Import Word 2007 Form check boxes undefined

Any one have any idea on how to get the forms wizard to import the field property names for check boxes in an Adobe form?
I have a Word 2007 form which I have tried saving as a .doc, .dot, dotm, .docx and no matter what format I choose, I cannot get the check box fields to import. I used the legacy checkbox field under the developer ribbon in Word 2007 to create the check boxes. I have tried to import with protection on the word form enabled and stopped but it doesn't make a difference. The check box fields come across fine but the name and the text fields both say undefined rather then display the field name given in Word. I am using Adobe 9 pro. I have checked my Adobe preferences in Word and made sure all the boxes were checked for converting bookmarks but it still did not make a difference. The text fields are importing fine with the property field names.
Here is an example:
I have a yes check box that is labeled StorageY and a no checkbox labeled StorageN for the properties in Word. I then went to the form wizard in Adobe 9 and selected start with existing form and selected the fillable word form I created with the check boxes. I imported it and the check box properties say Undefined for both storageY and storageN. There are about 60 check boxes in the document and I don't want to retype them every time in Adobe when the word form is updated and has to be conveted again.
I sure hope there is a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information but I respectfully disagree with "there is no import". If you open Adobe Acrobat
9 pro and go to Forms, Start Forms Wizard, select An Existing electronic document and click on Next. Select "import" a file from file system and browse for the word document and click on Next.
Using this method not only runs the automatic field recognition you were referring to, it also brings in all the word form field text and formats with the exception of the check boxes. My only guess is the problem has something to do specifically with the check box fields as it does bring over the radio button text. A lot less work to keep the form updated. It rocks. You should try it some time.
Word 2007 pdf writer does the same thing as the openoffice.org but neither bring across the form field info. They just create a starting point and you would have to use the method you described above to create the fillable form.

Could not convert Word 2007 form

I'm running Acrobat 11 (up to date). When I try and convert a Word 2007 form to an Acrobat form, I get the message: Acrobat could not create new PDF form"

The Word conversion to PDF and Forms Wizard do not detect and do not know how to complete a drop down box. I do not even create the form fields in Word as there is no transfer to the PDF. I also find the Wizard lacking in proper naming and grouping. It is just easier and more efficient to add the fields manually or with JavaScript tools.
The only product that can do this is apache OpenOffice when an author creates the from body and form fields in the Writer application and then exports to a PDF.

Since the checkboxes all have the same name, the values are over-writing each other when being passed to the PHP script. The best way to fix that is to add a pair of empty square [] brackets after the checkbox names, so make the names "graphics[]" instead of "graphics". That tells PHP that the values are being passed as a list (an array) instead of a single value. As long as your processing script knows what to do from there (and it does), should solve the problem.
By the way, I noticed that two of the checkboxes were named "graphics" and the other was "graphic" (singular). You'll want to fix that too so they're all the same.

BC Web Form check boxes running into text

How to fix alignment of BC web form.
check boxes running into text.
see screen shot

Anything that looks bad on a website can be fixed by CSS? The best bet for you is to edit the markup of that form with the checkboxes and add a class to those checkbox input elements... for instance a class of "form-checkbox" and then in your CSS file, include this CSS code:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 5px; }
or even:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 1em; }
That will put a margin to the right of your checkbox input elements either 5px wide or 1em wide (which is essentially one length of your font size).
If you don't know how to add/edit html markup to your form then you could try adding this CSS to your CSS file:
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 5px; }
or
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 1em; }
if you want to use EMs instead of pixels. I would highly recommend learning a bit more about CSS and HTML because it would save you time posting to these forums for these simple fixes. CSS styles your webpage's content and every web designer should know CSS and fix this issue pretty quickly. Muse is a good tool but unfortunately it doesn't teach you the underpinnings of the web which you'll need if you want to do any sort of customization outside of what Muse or other WYSIWYG tools.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

PDF'd Fillable Form / Checked Boxes do not Appear in E-Mail

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows XP, Word 2003
I made a doc in Word, created a form, added check boxes, all good. I fill out the form as needed, check specific boxes as needed, and submit via email to vendors to place orders.
Everyone gets the check boxes themselves, but several have said that none of the boxes are physically checked (X). All other entered info is present.
Thanks for any help.
KE

I'm sorry. I made the Word doc, then used Adobe Pro to convert the Word doc into a fillable form. Using Designer I added the check boxes. Saved and closed.
I open the form, fill it out, select certain check boxes, and email. The selected check boxes do not appear on some computers.

Convert Word 2007 Form to PDF Form not creating dropdown list fields

I created a new word document with all my text fields with lines and 5 dropdown list fields with all their values. Works great in Word 2007. When I convert it to a pdf form (Acrobat Pro X) none of the dropdown list fields get created. The text fields do, but no drop downs. If I have to create them all manually in Acrobat, what's the point of doing all the work in Word?

The Word conversion to PDF and Forms Wizard do not detect and do not know how to complete a drop down box. I do not even create the form fields in Word as there is no transfer to the PDF. I also find the Wizard lacking in proper naming and grouping. It is just easier and more efficient to add the fields manually or with JavaScript tools.

MS Word 2007 form fill in

I have a document in MS Word 2007 that is a fillable form. I want to save it to Adobe Pro and retain the form fill in capabilities. I just downloaded ADOBE Premier Pro. I would like instructions on how to do this. Thanks.

I moved this thread to the Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum.
Depending on how the word document is formated I believe Adobe Acrobat Professional maybe able to detect it as a form. You can try the trial at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en. For more information on Adobe Acrobat Professional please see https://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.

