"IS THERE A WAY AROUND THE XFA PROBLEM? pdf" failed to export to docx. PDF files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

I really need to fill out this application which is a pdf with xfa forms. Is there away to convert this to a doc?

Converting forms to fill them in is never a good idea; if they are official forms it can be a catastrophe. Keep the forms as PDF, don't convert.
XFA forms are ALREADY FILLABLE. If you can't fill it there is a fault.

I just purchased the adobe convert program to convert this one file I need now and it won't work! it says it can't convert XFA forms. Help! How do I do this?

You can't. What it says is true, and it doesn't really matter what an XFA form is except that you have one.
But let's go back a step. Why do you need to convert? What is the problem you want to solve? XFA forms are designed to be filled in, printed, and have their fields exported - that's all, and all most people ever need too. Converting forms to other formats almost never solves the problem people think they have.

I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message indicates it contains XFA forms

I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message that pdf files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

Hi curtlea,
XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

Why can't I export a PDF containing XFA forms to a word doc?

I have an application that I'm trying to export to a word doc, so I can save the modifications that I make. I get an error message that states that "PDF's containing XFA forms cannot be saved to this format" Can someone tell me what this means?

I just have the reader, but I do have the capability to export and convert PDF's to either word or excel. I just checked the posting and it has to be mailed. I was just trying to save my work, but being that I have to literally mail it USPS, I will have to print it off anyway. Thanks for your help. I guess if I had read the posting a little closer, I could of saved us some typing.

Unable to convert pdf's with XFA forms

Why can I not convert a PDF file with XFA forms to Word?

XFA is its own little world, and very few tools will touch it. In any case, ExportPDF isn't for converting filled in forms, I think.

I can't access some of my PDF files because they haven't been replaced with the proper documents

I was emailed three PDF files, two of these I can't access and the following message shows up:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by

I have downloaded the latest adobe (XI), restarted my computer, cleared my search history on chrome, tried opening the files with internet explorer, and tried getting someone from the adobe chat service to fix the problem. None of these have proved successful.
Please help I need these two files in order to commence my new job. Please don't use complicated, technological language because I won't understand.

Hi Hollyr,
Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file.
Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products support these special PDF files, that it is better to show this message -- and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat -- than it is to let the PDF viewer try to render the document. You might want to ask the user to Reader-extend the documents so that you can view it with Adobe Reader.

Hi
What's your portal version ?
What response headers do you receive from the webcache port ? (using something like IEhttpheaders but for mozilla, maybe Firebug will help you to get them).

Trying to back up iPad to external hard drive, "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full."

This issue is somewhat complex so I will try to explain it as clearly as I can. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
It all began when I kept getting popups from my iPad saying that I had not backed up since May. I realized that was pretty dangerous so I decided to finally try syncing it to iTunes, though I had avoided doing so for so long because I knew that when I tried there was no room on the computer. I then remembered that I have an external hard drive with plenty of storage space, so I got that out and set it up with a folder to move iTunes and the backup into.
On iTunes I went to the Advanced Preferences and changed iTunes Media Folder Location to the G: folder, with the keep organized box checked. I also copied the previous backups from the original C: drive to G: so that I could delete the ones on C:.
I used Junction Link Magic to link my now empty MobileSync backup on C: to a new (JLM would not work unless it was empty) backup folder on external hard drive G:.
I plugged in my iPad to iTunes to sync it, and while it was backing up I checked the new folder on G: to make sure that the backup was being put there. It was.
However, about halfway through I got the message "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full."
My question is Why? If it is being made in a 1.5 terabyte hard drive now, and not the computer, why is there no disk space? My guess is that it must still somehow be saving to the computer. But how? And how can I get it to save solely on the G: drive where there is enough room?
I am running Windows XP and the latest version of iTunes.
An additional but not as crucial issue:
Much of my music has been lost, with the being displayed next to the songs in the iTunes library, and only 50 (purchased) songs remain on my iPad. This was because those missing songs were stored on a different external hard drive ( I:). However, I copied many of the music folders on I: over to G: so that everything could be together. I am wondering if it is possible for me to get these songs back onto my iPad. But this is not my most important issue right now, because I believe that once I get the first issue solved I can simply plug in I: and G: at the same time while syncing the iPad, and get the songs back.
Note: I have come to realize the iTunes program itself is still under Program Files in the C: drive. Does this have to do with anything?

