Email PDF with data not XML

Good day everyone,
I have designed a form with two email buttons, ie Send To Manager and Submit Form. Now what I want to happen is this:
When one of the buttons is clicked, I want the recipient to receive a PDF form (NOT an xml) with all the datat that the employee has completed.
Currently the xml is sent & when I open the xml, its blank, all the data is not there. I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1
Regards,
Ace

  • PDF form data not visible when opened in Illustrator CS5

    I've been searching the forums but have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
    I've created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The PDF form fields are then populated with data via Netsuite. When I open the PDF (with data) in Acrobat all of the information shows up, however when I open the PDF in Illustrator CS5 the field data is not visible. Is there a way to force the data to be visible when opened in Illustrator?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

  • Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

    How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Sharon
    The easiest way is:
    - Open your PDF form within Acrobat
    - From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
    - From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
    The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
    If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

  • Email form as pdf (with data)

    I'm new to using LiveCycle and Adobe Forms- so I know this question is redundant.  I have read several threads regarding this same issue I'm having, but don't see any follow-up responses that provide solid solutions. 
    I have created a fillable form using LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  I need to be able to allow users to submit the filled out form as pdf via email (using Outlook-all users uave Outlook on their stations).  I've adjusted the button properties (using button, not email submit button), adjusted the xml code (to submit as pdf instead of xml), etc.  I may have done too much or adjusted things so that they negate each other.  I am able to get the process to work fine using Acrobat 8.0 Pro, but the button does nothing when using Adobe Reader XI. 
    Users will be using the Adobe Reader XI when filling out & emailing the form.
    All responses are greatly appreciated!  As usual..there's a time crunch with this project. 

    Looks like you need to Reader Extend the form.  Acrobat Pro has the capability to perform the functions you are after automatically.  If you want Reader to have the same capability, then you need to use PRO to 'Reader Extend' the PDF.
    If you have a LiveCycle server, that can be used as well - providing you have a server certificate.
    Please read the limitations in Pro for using it to extend documents - as per the EULA.

  • Prepopulating PDF forms with data from XML file

    How can I get a PDF form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 8.0 and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. The closest I came was to use the ImportData method, but that only lets you specify a data file if the form is signed (certified), which these aren't and don't need to be because we're using them on an internal company web page. ImportData works if there is no file name, but then the user has to navigate to and select the correct file, which we can't rely on our users to do.
    I've researched this problem for days on this and other websites and haven't found an answer (one Adobe advisor suggested purchasing LifeCycle Forms, which is not an option because it's a $10,000 software package and the company wouldn't authorize a purchase that steep). We will buy a less-expensive option if there is one. We'll even hire a consultant if we can find one to who can design a supportable solution. All suggestions will be much appreciated.

  • PC's but not Macs can send my "distributed" pdf with data added back to me

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on a iMac with Snow Leopard to create input fields on a pdf document.  I then use FORMS > DISTRIBUTE FORM and e-mail the "...distributed.pdf" document to PC and Mac users.  The PC users can enter data in these form fields and e-mail the updated pdf file back to me.  However, Mac users can enter data, but when they e-mail the updated pdf back to me the data is not on the file that I receive. 
    When they have Java turned on, PC users see the following on the distributed pdf file that I e-mail to them: (1) A purple bar at the top of the screen; (2) In that purple bar the following text appears "Please Fill out the following form . . . "; (3) On the right side of the screen (in the purple bar), there are two icons with the following labels: "Highlight Fields" and "Submit Form" and (4) On the right side of the screen (below the purple bar), there are input fields with a blue background.  However, Mac users do not see (1) - (4); however, they can enter data in the form fields and save the pdf file.  But as stated above when they e-mail that file back to me, that data is not on the file that I receive.

