Adobe Form; Fields missing in form response file & .csv export

I created a form in Adobe Livecycle 8 and everything was working fine. Our company upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and now when I receive a form response via email, some of the data elements to not show up in the 'response file', therefore the data elements cannot be exported into excel. I am using 'compile returned forms' and following the wizard so I don't know what I'm missing. I am at a loss and am under a time crunch to get this fixed. Any help would be appreciated!

SOLVED
No errors when I go on the page for upload.
I solved by restarting the portal.

Fields Missing in Form Response File CSV Export

I've distributed a survey designed in LiveCycle 8.2 which has been completed by a number of users and returned via email. I then imported those submitted forms in to the repsonse file. When I export those responses in a CSV (and pull them in to Excel), a number of fields are not included. After a little digging, it seems that I failed to give those fields a custom name when designing the form. This seems to be the only consistency, so I have to assume this is the cause. Firstly, is this case?
Secondly, what is the best way to correct the situation. I anticipate receiving over 60 more responses, so I do not want to have to enter data by hand. I've tried renaming the field in the response file -- no effect. I've tried also updating the form and creating a new response file. The submitted forms were added (though I did receive a warning that not every field mapped) and those fields which had not previously been named were full of nulls -- I assume they could not be mapped due to the difference in the underlying field name.
Resending the form is really not an option at this point -- I will be getting more forms like this over the next weeks. What is the best way for me to get all of the responses in to my excel file? Thanks.

Putting Adobe Forms (Response Files) Online

I have created an online application form. Though the location of my form resides on my computer (I also uploaded the form to a website). The response file is located on my home computer.
When people fill out the form and click submit, it only works if my computer is attached to the Internet which has frequent downtime, so I want to place the response file (I think that is what I have to do) on a website I have hosted that is always up 100% of the time.
Though I can edit the file location of the response file, it does not allow me to put in website information.
1. Is all I need to do is place the response file on my Internet Web Site to ensure that it will work 100% of the time and users won't get a message?
2. How do I do that?

My question doesn't quite fit under this category - but I cannot seem to submit a new questions. So here it goes....
I am creating three different forms for an upcoming international conference. I would like to include a submit button on the form. I would like this to result in the PDF file being sent to an online storage file (not Acrobat's site) such as Google sites.
When I edit the properties of the button there is a field labeled "Enter a URL for this link" and I am assuming that this is where I could set this up, but I've not been able to figure out how.
Alternatively, what is that field labeled "Enter a URL for this link" for anyhow?

Can I create a new form response file if the original is missing

I distributed a form through acrobat.com. And now I cannot find the form_responses file (the form_distributed file is gone for that matter too). I do not want to send out a new form for people to fill out, as it would be too difficult logistically.
Is there some way to create a new response file - perhaps using the original form - that can download the data from Acrobat.com?.
Thanks,
Matthew

Creating a new file with the extension Filename_responses will not collect the previously distributed form data. If you have the original _responses file, try copying it back to the actual location. However, the information for the distributed forms are still saved in a file named "adhocWorkflow". The information inside this file determines the distributed form data and other workflows.

How do I reconnect a distributed form/response file created in 9 to XI so I can get my responses?

I've created quite a few forms in Adobe Pro 9 and have recently been upgraded to Adobe Pro XI. When I opened my response files I get a message that the response file is no longer connected to the server. How do I reconnect it so I can pick up the data that has been entered and is waiting for me to download? BTW, when XI was downloaded, it wrote over the Pro 9 program. Please tell me there is a way to do this so I don't lose what has already been entered and have to redo it all.

This is the Adobe Reader forum; you are more likely to get a useful response if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Form - Responses files

Good day,
I created a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 for an event at our company and people began to send them back. When I add them to my responses files they don’t show up on the list, but if I double click on them, they appear correctly in the form itself. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/FI_ColdBlood/responsefilebug.png)
Don't know what would do that?
Thanks for the support.

Sorry, there currently isn't a way to do that. You can only download a PDF showing all of the responses.

Adobe forms with file attachments

Hello,
I want to use file attachments in my offline adobe forms. I have found some articles about how to do that but it was all related to webdynpro which i'm not using for this scenario.
Does anyone know how to do that in plain ABAP?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Tijana

I'll answer on my own question
I found the answer in the test program FP_PDF_TEST_16.

