Export responses as csv crashes Acrobat

I'm testing a new form and when I try to export the response as a "CSV" file, Acrobat Pro crashes (9.5.2). Exporting as a "xml" file works fine. Thoughts? Is there a limit on the number of fields or problems with tables?

Well, this is a constant problem I see everywhere in Adobe UI design. Everything seems to be initially conceived for the lowest common denominator of use. There are only two reasons I can see for this - someone in charge thinks that it's cheaper and/or the designers don't actually use the software except in a cursory way. The first reason is just plain dumb because fixing the stuff afterward is far more expensive than doing it right the first time. I mean look at Premiere Pro. The awful design choices in 1.0 are still being fixed and will continue to be for the next two to three versions, if ever.
To be fair, no software is initially created 'perfect'. It's just that of all companies whose products I've used over the last 25 years, I think Adobe typically fairs the worst out the gate. They're trying to change that now, with user consultation much earlier in the design process but I still see that same old mind set at work.

I have a zipped dump file if someone at Adobe wants it.

Yes, the application is loaded and then closed for each file. I agree it's not ideal, but that's just how it works. So 45 minutes for 200 files comes down to about 13 seconds per file, which is reasonable considering it has to open Word, open the file, convert it to a PDF and then close Word.
You can request this feature to be improved here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
By the way, you should make sure that you have the latest version of Acrobat available, to ensure maximum compatibility.

Custom pagemarks (.mrk files) crash Acrobat X?

We have some custom .mrk files (installed in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/PrintSpt) for setting custom pagemarks on print proofs.
Generally speaking, we use them in InDesign.
Tonight, I tried using them in Acrobat X Pro (10.1.0) under Mac OS X 10.6.8, and they crash Acrobat.
I tried the sample pagemark files from Real World InDesign, http://blatner.com/rwid/mrk.zip, and they crash Acrobat as well.
Does anyone have an experience with custom pagemarks in Acrobat? Are they supposed to work? Or am I just fooling myself?
Curiously, or so it seems to me, the crash is not in the AdobeAGM librayr, but rather in the main Acrobat framework:

My next step is to try extracting the built-in .mrk files and seeing how they differ from mine, but I thought it would be good to ask first before I went ahead and did that.
Thanks!
(The purpose of our custom .mrk files, btw, is to print Page Information within the imageable area, so we can print the date/time of printing on our in-house 11x17 proofs of 11x17 pages before we go to press.)

Hi All,
I am posting here in elkalamar's discussion because it is on topic for a related question that is not getting response from my own discussion thread. I hope someone can help.
I am using Indesign CS 5.5 on Windows 7 operating system.
I have converted a book (pdf print) to an interactive pdf. Almost every page has an mp3 that plays on page load and ALMOST all of it is working like a charm, except:
there are two files (also mp3's, file size not necessarily larger than any of the other mp3s) that play in Indesign's preview panel and that also play in my iTunes media player, as well as if I export the document as an .swf. But these two mp3s DO NOT play (or are playing with no sound somehow) in Interactive PDF export.
If I leave the 'media player' grey box enlarged instead of hiding it, I know that the mp3 IS appearing, but no sound or not playing. Other buttons on the same page and throughout the rest of the document work just fine.
Any idea what could be going on with these two mp3s?
Thanks,

Cannot export responses to Excel or PDF

I have tried exporting responses to Excel, and when I click Ok to save it, Internet Explorer crashes. The same thing happens when I try to export the detailed view to PDF. I'm using Windows 7, IE 8, and the free version of FormsCentral. I'm not sure if one of those is the problem or if I need to change my settings in IE. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
For the benefit of others - we've resolved this issue offline. We think potentially there's a corporate IT policy that is causing IE to crash, as the issue could not be reproduced on other computers with the same browser and Flash Player. Switching to FireFox resolved the issue for the customer.
Thanks,
Todd

Export data in CSV and store the file in local drive

Hi,
Here is the requirements.
Fetch the values from table (around 60000 records), and export them into CSV file and store the file in local drive.
I have written servlet to to this and it is working fine expect saving the file in local drive. At the moment, it is asking to save as in local drive. i want to save the file automatically in particular path (/var/www/files/). Below is the code.

          tryAt the moment, when i run http://localhost:8080/project/CandidatesDetail, it will ask me to save the file somewhere. I should manually mention the path to save the file. what i want is, it should automatically save it in the location C:\projects\files\.

How to change the default structure when exporting data in CSV format?

