Can I prefill forms from an excel worksheet

I am looking for an alternative to typing or copy and pasting names onto forms that I distribute to clients. I am wondering if there is a way I can link an excel worksheet or export data from a document to prefill on each form. Something similar to a mail merge of some type.
Thank you!

Probably the easiest way to do this is to import the data in Acrobat from a tab-delimited file that you export from Excel. The first row must contain the exact field names and subsequent rows contain one or more records. When you import, you will be able to select a row of data and it will then be used to populate the form. So the workflow is:
1. Begin by setting up a worksheet to include the field names of the PDF form as the first row.
2. Populate the worksheet with one or more records.
3. Save worksheet as a tab-deliimited text file.
4. Open the form in Acrobat
5. Import a row of data form the text file. E.g., Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Import Data > [select text file] > [select row]

Can I export values from an excel spreadsheet into a dropdown field in Acrobat?

I'm creating a form in Acrobat with a dropdown field as an option, I would like to know if I could export the values from an Excel spreadsheet into this field (there are 600 records)?

Sorry this is not something that we currently support. You have to enter your items manually. Once you created you field though you can copy in paste to other forms so you only have to create it once.

Xcelsius suddenly only allows chart to call data from first excel worksheet

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius 2008 Engage with SP1 FP3 installed.
I have never had this problem before, but in the last week, Xcelsius won't allow a chart to call data from any worksheet in the excel file other than the first worksheet. If I reorder the worksheets in the excel file, i can access a different worksheet, but only the one that is saved as the first worksheet (left most tab).
In dashboards i have already created, i can't change the data range of a chart that's already calling data from a worksheet unless i select the first worksheet.
Could this be an automatic update from microsoft? Has anyone else experienced this and worked out how to overcome it? It is frustrating to keep moving the worksheet to the front and reimporting the data everytime i want to make a change that isn't in the first excel worksheet.
Thanks,
Scott.

As far as I remember it's not possible. Thus, find attached VI and use it to convert line/column to excel cell format. It's working if you are not using more than 26 columns (i.e. column AA, AB, ... if this is the case you have to improve it a little)
Hope this helps

How can I prevent forms from being prematurely submitted when users click on the "Enter" key?

Is there any way that I can prevent Dreamweaver CF submission forms from being prematurely submitted by the user when he/she clicks on the "Enter" key before they have completed the form? I need the users to finish form and click on the "Submit" key. I have the "Submit" key action configured as "submit form"

Thank you!
Found a solution through Google.

How do I rename a lot of files from an excel worksheet?

Hello all!
I have 2k+ files in a folder named sequentially from 0001.wav to 24xx.wav.
I have their contents referenced in an .xls.
This is a library made for Windows when it didn't accept very long names, so you couldn't just name the file accordingly.
So what I want to do is to rename these files taking the name from my excel sheet and pasting it on the file. To do that one by one is really too much.... Can anyone think of an automated (or semi-automated) way of doing this?
Thanks!!!

