How do I save a form as an xml document?

Ryan F posted this a while ago - this is exactly my problem and I can't explain it any better, so here it is: I am creating a form using Acrobat 8 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer. End users will be using Adobe Reader. LiveCycle offers a "Submit by Email" button that exports form data as XML and attaches it to an email. I need similar functionality in a Save button. I want users to save form data as XML locally (no email). Also, is there a way to set the default save directory?

Anyone? Im also frustrated about this

how can i save my form design as a pdf?

You will need to have a paid FormsCentral account (Basic or Plus) or a copy of Acrobat Pro XI.
If using a paid FormsCentral account with the form open for editing you select file menu File-> Save As PDF Form...
If using Acrobat Pro XI you will create the form using FormsCentral for Acrobat and select menu File-> Save As PDF Form...

Hey David, add some security to it. You can even keep people from printing it if you want to, or even need a password to open it.

How can I make my form be a certified document?

Hi all,
In my form, I want to export xml by using the script "Reference_Syntax.exportData( [ STRING param1 [, BOOLEAN param2 ] ])",
for example, xfa.host.exportData("filename.xml",0).
However, it is invalid.
It says that "This parameter1 is only valid on certified documents where the user has sufficient
permissions".
But how can I make my form be a certified document, or how can I get the sufficient permissions?
Script "xfa.host.exportData("",0)" can be valid, but what I need is specifying the location and file name so that users can export xml just by clicking the button.
Can I achieve this function?
Waiting for your reply, thanks a lot!
Ellie

Please take a look at this discussion. Also, are your end users using Adobe Reader? If so, your document must be Reader Enabled withed LiveCycle RE to use the import / export xml functionality.

HOw do I save a form once it is completed for future use in windows 7

How do I save an adobe form once I have completed it for future use? I have windows 7 and the only option is to save a blank form.

That could be caused by a couple of reasons.
If it is an IRS form, they use a server side solution to enable forms so Reader users can save them. It's very expensive and word is that they have not updated this solution to work with the latest versions of Reader. So you would have to use the older version.
With the new version of Acorbat, people can now enable forms so Reader users can save them (which is a much cheaper solution than the above scenario) but you need Adobe Reader 7 or better to use this function.

It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite. How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

"save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite (File > Save as) How can I save an existing spreadsheet so that I can modify the data, rename it , and save it as a new document?

To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!! It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer. The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar. Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2. This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.) Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple! Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful. Case and point; it's not gone!!!

How to use adifferent Show form to display a document created by XML forms

Hi,
I have created some XML documents using an XML form.
The XML form contains two Show forms, Show & Show2. The default is Show. When I view the XML document via a KM Docs iView the default Show form is used to display the resource.
If I wish to display the XML document using a KM Docs iView, but using the Show2 (non-default) form how is this done?
I have created Layout Sets for each of the different ways to display the XML forms, but there is no option to choose Layout Set in the KM Docs iView config.
Thanks,
Tom

How do i save a JTextPane's content XML-formated?

I want to save a JTextPane's content XML-formated and also want to read the content from a stored XML-file back.
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You will need to write the XML output yourself and use either SAX or DOM and an XML parser ( such as xerces from Apache ) to read the XML file back in.

How to extract the nodes of any given XML document ???

The views use XPath expressions and functions such as extractValue() to define the mapping between columns in the view and nodes in the XML document. The following view is created on purchase order schema.
Creating Relational Views On XML Content
CREATE OR REPLACE view PURCHASEORDER_MASTER_VIEW
(REFERENCE, REQUESTOR, USERID, COSTCENTER,
SHIP_TO_NAME,SHIP_TO_ADDRESS, SHIP_TO_PHONE,
INSTRUCTIONS)

extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Requestor'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/User'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/name'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/address'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/telephone'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions')
FROM PURCHASEORDER p;
When we register XML Schema in Oracle 9i, the schema elements of XML documents are stored as XMLType, that is, stored using object-relational storage techniques.
For a small schema, we could build the above view manually, but for large/nested schema, if we have query to build XML documents node list, it will help us to build Relational Views on XML Content.
How do we extract the nodes of any given XML document through O-R structures or XML DB using XML DB functions?
Any alternate thoughts are welcome.
I appreciate your help.

