Trouble retreiving attachments from fillable forms

I have created a fillable form for our customers to submit with responses. They can type a response in a box or attach a document, which may be a Word doc or a pdf. The forms containing their responses are collected in the responses file created when the form is distributed. I can open each response and then open the attachments. I want to be able to export all data from the forms that are submitted, including any attachments. I successfully exported the data from the forms to Excel but the attachments are not transferred.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might transter the attachments to a database?

Such a transfer is a problem if you are not extremely specific about the software. Generally, such an attachment is just that so that you can save it, but not for converting some arbitrary format into a different format for a database. You are probably asking a bit much.

I am having trouble downloading attachments from email

I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.
So for now, iPad 2 IOS 7.0.4 16GB wifi/cell model
I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
Any one have any thoughts?

What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

Retreiving attachments from PDF

As you know, attachments can be added to PDF forms. I would like to know how can I retrieve these attachments and use them in Workbench ?
Thanks
Aditya

I am using:
Category: Forms
Service Name: FormsService
Service Operation: processFormSubmission
The attachments come in off that as a list. I am then using the following script to move into a map for use in a later render:
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Iterator;
import com.adobe.idp.Document;
List attachmentList = patExecContext.getProcessDataListValue("/process_data/lsAttachments");
Map attachmentMap = new HashMap();
Iterator it = attachmentList.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
Document attDoc = (Document) it.next();
String name = (String) attDoc.getAttribute("name");
attachmentMap.put(name, attDoc);
patExecContext.setProcessDataMapValue("/process_data/attachments",attachmentMap);
attachmentList.clear();
patExecContext.setProcessDataListValue("/process_data/lsAttachments", attachmentList);

Selecting Multiple fields from fillable form in Adobe Reader

I created a form in Adobe Pro, and want to be able to select multiple fields to cut and paste the results in other parts of the form.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
I would appreciate any help! Thankyou

Go to Form Edit mode, and then you can select multiple fields either in the Fields list, or on the page itself (using Ctrl), or by holding down the mouse and dragging the selection square over them. Then just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the other page, and you'll get copies.
Edit: This can only be done in Acrobat, though. Your title talks about Reader but you post is about Acrobat...

Having trouble sending attachments from my imac thru gmail seems to like safari better i dont like safai would rather use firefox what do i do?

Hello!
I much prefer Firefox to safari! I have an imac and I also use gmail. I tried to send an attachment document from my computer while I was in Firefox from Gmail. It would not do it and I could not close gmail nor close Firefox to try to start over. Tried this 2x. Force Quit and everything. I then started up in Safari and all went well. Is Firefox somehow less compatible with Google and gmail and Apple then Safari? I am assuming Apple and Google are separate companies but sometimes one wonders?? So what can I do to make a smooth attachment from my Imac to gmail attachment in Firefox? I really prefer Firefox it loads better and less spinning wheel. I think a lot of people agree with me. Please help!! We must have alternatives to Safari and Firefox is the best as far as I know...

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Trouble retreiving clips from trash

I just bought my first Mac last week so I'm a bit new to this so please bear with me. I was trying to import clips from a CDR and before it was done iMovie closed on me and the 2 clips that already were imported went to my trash. But my problem is that I can't seem to get it out of the trash and back into my clips section. What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

Hi cris - AVI is just a container - you need to find out what format the file is. You may be able to do this in QT Pro - Window>Show Movie Info. If they are MPEG you will need to convert them:

Using methods from another Form C#

Hello!
I'm having some trouble using methods from one Form in another one. Here's the deal:
This is a snippet from my 'main' form:
public partial class PRINCIPAL : Form
//some variables here
Form2 Config = new Form2();
Form3 Cadastro = new Form3();
public PRINCIPAL()
InitializeComponent();
//code goes on and on
//Here's the method I want to call on the other forms (Form2 and Form3)
public void salva_banco()
this.Validate();
this.projetoBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.modulosBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.funcaoBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.estadosBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.tableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(this.database1DataSet);
//And here is where I show Form3
private void projetoDataGridView_CellDoubleClick_1(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
Cadastro.ShowDialog();
//And here is where I show Form2
private void funcaoDataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
Config.ShowDialog();
}// And the code keeps on going}
And this is a snippet from Form3:
public partial class Form3 : Form
public Form3()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form3_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.projetoTableAdapter.Fill(this.database1DataSet.Projeto);
this.modulosTableAdapter.Fill(this.database1DataSet.Modulos);
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (projetoTextBox.Text == "")
MessageBox.Show("some text here");
else
////// HERE IS THE PLACE WHERE I WANT TO CALL THE METHOD! "salva_banco()"
I've read lots of suggestions but none satisfied my condition.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.

You need to find the instance of the PRINCIPAL form to call the method on. If you know there will always be exactly one open you can use:
var principalForm = Application.OpenForms.OfType<PRINCIPAL>().Single();
principalForm.salva_banco();

Can someone pls help?

Hello Anand,
Could you share you console application code? Also tell us when you face performance issue. I mean is there any problem in accessing infopath form or you are facing problem with only console application.

Email from Oracle Forms Server/10gAS

I know we can use DB SMTP package to send email from DB. But we like to send emails along with attachments from Oracle Forms/10gAS server.
What is the best solution that is available? Any options in WebUtil in Oracle Forms?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm doing a similar kind of thing on our app server. We're using WebUtil to interact with the client outlook (either that or install Outlook on the app server machine). Forms is controlling the email software.
Oracle does have a white paper on this something to do with MAPI sessions but it was so long ago that I did this that I can't remember.
Hopefully this will help you somewhat

How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient. How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information. I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sharon
The easiest way is:
- Open your PDF form within Acrobat
- From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
- From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

How can I prepopulate a portion of a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Profession XI from an excel spreadsheet?

I have created a fillable form, and would like to prepopulate two fields from data in an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas?

You need to use JavaScript to import text data in a file setup using the tab delimiter and the column heading with the field name. You may need to select the row to import because one can only import 1 row of data.
importTextData
Has an example to import the first row. You can change the row number to see what happens.

Can fillable forms be disabled from saving?

We are given fillable forms that we from time to time need to make changes to the information that has been filled into the boxes. We are using Reader to fill-in the forms, but can only print them. When we want to save them it will not allow us to save any of our changes. If this a function of Reader? If we used the Acrobat standard version would we be able to save the form and edit it again later?
Thanks in advance.

I should have mentioned that Reader 11 can save a PDF form that was created with Acrobat (Acroform), as opposed to a PDF form created with Adobe's LiveCycle Designer (XFA form). So as long as the form was created with Acrobat, Reader 11 will be able to save it. If the form was created with LiveCycle Designer, it just needs to be Reader-enabled with Acrobat for it to be savable with Reader.
