First the preliminaries:
My setup and tools -
- Windows Platform
- Acrobat XI
- LiveCycle Designer ES4
- InDesign CS6
We have a 1 page, preprinted form that we need to overlay with formfield data.
I took a spec PDF of the form and adjusted in within InDesign. I saved the PDF, and opened in within LiveCycle Designer. I created all of the form fields that were needed for the form, and saved the PDF as static.
I use vb and a jso to first open a new copy of the PDF and then fill each field. Then I open the filled PDF and I print the form fields only.
THE PROBLEM
Different printers print the form fields in different locations. I always choose "Actual Size", but when our different offices print to the different printers, there are slight variations in the x and y placement of the fields (left to right and up and down).
I envision a pair of fields (one for x and one for y) that do not print, but contain a number that specifies a correction factor, and causes the fields to move together. How can I effect a solution the most closely matches what I am looking for?
Thank you.
