Creating interactive PDF, WORD or EXCEL

Hi experts
I have to attach an editable file (interactive PDF, word or excel) to an email.
Is there a way to print a smartform into an interactive PDF, word or excel?
Or creating a word/excel file on another way, without printing-form.
If there is a possibility wo create one of this 3 files, which functionmodules or class can i use.
Thx in advance
Christian

Adobe forms ARE THE SOLUTION. If you have already paid for the licence or that is not your problem and you can use this technology, USE IT! That works in many scenarios:
1) WD scenario/ online - is only one of the many
2) standalone (works even without sap)
3) Offline interactive form <<<----- this is what you want.
I am the Adobe forms senior and can guide you through. Note there is Adobe form forum under NetWeaver - Adobe forms.
Please check this link, what should be the thing you need to:

  • Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

    I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
    If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

  • Create Interactive PDF Form

    Hello,
    How can i create interactive PDF Form i.e. AcroForm Programmatically using Acrobat SDK

    Sandyrock -
    I wonder jow you might mean this -
    If by interactive you mean - being able to programmatically update certain fields on a form the SDK is really good for that - also
    there is another way to fill out an entire from from an external data source:
    using an XFA form and creating an XML data file programmatically that maps to the form fields - This way you update an entire field at once based on the data that is in an XML data file.
    It depends on what it is that you are attempting whether one of the approaches is better suited to your needs.

  • I'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

    i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

    Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

  • How do you create a PDF document from excel???

    How do you create a PDF document from excel???

    Hi Kwasi Debra,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials.
    Then, select 'Create PDF' tab and click on 'Select PDF files to export' option.
    Upload your excel file and it will get converted to PDF format within a couple of minutes.
    Later, you can even download the converted file onto your system.
    Please try in the same manner and check.

  • Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

    When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
    To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

    Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

  • Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

    I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
    The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
    However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
    We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
    We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
    So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!

  • .pdf, Word, and Excel email attachments are not recognized

    I have something very weird happen. For the past 2 weeks or so, when I recieve a pdf file as an email attachment, and I try to open it I get a message that the file is corrupt. If I go to my husband's PC, I can open the file, which means it is not corrupt. I have tried with Preview (and Acrobat Adobe Pro 9.2.0) to double-click the file, no result. I have also saved on the desktop, and double-clicked; lastly, I tried to open from within both Preview and Acrobat. Nothing makes the files open. I had some of the files resent, as I wanted to make sure, nothing works.
    Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Also, files I have saved on the HD a while back open without any problems whatsoever.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    If they're really PDF files have whoever's sending them zip them first. BTW, what's with the Word and Excel files in the title? You didn't say anything about those.

  • Why does my InDesign CS6-created interactive pdf w/ email submit button no longer submit from Reader

    Last spring I created a 6 page interactive pdf form to email my clients. At the end of the form, I designed Print and Submit buttons. I tested it in Reader and both buttons worked. However, now after revising some of the fields in the same form, the Submit button isn't working in Reader. A message pops up stating that only a data file will be sent, rather than the form. After clicking OK on that (although I do want entire form to be returned via Submit), an error pop-up states "This operation is not permitted."
    What do I need to do to correct this problem so that clients can receive this form via email attachment, open in Reader and then return completed form via email submission? Do I need to open the pdf in Acrobat after converting from InDesign, and edit some feature there? Again, it is essential that my clients can open it in Reader. I have Googled this question but so far not found help.
    Thanks for your assistance!

    HI oliviat38527079
    Seems that the hyperlink you created on the button to move to the next PDF is not working once it gets moved to a different computer via email, this happens when there is a change in the file path.  It works fine when its on our Mac Computer as the path is fixed because the PDF was created on the same computer, however the path gets changed once it is mailed to a different computer.
    I would recommend you check the path of the hyperlinks & make sure they are fixed.
    Suppose the path set in the hyperlink is C:\Users\NewFolder\PDF\file1.pdf , then the path of the file on the computer to which you have mailed it should be arrange in same manner so that the hyperlink works.
    If its possible for you to share the PDF file then please do, so we can have a closer look & try to resolve your issue.
    In case you any doubts please reply.

