Converting forms central form to PDF

How do I convert my forms central registration form I created in the software itself to a PDF format. I have called tech support for forms central and they are never able to assist me or even understand me. Today I was told they are not trained in forms central. I paid $200 for this program and I would think it would come with tech support. Please assist as soon as possible. My association is hosting a workshop very soon and I need these forms. Thank you.

Good day,
I've moved your thread to the FormsCentral forum.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with our support team and I'll definitely look into the case logged with them to see what feedback I can provide.
If I understand you correctly, you've created a registration form in FormsCentral and you'd like to make a PDF version of this same form?
We currently do not support creating a PDF form. This has been a very common request (we are the Acrobat team so it isn't a surprising one ). PDF form creation is defintely on our roadmap this year.
If I've misinterpreted your question, please let me know.
Kind regards,
David

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.
Please verify whether this reolves the problem for you.

hi,

All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform
EXPORTING
output_options = p_output_options
control_parameters = p_control_parameters
IMPORTING
job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
tables
otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata
lines = t_pdf
and if u need more u can check below links also

How to convert Infopath forms into pdf or word ?

I have an urgent requirement. I need to covert approx 50k infopath forms into pdf/word.
Is there any way to convert it without using a third party software?
Is this possible via Powershell script ?

Not with Microsoft tools. This would be something supplied by a 3rd party, if available at all.

Export/Convert Browser Based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Excel/Word

Hi,
Is there an OOB, way of converting browser based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Word/Excel.
In case there isnt, can anyone please point me to a coded or a programmatic way of implementing the same.
Soptik Dutta

Hi Soptik,
As far as I know, we can only save an InfoPath form as PDF/Excel using InfoPath Windows form application(rather than Broswer-based InfoPath).
In this case, we can
Open the library that save the forms
Selec the form that is wanted to be PDF/Excel(Just select it, don't open it)
Click the "inverse trangle", and then click "Edit in Microsoft InfoPath"
In InfoPath, click "File" > "Save & Send" to save the form as PDF/Excel
In this following thread, there are some code snippets, which will help you to export an form to PDF using custom code:

Converting HTML Forms to PDF - Field Names

When I use Adobe 8 to convert and HTML form to PDF all the field names in the resulting PDF have the crazy long names that are jumble of letters and numbers. So I always have to go back through and manually rename every field because I'm using another program to autopopulate the fields with data. Is there any way to get Acrobat to automatically name the fields in the PDF the same as they are named in the form either using the "name" or "id" properties of the HTML fields? I don't understand why this isn't the default behaviour to begin with.

The reason this is done is due to a fundamental difference between HTML forms and Acrobat forms. In HTML forms, fields with the same name do not necessarily share the same value, whereas in Acrobat forms they do.
In the conversion process, Acrobat gives each field a unique name, but also sets a field's mapping name to the name the field had in the original HTML form. This is so that if the PDF form is used to submit as "HTML", then the original field names will be used and any server process that is capable of dealing with the HTML form is capable of dealing with the resulting PDF form. So be aware that if you want to use your modified form to submit to a web server using the "HTML" format, the new field names that you set will not be used. What will be used are the hidden mapping names.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do about any of this to make it work like you want.

Help downloading forms to PDF and it's not allowing me to upgrade to a Paid Account in order to do so since Form Central is ending.

I need to download my forms as PDF. It says i need to update to a paid account. We have a paid account but under a different user name so i was going to upgrade my account. It takes me to the page with the message about Form Central ending. We know this but are using Form Central until we find another product. I must download these forms before changing systems AND need to send them to the sponsors.

Hi gretaw and juliag,
Because Adobe FormsCentral is retiring, we are no longer offering paid subscriptions. But we have been able to make exceptions to those of you who need to download your PDF forms. Please watch for private message from me.

Convert Coldfusion Flash form to PDF?

Is it possible to convert a Coldfusion flash based form to a PDF form? I've tried it using Coldfusion 8 and Adobe Professional 8, but all I end up with is a blank PDF. It works just fine for a basic HTML based form. Is there some technical reason this doesn't work?... Because it seems rather stupid that ADOBE Coldfusion and ADOBE Acrobat don't work together properly.

It's an internal form, so i don't have any link. But the form is constructed using the standard flash form tags... example: <cfform name="form" action="exampleform.cfm" format="Flash"> <cfformitem> <cfformgroup> <cfinput> <cfselect> The entire form is mostly just a mix of those tags. Pretty standard stuff, but Adobe 8 Professional simply won't convert the form to PDF. Or, actually, it does but the form is blank. I'm usually just left with the graphic from the top of the page which likes outside the <cfform> tags.

How to convert an HTML form to PDF

Is there any way to convert HTML page (with text boxes,radio/submit buttons) into a PDF file so form can be entered in a PDF format??

HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
Code example:
import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
// suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");

Convert filled out InfoPath form to PDF

Hi all
I have this basic setup:
An InfoPath formular is deployed to Forms Server, and a user fills it out. When the user submits the form, I need to somehow convert the form to PDF and attach it to an email sent to the user.
Now, this should be done in .NET code. I am still not quite sure if I will do it as an event handler on the Forms Server og if I will let the document go through BizTalk and let it to the conversion... but in any case, what I have is an .XML file that is actually the filled out form and I need to convert it to PDF that matches how the form looks like, naturally.
I have seen this thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/9f43f377-dfd6-4c6e-a361-315bf30f3c91 about it, and I ahve tried doing what it says. But I can't get it working.
I have installed this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en and it seems to work - I can now save as PDF in Word, Excel and so on.
Then I created a Winforms program (it wont always be in a winforms program, but for testing purposes...) and I did this:
1. Add the InfoPath Form control to the toolbox (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl.dll)
2. Drag the Control which now appears in my tool box to my winform.
Then I added this code to some event of the form:
string file = "";
formControl.Open(file);
formControl.XmlForm.CurrentView.Export(".pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);
Now, the issue is, that the "Export" method and the "ExportFormat" enum are not recognized and therefore give compile errors.
The only difference between my using statements and the ones in the thread above is that I do not have this one:
using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl;
since that name space does not seem to exist - I only have the Microsoft.Office.InfoPath name space. Yes, the Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.FormControl.dll is referenced in my project.
Any thoughts?
My setup:
Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5 SP1
Office 2007, English
Windows XP

I got your sample project, it compiles without any errors nor warnings.
And then I made some changes to the code so it can actually work:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using InfoPath = Microsoft.Office.InfoPath;
namespace TestInfoPathFormControl
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
string template = Path.Combine(
Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath),
"Template1.xsn");
this.formControl1.NewFromFormTemplate(template);
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.formControl1.XmlForm.CurrentView.Export(@"D:\test.pdf", Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.ExportFormat.Pdf);
Then I hit F5, the app runs and I can get my test.pdf.
Don't know why it doesn't compile on your side.
I tried on:
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Office 2007 SP2 (Beta)
Windows 7 Beta
And
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Office 2007 SP1
Windows Vista SP1
The file version of Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.dll is 12.0.4518.1014, assembly version is 12.0.0.0.
Could you also check that assembly on your side?
Can you see the following memebers from your project's object browser?
They should live in Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.dll.

Is it possible to generate oracle forms in pdf format

I have to generate a form in pdf format. Is it possible.
If yes, how to achieve this.
Thank you very much.
Navya.

One round about way to get a pdf screen shot is tick 'print to file' and use a printer which is set up with a postcript driver. This gives a postscript file which can be converted to pdf using 'ghostscript and gsview' (available free from gnu via various sites).
