Maybe I need a real javascript to sign the document when approved, save it down to a jpg, rename the file appropriately, and drop it in the archive as a pdf since that is what the client desires. For nearly 10 thousand forms a year its still not enough. I ahve been trying different things with the action wizard and I can shorten the steps involved by about 30%. So what I need is a way to convert the interactive document to a completely flat ie " a screen capture" and save it to archive in a single move. Once the interactive function of the document is completed there is no reason for it to be editable anymore as flattening allows. But the same Javascript does not work on Acrobat XI. One click on this flattening toolbar flattens any image or stamps.
That automatically created a flattening toolbar in the Acrobat menu. There is obviously a reason since I am asking for a way to do it. With Acrobat 9, I used a javascript (FlattenPages.js). You might as well just take a screen capture." You can use 'Save As' in Acrobat to export the pages of a PDF to image files but you lose every possible advantage of the PDF file format. PDF Software Development, Training and More."There's no way to do that with one button, and quite frankly no reason anyone should be doing it. Theres no way to do that with one button, and quite frankly no reason anyone should be doing it. It will reduce the quality of your PDF file, and you should only do it if you know exactly what the consequences are. This will also flatten your stamp.Īs far as printing the PDF to another PDF goes (we refer to this as "refrying" a PDF), this is almost always a bad idea. Once the tool is up, search for "flatten", you should find the Fixup "Flatten Annotations and Form fields". There is one more option you can use, and that is to use the Preflight tool (only available in Acrobat Pro). Once I know what operating system and version of Acrobat you have, I will let you know where to install the script.
One way to prevent this is through flattening. Here is a tutorial about how to use the Javascript console: īut, the easiest way to setup a flattening procedure is using the script from PDFScripting. While most PDFs tend to be read-only by default, if you’re using a dedicated editor, they can still be edited. You can also bring up the JavaScript console (Ctrl-J or Cmd-J), and then execute the same line from above. This will flatten all pages in all documents that you run this action on. Here you can then enter the following one line script: this.flattenPages() If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can create a new Action with the Action Wizard, and then add a "Execute JavaScript" action step from the "More Tools" category. Which one is it? You do mention the "Adobe PDF" printer, so I assume it's Acrobat, but is it Standard or Professional? There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either using Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader.