  • How to create interactive pdf for Ipad using InDesign CS6

    Hi I created a Magazine layout using InDesign CS6 and wanted it to be viewed on native Ipad reader (but not as apps).  I put interactivity features like page navigations and hyperlinks and converted it to interactive pdf. The problem was the links and buttons are not showing on Ipad.
    I tried using Acrobat Pro to create the hyperlinks and this time the navigations and hyperlinks are showing. But is there a way not to create the hyperlinks manually one by one (specially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents this process will be very tedious.
    Is there a solution to create the interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating the links in Acrobat?

    Hi Guys
    This is Sean Smith.  Marilou who wrote the original post works for me.  Bob if you could point us in the direction of details you need I’ll ensure we provide the additional information as soon as possible.
    M tells me she pretty much doing exactly what Steve's article suggests.
    The concern is what a remarkably cumbersome process this appears to be.
    Even though I believe her explanation entirely I find the problem to be highly disconcerting as it’s wasting an immense amount of valuable time and inhibiting the production process significantly.
    She is producing wonderful results but via an immensely painstaking process fraught with potential for error.  Each page link has to be manually linked to the next by number.  It’s entirely possible to make a mistake and link to the incorrect page thus missing pages.
    If she inserts a new page – guess what? All the pages links have to changed manually and double checked yet again.
    If she makes a ‘Contents’ section as we do and exports the InDesign file as an interactive PDF all the contents items and links are missing and are therefore blank.
    She then has to export the document as a plain PDF and do the job again in Acrobat.
    For an extravagantly wealthy company with such extraordinarily expensive software I find this to be entirely incredulous.
    Who is the Product Manager for InDesign?
    Are they aware of this issue?
    What are they doing about it and when will it be done?
    Just curious are you guys paid employees or volunteers as this appears to be an official forum and we are new here?
    Digital publishing of PDF magazines appears to be an explosive growth market especially for platforms such as the iPad but this primary product for the task appears to be inadequate or ill-conceived.
    Is DPS a possible solution or is this more for Apps than PDF production?
    Regards
    Sean

  • Rollover effects when creating interactive pdfs in CS4

    How does one create a color change, or highlight effect for a rollover for lines of type, when creating an interactive pdf in Indesign, CS4?
    I've tried EVERY which way, and it seems there is no way to change the color, or appearance of the color of lines of text…
    Any ideas?

    Stix is correct. Here's a more detailed description of what to do:
    Select your type frame. Open the Buttons panel (Window > Interactive > Buttons). Click the Normal appearance. That will create a button from your text frame.
    To add the rollover appearance, click on Rollover. Add whatever effect you'd like (drop shadow, bevel, or whatever). When you export from InDesign, be sure to check the options for Hyperlinks and Interactive Elements on the General panel of the Export PDF dialog.

  • Creating Interactive PDFs from InDesign

    I have been researching using PDF to display database drive data merged into a PDF online.  I have investigated http://www.asppdf.com/ and http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.pdf.kit-for-.net/default.aspx that provide solutions for using PDF to create dynamically merged data into a PDF.  Is it possible to use InDesign to create a PDF that would allow the ability to replace say a empty checkbox with a checked checkbox based on a database sotred value for that exact checkbox?
    Thanks!

    The problem has been solved and here was my solution:
    TO PLACE AN IMAGE
    The process to add an image is to give instructions to the end user to copy and paste the image to their clipboard using a word processor or other image software and then select Tools/Comment & Markup/Stamps/Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool. Next, click and drag on the PDF where the image should go. The image can be resized and moved around easily.
    IMAGES NOT PRINTING
    The solution for this was found on a different thread:
    In our case, we noticed that Standard 9 was saving documents so that when the print option was select the default option selected for Comments and Forms was, "Documents and Markups."
    Simply changing this setting to "Documents," as with all previous version of Adobe resolved our printing printing problems.
    Hope this is helpful for all of banging your head against the wall like we were.

    Thanks, everyone!

  • Creating Interactive PDF w/Indd 5.5 - Form button popping up

    I'm creating an interactive pdf with 5.5 and everytime a specific pdf opens a tab appears at the top that says: "Please fill out the following form. If you...."
    Does anyone know why this is popping up? and how to find the element in InDesign that is causing it, and delete it or edit it so this message/tab does not appear?
    thanks!

    It’s an annoyance. The workaround is to set some level of security on the document.
