[Urgent] Question on the production of many PDF documents with small variations (custom paper certificates)

Hello

I don't know if my description of the problem would be helpful, but I'll try to find a solution to this urgent problem. I don't even know if I can do this using Acrobat (or other tools) but I will be really grateful for any tips or tricks

OK - so I'm trying to create certificates in paper 90 + for participants of an event. Each paper certificate would require their names thereon. This is the only difference between all certs 90 +. Foramatting and other things is exactly the same.

What I'm asking is - is there a painless way for, say, get Acrobat to retrieve the names of a list/database and generate 90 unique PDFs / certificates (each with a unique name of a person) or should I pass by copy - pasting into Microsoft Word for each of em?

Thanks for your help.

Why not use mail merge and merge tools in Word? Just read your info on a worksheet and use the output method "print document" to generate PDF files.

    I'm filling out a form that is available on a site. When I click on the option to fill out and submit the form 'online' a pdf document is displayed in chrome with the following text

    «To display all of the content of this document, you need a later version the viewer PDF.» You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html for further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html"

    Needless to day, I installed the latest version. I even reinstalled using the link in the message, but nothing helped. Whenever I click on the link to go forward, I get the same message. Question: (i) is it my PC/software (Vista), (ii) is the site where I'm trying to submit the form, or (iii) is it the software acrobat reader. Note that I used successfully the last version to fill out and sign forms.

    It is none of them. It's Chrome, which is ignoring Adobe Reader and showing the message.

    Solution: just save the document (with the message) to your desktop. Then open it in Adobe Reader. The 'real' should then display.

  • Change the fonts in a PDF document

    Hello!

    I would like to change the font on a PDF document, because I have to agree with some parts of it (copy in a .doc or similar)

    The problem is when I do, the original font is not recognized by word processing (strange symbols).

    I m trying to change the font in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I can´t the change. the program says that (not exactly, its in Spanish)

    "The change of police did not because the font chosen and the codification of fonts document´s are different and it cannot be resolved."

    By clicking on properties pdf´s, I see these fonts:

    R11

    R277

    R677

    All of them are 'customize' codification and type 3.

    I hope that some in this forum could help me, I really need to extract text from this PDF file for work stuff.

    Thank you and sorry for my bad English...

    I don't know that I want to go into that. Sorry if I missed your original message. At the time wherever I went down to where I answered, I forgot some details. One thing you might try is to save in TIFF format at 300 or 400 dpi of resolution. Open the TIFF in Acrobat, can do an OCR to recover fonts. If it's a file as you suggest, then it must convert the fonts to something useful.

    Otherwise, you either need to download a copy of the font in the PDF if you can find or try fonts different variations. Provide information on the types of policies that you found might help. This is where the question of Type 3 fonts was raised. Type 3 bitmap fonts are characteristic of the old systems of LaTeX and TeX. Today, most of these systems use vector fonts of Type 1.

    If you could post an example page where you are having problems, maybe other suggestions could be made more timely.

    If I missed something else in all of your messages, I'm sorry. The message that I am answering is only present as I answer.

    Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc.   I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.

  • How to set up sites of confidence for the PDF Documents with Hyerplinks to Lotus Notes databases?

    Hello everyone,

    my company is using PDF documents with hyperlinks to Lotus Notes databases.

    When I open one of these files with Adobe Reader Default Setup, I can not open the hyperlinks.

    When I disable the safe_mode at startup, it is possible to open links.

    To ensure safety, we try to set the trust for our Notes Server site, but I couldn't find a solution.

    Our servers work with Lotus Notes 9, customers use the Version 8.5.3.

    Clients are installed with Windows 7 Enterprise.

    We test with Adobe Reader DC, Version 2015.007.20033

    Thanks for your support in this matter.

    Thank you in advance everybody!

    Hi oliverh33447604,

    Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> Trust Manager menu-> settings

    Use the option of the customer to add to the list of Web sites.

