Export completed PDF Form to New PDF ???

Hello,
I have a USPS PDF that is filled out complete with all the needed information such as names, dates, weight, and so on. This is from July 2009, the USPS just came out the exact same form for 2010 and I want to know if there is a way to export the July 2009 form information to the 2010 sheet. They are the same sheet exactly just the date has changed ? I have acrobat 8 Pro.
Thanks

For the data, you can also try an export to a data file (FDF typically) from the old form and then import the data to the new form.
The success would depend on the same field names being used.
I was going to suggest that too until I looked at the second form. It has no form fields.

  • Submitting a PDF form --- save and send completed PDF document?

    A small government site has a number of 'submittable' PDF
    form documents
    that they'd like me to include on the website. I am not very
    familiar
    with PDF forms in this way, and hope someone here can help
    sort out a
    few things...
    Can a PDF form be submitted so that
    a) the completed PDF doc is saved on the server (and renamed)
    b) a printable , completed PDF (looks just like the one they
    filled out,
    with all their values saved in the input boxes) is emailed to
    specific
    address
    c) the raw user data is saved to database (maybe a list of
    fields in one
    column of a db table, and a matching list of values in
    another? this
    would just be for backup in case the completed PDF did not
    save
    correctly to the server, or for later reference)
    We've looked at the standard Acrobat 'submit via email' and
    that won't
    cut it... that method appears to simply trigger a 'mailto'
    popup, with
    the pdf as an attachment. Our system needs to be automated
    via CFmail.
    None of these would handle any 'sensitive' information, the
    main
    concern, from their part, is people being able to submit the
    form and
    have both the city office and the recipient get a copy that
    prints just
    as if they had hit 'print' when filling out the actual PDF.
    Is all of this possible ??
    if so... any tips appreciated!

    nobody?
    seems i can do some of this with 'cfpdfform'... looking into
    it but also
    seeking live examples/experience.

  • Completing PDF forms via web, but saving result on server

    Hi
    I've been asked to design a system, where individuals are sent a request to complete a templated PDF form with a number of available fields. They complete the form and submit.
    At this point I need to save the completed form on the application server behind the web server as PDF. This PDF is then shown to various individuals for authorising.
    For security, it's important that the PDF is not saved to the desktop.
    I'm fairly new to pdf toolset, so
    1. What is the best tool for authoring PDF templates where the ability print/save etc can be suppressed?
    2. Can the PDF template be sent back to the webserver to be saved?
    3. Do I need any other tool, plugins to achieve this?
    Thanks
    Graham

    I will be out of the office starting  03/01/2011 and will not return until
    03/06/2011.
    Please contact Todd Richardson at [email protected] or Adam Terlinden at

  • Protecting completed PDF fill-in forms from changes

    I have several completed PDF fill-in forms that I wish to make available on a website, but I do not want the viewer to be able to make changes to the forms.  Is there a setting that will turn off the fill-in function?

    You can either set the fields to read-only or flatten them. The latter can't be undone, unlike setting to read-only, so it may be preferable. For a convenient method of flattening, you can use the following free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
    or open the form in Acrobat, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), enter the following line of code:
    flattenPages();
    and with the cursor on that line, click Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad. Be sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original since this is not reversible.

  • How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
    To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

  • Pages 09 Are enterable forms possible? So that I can export to PDF and others can fill in that form and return to me?

    I want to create a membership form (PDF format) and put it on my website for potential members to download. Ideally they can enter their details in the PDF and return it to me via e-mail. How would I do this please?

    No, this capability does not exist in Pages.
    LibreOffice has a forms designer so that you can create in-line, fillable forms. You can then one-button export to PDF. The LibreOffice Writer Guide has an entire chapter assigned to Forms.

  • Problem filling out a form exported from pdf to docx.

    I "successfully" exported a pdf form to word docx.  The form looks exactly like the original.  However, when I attempt to fill in the blanks (which are large)  the text gets dropped in vertically e.g.  first name la
                                                    st name (on a lower line).  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  Filling out this form is urgent, and the only reason I purchased this program.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Catherine,
    I'd like to assist!
    The file may have converted as an image, possibly due to poor quality.
    Are you able to bring the words together by utilizing your 'back' key?
    Let me know how it goes if you try converting it again.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • 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.

  • Button to send filled out form as completed pdf form via email

    I have created a form that when filled out, should send the form by email to the recipient as a completed pdf form. It works with Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
    Any Ideas?
    form can be found at:  http://www.lcyc.ca/images/stories/macman2012/macmanentry.pdf

    Check out:
    http://www.nk-inc.com/macmanentry.pdf
    Use your real name, and e-mail address in the PDF form fields, and recieve a customized email copy and response.
    The script will parse and merge the XDP submission, so there's no need to Reader Enable your forms.
    PDFEmail.net works in ASP.net web servers.
    Note: Do not submit sensitive information, this is just a demo. I may get a BCC of the form.

    Submitting in HTML format is useful if you're only interested in the form data, but since your form includes digital signature fields, you will want to submit the entire PDF. Using multiple digital signature fields intended for different signers doesn't make much sense for a web form, unless you intend to serve a form that was signed by one person to then be signed by another.
    If submitting the entire PDF, the script can save the entire incoming POSTed data to a file somewhere, in addition to all of the security-related things it needs to handle, and then return a response. As mentioned earlier, it is usually best if this response is an FDF. Here's a link to an introduction to some of the basic concepts: Working with Form Data in Acrobat X | Acrobat Community TV | Adobe TV
    starting at the 9:50 mark. It deals with submitting in HTML format, but it should get you started.
