• InDesign, interactive form (PDF) & radio button appearance problem...

  I'm working on an interactive PDF using InDesignCC x 64 form, and I need to have "a selection only choice ', I use the radio button. But the customer want them look like checkboxes.

  No problem: I know how to customize but... But... BUT... Appeareances custom of the option button will not appear only in Acrobat (instead, I got the default appearance of the radio button circular).

  I checked build-in the option box of indesign library (from 010 to 024) and got the same result. The only way I've found is to re - edit my form with Acrobat, and then change the property in 'square' instead of circle (but still can't get my custom appeareance). But as my form contains several pages and a huge amount of people, not mentioning several upcoming release, I would prefer not having to change anything with Acrobat and stay inside Indesign.

  This isn't my first form and I'm not really a newbie, but on this one, I'm totally distraught...

  Hope that someone from the community will be able to help... (I got 7 of those to do 48 hours... Perfect timing )

  All updates using product Adobe (x 64 / win 8.1)

  Does someone have an idea from the status?

  After that several tests on different computers (Mac & PC) it seems that the problem happens only on Acrobat Pro. Not on Acrobat Reader... So it will do the trick, but the Adobe team should take a look at this...

• Interactive form, selecting checkboxes, want only option to click one

  I have an interactive form put in place in Indesign CS6 and have muliple checkboxes, I don't appear when you click the value, however our customers she want so that when it is clicked on it will not let you click on others, so bascially is there are 10 check boxes, only allow you to 1-click.

  Kind regards

  Mark

  Just found a possible solution if someone else gets stuck on this.

  Saved as a PDF interactive using radio buttons, and then opened in Acrobat and in the properties of the radio button, and then under 'options' changed 'style of button' to 'check' and that seemed to work.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Need complete information about the construction of interactive forms in IDCS6

  Need complete information about the construction of interactive forms in IDCS6

  Where could I get the most thorough training for the creation of interactive forms in IDCS6?

  I need a tutorial that covers all the basics of the beginning to the end and the rules that cannot be broken. I thought I learned enough today to write one, but it appears there are holes in my methods I discovered tonight.

  In fact prices of Claudia on Lynda.com is about creating forms with Acrobat X Pro, and she finished before InDesign CS6 was available.

  Anne-Marie Concepcion discussed creation of forms in his new functions in InDesign CS6 video Lynda.com.

  But Sandee Cohen wrote an article dynamite in the current issue of InDesign Magazine on creating forms in InDesign CS6 which is very comprehensive.  The magazine is not available for free.

• Some issues related to the digital signature on an interactive form

  I just finished a contract of interactive advertising with a 128-bit encryption allowing recipients to submit CC of information securely to our publishing company. Even if the form in the upper fields allow to type the name of an authorized person, the signature on the bottom line is having problems because so that everyone to sign, they need a digital signature.

  (1) is it necessary? If so, is it possible to automate it for customers, so they do not have to go through the process of creating one?

  (2) how to create a digital signature for my partner and have the form SUBMIT button channel back to his address of e-mail instead of mine (which it does because of another interactive form, that I created in which I was the person for returns)? I couldn't find anything in the 'properties' of the OK button that allowed me to enter an e-mail address.

  I thank very you much for your help here. It's time-sensitive, because we need get the package ASAP.

  1 if you need a digital signature, then set up a digital ID is required to sign a digital signature field. So the question is really more fundamental: you need people to sign the form with a digital signature? If you say yes, what are the reasons?

  2. If you use the distribution process in Acrobat so thatt you can collect form data in an answer file, you should distribute the form using the other person with Acrobat installed on machine.

  If you don't want to do this and you want to only collect the documents returned without putting the data in an answer file, you can configure your own submit button using any email address you want and that you do not use the distribution process. You must activate the document reader and then send or otherwise get for users. How to configure the Send button depends on how you want it to run exactly and which version of Acrobat you are using. More information can be found here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified

  If you want to continue to go through the process of distribution and want to change the email address it uses, you can change it to: Edit > references > identity > Email address

  You will then have to redistribute the form with a copy of the form as it existed before your first distribution. The answer file will be on your machine.

• Interactive form fields within a table

  Hello

  I use Indesign CC on a pc.

  I create interactive forms structured in a table.

  Forms are in the format of project and constantly evolving with the lines of the table of content added or deleted.

  How to anchor various checkboxes, radio buttons and text fields, so that they remain with their corresponding table cell/row, so I don't have to realign the interactive fields with each change?

  Thank you

  Sue

  You can anchor their cell by dragging the frame of the blue anchor on each button at the front of the end of the marker in the history.

  

• Interactive forms and style of these forms

  I just saw a topic concerning a sensitive form, but what about an interactive form? I tested the forms eloqua provides and the function of what they are built for, but I don't see an option to make them interactive.

  For example, I want to ask for

  • name
  • family name
  • E-mail
  • do you like beer?
  • Yes
  • None
  • If Yes, then
  • do you like the wine?
  • Yes
  • None
  • If not,
  • do you like cola?
  • Yes
  • None

  Such a thing is still possible as part of Eloqua? Or should I make a shape outside Eloqua?

  Apart from this issue, I would also like to know if it is possible to add style (css) to a form of Eloqua? They do not seem their appearance just to meet my expectations, but I can imagine that there is little customization possible?

  Mike

  This achievable outside of eloqua using the simple HTML and javascript/jQuery.

  Copy the following code for jquery

  $(document) .ready (function () {}

  $(".beer").click (function () {}

  var beer = $(this) .val ();

  {if(Beer=="Yes")}

  $(".div1").fadeIn ();

  $(".div2").fadeOut ();

  }

  else {}

  $(".div2").fadeIn ();

  $(".div1").fadeOut ();

  }

  })

  });

• Dynamic XFA forms and Acrobat Professional

  Hello

  I have the following statement of our software provider and want to check if it is correct: «you can't create/modify dynamic XFA forms with Adobe Acrobat.» Creation of dynamic XFA forms requires Adobe LiveCycle Forms Designer supplied with Acrobat 7, 8, 9 and X Professional; and is not included in Acrobat Professional XI. You can fill out the forms using Acrobat Professional but they are static forms. »

  Is this correct? Between the change in the way that LiveCycle designer has been distributed (provided with Acrobat Pro then separately) and Acrobat Pro vs. Adobe FormsCentral, it is not easy to see what is necessary to do now with Acrobat Pro XI.

  Thank you!

  R.

  Yes, this description is correct. It is also important to understand that there is no connection between the LCD and FormsCentral. Two things are very different.

  CF is a service based on the web for the design of forms, their distribution and then collects the results. Since it is more what remains of him is his desktop application that can be used to create a (simple) PDF forms from scratch. The resulting file is a standard PDF Acrobat format, not a form of LCD.
