Returning a PDF customized with user data

Can someone point me to information about taking data captured via a web page (or a hosted PDF) that returns a different PDF containing the submitted data?
I am looking for a way to collect data from a user online then automatically return a customized PDF back to the user after that data is submitted.
Thank you!

You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

How to open a pdf form with fdf data

Hi all,
I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
Can anyone know any other way to do this?
Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
Thanks in advance
Annamalai

@ Bernd. It still opens a text file
Here's my FDF file sample
%FDF-1.2

(I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

Error when executing Query with user date settings = mm/dd/yyyy

Hi all,
I created a remote cube with datasource = TCURR table with proper conversion of the date etc.
The query on top of this remote cube works fine if my user date settings is set to dd.mm.yyyy
But when a user in USA, with user date settings = mm/dd/yyyy, executes the same query, they get a message
SYST: Date 31/05/2006 not expected.
Message no. FGV004
The input variable on the Query is on 0CALMONTH.
This message appears immaterial of what calmonth input I give.
has anyone encountered this error? if yes, what could be the solution please?
thanks
Emmanuel

Hi,
This is in regard to the user settings maintained in transaction /nsu3.Please follow the below link.

You need to change the settings as required.
Hope this helps.

I want to prevent users from saving a PDF form with the data filled in

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a fillable PDF form. When I open my form in Acrobat Reader XI, it says right at the top "You can save data typed into this form." I have NOT saved it as Reader Extended PDF. This is a form that will be emailed to recipients or available to download from our website as a PDF so they can fill it out on their office computer, print with the data filled, and then fax or snail mail to us. (No online or email submissions.) We do not want them to accidentally save confidential information on the form that will be visible to the next user when they close it, or to Save As and keep the filled form.
I know there are still ways to do it if someone really wants to, like printing it to PDF or using a PDF software other than Reader, but these are not folks who would have time or intention to do such a thing. 99% of them will be using some version of Reader, probably a much older one than mine. Thank you for any advice!

Thank you Gilad and George for trying. I just discovered both of you have replied to this issue here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211#5881211 - which is my exact same situation; I am also a regional health care agency trying to provide forms for health care providers! (It's a small world.) I just didn't find this thread the first time I searched for answers. I will investigate the JavaScript reset Form statement. Thanks!

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9
Developed a interactive PDf form
Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

PDF flyer with attached Data Form how do i upload pdf and submit data simultaneously?

Scenerio user downloads pdf flyer template with attached data form. user customizes flyer and fills out form. user clicks on custom "Submit" button to send form data to php form.
On submit, how can i upload the pdf flyer to our server AND still send the form data to php form?
maybe the local file(pdf) address is sent to the php form along with the form data, then i can use php to upload the file automatically.
any sugguestion???

Hi Mr AP,
are you trying to do this in Reader or in Acrobat? If you're using Reader it won't work unless the form is reader-extended by either LC Reader Extensions on the server or by running it through Acrobat manually and extend the capabilities of the form for reader users (careful - the license of the latter is limited to 500 form recipients).
If you did try it in Reader with a non-extended form the behaviour you'd see is that it just won't work, so that might be your issue.
Cheers

PDF Generation with LiveCycle Data Services

Hi everybody!
I am using LiveCycle Data Services to generate a dynamic pdf. I worked with this tutorial : livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/pdfgen_1.html and i adapted the code to my own example.
I created a pdf template with livecycle designer and i succeed to generate the pdf thanks to LiveCycle Data Services.
Here is my problem :
In LiveCycle Designer i create a table and bind my data connection (from xml source) to this table and i bind subforms to repeating data.
It works when i try to open an overview of the pdf with LiveCycleDesigner.
But when i try to generate the pdf with livecycle data service, there is no repeat of my data. There is only a number of items corresponding to the minimum of repeating i set in livecycle designer binding window...
Is it possible to generate repeating data with LiveCycle DS ?
an example of my xml source :
<item id="1">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
<item id="2">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
In livecycle designer, if i set the minimum of repeating to 1, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only one item.
if i set the minimum of repeating to 2, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only 2 items. etc.
I don't know how to generate an indeterminate number of items...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bye
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
there is no limitation. Dynamic PDF files can be generated with Livecycle Data Services.
You should have a look at the XML file generated by your Flex code. Try to save it and see how the XML file behaves when you generate a PDF preview with Designer. You can go to the menu: File > Properties > Preview > Use XML test data...
With the XFAHelper class, you can either load a PDF or a XDP file. Have you tried with a XDP ?
I've attached a dynamic PDF file that I've created for a customer. I generate a dynamic PDF file using LiveCycle Data Services. Maybe you'll find some clues within the file.

