PDF with XFA elements

how do i convert a pdf with XFA elements to word?

Something to try.
Open with LCD.
Save as "static" PDF.
Close out of LCD.
Launch Acrobat XI Pro - Open PDF - Save As Other to MS Word.
Or, having subscribed to Adobe's online service (PDF Pack or ExportPDF) sign in to your subscription and send the PDF through the pipe.
Or, print to paper. Scan then use Acrobat or the appropriate online service (perhaps PDF Pack) to get an OCR'd PDF.
Then export to a Word file via Acrobat or the online service.
Be well...

PDF with XFA forms to excel or word?

I am trying to convert pdfs with XFA forms in them to an excell document but get an error message stating that documents with XFA forms cannot be converted into this format. Any way around this? Any way to remove XFA forms? Im pretty lost.

If you removed the XFA forms there would be nothing left. XFA forms are a complete replacement for normal PDF - a different kind of form, pretending to be a PDF. There's very little you can do with them, except fill them in, or export form data. Maybe print-to-PDF?
Beware if these are official/government forms. Converting them will usually leave them invalid and your application unacceptable.

Can't export a PDF with XFA form

Cannot convert/export a PDF document containing an SFA form - can this program not do this?

Hi Morin27,
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.

Problem with assembling flattened PDFs with XFA docs

I have a flattened PDF (legacy) doc that I am sending into a livecycle process to merge with an XFA doc that I am creating on the server. Assembler will not allow me to assemble the docs in the following order:
1. flattened PDF
2. XFA doc
I CAN do the reverse order just fine. Problem is order DOES matter and I need the XFA last.
Any thoughts on how I can reach that end result? I was thinking of doing the merge in the wrong order and then maybe reordering the pages, but don't know how to do that either.
Any help would be VERY appreciated!

Try specifying the xfa doc as the base document, i.e.:
<PDF result="out">
<PDF source="flatPDF"/>
<PDF source="xfa" baseDocument="true"/>
</PDF>

i've had a look in advanced properties of the file but i just got lost, is there a way?
how simple is it?

Require Browser Plugin with XFA Support for Government Web Sites

Most of the government sites I need to use on a regular basis now publish all of their forms in PDF with XFA, a popular one this time of year is income tax forms. This is reasonable as there is no generally available alternative file format for this purpose. However Adobe no longer supplies an Acrobat browser plugin for Firefox or Chrome on Linux. I therefore cannot access these electronic forms. I have tried using the no longer supported Acrobat 9.5 plug in, but it is broken under the latest version of Firefox (print doesn't work). There is no other plugin that I can find that supports PDF forms using XFA. How can I regain access to these forms. When I try all I get is a message telling me to install the (non-existent) Adobe Acrobat plugin.

I was only using income tax filing as an example of this type of application. For the sake of my privacy I would rather not specify exactly what government I am dealing with or what the purpose of the form is. Suffice it to say that in this particular case the ONLY way to submit this form is through the paper form, and the only ways I can get a copy of the paper form are either to phone the office and have them mail me a blank form, or access the PDF file, which I cannot do because Adobe refuses to deliver a working browser plugin! As explained in another reply the government web site does not present me with the URL of the actual PDF file, but rather with the URL of a server application that checks the capabilities of my PDF plugin and if it does not support XFA sends me instead a text message instructing me to install the Adobe browser plugin that Adobe refuses to make available!
I agree that PDF with XFA is an inappropriate way to implement this sort of application, and I would personally prefer an alternative. For one thing using paper forms, even in electronic guise, costs more in the long run, since a civil servant must read the final paper document and enter the information into the government database, whereas if the client was presented with an ordinary web page the information could be entered directly by the client, and only validated by the clerk. However in a transitional environment where only some of the clients have the ability to enter information into a web site many government applications will continue to be implemented in terms of paper forms. In this environment it is important that all of the paper forms that have to be read by the data entry clerk look as much alike as possible. That is why PDF is used because only PDF guarantees that all of the paper forms will be identically laid out.
In this particular situation the government department in question has spent $276,000,000 so far on this particular subsystem over the past 3 years and so far it takes more effort to process each transaction than it did on the older more manual system.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

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.

