  How to edit pdf file (in indesign) without having to re-export then and redo all the fields of the form and formatting?

  Edit PDF files in InDesign is not a good idea. If the file was originally exported ID, then change the original and then create a new PDF file.

  Open an old, and then use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages on the 'old'. The fields that you have already created will remain in place when you do this.

• How to bind the form field in two pdf documents

  Is there a way to link two form fields. 1 document allows the reader to enter the text in the field. However, I would like any document 2 to display the text as well. Is this possible?  Please notify.

  Hi lysaj85192398,

  There is no direct function that can perform this task. But I'm sure you can do this with JavaScript.

  Take a look at this: transfer to another PDF form fields?

• PDF form field calculates the AVERAGE incorrectly

  I have a PDF form field which is defined to calculate the AVERAGE of the other 4 fields. Each of these other areas has its validation configured to allow only the values from 1 to 3.
  
  The average field is dividing the total by 4, even if a person completes only 2 fields. I thought THAT AVERAGE would count only the fields that have a value in them. But it is to see which ones are empty as containing a 0, even if it is an invalid value for this field.
  
  How can I fix? The client really wants to have up to 4 fields and an average of only those that are filled. I thought it was what average was supposed to do.
  
  Is there a way to tell Acrobat to ignore fields if their value is less than 1?

  
  

  I answered this question here: http://answers.acrobatusers.com/PDF-Form-Field-calculates-AVERAGE-incorrectly-q13211.aspx

• InDesign CS5 - you can create editable pdf forms?

  Hey guys

  I'm probably in the hope a little too much here, but in the past, I've created editable pdf forms by setting the entire doc in IDCS3 and then to create the form in Acrobat Pro.

  I don't think that IDCS5 has added a trick new (a little hidden feature) to be able to create all (including fields etc.) in the ID?

  Thanks in advance

  Tom

  No change except that Acrobat 9 Pro did a better job to recognize fields than earlier versions.

• How can I fix a form field after that doc was sent for signature?

  I sent a doc to the signature of a payment to be made.  Account # must be changed, how can I change this field on the form without having to cancel the entire form, create a new after re - enter all the information and then have it signed by the HIGHER-UPS?

  Hello Jtufugafale,

  From now on, it is not possible to change the form fields, once the document is sent. I probably took this as a feedback.

  Kind regards

• How to lock before the send in pdf form but AFTER the validation check

  I have this javascript on my form submit button, (who submits in pdf format).

  Form1. MainPage.Submit::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)

  If (form1.execValidate () is true)
  {
  Form1. MainPage.Submit.presence = "invisible";
  Form1.access = "protected";
  }

  The problem is that I don't want the form fields to be protected until all of the fields have been validated.  After validation, I want the whole pdf locked before the pdf file is submitted.  I have this script the submit events, but he doesn't know the "form1.access ="protected "; "code.

  The PDF can not lock until all required fields have been filled.  It must lock before being submitted so that the recipient of the form may not change it.  I really try to avoid to have 2 buttons submit or a solution along these lines.  I am at a loss, why I can't get the fields to protect inside the script of "If"?

  Hello

  I don't know why the preSubmit isn't catching the change access. Maybe it's too close for the submission process. You would it be in the mouseUp event of the submit button. It fires immediately before the click event, so should be completed when starting the submission process.

  if (form1.execValidate() == true)
  {
       form1.access = "protected";
  }
  

  Note, however, that this locks everything, including the buttons. Once access is changed to protected you will have no way to change back to open, unless you build in a mechanism.

  All of the solution of Paul is preferable, because it keeps it the buttons open, that would be better that the bid may fail and the user may want to resubmit. There are ways around that as well. Overall, I always recommend the solution of Paul.

• Edited PDF form will be not updated for editing from the browser.

  So I was sent a form that I had previously made editable has been changed and I had to add checkboxes and text boxes. After registration and in the browser window, new fields, I added are not allowing me to enter or check them in the browser, but when I open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, all fields are appearing. Is there a special way to save the pdf file to make editable in the browser? I did it once before, and it worked fine so it's a mystery to me at the moment. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Here is the link to the pdf document to see what I mean. All the boxes are here so I don't know why it will not work in the browser.

  Dropbox - contribution form PDF FINAL 2.pdf\

  Help, please!

  I agree with TSN thought that it's a browser problem, such as the MAC preview. I opened your link in my browser and it worked fine.

• Editable PDF form creation

  Hi all

  Can someone help here...

  I'm trying to create a PDF document in Acrobat Pro extended 9, which is a form that can be completed and recorded by the end-user. I have created the document in InDesign and use Pro to add in the editable regions.

  Here is the PDF file: www.leshooperfitness.com.au/pdf/exercise-meal.pdf

  I can open the file, add content to the shape, re - record and retain information. However, I'm having all sorts of problems with other people to save the contents of the file, sometimes it works, sometimes all content is wiped and sometimes the content is there, but you must actually click on a text box until the content is displayed. Other people are sometimes on a Mac/iPad, but even when they use Adobe Reader, they are able to save info and sometimes it remains registered on their machine until it is sent to me, then it disappears. Other times they save and when they go back to it, it's gone. But it doesn't seem to be a pattern of consistent, it doesn't seem like a very reliable registration information means.

  Anyone know what I could do wrong? Or, is there a more effective way to create editable, interactive forms?

  Thank you

  The problem see you with the content not displayed until the field has focus is a problem well known forms PDF which were filled and registered with the app Preview on Mac. For more information, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  Thus, users of Mac (OSX) should use Adobe Reader, rather than the preview. Windows users do not use an as well as capable as Acrobat/Reader Viewer, so you make want to check also.

  On the iPad's default PDF Viewer does not support interactive PDF forms, so you will need to use a viewer that does. Adobe Reader for the iPad does not at the moment, and the best which is Expert PDF of Readdle.

• How to create interactive form fields

  Hello

  I am trying to download a PDF forms Central is the message I got:

  Cannot import FormsCentral the document PDF because it does not contain interactive form fields. You must add fields to your PDF using Adobe Acrobat and import again.

  ? How can I fix it and try again?

  I have the original file open, I talk for objects tools / interactive? or choose another header/subject.

  Thank you very much for your help! TY

  Hi rilanab49377272,

  If you have Acrobat, you will use the component shapes on the tools Panel to add interactive form fields to the PDF document. If you do not have Acrobat, you can download a 30 day trial of http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. To help you get started, here are a few topics help on the use of forms in Acrobat: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/topics/forms.html.

• How to edit a form

  How to edit a pdf form

  Hello Sharon,

  This task is not possible via Adobe Reader, Adobe reader is supposed to read PDF and not for editing or modifying the software.

• Remove or disable the duplication of value for the PDF form field

  Hello

  How can I remove or disable replication of field value in a PDF form? Say, if you enter the address on a single page, it is duplicated at the address on another page. For some reason whoever created this form, made a mistake of linking to the wrong field. Say so a management office address is bound to the address of the owner.

  We have acrobat 8 and the latest version X.

  Thank you

  Make sure that the fields do not have the same name.

  I can't understand how to place a fixed cost in a form field or calculation of entry so that the number of tickets is multiplied by a fixed number and gives me a subtotal.

  Thank you.
