Is there a way to Update and SaveAs, an XFA form using VBA or similar ?

All:
Need help to auto-fill and auto-save PDFs using VBA or some other means.
I have created an XFA form using LiveCycle ES ( v8 ) with a few fields.
What I need to do is repeat these steps below for 200+ PDF forms
Open the blank PDF form
Update 3 fields
Save the PDF with a new name
My Excel VBA code so far ( ** Copied from another post ) where dFile = "C:\temp.pdf" and dAccount = "Any Account"
Sub rxOpenPDF_UpdateFields(dFile, dAccount )
    Dim pdfApp As Acrobat.AcroApp, pdfPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc, jso As Object
    Dim str1$, bolOpen As Boolean, strFile$
    Set pdfApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set pdfPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    bolOpen = pdfPDDoc.Open(dFile)
    Set jso = pdfPDDoc.GetJSObject
    str1 = jso.getfield("Account_Name").Value ' Will appreciate if there is a way to set a field value
    pdfApp.Exit
    Set pdfApp = Nothing
    Set pdfPDDoc = nothing
    Set jso = Nothing
End Sub
Excel VBA is shutting down ( cannot recover ) when it runs the pdfPDDoc.Open statement
Any help will be very appreciated

I am on Windows XP,
In VBA, I have created Tool References to [Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library]
Downloaded the Acrobat v9 SDK but am lost trying to locate any help for simple VBA.

lrosenth,
Would I be able to Update & SaveAs with a newer version of LiveCycle ( does Adobe still have a LiveCycle line ) ?
I was looking at InDesign but am not sure if it has the functionality that I need ( i.e. create multiple forms from an Excel list)
.. also am unsure of the learning curve.

  • My boss cannot create a new subfolder by pressing "new folder" until he's already saved the file to his desktop. A "read only" error appears the first time. Is there a way to create and save to subfolder directly? It's Mavericks/Macbook Pro

    Hi, when my boss wants to save a new file in a new subfolder, he presses "new folder" but cannot create a new one because a “read only” error box appears. Once he saves the file to his Desktop he clicks on “save as” again and then he can create a new subfolder by pressing “new folder.” Is there a way to create and save to a subfolder directly without having to first save somewhere else?

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Is there a way to hide and unhide specific files programmatically using Labview?

    I writing an application that produces 3 binary data files and I want the user to only see 1 of the 3 files.
    I'm using Labview 6.1 and windows 2000.

    You can use System Exec.vi to call attrib.exe. Atrrib.exe is a command prompt program (left over from the DOS days) which can be used to read or set file attributes (including hidden).
    A sample command line passed to System Exec.vi follows.
    attrib +h "C:\My Documents\My File.bin"
    The quotes around the file name are required if the path or file name doesn't follow the old DOS 8.3 format.
    To hide a file, use the +h option. To unhide a file, use -h.
    The limitation of using this approach is that the Windows Explorer can be set to display hidden files. You might want to put the hidden files in another directory.

  • Is there a way to copy and paste a glossary, for use in a text that would be separately published by unit?

    I just submitted my first textbook, and it only covers the first quarter of my course.  I'm planning on submitting the others as I finish them.  One problem that I think I will encounter, is that if I create each quarter as a separate iBooks publication, I won't have the continuity of the glossary throughout each publication. Another option is to simply add to the first quarter publication, using the same iBooks Author file, and publish the text as the 1st and 2nd quarters, then the 1st through 3rd quarters, then the 1st through 4th quarters, removing the earlier versions as I publish a newer version.  (Why not just finish it, and publish it once?  Because I'm currently teaching the course, and I want to make the material available as soon as possible--also, it's a course on computer programming, which is a subject that rapidly changes.)  I've seen other iBook publications by the unit, and that has inspired me to consider publishing my text in four smaller installments, one for each quarter of a year-long, 2 semester course.  But that brings me back to the problem of having one continuous glossary that would function in all four publications.
    Any and all ideas are welcome!  Thanks!