Populating a PDF form with database data

I would love to know how (if possible) to populate an Adobe PDF form with data pulled from an Access database.
Background
I have a registration form already created using Adobe LiveCycle which is used by people to fill in their details. With a built-in xml schema, the user saves the form and sends them to me. I extract the data into an xml document which I can then import in an Access database using VBA code.
The Need
When it comes time to re-register, much of the original data provided by the user has not changed. Rather than ask them to fill out the form all over again, I would like to send them their original data and they can update whichever fields they need to. With the xml schema built into the form, I would love to turn this form into a two-way avenue for both importing and exporting data. Is this possible?
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I have not provided enough information.
Brett

Populate PDF form with XML data

Although a seemingly simple task, this question has occupied way too much of my time the last week and I am asking the following out of sheer desperation and frustration.
I have a pdf form created with Designer 7.0. I have a separate XML data file to populate the form with. I can test using the preview in Designer and everything looks great. Now, all I want to do is deploy this pdf to a standard web server (IIS, Windows) such that any visitor to the site (using Reader) is able to open it/view it/print it, with the data there. That's it.
This was easily accomplished using Acrobat 6 by creating an ASP page that output an FDF file which referenced the PDF. Not so with the latest version.
I have downloaded three separate several hundred page documents that do not explain how to accomplish this task simply. So to summarize:
1. Does this task *require* a separate piece of software (Document Server) that was not required before?
2. If Document Server is not required, what are the steps to publish the pdf file and reference the data file?
Please help, extraordinarily frustrated :-(.

Ravinder, were you actually able to get your PDF Document (Form) to load with data? I have not been able to get my .NET page to populate my PDF document - the PDF loads in my Browser but has no data. If you can post sample code that you were able to get to work, it would be appreciated, or if you notice something wrong with my code below, please let me know. Also, when my PDF document loads in my browser, I am prompted to "Open or Save" my .xdp file and if I click "Open", my PDF Form loads, but the fields are not populated. How do I stop this prompt from loading? I don't want the user(s) to be able to see this.

With the recent release Adobe changed the name to Adobe Digitial Enterprise Platform (ADEP)..
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/customer-experience/enterprise-platform.html
ADEP server software comes with lot of services to help with many solutions for the enterprises, so it would be better to call the Adobe Sales team and discuss your needs and they will be best people to suggest what suits your company requirements.

                                   The issues i'm facing are:
When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...

In labview 64bit, Use PostLVUserEvent with user data cluster, unhandled exception occured.

My labview is Labview 2009 64 bit, I use PostLVUserEvent to post message with cluster data to labview. The following is the struct in dll:
typedef struct {
   int32 dimSize;
   uInt8 elt[1];
} TD1DINT8;
typedef TD1DINT8 **TD1DINT8Hdl;
typedef struct{
   int32       interruptSource;
   TD1DINT8Hdl portData;
}DIInterruptData, *PDIInterruptData, **HDIInterruptData;
In labview, the DIInterruptData corresponds to a cluster, in which there are a int32 integer and a uint8 array.
It works well in labview 32bit. But in labview 64bit, unhanlded exception occured. why?

PDF Template with user updateable fields

Does anyone have instructions from begin to end on how to create a PDF template with a field that is both populated by XML and allows for user to update when opened in Adobe 8 viewer or higher? I have been successful in creating the template, but once the pdf is output via concurrent program XDODTEXE the fields are no longer updateable. I have looked into the xdo.cfg in XDO_TOP and set the property all-field-readonly to FALSE, but I am still unsuccessful. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Jamie
We solved the problem... xdo.cfg contained a typo.

Sorry... I was only successful in getting the fields to update with Adobe Professional. Viewer works on the original template I associate to the XML / PDF, but when I view the output in Viewer I get a warning indicating the extended features have been changed. I am still searching... I will update when I get the final answer.

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply
