Output of form so result is pdf and not xml

I am new to Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES and have created a simple form, which will be submitted by email. When the form is emailed, the resulting output is an XML file. I need the resulting file to be a pdf, with all fields showing.
I have searched and cannot find the means and option to do this. I would appreciate help on this matter.
I am using LC Designer ES ver 8.2.1.
Thanks.

Yes you can.. You need to use xfa.host.importData(); method to import an XML file to your PDF. Before you do that you need to add a data connection using the XML in form and bind the fields to tags in the XML. This way, when you import the XML ,the form knows where to pupulate the XML tag values..
Check this thread to get a sample file and XML..

Sending PDF and not XML

Hello,
I am trying to send a PDF and not XML when clicking a button that I created. Heres what I did:
1. Create the button
2. Select it
3. Field tab>Control Type>radio button select Submit
4. Submit tab>in the Submit to URL: box I type the email address in this format: mailto:[email protected]
5. Submit As: drop down list select "PDF"
I uploaded this form to my server, downloaded Adobe Reader 8 on another computer, logged in from that other computer, but when I click on the submit email button nothing happens. It works if the form is set for XML, but not PDFs.
Is this the correct syntax for the email address?
What else is there that am I missing or doing wrong?
Thank you

Hi,
I had this problem.
Open the form in Acrobat Professional. Click on "Advanced" and "Enable Usage Rights in Abobe Reader". Click on "Save Now" and try it again.
I hope this helps!

When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable. What am I doing wrong?

I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel. The result is garbage and unreadable. I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
not produced using Adobe software.
At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Order Form, need SUM=blank? and not $0.00 (HELP!!!)

I know this might be an easy question for people with javascript knowledge.... but I can't get this working... please help!
I need Order Form total field (sum) to default to blank (instead of $0.00).
*example: Under >calculate I am using "simplified field notation" and (Qty1)*7.95 -- sum appears in "total 1"
The unit price is $7.95 - The value of Qty1 = total 1 (calculations are working fine)
Currently all total boxes read as $0.00 --- I need SUM to be blank until a customer selects a quantity
How can I make the SUM default to blank? and NOT $0.00 - Is it a validation script??? If so, please help with code!!!
Help is appreciated - Thanks!
PS - SUM fields can't be set as non-printing, because Shipping Dept./Accounting Dept. needs ability to print and view totals (if amount is selected - otherwise it could be blank).
*** SUM fields need to be blank for customers who print form and manually enter data & totals...
I am using a Mac, and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I appreciate the reply... (it's been many hours without one)
I tried the validation script, and as you indicated, the only way the total field (with the validation script) appears blank is AFTER the Reset button is clicked. (However I have not checked this in a reader)
I can't see how I can make it work in that manner. Customer inputs Billing & Delivery Addresses at top, then proceeds to select products. If the reset button has to be pressed, all the data (ie. addresses) are removed.
If there was a way to apply the reset function automatically at the opening of the pdf doc. then it would achieve the result I need. I wonder if there isn't a way with a check box at the top that customer clicks which would apply the reset function.
If you (or anyone) has any further tips or help I would appreciate it. This is the last item the client has requested for change.
PS. In case anyone can think of a print script to use... The sum value, when =0 (no qty) needs to print blank sum fields (not $0.00) BUT if there is a sum value, the amount must print (for Ship/Acct Depts)
*** I just thought of something... The only time where the sum value needs to be blank is when customer prints and inputs data by hand.... so, would there be a way to add a print button that can also clear the sum values at the same time with the "reset" function and the validation script???

Forms automatically editing in LiveCycle and not Adobe

I am new to Adobe Acrobat Pro X version. I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, saved it as a pdf, closed and reopened the form using LiveCycle to add image fields, saved the form as a pdf, reopened the form with Adobe Acrobat Pro X, tried editing the form with Adobe, but the editing is now only being allowed to be done in LiveCycle. Is there a way to edit the form again using Adobe and not LiveCycle? Also, the edited form with the LiveCycle added image fields will not allow me to delete pages or replace pages when opened with Adobe. This is something I would also like to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Dorothy

Just to clarify why this is. If you choose to make your forms in Designer, this is a very big thing. When you make a form in Designer, an XFA form, the whole of the original PDF is thrown away, and replaced by a special XML form. This is then stored in a wrapper so it looks like a PDF.
Acrobat is really no more powerful than Reader. Both of them allow you to view, fill and print an XFA form, but that's all. Everything else must be in Designer.
So, Designer is a big step. Are you sure you wanted to take it? You can also add form fields in Acrobat, and it then remains a normal PDF ("acroform"). To the person filling the form, they often look pretty similar. XFA forms can do extra things not available in acroforms, but do you need them?