Once again, I do not think that you can solve the problem you are trying to solve. Fundamentally you need to determine for a given element of a given complex type what are it's child elements. For each of those elements you then need to find out whether or not it in turn has child elements...
Then you have to think about elements defined as ref rather than type, elements that are substituteable, and the rest of possibilities that can be described with XML Schema.
If you can solve that problem you're a better man than I as the saying goes. Anyone rather than give you a fish, I'll show you how to at least put a worm on the hook..
The following query gets the names of the elements inside a each of the global complex types
Good luck, if you come up with a query to do this I'd love to see it...

How to obtain the encoding scheme for an XML document

How do you go about reading the encoding scheme for an XML document??
More specifically how do I read the line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
(Using Win32 C++ XML Parser 2.0.3 as SAX).
null

I work mostly with the Java versions of the parser so you'll have to make the translation to C++. As far as I know, you can't use the SAX API to access to the encoding.
You need to use the DOM along with Oracle's extension to the basic DOM functionality. Oracle's package, oracle.xml.parser.v2 defines a class which implements the Document interface called XMLDocument. This class has a method, getEncoding(), which returns the encoding. You would use the method in getDocument() in the Parser base class inherited by DOMParser to retrive the XMLDocument.

How do I using Workshop's XMLMap Defined XML Document ?

Hi ,
I wonder that how can call the Workshop's XMLMap Defined Document in Java
Application Client.
I need to get not returned Object but returned XML Document in Java
Application Client.
Regards.

Here's a more complete example:
* @jws:operation
public org.w3c.dom.Document getPurchaseOrderAsDocument() throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
Document doc = null;
try
DocumentBuilderFactory fact = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = fact.newDocumentBuilder();
doc = db.parse(new InputSource(new FileInputStream(new File("c:/temp/mypo.xml"))));
catch (IOException ioe)
throw new SAXException("IO exception occurred", ioe);
catch (ParserConfigurationException pce)
throw new SAXException("JAXP Parser configuration exception occurred", pce);
return doc;

How to repetively save a form with a single name.

I have to fill in, save, edit, save, update, save several U.S. govt forms that require me to save as a new name each time. This may require me to end up with 5 different file names of the same form. If I can save it as PDF Rev 1, why can't each change be resaved to PDF Rev 1 (if I OK overwrite) instead of making me create PDF Rev 2, PDF Rev 3, etc., etc., ad infinitum after each change, no matter how minor (e.g., correct spelling of one word)?
How can I get around this constant renaming of the same file?

The iPad does not have a file system like the PC or Mac so there isn't a "SAVE AS" option. I'm not sure how a form in Numbers is being stored but most apps store their forms as records with each record having some unique record name. The record should be able to be viewed, renamed and exported into some other file format such as CSV, PDF, XML, etc.
If you can't get Numbers to work, I'd try FormConnect. I've been using it for about a year now and I'm very pleased with how it works.

How can i save a form in adobe reader than only allows you to type info but doesnt allow you to save

I have a file that i need to email to someone, however when i fill in the information at the bottom of the page i have an option to submit via email or print... when i submit via email, it states its being sent but the person on the other end doesnt receive it. what else can i do?

I tried numerous of times to submit it but the person on the other end is not receiving it. I am able to print it though!
I was trying to attach the file to the an email but it doesnt save the info. I have been trying different things and nothing is working. what else can I do?
i have the file and i tried to insert the image for you to see, but it gave me an error " [The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
Yeah, THAT'S a limitation which was set when the original author created and saved the form. You CANNOT undo it with Reader. You may be able to with Acrobat Pro, but if the PDF has DRM you can't touch it.

How can I save a form with database connections with the info w/o requiring the connection again?

I have a form in LiveCycle ES2 that has an ODBC connection to an Access 2007 database. The form works great and all the data populates the form just fine, but next I need a way to save the generated form with the data so it can be sent and signed by people who won't (and can't) have a connection to the database. I am developing on a Windows 7, 64 bit machine and have Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and Adobe Reader X.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I tried saving the form as Reader Extended in Acrobat Pro, but if I close the form I saved as extended, it still prompts for the data connection. Is there some setting in Adobe LiveCycle in the properties that maybe needs to be set? I have it set as a Dynamic XML Form. In form properties, there is a tab called data binding, should I have "Allow binding to data not defined by the default data connection" checked? Wasn't sure what "Add data nodes inside the filtered data hierarchy" would do either.
