Is the export file for the same geospatial files that you provided above? So far the three files that you provided earlier  are : Cornish Hill POC L WGS84 Pop Vis Mercator.pdf Cornish Hill POC L WGS84.TIF Cornish Hill POC L WGS84.tfw <--------------------------------- is this supposed to be the shape file?? If it is , I tried converting the file to a format that can be accepted by Adobe, such as, the ones shown in the bottom right corner of this slide but the second slide show what I get in return I normally use IrfanView as my main application to convert files of any type. It is supposed to be a very robust platform to this type of file conversions. So I went ahead and tried to import in Adobe. When trying to import to Adobe the same message; that is two different applications displaying the same information about this particular file. I also went to the Microsoft App store and they don't have a program available there  that would , could or should  associate this type of file to work with it. I am thinking that, maybe, when the file was georeferenced from the original software it needed to be saved as a shape file in another file format rather than tfw? (ahpe file in DFX format, then convert it to JPEG2000 or TIFF. ) Based of  what I am reading when the shape file is exported into JPEG2000 or TIFF it is supposed to retain all of the geospatial data during export/import procedures into the PDF editor. As you can see below, I was able to import as layers the first two files that you provided above But when trying to import this "tfw" file into pdf no luck and I am not able to get coordinates. See if you can georeferenced the shape file in TIFF ... View more

This is very interesting. It s my first time learning all this. Never had a clue Adobe was also  used for this purpose until now, and I find it fascinating. I recreated in my Acrobat your scenario following the steps described here: Geospatial PDFs, Adobe Acrobat But I see the same problem It mentions a specific step about how to incorporate the shape file, which from what I am gathering is the TIFF file in question. Maybe changing the file format from TIFF to JPEG2000 will do the trick? And then import as layer the original pdf  file using this new jpeg2000 file format for the shape file? ... View more

For the Digital Signature Properties dialogue box , withyour  document with  Adobe, right-click on the signature field, click on "Tools" ---->"Prepare Form". Once you get into the edit mode, right-click on the signature field that is crashing and select "Properties"-----> then click on the tab that is labeled as "Signed". See if anything is marked as read-only, locked or anything that appears marked as read-only. This is just to make sure if any prior user settings or if when the original form when it was created by somebody else was not sanitized and is blocking or restricting access in any way, or set as read-only access, and that it  may be still be retaining those  configurations. -------------------BREAK------------------------------- From a compter repair POV : You have in your log a segmentation fault problem. It could be 2 things; that Adobe program is trying to write (or store) the file in a read-only directory in your Mac. If this is the case check if accessing a shared folder or with read/write access avoids the application from crashing when it tries to save it. OR,  you might want to check if one of the memory sticks in your Mac is bad and the program is having a hard time placing temporary instructions in some areas of the RAM due to the file that you are using is corrupt. In this case try creating just a new blank document and create a new signature field and see if that works. If it does recreate the document from scratch do not use the old file. The same troubleshooting approach should be considered for the software: if there were any corrupt hardware drivers and chipset drivers that were installed during a prior update or upgrade for your OS; try and check for an new update to your OS,  install it, and try again. If you already did an update and it went well, check also if there are hotfixes or patches available from the Mac vendor support website; install them too and try again. A similar issue was answered here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2349624 I am curious though, that you were very specific when you mentioned about typing the letter C and experiencing a crash. Does this happen with other programs that require you to type in the same letter? Have you checked what happens if you type any other alphanumerical characters rather than just that letter and see if it crash ? ... View more

Back in my younger days I used to be a computer repair support guy; as frustrating as it gets sometimes, I used to get extremely disgruntled with customers who love MS Windows for example,  because they were paying so much money and getting blue screens of death on every new release they were upgrading to (by the way, upgrading is a very important word here that goes out in many directions). So, if I was stuck with a computer issue that was hard to resolve, I later discovered that  the problem never was that I didn't study enough, learned enough, consult and researched enough. My main and biggest mistake of all time was (AND THE PROBLEM ALWAYS>>ALWAYS WAS)  that I never looked into assessing the computer user habits combined with all the stuff they were bloating their computers with. I'm pretty sure we are not looking thoroughly into your computer's and your friends computer's  updates, service packs, software patches,  security account policies or restrictions with your account, software configuration issues (at the OS level and application level),  to include migration path issues as we browse, chat, stream or email, and what not (and God knows what else people do). Nowadays people call it bloatware, specially on hand held devices, and it is almost like witnessing a shark feeding frenzy out there  with all the advertising campaigns for cool  apps, free software, games, etc. I'm not saying this is your case though, but please understand my point:  if you are paying for a subscription you need to call tech support and have them earn their living. Make them work for you. After all you are the paying customer, who If they can't help on the first try, you still can demand to escalate the issue to a Regional Manager all the way to headquarters if necessary. When you exhaust that effort then we are talking. I would like to know too why is that happening. So if you can share your input after that it would be great. That way you will be giving back to the community. So before we  give up (and out of curiosity ) lets try flattening your document: Open your document one more time. Save your file as a post script. To do so just click on "FILE"--->"SAVE AS" --> assign a file name (I usually append "PS" and see the sequence steps below: Then, in order to open it , and to find it, you must select "All Files(*.*)" as shown below, next two slides: Select post script file from the folder you saved it in, and a pop up will ask you to convert it, click YES When your new document  opens, right-click on the image and select from the pop-up menu "Edit Text & Images" -----> and then "Delete" or "Replace Image" Next step is self-explanatory just upload your logo and share if this worked out for you. ...