Smart Forms - Check box

hi all,
In smartforms we display the check box by using sap symbols. I dont know how to activate the checkbox through smart form itself or se 38 prgm itself. Pl guide me.
Regards:
Manoj

Hello Manoj,
This is what happens if you do not give the complete scenario.
If you are using a SF. Create an alternative node:
1. If true, call the text having symbol <697>
2. If false, call the text with symbol <727>.
I hope you know the condition based on which the checkbox has to be displayed.
BR,

Importing Word 2007 documents: linked images getting duplicated!

If I import a Word 2007 document (.docx) to a page in
Dreamweaver CS4, either by File-> import or drag and drop,
images (in the /web_images folder) for which I have already
inserted hyperlinks in the Word document, are getting duplicated
and the link in the Dreamweaver page now points to the new,
duplicate, image, not the original. For example, an image, say
bike.jpg gets copied to bike_000.jpg and the web page link points
to /web_images/bike000.jpg.
This is not only clumsy, it is asking for trouble if for any
reason an image needs to be updated or whatever somewhere down the
road.
I have tried importing with both full and just basic
formatting, but the result is the same. I haven't found anything in
Dreamweaver preferences about this.
Any ideas?

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.
Cheers... Rick

Word 2007 Spell check failure.

Hi, I'm having trouble with getting the spellcheck to work in word 2007.
All the settings are, indeed, correct. Everything is ticked like it should be for the spell check to work.
I've tried using it with different users and even in local administrator and I couldn't get it to work.
So I stayed in local admin and went to add remove programs and COULDN'T FIND OFFICE 07 IN THE LIST!
So I installed it and presto, after opening up a word document it worked beautifully.
BUT, As soon as I logged in the user that was experiencing the difficulty I had her open a word document and spellcheck ceased to function again.
I'm guessing this is not an issue with office 07 and more of an issue with either registry or maybe even the global profile.
Any input would be greatly appreciatted.
I am running out of ideas FAST.
Maybe even a nudge in the right direction would get me going.
One things for sure. I need help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please try these steps:
1.       Go to: Word Options > Add-ins, click the drop down arrow next to Manage and select disabled items and check if there is any file listed over there with the name of spell or en-us. If yes, then enable it and check if the spell checker works fine or not?
2.       Also go to registry editor, and go to this location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools
And rename “Proofing Tools” to “Old Proofing Tools”
Close the registry editor and try to use the spell checker once again.
3.       If you are still facing the issue then try to repair office by going into control panel & then add/remove programs, click on Microsoft office and then click on change

Fillable form check boxes won't check

Hi there,
I've just created a fillable form with check boxes. They worked fine to start with but when you close the document and reopen it, you can click the boxes but they just flash and don't fill in. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Many thanks

Brio,
Are you using Adobe Acrobat to add form fields to a PDF? Or are you using some other tool to create the fillable form?

How do I import Word 2007 Template (.dotx) into Pages '09?

How do I import a Word 2007 template? Is there a one step solution, or do I just need to open the template file and re-save it as a Pages template?

fruhalda,
What is the problem with opening your Word template in Pages and then save it as a Pages template. It is as direct as can be in my view. Remember it is two different applications here.
None, really, just ignorance on my part. It's the first version of iWork that I buy--and my first iMac, too--and I was expecting "Word-like" behavior, which I shouldn't. The applications target a different market segment--after using Word for 15 years Pages is a welcome improvement in usability for everyday documents. We'll see how it holds its ground to larger documents.
I'm glad that, paraphrasing Einstein, I think, it is "as compatible to Word as possible," but no more than only the necessary to import documents.
I may be getting Office 2008 to work around these incompatibilities while I get used to iWork--and there are some features that are simply not there. At least in the trial version I could verify that they have preserved the Windows shortcuts, which has allowed me to move on faster.
Kind regards,
--Javier

Creating a fillable PDF form, check box entries do not print

Hello.
I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro for Adobe Reader users to enter information, with an option to print after the form is completed. I've added check box fields for users to indicate various options. However, when checked, these fields do not print.
In the properties dialog, the field is visible - so theoretically it should print. All other form fields added to the document print, except for check boxes.
Could this be a font issue? I notice that Adobe Pi font is used for check boxes, however, Zapf Dingbats is being substituted (I can see this in the Document Properties/Fonts dialog).
Thanks for your help.
Shannan

Thank you so much for the quick response. This will be a huge help! I hate to be a bother, but can you tell me the steps to create the script or give me a reference/resouce to use? I have used adobe products quite a bit, but this is my first time creating a PDF Fillable Form that will be distributed for use by several people so I am a little lost.
Also, I seem to be running into one more problem that I am hoping you can help me figure out. On the form there is a question for the recipient to answer by checking one of two boxes, yes or no. Depending on the answer an action is initiated. This feature works perfectly, however the issue is that when the recipient choses "yes" he/she is directed to fill out four additional fields that I currently have set as "required", but when the recipient choses "No" the four additional fields are hidden yet still required. This becomes an issue when the recipient has completed the form and tries to submit the form. An error message pops up notifying the user there are required fields that are empty and must be completed before submission.
My thought is (in a perfect world) one of these two options would be ideal:
1. When the "No" option is chosen the four additional fields are changed from required to not required, or
2. When the "No" option is chose the four additional required fields are autopopulated with NA.
Either remedy would work just fine, however I am open to suggestions... Again thank you so much for your help with my previous question and thank you in advance for any information/help/advice you can provide in regards to my second question.
