America’s first CTO Officer – What does it mean to Acrobat Users?

I was both elated and disappointed at the notion of President Obama appointing the nation’s first CTO Officer. I know it’s been some time since the appointment, but I’m late on posts to blogs, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and a bunch of other sites.

101 Forms eTips

I just returned from the Acrobat Central Conference in Omaha Nebraska. The weather was about the same as last year... that's blistering cold for someone who lives in the tropics. But in spite of the weather, I had a great time talking to Acrobat users from many different professions and picked up some tips from my friends and colleagues such as Bob Connolly, Thom Parker, and Ali Hanyaloglu.

Enabling Adobe Reader Users Options for Importing Images on Forms

You may have a need to use a button field on a form for adding an image to the PDF file —something like an employee ID form or an application that requires a photo to be submitted with the form.

What happened to the Go to Bridge tool?

For those who use the Adobe Creative Suite, you may have noticed the appearance of the Go to Bridge tool (see Figure 1) in the File toolbar in Acrobat and the addition of the Browse command in the File menu. Some of you may have seen the tool appear in Acrobat 8.0, but lost it after installing Acrobat 8.1.

OpenSource.org PDF Forms

I recently downloaded OpenOffice.org for my Mac and Windows machines. Perhaps many of you have been working with OpenOffice much longer, but this is a report of my initial flirtation with the programs and I wanted to see what kinds of PDF related things I could do with OpenOffice.org Writer. Particularly in the area of creating PDF forms.

Simplifying Form Field Duplications

I’ve been gearing up for the Acrobat Central Conference being held in Council Bluffs, IA on October 23 and 24 for several weeks now. I needed to do an overhaul on all my demo files, so it’s taken me several weeks to prepare for my sessions and workshops.

Creating Slide Presentations Using InDesign and Acrobat

One thing that always surprises me when I sit in an Adobe conference room or attend a conference session led by an Adobe employee is watching a Powerpoint presentation on an LCD.

Buttons on Adobe PDF Layers

If you create a PDF document with Adobe PDF layers such as exporting layered files from Illustrator or Adobe InDesign and add a button field to the PDF, the button appears on each layer. It's like the button has it's own layer and you can't assign a button field to a specific layer.