Short term, free up some disk space. Long term, move the library to a bigger drive.

ITunes Library File Cannot be Saved. The Disk Cannot be Read From . . .

I use a MacBook Pro with a healthy battery. My iTunes songs are on a USB drive. The Database and XML files are on my MacBook. Power went out in my house and the USB drive shut off. The MacBook stayed up and running. Power came back, powered on the USB drive, open iTunes, and bang: This sorry error: iTunes Library File Cannot be Saved. The Disk Cannot be Read From or Written to.
The disks are healthy, did an fsck and ran disk verify/repair. No problems. Restart iTunes, same error. Obviously a corrupted Databse file. This wouldn't be a big deal if only the XML info would be useful and actually restore critical info such as play count and dates which is essential for the Not-So-Smart Playlist dependencies to work.
This is the third time I've been burned with corrupted iTunes "Database" files. I use "Database" in quotes because a true Database wouldn't crap out like this. It would be recoverable. It would understand a simple SQL "Where" statement. It would have a maintenance script and some means for recoverable backup beyond the lame process of copying the XML file. Or it would at least read in the info the XML file.
I am becoming disillusioned with iTunes and I'm beginning to yearn for my old Linux box running GTKPod which never failed me....

OK, here's an update - After doing the restore as mentioned having everything seemingly work, I erroniously downloaded the iTunes 7.4 & 7.4.1 updates. Now, about 80% of library is non-responsive, ie: shows up in iTunes, but clicking to play does nothing at all. the other 20% of my library plays, but it's not the song it is supposed to be playing. For example, clicking on a song from say, ABBA prodes a wonderful Gorillaz track :-/ (The same Gorillaz track which will not play if I select it...)
I reiterate: WE NEED A MEANS TO BACKUP OUR LIBRARIES RELIABLY!!!!!!!!!!

Error message when trying to upload a pdf file to a form

A user was trying to upload a pdf file to a form I created (Contractor Vanpool Application Form). The parameters I set, was that it had to be a pdf form, less than 20MB and a single file. She met these parameters, but when she hit the submit button, she received this dialogue box message: Warning: JavaScript Window - File Attachments are not supported in FormsCentral PDF forms. Please contact the form author to send the file attachments another way. This dialogue box prevented her from even getting as far as selecting the file and uploading. Another user was succesfully able to upload a form, so I know this is working. So I changed the parameters to allow multiple files in any format, and she still had a problem.
She states is using windows 95, Internet Explorer. Help, Michelle

In Form Central, when I add a field, I select the Add File Attachment icon (see screen shot below - it is the 10th icon from the left, the paperclip over a sheet):
Then it allows me to fill in the field, describing the file to upload, and the properties to the right defining the file size limit, type of file and other properties. This is all done through formscentral, thus allowing a user in my form to upload a file that is attached to the form when submitted.

Why can't I save text I've entered into a PDF file? When I hit "Save As", only the PDF document is saved, but not the text i typed into the document. I'm using Windows 8.

How to: Save many PDF files containing images as jpeg

I have a whole lot of PDF files that only contain images. I need them to be in jpeg format however.
To convert them I'd need to open all theses pdf files in Preview and then "save as" jpeg. This does the job wonderfully.
But it only does so for one pdf/image at a time. There's no way I can do this for all the files.
I need to preserve the pdf files' names, too, so I can't combine the files and insert them into one pdf. This would result in having jpegs all right, but with names that do not represent the original file names.
How can I batch process this with Preview?
I tried the Automator but haven't found any way of doing it there.
Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish that?

Hi PPAC,
What version of Windows are you running? I found another thread about this particular issue, with two possible solutions. One is to make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and the other is to change the compatibility to earlier version of Windows. (Right-click the Acrobat application icon, choose Properties, and then choose compatibility.)
I'm also curious what export settings you're choosing when you save as JPEG...
Best,
Sara
