Can't export a PDF with XFA form

Cannot convert/export a PDF document containing an SFA form - can this program not do this?

Hi Morin27,
XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

  • PDF with XFA forms to excel or word?

    I am trying to convert pdfs with XFA forms in them to an excell document but get an error message stating that documents with XFA forms cannot be converted into this format. Any way around this? Any way to remove XFA forms? Im pretty lost.

    If you removed the XFA forms there would be nothing left. XFA forms are a complete replacement for normal PDF - a different kind of form, pretending to be a PDF. There's very little you can do with them, except fill them in, or export form data. Maybe print-to-PDF?
    Beware if these are official/government forms. Converting them will usually leave them invalid and your application unacceptable.

  • Why can't I export a PDF containing XFA forms to a word doc?

    I have an application that I'm trying to export to a word doc, so I can save the modifications that I make. I get an error message that states that "PDF's containing XFA forms cannot be saved to this format" Can someone tell me what this means?

    I just have the reader, but I do have the capability to export and convert PDF's to either word or excel. I just checked the posting and it has to be mailed. I was just trying to save my work, but being that I have to literally mail it USPS, I will  have to print it off anyway. Thanks for your help. I guess if I had read the posting a little closer, I could of saved us some typing.

  • How can I Export a PDF with Hebrew Font

    I am having trouble exporting a PDF file with a Hebrew font into word document.

    Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you! I must have missed your original post.
    Unfortunately our ExportPDF service doesn't support Hebrew text.  You can vote for this feature in here: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1554  We use the Ideas section to help prioritize features.

  • Unable to convert pdf's with XFA forms

    Why can I not convert a PDF file with XFA forms to Word?

    XFA is its own little world, and very few tools will touch it. In any case, ExportPDF isn't for converting filled in forms, I think.

  • How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

    After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
    I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
    How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

    Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
    This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
    The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
    But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
    If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

  • Cannot export to PDF with grayscale PDF in layout

    IDCS5.5, MacPro, OSX 10.7.4
    I am working on a grayscale teacher’s guide that accompanies a CMYK schoolbook. The introduction pages contain miniature pages of the workbook (formatted as grayscale PDF), but InDesign refuses to output those pages as PDF ("Impossible d’exporter le fichier PDF"), or when it does produce a PDF (when exporting page by page), Acrobat warns of a possible problem and stuff is missing on the resulting page, not necessarily from the grayscale minipages.
    I have tried grayscale PDFs created from the original CMYK PDFs in Acrobat Pro X, grayscale PDFs exported from the original CMYK file in InDesign CS6, PDFs reduced to 20% in InDesign, PDFs reduced to 20% with a third-party application and imported in ID at 100%, and all sort of variations on the export values. The problem is also present in InDesign CS4 (after exporting the file as IDML) and in CS6.
    The thing is, there is no problem at all if I use the CMYK PDF version of the minipages (I then turned the resulting PDF into grayscale with Acrobat Pro X). But the printer expects to see only grayscale images in a grayscale job, not color... and a Photoshop version of those minipages is not acceptable.
    Has anybody encountered that problem? Can you reproduce it, i.e. can you export to PDF if you use any type of grayscale PDFs in your layout?

    FOUND IT! Inspired by Rob solution, I was able to export my InDesign CS5.5 document containing some grayscale PDFs to PDF/X-3:2002 (and PDF/X-1a:2001), with or without the standard, but without converting to destination. For some reason, it does not work with PDF/X-4:2008, nor with any of the other presets.

    Hi ceop,
    It seems earlier you were able to use it.
    It is not clear why you are facing this issue now.
    You can try it with another pdf file,It might be possible that there is some issue with your pdf file.

  • Exporting to pdf with new numbers app

    recently i upgraded from numbers 09 to numbers 3.0. i have a worksheet with 2 pages. with numbers 09 when i export to pdf it export as pdf with 2 pages works fine. but in numbers 3.0 when i wxport the same worksheet it combines both pages in one pdf page so i can't print it on 2 pages. any solution ?

    Vikas
    The solution is to Print to PDF rather than Export to PDF.
    You will see that there are two pages in the Print dialog preview, and when you choose PDF, Open in Preview, you will see that the PDF version of the file has two pages.

  • PDF with XFA elements

    how do i convert a pdf with XFA elements to word?

    Something to try.
    Open with LCD.
    Save as "static" PDF.
    Close out of LCD.
    Launch Acrobat XI Pro - Open PDF - Save As Other to MS Word.
    Or, having subscribed to Adobe's online service (PDF Pack or ExportPDF) sign in to your subscription and send the PDF through the pipe.
    Or, print to paper. Scan then use Acrobat or the appropriate online service (perhaps PDF Pack) to get an OCR'd PDF.
    Then export to a Word file via Acrobat or the online service.
    Be well...

  • How can I export a file with transparent background?

    Hi all,
    I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
    I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

    If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.

  • Where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

    where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

    I don't think it's available yet.  The English help page has a link to it:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
    But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:
    Help bij Lightroom | Help bij Lightroom
    Same for DE, FR, ES.  Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

    Hi wishborne,
    I'm here to help! Are you unable to log in to ExportPDF, or unable to convert files once you're logged in? I tried to check your order history, but don't see any orders under the email address that you use here. Did you perhaps sign up using a different email address, or sign up via Adobe Reader?
    I look forward to hearing back from you. We will get to the bottom of this.
