• Change a secure interactive PDF form without regenerating the form?

  I have a client who needs for me to make a minor change to a form of the PDF in interactive of passwords, that we have created for her. I have the password, of course, but Adobe Acrobat let me know the password without first saving the form as a copy. This, however, strips all the interactivity of the form. I don't want to have to redo all the fields to make this minor change, and I guess that I missed the obvious method to enter the password.

  So, how to disable the password without wipe interactive fields so that I can make the change then save the form again with intact security and interactive form fields?

  Save as copy, edit the PDF file, then extend features in Adobe Reader (under Advanced) all your form fields should reappear.

  OK, Acrobat and the Acrobat SDK kit are not for the server. But Alice has produced s called LiveCycle business that had a Java API. This can help. It's enterprise software and not the same as LiveCycle Designer. There is also the Adobe PDF Library, which is C++.

• 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,

• 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);
  

• How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Help, please! Thank you!

  How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Here's a sample:

  _ Digital Signature___ (signs), Date (Auto-remplit)

  Under field properties of the signature on the signature tab, you can use a custom script, like this:

  this.getField("Date").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

  You know, however, that a digital signature always displays the date and time, it has been applied?

• I have a form downloaded, and when I try to fill the spaces I can't. The form is scanned by HP printer. I think it's the pdf form. How to fill in the blanks?

  I scanned a form and when I open it with Microsoft Works word processor processor, I can't fill in the information. It scanned on a HP printer scanner and it appears as a tiff document, but I can't complete the informatim.

  Hello

  TIFF format means "Tagged Image File Format" you can not change or fill in the text in this format. I suggest you download the. PDF form once again and then fill out the form and save it and then parse the file to TIFF.

  Alternatively, you can try to convert the file to TIFF to word. I suggest you to search Tiff converter for word online and try to convert.

  With the help of third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.

• Display PDF forms with black background

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I use Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. Now my downloaded pdf forms that can be completed online or after the backup are evidence of a black background and all the data I find is barely visible.  Usually, the background is white and the data are blue. In addition, the fonts are blurry. I tried to repair the installation of Acrobat and it did not help. Any suggestions?

  Post edited by: Cari Jansen - title edited more indicative of the issue.

  Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 10, so problems are to be expected.

  For best results, you must use Acrobat XI or DC.

• Text no autosize in PDF form

  Hello

  I use Acrobat Reader for Macintosh to fill out a PDF form for a University assignment. On previous assignments, I was able to type in a form field, and the text would be autoshrink to account for the size of the field that I completed my answers. Now, when I type to fill in the field of the custom of text autosize and I am limited to the size of the field with the default font size.  A previous posting, I had problems of edition and I think that maybe I changed a parameter while I was trying to solve the problems, but for the life of me I can't find anyway to restore the functionality of automatic resizing. What I've read on other issues on the Acrobat forums, the characteristics of the fields are locked by the creator of the PDF, but the file is part of the same workbook that we used all the semester so that leads me to believe that maybe I changed a parameter along the way to kill the automatic resizing! Any help is appreciated because at this point, many of the fields are too small for me adapt the required responses in!

  Thank you

  Chris

  Which is defined by the creator of the form. They just missed a few strands.

• PDF form: error message on the button to submit the form

  Hi all

  Has joined the forum late last night (late midnight) and I am so grateful for the quick response from many of you

  the questions on the forms PDF which gave me mouth hanging open.

  Here are my recent puzzle:
  Why I get a "this operation is not allowed" when I have my button submit the test form?

  I'm after a video from You Tube to the T:

  All properties > Actions > Mouse Up > Sumbit form > Add: mailto: [email protected] > PDF of the entire Document > OK
  Then I'm saving the document with the new version, opening name to the test drive since my clients will not have Acrobat Pro.

  and several times, continue to receive the error message. And the strange thing is that on previous versions, I'm sure I had it working

  properly at a given time.

  Any help much appreciated.

  It will do when you use a version of the player before 11 reader if the document is not compatible drive. When you send the complete PDF file, it should be saved first, something only 10 player and front normally cannot do. Acrobat and Reader 11/DC do not have this restriction, so that they are able to submit complete PDF forms that have not been activated drive.
