Import / Export of form datas

hello,
since a couple of days I am working with lifecycle. I have a problem: I have created a form (dynamic xml) including buttons for import and export [javascript: xfa.host.exportData();]. I have tried with reader extension and certification and without, but I cannot export/import datas using the adobe reader.
May somebody can help?. Thanks a lot.
Regards, Ralf

Hi Ralf,
To import and export form data you must also certify your form with a trusted user.
In case of further help and consultancy, you can mail me directly.

Is there a way to export the form data directly in mysql or using php

Hi,
I am using Acrobat XI to collect form data and export it as csv/ xml, then I need to import it manually to mysql. Just wondering if there is any way to automate this process so I can just select/ upload the form file and data can be imported to mysql database. I know some php also and tried finding any script but not yet found. So if there is any php script to extract the data from filled form that would also work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Exporting pdf form data to a web server via Submit Button

Hi
I am working on a project where a pdf form is dynamically filled by user information. So, when the user click Print Application on the web, it will create a pdf with form data and download to the user computer.
After that, users will have to add more data (since not all user data is captured). Then, after that I'll want user to hit the Submit button so that the filled pdf form is exported as an xml file to a folder on the web server.
I've been looking at the forum. There is a solution where I add a submit button on the form and add a submit form action with the link to localhost since I'm trying to test it out on my local server. But I keep getting the security certificate exception. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.0. , Max OS x and Firefox. My question is that is there a way for user to just click submit button and the pdf is exported as xml to the server? Does it require additional scripting language?

HI again,
I want to have a pdf fillable form opened on a link.Once user has entered data, the user clicks a button(or some action to invoke saving). At this point I want the filled pdf file to be saved on a certain directory.
How can save a filled pdf form in pdf format on a certain directory?
Is it possible to dynamically give the final pdf a name so that it doesnt overwrite everytime it saves the file?

Export the Form Data to Excel File using FILE EXPORT

The movement I click FILE > EXPORT...a flash screen appears and disapperas...nothing will be exported...
What Might be the problem...
How can I solve this...
My FND_LOBS_CTX index is fine..it is valid and

- Check the security level of the "Trusted sites" zone, make sure it is set to "Low"
- Make sure you do not have a yellow warning bar
- Make sure you are not accessing the application through dev60cgi/f60cgi
- Verify that you have sufficient space in the tablespace (Check init<SID>.ora for any errors)
- Check the export on some other modules to determine whether the issue is across all Apps or with a specific module only

Whenever I try to export my form data into a csv it is not formatted correctly

Whenever I try to export my data into a CSV and open it in notepad it does not place each row on a seperate line. Is there any way to insert a return at the end of the form or data so that each row is on a seperate line?

FormsCentral produces CVS files that use CR (Carriage Return) as the row delimiter. NotePad requires CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed). If you use a different text editor (WordPad, NotePad++) you will find each record on its own line (assuming you do not have word wrap enabled).

Questions on Subviews and Import/Export in Data Modeler v3 EA1.

I have a few questions about the capabilities of Data Modeler v3 EA1:
1) Is it possible to rename subviews? Would like more meaningful names then Relational_x - Subview_x.
2) Is it possible to save documents at subview level?
3) Is it possible to import/export subsets of data?
4) Having problems importing Erwin 7 .xml file, is there known problems with this import?
Judy

Hi Judy,
1) To rename a subview just right click on it in the browser tree and select "Properties". In the properties dialog change the name and click OK button.
2) You can save a subview as new Data Modeler design - from the File menu select Export -> To Data Modeling Design. In the newly opened dialog select the subview you want to export and click OK button.
3) After saving a subview as new design (see answer #2) it can be imported in some other design (File -> Import -> Data Modeler Design).
4) What kind of problems do you have with import of Erwin 7.* xml file?

Ivan

Exporting new form responses to existing master Excel sheet?

Hello,
As we receive responses to our .pdf form each day, we would like to export the responses to a running master Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to export the form data from new .pdf responses without having to over-write the master Excel sheet?
The master Excel sheet data will be connected to a series of pivot tables which we'd like to refresh once we import new data.
I greatly appreciate your help. Thanks kindly.

Hi,
Not in front of the system at the moment, but when you click on Local File, there is an option called Unformatted if i am right (the first one) select that & then save it in .txt format & later open in Excel, it should maintain the formatting.
Check & revert if it solves the issue.

Import/export synchronization mappings

Hi everyone,
is it possible to import/export mapping in data synchronizations? I'm going to implement a huge amount of mapping rules and I thing there might be a way how to do it more quickly than clicking every rule manually...
Thanks for every answer!

I think that I don't understand the basic FDM principles yet. :(
I have this input file:
(source account, company, amount)
X,A,100
X,B,200
Y,A,300
Y,B,400
Y,C,500
Z,B,600
And these shall be the rules:
if account = X and company = A then use target account 112100 (and use company A)
if account = X and company = B then use target account 112200 (and use company B)
if account = Y then use target account 112300 (indepentently of company)
if account = Z and company = A then use target account 112200 (and company A)
if account = Z and company = B then use target account 112300 (and company A)
Can you please help me how to set up the mappings? Maybe some abstract description will be enough for me.

