IHELP: Importing fdf file into a multi page pdf form

I have a 3 page pdf form that tabs have been set for each page and a dummy field set up at bottoms of page 2 and 1 that go to the next page.
I want to import data from the old form into the new forms via the fdf files but it is only importing the first page. How to get it to import all pages.
I am going into the old form and Form, Manage Forms, Export to fdf.
I open the new form and Form, Manage Forms, Import.
(The field names are not the same between the old form and the new. Do they need to be?)
version 8 Pro

The field names need to be the same. So you need fields with the same names, even if hidden, to import the data and then you need a way to update the different field values for the same logical fields but a different field name.

  • __Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)

    __Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)
    thanks

    Definitely can be done.
    In CS 4 you create an artboard for each page and the position the art for the corresponding page on the corresponding artboard and make a layer for that art. This way it does not even matter if the layer s are properly layered when saving the pdf. Just as long as the artboards are.
    CS 3 and earlier  back a larger document that can be divided into whole pages by turning on tiling and using the page tool position that art.
    Position the art for each page over the designated artboard make a layer for each pages art now when you export the with tiling on and you wll get a multi page pdf.

  • Is it possible to automatically convert a website into a multi-page pdf?

    I have a weblog that has reached the end of it's life, so the site is coming down. Before I do, however, I need to create a permanent record and a single multi-page pdf file would be perfect.
    I know I can do this with Acrobat Professional, but I am hoping there is an automatic way to export the html pages into a single pdf file without doing each page one-by-one manually.
    If anyone knows how to perform this task, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    What version of Acrobat do you have? In Acrobat 9 you'd select:
    File > Create PDF > From Web Page
    or
    Advanced > Web Capture > Create PDF From/Append Web Page
    There are various options that affect the result, including the number of levels to capture, page layout, how multimedia is handled, etc. Acrobat 11 is more advanced and will likely give the best results.

  • Importing eps files into keynote (or pages)

    hi,
    i'm running keynote 3 and used to have no trouble at all simply dragging (or importing) eps graphic files into keynote presentations. then for no apparent reason i lost the ability to do this and now when i try to import any eps files, keynote just hangs.
    can anyone help?

    njmitham,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    EPS files are converted to PDF when you drag them to keynote. The same happens when you open the EPS file with Preview.app.
    So, try to open the EPS file with Preview and see what happens. It might not be a Keynote problem but a problem with an image library.

  • Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form

    Hi  All
    Excellent forum, and thanks for all the revealing insights so far viewed, however one question.I'm using a PDF form to collect info via email in the format of XML datafiles. I also have an identical PDF which has database connectivity and that works fine. It was suggested on this forum that I could then import the XML data into my Database via the DB-connected PDF, in effect a user form and one with DB connectivity. Now, I've checked the data types and they all match, but when I import XML file, it creates a blank record in the database and none of the information is carried through. Please could someone offer guidance on what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to figure this out for a week now?
    Thanks
    Steppe

    Maybe it's because I'm replying by email, so I'll try the forums directly;

  • I receive this message when opening a multi-page PDF form:

    There was a problem reading this document (14)
    Is 14 an error code? If so, what is the error?

    If you have acrobat pro 8, you can add pages to an existing pdf. For the insert page type in *.ai then acrobat will see the ai files and load them.
    Its up to you if you want to delete the old page, before or after inserting the new page.

  • How do I get all pages of a multi-page PDF form to print in old versions of Reader?  Reader 11 prints all; Reader 10 skips first page

    I'm new to forms creation, so please excuse my ignorance. I've created a 9 page form in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and exported it as an interactive PDF. With Acrobat 10.1.10 I've checked that there is no security -- everything is allowed. None of the form fields is required.  I originally had some required fields but made them not required to see if my printing problem would go away.  I enabled the extension that allows versions of Reader before 11 to save data in the form. Page 1 has combo fields, radio buttons, a submit button, and text fields.  The rest of the form has radio buttons and text fields. Some of the people who've tried my form say they can print pages 2 through 9 but not page 1. One of them is known to be using Reader 10. I've tried printing my form with Reader 11 on Max OX 10.6.8 and Reader 11 on Windows 8.1 and seen no printing problems. What have I done wrong?  Is there something about the submit button on page 1 that makes older versions of Reader not willing to print that page?  There's nothing propriety or sensitive on the form so I'll leave it for a while in Dropbox in case someone is willing to inspect it.  It's at
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87784382/Savable_Local_Show_Report_2.pdf

