I need to enter in headers and footers, and I've been told to open the form in Adobe Acrobat, go to Document > Header & Footer > Add.

I've tried this, but my options (add, update, and remove) are "grayed out" and I'm not able to select any of them.

How do I get this to work? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Wendy

Hi wendye,

How did you create the form? If it is a LiveCycle Designer form you cannot add headers/footers with Acrobat, and that would explain those options being greyed out.

Hope that helps,

But isn't there another trick in this area. What I've done is generate a Word doc from livecycle. Then - using Word - make a header/footer. This is great if you've a "table" type, eg Author, Date, Approved By, Version etc etc...
Now from this create your PDF file, then use the 'Field Recognition' -this will catch the headers/footers (yes really!), and bingo!

Now - the only snag that rears up at this point is - let's say you've Title for this page you cant get it to appear before the "Table Heading"

Any ideas folks??

I have th same problem, but I haven't used livecycle. Created a PDF from multiple word files, and cannot acess Header & footer. Some of the word documents have a header already - but that shouldn't be a problem?Thanks if any help can be provided,
