    How can I manipulate structure tags in LiveCycle XML form

    Danny Occoquan Community Member

      Have a form that was created in LiveCycle by another company. 

       

      Need to make it a flat, tagged, PDF, i.e., to look like the form but not have actual fields.

       

      It has structure tags, but they're not acceptable, and in Acrobat I'm unable to manipulate them.

       

      When I go to LiveCycle and look at PDF Structure tags, it just has this message: "PDF Structure can only be used in PDF forms that contain artwork."

       

      When I try to optimize the form fields away in Acrobat, it says "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized"

       

      Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

          Had to keep moving with this, hopefully someone will come up with a better solution, here's how I got a flat PDF: saved the form as encapsulated postscript, then in Windows Explorer right-clicked on the *.eps files and converted to PDF ... had to delete the useless tags that were created during that process, retagging manually ... but it's giving me what I need. I was surprised at no loss of resolution, and all the text is taggable.