Merge Form Data to Spreadsheet Problem

I have always been able to export Livecycle form data to a spreadsheet using Acrobat. Now that my version has been updated from version 10.0.0 to 10.1.9, when i export the data, I get a column of gliberish instead of the form data. I tried another employees computer that has not been updated to 10.1.9 and is still at 10.0.0 and the same files exported correctly. The Acrobat update stopped this process from working and they do not leave any method for me to back up to the previous version. Has anyone lse experinced same problem? Is there a fix or workaround for this?

I cannot tell, because I don't have DAQ installed, but how big is the 2D array inside the inner loop? Do you ever start a new file or are you appending forever? Place an indicator in the 2D array to see what's written.
Some other things that caught my eye:
A value(sgnl) property makes no sense if you don't have event structures. Use a local variable.
It is confusing to place the clearing of the chart history on the right side. It is more convenient to place this on the left side of the main code. I either case, it will happen at the start of the program because there is no data dependency.
Instead of a combo box and scanning operation inside the inner loop (DAQ rate) use a ring, it will output the correct value directly if so configured.
All these properties in the inner loop only need to get written when the controls change, not with every iteration of the loop.
I am sure you are aware that you are not really writing any excel file, right?

Import/Export xml data from subtree of dynamic XFA form

Hi
We would like to import/export xml data (subtree) of a dynamic xfa form. The following script does only work with static AcroForms:
formular.content.subformDaten.Button1[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
event.target.exportAsXFDF({aFields:["formular[0].content[0].subformDaten[0]"]});
With dynamic forms the script does export an empty xml file (no data is included, only xml root tag):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"
><f href="ExportTest_frei.pdf"
/><ids original="EA43F92A6B6EA34F9C4DBBC2DA0B1840" modified="6A7C6282A167594F91240B773AA979A7"
/></xfdf
>
Any ideas? Many thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Paul
The Problem that Daniel posted was originally mine. Now after subscribing to this forum myself, I try to describe the aim of using exportAsXFDF/importAnXFDF.
exportData("", false) and exportXFAData works, in my opinion, only with a DataConnection. In my form I have indeed such a connection for sending the whole form. But in addition I need the possibility to export and import only part of the data without overwriting the rest of the filled form.
exportAsXFDF works with static forms. So there MUST be a possibility that works with dynamic forms, right?
I hope anyone has a solution.

Import/Export Data Forms in SmartView 11.1.2

Hi,
Can we Import and Export Planning Data Forms using Smartview in 11.1.2? I know there is Offline Data Form, but is there an option of Exporting and Importing planning Data Forms using Smart View in 11.1.2?
Regards,

No, I don't believe you can import/export forms using SmartView.
However LCM is available and is pretty painless:

XML Multiple Data Export/Import into New Form

Is it possible to import an XML file with multiple form data (exported via "Merge data files into spreadsheet" option, then saved as XML) into a "template" form and create individual forms from the multiple data sheet? In other words, I've merged 65 forms' data into an XML file. Now I'd like to import it all back into an updated form.
What I've been doing now is exporting the XML data individually for each form and importing each form individually into the new form.
One option is to extend rights to the user to import nd export themselves, but I'm still looking into the Formrouter service, which, if implemented, won't be for a while.
Any solutions to this painful process?
Thanks - Derek
I just realized this may be a question for a different forum...Acrobat... My apologies.

Hi Derek,
Without the LC Enterprise server product(s) I don't think you will be able to achieve this. Acrobat.com give a mechanism of distributing the form, I am fairly sure it will allow you to view the responses in a new form.
Also applying reader extensions to the form with Acrobat will not help, as this removes the ability of importing/exporting XML. See https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg. If you are extending rights with LC Reader Extensions ES then this restriction should not apply.
If you have the 65 XML responses, I would be inclined to bite the bullet and manually import the XML into the new form.
Good luck,
Niall

Adobe X pro, export forms data to fdf, then import into new form using automation?

Is there a faster way to export 13 page forms pdf data out to fdf and then import I back into a new pdf form. There are a total of 167 pdf files with total of 130 some field on each form. The fields are all the same in each document. I want to make a macro or script to automate this process. I don’t want to to open all 167 files then export them one at a time. then creat167 new files and import all that data back in. Also each file is the name of the person who filled it out. I could automate the copying of the new 2012 pdf to make 167 new ones each with their name using VBA. But if that could be automated in adobe great.
We have to make new admission forms for next year. Currently all the dates and fees are this year. So I had to update all the pages in Publisher and reprint them to pdf. We are sending the forms back to people with the data already entered since 95% of it did not change. This helps save them time in having to re-fill out the entire form again.
Or any other suggestions
TIA

try67, I do have Pro as stated in the title “Adobe X pro, …”
George,
the position of the forms fields is exactly the same. But now that I think of it the data in the pdf’s is slightly older than the exported info in Access as I explain further below.
George, I can create 167 files in an instant using VBA, I in fact have all the names in Access and did this already.
I also forgot, I have all the data from all the forms in Access now. So it would be better to use that since it is more up to date than the pdf forms. Any email and phone number changes were changed in Access. I clicked Manage Form data/ export to txt in Adobe and imported that into Access with a VBA and a macro.
So I really just need to open each particular file and import the data into it.
So can I call the whole process from VBA? Using a Active-X reference in VBA to get to control Adobe?
I write VBA in my sleep so if it can be done there, Fantastic.
