I like to paste but have an option to retain all formatting but have all images stripped. This is particularly useful when users are pasting content from emails to record against a trouble ticket but don't want the image content to be included namely as most of the time the images are in the signature of the emails and in long threads these images don't paste well
I know we can do a ctrl-shift-v paste which does plain text but it loses all the formatting which is a plain than for a user to go through a big paste and format the message
I like this feature either with a new button or a popup asking user if they like to strip out images when an image is detected in a paste
I am trying to save a pdf which opens via Web link and after saving want to read all texts present in the PDF file.
I have tried to save it by sending "send keys" (CTRL+SHIFT+S) as used in BP but was not able to save it.
Also, for reading the data present in PDF(any other pdf) tried with sending key strokes CTRL+A and CTRL+C but was not successful.
Theoretically, (if you haven't done this already) you could create an object + model that attaches to the open (running).pdf instance, then with the spied element of save button/option in your .pdf, proceed from there with further elements/clicks to save it wherever you want. This should be a few clicks using Navigate stages. Same principle if you are using sendkeys; you still need to use the root element on the model that attaches/launches the .pdf. If you haven't done this, the sendkeys are just never going to work. As to capturing the contents, I am not aware of any downloadable VBOs that will do this, I know there are some from MS Word to capture stuff in tables, etc... into a Collection stage, but not for .pdf. You can try the sendkeys again once you are sure you are using the root element of the correct model, or you might have a go at creating your own solution using a code stage.
I have an existing PDF template, and I want to add some text over the top of it in a specific location on a specific page. For example, an invoice template or a scanned document.
How would I go about this? I'm using Sheets if that narrows my options.
There is a lot of documentation on how to create PDFs from documents, but nothing that will take a particular PDF and put text over it.
A bit of blue sky thinking from my side. What if you were to do the following?
Manually:
Export the PDF as an image
Resize a Google slide to be the same shape as the image
Add the image to the google slide as a background image
In Code:
Make a copy of the google slide as needed
Add your Google sheets data to the slide positioned as needed on the slide
Export the Google slide as a pdf
I mention google slides, because Google docs to not have allow background images.
Another possibility with using Google docs is to build a document that looks like your invoice, then add to it tags. In your code search for the tags and replace them with data from your sheet. Even you could use a mail merge addon to do this if you didn't fancy writing any code.
In your Google Drive right-click on your PDF;
Open With > Connect More Apps > Search docusign > Left-click blue connect button and this should take you to Docusign.
Your PDF will then open with Docusign where you can manually add a signature or text to specific places.
Alternatively... You can use App Script.
Example,
Constructing a document using HTML and replacing the specific value with a variable which is collect from a Sheet or particular location. Writing the function to do this will allow you to interpret the HTML and replace the variable with the text or possibly an image. Then it would create this as a PDF.
There are many alternative ways to do this.
Here is one example on github;
Convert Google Doc to PDF using App Script
I am creating a Smart/Fillable PDF using Acrobat Pro DC.
I created a word file with 250+ fields(in a tabular manner), exported to PDF and then in "Prepare form" options I added checkboxes, dropdowns and a couple of buttons and the form is ready. Now I want to add 50+ more fields into that PDF but if i follow the same procedure export to PDF and then "Prepare form" then i shall loose all the old validations and scripts I have written initially.
To overcome this scenario I tried a couple of things that didn't work for me:
Go to "Edit PDF" option and try editing PDF but that did not work as that option helps editing text and images but I have fields in a tabular format so in case if I want to add a table with N x N fields not possible
Tried to copy all elements including textbox,checkbox,dropdowns buttons etc but cannot copy all at once, tried then in a small group like 15-15 and that worked but still I had to reposition so not a feasible way
Tried to export the elements including textbox,checkbox,dropdowns buttons etc but Acrobat Pro DC doesn't help
Many other manipulative things but didn't help.
Please help me to overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance.
If you change the background of the form, you would first open the old version, and then replace the pages with the ones from the new version. This does not affect any form fields, so, only some repositioning may be necessary.
Then you go to the form edit mode (or use the Select Object Tool (single key accelerator R)) and you can select the fields you want to copy and either drag-copy if you are on the same page, copy/paste them, or duplicate them on other pages (via Context menu of the selected field in edit mode).
Another potentially important hint: deactivate Save as… optimizes for fast web view when working with forms.
I've got a form that I downloaded, I'd like to prefill some content on the form (this is easy using cfpdfform).
Where it gets tricky is I would like to allow the user to modify the contents of that form, and then somehow have those modified contents accessible to me. I didnt build the source PDF so I dont know how to allow the user to "save" the new contents so they can be read.
Any ideas on where I might start on this one?
You can also use the cfpdfform tag to read/write data to a PDF file which has a form. The important thing is that the PDF document already have the form fields available, or that you add them.
I just recently completed a task where I had to have a user fill out a normal web form, and then create a filled version of an existing PDF document. It worked like a breeze!
I think that depending on what you are trying to accomplish, having the user fill out the data in a web form is less confusing than serving up a PDF and expecting them to save that to update a file on a remote server. Just my opinion, though.

It's possible for users to complete most PDF forms in Adobe Reader, but when user's try to save the changes they get a popup prompting them that the PDF cannot be saved and would need to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat to have this functionality.
Since Acrobat 7 (or possibly) 8 it's possible to create a form so that it can be completed and saved in reader. In Acrobat open your PDF, and select Advanced -> Enable usage right in reader from the menu. This will prompt you to save the form and then anyone using Adobe reader can complete it.
Once that's done you can open the form in ColdFusion, populate some of the fields and serve it up to the user. Once they fill it in, save it and get it back in ColdFusion you can read the contents using the PDF related tags.
Please note: It's currently not possible to set the "enable usage rights in reader" flag from ColdFusion, you need a copy of Adobe Acrobat or access to Adobe LifeCycle server to do this.
