Is it possible to export data from a PDF in Reader XI into an xfdf file?

Hello,
I am new to the forum and to Adobe Acrobat. Please bear with me as I explain what I need to do and what I have tried to do so far to accomplish this (based on reading numerous forum discussions and Adobe IAC/JavaScript manuals).
Operating system, Adobe and Microsoft products on my standalone PC:
     OS: Windows 7 Professional
     Adobe: Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
                   IAC Software (free download)
                   Adobe Reader XI
    Microsoft: VisualStudio 2010 (VB.NET and C#.NET)
I need to export the data from a fillable PDF in Acrobat Reader XI into an .xfdf file that will allow me to pull the field data out of the .xfdf (xml-type) file and use it in a C# program. I tried using exportXFDF as a trusted function not knowing initially that Acrobat Reader XI will allow you to import, but not export. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Using the IAC I was able to write a program that allowed my to save the data in a fillable PDF in Acrobat to an xml-type file; however, that only worked when my executable was running on a PC that had Acrobat installed (not Acrobat Reader). I need to be able to do this out of Acrobat Reader XI, and we do not want to use Adobe LiveCycle to do this.
I feel like there is something very obvious that I am missing here.

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

Extended Analytics - Is it possible to extract data from HFM to MS Access through an UDL (OBDC) file?

Hello,
I am trying to extract data from HFM, using Extended Analytics, to MS Access through an UDL (OBDC) file but it displays the following error:
"error occurred while connecting to the database"
I've followed these steps:
1. Create a blank MS Access database (.mdb format)
2. Create an .UDL file which connects to MS Access database:
      - Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
      - Connection: Linked to the .mdb database created in step 1.
      - Give "ReadWrite" permissions.
3. Test .UDL file connection successfully.
4. Create DNS with Extended Analytics DNS Configuration tool.
5. In Extended Analytics (HFM), once selected the new DNS and extract it displays the error commented before.
¿Do you know how i can solve this issue?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,

Automatically export data from a pdf, then automatically populate other forms with that data?

I'm building a form which will hopefully cut down on the user being required to redundantly fill in the same information on different forms. By filling out one form, I want to be able to have the user submit that form (or more succinctly, the xml data) to a website/server where the data will be automatically parsed to all the forms under the umbrella of the main form. Then, the separate forms would be emailed back to the user.
Any thoughts on how that works would be appreciated. Also, even a discussion of other workflows would be appreciated, as I'm not even sure my process is the easiest/best.
Thanks,
Graham

This will work if all of the forms use the same schema definition. The issue is that once you import the data file you are bound to that data structure. As you have said that they are different forms then they have to follow the same schema definition.
Another approach woudl be to get the information into the form using a Web Service call. This technique uses a different set of bindings for the web service than the data bindings so they remain unaffected. This does mean that the form must be Reader Extended using LiveCycle server to allow Reader users to make the Web Service call. Note that if they are Acrobat Pro users then this restriction does not apply.
Make sense?

Extract data from Oracle Database and store it into a CSV file format

Hello.
I'm trying to export a table from an Oracle Database into CSV file format with any Oracle adaptor and store it into a HDFS system.
How could I do it?

Export data from a table to text file using srcipt task

Hi
i am new to SSIS
i have to export data from a table and append it into a existing file through SSIS script task
please help
Thanks
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
The data structure of the source table and the structure of the destination file are the same, right? Is the destination file a flat file? Do you have to do it through Script Task? If the destination file is a flat file, this can be done easily by using
the stock tasks/components other than .NET code. In the Data Flow Task, we choose the appropriate source adapter (such as OLE DB Source or ADO.NET Source) to extract data from the source table, perform transformation if necessary, and then load to the destination
file via a Flat File Destination. When setting up the Flat File Destination, uncheck the “Overwrite data in the file” option so that the extracted data will be appended to the existing file.
If you need to implement it through Script Task/Component indeed, you may benefit from the following code examples:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8467326/add-header-and-footer-row-flat-file-ssis
If you need further help about the script, I suggest that you ask a new question in .NET forums where you can get more dedicated support:

Issue to export data from sql to excel

I have MS SQL 2008 Developer version and visual studio 2008. I'm using SSIS Import and Export Wizard on the VS2008 to create a simple package to export data from a table using a sql query to excel file (.xlsx), but I got the following
error messages:
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - Query" (37) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
The SQL query is
SELECT [BusinessEntityID]
      ,[PersonType]
      ,[NameStyle]
      ,[Title]
      ,[FirstName]
      ,[MiddleName]
      ,[LastName]
FROM [AdventureWorks2008].[Person].[Person]
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
A Fan of SSIS, SSRS and SSAS

Or another way is to save the package created by Export Import wizard, open it in BIDS and add a Derived column task before the Excel destination to do explicit casting of the columns to your required unicode datatypes.

I want to extract data from a PDF using Java

I would prefer to extract data from a PDF and convert it to XML. Is there an API that will convert a PDF to some Adobe format XML? Ideally I would like to add some JAR files to my classpath, similar to PDFBox. I don't want to install a bunch of server side componets or anything like that.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!
If I installed the server side components, how would a Java client invoke a service to export data from a PDF? RMI, Web Services?