Combining PDF Forms with global elements

Hello all,
I have a bit of a problem with combining .pdf forms into a package. I was hoping that I could convert word documents into .pdf format, then convert them into forms using global bindings for basic information in the forms such as customer name and address. The problem is I would like to package the forms as required since all situations are not alike, and have the global bindings work within a package. Unfortunately it seems the only way global bindings work is within the same form unless you convert a word document into .pdf and combine the files into a single .pdf before you convert it into a form. Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Basically you have to lay the whole thing out in LiveCycle.
I've done it by using the Replace Artwork (under the Edit menu) command on an existing form and selecting a pdf that has all the pages I need in it. Then you have to move the existing fields in your LC form to the proper pages.
Or, put together a pdf with all the pages, bring that into LC as a new form and then copy/paste your existing fields to where you need them.
I don't know if there's a better method hopefully someone else has some ideas. It would be a nice feature in a future version of LC to be able to add pages to an existing form.

Love / Hate Relationship with Photoshop Elements

I am having a love/hate relationship with Photoshop Elements! Love the page design capabilities and hate the lack of capability on the print end. Kodak does not give any choice in the book they will print from Elements. All I can get is a #$%& die cut cover! Is there anyway that I can order other options that I know Kodak has available when creating a book using Elements and their site. I want to be able to choose a custom cover! I have tried Kodak to get answers. I have tried Adobe (impossible, unless maybe you pay). Neither are very helpful! The only answers I get are use the Elements designed pages and place them onto pages that you create in their software. Problem is that one needs a jpeg file to do this. No online program seems to recognize .PSD or .PSE file types. HELP!
Bob, Barbara you both seem to be very knowledgable...any ideas...
Anyone with any help can answer here or [email protected]
Terry

Terry:
Yeah, the photobook print options are limited. (Although, the built in Kodak and Shutterfly books are very nice)
One thing to try differently is to use the Print At Home selection on that first screen after the clicking on the PhotoBook option (assuming you are using PSE8 here) (use Photo Collage with PSE7)
Down that path, you will get a few more choices in page size. It will still create a multi-page document (a .pse) while your building your book, and when done, you can print the pages of the book out as a .pdf. Many book printing services will take in a PDF.
Another option is to do a single page at a time and save them as .jpg's. A little more work in keeping your various files together and ordered properly, but it would give you ultimate flexibility.

Problems with Premier Elements 7 Opening Earlier Projects

I have used Premier Elements 3 to create many 15-60 minute videos, most built from Photoshop Elements slide shows imported into Premier, and most with DVD output designed. After installing Version 7, I attempted to open these projects which it is supposed to do. A minority will open fine. The balance either cause the error "The project cannot be loaded - it may be damaged or contain outdated elements".
Does anyone else have these types of problems? I have tried all of the various methods outlined in the KB, like deleting preferences, etc., removing and re-installing, booting with nothing else loaded, etc. Nothing has any impact. I have talked to Adobe support and they are clueless and just walk me through the usual install/uninstall, etc. can anyone help? I have an enormous investment in time in these 3.0 videos and I bought Version 7 to upgrade and now it does not work! Thanks.

Just a thought....
How are you opening the Premiere Elements 3 project in Premiere Elements 7?
According to the Adobe party line Premiere Elements 7 PDF, you can open projects created in earlier versions of Premiere Elements in Premiere Elements 7, but you cannot open projects created in Premiere Elements 7 in earlier versions.
Do you have Premiere Elements 3 and 7 on the same computer at this time?
The Adobe suggestions is, if problems in this regard and instead of right clicking the project file in its saved location, then:
1. open the project from with Premiere Elements 7
or
2. right click the project file in its saved location and name Premiere Elements 7 as the Open With program
Check it out to see if I have interpreted this info correctly

Generate pdf with apex listener 2.0

hi,
we would like to generate pdf out of apex.
as long as we have text (IRR) WITHOUT special characters (öäü), everything is working fine.
when we have this characters in a text-columng (IRR), then we get a .pdf with the following content:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x3) was found in the element content of the document.
could this be a problem of the characterset? but if, where to change what?
- we defined in ADMIN in 'report printing' / 'instance-settings': oracle-apex-listener
- we are working with apex-listener 2.0 (integrated in weblogic-server)
- we work with APEX 4.2.1.00.08
thanks for any ideas

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
