Created the doc in InDesign, it's a form in Acrobat, now need to modify original

So I made this document in InDesign and exported in PDF format.  From the PDF file, I used acrobat pro to make the document a form with fields.  I spent a lot of time put into place perfectly and then realized that there is an error on the play that was made when I designed it originally in InDesign.

Question is, how to make this change to fix the error (a typing error) without havig to redo the entire form in acrobat?

I tried to open the PDF in InDesign form, even if I knew, it wouldn't work - and it didn't.

I tried to open the form in Illustrator, which allowed me to make the correction without messing up the form, but also messed up the graphic effects - if it wasn't a go.  Any other suggestions?

It's even easier than that.

Make your corrections in InDesign, export to a new PDF. Open the old PDF and use Document > replace pages and choose the new PDF.

This will replace the old with the new information but leaves intact form fields.

  • How to create the Indesign application with vc ++

    Hello

    I want to ask that how to create Indesign application using vc ++?

    I am able to develop applications in c# using COM and generate an Interop.Indesign.dll using the Adobe Indesign CS5.5 typotheque

    I am sucessfully create instance of Indesign using this code

    Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID ("InDesign.Application");

    Application InDesign._Application = (InDesign._Application) Activator.CreateInstance (type);

    I'm not understanding how to use COM with vc ++ or there is another method to create an instance of Indesign using vc ++.

    or

    How to use Interop.Indesign.dll in vc ++ to create the instance of indesign.

    There is no .tlb file in indesign directory by which I generate .h and .cpp file that I can use in my project.

    I want to create Indesign in vc ++.

    Thank you

    Hi, I'm not a programmer VC ++ itself, so you can't give the code, but I can give some general measures that can you can get and hopefully solve your problem.

    We can use the COM Indesign object to hunting Indesign and its functionlaity of VC ++ or c# and other. What we need to do is import tlb files in our project so that we have the declerations of the methods exposed by the COM of Indesign interface and make a call to them.

    The .tlb file is present at "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\InDesign\Version Visual Support\7.0\Resources for Basic.tlb 7.0\en_US\Scripting. You can use this to create your .h files using the #import statement.

    Once you have created .h I think that you will be able to call the methods of Indesign, of course, you will need to create an instance of the Indesign application.

    Are has some links that might be useful for you.

    Take a look as they discuss the issue that you are facing.

    PS: The .tlb file exists in several places in your system in order to be sure that you use the last LBR. You can search for "resources for Visual Basic.tlb", rename it, and then start Indesign (it must re-create these files that will have the latest model of the object). On Win7 launch Indesign using Admin privelages to other teas file will not be created.

  • Build the query in PLSQL to return well formed XML with multiple records

    Hello

    It's very urgent. I am creating a PLSQL query who must retrieve all records in the table of "tbl_Emp" oracle database in a well-formed xml format. The format is given below

    * < employees xmlns = "http://App.Schemas.Employees" xmlns: xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > *.
    * < employee > *.
    * < name > < / name >. *
    * < Last_Name > < / Last_Name > *.
    * < / employee > *.
    * < employee > *.
    * < name > < / name >. *
    * < Last_Name > < / Last_Name > *.
    * < / employee > *.
    *...*
    * < / employees > *.

    To retrieve data in above format, I tried to create a query for a long time as below

    SELECT XMLElement ('employees',
    XMLAttributes ('http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS 'xmlns',
    (* "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" AS "xmlns: xsi"), *.
    XMLElement ("employee", XMLForest (First_Name, Last_Name)))
    AS 'RESULT '.
    OF tbl_Emp;

    But it does not give me the desired output. It creates the < Employees > tag with each individual record which I didn't need. I need tag < Employees > the root tag and the tag < employee > repeat and wrap each individual record. Please help me in that it's very urgent. Thank you.

    Hello

    Remember that nothing is 'urgent' here, and repeating it will probably produce the opposite effect.

    If you need a quick answer, provide all necessary details, in the first place:
    -version of db
    -test with sample data and DDL cases

    That being said, it's easy, it takes group using XMLAgg:

    SELECT XMLElement("Employees"
           , XMLAttributes(
               'http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS "xmlns"
             , 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"
             )
           , XMLAgg(
               XMLElement("Employee"
               , XMLForest(

  • I have created a form in Indesign. Is there a way to create the default text in a text field that displays the interactive pdf "insert text here" in the text field?

