PDF filled in form for analysis - download to Excel field titles are corrupted

I am having an issue with the download to Excel as well as the tracker capabilities in Tracker. The field names/titles that I have on my PDF form show up with strange characters as the titles. My form question is: Is your company currently a contractor/supplier to XYZ? The field in the Tracker and thus Excel down load is: Is_your_company_abRbCq3ookWNM8Au0LhpFQ. How can I get the full field as is show on the PDF form to appear in the Tracker and then Excel Download. I am using PDF forms distributed through e-mail. Form was created in Form Central. I am using Acrobat XI version 11.0.03.
Please help.

Why create a separate popup page to download the data? You can place the content in the ICM cache and load it via a very small Iframe in your page. I think this will acomplish the same thing you are wanting to do.
The following weblog has the code to acomplish this. It does it for XML, Excel, and HTML downloads.

Dynamic Paypal button for PDF fill-in form

Hi there,
I need help with adding a Paypal button to a PDF fill-in form. The Paypal button should feed through the Invoice Number field (a text field) and the invoice total amount (also a text field) to Paypal and add this to the Paypal cart (not ‘buy now’, but ‘add to cart’ so that more transactions can be added after that)
I found this thread in the Adobe LiveCycle forum that does the same thing: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/339584;jsessionid=54D973B79E04C5B30F8B4BA56D95CE39.node0?ts tart=0
I’ve tried to add this Javascript action to the button in Acrobat but it doesn’t work.
Does anyone know what the correct Javascript should be to make this work in a PDF form?

I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form created in Acrobat being non savable in Reader

Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

PDF Fill-in forms with Digital Signatures - LDAP, Roaming ID's

Hello, my organization is trying to be more "Green" by taking regular PDF documents that use to be printed, filled in by hand, signed and then routed... To a PDF fill-in form that contains a Digital Signature Block. I can easily and successfully create PDF fill-in forms, where Im running into an issue is with the Digital Signatures.
I can easily create a Digital Signature that is stored on my local computer and sign documents then forward them via email on to the recipient. However, what we would like and have been failing and making happen is to set up a signing server where the signer can fill out the PDF form and then sign the document by pulling their digital signature from a Directory Server, in our case LDAP or Active Directory.
From the information that I have found on the web I know this can be done without use of expensive third party applications. However, I have not found information on how to do this other then this simple 3 line instruction which did not work for us. - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0w/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e501 02bd615109794195ff-7d96.html
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?

Here is the code, thought I had put it in the first time, guess not heh. Anyway, I converted the arrayList(accountList) to a String so that I could see the that element I am trying to index is in there, which it is. I also checked the file that i'm populating the arrayList from and it also has the element in it.
public static void getAccountNumbers() {
          accountList = LoadStoreAccounts.readCollectionObject();
          accountInfo = accountList.toString();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, accountInfo);
          acctNumIndex = accountList.indexOf(accountNumber);
          acctIndex = String.valueOf(acctNumIndex);

I have tried to save the attachment as extended but that has not worked and also if done before inserting than the return hyperlink to the parent document will not connect because editing in not allowed.

You can't. Before Reader 11, you could prevent Reader users from saving by not Reader-enabling the form, but users with Acrobat, Reader for iOS, and some non-Adobe PDF viewers could fill-in and save. Reader 11 now allows filled-in forms to be saved even if the document does not include usage rights.

Protecting completed PDF fill-in forms from changes

I have several completed PDF fill-in forms that I wish to make available on a website, but I do not want the viewer to be able to make changes to the forms. Is there a setting that will turn off the fill-in function?

You can either set the fields to read-only or flatten them. The latter can't be undone, unlike setting to read-only, so it may be preferable. For a convenient method of flattening, you can use the following free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
or open the form in Acrobat, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), enter the following line of code:
flattenPages();
and with the cursor on that line, click Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad. Be sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original since this is not reversible.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

HT1725 I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I check for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded but they are not. What should I do

I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I checked for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded. When I close Itunes and reopen it still dosent complete the download what should I do

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library (if it's still in there then iTunes won't let you re-download it) and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Acrobat Pro 9 Mac**Making a pdf fill-out form non-editable when it is completed.

HELP!!
If anyone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I see the forums are with LifeCycle but I need direction for the mac version of acrobat pro.
I am creating a fill-out pdf form for distribution. I would like the person who receives the fill out form to complete the form,
and click a "lock all fields" button or "form completed" button that will make all form fields lock/ non editable when emailed back to me.
Where would I put this script? Can someone give me step by step direction for this button?
I am a novice to this. I don't know how to run a javascript for the button or what is needed to get this completed.
Can someone please help me.
Thank you so much-

How to create PDF Fill in forms programatically ?