Email form and not XML

Hello,
How do I set the email button so that the form is mailed and not the data in XML format?
Thank you.

Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for the excellent advice. It was a breeeze once I knew what to do, and clicking on the XML Source Tab brought me right to the line of code that needed to be changed. I uploaded the form to our web site and sent it to myself and the PDF arrived instead of XML.
I do have another question. I can't find settings for Reader Extensions anywhere. I'm guessing this isn't an issue as long as the form is on our web site, but from what you say it seems like if I email the form to our users and they have it on their desktop and try to send it it won't go unless I have the RE settings correct.
I'm a novice and trying to learn so I appreciate your patience.
Thanks.

Paid to allow edit text in PDF, and not working

I wanted to 'edit' text in PDF and followed the instructions, it told be to subscribe and pay to do this. I did subscribe and pay, but the functionality is still not working, keeps directing me to subscribe and pay.

Hi rrobati,
I checked your account,your Export PDF subscription is not confirmed yet at our end.
Once it gets confirmed you will be able to use it hassle free.

Ai file opening by default as PDF and not w/AI CS3/4 on MAC client

We have recently moved our central file shares of *.*ai files from a windows file server to an EMC Celerra file server CIFS share. After the migration multiple MAC users have reported that some (but not all) *.* ai files on the share open up by default as a PDF file instead of opening up with Adobe Illustrator CS3/4.
If the user either right clicks - and selects to explicitly open with AI or if mac mouse, control-click and select AI - then the .ai file in question opens properly in CS3 and CS4. However when we double click, the file still opens up in preview as a PDF.
Is this something we need to change/update on the MAC OS side so that default will be AI? change/update onthe Adobe CS side? Or is this a problem related to the *.*ai files being shared on a EMC Celerra share. Again not all the *.*ai files have this issue - which has created even more questions...
Any info or suggestions would be deeply appreciated....
Thank you
Dave

I don't know anything about the EMC Cellera share, but I would say that this is a change on the OS side. Apple likes to think that Preview is the natural tool for viewing any PDF content, so Preview is now the default PDF viewer on Mac. You'll need to go to each of the Macs, do a Get Info and set Open With: Illustrator and Change All.
The reason this is happening on some of the .ai files and not others is that some of them do not contain PDF content (they were saved with PDF Compatibility unchecked.) To make sure that all files open with Illustrator do the Change All step on at least on file that does not have PDF content as well as one that does.
When Apple made this change in the OS, we asked them, for a way to set the default app programatically so that we could do it as part of the install process, but that didn't happen.

PeopleSoft Invoking BPEL process gets HTML returned and not XML

I am executing a SyncRequestXmlDoc in PeopleCode to call a BPEL process.
In an earlier demo environment this works fine and when I interrogate the log I get a correct Request and Response message :
I have now installed SOA Suite and I am deploying to that and I now have a problem with the Call.
It works.... but does not execute the BPEL Process.
Investigation has found that the PeopleTools Synchronous Message log shows the failing call as returning the HTML form of the BPEL process instead of the XML.
Detailed below are the request and response logs for the working process and then the failing process.
The question is :
Is the BPEL process launched by SOA suite being returned in HTML form because of a setting or configuration issue or .... ?
I can run the failing process from the BPEL Console without any problems ?

Is this a setting or configuration problem in my SOA suite install ?
Needless to say the BPEL process does not execute.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Lonneke
Thanks for responding....
You are correct in seeing that the two services are different in name.
However they are identical in function.
I created the service POSyncComp in my earlier version of JDev and deployed it to my local OC4J.
Which is launched by a PeopleSoft call using PeopleCode.
I have now rewritten this service in my new JDev and called it POSyncCompInt and deployed to home in an SOA suite implementation.
So whilst I test and before I roll the original service call out, I have both.
I have duplicated the PeopleCode and tweaked the message call, so that for testing purposes, and before I drop the current working version I have both calls in my PeopleCode event.
The original POSyncComp call still works, but the call to the 'new replacement' does not.
Hence the log shows both calls.... with slightly different names.
The strange thing is that the PeopleSoft LOG shows very similar code in the Request Message, but the response from the new call shows the HTML Form that I get if I run the second BPEL process from the SOA BPEL console.
So it looks like it is addressing the URL correctly.... but it suggests that stand alone OC4J returns a different response to the SOA suite which I am using for the new version of the BPEL process.... Is this configuration ?
It hints at the xsd file and the complex message type at entry to the BPEL process.
I can run the new process from the SOA suite BPEL Console with no problems.
I hope that clarifies your question about two different service names

Forms-need re-editable PDF and download

We are looking to create re-editable forms for our students to update each semester (PDF printable style) but would also love to have results downloaded to a spreadsheet. We have Lifecycle and Adobe Pro X and can get Adobe Pro XI. I'm not terribly technical and have questions.
1. Can we do the above with Prof X as well as XI?
2. Can a form be both PDF style and still be embedded or share in email/on the web with the results also downloadable?
3. Must we view downloadable results on Adobe's website? Can we upload or copy and paste the result to an external spreadsheet (ex: Excel)?
2. We already have the forms in Lifecycle. If we don't want redo our forms, is there a way to "program" Lifecycle so that the results download. We heard the Lifecycle forms can be revisited and edited by the user. I hope this is correct.
We are eager for your reply, and thank you

There may not be anything that can be done for this. Here's how things work:
When you view a report in Rich Client, everything is processed inside Rich Client which does a couple of things:
1. Renders the pages as HTML instead of converting to Excel or PDF.
2. Shows the first page as soon as it's ready, even though it may be processing the rest of the pages. This is part of why you see the report so quickly.
When you export a report through code, not only does the code have to take the time to convert the report to a different format, it has to render ALL of the pages in the report prior to the export. This is the part that is probably taking longer.

Unable to Open .pdf and not allowed to update the Reader

I work for a State Agency that sends out .pdfs created with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to other State Agencies as an email attachment.
We put security on the .pdf allowing only printing of the document.
We have been doing this for years with no problems; however, we recently added a new branch of agencies to receive them. Many of these agencies are unable to open the .pdf.
I suggested they update to the Reader X, but they say they are unable to update the Reader because, "Our IT department does not have the capability to upgrade my adobe without it affecting the daily operation of my case management system." Apparently, they have lots of forms that they will be unable to use if they upgrade.
So, my question is: Is there some other way the agencies can view and print the .pdf we are sending to them?
Thank you so much for your help!

That could be enough.
Some email systems use encoding on files to make the transfer a little faster. When they are decoded at the receiving end, they can become corrupt.
One way to test if this is the issue would be to Zip the file first, email it, and see if they can unZip the file and open it. If that works, then encoding is the problem. Not sure what can be done about that other than to Zip all files or post the files to a server and send them a link.
I also seem to remember a conversation a long time ago about some newer files not being readable in Reader 5 and it tossed up that same error message but unfortunately, I'm depending on memory for that one and can't seem to find that old thread.
But try a testing a Zip file and see if that works first.

Form guide's preview PDF button not visible in Firefox

Don't know if this is a silly question but when I preview form guides in Firefox then the 4 top-right buttons (including Show/Hide PDF) doesn't appear. I have confirmed that I selected the "Include PDF preview" option. In IE everything works fine, so I'm assuming it has something to do with Active X.
I did have a look at the generated html, but couldn't really get much wiser. Any ideas?

Hi Vijay,
Goto:
Universal Worklist Content Configuration -> Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions
In the table under the "Current Configurations" tab, select the standard travel configuration provided by SAP -> "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra".
Here, search for the code of the task for which everything is working fine; in our case it was TS20000118. Copy this piece of code.
Now download the currently active XML configuration. In the saved XML file, search for the task code which is not working as expected. Replace this piece of code with the code copied in the above step. Save with a different name.
Upload this new configuration with HIgh priority.
Reregister the connector and clear the cache.
These steps solved my problem. Probably it should work for you too.
Regards,
