Adobe Pro V 8 collecting forms data into spreadsheet

according to the tutorial included in V8, once forms have been returned, I am to open the saved form blank and then:
Choose File > Form Data> Create Spreadsheet from Data Files
HOWEVER, this menu choice is not available to me, not even grayed out.
why isn't this menu available?
thanks

I suppose you created the form in Designer. In such a case, you may have to do the process in Designer, not Acrobat.

How to save the form data into adobe db?

Hi All,
How to save the form data into adobe db?
I have designed one xdp file.
Through processFormSubmission(), I got the submitted form data as Document obj.
Then I have called the workflow kickoff program.
code:
InvocationRequest request = myFactory.createInvocationRequest ("myprocessname", //Specify the long-lived process name
"invoke", //Specify the operation name
params, //Specify input values (HashMap obj)
false); //Create an asynchronous request
It successfulyy started the workflow, but the submitted form data is not saved anywhere.
And also, How get the form data from tables?
Please provide the solution for the above.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saravanan G

You need to create a process variable of type IN if you want to be able to pass data to your process. Then the params parameter (HashMap) contains a list of all the IN variables with their content that you want to pass to your process. They key is the name of the variable and the value the content. That way you should get it in your process.
Now LiveCycle will create a column in the database for every process variable, so the content will be saved in the database just by creating that process variable.

XML data into spreadsheet form?

I created the form and a customer filled it out and returned it to me using the submit button via email. Is there a way to take the xml data and populate an excel spreadsheet appropriately?
Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0/ Microsoft XP Pro/ 160 gig harddrive/ 512 RAM
Thank you for your help!

Hi Darren,
Are you looking to automate this?
You can bring up the form in Acrobat and go file->Form Data -> Create Spreadsheet from data files. You would then select all the files (xml) to put in the spreadsheet.
Does that help you?

Choose File Form Data Create Spreadsheet - where is this dialogue?

This is the dialogue I need to use my pdf to generate the spreadsheet so i can add returned forms. However, nowhere can I find;
Choose File>Form Data>Create Spreadsheet from Data Files
This is found in the quick start tutorials in the section entitled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" - section number 2
How the heck do I either a) Find it
b) Set up my Adobe software to show it
or c) Create the right file that "encourages" this option to be seen when I open Acrobat (Pro 9).
I am mightily confused and, having looked around the internet, am not alone in this.
Many thanks for any help you can offer folks.
Kevin Palmer

Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
Best wishes,

My vi is writing just the same data into spreadsheet even after changing the loop iteration time. hw can I change this mode ?

My VI is writing the same amount of data into spreadsheet file even after changing the for-loop iteration time

You should post the VI (with appropriate values saved as default) to this thread. (At least a JPEG or PNG screenshot).
Inside the For Loop, right-click on the N terminal and create Indicator. Run the VI and you will see how many times the Loop spins.
Further guessing: You may have a 2D array with two rows and many columns feeding the For Loop.

Extract FORM data into BINARY format or XSTRING format?

Hello,
Our config: I am developing an VISITOR Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"
I am using JavaScript
1st user opened the form, entered data, say entered USA in COUNTRY field.
2nd user opened the same form and edited the COUNTRY field from USA to UK.
Pls. let me know is there any way for me to capture the user entered data into a BINARY format or XSTRING or RAW FORMAT or RAW STRIGN
Pls. note i need latest changes, like COUNTRY field hold the value of UK.
Pls. note for some reason, SAVE the form should not come into picture in my case (form will be saved in some workflow (pls. note not adobe's workflow, we hv SAP workflow) staging area in the time lapse of between 1st user and 2nd user,)
Thank you

I am looking WHOLE FORMA DATA in either XSTRING or BINARY FORMAT or any other format, except STRING format.
I gave COUNTRY as an example, but am looking the HWOLE form AS IS
Any help pls.
Thank you

Collecting Form Data - what's the best way?

Hi,
I'm setting up a new website and will need to collect data from subscribers. I understand that you can use Acrobat to manage the whole process - from design to data collection. I've tried emailing forms to myself, but these come down as xml files and have to be converted into excel - very time consuming and fiddly, so not the best way of collecting the data. So, what's the quickest and best way, and why isn't this made clearer by the LiveCycle Designer programme? Cheers in advance!

