User Template

2008-11-21T17:48:35+00:00

It should be useful a place where users can upload your TEMPLETES to share with other users.
The most interesting then should be included in the default template…

But it’s possible?
What do you think about it?

Wish list

2008-11-21T17:41:18+00:00

There is a place for a wish list?

i need an example

2008-11-21T16:21:51+00:00

The last topic for me today!
My time for understanding is lowering…

I tryed to step and repeat but with no success at all.
I have difficulties to understand how it works and when it should be useful.

A configuration I frequently need is that figured in the attachment.
I’m not able to obtain in only one imposition.

I’m able with two imposition: it’s not the same but it works.
Otherwise, if I can make an improvement i try to do it!

defect on page after imposing

2008-11-21T14:41:36+00:00

I’m again here with a new post.
This time is a problem of quality of the imposed document

I attach 2 files (2 screenshots)
The file named “Image” is a screenshot of the original pdf built with Indesign CS4
The file named “Image2” is a screenshot of one imposed page.

The defect is around the text “gennaio 2009” and around the round image under the numeber of the day.
Not all the pages have this defect. Sometimes it appears only in le left imposed page but not in the right.

What about it?

Many thanks

Page per signature

2008-11-21T14:52:06+00:00

Perhaps a simple question.
But I can’t get out…

Suppose having a book of 52 pages
I decide to make the signatures “2 pages per side” maden by 5 sheets

Normally I obtain 3 segnature of 5 sheets for a total of 60 pages (10 blanks by default to the end, I think)

I’d like to obtain 2 segnature of 5 sheets and one segnature of only 3 sheets.
I think I can do it making 2 separate impositions and then add the 2 resulting files…

There’s a better way ?
Many thanks

Duplicate a page on a side of a page

2008-11-15T17:06:38+00:00

Hello everybody!
I’m a new customer! I just imposed my first book (the manual, obviously) and i’ve quickly searched a thing I need.
I didn’t found it…
So i’m here…

Well!

I’ d like to replicate every page of a book in the same side of a page twice (or more) times. I’ts useful wen you start from an A5: the booklet become A4 but my printer is A3. so I duplicate… Another case is when you have to print some little label. In that case I need to replicate more times

Is, all this, possible with this useful programm?

Many thanks everybody

Setting Form Field Font & Size

2008-11-12T18:47:15+00:00

I’m very new to PDF Clerk Pro. I’m using it to make a couple of PDF forms that I use fillable. I looked in the manual and it just says that I can set the font and font size but doesn’t seem to say how to do this.

How do I set the font and font size for the individual Form Fields?

Thanks,

Request For Auto Form Generation

2008-11-11T12:23:27+00:00

I look forward to making a pdf file that needs a working Table Of Contents. The 3 .mov files explaining it are terrific.

I need the same level of detail on “create and edit interactive PDF forms”, the product description’s line item (plus the rave reviews of the product and the support) which sold me on buying 2 licenses for PDFClerk Pro yesterday. I unfortunately only got two choices this life, and I chose Live well, and Live happy...I had to leave behind, “Able to glean wisdom from manuals that don’t spell it out for me.” I can’t figure out the “form creation” and “widget creation” actions.

I want to create forms. I have wanted to create forms for a long time. Of course, I want the computer to do all the work.

I want to layout a form in Word or Pages, import the form in those formats or as a pdf into PDFClerk Pro. (I did get that far. My .pdf import nicely.)

PDFClerk Pro should then look at all the possible check boxes and blank lines and 1) convert the checkbox or radio button or blank line to the proper PDFClerk widget or form box on the screen for modifying input there, eliminating wrong guesses and adding new check widgets or blanks to fill in, and simultaneously, 2) create a Form Inspection List of potential form items and their suggested titles.

The Form Inspector List would be easy to modify and of course add lines or subtract lines and change the tab order.

When the Form Inspector List is finished, it is in the format that can be imported to create the data points of a MySQL file that the form relates to. Eventually a widget could be designed to properly create or modify such a form in the manner that a web design tool uploads their output to a host provider.

Perhaps this is already done, and I just can’t glean how to do it from the manual. I can get the pdf of my form into PDFClerk Pro, but am stuck on the next steps. I don’t see the Form Inspector List under the Editors and Inspectors at all. I don see

As long as I am dreaming up the wish list for what I think of as a Form Creation feature, I would like to have;

An output mode that optimizes for different screen sizes. Thus, one version of the form will be appropriate for an iPhone screen, and another for the typical portable computer screen. This way, someone walking around doing an inspection using the form will have the appropriate requests in front of them.

Some items on the form should auto fill with the likely or most recent data.
Pull down menus of available choices (one as the standard) as well as ‘Other’ which brings up a blank to be filled in.

Auto Dates and time fields...the logical choices.
Self numbering pages.
Pop up boxes that explain a choice, or refers someone to a manual page. Or if the have the manual in the device, it will bring up a lot more data. Or if the device is attached to the web, it will bring up a lot more data.
Boxes which auto-tab to the next box when x number of numbers or letters are put in.
Flashing red lines of error data that come back to the person who doesn’t fill in a piece of data, or fills in the data in the wrong format (e.g., using numbers where letters only are allowed, not putting in Y amount of letters and/or numbers when Y amount is demanded. (These type of things would follow MySQL standards).

I believe I saw some of these things when I looked over the shoulder of someone who dropped my file onto Acrobat 8. We had less than a minute to poke around during that try, so I don’t know what the potential and limits of that tool are.

Obviously, you can see where I am heading...the ridiculous request that the data put into these forms generated by PDFClerk Pro will be able to auto-form into a pdf file in a reverse manner. But that’s another matter for another post.

Newbie’s question

2008-08-31T17:37:06+00:00

Hi,

Is it possible to edit the contents of a PDF document with PDFClerk? (I mean: is it possible to replace some words by my own?).

PDFPen can do the job, I’m now testing PDFClerk but I haven’t been able to find out how to edit a PDF document with it. I’m not sure that is possible, or is it? And if so, how?

Thanks,
