• I have PDFCreator and 'PrimoPDF' installed, as well as some other print software. Now I own Adobe Acrobat and used it to save content in an Adobe XML-Form file.
• HOME > Change PDF Versions using Acrobat. PDF 1.7 XML Forms; Acrobat 7. Choose “Adobe PDF Files, Optimized” from the Type menu.

Follow these steps to use Adobe Acrobat to turn a scanned paper form or a simple form made in Microsoft Word. Creating and distributing PDF forms.

Primary OCR Language: The language for the OCR engine to use to identify the characters. The default is English (US).

PDF Output Style: Select Searchable Image to have a bitmap image of the pages in the foreground and the scanned text on an invisible layer beneath. The appearance of the page does not change, but the text becomes selectable and readable. Select Formatted Text & Graphics to reconstruct the original page by using recognized text, fonts, pictures, and other graphic elements. The default is Searchable Image (Exact).

Downsample Images: Decreases the number of pixels in color, grayscale, and monochrome images. Downsampling of scanned images is performed after OCR is complete. The default is Lowest (600 dpi). This option is not available if you set PDF output style to Searchable Image (Exact). You can change the default value for the Adobe PDF settings, security settings, and file type settings that apply to newly created sources. Changing the defaults does not affect the settings of existing sources.

In Administration Console, click Services PDF Generator. On the Adobe PDF Settings, File Type Settings, or Security Settings page, click Set Default Settings. Select your preferred default settings. One or more of the following settings are available on the Set Default Settings page: Adobe PDF Setting: The original default is Standard (Acrobat 6). Security Settings: The original default is No Security (Acrobat 5). File Type Settings: The original default is Standard. Click Save.

Unembed all fonts: Unembeds all embedded fonts. Do not unembed any font: Does not unembed any fonts.

Unembed some fonts: Unembeds only the specified fonts. Follow these steps to specify the fonts that you want to unembed:. If necessary, select a different fonts directory from the Font source drop-down menu. This drop-down menu lists fonts directories specified in Home Settings Core System Core Configurations. Select one or more fonts from the Available Fonts list and click Add. These fonts are added to the Fonts to Unembed list.

If you want to unembed some fonts that don’t exist on the forms server, enter the names of those fonts in the Add fonts to unembed box. Select Images to specify compression and resampling options for color, grayscale, and monochrome images. You may want to experiment with these options to find an appropriate balance between file size and image quality.The resolution setting for color and grayscale images should be 1.5 to 2 times the line screen ruling at which the file will be printed. The resolution for monochrome images should be the same as the output device, but be aware that saving a monochrome image at a resolution higher than 1500 dpi increases the file size without noticeably improving image quality. Images that will be magnified, such as maps, may require higher resolutions.

Select Discard Objects to specify objects to remove from the PDF and to optimize curved lines in CAD drawings. Discard All Form Submission, Import And Reset Actions: Disables all actions that are related to submitting or importing form data, and resets form fields. This option retains form objects that actions are linked to. Discard All JavaScript Actions: Removes from the PDF any actions that use JavaScript. Discard Embedded Page Thumbnails: Removes embedded page thumbnails. This option is useful for large documents, which can take a long time to draw page thumbnails after you click the Pages button.

Convert Smooth Lines To Curves: Reduces the number of control points used to build curves in CAD drawings, which results in smaller PDF files and faster onscreen rendering. Discard Embedded Print Settings: Removes embedded print settings, such as page scaling and duplex mode, from the document. Discard Bookmarks: Removes all bookmarks from the document. Flatten Form Fields: Makes form fields unusable with no change to their appearance. Form data is merged with the page to become page content.

Discard All Alternate Images: Removes all versions of an image except the version that is destined for onscreen viewing. Some PDFs include multiple versions of the same image for different purposes, such as low-resolution onscreen viewing and high-resolution printing. Discard Document Tags: Removes tags from the document, which also removes the accessibility and reflow capabilities for the text. Detect And Merge Image Fragments: Looks for images or masks that are fragmented into thin slices and tries to merge the slices into a single image or mask. Discard Embedded Search Index: Removes embedded search indexes, which reduces file size. Discard All Comments, Forms And Multimedia: Removes all comments, forms, form fields, and multimedia from the PDF.

Discard All Object Data: Removes all objects from the PDF. Discard External Cross References: Removes links to other documents. Links that jump to other locations within the PDF are not removed.

Discard Hidden Layer Content And Flatten Visible Layers: Decreases file size. The optimized document looks like the original PDF but does not contain layer information.

Discard Document Information And Metadata: Removes information in the document information dictionary and all metadata streams. (Use the Save As command to restore metadata streams to a copy of the PDF.).

Discard File Attachments: Removes all file attachments, including attachments added to the PDF as comments. (PDF Optimizer does not optimize attached files.). Discard Private Data Of Other Applications: Strips information from a PDF document that is useful only to the application that created the document.

This setting does not affect the functionality of the PDF, but it does decrease the file size. Select Clean Up to remove unnecessary items from the document.

These items include elements that are obsolete or unnecessary for your intended use of the document. Removing certain elements can seriously affect the functionality of the PDF. By default, only elements that do not affect functionality are selected. If you are unsure of the implications of removing other options, use the default selections. Compression Select one of the following Flate compression options from the drop-down menu:. Compress entire file.

Compress document structure. Remove compression. Leave compression untouched Use Flate To Encode Streams That Are Not Encoded: Applies Flate compression to all streams that are not encoded. Discard Invalid Bookmarks: Removes bookmarks that point to pages in the document that are deleted. Discard Unreferenced Named Destinations: Removes named destinations that are not being referenced internally from within the PDF document. This option does not check for links from other PDF files or websites.

Optimize The PDF For Fast Web View: Restructures a PDF document for page-at-a-time downloading (byte-serving) from web servers. In Streams That Use LZW Encoding, Use Flate Instead: Applies Flate compression to all content streams and images that use LZW encoding. Discard Invalid Links: Removes links that jump to invalid destinations. Optimize Page Content: Converts all end-of-line characters to space characters, which improves Flate compression.

Adobe Xml Forms Cannot Be Merged

HTML. XML Tagged PDF: Enables creation of tagged PDF from OpenOffice documents.

Tagged PDF contains information about the structure of the document contents. This can help when displaying the document on devices with different screens, and when using screen reader software. It also helps accessibility software to perform various useful operations with the PDF document, such as reading aloud the contents of the PDF document.

This is useful if you are printing a PDF document double-sided. For example, a book may be configured so that the first page of chapter always starts on an odd-numbered page. If the previous chapter ends on an odd-numbered page, OpenOffice insets a blank even-numbered page. This option controls whether to include that even-numbered page in the generated PDF.