Hi again,
So I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind:
Of course not!
To hopefully make things more understandable, here's the script again with some line numbers I can refer to:
1 for details in `cat myspreadsheetdetails.csv`
2 do
3 OLD_NAME=`echo $details | cut -f1 -d,`
4 NEW_NAME=`echo $details | cut -f2 -d,`
5
6 echo "Renaming $OLD_NAME to $NEW_NAME"
7 mv $OLD_NAME $NEW_NAME
8 done
Firstly, some assumptions I've made.
1. The excel spreadsheet has 2 columns. Column A is the current name of the wav file, column B is the new name you want the wav file to have.
2. Both name in columns A and B have the .wav extension specified
3. None of the names have a space character in them. Eg. 'A cool song.wav'
4. The script is being run from the folder containing the files to be renamed.
Now, back to your questions:
1)where in the script am I telling in wich directory the files are?
The first thing we'd need to do in the Terminal, is change the working directory to where the wav files are located. The simplest way to do this is type 'cd ' (i.e. the cd followed by the space character) and then drag and drop the folder containing the wav files onto the Terminal window. That will populate the path and you can then press return to change to that directory.
Line #1 specifies the file name that details the old and new names. Let's assume you save the excel spreadsheet as a csv file and create the file on your Desktop as being called songs.csv. In this case, line #1 would become:
for details in `cat ~/Desktop/songs.csv`
(The ~ is a shortcut that means your home folder.)
2)will this script rename all the files automatically? I mean, when it finds 001.wav it will rename it to mynewtitle.wav and when it finds 004.wav it will rename it to mynewtitle4.wav? even if they are not sequential? even if not all the the files in the CSV are present in the directory, or viceversa?
The script currently does not do anything more complex than follow what is present in the spreadsheet. So for example, if you have the following data:
<pre style="font-family:'Courier New';">
Column A | Column B
0001.wav | MyNewTitle.wav
0002.wav | SomeOtherTitle.wav
2304.wav | Test123.wav
0003.wav | GreatSong.wav
</pre>
it will rename, 0001.wav to MyNewTitle.wav, 0002.wav to SomeOtherTitle.wav, 2034.wav to Test123.wav and so on. The names themselves are irrelevant.
If that's not what you want, can you give me a few examples?
3)what do you mean by testing? how can I test the script without actually renaming the files?
The only command that actually 'does' anything is line #7. When copying the commands in the Terminal if you skip that one line, then when you run it, the echo statement on line #6 will just print to the screen what it would do, without actually doing anything.
If you can post a sample of the spreadsheet that should help me confirm I'm not going to trash your files
If none of that made sense, just yell and I'll try to rephrase.

Can UTL_FILE utility read from ac Excel spreadsheet

I can manually save an excel spreadsheet as a text file in a fixed length format and read from the text file using the UTL_FILE utility. But is there way I can save the excel spreadsheet as a text file in a fixed length format, programatically. (A batch file which can be run at the DOS prompt). If not, is there any way Oracle can read directly from an Excel spreadsheet.
Thank you

UTL_FILE handles ASCII files, but Excel files are binary files, so this won't work. If you did get direct access to the binary file, you'd need to embed logic to differentiate data and formatting/ headers/ control codes, which would be quite painful.
Assuming the spreadsheets are formatted the same each time, you could use Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity and set up an ODBC data source that pointed to the Excel spreadsheet. You could then query the spreadsheet in SQL over a database link.

How do I populate the choices in a Combo Box in a PDF Form from an Excel spreadsheet or text file?

Pleasel let me know if there is a way to copy and paste choices for a Combo Box from an Excel spreadsheet or text file. I have over 250 values I'd like to add and don't trust my typing!
Thanks for the help!
Ken K. - 2191

Yes, using the field.getItemAt method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.745.html
E.g.:
var aItems = [];
var f = getField("combo1");
for (var i = 0; i < f.numItems; i++) {
aItems[i] = f.getItemAt(i);
If there are export values you need to decide how to use the optional bExportValue parameter.

Can we generate forms from different locations on same account?

We're thinking of subscribing for the unlimited forms plan. Would this plan allow us to generate forms (and receive reports) from various locations on the same account? Or would each location need its own account?
Thanks, Meg

Hi Meg;
Depending on the roles each user needs to play, you could have one "Plus" membership that can have all of the "live" forms in it, that user could share forms and/or responses with the other users so they could collaborate in the editing and view responses and reports. The permissions in the form (ability to use paid features) are based on the form author, so the "Free" level users could use the paid features in these forms that were shared by the one Plus membership.
Here is some information on sharing forms: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462
Also some good gneral Quick Start guides and How To's: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/library/how-to-make-create-survey-or-form.html
In addition, if any of the free users were to create a form for the team they could export that form as a design file for the Plus member to import and then share. Since the free user can only create one form, but have unlimited shared with them, and since the form rights are from the author the Free user wouldn't want to share the form, but instead export it so that when the Plus user imports it they are the author and when it is shared the form would have the Plus level features (I hope that made sense).
As far as organization there are no folders in FormsCentral at this time.
Thanks,
Josh

Can you import metadata from an excel database to images (JPG, PSD, TIF) in bulk?