    I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer.  The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem.  By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1.  The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto".  I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

  • Import XML into Single Page PDF Form - Form Repeats

    I have a created a PDF form in Acrobat, which is a single page that has about 16 text fields to be filled in. The data I am importing is in an XML format. I am able to import the data for a single page with no trouble. I would like to be able to import multiple pages of data and have the form repeat with the corresponding additional data.
    For example,
    - I have a "grid report" that is 3 rows and 16 columns. Each row of data represents a separate page. The data is converted to XML format and saved as a single file (see below sample).
    - I have a single page PDF Form with text 16 fields. The text fields correspond to the column data from the "grid report"
    - (Desired) After importing the XML data into the single page PDF form, I would like to have a file that has 3 pages. Each page is a replicate of the original form.
              - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 1 reflect the data from Row1 of the "grid report"
              - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 2 reflect the data from Row2 of the "grid report"
              - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 3 reflect the data from Row3 of the "grid report"
    I am not sure if I need to change the format of my XML, or if there is a way to add a tag of some kind at the end of the PDF From that indicates the (blank) form should repeat for each <Row> of data.
    I am open to other reporting/form applications, but I am having a hard time finding anything online that indicates this specific functionality. I would think that this is a pretty standard process, but I am having quite the time finding a solution. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

    I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
    I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
    I first followed the instructions provided here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
    When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
    I get to this menu:
    I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
    I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
    Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
    On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

  • Importing avi files into jsp pages

    hello all. im new to jsp and java. i would like to know how i could import .avi files from my MySQL database (where ive given paths for the avi files) into a jsp page. i am basically trying to make an application that allows users to select particular video files and play them. the user has the ability to upload and delete these videos

    newbie4337 wrote:
    im sorry i guess i didn't phrase that properly. i meant to say that i had saved the paths in the database If you have some saved URLs in the database (URLs to where these avi files can be found)
    you just need to retrieve the URLs and use them when generating links (<a href="..."></a>) in the html produced by your JSP.
    You have already given the paths in the html generated by your jsp? Paths as in URLs?
    Then you must already have a servlet deployed that accepts HTTP requests for .avi URLs and reads the relevant .avi from the database and serves back an avi stream with the right mime type (video/x-msvideo) in the headers...
    ([w3schools|http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp]).
    could you give me some more info on that?If the URLs are hosted somewhere else you do not need any of this.

  • How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

    Hi!
    We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

    I am also looking for feedback.  Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
    Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document.  Are there any options or work-arounds?

  • How do I import multi-page PDFs into an indesign document?

    Note:  When I search for answers to this question on the adobe site, i encounter a broken link.
    I need to insert several multi-page PDFs such that they become one document that I am able to appy consistent control over.  Should I be doing this in indesign?  What is the best way to do this?

    If you don't want to use them in InDesign for any other purpose than to assamble them in one new PDF I would rather use Adobe Acrobat Pro than InDesign.
    In Acrobat Pro: Create new Deocument > Form multiple Files, select further what you need.

