Exporting Form to PDF, Lose Picture

Hello,
I have one picture (tried both JPEG and TIFF) imported into my form. It shows up nice in the FormsCentral program. However, when I save it as a PDF form, I lose the image.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can fix this? The image is our company logo, thus we would like it to appear on the form.
Thank you.

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????

Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

Error message when trying to save as PDF or to export form

I used Form Central and chose a template, and changed a few things. Now I couldn't save the document or export it, though I followed the other response to download and install the latest flash player (but the same Error message is there again when I tried saving again). Also, I couldn't share the form through emails, where's the sharing button?

OK – that helps a lot (knowing it is the desktop application with Acrobat XI).
A few questions:
Have you launched Acrobat XI and accepted the EULA etc? I assume your trial period is still valid?
Can you go to the “Help” menu and select “About FormsCentral” and tell me the “Build” number at the bottom?
Using the Acrobat XI FormsCentral Desktop application you can save forms as PDF with a paid or free account, so there is some other reason you are not able to save as PDF… I will try to figure out what is going on there…
The reason you don’t see the “Share” button (or menu item) is that you are working in a “local” form (I am assuming), a form stored locally in the desktop application that is available whether you have internet connection or not. In a Free account you can only have one form “online” but you can have unlimited “local” forms, so after you have one form online the rest are created locally in the application. In order to share the form (and many other options in the forms) you need to “move” the form online (but would need to delete any other online forms you have).
For more information about the desktop application there is an FAQ here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSfbd8801cd9e3b90466dec8cf13a00789d8f-8000. html
The FAQ does not have screenshots, but if you are looking at the “My Forms” tab (if you have a form open and close it you see the “My Forms” dashboard), local forms have a little computer icon next to them (left column) and online forms show a cloud icon. Read the “Move forms online” section of the FAQ for more information about the differences between the local and online forms.
Thanks,

Exporting one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field

Hello there.
I am currently creating a form in which I need to export one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field to avoid typing it again or hitting ctrl+c and then ctrl+v to the webpage, as there are several records that need to be copied and pasted.
I read that there is no access to the clipboard within pdf therefore, would like to know if there is any way to do that without accessing the clipboard.
I am a newbie and have been learning by searching the forums and Google, therefore, would appreciate any insight on whether or not this is possible using javascript or the "submit form" funcion.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi George, thanks for your response!
The main issue I have is that this web page is in fact a government page in which I have to manually copy and paste information.
I have no idea how to automate this process - I have access to the scripts on the page to see what I am able to do, but since I do not have much experience (only very basic javascripting), any other insight would be great!

Can't export form to fillable PDF or move to online!

I have been messing with Forms Central for the past two hours trying to get my form to export. After reading I assumed it was due to not having a paid version so I just subscribed for the Basic plan and I still can not export anything. The error message I am recieving is the most unhelpful error, "Acrobat.com encountered an unexpected error."
This occurs when I try to export as a PDF or when I try to move it online. I have tried running in Admin mode, updating flash but I am still having no luck! Please help.
EDIT: UGHH my email is my screen name.. Is it possible to change that as well? I don't want a flood of spam heading my way.

In that case I will need more information from you.
What is the version of your desktop version of FormsCentral?
Did you download FormsCentral or you are using the one that came with Acrobat?
After you signed in, did you get an update message? When did you do your last update?
If it is possible, would you mind give me your email address by sending a message to [email protected]?
Thanks

Export data on pdf-form to Excel

I would need help for exporting data from pdf-form to Execl spreadsheet
the basic idea is that a pdf-form would be the user interface to collect the data with text boxes / drop-downs (such as "Vendor", "Purchase order number", "Date", "Text" etc.) and after the data is filled on the pdf-form it would be easily exported (with button?) to one certain Excel -file.
The Excel-file should have similarly named colums and the data from pdf-form would be exported always to the next empty row.
PDF FORM
Excel -spreadsheet

Thanks but this is not quite what I was looking for
The idea was that the user would fill-in the data on the pdf -form and from there this data would be exported to one named Excel-file ( = data exported always to same Excel - file / to the next empty row)
So this Excel -file would act as a summary file / database from where the collected data could be easily sorted etc.
Another issue is that I'm looking for easy solution for the exporting fuction (e.g. button + java script) so that also the "dummy users" could operate this

Export/Convert Browser Based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Excel/Word

Hi,
Is there an OOB, way of converting browser based Infopath 2010 forms to PDF/Word/Excel.
In case there isnt, can anyone please point me to a coded or a programmatic way of implementing the same.
Soptik Dutta

Hi Soptik,
As far as I know, we can only save an InfoPath form as PDF/Excel using InfoPath Windows form application(rather than Broswer-based InfoPath).
In this case, we can
Open the library that save the forms
Selec the form that is wanted to be PDF/Excel(Just select it, don't open it)
Click the "inverse trangle", and then click "Edit in Microsoft InfoPath"
In InfoPath, click "File" > "Save & Send" to save the form as PDF/Excel
In this following thread, there are some code snippets, which will help you to export an form to PDF using custom code:

Exported form pdf boxes not big enough to see and edit in on

how do I set the .pdf exported form to be able to expand the entry box so entrants can see the whole thing they've typed, and so when they print it, it shows the whole box... right now to make the form look small, and not just have big empty boxes, the spaces look smaller but have unlimited entry characters... but you can't see what you're doing with such small boxes that don't expand...is there a setting i'm missing?