Attaching photos to an Adobe Forms response

Good Morning:
Is it possible to attach a photo / photos along with responses to an Adobe Forms survey form? I would like to send a marketing survey to our physicians and have them attach a photo of themselves to the survey. Please advise, thanks.

Jim
What's abnormal about it? That's how you were always meant to do it.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
And, if you think it was not necessary then bear in mind that today on the v6 forum there are at least three people who have done this, and that's just this morning.

Convert Adobe form (PDF file) to Word file

Hi,
my need is in the title, i would like to convert a Adobe Form, in fact a pdf file to word file. What is the best way ? And of course is it possible ?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

Hello,
nothing like this cannot be done. You can generate interactive form if you need your user to fill in some more details. You can generate Word for example using OLE. There is a nice SDN contribution on generating MS Word using SAP Word OLE. Regards, Otto

Adobe Forms Response Table View

Can you format table so the data default view is at top of cell?

Thanks for the clarification.
If you apply the style change after selecting the entire column, as shown below, the style is applied to the column and is inherited by new rows.

Thanks in Adv
Vankadoath

Hi Vankadoath,
In your content conversion use the field document offset which ignores the number of lines to be ignored.
for example if you provide the value as "1" for document offset it will ignore the first line in your file.
(Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing.

Naveen.

UDF fields missing in Deployment Manager User Metadata export wizzard

Hi,
When I try to export UDF-s using Deployment Manager, not all UDF-s appear in the Deployment Manager wizard step1 Search list for User Metadata type.
It seems that UDF Lookup type-s are not included.
Also, some text type UDF-s are missing as well, while the rest of the text type UDF-s are in the list.
I wonder if someone has encountered the issue? Is there any solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have tried your suggestion, exported sandbox, than published the sandbox. The UDF-s are included in the UserEO.xml.xml file, but are still cannot be retrieved in Deployment Manager wizard step1 Search list.
Even if I enter the exact name of the attribute (USR_UDF_DEPT_NO) it is not found.
The problem is even more severe:
- the UDF missing from the export, which is a lookup type field, cannot be mapped in a GTC connector.
- this UDF field is NOT CREATED in the DATABASE.
Error message:
<Error> <oracle.iam.configservice.impl> <BEA-000000> <The attribute DEPT_NO does not exist!>
<Error> <oracle.iam.ui.formservice.model.modeler.FormService> <BEA-000000> <Updating User field DEPT_NO with params....failed>
OIM version: 11.1.2.1.0
Can someone confirm if this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Best regards.

How can I hide the option to "Open in Adobe Forms Central" in embedded responses.

Hello All,
I created a Web based form and the responses received through same are available in an web page (through embed code). Now I wish to limit the ability of those viewing same to export the data in XLS format. For this one thing I need to somehow enable is to remove the "Open in Adobe Forms Central" as the export to XLS option is only available there.
Looking forward to your responses.

...... if anything,
this could have appeared after I did the EFI frimware update.
So, is it standart to see the "choose network" option (below the bootable volumes)
in te start up manager (option-boot) ?
cheers,
pascal

Problem using RFC to call an adobe form to create pdf file........

Hi,
   I have an RFC that calls an adobe form to display the pdf output back in a bsp page...the RFC fails at the call to the adobe form (next call after after getting the form name) ...while debugging it looks like within this call it is trying to call fpcomp_job_open and failing on the call check_job_open ...
The code in my RFC looks like this....
DATA:
    gs_outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams,
    fn_name           TYPE rs38l_fnam,
    fp_docparams      TYPE sfpdocparams,

ENDIF.
form = fp_formoutput-pdf.
Thanks,
Venkatesh

what is the solution for this problem? I have the same problem. I get sy-subrc = 1 after CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_JOB_OPEN'.
If I look more in detail I see that "Perform check_job_open" is creating the problem:
FORM check_job_open.
IF fpstat-is_opened = c_true. (--> exactly here is the problem. This condition is true so the program is terminated.)
    PERFORM reset_status.
    MESSAGE ID 'FPRUNX' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '101' RAISING usage_error.
ENDIF.
fpstat-is_opened = c_true.
fpstat-is_started = c_false.
ENDFORM.
Does somebody know why my job is open and what is the solution to have the job closed at the beginning of my processing?
Thanks in advance.
