Save response as PDF, excluding the hidden fields

I have recently created a new form, which contains a number of fields which are only shown dependent on rules.
This all works as it should from the users POV, however, when saving the response as PDF, the document contains ALL the fields which are on the original form design.
Is there any way of saving the form as PDF, but excluding the fields that the user didn't even know were there?  A properly completed form should cover at most 2 pages, however, because of the additional fields, each one is coming back as 8-9 pages long.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carl

  • Generate PDF form without hidden fields

    when I generate a PDF form from the responses it shows the hidden fields that would not have been shown. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

  • Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

    Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

    I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box.  Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

    Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

    Hi JC_AUS,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
    Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.

    How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?

    You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.

  • I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields.  Is that possible?

    I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields.  Is that possible?

    Randy,
    We have an application that I would like to have in Formscentral.  That application is also in a larger PDF file that once filled in populates all the other forms below it (lease, credit check form, ect).  If the Application on Formscentral keep the same field names as the pdf can I pull the data from formscentral and sill populate the old application pdf so that all the forms below it will be also populated.

  • Information is missing when I save responses as PDF forms

    When I save a response as PDF, I only get 3 pages from the filled in response. While it should be 9 pages. One of the tables doe not continue on the next page. How can download the response exactly in the format form the design? Now I'm missing to much information.

    Hi Emma;
    I am pretty sure that what you need to do for all of the content to fit properly in PDF is to use the "Page View" setting/mode on the Design tab (default view is "Web View" for web forms) and edit the content in that view to "fit".  The "Page View" view mode is to design/tweak the form to work in PDF, the changes made in "Web View" are still there including all features not supported in a PDF, but any Page Breaks added in either view are unique to that view, if you add a Page Break in Web View you will not see that in the PDF or Page View, if you add a Page Break in Page View it is only used in the PDF.
    If you were to have used the "Save Submission Enabled PDF" button on the Distribute tab you would have seen an error that the content does not fit and it would have taken you into "Page View" on the Design tab where it would show you the content that would be cropped in a PDF.  We'll address the issue that this error does not come up when saving the response as a PDF form.
    The view drop down selector is in the bottom right corner in the Design tab:
    There are a few things you can do in Page View to get the content to work in PDF but not change the HTML/web form too much.  You can of course add page breaks, and you can break up large form fields, but you can also simply change the font size to get things to fit sometimes, or go into "File" - "Form Setup" and change the page size which will only affect the PDF and not the web form, a larger page will fit more content.
    Hopefully this helps but let me know if this was not the solution to your form.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Save as Adobe PDF opens the wrong installation of AA

    Hi all,
    I bought an Adobe CC membership and after a month I found out that my apps were expiring. I accidentally set CC on Dutch (native language) but I ordered the English version. No problem, deinstalled all the apps and reinstalled them in the English version. Everything seems to work, almost.
    When I'm using MS word 2010 and I want to save my document as a PDF file (Save as Adobe PDF), it opens the dialog that I have zero days left and have to fill in my serial number, in Dutch!
    I can only cancel this screen, since I don't have the Dutch version of CC. If I try again I get the following error in Word.
    I deinstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI now about 5 times, but it is still not working. How can I point PDFmaker to the right Acrobat?

    Hi Rave,
    Thanks for the link. I tried them out but still no luck. When I press Save to PDF it opens the English version of Acrobat and this Dutch activation screen, after that I only get the alert and the activation screen. So I can save one pdf document and then I've to reinstall Acrobat. It's activated, but only the English version, somewhere on my pc there is still some leftover from the Dutch version.

  • How to exclude the note field when importing vCard into into Address Book?

    I am trying to get my contacts from Lotus Notes (Windows) to my Mac Address Book so I can get them to my iPhone. (I know .. it's a bit klugey, but I had to have an iPhone.) When I export the contacts in vCard 3.0 format, send them to my gmail account, and import them into the Mac Address book, it includes odd info in the note field like "CHARSET: windows-1252". I'd like to exclude notes from all addresses without having to go into each individual one in Address Book and delete the notes field. Any ideas?

  • Unable to Save Responses As PDF

    We have several users that have access to view responses to our Adobe formcentral forms, lately we are having issues with saving the responses as a PDF.  We are accessing formcentral via IE (we have tried alternative browsers and doesn't seem to matter), and it happens to different users at different times during the day. 
    When we are in the respective account and try to download the response as a PDF (doesn't matter whether we use the arrow to the right of the row, or the save as PDF feature at the top) sometimes the sytem gets stuck on the spinning clock.  Is this a formcentral server tie up or is it on our end?  Anyone else experience this?  Do we need to clean out old responses? 
    It seems to work sporadically, we are now stuck with using the "view details" feature to see our form responses and print them out that way but we would like to be able to use the download as PDF feature like we used to do.  This issue has been going on for about a month on and off and seems to be worse now. We have tried to contact someone through the Formcentral support (No.: 0185350898) and they gave us a "FIXITWIN" file that did not resolve the proplem.  We have one user that tried to download the desktop formcentral client to see if it would work through that method instead of through the browser and that did not make any difference.  We have had our IT support check this issue out at one station and he's unable to determine what could be the problem and seems to think it's on formcentral's end.
    Please help.

    Yes I've tried to download them via the method you indicated and also by using the save as PDF feature button, once we get stuck with the spinning clock, we have to completely close out of formcentral and log back in to attempt the whole proces again.  Unfortunately it is not linked to a specific form, we have several forms, all which were once working properly and now are encountering this issue.  Again, this incident is not tied to any particular form, it sometimes works and sometimes it gets stuck, and I can't seem to pinpoint any pattern to a specific time of day (we thought maybe it was a many users accessing the forms at the same time).
    This morning I attempted to download responses from several forms and was successful, however, when I had another user try they were unsuccessful.  I just attempted it on one of my forms and no luck.  Is there a capacity limit?  We have some forms with over 300 responses.

  • Save report as pdf in the database

    Hi all,
    is it possible to save the generated pdf from reports10g in the database?
    Regards

    Here is what I was looking for:
    re:How to get cookie information or http headers values inside Oracle reports
    pr_example in the above forum was written under 8i. In 9i, they added the timeout which is set to a default of 60 seconds. Look at the UTL_HTTP package spec on more information on setting this timeout.
    Plus, printing the BLOB is easier too. You can just use wpg_docload.download_file instead of using the while loop.
    Anyway, that example shows you how to call a report from a stored procedure, store it in a blob, and even it print it back to the browser.
