Some
PDF files may be difficult to import into Designer. Conversion problems
can depend both on the application used to produce the PDF file
and on choices made when the source document was authored. For example,
these original sources of PDF files have proven difficult to import
into Designer:
Digipath files, which are converted to one large image
that cannot be edited
Microsoft Word, when the document has not been specifically
designed as a form
You can reduce possible conversion problems by being aware of
these issues:
Fonts are substituted if a font used on the form is not
installed when you import the form. If a font is substituted, text
will not appear exactly as in the original form.
If you are using Acrobat to create PDF files, do not build
the form by using drawing annotations only.
When an image in a PDF form contains a large number of lines,
such as a vector-based image, Designer needs a significant amount
of time to process the lines during an import operation. For faster
processing, remove the image from the source file that is used to
create the PDF. If required, you can reinsert the image after you
save the form design in Designer. If the source file is not available,
deleting the image from the form in Designer will improve performance
of the form.
If you are having conversion problems and you have access
to the source files for the original form, try re-creating the PDF
by using Distiller. If the original PDF was not created correctly,
re-creating it may resolve the issue.
