Manually convert a text field to a form field in Acrobat Pro XI
I have an existing PDF that must have a number of existing text converted into fields of form fields (e.g., name, date, etc.). What is the best way to do this without deletion and recreation of each element? Recognition of the form fields Acrobat (automatic detection) is not picking them up.
Thank you!
Hi mkamen,
Just use the shape tool prepare PDF in Acrobat.

Expanding text fields in Acrobat Pro ms
I need to create a text field in expansion that pushes down the content below. Check 'Multi-line' and 'scroll long text' is not good when it comes to printing actually shape, and my research on the creation of a text field in expansion has turned up only comes from earlier versions or other software. Is this possible in Acrobat pro ms? If so, how? If not, what software need me and how to get it?
No, it can't be done in Acrobat format.
Of the to do in a PDF form, you need to create using LiveCycle Designer.
you will need to purchase separately through Adobe.

Editing a text field in Acrobat pro 9.4
When I go to edit inside actobat pro mode, what I can change are the data fields, non-static text. How can I select static in my document/form text so that I can change it? The data fields are all fine as is and I didn't need to change. I just need to edit the static text in the document. How is that possible?
If I use lifecycle designer, the text isn't formatted correctly and it is impossible to edit because the text is too large and some text fields are superimposed. In lifecycle designer, I can't understand how to select a text box. He described boxes, but it is imposible to change the size of the box, since there is apparently no selection tools. Whenever I try, I end up editing a box which is located on the area that I'm trying to change. Any suggestions?
Since you're using FDF, the form is most likely created in Acrobat, so it's an acroform as opposed to an XFA form. So don't try editing in LiveCycle Designer. HAE tried using the Touchup text tool in Acrobat? Do not go in the form mode to do this modification.

Is legends - possible to add captions on form field in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?
I lost LiveCycle when CreativeCloud and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make legends of form field in Acrobat Pro XI? Or should I just create fields legend separated for each field? I hope I'm missing just something obvious...
Lol you can use (read only) text field with a name similar (like 'name'
(and "Name tag"), but the two will not be "linked" to another.

I'm working on a scanned page that I insert form fields. I used this exact page before with no problems, but now when I go to add a text field in the box, it jumps all over the page and not have a place where I want to. How can I solve this problem. I tried to open a blank version of the page and they all do the same thing.
Go to view show/hide - leaders & Guides and uncheck the snap to grid
option.

So I traced a shape. At one point, apparently, I accidentally clicked inside this shape with the text tool and transformed into a text field. I am now "cancellations" too far to go back. I would like to take this text field object and put it back in in a way that I can stroke and fill. In my layers palette, its marked as < type >. I tried a number of different copy, direct selection ideas and nothing has worked. How can I change this back?
Vinny,
DirectSelect the path itself next to Type Ctrl / Cmd + C + F and enjoy.

How to make a text expanding field in Acrobat Pro?
I am trying to create a PDF form with text fields that expand as the information is entered. I know it can be done in Adobe Livecycle Designer, but I have to be able to do in Acrobat Pro. I need to be able to save the form once it is filled in and potentially make changes or add additional information later. That's where I met a problem with Livecycle because I do not have the Extension of Livecycle Reader nor do I have a server to install the Extension of Livecycle Reader on. Help, please!
You should not have LiveCycle Reader Extensions to what you want to do. Acrobat is able to activate Reader a form that you create with LiveCycle Designer so that it can be registered with the player. He added not all rights of use which can Reader Extensions, but what you have said you probably don't need them.

Form created in Acrobat Pro XI live does not not in Acrobat Reader for iPad
I created a form using Acrobat Pro XI, security is as shown.
Recorded as the other - Reader Extended PDF - activate more Tools(filling in form fields etc...)
But when I open it on the iPad, the form fields do not work.
This form will be used until the end of time or the shape changes... whichever comes first.
The form must be protected from users to make changes.
They are only allowed to complete and sign.
And Yes, I've studied this extensively, but no real answer except to not remove the password.
Yes it works, but the shape is is more secure against users make changes to the form.
I guess I should say that the forms are used for the declaration of compliance with federal regulations, where the need for security!
Our company uses other software suppliers for the creation of PDF form, but I said I need Acrobat to create the
forms to complete mobile that we need.
I stuck to you Adobe!
Come on get with it!
A very unhappy user,
Jim

Impossible to select the fields in Acrobat Pro XI tools/editor of formulas to calculate
First of all, in the form Acrobat Pro XI during an attempted editor calculate fields, I don't and then select the fields (click), to calculate. I can only just select or deselect all.
Also, if my simple spreadsheet formula is:
=IF(Value01> 0,SUM(Value01* (Value02-Value03)),"")
Is there a simple way to translate this formula in a calculation script in the form Pro Adobe Acrobat XI (or FormsCentral) tools?
Thanks for any input.
Relating to the selection of fields: use the space bar or click a little out of the center of
the checkbox. This is a known problem in Acrobat that has not been resolved yet.
