Text PDF format appears not, cannot save changes

I tried to understand how being saved text format appears when you open a PDF form.

I did a lot of troubleshooting and here is what I have so far.

PDF - form has been created in Adobe InDesign CS6 (Mac)

-The text appears in SumatraPDF, Mozilla's PDF reader

-The text is visible for half a second then disappears when opening in Adobe Reader 11 and cannot be seen (even when the cell is clicked, as others have pointed out)

-Same thing happens in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard except that it is rather the second 1/8

-The text does appear quite in FoxIt Reader, Nitro Pro 9, Nitro Reader 9

-In addition, if the user tries to open, to modify fields, record, none of the changes stick

It seems that any reader/PDF Editor that supports editing of form field does not display text, but who does not display the text just fine (Mozilla, SumatraPDF). I tried to add the ".js file" for fixing forms Adobe Acrobat and Reader, but it makes no changes. I am troubleshooting for an end-user who must be able to open, edit and save these PDF files. No indication as to what is happening here would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

The reason is that the form is reset when the document is opened. I could be to blame for this, I promoted this technique long ago before the player was able to save a completed form. It was useful for online forms so that historical data would not fill in the fields if the form had been reopened. For a number of reasons, is no longer a good reason to do so.

To work around the problem, you can temporarily disable JavaScript and form don't get reset when it is open. You can also remove the script in the opening event of the Page the first page if you wish.

The reason why you see different behavior with different viewers is because some of them support the JavaScript that is used and others do not.

  • To create a text box with a colored background but the text didn't appear not

    I'm doing a map of color-coding. It's just a black and white base card, but I filled in the cities with different colors using the paint bucket tool, to show which region they belong to.

    At the bottom of the map is a list of five regional offices and the offices of the area covered by each of them. I was hoping to create a box around the text, and then fill it (the box) with the color that corresponds to that particular region.

    Using the rectangle selection tool, I call a box around the text and filled with color. The opacity is set to 100%, so the text behind it disappeared completely. If I reduce the opacity of the text appears in grey, but I want the text to stand out and to be black.

    Using the Horizontal type tool I tried to redo the text everywhere again. However, the text I typed (see the text layer name) was not appear.

    Then I went in the character window and clicked rest character, hoping that the text arise, but it still does not work. The blue fill layer covers the original text, but is there a way to keep this original text, always be black, in order to keep the blue background? Or redo the entire text again in a new layer (as I tried to do below) would make more sense?

    Change the blending mode of the layer of color, darker color should work well.

  • The list of OK numbering in PDF format, but not in ePub

    I have a fairly new for Adobe Indesign and now real respect for her.

    However, I am having a problem that is driving me crazy.

    On my InDesign everything looks cool and is assigned to paragraph and character styles / character styles are not the definition of paragraph because I saw that there was a problem with ePub.

    If I publish my document in PDF format, everything seems like I like it.

    If I publish on epub 2 or epub 3 there is a section that is not working properly. Suddenly, paragraph styles are indented and the numbering will not. I checked and rechecked, as well the styles of paragraph and character - they are right and look good in InDesign.

    I would be grateful any ideas what I am doing wrong? Is this a bug in Indesign? Is there a way to work around it? I don't know anything about inDesign... I tried to work around this problem, for a full day and this isn't what I want to do.

    See you soon

    Please do me

    As your question is about the EPUB, I moved it to the InDesign EPUB forum.

    Please tell us what version of InDesign that you run and what computer platform.

  • Print in PDF format (but not open) in Acrobat 9 Std

    Howdy all... new here.  I have been hunting around, but can't find an answer to this.  I have a user who prints several reports in PDF format using the printer PDF in Acrobat 9.  Once printing is complete, Acrobat opens the newly saved PDF file.  Is there a way to disable opening the PDF file once finished printing?  I can do this with a third-party virtual PDF printer, but it is rather partial Adobe which is fine.  I'd appreciate any help you can give.

    Thank you

  • Why ADOBE Illustrator declines save me my file in my USB?, when I save on my computer screen appeared warning "cannot save the picture. you do not have enough access privileges. ID:-5000. "does that mean?

    Hello

    Difficulty of the access privileges on your USB. It is locked or you simply don't have the right to write about it. No application can write on it.

    BTW: it is not a good idea to read or write from a USB key in Illustrator (or any software) directly. These sticks are just a nightmare in terms of data integrity and tend to become too often mistakes of R/W.

    Save on your drive hard and then make a copy on the USB key.

