Delete Page Grayed Out

And you created the form using LiveCycle Designer so the form is not a PDF form but an XML form. You will need to use LiveCycle Designer to modify the form.

Where do I find the LiveCycle Designer and when I modify the form will I lose all the information that I have entered in the form?

gkaiseril,

If tamera0317 wanted to keep the info that has been entered into the form fields and then delete unwanted pages from the PDF form would one or both of the following work?

1) Print the form to the PDF printer and then edit the resulting PDF pages as desired.

or

2) Advanced > PDF Optimizer...select Discard Objects and check Flatten form fields. Then edit unwanted pages.What say you?

The problem is the inclusion of XML data in the PDF and trying to process the XML code as PDF objects. This just can not be done. XML code can be displayed by Acrobat, but it just does not contain the necessary PDF objects, dictionaries, etc to process as a PDF. Because of this deletion of pages is not possible, PDF Optimizer will not work, flattening does not work.

One could print the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and delete the pages, but this will prevent all additional processing of the PDF form. Such processing would include submitting the form to a server, gathering the data in a Excel spreadsheet for further analysis, adding the form data to a database.

gkaiseril,

When tamera0317 stated "Where do I find the LiveCycle Designer and ..."
My assumption (perhaps incorrect) was she simply needed the completed form field info minus the pages to delete, and not a live form anymore. I never got the indication she needed to edit a live XML based form since she didn't know where to launch LiveCycle Designer from.

Thanks for the reply.

That is the price of trying to change the form.
