Convert Adobe Form to SMARTFORM

Hi,
is it possible to convert a form created with adobe form builder to a SMARTFORM document?
I need to upload a PDF or DOC document into a SMARTFORM. This seems not to be possible. So I used Adobe for this upload. But now I can't convert it to a SMARTFORM document...
Can this problem solved?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks and regards
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
as far as I know, SAP does not deliver any tools to support conversion between smartforms and pdfs ... I did it manually, which is a pain in the neck ...

  • Convert Adobe form to smart form

    Hi,
    I have created adobe form. Is it possible to convert that now as smart form? I have seen the migration options for smartforms to adobe form. But please confirm if the reverse is possible and how?
    Regards,
    Bhuvana

    Howdy,
    They are basically asking you to rewrite the form from scratch - better off waiting until the basis issue is resolved.
    It's possible that the issue would still exist when you view the PDF spool of your Smartform too.
    Cheers

  • 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

  • Convert Adobe Form into Word Format

    Hi Friends,
    My question is very straight forward -:
    Is there any way / any Function Module to convert the adobe form into word format ? Is this possible ?
    Regards,
    Debi

    Hello, could you please elaborate a little more? Have you tried this? What was the result?
    I mean: Adobe forms are often very complex, I would like to know how does the result look like. I have no DMS/ DMS experience to try it myself so I thought you could describe some more details about this suggestion.

  • Convert Adobe Form (with data) to Microsoft Word Document

    Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
    I am attempting to convert an Adobe PDF Form (with data included) to a Microsoft Word document.
    When I use the menu to attempt this, I get a Word document containing only the form fields.
    I want to be able to grab all the text from the document, as these forms were used to fill in information for Job Descriptions, and I want to submit the text to job boards (without having to retype anything).
    What are my options for obtaining this information?

    Bill:
    Thank you for all of your help. I do not have the program in front of me, so I don't have a means of independently verifying this, until I go see the user tomorrow when he returns to the office ...
    Just to confirm, a fillable PDF is different from a standard PDF, as it stores the form fields in a special way, likewise, the data is stored in a special way. This is actually a quite useful feature, for compiling data, if you use the form multiple times.
    A standard export of a fillable PDF exports only the fields.
    To get the data, I would have to choose to save form data.
    To get the fields and the data, I have to print it using a PDF printer to create a new PDF document. Once I create this new PDF document, I can then export to Word as desired.
    If I want ONLY form fields: (one-step process)
    Export > Microsoft Word > %filename%.DOC
    If I want ONLY form data:(one-step process)
    File > Save FORM DATA > FDF file format > %filename%.FDF
    If I want both the form and the data: (two-step process)
    File > Print to PDF > Save as %filename%.PDF
    Open %filename%.PDF > Export > Word Document
    Is this the process? Pardon my confusion, but I am a newbie, and I do not have the program to test with.
    Thanks for your help, kind sir.

  • Adobe forms to OTF

    hi all,
    is there any way to convert adobe forms output to OTF.
    "pl make note that its not OTF to PDF."

    Hi,
    This was not possible , so the thread was closed. This requirement was typically for combining the OTF's of scripts, smartforms and Adobe forms and displaying altogether in the portal  As this was not possible for Adobe forms ,this method was cancelled and the individual xstring output was used.
    I am not sure whether there is any method to accomplish your task.

  • Getting Error while generate Adobe form

    Hi,
    I  am new to adobe smartforms, i am getting one error while activate smartform. we need to set anything in SICF setting for Adobe smartform??. i am get error like "this forms refers to external file which is not found in compters.please create connection to folder so thatt these should be found.

    Hi
    Are you talking about adobe forms or smartforms. These are 2 different types of forms. For Adobe forms you need an ADS which sits on the java stack and needs to be configured properly. Some services need to be activated in SICF for the configuration as well. A conplete guide on how to configure the ADS is found on the following link

    In addition, sample forms are helpful.
    You can find some forms in your SAP system.
    Execute transaction SFP, and use F4 help.
    If you install LiveCycle Designer, sample forms by Adobe are also installed.

  • Convert Adobe To EXCEL

    Is there an easy way to convert ADOBE forms to EXCEL?   I've done an internet search and can find several companies that sell software to do this or you can buy one of Adobe's products, but was curious if anybody else had this requirement and how they solved it.

    Hi -
    Can you clarify me on one thing? Do you mean converting records obtained from Adobe forms in the form of XML to EXCEL?