No, you are not missing anything. The PDF can't be relayed out to show all of the text in the boxes. Only workaround is to make the text boxes larger

I lose volume/quality when I export form garageband to itunes

I lose volume/quality when I export form garageband to itunes

It's been several months since I used Mac OSX Garageband but I used it a lot, I liked it very much *but* I too had this problem with losing volume/quality and it drove me to despair. A lot of my focus was devoted to trying to minimise loss of volume at every step. You'd think the magic of digital made this issue a thing of the past.
More recently I've been using iPad and so far, mainly because of the 'Merge' (bounce) facility this doesn't seem to be such a problem... Yet.
I believe however, you ought to have a look under preferences (I think there is preferences specific to GB and system preferences under Apple logo, you probably know that) there is an option that says something like Maximum Volume for exporting or something. This may seem counter intuitive but try unticking the box, if you haven't already. This should give you the option of increasing the volume but it may clip. That supposed max vol thing really means max vol without clipping... Sorry, this is long winded. Best of luck!

Failed export to Excel PDF files contain XFA forms cannot save in specified format

Has this excercise been a waste in time and money. Like my car I will put petrol oil water and air where they need to go but don't care how they make the car work as long as it goes

Converting forms to fill them in is never a good idea; if they are official forms it can be a catastrophe. Keep the forms as PDF, don't convert.
XFA forms are ALREADY FILLABLE. If you can't fill it there is a fault.

How do I get Forms Central pdf export to include header image?

I made it work once, but I can't seem to make my exported form retain the jpg image i placed in the header. Any ideas?

Display SMART form as PDF in WD ABAP

Hi ,
To display smart form as PDF , I am following the SDN article :

In my component , I have created the view VIEW_PDF, for this . I have created Adobe interactive UI element, and bind the property source to the attribute (XSTRING) where I will get PDF (after OTF conversion).
First of all I am using the FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and usingf the import parameter fm_name .
Then using this FM

IMPORTING
   JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            = lv_ssf_output.
from smart form ZVM_SFM_SUMMARY,I want to get the data in OTF format using the importing parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO of the above FM.
But I am not able to retrieve the data .Please direct me , where am I missing?
For converting it to PDF , I am using the FM CONVERT_OTF .

CS6: Exporting to Interactive PDF Freezes

Hi guys, I'm relatively new with InDesign and currently I'm having a problem with exporting to interactive pdf. My version is CS6 8.0.1
I'm drafting a booklet for a school and each page looks something like this:
The picture here shows page 28-29 (top) and 30-31 (bottom). Each of these are linked AI files. These AI files have linked jpegs or psd files in them, with types and basic vector objects.
Then I tried exporting to interactive pdf -->
however, InDesign keeps freezing around these page ranges:
I cannot click cancel nor anything except force quitting InDesign. Tried again, same thing happened. I thought maybe I was too hasty so I went to grab dinner which took about 30 minutes. Walked back into my room, InDesign never completed the export, so I force it to quit again.
After a few times, I'd thought the problem could be with the AI links in page range 30-31 where it keeps getting stuck. I experimented by deleting 4 linked AI files on top of page 30-31:
And now I can export to interactive PDF successfully. I opened up the pdf with Acrobat Reader and everything seems normal.
So I'd figure that there's a problem with one (or more) of the four removed linked AI files. But just to be sure, I tried exporting it again [i]without the 4 linked files[/i]. This time though, the same problem occured - InDesign freezes while exporting PDF and I can't do nothing but force quit the program.
I then tried exporting page 1-29 by itself (the range which seems to be fine) multiple times - no problem. I've exported page 1-29 five successive times in a roll with no problem.
Then I tried exporting page 30-35 (the rest of the book), then here's what confused me even more. I can export it successfully the first time. The second time though, InDesign freezes again.
I then tried exporting page 30-35 over and over to see get a feel of ratio between successful vs failure. The result is erratic. I failed once, then successfully exported page 30-35 three times in a roll. After getting three successful export, I tried exporting the whole book again - to my surprise, this time it went through. Checked the pdf with Acrobat Reader, everything looks fine. Then I tried exporting the whole book once more, and again, it's successul. However, the third time I tried exporting the whole book, the program freezes again.
Now I'm not even sure what to think. What is root of the problem? Is it InDesign itself, or is it the linked AI files toward the end of the book? To give you more information:
- the first 29 pages are not entirely consisted of linked AI files unlike page 30-35. Page 1-29 overall is lighter while Page 30-35 consists off linked AI files that take more space
- I've updated all the links. There's no links with triangle + exclamantion.
- I use iMac 10.8.5 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB
I can continue working for now since I've successfully exported a copy for my client, but it bounds to happen again. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Hi Ankit, thank you for your reply.
I've managed to update InDesign to 10.8.5 from 10.8.1
I downloaded the newest version of AAM, and after installing it, the updates under help menu in InDesign finally notified me that there were updates to be made.
Back on exporting to interactive pdf issue, still doesn't solve the problem.
If I export the whole document it keeps freezing; however, if I split by exporting page 28-31 (pages where it usually get stuck) by itself, then exporting the rest without page 28-31, then it works. I can get around it so it's not a big problem anymore, but I'd like to get answers to why InDesign would behave this way. Was the overall file too big so it froze? Would be nice if in the future I don't run into a similar problem - it takes time for me to export different sections of the book to avoid the program freezing, then it takes more time for me to merge two pdfs into one.
Here's what I've done so far:
- clear InDesign preferences
- disable Extensis plug-in
- migrate the pages to a new document
- update to newest InDesign version
- save as IDML then re-export
- package, then re-export
- first-aid on disk utility on my OSX (no problem found)
- delete all unused styles
- change all the embedded .ai files to .pdf (not editable)
If someone else has any idea, please advice. Thank you

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.
Please verify whether this reolves the problem for you.
