother playback

    (I tried to optical flow on a clip of 1080/25 to 50% but reading stuttered slightly)

    I just wanted to confirm if it is the best workflow for idling smoothly.  Also when I tried to apply the optic flow on a second Motion 4 already 'optic flow"selected clip, but when I clicked on that nothing happened - I had to close out Motion and start over with the clip under a new name.

    I recently created a project of 15 minutes in CS4.  I burned to a DVD it and it plays smoothly on a computer and DVD player.  I had a room full of people and a laptop to play the DVD on the LCD projector and the video was stuttery - fast motion, motion to correct and vice versa.  It wasn't horrible, but I noticed it.  What is the best workflow for out highest qualtiy and better reading for projector?  I started with downsampled and HDV film he MPEG-DVD.  I customized the max 8 preset and target to 5.  Flash look and work better?  I don't know what brand and model, the projector was because it was mounted to the ceiling.  I noticed this problem once before on another projector, even laptop.

  • Best workflow (PAL) to convert interlaced to progressive DV HDV?

    Question - what is the best workflow (PAL) to convert interlaced to progressive DV HDV?

    Software: Pr, en and Ae - CS4 all.

    My camera: (Sony Z1) shoots HDV 1080i.

    When capture and editing, I keep all the HDV and intertwined.

    Premiere Pro:

    1. Capture HDV - mpeg 1440 x 1080 (1.3333)
    2. Sequence - HD 1440 x 1080 (1.3333) anamorphic 1080 (1.333) Upper Field First - (HDV Preset 1080i25)

    Once editing is complete, I have dynamically link sequences in Encore.

    Question - I dynamically link to yet or export the sequence of Pro?

    If you're not a fan of dynamically link sequences and think export Premiere Pro sequences is the way forward, please advise best export settings.  I guess that in the export (from Pr) is to convert from interlaced to progressive HDV DV takes place?

    At the present time, I dynamically link sequences in Encore.  This means handles even the gradual conversion of DV.

    Question - what are the best settings for transcoding (yet) to transcode HDV 1080i25 to DV widescreen progressive?

    I tried for many workflows, but for now, I was not 100% satisfied with any of them.

    I find this a challenge to take HDV 1080i and produce a beautiful DVD IE minimum artifacts and interlace jitter.

    I used to downconvert to DV in camera during the capture process, but I find that I get much better results by editing in HDV and downconverting during post.  That's what my post is really all about finding the best workflow for this.

    I'd be very keen to learn how others are shooting and editing in HDV to then produce best-high quality DVD.
