Hi troika002 Open the form in Acrobat 9, keep form editing closed. Go under Advanced Then Extend Features in Adobe Reader Then save as. I would use a different name and keep original in case you need to make further changes later on. IMacQuarker

Hi I am running QuarkXPress 8.1.6.2 on intel iMac with OS 10.6.7. I had to reinstall my Adobe Flash Player and lost my connection to Quark and no longer have the SWF preview function. The Adobe Flash Player I have now is 10.1.85.3. Does anyone know how I can reconnect to...

Hi dark 2 Can you post a link to one of the forms that is not working right? IMacQuarker

Hi CecilXavier I don't think you can do calculations with check boxes. But you can fake it by using a text field with a border around it. Using Zapf Dingbat 3 will give you a ? (check mark). You can use nearly the same calculations you used with CHALEV. Except you will have to find the script...

Hi Dark2 If you are using Acrobat, then Choose Add or Edit fields Select the OK button Draw the field size Under properties choose Appearance Then choose background color and font size Then under options (Label) type in Submit or whatever you want Then under actions choose Submit a Form and...

Hi CecilXavier I think I found a way to make the round down to work. Try this The Simplified field notation for Chalev2 = Chalev * .50 Then to round it down you go to Validate and paste this event.value = Math.floor(event.value); That seems to work here. Try it...

Hi CecilXavie It looks like you have to have the less than/equal to symbols <= to make it work. Also that script is case sensitive so you can't use Str for str. I reposted the PDF and I think it works now. You will have to change the result to whatever you want. var nstr =...

Hi CecilXavier I am still not completely sure exactly what you want. However if you want to do a number calculation you first have to format the text boxes to contain a number then you go to calculations and do the calculation. This is what the following script does. You should be able to...

Hi CecilXavier If field1 = 18 then you want field2 to = 18 +3 or 21? If so that would just be field2 = field1 + 3 Question 2 For CHALEV you make a field CHALEV2 or whatever and make the calculation CHALEV2 = CHALEV * .50 Can you post what you have on the internet so I can see it? IMacQuarker

I have found that Safari 4.0.5 (4531.22.7) on OS 10.4.11 will open and let me read and do fillable forms online without downloading the PDF or opening Adobe Reader. So it must have Adobe Reader built in. FireFox 3.6.3 apparently does not have Adobe Reader built in and always downloads the PDF to...

hi Marathon62 Go back to this thread How to make and link Text boxes? IMacQuarker

Hi marathon62, Try this This example uses 3 pages with Name, Phone, Address. If you use form wizard it will automatically name them as shown. Name Name_1 Name_2 When you change it to just Name the program will rename them like this. Name# Name#1 Name#2 You can change that on the left in the...

Hi SuaveGato Using Acrobat 9 Pro here on the Mac. If you create a PDF form with 12 or so pages and each page has a "Name" field, then name the Name field exactly the same on all pages. If page one has Name1 and page two has Name2, etc. then it won't work. Note: the same applies...

Hi kavya When you finish the form in Acrobat 9 you should save that form as the original. Then close the form editing. Then look under "Advanced at the top and click on "Extend Features in Adobe Reader. That will prompt you save another copy. Save that with the new name...

MarkWalsh, thanks You're right I had selected square for some reason, and thought that was the shape of the enclosing box. But I've done worse. IMacQuarker
