No bueno, not sure there is a way. It pops up with a little warning before deleting that states it can’t be undone.

Back when we used to have Foxit PDF creator, I found it to unlock certain docs when printing to PDF. Do not know if this is still the case.
Are these single sheets or multi-page docs?
If single sheet, you could always take a screenshot for a one off work around.

Sorry for the delay, I seem to be creating a mountain of volunteer projects 😬.
Long story short, there is a customizable PDF form that I am creating (discussion is here: https://uchapter2.com/brainery/javascript/forum/topic/isaac-harned-here-for-forms-with-javascript/#post-135307), but not everyone in the office enjoys entering data on the PDF, which is understandable with the loss of keyboard flexibility. Once it’s in the field it is actually much more workable on ipad. As an option for the office, I am basically creating an input form.

OK, I am playing with this a bit today, and this could work, but I think it’s gonna take a little finagling. Just as a quick explanation: I have 12 Terminal unit sections on the page with lines built in for Grille data. Each of these lines will have fields that are named by ‘Terminal#-Row#’. I will have to find a way to concatenate this in the middle before the final merge for the FDF format, i.e. “Mark-1” in the first column will end up as “Mark1-1”. Seems like a split first, then store as separate and concatenate, not too bad. It will take me some time to get another round here but I will get back with something here semi-soon.
Unfortunately my job consists of the highest complexity takeoffs, plus training, plus develop new workflows, so timing gets very sporadic. Thank you guys for your patience!

Copy copy, that’s where I landed as well. Thank you for looking!

Hmm that’s not encouraging, but sounds right. I have had various glitches when it comes to these form fields and modifying their properties en masse, and it is a very similar glitch. I will try this out and report back =)

Ah for bluebeam, yes, but unfortunately I am trying Mitch’s suggestion of saving Excel as FDF

– All field names consistent across templates.
– Form will be blank when importing.
– No reverse necessary, once it’s in the pdf it’s good. These data files will be used year over year and the transfer from PDF to new version of PDF is easy enough

Maybe I am missing it, or maybe its a type of export that I didn’t see in the data tab, but these are the options I have for Save as file type:

Thank you @mitchyoungs will try this out. I don’t know why I did not try this myself 😅

I will have to look into this, may be a few days though.