I tried and recreated a scenario between MS Word and my Adobe Acrobat Pro and it seems like if you are encountering a lot of those boxes throughout your document it might be due to empty text boxes previously created in the MS Office document that was used before it was imported to PDF. It is my belief  that during the Word-to-PDF conversion (or whatever the original document was created with)  those text boxes were exported onto your PDF, and now when you try to edit your document when you hover your the mouse pointer through certain areas they appear as blank Stamp Boxes When you run into those just delete them. I would safely assume that the problem is not in the Adobe Acrobat Pro you are using, but rather in how the original was created and exported. ... View more

Yes, is a hassle. You may want to share the code with a community professional or share your file with them. Bernd Alheit inquired about your issue here and he might be able to assist with the technical part better than me, as for my self I am learning on the go. I am also working on long form myself with similar issues and I am a newbie with calculated fields. I had try67 who helped me out with an issue  through one of these forums and literally it didn't took more than a day to get me situated with his assistance. But if you are the type of person who likes to do everything yourself, then fortunately you can explore, view, edit and review all the code lines in your document in a single spot. To do so check below: Click on Tools and select the JavaScript addon. It will bring you to the next set of options as shown below: Select "All Java Scripts" from the Tool Ribbon of this addon and a JavaScript Editor will pop up. You may copy and paste this info in a text editor such as wordpad, notepad, MS Word, etc. and see for yourself if any field name values need to be renamed in each of the scripts. I highlighted where it says "**********belongs to:" so you can see how it actually is to find the code you are looking for for each text field or drop list in your document, plus if you look on the lower right corner of the pop up JavaScript editor (just above the "Go To" button) it shows the Line and Column numbers where the field(s) you are looking for are located.

jkitzy, check this link out for additional insights: when using the submit by email button, how do I have the form returned to me in a pdf format? What do you mean when you say "most users in-house" and then by "random users"? Looks to me as if random users are not part of your organization and using the same technical specs that you mentioned "We have Acrobat DC Reader, Outlook 16, and Windows 10 Enterprise. All on a thin client." Are these random users outside of your organization trying to use the same document on different systems? I have a similar problem at work that does not relate to yours but here it goes: For example, due to some security policy restrictions applied on  guest user accounts in an  MS Windows 10 environment, if  I create forms with calculated scripts, those users logging in with a guest account  cannot switch from MS Edge browser to Adobe Acrobat DC as the default viewer/reader.  Guest users are simply not allowed to right-click on the file they downloaded to their Desktop and be able to select Properties and choose Adobe as the default program to open this type of file. As a consequence,  when the PDF document is opened with MS Edge by default, they will be able to view the it but the calculated scripts get all messed up or won't even  work at all. I believe the right term for this issue is that it will not render properly due to Active-X controls not fully supported in the Edge browser for the newest Adobe PDF technologies (***but not fully quote me on this*** it is stuff I've read in a hurry before and I might be wrong). also please see this link for more additional insigths What is a Reader Extended PDF?

Not sure if you are using Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC; two totally different products, the first being just that, a PDF viewer that allows the user to fill, sign and review a document and save a copy without being able to edit it. The Pro DC version is a full blown reader and editor. Please refer to the link below and see if this applies to your case. I am unable to open .jpg files - error returned saying adobe does not support - help please (Acrobat Reader) Nitro PDF is a full blown PDF editor too but as every vendor out there,  each PDF  product may balance pricing between ease of use, versus feature rich, versus professional editing tools, versus the audience of users that it was intended for. If, on the other hand, you are actually using  Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and you are currently working on a document that was scanned, then converted to PDF, you can copy and paste into, or, drag and drop an image from MS Word into your PDF document with no issues for example. So if the case is that you are actually using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, then I am not sure what the problem could be. Hhowever it would be worth notinga few things, as illustrated below: Click on "Edit" -- then select "Preferences" Scroll down to and check "Edit Settings" for  "Convert From PDF" and "Convert to PDF" and ensure that all the settings are set to their defaulted values (or change as needed) to see  if this works.

Hello Furuno_IT, I see that you are working with "Edit Text & Images" in your PDF document.

From re-reading your first paragraph a few times I am assuming that both of these forms are identical? Are Form A and Form B a single page in length each or do they have more pages? Also, I see that you mentioned creating duplicate fields; did you copy and pasted the fields in question from Form A to Form B , or, did you used the "Create Multiple Copies" instead and  then copy and pasted , or,  did you used "Duplicate Accros Pages" functions, or, a combination of all these methods without renaming the fields before the merge? Were the fields renamed after the merge? Is Form A and Form B using calculated fields? Do any of these fields need to  grab data from another field to populate other text fields? Are any of these non-working fields referencing to a date field? In any case (and, if so), lets say that if you used one form as a template to create another, and even if you changed the field names after merging both files into one,  you also need to edit the calculated fields under "Calculate" tab, and check that the arithmetic functions points out to the correct field name(s) to work. If this is the case all you have to do is change the field name values used in your calculations of Form A to adjust to the ones to be used in Form B... that should work. Can you provide a screenshot of the non-working fields here? As for obtaining a list of all the field names in your forms check the image below: The preview pane to the right margin of your work space will open and you can scroll down/up and navigate through all the field names across your document. You may delete, rename, create multiple copies, add or re-arrange the tabbing order of the fields in your document just by right-clicking on each  field name link. ... View more
