Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

Hi,
I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
Best regards,

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

Using Windows 8.1. Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11. Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs. Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing. Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option. How do I cut and paste the text?

Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
piece of text. Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
down together). Still no Copy option anywhere.
Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it. Should I
look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above. Again,
no option to copy with any of them.
Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
am writing. I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader. At this point, I am
wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
(Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
idea of which reader might have been installed there. That version did,
however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
ideas about what to do now.

Standard Text IN ADOBE Forms

Hi,
Can you tell me how to use standard text in ADOBE forms,
and how to fetch A Customs Tariff Number or an HTS (Harmonized Tariff System)
from other system.

Hi Oliver,
I believe you standard text is a table type of TDLINES.
On the form you would display it with a table of 1 column 1 row with repeat row ticked.
Have the like below code on the fomr ready event of your table.
for(var i =0; i<this.Row1.nodes.length;i++)
 if(i == 1){
 this.Row1.Cell1.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
 this.Row1.xx.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
Note: in my example I had a table with one row names Row1 and 2 fields cell1 type textbox, & xx as text / label.
If its like you have it in a text box with multiple entries, we need to spli the value such that 1st row is displayed in a text box whose parameters are by defeult set to font red, and rest of them to this text area.
If your procedure is table the code sud work, else let me know how you get data and how do you display it on the screen.
Cheers,
Sai

Using formats of SO10 text in Adobe forms

Hello guys,
I got a question concerning the interaction of SO10 texts with adobe form text fields.
I know there are some threads about it here, and I think I understand the default SAP behavior, but can you please confirm if I am right? Then I got a special question about one case.
So is it right that there is only the difference between formatting the textfield itself in adobe form layout and adding a style to the text field in form context?
This means:
(1) Whenever in my text field in form context no style is added, the adobe form will take the formatting like it is done in the adobe form layout? This would mean that every format which is entered in the SO10 text is insignificant for the adobe form?
(2) Whenever in my text field a style is added, SAP will use SO10 text formats? This means, SAP searches for the smartforms style which is entered in the textfield and uses the formats from SO10 text like they were defined in the smartforms style?
Is this correct so far?
Now the special questions:
(1) What happens if a style is added, but the style does not exist as smartforms style. Which font etc. will be used then?
(2) What happens if a style is added, but the format of SO10 text does not exist in the smartform style?
In both cases it looks like SAP takes some "default" style, but where does it come from?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Michael

Copy sections of text in Adobe form crashes the Adobe reader/IE 8

Hi,
I have generated a PDF form and showing it in the browser(IE8) when a user clicks on a button in CRM UI.
When I try to copy a section of text in the generated form, the browser crashes. Also, If i try to copy sections of text from the from opened in adobe reader 9, reader too crashes.
Apparently this does not happen with all forms generated out of SAP. I have already checked the fonts used in the form and they just look fine. I generated the same form in SFP transaction without data and were able to copy the text from the form.
Kindly help with a solution to this.
Regards,
ArulJothi A

Because Adobe Reader for Windows 8 Tablets is intended primarily for Touch-enabled devices, it's much easier to select text by the press-and-hold gesture.
Since you mentioned "using a desktop PC", I assume that you are trying to select text using a mouse. You can double-click a word with a mouse first. Two grabbers (handles with two circles) and the Copy menu will appear on the screen.
Once you set selection using the grabbers, you can click the Copy menu item. At this point, the selected text is copied to Windows clipboard. Then, you can paste it to somewhere else such as Notepad using Ctrl+V (keyboard shortcut) or selecting Paste from a context menu.
The current text selection behavior is not very intuitive nor natural to Windows desktop users. We are looking into improving it in a future release.

