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.

  • Keep getting failure msg saying can't convert file containing XFA forms. help

    I just purchased the adobe convert program to convert this one file I need now and it won't work!  it says it can't convert XFA forms. Help! How do I do this?

    You can't. What it says is true, and it doesn't really matter what an XFA form is except that you have one.
    But let's go back a step. Why do you need to convert? What is the problem you want to solve? XFA forms are designed to be filled in, printed, and have their fields exported - that's all, and all most people ever need too. Converting forms to other formats almost never solves the problem people think they have.

  • I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message indicates it contains XFA forms

    I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message that pdf files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

    Hi curtlea,
    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.

  • Why can't I export a PDF containing XFA forms to a word doc?

    I have an application that I'm trying to export to a word doc, so I can save the modifications that I make. I get an error message that states that "PDF's containing XFA forms cannot be saved to this format" Can someone tell me what this means?

    I just have the reader, but I do have the capability to export and convert PDF's to either word or excel. I just checked the posting and it has to be mailed. I was just trying to save my work, but being that I have to literally mail it USPS, I will  have to print it off anyway. Thanks for your help. I guess if I had read the posting a little closer, I could of saved us some typing.

  • Unable to convert pdf's with XFA forms

    Why can I not convert a PDF file with XFA forms to Word?

    XFA is its own little world, and very few tools will touch it. In any case, ExportPDF isn't for converting filled in forms, I think.

  • How to: Save many PDF files containing images as jpeg

    I have a whole lot of PDF files that only contain images. I need them to be in jpeg format however.
    To convert them I'd need to open all theses pdf files in Preview and then "save as" jpeg. This does the job wonderfully.
    But it only does so for one pdf/image at a time. There's no way I can do this for all the files.
    I need to preserve the pdf files' names, too, so I can't combine the files and insert them into one pdf. This would result in having jpegs all right, but with names that do not represent the original file names.
    How can I batch process this with Preview?
    I tried the Automator but haven't found any way of doing it there.
    Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish that?

    Hi PPAC,
    What version of Windows are you running? I found another thread about this particular issue, with two possible solutions. One is to make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and the other is to change the compatibility to earlier version of Windows. (Right-click the Acrobat application icon, choose Properties, and then choose compatibility.)
    I'm also curious what export settings you're choosing when you save as JPEG...
    Best,
    Sara

    Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
    I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

    How does your PL/SQL for the saving of uploaded files looks like? Where does this error happen? Does your process have an error message?

  • Failed to open the PDF file

    I have to place a large number of PDF files. Sometimes I get an error: "Failed to open the PDF file". In the InDesign Forum I found that this also happens in the GUI from time to time and that the workaround is to turn on the Show Import Options. But this is obviously not an option for me.
    Is there any alternative?
    Thank you, Ralf

    When you retry, is it always the same PDF?
    Otherwise I'd play around like
    - catch the error
    - perform some potential cleanup of resources (files, memory), e.g. SaveAs, or a Close-Reopen cycle
    - retry the same PDF

  • Visual Composer Export to Excel/PDF..

    Hello all,
    I have a question regarding using Visual Composer's Web API commands to export to excel/pdf etc. I've read the document "How to Export Data from Visual Composer" (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123 ) and applied the steps but that is helpful for an individual data service which I was successful in doing.  In my example, for one view, I have multiple Data services pointing to different reports and have charts/graphs/tables against them. I want to be able to print all the Charts/Graphs in the one view and not individually.
    Does anyone have any insight into this? If you need more information I am more then willing to explain.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