  • Import multi-page PDF

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to import a multi-page PDF document into Pages? For example, I only need the 4th and 5th page in a PDF document, or I need all 20 pages, or....
    Seems like only the first page gets imported. It's incredible that inDesign and Quark (and PowerPoint?) have had this capability for years and years but it's left out of the Pages 09?!?!
    -j

    I only need the 4th and 5th page in a PDF document, or I need all 20 pages, or....
    The principle of the thing is that PDF is a page description model, that is, it is an object oriented and non-revisable format and not a revisable format such as DOC.
    In a revisable format such as DOC one can cut from the middle of page 19 to the middle of page 25 in one revisable file and paste that into the middle of page 3 in another revisable file.
    If a non-revisable object oriented format such as PDF is to be placed as a page object in a revisable format, then the revisable format has to have a way to deal with this.
    It does this by means of the box-geometry in the portable document format and different applications support different box-geometries - mediabox, artbox, cropbox and so forth.
    Part of the problem with this is that people tend to confuse a non-revisable page description with a revisable file format, and part of the problem is that when a non-revisable object oriented page description is to be placed in a revisable file format, the importing application has to arrive at an assumption about what to do, and it's easiest to do this page by page.
    Note that it is a known problem that if a PDF which is searchable is placed into a revisable file and that revisable file is saved out as a PDF with the first PDF nested inside, the first PDF may be partly or wholly unsearchable. In other words, Unicode imaging may not work, or may not work well.

    In addition to abobe answers,
    Keep this .tpz file at below mentioned location
    \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import\XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_09_00.tpz
    then login to the IR and peoceed as Tools -
    > import design objects. Her you will get this .tpz file, just import it.
    follow the steps given in this link and check if you are doing the correct thing.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/93/a3a74046033913e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ef/a21e3e0987760be10000000a114084/content.htm
    The steps that you require are listed below,
    1) You must have the role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR or SAP_XI_CONTENT_ORGANIZER to be able to export and import XI content.
    2)You import the XI content by first copying the provided export files into an import directory on the host of the Integration Builder and then importing the files into the Integration Repository.
    3)Copy the export files into the import directory for the Integration Repository (<systemDir>\xi\repository_server\import).If the files are packed, you must unpack them before importing.The actual export files have the extension .tpz. You must not unpack these files.
    4)The import directory is created the first time you call the Integration Builder.
    5)Start the Integration Builder and call the Integration Repository.
    To do this, perform the following steps:
    a. Log on to the SAP system on which your Integration Builder has been installed.
    b. Open the Integration Builder start page by calling it either from your user menu or with Transaction SXMB_IFR.
    c. Choose Integration Repository.
    Choose Tools u00AE Import design objects to import the XI content.
    6)Only the files from the import directory are offered to be imported. The sequence in which
    you import the export files is not important.
    7)After a successful import, the Integration Builder moves the imported TPZ files into the directory <systemDir>/xi/repository_server/importedFiles. The support package stack of imported software component versions is displayed on the Details tab page for the relevant software component version in the Integration Builder. If an error occurs, this information is important for support.
    Hope i have been of some help.

  • Can no longer import Word files into InDesign

    Hello,
    For many months I have been importing Word files into InDesign CS3 (Mac OSX 10.4.11) with no trouble, but I started having a problem yesterday.
    When importing a 17-page Word file with 16 footnotes, I got none of the text and only the footnote numbers. This is what I get in InDesign:
    12345678910111213141516
    (Endnotes)

    These are the things I've tried already: restarting, deleting preferences, changing the import options, using CS2, importing someone else's Word file, importing a Word file that I imported successfully a couple of months ago. None of this works.
    It has been suggested that I save the Word file as rtf, but since I have 200 files to import and I'm using Word's character styles for italics, bold, small caps, etc., I'd rather try to fix this problem.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks,
    Tina

    I am using indesign CS2 and i'm trying to import a Word document into a new chapter for a book i'm laying out. it's about 30 pages, but there are at least 80 foot notes. i'm able to get about 1/2 of the document with the footnotes to flow correctly, then EVERYTHING disappears. the only way i've been able to get the remaining text to appear is by adding characters to the text. i'll hit "vvvvvvvvvvvv" a bunch of times and "magically" a little chunk of text and it's footnotes appears. then the ole disappearing act happens. so i do it again. i'm able to get all the text to appear finally, but when i delete the "vvvvvvvvvv" from the places i inserted them, the text disappears again. i have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. any ideas?
    thanks so much,
