Help!  Can I add an additional field to an existing PDF form?

I have an existing PDF I created from a Word Doc and have made this PDF file in a form with many drop-down list fields, specially formatted fields, fields, ect.

Now I need to add another field of this form (i.e. a table "office use only"), however I don't want to do it in the Word Doc, convert to PDF and then having to recreate the PDF form from scratch, I did a huge amount of work, the creation of all fields in the form.

Is there a way I can make the necessary changes to my Word Doc, covert, he to a new PDF and then merge to my existing PDF, while keeping all the form fields is just to add an additional field that and as I can then turn it into form fields?

I already tried - to create the table in Word, print screen, save it in JPEG format and insert into my existing PDF.  The picture is not as crispy as it should be and looks like a ' add to ' I don't really want to.

The table I want to insert has formatting special meets a company style guide, so I really need to create it in Word to keep the required formatting.

HELP PLEASE!

Hi jlgrobbelaar,

Yes, you can use the Replace Pages to keep all the form fields and scripts, as they are now in your original PDF.  Here is a tutorial on the use of Pages - replace

https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-replace-the-background-pages-in-a-PDF-form

If you add your new field/area to the form results in changes of layout for the form then you may need to move the fields in place, but it's better than having to add everywhere.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

  • Can you help me to insert a JAVA script into an Adobe PDF form I created.

    I have never programmed in Java and need a Java script to insert in a calculation field in an Adobe PDF form that I created using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  This form will be the one that can be filled on the PC or printed and filled out manually.  The calculated field will display a zero unwanted when printing and I want it to be empty.  Another field will be a calculated percentage and displays an error when there is no divider; a similar problem, I want to be a Virgin and the person filing the form manually to calculate the field and write.  I don't have time to learn

    The Excel formula would be: If (Cell_1A = "", "", Cell_1A + Cell_1B)

    What would be the JAVA script in a dialog box "Simplified field Notation" or "custom calculation Script?

    Both of these things require a custom calculation. For the script of the division, you can use something like this:

    var a = Number(this.getField("Field A").value);
    var b = Number(this.getField("Field B").value);
    if (b==0) event.value = "";
    else event.value = a/b;
    

    For the conditional script, you can use this:

    var a = this.getField("Cell_1A").valueAsString;
    var b = this.getField("Cell_1B").valueAsString;
    if (a=="") event.value = "";
    else event.value = Number(a)+Number(b);
    
  • I am creating a total field contingent in a PDF form created by me which will only add cost in total ONLY if the box is checked.  Another disadvantage to this is one of the fields (number of monitors), I am eager to multiply by the field notes.

    I am creating a total field contingent in a PDF form created by me which will only add cost in total ONLY if the box is checked.  Another disadvantage to this is one of the fields (number of monitors), I am eager to multiply by the field notes, which is a field required number on there.

    All of them are select___

    Here are all the names of FQDN (towards the bottom):

    Check the boxes:

    • selectiPhone
    • selectSwipe
    • selectMonitor
    • selectDesktop
    • selectLaptop
    • selectiPadCell
    • selectiPad
    • selectPhone

    Fields of costs:

    • CostiPhone
    • CostSwipe
    • CostMonitor
    • CostDesktop
    • CostLaptop
    • CostiPadCell
    • CostiPad
    • CostPhone

    The notes field that will calculate this is "NotesComputer Monitor in notes". -It is a body of numbers forced the inability to put anything else in it.

    Then add them all in TOTAL COST

    Sorry for my ignorance: it's my first time doing a form like this.

    Since updating Adobe Acrobat app in may on my Samsung GalaxyTab S android version 5.0.2 calculations (add, subtract and multiply) stopped working with pdf forms.  Same shape works well on laptop. Form calculations are still working fine on the laptop using the same forms.  Also worked fine on Samsung Tablet before can update the app.

    Hi herb,

    The calculations do not work as they use Javascript to perform the operation and version 5.0.x Lollipop has problem with Javascript that is fixed in the version 5.1.x.

  • How can I add an additional cc field? I have exhausted the 3 listed, but have to send more people

    Try to add more than 3 people to an email, once exhausted the 3 to/cc/BCC where and how can I add extra?

    As you have discovered there are three visible TO/Cc/BCC fields.
    but this does not mean only three are available.

    These fields even act as if you were typing an email.
    When you want a new line, you can click the enter/return key.

    This type or select e-mail address and press ENTER to switch next to the box.
    When you are on the last entry 'visible', press the enter/return key, and the other one becomes available.

    You should see a scroll bar appears on the right side to see the previous entries.

    You can also just pull down from the top of the section of e-mail content to reveal more if you want to see everything. See picture to show this.
    Put the mouse cursor over the edge to put in place a double arrow head.
    left click and hold to get the edge.
    Slide down to reveal more and release the mouse when it is happy.

  • How can I add a text field for the main menu?

    I have a project with a menu.  He has a title.  I wanted to add an additional track on the menu, what I had done in an earlier draft.  I would have thought he would have intuitively obvious, as highlighting the existing title I and do a copy and paste.  However, I learned that nothing is intuitive with Premiere elements 12.  Can someone tell me how to get a 2nd title on my main menu?  I have done it before, but apparently did not write it and I was faced with that I falsely assumed would take me 30 seconds to accomplish.  Thank you.

