Exporting acrobat fields into Word 2007

Hi all,
I have a client who had an adobe document on his website which user fill out and then submit using Outlook. He now wants to create a form letter (in Word 2007) by using the data that the users submitted on the acrobat document.
In a nutshell, I have to export the adobe fields into Word. Being a total novice, I don't even know if this is possible?
I am thinking along the lines of some sort of a mail merge.
Thanks in advance.

Have you exported in the various formats and examined the created file?
FDF and XFDF are special formats for Acrobat forms.
Text is a text with tab delimited. The field names comprise the first row and each form's data is then listed under the first row in the same order as the field names in row one.

Export database fields to Word

I have an application used for entering news release
information into a database. The person who is responsible for the
new releases used to send me the information in a Word document and
I would copy and paste it into an html page.
Now the information can be entered via a form in the browser
which takes care of the web site, however, the Word document still
needs to be sent to the newspapers.
I have figured out how to export the files into Word and what
steps are needed in Word to format it to be sent to the newspapers.
I want to add a link to the application that will that will
automate this process.

The usual method for inserting data fields to Word is through
a merge document.
Microsoft does not recommend that you run Office applications
on a Web server, so this is better accomplished through a non-Web
application.
Another alternative would be to construct the document using
Word XML (mso:xml). You can find a reference for the formats at
http://msdn.microsoft.com
Good luck!

Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

Hi,
I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

Auto-Detect Form Fields from Word 2007

LiveCycle 8.x fails to detect form fields from form documents I've created in Word 2007. I also notice that Word 2007 documents saved as Word 2003 documents do not convert the text fields either (text fields static).
Is LiveCycle 8.x compatible with Office 2007 or does it depend on the conversion from 2007 (.docx format) to 2003 (.doc format) before creating the PDF then detecting and placing the fields?

I could tell it not to run in Acrobat 9 but can’t figure out how to do that in version 11. When I use the Create Form command, I get a series of windows that guide me through the process of creating the form. Unlike Acrobat 9, none of those windows includes an option for not running auto detect. At the end of the process, the form is created with fields. The only solution seems to be to let Acrobat create the fields, and then delete them all and manually create the fields I want. Thanks for your feedback.

Insert PDF document into Word 2007 document

I am trying to insert a PDF document into a Word 2007 document and only the first page inserts. I am desperate to finish this project. Thanks for any help.

A lot depends on what your end goal is in using the PDF. Without some concept of where you are headed, there is not much more that can be said, other than list a bunch of other ways to interact with WORD.
Yeah, I agree with Bill@VT. More precisely say, if you just need to quote the pdf content, you can just use "snagit" screenshot program to capture desired part of the pdf file as an image then paste into your word document. Usually in this way, there will not any resize or data loss of reuse pdf content into word file.
And of course, if you want to further change or edit the pdf content or seamlessly <link removed>, you just try to convert pdf to word with Adobe Acrobat or other software.

Acrobat Pro 6 & Word 2007

Have a pdf document that I can open and edit in Pro 6. However, when I save out as a word.doc document and open it in Word 2007, all I have is an image of the document that I cannot edit.
Any suggestions as to what I'm failing to do?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Original document was scanned in and then saved as a pdf - using software that came with a Kodak printer. It is editable within Acrobat Pro 6. If I turn off save images in the settings box in acrobat it fails to save at all. So I guess acrobat is just saving it out as an image.
It wasn't OCR'd.
But is there a solution?

Using acrobat pro in word 2007

I just upgraded to word 2007 and have acrobat pro 7.0.0. I
can't figure out how to save a document as a pdf! Adobe Acrobat Pro
shows up as an add-in in "word options" - Add-ins, but there is no
add-in tab, and I can't find any way to actually use it!!! Any
insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try asking your question in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat

Problem in export Number field into graphical reports

I have a custom field Number1.
I put a decimal number (italian version) 0,5
I use Number1 inside Cost1...to make some calculations, so the number format I see that is correct.
I use Number1 as dimension into a graphical report (to excel file).
Into the pivot of the excel the Number1 has the "," character converted to a underscore "_"
So 0,5 become 0_5
0,1 become 0_1
I need the correct format into excel because I have to do other calculations.
thank you.
MS Project 2013 and MS Excel 2010. Both italian version.

Hi Daniele,
How do you do your Excel export? Saving the file in a XLS format or creating a visual report?
A workaround would be to write a simple macro in your Excel file:
Sub test()
Cells.Replace What:="_", Replacement:=",", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub
But before trying this, let's try to debug your export.
Hope this helps,

Acrobat toolbars in word 2007

I am currently using CS4 (with Acrobat 9).
Yesterday, I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2007.
Two Acrobat toolbars (Convert and Select) are no longer with any of Office 2007 files. How can I retrieve these two toolbars for Office 07? James

Try these...
If you are missing the PDF option in MS Office 2007, you may
download a plug-in from MS to create a PDF without Acrobat, go
to the MS article search page and do a search, or go to the MS
Office update page and search for the file to download

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)

Acrobat 9 Pro - Will it print to pdf with embedded pdf's from Word 2007?

Hello All,
We're considering upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended. One of our concerns is whether it will handle the following:
1. We create very large documents and we like the ability to use OLE of existing PDF documents imbedded into Word 2007 which causes a new PDF window to open up from the imbedded PDF. It also displays nicely as an icon or the cover page within Word.
2. The challenge is when printing (distilling) that master document with any imbedded PDFs, the icon or cover page is displayed, but the OLE feature goes away and does not recognize the imbedded PDF any longer; Acrobat simply treats the imbedded PDF in Word as any other page in the distilling process.
3. We're not wild about bookmarking or linking to another PDF.
Does Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended resolve this issue?