    I have created a form for the company, so that I work. It is a form that will be used in several offices and has buttons, drop downs and text fields. One of the text fields has a requirement that when the PDF file is opened, the text field has something written in there already, as an example (and one only) INSERT the TEXT HERE. I created the text field in Indesign and used the text tool to type in the area of the body-copy required. After that I have to export it as an interactive PDF, text in the text field disappeared.

    Drop-down lists give an option for a default choice, but I don't see a way to create default text in the Panel of buttons and forms for text fields. Is there a workaround or a hidden feature?

    Thank you!

    Set it in Acrobat.

    But, if you place the text to another program like Microsoft Word, click file > Place. Select the file and click Open. Drag-and-drop placement of text cursor to position it on the page.

  • Any attempt to delete page in the doc with sizes of different page in InDesign causes spinning reel

    Hello community!

    I'm on a MacBook Pro and I out InDesign CC 2015.1 (Build 11.1.0.122).

    Example scenario:

    I have a five-page document. Four pages are calibrated at 8.5 x 11 ", the last page is sized 4 x 6. Deletion of a page (any page size is deleted), InDesign goes into mode of non-spinning-reel. It never actually crashed the app. I have to force quit the program EVERY time after that I tried to delete a page manually.

    No matter what are the page sizes or how many pages is in the document, as long as at least a page isn't the same size as all the others, I get the spinning reel and have to force quit the program manually. It also does not matter if there is any content on the pages more.

    I tried to restart the computer for the uninstall and reinstall InDesign, but the same thing happens with old and new documents.

    If anyone else has had this problem or is it just from screwing with me?

    Well, after a quick deletion and tests, I found the shaking at the origin of the problem. In this image, circled in red, is the word "Quick". Notice the little "u"? Earlier today, I noticed when I was doing the changes. InDesign won't let me change the font size or the attack. I think not a lot because I was able to delete it and replace it with a fresh text to a new text box. I didn't think much, except that it is a weird but / quirk I couldn't do much about. Because I had problems with the original doc, I made a copy of it, before I had removed this small 'u' for the other tests and realized that was the common factor between the two documents in the end.

    The problem has been resolved, at least for the problem of spinning reel.

    If someone wants to download the InDesign file with the small 'u' intact to see if the same problem arises for you, I would like to know if you get the same result. Here is the link to the file. All you need to do is delete both pages and see if it does the same thing. InDesign gives me roulette spins when I try to save the file as a. IMDL you will therefore probably need InDesign CC 2015 in order to open it.

    I guess it was just a matter of corruption police of the "u". If anyone has any other ideas as to what it might be, I'd love to hear them.

  • InDesign CC closes unexpectedly when you create the new document

    Hi, my CC Indesign closes unexpectedly whenever I try to create a new document.

    Also, it closes when I use the plugin Blurb Indesign, to create the new document or for download from my books - during the pre-flight, she leaves.

    I've updated to CC2015. I also re-installed the plugin blurb. These two measures do not seem to work.

    • The InDesign file in the cache folder, delete.
    • In the preferences/Adobe InDesign / Version 11.0/en_US (or any language folder you see there), locate the InDesign Defaults file and place it on your desktop (this way you can always copy it back if necessary). If there is a file, InDesign SavedData offers also the office.
    • Restart InDesign after doing that, fingers crossed it will launch.
    • If you are satisfied with the result and don't need your InDesign preferences previous folder (InDesign Defaults), then delete the two files to the desktop computer. I usually keep a copy of them just in case ;-) But 99% of the time that I do not put them back, as clearing caches and prefs seems very often cure the problems.
  • Creating repository and depot (reading the docs but always stuck)

    Hi you all,.

    I want to create a repository with deposits to install some patches on an ESX 3.5.

    From what I read in the docs according to (patch management guide), I created a webfolder vacuum for a repository. Now a subfolder that contains the deposit, but this deposit would need two files, the contents.xml and the contents.xml.sig... where do these files from?

    I know that they are part of the beams, but these new bundels would just subfolders of the warehouse... pls help out me.

    Thanks in advance!

    OK, have done it myself. I downloaded the complete contents.xml (it is referenced somewhere in this forum) and edited. As contents.xml.sig would no longer be valid, I'm using esxupdate with flag - nosigcheck. And I'm going, it works...