I am very new to working with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with the IPTC Core fields I need for each image file.
(Creator, Headline, Description, Keywords, Title, Job Identifier, Credit Line, Source, Rights Usage Terms, Copyright Status and Copyright Notice)
Is there a way to get the metadata into the files without having to copy from a cell into each metadata field individually?
I am hoping some for sort of script, possibly...
Also, if only ONE of these fields needed updating in all of the files (i.e. Rights Usage Terms) can that be done?
I have Bridge 5.1 (and earlier versions CS3/CS4)

Yes Paul, exactly like that. Thanks for this - at least I know it's possible...
I am not such a script writing guru that I know how alter it to include all of the fields I mentioned in my original post tho'.
Missing fields I would require:
Creator (bridge no longer calls this Author - as listed in the script - I guess that's an easy switch)
Job Identifier (text field)
Credit Line (text field)
Source (text field)
Rights Usage Terms (text field)
Copyright Status (this is a pull-down in Bridge CS5 that you select "Copyright" Public Domain" or "Unassigned)
Copyright Notice (text field)
Is there a script that covers the "IPTC core" fields in their entirety - or maybe an easy way to alter the script to include the missing fields I need?

Can't Create Form From Existing PDF

I received a PDF from a woman, it is a form that I can print out and snail mail. I decided to convert it to a PDF fillable form as it would be faster and cleaner to fill out...I can't. I am getting the following error and it's not just her PDF, I get this on any file I convert to PDF and tell to create a fillable form of. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to CC and installed the latest Acrobat version.
Error:
"Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts. <bad Type0 font> [1]
Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed. Because of this failure, you are advised to not save these changes."
I don't know what font she used nor the program, I don't have control of that short of asking her to change the font so Acrobat will play with it. One could assume she used the exact same file she made the previous year and just updated the year and date on it which, using my previous version of Acrobat would work fine at creating a fillable form.
Enquiring minds want to know.
Thanks

Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

Hi,
I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
I doublechecked my configuration.
In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">



<web-site port="8890" protocol="http"
display-name="Oracle Developer Suite 10g instance of Oracle Containers for J2EE Web Site">

     
     
     <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />

<web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />


<web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
<web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
     
     <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.

Creating mailing labels from an excel worksheet

I have been following the directions using data merge manager. but I only get the first row name in every label on the page. My excel document is a list of names in 1 column. I want to create 1 label for every name. What am I doing wrong?

Well, I cannot be positive about the Mac 2011 version, but I teach Microsoft Office at a community college. If you are using the wizard, you should start from a blank document, select the mail merge wizard. You then tell it the starting document, set up as labels. From there, you would select the Recipients, and from there, you navigate to the file you are going to use, and in this case, an Excel spreadsheet. Here is where it gets a little dodgy. When you select Existing list, can you choose your Excel file? After selecting the Excel sheet, is it prompting about the header row, or is this where you are seeing it ask about the conversion? I know it may look a little different than the Windows document, but it should work rather similar. Hoping I can help you.

$ ls -l /u01/app/appl/au/11.5.0/forms/US/BGQTRAIN.fmb
$cp /u01/app/appl/au/11.5.0/forms/US/BGQTRAIN.fmb /u01/app/appl/au/11.5.0/forms/US/BGQTRAIN.fmb_070415

Create PDF button gone from Excel worksheet

Recently had to restore computer back to factory. I installed full CS4 WebSuite which includes Acrobat. I used to have a PDF button in Excel that would let me create a PDF from an Excel worksheet. How do I get that back? I used to use Office 2003 and now I use Office 2013.
Thanks so much in advance!

The store is at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide-upgrade-pricing.html. If you click the upgrade option, you will see the option to upgrade to AA XI from the AA X Suite (whatever that is, I assume CS) or from individual products. In your case it is not an individual product, but a suite. If you have questions or want to see if you can get a deal, you will have to call the Adobe sales folks. We can only repeat what we see and have heard from others (except for those folks who have the suite).
You can still print to the Adobe PDF printer from Excel 2013, if you can get AA9 to work on Win8 (an outside chance, but may require some workarounds). You would just not get links or bookmarks. You might see if there is a MS plugin for creating PDFs from Excel. If there is, you might be able to create the PDFs that way and edit in Acrobat 9.
