Adobe X pro, export forms data to fdf, then import into new form using automation?

Is there a faster way to export 13 page forms pdf data out to fdf and then import I back into a new pdf form. There are a total of 167 pdf files with total of 130 some field on each form. The fields are all the same in each document. I want to make a macro or script to automate this process. I don’t want to to open all 167 files then export them one at a time. then creat167 new files and import all that data back in. Also each file is the name of the person who filled it out. I could automate the copying of the new 2012 pdf to make 167 new ones each with their name using VBA. But if that could be automated in adobe great.
We have to make new admission forms for next year. Currently all the dates and fees are this year. So I had to update all the pages in Publisher and reprint them to pdf. We are sending the forms back to people with the data already entered since 95% of it did not change. This helps save them time in having to re-fill out the entire form again.
Or any other suggestions
TIA

try67, I do have Pro as stated in the title “Adobe X pro, …”
George,
the position of the forms fields is exactly the same. But now that I think of it the data in the pdf’s is slightly older than the exported info in Access as I explain further below.
George, I can create 167 files in an instant using VBA, I in fact have all the names in Access and did this already.
I also forgot, I have all the data from all the forms in Access now. So it would be better to use that since it is more up to date than the pdf forms. Any email and phone number changes were changed in Access. I clicked Manage Form data/ export to txt in Adobe and imported that into Access with a VBA and a macro.
So I really just need to open each particular file and import the data into it.
So can I call the whole process from VBA? Using a Active-X reference in VBA to get to control Adobe?
I write VBA in my sleep so if it can be done there, Fantastic.

XML Multiple Data Export/Import into New Form

Is it possible to import an XML file with multiple form data (exported via "Merge data files into spreadsheet" option, then saved as XML) into a "template" form and create individual forms from the multiple data sheet? In other words, I've merged 65 forms' data into an XML file. Now I'd like to import it all back into an updated form.
What I've been doing now is exporting the XML data individually for each form and importing each form individually into the new form.
One option is to extend rights to the user to import nd export themselves, but I'm still looking into the Formrouter service, which, if implemented, won't be for a while.
Any solutions to this painful process?
Thanks - Derek
I just realized this may be a question for a different forum...Acrobat... My apologies.

Hi Derek,
Without the LC Enterprise server product(s) I don't think you will be able to achieve this. Acrobat.com give a mechanism of distributing the form, I am fairly sure it will allow you to view the responses in a new form.
Also applying reader extensions to the form with Acrobat will not help, as this removes the ability of importing/exporting XML. See https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg. If you are extending rights with LC Reader Extensions ES then this restriction should not apply.
If you have the 65 XML responses, I would be inclined to bite the bullet and manually import the XML into the new form.
Good luck,
Niall

This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?

This alert pops regularly every 10-15 minutes:

I did some serious research / checked for viruses / removed and reinstalled Thunderbird and Firefox. Please read this carefully.
1. With Firefox closed (default browser), I can open T-bird without any issues and use it just fine.
but,
2. the minute that I open Firefox, T-bird give me a popup message of: This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location? This is not under the Firefox Browser. It is under the T-bird Tab of my computer.
It does not matter what kind of email you have open, whether it be text or HTML. It pops up.
If I have T-bird open (default email client) and use Chrome or IE with Firefox closed it doesn't happen.
Computer is Windows 7 Pro x64-Bit.

This started after the latest Thunderbird update was applied. Like you I have done the same check outs. I found that Thunderbird starts then, without any direct request, FireFox starts as well. Then the messages start popping up. Have already checked and confirmed that the old FireFox posting fixes did not impact the behavior. Looking for an answer.
Same configuration Windows 7 ThinkPad T430.

I keep getting this pop up. This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location? Can you please help me figure out how to get this to stop!

This pop up has been occurring about once a minute when I am on certain sites.

How do I stop the box "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?

I have cleared my cookies and cache and disabled some add ons, but when in Facebook and specifically for Farmville, I keep getting the pop up box, "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" I have closed and opened the browser, too and it still keeps coming up.... Please help!!! Thanks.

You can't avoid that if the website is coded that way and data needs to be send from one server to another server.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

If you mean a PDF document and want to separate it into several parts, there is no way of doing it with just the free Reader, buy it can be done with Acrobat. If you are talking of another type of document, please post full details.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Adobe X Pro exported to Excel

I am using Adobe X Pro to manage forms build in LiveCycle. I have distributed a form and manually complied the replies. I am able to track all of the responses in Adobe X Pro and see every field in a spread sheet format but when I try to export it to excel, only the first 3 columns show up. Any ideas?

To get to this event in Acrobat 10, select:
Tools > JavaScript > Set Document Actions > Document Will Save
Note that JavaScript can be disabled by a user and some PDF viewers (e.g., Adobe Reader for iOS/Android) won't support this, so there is no way to guarantee that the for will get reset when saved.

PSD files created using export data set fail to import into lightroom

If I create a set of files using variables in a data set, the PSD files won't import into LightRoom. LR says to resave with maximum compatibility, but I already have that set in Photoshop. If I open one of the files and resave it, it will import. Perhaps PS isn't honoring the maximize compatibility setting when exporting.

Dulicating Records and submit into new form

Hi All,
I am trying to build a feature where a member has submitted an event to my system and wants to duplicate the content but not the dates?
Does anyone have any ideas how this can be done?
The details of the event are stored in 2 tables 1 holding the venue, dates, and times, and the other the description and pricing.
Cheers,
Joe

Hello,
I don't know exactly your Oracle release, but since Oracle 10.1 you can use either the Original export/import utility (exp/imp) or the DATAPUMP (expdp/impdp) which is recommended.
As previously posted, export/import is not launched from SQL prompt but straightly from a DOS session (for Windows) or a Unix session (on Unix/Linux).
These links will give you example about partition-level export and import, using the Original export/import utility:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/original_export.htm#SUTIL2750
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/original_import.htm#SUTIL1758
You have the same feature in DATAPUMP with the TABLES parameter:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/dp_export.htm#i1006816
Hope this help.
