Show/hide a part of a document
Hi @ all,
I am working on a formular where I would like to have the possibility to extend the document if a checkbox is clicked. E.g. if the client inserts its data and then clicks the checkbox "Fill in data for another person as well", another page should show up where the client can insert data. If the Checkbox isnt clicked, the page or the part of the document should remain hidden.
I am thinking that there might be a way to do this with java? I do not have any experience with java, so an explanation would be very much appreciated.
The document should work in the basic adobe reader afterwards.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Anna

I don't want to embed font file
Hello there,
The case is:
I have some pdf documents, each with 2 font subsets embedded (let's call these as MyFont and MyFont-Bold), need to be edited.
The contents of these documents are just some simple texts only.
I open the document to edit in Acrobat, then change some words and save it
The problem is:
The document size becomes very very big, because Acrobat embeds new, third font subset (called, of course, MyFont, so there are two subsets with the same name).
I can't remove this subset using Optimize PDF dialog box, because it doesn't show there.
For some reason Acrobat makes and embed new subset although all characters used in documents were in the first "MyFont" subset already.
I read this forum before I wrote this question and some people says to try to open the original file, insert new page from edited PDF and then delete the first page and save, but doesn't work for me.
How can I prevent Acrobat (using pro version) from creating and embedding new font subset in document after editing?

How do you create links in a PDF document for use on iPhone or iPad?
I can create links to websites or documents within PDF but it will not work on iPhone/iPad. I can only get it to work if I download reader app and add attachments to document. Is that the recommendation? or what I am missing?

How to show/hide a text field based on multiple check boxes throughout a form
I have a form that requires the user to make one selection of 4 choices; UNSAT, Train to Leve, Level, and DNC per evaluated line.
If any of those evaluated lines are marked UNSAT I need a text box in to appear at the top of the form which says unsatisfactory. I have been using the script
getField("UNSAT_STAN1").display = event.target.value === "Off" ? display.hidden : display.visible
This work when the check box is checked to turn the field on but it does not turn the text field off when unchecked. This is a problem because it should only apper if chech UNSAT.
My other issue is when UNSAT in line 1 has been checked and the box is visible when I select something else other than UNSAT in line 2 the text box disappears. It disappears because I have this in the script of the remaining check boxes
if(event.target.value !=="1"){this.getField("UNSAT_STAN1").display = display.hidden;} else {this get.Field("UNSAT_STAN1").display = display.visible
I did this because I needed to turn it on and off based on the row selection which worked great if I was one row dependent. But I have multiple rows. I am really stuck and have read so many different articles I have confused myself. I am a very new beginner to this and would love any help or guidance.
Bottom line I need a script that turns the text field on and off when the check box UNSAT is either checked or unchecked regardless of the row it is in.

Stacking order of buttons - Hidden vs Visible
Hi...
I know that all interactive elements and fields are on a separated «layer» in a PDF. But I wonder what is the logic in the stacking order when we have visible or hidden button. It seems like all visibles button are always on top of hidden one.
Exemple:
Look at this Button 1 (black) is set to visible, button 2 and 3 are set to invisible.
Button 1 use action to show button 2 and 3, and button 3 have one to hide button 2 and himself.
When in preview, we only see the black button, when I click on it, button 2 and 3 appears behind button 1. That’s wrong.
This is with regular action show/hide button or with simple Javascript.
This is the same behaviour when elements are created in InDesign and exported to Interactive PDF.
BTW,the same InDesign file work perfectly when exported to SWF, Publish Online or Pub Fixed layout.
So this lead me to think that visible elements are always on TOP on the interactive layer in acrobat.
Is that the case? Any clue? A bug in Acrobat?
Thanks!

Fillable form, multi pages, tab order
Hello
Hoping for some insight/help with the form I am trying to create. Form started as an excel document where each column represents a different person. The intent is for the manager to list employees across the columns and then rate them 1-5 on each of the 20 criteria listed. I want them to be able to complete one column (person) at a time but my page goes across two pages. I can get the order right on page one, but am trying to get it to tab from the last criteria on page one to the first criteria on page two.
Any help?

Fillable fields on pdf won't print but show up as filled on my screen. How do I make them print?
I have created a pdf form with fillable fields. I have emailed it out as an attachment to other users. They fill it out and email it back to me. I can see their answers on my computer screen. When I print the form out, the fields are all blank. How do I make them print?
I did a test and sent the form to myself using Adobe Sign and that did print. I really don't want to have to send these forms out that way as sending it as an attachment is much easier. Is there a way to make the forms print showing the answers in the fillable fields?

Can 9.5.5 complete a form made in 17.12?
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and am unable to fill in a new form. If I click

form's properties say it was produced by AA 17.12 Image Conversion Plug-In
and is PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). There are no security restrictions.
The form is available online here:
Is it possible to complete this form with AA Pro 9.5.5? Thanks.

Select pages from a PDF Form
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew a way that I could make a PDF form and then someone can come in and select specific pages and then export those pages to create a smaller document off of the master PDF. Also any chance that after they've selected their pages, it will update the page numbers in the footer?

Create PDF with Expandable Fields
When I think of PDFs, I think of Adobe; which is why I find it incredibly shocking that Adobe Acrobat does not offer a very important feature to individual customers -- the ability to create a pdf with expandable fields as you type. Everything was working great until I realized the fillable field would not expand as I type. While typing into a field, the only options were for the text to automatically resize to fit into the field (making it illegible and not ideal for printing purposes) OR the text would remain the same font size but a scroll bar would appear (again, not ideal for printing purposes because all the text in the scroll field does not print). Another option I may have is to manually create the space I need to fit text on Word prior to creating a PDF. However, I may run into the issue of the field being too large for a short response (taking up unnecessary amount of space on the document) or the field being too small for a longer response (causing me to deal with technical issues instead of focusing on filling out the form). I prefer for the field to expand to be the exact size needed to accommodate any text inputted. Adobe explained this was only ever possible with livecycle software which was discontinued/renamed to AEM forms designer, which is not available to individual customers. I lost 5 days of work hoping Adobe could assist, but they just explained I was ineligible for AEM forms designer and expandable fields is just not possible solely with Adobe Acrobat. If anyone knows of a possible solution, please assist, as I have exhausted all options and ended up having to cancel the subscription because I was not able to do what I needed do with this software. ATTENTION ADOBE COMPANY, please make fillable expandable fields feature available for individual customers on adoabe acrobat, asap! Please.

Simple calculation: Fixed Price x Quantity = Total = Grand Total
I have most of this figured out, but for the life of me can't figure out how to show my fixed prices and now have them editable.
Example:
Fixed Price: $12
Quantity: Editable
Total: Product of 12 x Quantity
Grand Total: Sum of All Totals
But when I make a field for the fixed price it's always editable for some reason, or when locked even with a default value shows as 0.