Export data from database table before database migration

Hello,
We are planning to migrate our SAP ERP 6 Ehp4/NW7.01 from Oracle 11.2 to IBM DB2 v. 9.7 database. During test migrations I have established that we spend a lot of time for one particular table (COEP). Because we donu2019t have possibility to archive this table before migration I have an idea to export data from previous years from this table to the file system (using an ABAP report), delete those data from table before migration and then after migration, import back to the database from the file system.
Does anybody have any concerns or suggestions about this idea?
Thank you for your answers
Andrej

Hello Andrej,
I strongly do not recommend to do so.
I am not sure whether technically this could work at all..
Even it if would work .. In order to really save time, the export and the import would have to be a dirty one (meaning the system is operational and in production). With this there is a high risk to produce inconsistencies on this table. And you most likely will receive no support if something unforeseen happens and you end with problems.
Also your approach (if it should work at all) , would have to be tested thoroughly by you , also protecting the table from any changes.
I do not believe that this can save any effort compared to implementing advanced migration techniques like table splitting.
On top, you would go high risk to end with an unsupported system, with not using official migration procedures

Hello,
Is it possible that the entity that you are loading to in Enterprise is locked? It appears that it may be per the below error. You can only load to unlocked intersections, so I would start by checking the catagory and entity combination for being locked.

Exporting Data from WebDynpro to a Word-file

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to export data from a WebDynpro to a MS Word-file. I have already a template of the word-document, so the data should be transfered to a specific area of the file.
I already checked the Jakarta project, but the Word sub-project seems not mature yet. I also read about the possibility to do this using XML. But because I'm not familiar with XML, I don't know if it is possible to fill an already existing file. Are there some free APIs which can be used for this purpose?
Thanks for any hint!

Export data from ABAP report to SAP BW system

Hi Everyone,
I have requirement to export data from the R/3 system from a ABAP report to BW system.
Currently we are planning to create a Ztable to put the data into that, but I would like to know , is there a better way to do instead of going for a Ztable.
Regards,
Shobana.K

Hi Shobana,
is possible define a data-source in RSO2 with Function module as source.
In this function module you define a table. During the loading data in BW from this datasource the system execute this function module and transfer the line of that table.
In the function module you can repeat the code of the abap program.
You can see the function module example (RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE).
Regards.

Question on Exporting Data from Virtualbench.

Hello,
I'm new to the forums and VirtualBench, and was hoping someone might be able to help.
When I export data from the VirtualBench, I get 4 columns of data for the 2 channels. They are "1Min", "1Max", "2Min", "2Max".
Example:
Timestamps (ns)
1 Min
1 Max
2 Min
2 Max
-3000600000
-0.205761317
0.12345679
-0.013168724
-0.001646091
-2990598000
-0.205761317
0.12345679
-0.013168724
-0.003292181
-2980596000
-0.205761317
0.12345679
-0.013168724
-0.003292181
-2970594000
-0.205761317
0.12345679
-0.013168724
-0.001646091
I don't understand what the min/max refers to. I do not have any averaging on. Does VirtualBench actually take multiple samples at each point?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That depends on your input signal. For example, if you had a single, large glitch during a sample period, an average may not be a very accuracte representation of the signal. However, if the signal was relatively stable over the sample period, an average might be a good representation of the signal.
In peak detect mode, the scope oversamples at 250MS/s and saves the min and the max of each sample period. So for example, if the scope is sampling at 10MS/s and is in peak detect mode, it saves the min and the max of every 25 points that are oversampled at 250MS/s, or in other words the input is sampled every 4 ns, and the scope saves the min and max of the input over each 100 ns period. This mode is useful if you would like to be able to acquire for a long time, but still have a good chance of seeing glitches in your signal.
In sample mode, the scope saves every sample it acquires. If it's configured to sample at 250MS/s, it saves the state of the input every 4 ns. If it's configured to acquire at 10MS/s, if saves the state of the input every 100 ns. To get the most accurate representation of the waveform, use sample mode and acquire as fast as possible (zoom in to the smallest time per division in the app possible for your signal).

Can not export data from form tracker

Hi there,
I have set up a lovely form for collecting data. It all comes into the Adobe Tracker and the Responses file fine.
What i wish to do is export data from the responses file into another format. I should be able to do it from the Export button on the left but it is 'blanked out' and does nothing if I push it. I can't find any details on here or the internet relating to this. And yes, there is data in the file to export .
Hoping you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but... I created two forms for two separate purposes and have had responses to both.
One of them allows me to export the data and the other does not.
Does anyone out there have an answer for this seemingly random anomoly?

Unable to export data from Web Access Data Sheet in Sharepoint to local excel or access file

Greetings and good morning.
I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.
Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.
I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.
But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.
Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi,
If you would like to export data from Access Web Database in SharePoint 2010, you could go to Design With Access page in Settings. The url in my environment is http://sp/tt/_layouts/accsrv/ModifyApplication.aspx . Then choose the Table and export it to Excel
or Modify it in Access.