    Rick

    Do you really need a second title for the page in the main menu and the selection of scene or you page fixed for your Adobe title in more than one line?

    I wonder

    I wanted to add an additional track on the menu, what I had done in an earlier draft.

    Is it possible that as soon as you use a theme which came with 'subtitle', as the trip/Beach Resort, not all do.

    Workaround for the title with more than one line of text can backfire on you. But you can try. Excerpt from my first items 13 on this blog

    0019 first Elements 13 movie Menu title question: multiple lines of text


    A first elements 13/13.1 user reports that, if it creates a 3 lines of title text for the main menu of the fake big screen theme in the customization area of Movie Maker project, these 3 lines of text eventually "encoded" in the project of reopening after that that there had been closed.

    We have confirmed this report and extended it to include this problem appears for 13 of Menus other than the fake Widescreen cinema. This issue is not seen in first items 12/12.1 and earlier versions.

    BEFORE REOPENING THE CLOSE SAVE

    Figure 1. Main menu of Spring Flower home with 3 lines of text, as seen before the closure of the Reopen

    AFTER THE REOPENED NARROW SAVE


    Figure 2. Spring Flower main Menu title initially with 3 lines of text, as seen from the closure of the Reopen



    The only way found so far to get the final product to have 3 lines of title text for menus in the final product is to customize the theme to the movie Menu in the customization of the Menu movie of the project area, do not save, close the project at this time and can do the burn to.


    Many variables were examined to explain this behavior. So far, no answer for why.

    If you are determined to use a particular theme that comes with the title menu and subtitle, look at the text of the Palette layers layers in the editing menu .psd file (.psd Editor could be Photoshop CS or higher).

    Regarding

    on my project last year that was the menu that I liked with 2 text fields, I have also got rid of the "arrow" shortly before the text that was the menu key.  Anyone know how I do that?  I can't figure that out now.

    Could you be more specific. But, for now, consider... If you Play All text, you double-click to open the text of the amendment, the deleted text, click OK. Play All disappeared. Sometimes, in page and removal of text "main menu" scene selection to the navigation button... double click on the button to open the changes to the text, delete text, press ENTER, and then bar spacing, and click OK.

    Please let us know if everything above the target you wanted to know.

    Thank you.

  • Do BC forms ignore spam? Add an additional field!

    Hey guys, I recently found this article:

    http://nfriedly.com/Techblog/2009/11/how-to-build-a-spam-free-contact-forms-without-Captch as /.

    Why not implement something like that in the current forms of BC?

    Basically:

    -Add the extra field to any form created

    -make this hidden field

    -Turn off autofill (so it isn't automatically get filled in by client)

    -Randomize the name/class of the field

    If the field gets submitted-> ignore the entry if it is not present the scope.

    Spam is a HUGE problem with current Web sites that I work on. I get spam every day through the forms that have no CAPTCHA.

    Problem with CAPTCHA, is that they are UGLY, I still can't fit it with the design of the site.

    Thoughts?

    You must both and you can change the color of the captcha etc. BC also has honey on any new form. Make a new form and display the HTML code. You will see a security in this module. Copy that module and Place in any form you have problems with spam.

    BC has also used Akismet for comments and another series of improvements for them are to come in the Monday release too.

  • Can I add a formula and automatic calculations in a form?

    We would like to put the calculations of formulas och autoomatic in our forms, is - it possible?

    Hello

    Sorry, automatic calculation is not supported on a form of FormsCentral for the creation of the form (i.e. When you create the form in the Design tab).

    However, you can add the formula in the table view responses for responses you collect, or PDF form generated by editing via Adobe Acrobat.

    Please write back if you have any other questions,

  • When you create a form to fill out fields of an existing pdf file, how do you define or allow end users set the font size in the fields?

    I managed to create a pdf form using an existing pdf document.  However, the font size is too large to allow the end user to type information in the form region.  Is there a way for 1) globally and/or 2) allow the end user to change the font size if necessary to put all the information in a box without police being so big & set all form fields when generated a lot more small font size?

    If the form field is created with the 'Allow Rich Text Formatting' option, the use can pull up the 'Properties', 'Ctrl' + E tool and change the format of the text such as the police, size, super/u: script, color, etc.

    Change the size of the text in the field of form (rich text formatting allowed)

  • How to add cut marks bleeding from an existing PDF?

    Hi, I have a PDF of a book (200 pages) that I need to add traces of cutting, offset print color bars.

    May not know how to open the PDF file in Acrobat and adds the marks bleeding.

    The PDF file was saved in Word.

    Please advise...

    The crop, bleed and trim boxes are all the same size. The collection area is defined in the culture dish (choose Tools > Print Production > Set of Page boxes). If the illustration contains a bleed, make sure the culture box is large enough to accommodate the substantive area lost and other printing marks.

    Once this is done, please follow the steps to integrate the printer marks in PDF format

    Choose Tools > print > add printing marks.

    Specify the pages on occasion.

    Specify the parameters and brands.

    Thank you

  • Highlight the fields as default for PDF forms

    Hi all

    I recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which are marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users first click "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is it possible to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?

    See you soon,.

    David

    Put this in the Layout event: loan from the main form (default is form1 in the hierarchy):

    If (! app.runtimeHighlight) {}
    app.runtimeHighlight = true;
    }