Emailing is certainly not the right way to go. Think of the email
submission as a toy for testing with.
Like any other web site form, you should submit to a web script (ASP,
CGI, PHP, etc.). This can run a program which is sent the XML; parse
the XML; put it in a database.

Whenever I try to export my form data into a csv it is not formatted correctly

Whenever I try to export my data into a CSV and open it in notepad it does not place each row on a seperate line. Is there any way to insert a return at the end of the form or data so that each row is on a seperate line?

FormsCentral produces CVS files that use CR (Carriage Return) as the row delimiter. NotePad requires CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed). If you use a different text editor (WordPad, NotePad++) you will find each record on its own line (assuming you do not have word wrap enabled).

Store form data into a database and send via e-mail

Hello!
Perhaps my question is very obvious , but I don�t use to program, so I hope you can understand it.
I am creating a form in html (formulario.html) , the action for this form is to go to a jsp page (enviocorreo.jsp) that uses a javabean (SendMail.java) to send all the data entered in that form via e-mail to different people depending on the data chosen in some SELECT boxes.
But now, I want also to store all this information into a database. And here is my question.
Can I use another bean in enviocorreo.jsp to program the connection to the database and store the data into it?
Or should I use the same bean SendMail.java?
Or should I program all this code in enviocorreo.jsp?
Hope you can clarify , since I�m a bit confused about this.
Thank you very much,

I would recommend non of the above. Rather...
Have the action attribute form in formulario.html call a Servlet via POST. Have the servlet both store the data and email the recipients. Then afterwards, have the if both operations (store and email) are successful, forward to enviocorreo.jsp (removing the SendMail bean as you no longer need it), or if either step fails, forward to a error page.
All that code in a JSP is ugly. Besides, using a bean you'll have to pass some Context back and forth so the bean can do a lookup, etc. Yuch.

How do i read form data into subject lines of email?

I'm having a problem pulling form data and putting it in the subject line of my email.
"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Formform form+ F_Name.rawValue + L_Name.rawValue";
I thought this would read text fields from the form and print them in my subject line. Instead it tprints it without the data.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right directon on what i am doing wrong.
Button2.event__click.submit.target "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Formform form" + F_Name.rawValue + L_Name.rawValue;
Button2.execEvent("click");
Any help would be appreciated.
jj
Also if anyone would happen to know if there is a way to bypass the two email prompts and choose to directly send it using the users local email client would help or maybe its impossible.

Button2.event__click.submit.target ="mailto:xxxxx.com?subject=FORM Form Form for " + topmostSubform.firstName.value;
Can i use rawValue or value like this? Right after i put anything after those quotation marks that aren't more quotatin marks my button stops workin.

Merge Form Data to Spreadsheet Problem

I have always been able to export Livecycle form data to a spreadsheet using Acrobat. Now that my version has been updated from version 10.0.0 to 10.1.9, when i export the data, I get a column of gliberish instead of the form data. I tried another employees computer that has not been updated to 10.1.9 and is still at 10.0.0 and the same files exported correctly. The Acrobat update stopped this process from working and they do not leave any method for me to back up to the previous version. Has anyone lse experinced same problem? Is there a fix or workaround for this?

I cannot tell, because I don't have DAQ installed, but how big is the 2D array inside the inner loop? Do you ever start a new file or are you appending forever? Place an indicator in the 2D array to see what's written.
Some other things that caught my eye:
A value(sgnl) property makes no sense if you don't have event structures. Use a local variable.
It is confusing to place the clearing of the chart history on the right side. It is more convenient to place this on the left side of the main code. I either case, it will happen at the start of the program because there is no data dependency.
Instead of a combo box and scanning operation inside the inner loop (DAQ rate) use a ring, it will output the correct value directly if so configured.
All these properties in the inner loop only need to get written when the controls change, not with every iteration of the loop.
I am sure you are aware that you are not really writing any excel file, right?

Acrobat could not submit your data - trying to collect form data?

Hi,
I created a form in acrobat, i go through the process of distributing it, that is all successful but then i get this error:
"Acrobat coudl not submit your data. Please see Tracker for more information".
But there is no information in the tracker?
What can I do?
Thanks

Same here... not impressed by this product, frankly.
It's nice to be trying do fancy things like automatically sending mails and supplying a collection web site, but that's no good when they fail providing simpler, basic functionality.