    You're right, but I'm a little under the gun with my employer to get something out there, asap, and I unfortunately have a full time job that doesn't allow me to commit a block of time to finish the text in one shot.

  • Any way to update PO document through DTW without using "Doc Entry"

    Dear all,
    Just have a question.
    I need to use DTW to update existing PO document. I realized that I have to have Doc Entry to be entered in the DTW template.
    Is there any way to update PO document through DTW without using that field, "Doc Entry"?
    thanks
    Tony

    Tony,
    A similar situation related to Bank files was resolved with one of my clients on the following way...
    The file from the Vendor can be an any order or format on the Excel.  Till the time it is consistant it should work fine..
    We created a Job in SQL Server to read this Excel file and to use the DocNum to get the DocEntry from SAP PO and output another excel file which is exactly the template format for PO Update.
    This may even not be required in your case.....
    You can get this done through an Excel Macro....which will connect to the database and using the DocNum get the DocEntry and update the Excel....
    This is 100% achievable and a better solution for regular use

  • Merge xdp and xml to xfa form variable

    It looks like I am back to square one.
    DDX is part of the Life Cycle tool set.  As Far As I know, I am not working with Life Cycle here.

    Description
    Manipulates existing forms created in Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe® LiveCycle® Designer
    I created my sample form with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.4.  Does that mean I have an Acrobat or a LiveCycle form?
    ColdFusion supports two types of interactive forms: forms created in
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or earlier, and forms created in Adobe LiveCycle. In
    Adobe Acrobat Professional and Standard 7.0, Adobe introduced Adobe®
    LiveCycle® Designer for creating PDF forms.
    And if I do have a LiveCycle form, what or how do I get a DDX version of it?

  • How does one do updates when your service provider is s-l-o-w??                     According to the counter, our computer needs almost 20 hrs. of updates, is there a way to pick and choose which ones are downloaded?

    We have a "Rocket Hub" and our download times vary greatly.  My husband's computer, Snow Leopard OS, shows he has about 20 hrs. of updates to download.  Is there a way to pick and choose so we can catch up?

    Nope, because files sizes, machines, software installed are different and you can't control what needs to be installed first before others work.
    Apple is all Internet, you should see Lion users, they can't reinstall their OS at all without a Internet connection. (or pay $69 for the Lion USB key) and then there still the updates to deal with.
    So take a ride, to a Apple Store early in the morning before their network gets overloaded (what a way to get you in the door and buy more junk uh?) fully update to 10.6.8.
    Good thing about Snow Leopard, not much more in large updates coming for that verision, in fact they will stop completely come next spring or so when 10.8 is released.
    Unless you live in a wealthy area with broadband, your a nobody in Apple's viewpoint.
    You could get a 3G laptop connect card, hopefully that will give you enough to download your updates but they cost a fortune.
    If I could just provide you with update disk I would, but I can't, machines are different.
    Call Apple and ask for a update disk, perhaps they have a solution
    Once you do get all your updates, Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable duplicate.
    Donationware too.

    I'm very afraid you will have to pay the immense sum of US $30 to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    You do realise that you can add Ram, if that is all that is holding you back it's not a problem.
    Tell me the exact model and age of your Mac. (The model identifier can be found by holding the option key down and clicking on the Apple Menu, select System Information (top entry) and then read the model identifier from the righthand panel (2nd entry down)

  • Iphone 3gs is there any way that i can save contact on itunes

    iphone 3gs is there any way that i can save contact on itunes

    Contacts are not saved in itunes. 
    Contacts can be saved a number of ways though. With a 3GS you can update to iOS5 and use iCloud to sync contacts to computers or other iOS devices or just to the iCloud server.  You can back up your phone to iCloud which does save your contacts.
    You can use iTunes to sync your contacts with address book on a mac, or windows contacts on a PC, or with outlook contacts.  You can make a backup in iTunes which will include your contacts.  They will not be accessible but you can restore to a device if something happens to your device and recover them.
    You can also sync your contacts through a mail client such as yahoo, google, hotmail, or any exchange service.
    Lastly, there's many apps that can store contacts.