Formatting Issues with SO10 text in Adobe forms

Hi Everyone,
I Have the below text maintained in SO10.
"Thank you for choosing Enterprise. We look forward to seeing you at 9:00 am on Monday, November 28, 2011. This message is to confirm you have updated your reservation. Following are the details for the updated reservation:
P.S. Remember us when you're renting in town. Enterprise is always nearby at more than 6,500 neighborhood locations."
I have created an text module of type include text in Adobe form context. the text which has to be bold is not being displayed as bold and the line space after first paragraph is being skipped out and the 2nd paragraph is being displayed as the continuation of the first. The out put looks as below
"Thank you for choosing Enterprise. We look forward to seeing you at 9:00 am on Monday, November 28, 2011. This message is to confirm you have updated your reservation. Following are the details for the updated reservation: P.S. Remember us when you're renting in town. Enterprise is always nearby at more than 6,500 neighborhood locations."
I tried Styles using SE72 on the SO10 text. And I cannot assign smartform styles on SO10 text in Adobe forms.
Greatly appreciate your suggestions and solutions.
Thanks,
shalini

Using Rich Text in interactive form

Hi,
I am trying to enter rich text in a form and submitting it to a web dynpro application.
To achieve this I created a context attribute (type string) and mapped it through an interface with the form. In the form I created a text field (type XHTML). I unchecked the 'allow plain text only' option and unchecked the 'Allow multiple lines' option although multiple lines would be nice as my goal is to store a large block of rich formatted text.
When I press the submit button the form field is not synchronized with the wd application. Another (plain text) field works fine so I assume I have setup the interactive form ok. Please let me know what it is that I am doing wrong here. Or if it is not possible, let me know also.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
No, not yet (I did not have time for it...). The next thing I will try is to modify my interface. At the moment I use a XML schedule based interface and I would like to try an ABAP based interface. Don't know if that will help but it is worth a try.

Can I color a line of "standard text" in adobe forms output?

Simple question: Can I color a line of "standard text" in adobe forms output?
My standard text (SO10) has multiple lines.
Can I make one of the lines red?

Static text in Adobe forms

Hello Experts,
I have requirement to create a adobe form which have 90% of static text .I want to know to display those text should i go with standard text(SO10) ot should i directly display it in text-field on the form layout.Or there is any other way to display.
Which is best? Kindly suggest.
Thank you,
Shweta

Hi Shweta,
I started working on adobe in late 2010. I prefer and would personally go for SO10 instead of adding text in text-field. Adding texts under one TextName would give a clear picture for further enhancements instead of adding the texts one by one in text fields.
We do have a Wiki on SCN about adding static texts to adobe forms using SO10. Here it goes:

Export text from ID5 (Windows) to MS Word 2010

Hi, everybody. My problem goes like this:
I have around 1000 pages of a book in several PageMaker 7.0 files (1 chapter per file).
I have converted the files to ID5 and now I need to export the text and the images to get one Word file for each chapter of the book.
The objective is a major revision/modification.
Eack chapter has a lot of pictures placed inline that flows with the text.
What I need is to put everything in word files in a way that would make life easier for people that is going to make modifications to the text but want to see the images (in screen resolution).
I have no problem exporting the text from ID 5 (rtf files).
Any ideias for putting the images on the Word file without having to do, at least, screen captures with Snagit and placing manually a representation of the images, one by one, in each of the Word files?
Best regards and thank you in advance

Hi Maria,
Not sure how image captions crept into this discussion, but I guessing a language confusion.
Essentially my application works as follows:
It gathers a list of all open documents and their stories, and all the graphics within the stories. Each graphic is checked to make sure it is linked (not embedded), and is inline (not floating) and gives a warning if there is a problem.
Once activated, it finds all the inline graphics,
deletes them and replaces them with the full path to the linked file, wrapped in double < and > symbols. I use this symbol pattern because it is never used in any of our material.
The stories are then exported to rtf files, and all the documents are closed (without saving).
The exported stories are then opened into Word and each placeholder is found using <<*>>, this gives the location for the graphic, and the path can be extracted from the content of the find. The graphic is then inserted, replacing the placeholder text, and repeated until there are no more find results. There may be an easier way to do this bit, but this work for me.
A Word version of the InDesign styles are merged from a separate Word template file to fix other layout incompatibilities.
The files are then saved as Word files.
The application also performs few more functions happening in the background as well to compensate for compatibility problems between the InDesign and Word styles.
This is all done with a combination of AppleScript and Javascript. You should be able to achieve the same with Visual Basic.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer on what to do, and private message me if you need me to talk to your programmer on any details.
Regards.

Hi,
You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.