Hello,
can some one tell us how to change the default structure in CRM when exporting lists in CSV format (with Option "Always use unformatted list format (CSV) for download" ? Because we want to add a new structure for our own -is it possible ?
If it is possible where can we find these structure ? In the blueprint customizing ?
Thank you very much,

There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
Excerpts from sun docs:
However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
Details are here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
Will update if i find more information

Problem in exporting report in CSV format

Hi All,
I am using Crystal Reports. Following are details about it:

Product 8.5.0.217
*_Problem that I am facing:__*_
I can create report in .rpt format, it is working fine here. But while trying to export this report in CSV format, it gives report that doesn't contain any information.
Is it because I am missing something or it is a known issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Anand

Hi,
I too am facing the same problem.
The report was made in 8.5. I have exported the report & opened it in Crystal report 12.
I can export to PDF, RTF, DOC & Tab separated Test.
However when I export this report in .csv (legacy mode) I just get the header & when I export it in .csv (Standard) I get a blanck .csv file.
I have checked 'Isolate Report/Page sections' and 'Isolate Group sections'. Still no data in the report.
refreshed it too.
I contains sub reports, but not in the page header & footer (I think) & it does not seem to have cross tabs & OLAP grids.
Any help is appreciated.

How to export report IN CSV format through JAVA.

how to export report in csv format.when try to export in csv format.its exporting into csv but report not containing column heading , report heading and it showing all the data in a single line.we have integrated the reports with java.

Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

How do I expand a ActiveDirectorySubnetCollection so I can view all elements and export to a CSV file?

Hello,
In the following, I list SiteName, Location, Subnets, and Severs, however I don't see all the servers or the subnets, presumably because Subnets are an ActiveDirectorySubnetColletion and Servers are a ReadOnlyDirectoryServerCollection. So I want to
expand this property so I can see all the elements of the collection, or array. I've tried the Select-Object -ExpandProperty, but I get an error due to -ExpandProperty looking for a string.
Any suggestions on how to expand both the Subnet and Server collections so I can see all elements and I can export to a CSV file?

Calling AVDocClose with more than one PDF open crashes Acrobat

That pretty much sums it up. If I have a single PDF open and I call AVDocClose everything works great. If I have more than one PDF open it crashes Acrobat and takes down all of the open documents. Any ideas as to what might be happening and how to get around it? I'm seeing it in both Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9.

Okay, that sounds ike it could be something to look at. I'm certainly not an expert in using the SDK so maybe you can help me identify the potential issue. This is the code I'm using with some comments to help you understand what I'm doing. I just added the ASFileSysReleasePath references after reading your post but apparently I'm still missing something. The issue occurs in the code path where I'm working with local documents.
ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand_Save(void *clientData)
initializeVariables();
if(myAVDoc==NULL)
// if no doc is loaded, display a message.
AVAlertNote("There is no PDF document loaded in Acrobat.");
else
//Here are a couple of functions that are just used to set up some file paths for both windows and acrobat
string docName = getDocName();
string path = buildAcroPath(docName);
ASPathName upPath = ASFileSysCreatePathFromCString(NULL,path.c_str());
//call doc exists to see if we have a local doc or one that is in control of my DMS - doesn't use any Acrobat SDK functions
bool ndExists = ndDocExists(filename);
if(!ndExists) //if the file is not from the DMS
//save this file to a temporary location - this is what actually gets sent to the DMS
PDDocSave(pdDoc, PDSaveFull | PDSaveCopy | PDSaveCollectGarbage , upPath, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);
//send the document to the DMS and get the status of the operation back - doesn't use any Acrobat SDK functions
int ndStatus = ndImport(path);
checkNDStatus(ndStatus);
else
//This is a document from the DMS. Just do a regular file save
PDDocSave(pdDoc, PDSaveFull | PDSaveCollectGarbage , pathName, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);
ASFileSysReleasePath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), upPath);
ASFileSysReleasePath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), pathName);
AVDocClose(myAVDoc, false);
return;

Exporting string to csv keeping commas and new lines

Hi there,
I am exporting string to csv and have been removeing new lines and commas like so
thing.toString().replace(/\n/g, '').replace(',','') ;
how can I do this iwthout losing the line breaks and commas? I can't have them in atm because messes up the csv.

JSON is for 'transfering' information that can be reassembled into number, string, array, object, etc. format afterwards.
Excel can import CSV but it might not understand the complexity of the information. Tyically what you would do is serialize complex information with JSON, recieve it on the other side (wherever that might be) and then deserialize it. After you deserialize it using JSONs abilities to turn your information back into what is was (numbers, strings, arrays and object) it is up to you how you restructure the data for the format you choose.
Your original intent of preserving CSV is best for Excel or OpenOffice Calc. You didn't mention your intent. JSON would package those (CRLF) \n's for you.
