Loss of information when merging PDF files.

When combine us PDF files into single documents we lose the information on our forms if there is 'editable' boxes to present.  Unless each box is called something different.  However, we use the same shape more than once, and then combine them into a single document later (do you combined daily logs once the project is completed).  We used the PDF portfolio, however, our customers do not understand how to open them or that they do not like having to download Adobe IX.

You must flatten the files (or rename fields) before their merger to avoid this problem, as the fields with the same name will automatically have the same value.

  • Merge PDF files as bookmarks in a single document.

    Im working in a folder with multiple file paths (folders in folders in the folders, etc.). Each folder contains PDF files.

    Problem: It takes too much time to find a single PDF, because it can exist in a file, a folder, a folder...

    Solution: I want all of PDF files (which exists in all folders) have merged into a single PDF file. In addition, I want different Folders as bookmarks in the merged PDF file.

    Therefore, these bookmarks represents wich folder PDF files came (bookmark = the name of the folder name). Then when I click on the bookmark (folder), all PDF files that was in this folder becomes visible.

    I'm Picturing a dokument endless with bookmarks to click on, for faster browsing in the PDF file. Since there are, in the files, files in folders... There are bookmarks, in bookmarks, in bookmarks.

    Now, I have only Acrobat DC. What software do I need and what is the easiest way to set up my endless merged PDF?

    Thank you

    Well, certainly that is impossible with the reader. You can merge all your documents and create bookmarks with the full version of Acrobat, but I don't think that there is a way to automate the creation of bookmark to coincide with the structure of your file. You can ask in the forum here Acrobat: Acrobat

    If you can merge PDF files before, you did not use the free player, but the mist probably Acrobat which I hope that you have not deleted. Make sure you open your files in Acrobat, and you will be able to merge again.

  • can "print image" be defined as the default value when printing PDF files?

    We have many students to connect and when they print PDF to our Lexmark printers it works best for "print image" otherwise printers get bogged down and hang sometimes. We would like to see if we can have 'print picture' it set as the default when printing PDF files?

    Hi desktopsuofslib,

    There no option in Acrobat to define 'print as image' as option by default because as soon as we opt for this option, the profile of settings is automatically replaced custom Acrobat default.

    However, I have noticed that when you use the option 'print picture' for a specific printer and print a document, that this option remains active for subsequent printings, unless you change it manually.

    Kind regards

  • Hide a button when a pdf file is opened?

    Hi all

    I created a PDF form using LiveCycle 8.0 who must hide or disable (or the other would be nice) a button when the pdf file is first opened, as there are already entries by the user text in a form field. This would be due to users opening, enter data into the text field and then have backed up previously.

    Here's the javascript code I've tried so far.

    var k is form1. Table.subject.Paragraph.subject_name.rawValue;

    If (k.length! = 0) {}

    Form1. Button1.presence = 'Hidden ';

    Form1. Button1.access = "readOnly";

    }

    I put the code in the "docReady', ' form: ready ' and ' layout: ready ' events of my form, but when I open the form after the recording of the text in the text field, the button is always visible to the closing and reopening of the form.

    The weird part is, if I set the 'Default' text box property to any value non-zero and test it in the Preview tab, it works!

    It seems that even if the default property is defined (and detected) by the events above before all entries by the user (and saved) text is loaded into the text box on a form fields, so what I'm checking do appear to be capture input by the user to the point that they are triggered.

    Basically, I'm asking how to check for text entered by the user (i.e. is not part of the 'default' text field property) in a text field and then disable or hide a button on the form on the pdf being opened?

    What events should have my code in them?

    If it's "layout: ready", which?  That of the shape, the text field or button I want to hide?

    Thanks in advance for all replies,

    DJF

    Thanks to all for the replies.

    I solved the problem.  My script just wasn't running.  I forgot to open the form in Acrobat Pro and do a ' advanced-> enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  As soon as I did, everything went very well.

  • What is the sequence when a PDF file is generated?

    I would like to know the sequence of events when a PDF file is generated from InDesign CS4 using the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer. PostScript is involved somehow before the PDF is generated and I would like to have a better understanding of what is happening.

    Acrobat Help says:

    In an application such as Adobe InDesign, use the command print with the Adobe PDF printer to convert your file in Adobe PDF format. Your source document is converted to PostScript and sent directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF, without manually starting Distiller. Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file.

    It is the a delicate, at least for me, because the explanation is confusing. My problem is the following: under InDesign > file > print > printer I have a PDF Adobe 7.0 (as well as my regular printers), and I don't know who 'Adobe PDF settings' are currently designated.

    QUESTION 1

    The expression of aid:

    Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file

    is that the fact of Distiller > Preferences, and Distiller > settings Adobe PDF (the main window to distill)?

    QUESTION 2

    When I select the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer and press print, InDesign creates Postscript itself, or he asks using Acrobat or Distiller?

    QUESTION 3

    At some point before I get the PDF, a Postscript file will be launched, and it's "fairly directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF. At this stage, the Postscript file only is all the options that I asked in the print of InDesign dialog box (exit, Advanced Graphics, transparency and so on)? Or has there been some back-and-forth discussions between the Distiller (and its parameters) and InDesign (and its print settings) to solve all the conflicts?

    In short, is it correct to say that InDesign creates Postscript by itself (subject to its print settings), and then distilling takes Postscript from InDesign and converts it to PDF format (subject to its own parameters).

    Are you talking about export or print to PDF?

    Exported PDF files is not converted to postscript at all. It is exported

    directly to PDF using the libraries PDF internal.

    When you print to PDF, InDesign creates a postscript file, as it would

    What impression on any standard printer and Distiller converts that to

    PDF. Distiller simply acts as a virtual printer.

    The postscript created by InDesign file contains all the options work

    selected in InDesign - as would any postscript file everything

    printer.

    In summary, Yes.

    But you really should be export directly from InDesign and avoid

    the PostScript scene altogether...

  • Why information from individual PDF files that were created by using the form to fill out is changing when I try to combine the files?

    I have several pdf documents created using a form to fill out.  When I try to create a combined PDF information either is removed from all pages after the first page or all the pages after the fact look page 1 as duplicate page 1.  what I am doing wrong?

    The problem is that these files have fields with the same name in them, thus

    When you merge them they become copies of each other and of all their

    the values are the same.

    To avoid it you must either rename the fields before you merge the files

    or flatten, converting them to static content.