  • Text field: format of the digital None change category

    Hi all

    I have a loop to set all the fields read-only.

    fFc var = this.numFields;
    var FieldName = "
    for (var s = 0; s < fFc; s + +) {}
    FieldName = this.getNthFieldName (s)
    Var AFN = this.getField (FieldName);
    If (!.) (FieldName is "FNIS_Print")) {/ / Do not set the button "print" read only}
    fFn.readonly = true;
    }
    }

    Our provider PDF sets category format of some numeric field (2 decimal separator). The merged data in the field has already been formatted, so I would change the fields format category of digital to none with the help of the loop above.

    Can it do? If so, can you give us some examples?

    Thank you

    Doug

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've searched high and low to answer this very question.  Finally, on my own tests, I discovered an interesting solution that solves the problem mentioned here.

    Property cannot be set simply the 'Format' to an empty string, you must also set the property to "Strike" to an empty string.  This will actually change the format of the field 'None' behaviour both within the Format of the field that is tab

    var f = this.getField ('text_field')

    f.setAction('Format','')
    f.setAction('Keystroke','')

  • Cannot save changes in iWeb

    I recently bought 3 models of 3 companies, because the Apple default iWeb Templates are not sufficient for my business needs.

    I bought 2 iPresentee and iWebThemesPark 1.

    After 4 hours, developing a company web page where I saved constantly my job while using the app to Apple iWeb, I was appalled to realize that my work had actually been saved!

    First, I assumed it was a problem with the new models - but I now believe that it is a type of bug with iWeb - because the problem happens on models from 2 different companies and I even changed my read/write permission in their case by a suggestion from the suppliers of model.

    The symptoms are: I make the text changes, add pic files & delete some items template - and after the backup via file/save or Ctrl/s I exit the application of iWeb. Then when I restart iWeb-NONE of my changes were actually saved!

    I use the last of Apple OSX 10.11.6 & iWeb 3.0.4

    Totally frustrated - any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do not remember that if this is actually a bug in iWeb, then nothing's going to set for it because iWeb is a product not supported and has been for the last 4 years now.

    I don't understand why you use iWeb to create websites of companies when it is not supported to an old man?  You would be better to create a corporate Web site using something like EverWeb, which is supported and currently developed?

    iWeb all stores in the files domain.sites and that's where everything will be recorded.  If you open iWeb, once again, you may find that things have not been registered, but go and find your domain.sites files and double click on it and you should find here changes.  Domain.sites file is located under your user/Library/Application Support / domain.sites.  Remember that it is your user library you want and NOT the library from your system.  To make your user library, you must go to the menu go to the top and then click on the 'alt' key and it should reveal your user library.

    Apart from that, I would not recommend the use of an obsolete product to create a business website.  Use EverWeb or something else - you can create very nice and professional looking websites of companies using WordPress.org.

    Move now while you can, as once you upgrade to the new Sierra of OSX, iWeb may well not work and there will be no more updates far it - not supported now.

    Time to move on instead of using it to create new sites!

  • Cannot save changes to a .vi

    I have a .vi that references a file database.dsn on the C: drive of the computer.  I would like to change the location of the file.  I can change the path in the .vi that points to the new location, and I can run the vi pointing to the new path.  I seem to be able to save the file.  However, when I close the vi & reopen it always comes back to the original path, apparently unaware of the changes that I made.  No idea why?  I'm using Labview 2013, running on Windows 7.  The original file was written in Labview 8.1.  I was able to make changes to this file in the past, but not on the computer I'm working now.  Thanks for the help!

    First of all, this post is better suited in tha LabVIEW forum Feedback Forum.

    As for your problem, if you change the path on the right click on the control and select data operations > use current default value.  Then save the .vi.  Whenever you load, controls are populated with the default value.

  • Captivate 9 saved in the pdf format does not not in web browsers

    Hello

    I tried to download PDF files e-Learning interactive on my site to use as a portfolio. The e-Learning programs have been created in Powerpoint, and then loaded into Captivate 9 to add interactivity and saved as a PDF for the web. However, these PDF files opens in a web browser. The only problem I can find is when I open "Inspect" in each pdf, a warning indicates "/deep/ based communicator". Unfortunately, I do not know what it means or where to go from here. Any ideas gratefully received.

    I don't know exactly, but it means that you have both Adobe Reader and Flash player (working together) were installed. What happens with this collaboration when the pdf file is displayed in (that) web browser, have no idea. It may also be due to something totally different, but I suspect it might be linked to this change for Adobe Reader (since XI (I think).