The options availible for scripted print settings are all shown in the entry for "PrintParams" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Have you looked to see if these options fit your needs? If they do, and if the script can detect which PDF requires which options, then you're in business. But if the options you need are not there, then your only option is to set the batch process to display the print dialog for every PDF.

Acrobat 3D and Word/Office 2007 issues

Is anyone having issues with Word 2007 docs after installing the Tech Comm Suite? We think it might be related to Acrobat 3D.
Word 2007 docs show the index markers even when the Show/Hide Paragraph setting is turned off.
Also, an error ("Compile error and hidden module distmon")appears when opening an Excel 2007 doc.
If anyone has any insight or how to possibly fix this, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply,
we are using 'Oracle XML Publisher Template Builder for Word' Version 5.6 Build 45.
I have looked again in Word 2007. I went to Word Options > Add-Ins
Various Add-Ins are listed. There is an inactive one called 'Custom XML Data':
Publisher:'Microsoft Corporation'
Location: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OFFRHD.DLL'
Description: Inspects for custom XML data stored with this documentAm I right in guessing this has nothing to do with XMLP?
There is nothing else in the list relating to XMLP.
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks

Microsoft Word 2007 - Clickable Hyperlinks in Headers/Footers

Hi there,
I am in the process of creating a site document for a client and as it is in electronic format, I am using bookmarks and Hyperlinks to help readers navigate the document more easily.
The problem I am having at the moment is with the documents footer. Basically, I would like to have a clickable hyperlink at the bottom of each page that will return the user to the contents page when it is clicked.
Unfortunately though, I have not been able to work out how to this as the link is not clickable once the footer editor has been closed. Converting the document to PDF has not solved the problem either as the conversion removes the hyperlink completely.
Surely this functionality in a document is not uncommon? I have done a fair amount of web searching about this but have not come across any real solutions yet. Manually placing a test box with the link on each page is not an acceptable solution either
as this is a large document and will likely be edited/revised in the future.
Any help with this would be much appreciated :-)

I tried this but didnt work for mr. Can you help? How did you PDFed??
It works for me in Word 2010 (or later) using Save As PDF. It did not work in Word 2007 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer nor using Word 2007's save as pdf utility. (The hyperlink showed up but was not active.) It did work using the Acrobat tab in Word
2007 (this requires Adobe Acrobat).
I did this by:
first creating the text box with the hyperlink in the body of the document and moving it into the footer area (but still not in the footer itself).
Then I used the Format tab of Text Box Tools and the Postion button (More Layout Options).
I gave it an absolute vertical position relative to the page.
Then I cut the text box, went into the footer, and pasted it there.
It might have worked to just create the text box in the footer itself.
I personally prefer it that the header and footer are not part of the active page when I am typing. This hyperlink is not clickable in Word without going into the header/footer view and I'm fine with that. The QAT workaround is just fine.

Bookmark tree structure using Microsoft word 2007 not creating properly

I have a word document file in MS office 2007. When i am converting the word document to a PDF file using the HEADING option , the bookmarks tree structure in the PDF file is not created properly. Means that the between content of a topic is also read
as a bookmark heading while conversion. Only the heading of a topic should be read as a bookmark and the sub heading as a sub-bookmark but the content should not come in the tree structure of bookmarks in a PDF file..
For Example:- if MICROSOFT is the heading of any xyz.doc then it should be the parent bookmark. . but in my case , MICROSOFT is coming as a bookmark but the content inside this is also created as a bookmark..
So my question is that what is the internal structure of the of the MS word 2007 to convert a doc to a PDF file???
Because it is not creating the bookmarks tree structure properly...and taking the content randomly from the middle of a topic and adding it in the bookmark tree structure...(which should not happen). The font throughout the doc is the same and aligned properly..so
why it is randomly taking the between text as a bookmark...???
what is the root cause of this bug..?? how can this problem be solved..?? is there any sort of change have to be done in my word doc.?
i need an urgent help regarding this...
NOTE:- I am using MS office 2007.

Italic headings when saving as PDF in Word 2007. Don't want italic headings...

I'm using the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin for Word 2007. After months of successful 'Save As - PDF or XML', my PDFs are suddenly displaying italic headings: h1, h2, h3, h4, etc. My Word source file has regular headings just as intended.
If I elect to print the doc - instead of Save As - and select Adobe PDF as the printer, the PDF is fine, no italic headings, but the reason we started using the Addin is because the conversion to PDF using print broke all of our hyperlinks.
Anyone have a clue why my headings are being converted to italic using the Acrobat Addin in Word 2007?
Any clue why using the print PDF would break our hyperlinks?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hello AbhigyanModi.
Thanks for the reply. I finally solved that problem I was having with all myheadings displaying in italics in the PDFs generated from Word 2007. It's related to Service Pack 3 on Windows XP.
Microsoft includes an update to the Arial Black font (v2.40) with SP3. This new font is the root of this particular problem. The fix is to delete the new font and replace it with the old font, which is saved in an uninstall backup file.
Go to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts and delete the Arial Black file: ariblk.ttf (v2.40).
Go to C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$, find ariblk.ttf (v2.35), and copy and paste it into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
It doesn't seem to affect everybody who uses XP SP3, but if they wake up one day with the problem where there had never been a problem before - like I did - that's the fix.
