Merge form responses into single pdf

I have 30 form responses and would like to combine them into a single pdf.  When I use the Merge Files Into Single PDF feature, the forms are combined into a single pdf, but the first form is duplicated 30 times.  In other words, the form fields on the other 29 forms are replaced with the data from the first form.  Can multiple form responses be combined into a singe pdf and the data be retained for each form?

It is a bit late but I recently came across the same issue with combining mutliple PDF forms for which form fields have identical names. For example 100 people fill out the same PDF form and you need to combine them into one.
I beleive you need to have Acrobat Pro
1. File > Export > Export Multiple (This brings a dialog up where you can drag and drop a group of files.)
2. Click OK
3. Select EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Click OK (Now you have .eps files of each PDF)
5. Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller
6. Select Standard
7. Drag all the EPS files into Distiller
PS - If anyone has a better solution please let me know!

  • Error message when trying to merge multiple files into single PDF file

    Greetings! I'm on windows 7 professional, adobe 9 pro and a 64 bit PC. When I try to merge several PDF files from the same folder into a single PDF file I get this error message "You can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder" - Please help! Thx.

    The product is Acrobat, not Adobe. That being said, I suspect you may only be running AA 9.0 and that may be the issue. If you have not done the updates to the 9.5.5, you probably should. That may fix the issue you are having, particularly since you mentioned a 64-bit system.

  • Merging numbers documents into single PDF for emailing

    I have 23-50 numbers documents (invoices) that I want to send as one single PDF (to save time).
    When I select them all in Finder and open in Preview they are not full size and are rotated the wrong way.
    When I open them seperately in Numbers and cmd P they show up fine covering the whole A4 paper and are rotated correctly.
    Is there any way of sending multiple Numbers files as one PDF, or separate PDFs without having to open each one and Cmd P > PDF and drag/drop into Mail??
    Trying to save time, as we have 23-50 of these every week to do!
    We don't want to save them as PDFs as we create the documents as this takes up space on the computer - and there's loads of them!
    Hoping someone will know the answer.
    Thanks for taking the time to help

    Hi again mm,
    Use a master document in Numbers to temporarily hold copies of each invoice, each on a separate Sheet.
    As you complete each invoice, copy that table and then go to the temporary master document. Add a new Sheet and delete the default table that appears. Paste the new invoice. If the invoice has formulas, Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results (because in Numbers, the formulas will not link back to the original document).
    When you are ready to email this master document, Menu > File > Print... and in Print Preview panel on the right > Print All Sheets:
    Click on the Print... button (it won't print yet). Bottom left of the print dialogue choose Save As PDF
    That is the PDF for you to email and then delete. *
    I tried this with an "invoice" on each of two Sheets. Not tried with 23-50 invoices .
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Compile Form Responses into a Single pdf in Acrobat X

    I sent a single pdf using the Distribute function in Acrobat X to several different people.  I was under the impression that I would be able to merge all responses into a single pdf document.  Each form field has a unique name and each field will be filled in by only one person responding.  Is there a way to do this in Acrobat X?

    This is not how forms usually work. Ususally, each person fills in the entire form, and the distributor combines all the responses into a speadsheet.
    I'm not sure if the tracker is able of doing what you want. But what you can do is export the form data from each file, and then import all of these files into your PDF.

    [Thread moved from comments forum to Acrobat forum]

    Hello again. I took the long weekend off, so haven't replied for a while.
    While trying to set up a few documents out of the package I wanted to create, I discovered that there
    is only one file that is causing the problem.
    The biggest problem is that it is a confidential financial file, and I'm loathe to put it up on the web.
    I'm going to try to re-create the file without the confidential part, then send it to this forum. I can't
    figure out why it should cause problems when all the others don't and they have all been created by
    the same person with the same version of Office.
    So thanks for your help so far. I really appreciate the quick response from a couple of you.  I will get back to you.

    Hi Bill
    Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
    I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
    I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
    Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
    Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

  • Why is Merge into single pdf using InDesign CS3 and not CS4 ?

    I'm new to this so the question may be trivial, but it beats me:
    I've created some InDesign files in CS4 and want to combine them into one PDF. So I opened Acrobat 9 Pro and
    navigated to "Merge files into single pdf". I chose the CS4 InDesign files to Add and clicked the Combine Files button.
    BUT, this starts up InDesign CS3 and not InDesign CS4 and returns a pop-up saying "unidentified error".
    Why is starting CS3 InDesign and not CS4, and what is the "unidentified" error ! ?
    As background I intially installed CS3 and then updated to CS4, leaving the CS3 applications intact. When I initially
    bought CS3, just before CS4 was released I may have created pdfs from InDesign as an experiment, but it is possible I have not done this
    since upgrading to CS4.
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks Michael, I was not aware of quality issues. Actually this is not really significant for my usage this time. What I'm doing is just using ID to capture notes/images/links etc in several free format ID documents. I then planned to merge them quickly into one pdf using Acrobat. I can easily shuffle the file order around to create a handy portable pdf reference document with the Merge feature.
    Doing something similar from ID seemed to me to require me to create pdfs for each ID doc and them to merge them in Acrobat. I did start to write a simple script to do this in ID, but I then realised that I wanted the ordering to vary and the ID files would likely to change. Then I found the merge and bingo, that solved it..... Well it solved it on another CS4 installation that had never seen CS3, but not on my machine which had been upgraded from CS3.
    I tried looking in the registry for obvious entries that might point Acrobat to use ID CS3 rather than CS4, but couldn't spot anything. I wonder if there is something buried in there ?
    Thanks again for helping
    Regards.

  • I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

    I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.  The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

    Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
    Have you tried to save to multiple locations?  Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
    Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location?  Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    That's called Pivoting . The forum FAQ has a section on this subject: {message:id=9360005}
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post your best attempt, along with a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data. (You did post the results you wanted, but they're very hard to read because they're not formatted. Use \ tags, as described in the forum FAQ, below.)
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get the results you want from the data given.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).  This is always important, but especially so with pivots.
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Break a single pdf into single pdf's

    I have a 250 page pdf.  each page represents a departments information.  Is there a way to break apart that pdf into single pdf's but using part of the file to name the pdf?
    for example, if the first report has a title that contains department 123, I could extract that page and name it department 123.
    The only want I know how to break a pdf into multiple pages is to use the document / extract pages and select Extract pages as seperate files.  But when I do this it uses the name of the exiting file and adds a number to it.
    Also, i was just reading up on creating bookmarks. is there a way to set one bookmark and apply that across all other pages?
    Thanks

    Re extracting and renaming pages: This is done with a script, but it can
    only be done if your pages are consistent and the script can identify the
    text that is to be used for the file name. If you wish, you can send me
    some sample files by email ([email protected]), or share them somewhere and
    post the link here, and I'll let you know if I think it's possible.
    Re bookmarks: What do you mean, exactly? You mean you want to copy&paste a
    bookmark? No, that's not possible. But bookmarks can also be generated with
    a script.

  • Merge files in Portfolio into single PDF, preserving order

    Hello, I am using Acrobat X.
    I have ordered a large number of files in a PDF portfolio into a desired sequence.
    Now, to make it easy to print the collection, I would like to merge them into a single PDF. When I use Create>Combine Files into a Single PDF, my sort order is ignored and the files are combined in an alphatebical sort by file name. Now I could repeat the entire process of manual sorting that I undertook in forming the Portfolio in the Combine Files list, but that will be take up a lot of time and doesn't seem like the smart way to do it.
    Can someone suggest how to do this merge the way I want it, automatically?

    I've developed a tool that might help you solve this problem.