Hi
I am developing an application in .Net environment.
I have a requirement to create fill in pdf form through my program (Text boxes, check boxes, Group radio buttons, etc), fill and save PDF forms and finally extract entered information.
I have following queries:
1. Do Adobe provide any component(dll, etc) that exposes APIs to create such type of forms ?
2. What are the licensing requirements for these? (For form creater as well as users who fill PDF forms) (License costs ??)
3. What specific versions of Adobe acrobat reader needed, if specific version required ?
Please reply to these queries.
Thanks in advance,
Karan

>-- Creation of fill in pdf form will be on single server. (So whats license requirement for the server ??)
Ok, this puts important limitations on the project. The Acrobat SDK is
a set of tools for automating Acrobat. Acrobat is not for server use.
>-- Forms created by server will be used by many differnt users to fill and save forms. (So you mean the users filling the forms require to have Adobe Acrobat professional ??)
Well, it depends what you want them to be able to do. There are three
levels
* Things which can always be done in Reader. For example: print a
form; submit form data (not PDF) to an http or https server.
* Things which can be done in Reader if forms are given a "magic"
property called Reader Extensions. For Example: save the form, submit
in PDF format. This has serious cost implications. You would need a
separate server product to add these.
* Things which can never be done in Reader.
>-- We are creating AcroForm. (Whats version dependencies?)
These should work with Acrobat/Reader back to version 4. However the
magic of reader enabling only works with recent versions of Reader.
>-- So do Adobe provide any component(dll, etc) that exposes APIs to create such type of forms ?
Adobe's server/enterprise solutions are under the general banner of
LiveCycle. There are lots of LiveCycle products, and unfortunately I
don't know their relative capabilities. It's possible that they do
NOT have a server product for making AcroForms, because much of
LiveCycle is aimed at new-style XFA forms. But, on the positive side,
since AcroForms are older techology there is a good chance you would
find a third party product to plug the gap.

HT203167 Has anyone else been ripped off when purchasing music. Paid for an entire album and two songs are corrupted. Then they want me to pay for service, so that I may ask for a refund. Anyone?

Cannot get any help with this, very unhappy. This was a download for our son. What a disappointment.

You don't have to pay. If they are corrupt and (assuming that you are in a country where you are able to) re-downloading them doesn't fix it, then login to your iTunes account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account), click on See All to the right of the Purchase History, find that album in your purchases and use the 'report a problem' link on it

Export multiple forms to xml/excel - field headings are missing

I have created a dynamic flow multiple page form in Livecycle. When I first tested the form I would export -> multiple forms to a spreadsheet -> an xml file that I would then open in excel. This worked great and the field headings showed at the top.
I did some edits to my form and now when I run the export to xml and then open in excel, the field headings are gone. What controls this variable, does anyone know how I can correct this?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The heading are in the table pt_fcat - you don't seem to be passing that in form....
PERFORM setup_and_display_alv_ver2
USING
it_out_alvp "Parameter structure
it_output[] "Internal Data table(header table)
it_output[]. "Dummy table for Hierarchical ALV!!(item table)
which I guessing in in one of the includes?
Saying that the extract pof code does not show where you are calling form it_out_alv_fieldcat_before ...which populates the headings...

All downloaded files via pacman -Syu are corrupted

I have a fresh install of AL and wanted to do a 'pacman -Syu' before going too far. Well it started fine and was downloading the files (about 20 in the list) and so I left it to finish while I slept last night.
This morning I wake up and check it and it shows all files that it tried to upgrade/install are corrupted. I'm using the 'Current & Extras' repositories in pacman.conf.
Is there something that I'm missing or doing wrong or a way to fix this without needing to re-install AL from scratch again?
rberry88 :?:

This is somewhat interesting unless I'm misinterpreting it wrong. I go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and it listed the last 3 items/packages that I installed, I then did df -h and then did 'pacman -Sc' to clear these out and did df -h again:
[root@tux pkg]# ls
evolution-1.4.5-4.pkg.tar.gz gnet1-1.1.9-1.pkg.tar.gz pan-0.14.2-1.pkg.tar.gz
[root@tux pkg]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part8
22G 1.5G 21G 7% /
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.0G 12K 2.0G 1% /tmp
[root@tux pkg]# pacman -Sc
removing packages from cache... done.
[root@tux pkg]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part8
22G 1.4G 21G 7% /
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.0G 12K 2.0G 1% /tmp
[root@tux pkg]#
So, my opinion would be that it wasn't the disc space that was an issue but most likely a corrupted download or other problem that went away when I cleared the cache and installed the new pacman version.

How do you duplicate a PDF fill in form page, WITHOUT linking the text (for MAC)??? That is, while still being able to type different things into the blanks on the duplicate pages?

The Situation (again, I have a Mac): I am filling out a 5 job application- it is PDF format, with questions, and fill in the blanks for your information- such as name, date, and employment history. Page 3, is the page used for employment history. But, there is only room for two jobs on page 3. The instructions tell you, you can "have as many page three's" as you want. In my case, I will be putting 8 jobs- at two jobs per page, that is a total of 4 page three's. I already know how to duplicate a PDF page, simply by opening the thumbnail viewer on the side, holding down the "alt" key, and clicking and dragging the desired page to create a duplicate. So what is the problem??? When you duplicate the page, the boxes into which you type, are linked. So if on the original, you type "Job A", into the experience box, it forces the same answer on the duplicate page, making it impossible to describe different positions!!!! Is there a way to work around that? Thank you!!!!!

You're probably using Acrobat if you can duplicate pages like that. This is the Adobe Reader forum...
To answer your question, though: The only way this can be done automatically, without having to manually rename each field, is to use a Template to spawn new pages. This is something the form's author should have done, but you can do it yourself as well, using some code.
