Extracting pages from form

Avatar

Level 2

I have a multiple page form (4 forms built into one)  that once I try to extract a single part I loose all of the from filling capabilities. Is there a way to keep that when you extract a page. Also along the same line- is there a way to extract a pre set single page (usable) with the print button?

Extracting pages from a form and keeping them interactive (usable) is not doable because of cross page dependancies and reliance on root subform containers.

I assume you are doing this after the form is filled in. If the form is an XFA form then you coudl extract the data, manipulate the base form to pull out a blank page, then remerge the data back onto the form (single page). This would involve lots of code (not javascript in the PDF) - XML manipulation.  If you are not code savvy then I woudl not even attempt it.

You don't have an object called Page4.

In the hierarchy rename the (untitled Subform) (page 4) to Page4 and the script will work.

You can confirm that the object is valid by typing "Page4." and you'll get the object browser to shoe the properties of the object.

Hi Jasmin,

Just a few more questions, I can't get rid of the "Distribute Form" field ( the purple box at the top) in the PDF is there a way to remove this?

Also I have the hidden page showing up on opening the file without using the password after a save... is there a way to keep it hidden until the password is applied?

Thank you,

Robin