    Kind regards

    It was because my document is open read-only. When I corrected that I could apply the password.

  • Is there a maximum limit on the fields in a PDF document?

    I am bulding a PDF document, basically a graphic frequency, with fields that will be filled by the user under development tool.  The tool will calculate a set of rate and then fill in the PDF document with these values.  The document that I'm getting is 5 pages, with fields probably 3 or 4 thousand.  The I add more fields. slowly the bonding process is over.  I was wondering if there was a maximum.  I'm afraid that it's going to blow up!

    One thing that can really slow things down is the adjustment automatic tab order than Acrobat when editing of the fields. This should be a feature, but it is really counterproductive. Acrobat 11 allows you to turn this off, which can have a considerable positive effect when there are a lot of fields. In my opinion, this new feature and other improvements with regard to defining tab order make the upgrade price worth it.

    You can also disable the following preferences: Edit > Preferences > forms > Preview field when creating or editing form fields

    but it has less effect.

  • Problem with the display of Adobe PDF documents

    Problem with the display of Adobe PDF documents

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium computer

    I read all the suggestions and I tried to download several versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.

    Before you download each version, I would delete the current version with uninstalling programs for the control panel.

    After each new installation I shut down the computer and restart the computer.

    I tried to download the versions with and without going through my antivirus (CA Total defense) running.

    After downloading, I thought that the version downloaded successfully.

    I have read the help of Acrobat http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.

    None of the above helped.

    The problem is that any version of Adobe Reader, download, I can't open a PDF file and read it. Or the drive itself will remain open.

    1. If I try to open the drive from the desktop link or real program menu, the Player opens for 5 seconds and then closes spontaneously. If I try to click on the Player menu (File, Edit, View, window, help, tools), then an alarm will sound and the menu does not open. Soon after, the reader is closed.

    2. If I try to open the drive by double clicking on a PDF file then the Player opens but the document is not displayed (only the grey player screen PDF is specified), then the drive closes after 5 seconds on its own.

    The desktop shortcut shows like 'red icon Adobe Reader'. But the real program menu icon shows as empty a folder icon.  All documents in PDF format displayed as Adobe PDF icon.

    I tested several PDF files and none will open on this computer, but they will open on other computers.

    I created a word document and saved as a PDF file. It looked as if it had record properly (a the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it according to point 2 above the document is not displayed and then then the drive closes after 5 seconds on its own.

    Anyone have any ideas on what is happening and how can I fix?

    Could you please respond in this forum and send me an email at [deleted]

    I'm so confused and frustrated.

    I would try Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • How to configure the nonprinting elements on PDF document.

    Hello world.

    I am trying to create a PDF document with background elements including the background color, images and some geometric elements that I want to be displayed when the document is displayed on a computer screen, but that do not appear when teleworkers is printed.

    How can I configure the PDF so that some elements are visible but not printable?

    TIA,

    Joe.

    PS: in case the information is relevant, I'm under Acrobat version 9.5.3.

    Yes, the layers is quite accurate. A background that you add with Acrobat is a layer, it just appears in the layers navigation panel. Creating the InDesigner layer is even better than what I suggested. Once you have it in Acrobat you can set it to be visible, but not print.

  • Questions about the product recovery DVD?

    Hello

    After a boot failure sunk with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181, I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there is something called expert mode, I suppose that allows you to create a custom default value of the factory Setup. So I was wondering, is it possible to format the hard drive in FAT32 instead of NTFS, create a partition for Linux and continue to use the product recovery DVD? In case you are wondering I want FAT32, so I can safely read and write my XP with Linux partition as NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.

    See you soon,.

    Richard S.

    Hello

    Check out this link. You will find an info exactly how to recover with the Expert mode.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&TSTART=15

    However, if you want to create a new FAT32 partition or another standard (Linux), I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This is a very nice program and you have a lot of options (change the size of the partitions, etc.)