    I resolved this problem myself with the aid of my local Mac User's Group.
    The solution was to change the default pdf reader from "Preview" to "Adobe Reader" on the Mac computers that were receiving my "distributed" pdf files.
    Having "Preview" as the default program to open pdf files may not affect other users.   However, all Mac users need to realize that even though they have installed the latest version of Adobe Reader, their Mac is still using "Preview" to view pdf files unless they have changed the default pdf reader from "Preview" to "Adobe Reader".   If you ever need to make that change, follow the simple steps below.
    (1) Download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader
    (1-A) Go to www.adobe.com website
    (1-B) Click on "Get Adobe Reader" icon
    (1-C) Select your version of Mac OS version and download Adobe Reader
    (1-D) Install Adobe Reader
    (2) Make Adobe Reader your default program to open pdf files.
    (2-A) Move the Adobe Reader icon in your "Applications" folder to the "Dock"
    (2-B) Open a pdf file
    (2-C) You should then get the following message: "Adobe Reader is not currently configured to be the default application for pdf files.  Would you like to make pdf files open with Adobe Reader instead of Preview?"
    (2-D) Click "Yes"
    It is very fundamental that Mac user's realize that "Preview" is the default pdf reader.  This information was not available in "Mac OS X Snow Leopard (the missing manual), "Adobe Acrobat 9 - Classroom in a Book", "Adobe Acrobat 9 (Visual Quickstart Guide" or this forum.

  • Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

    Dear co.forumers :
    We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
    In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
    Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
    So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
    How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
    Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
    Has anyone had the same problem ?
    Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

    A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

  • Email pdf with hyperlink

    Hi,
    I am trying to email an optimized pdf file with hyperlinks. The links work and show up when I am in Acrobat (version - Prof. 9.0), but when i email the pdf they do not show up in the email. My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email (so u don't have to actually open any programs) with the links active, so when reading the email you can move your cursor over it and the link will show as active. Hope that makes sense, in essence it's basically an email blast, but for some reason my links aren't showing up in the final email. I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    >My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email
    Impossible to assure that with all users. Many may have their email client set to show it as an attachment only.

  • Email Notification with date field

    Hi,
    i marked the a field as Display field this way it is displayed in the Email notification. (%Records%).
    But i can see the letral date field displayed in email as 2010:03:09:00:00:00:000
    Why is the ''00:00:00:000'' displayed when i have a date field??
    Did anyone face this issue..
    KR
    John

    HI John,
    Date field in MDM is 18 characters long and has date as well as time component to it.
    You can use assignment to trim this and transfer its value to another field and make that field as DF,so that it is displayed in the mail as date.
    Otherwise you can also create a calculated field for this purpose.
    Please go through this very useful link to create expressions/validations with dates:

  • 10.1.3 Migration Issue with data-sources.xml

    Hi:
    Running into lots of migration issues for an application built in 10.1.3 EA, migrating to 10.1.3. production, mostly in the BC project. Here's one: the database connections built in EA were not carried over to prod, so they needed to get re-built. No biggie. But now the data-sources.xml file in the model project has duplicate entries for my data sources. I have tried directly editting that file and removing the duplicates, but when I go to run my application (ADF Faces & ADF BC) JDeveloper hangs. When I abort JDev and re-start it, the duplicate entries are back in data-sources.xml (and yes, I did save the file after making the changes). It seems that the xml file is built dynamically from definitions stored elsewhere. Where is the source? What will I need to modify to get the changes to take?
    Thanks.
    Johnny Lee

    There is new control over when/whether JDeveloper add/updates your data-sources.xml file for the embedded server. The settings are located here:
    Tools | Embedded OC4J Server Preferences | Current Workspace | Data Sources
    There are some settings there that control whether/when we update the data-sources.xml

  • Preview breaks pdf with data entry cells?

    Hi,
    Here's the gist of the trouble:
    I created a simple invoice in acrobat with data entry cells for the user to enter hours worked, description of work, etc. It works fine in acrobat.
    If I open it in Preview two things seem to happen:
    1. closing the document saves it without me being prompted
    2. the data entry cells are mucked up - data is in the cells but can't be seen unless I click on the cell. If I click away from that cell the data dissappears behind a blue highlight of the cell (the same blue highlight I see in Preview). I am able to 'bring the data back' by selecting the data, cmd-x, click to another cell, click back to original cell, cmd-v. It don't make no darned sense I tell ya!
    So, why is Preview saving my data without asking me? What's going on there?
    Why is Preview breaking the data entry cells?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers, Mike

    This is the work around that I got from the Apple iWork Team; they are working on solving the problem:
    "Unfortunately, Numbers can enter a bad state. We are investigating a fix. In the meantime:
    To avoid this bad state, please do not exit Numbers with a file open. Always:
    1. Tap the "My Spreadsheets" button to close the file.
    2. Then exit Numbers."
    So far, following this procedure, I have encountered no problems. If Numbers is in this "bad state," you can return it to a normal condition by either double tapping the spreadsheet name which will put you into edit mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Also, you can tap the arrow in the upper right corner to enter read mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Hope this helps.
