Importing Form Fields

[Pat_Gilmour@adobeforums.com]

Hi,
I have a PDF file with hundreds of form fields in it and I want to import the form fields (their content is irrelevant) into another PDF. I can do this copying and pasting or even by dragging the whole page into the new PDF, but I was wondering if there is any way of exporting the actual fields and importing them into the new document.
Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat,

As you are aware, you can both import/export form contents - but the
form fields themselves are a bit more awkward.

You can duplicate nUp in the same document - but not export as such.

Could you use the Replace pages command in the document (after a
SAVE-AS) to leave the fields where they are - and bring in the new data?

Otherwise, I was under the impression that you could use the Windows
based LiveCycle Designer application to gain more control over fields -
also link via ADBC ... but then that's another story ;-)

Hope you're well!

Jon

Wotcher Jon,
Thanks for the suggestions - think this one is going to be gruntwork however. What you can do is select one field then Apple+A and it selects all the others. These can then be pasted into the new doc. Then you have the fun of repositioning them...
You in Islington on the 26th? Pat

OK then - make sure to go into single / continous mode and then you'll
be able to select all ....

Yep - there for 2 days and 6 Acrobat sessions ..

Cheers!
