Unable to collect form in PDF form
Hello,
I have created a fillable form using Live Cycle Designer. But when it comes to collecting the form data, after receiving the data in XML (as an email attachment), I am unable to open it as PDF. I have tried changing the default program to open xml files to Adobe Live Cycle Designer, but the program prompts me a window called "File Import Options". The file type by default in this window is "XForms Document". When I click ok, it gives me a "main error 47" with a long list of runtime errors.
Is there a way I can set this up when creating and saving the form?
I greatly appreciate your feedback.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your reply. Where do I go to access the post submit event in order to add the message? What kind of button do I select?
I like idea of sending the user back to our website by using xfa.host.gotoURL("address you want to goto"). I found the script editor and added that script to the button (regular). My question is, what do I select on Show? Initialize, Enter, Exit, Calculate or Validate?
Please forgive my ignorance : ) Thank you.

Hi ,
I have cretaed a form ( SAP Script) which I want send through email. So I need to convert that form to PDF format. How can I do that ?
Thanks,
ManasHi,
There are two approaches that can be followed to convert script to PDF.
First method
first generate a Spool Request for the required Sapscript
then goto transaction SP01 and copy the generated Spool Request number
now execute the SAP report RSTXPDFT4
here enter the copied Spool request number and the target directory into the parameters
execute the report
required pdf file will be generated into the target directory
i hope it will help you out
Please refer this simple program:

Convert Word 2007 Form to PDF Form not creating dropdown list fields
I created a new word document with all my text fields with lines and 5 dropdown list fields with all their values. Works great in Word 2007. When I convert it to a pdf form (Acrobat Pro X) none of the dropdown list fields get created. The text fields do, but no drop downs. If I have to create them all manually in Acrobat, what's the point of doing all the work in Word?
The Word conversion to PDF and Forms Wizard do not detect and do not know how to complete a drop down box. I do not even create the form fields in Word as there is no transfer to the PDF. I also find the Wizard lacking in proper naming and grouping. It is just easier and more efficient to add the fields manually or with JavaScript tools.
The only product that can do this is apache OpenOffice when an author creates the from body and form fields in the Writer application and then exports to a PDF. -
Convert FormsCentral form to PDF form
Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat Pro fillable form?
We currently do not support creating a PDF form. This has been a very common request (we are the Acrobat team so it isn't a surprising one ). PDF form creation is defintely on our roadmap this year.
Thanks for the feedback,

Word form to pdf form fields conversion
Does anyone have any expereince with converting form Word
form with active
x controls to pdf form fields - any help would be appreciated
Ann SteerNo. What you can do, though, is after you edit your file create a new static PDF from it, open your old PDF and then use the Replace Pages command, selecting the new PDF file as the one to insert. This will replace the underlying PDF content while keeping all the form fields in tact. You then might need to adjust them a bit, but it's much less work then re-doing the entire form.

Create HTML Form from PDF Form
Does anyone know of a quick way to create an HTML Form from an existing PDF Form?
Thanks everyone!
marsFrom ID you can export to XHTML which is indeed consumed by DW but not via Acrobat...
So, can I import a PDF form into ID?
When I meant was - InDesign can export to XHTML
Acrobat cannot
Indeed, it would be great if forms could be created as ID objects and then exported to a PDF form but not yet (all fingers and toes crossed for CS5/CS6)

Unable to open responses to PDF Forms
I'm SO frustrated! I cannot open responses to a distributed survey!
Created a survey in InDesign, exported to PDF (smallest file size using Adobe Presets), added fields, distributed to a test audience. They were able to open, respond, and return to me ("internet" email). I was able to download their attached response file but could not open it. It came in as an "FDF" file type and when I click to open, I get this message:
"The file you are attempting to open contains comments or form data that are supposed to be placed on [name of survey]_distributed[1].pdf. This document cannot be found. It may have been moved, or deleted. Would you like to browse to attempt to locate this document?"
And of course, the document cannot be found. I do, however have the appropriate survey documents, _distributed and _responses, in my folder.
Please tell me that my audience does NOT need Adobe Acrobat Pro in order for me to open responses and the Adobe Tracker to receive data!?!?
System: Windows XP
Programs: InDesign CS4, Acrobat Pro 9, Adobe Reader 9.2
Thanks for any assistance!
KimberleeFrom what document do I do this? I just tried the [survey]_responses and nothing happened. From [survey]_distributed, the "import" fxn was greyed out.
One more thing: One respondent, using Acrobat Reader 9.2, had a note at the top of the page saying that he could not save or send responses; could only print the survey!

Can I export the data collected in a PDF Form to a Word Template?
I work in the legal field and constantly have to draft the same legal documents over and over. I would like to creat a form that allows me to collect the data I fill in as well as export that data into the word templates for legal document drafts. Is this possible?

Forms: Translating Word Form to PDF Form
I have created a fill-in form in Microsoft Word (protected). Does anyone know how to then make it a fill-in form in Acrobat? Years (and years) ago, Word had an icon on the toolbar that you simply clicked. Acrobat help says use the "Acrobat toolbar." Help me on that? I could probably recreate the darn thing in Acrobat, but it's much easier for me to work in Word. Thanks.
I am new to this and trying to do the same thing. For interactive forms you save the word file to pdf first. Then, using the forms tool you create the form. Acrobat searches the fields and identifies what it thinks are the interactive fields. From there you can go to a host of editing tools to modify, add or delete fields.

NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses
FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
Click to view larger image
The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
Click to view larger image
The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
Click to view larger image
The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.
This FAQ describes what types of PDF forms can/cannot be imported and what functionality is limited within the PDF once imported:

Please send us your feedback.
RandyI followed this process to import my PDF form. The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral. The link works but the web page is confusing to customers. The message is:
An error has occurred.
The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer. I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.
How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page? -
Linking data from PDF form into Indesign CS6
Hello all,
I'll be working on a magazine which has a large section of day camps technical descriptions :
name, contact info, location, short introduction text, activities icons (they have to choose up to 5 icons from a total of 12)
Is it possible to link data from a fillable PDF into predetermined and prestyled text boxes in Indesign CS6?
Would it be necessary to export in an Excel sheet prior?
What would be the best trick in order for the icons to place themselves automatically, if possible?
Thanks in advanceWhen placing a PDF into InDesign, it's a flat piece of art for each page included. There's no way to manipulate form fields or work with links or anything like that.
The data from the form would have to be collected and converted into an Excel file for placing into InDesign. (Collecting data from PDF forms and converting the Excel format can be done in Acrobat Pro.) -
How to save Pdf form localy without internet
How to save Pdf form localy without internet?
I thought in the beginning about advanced user rights and pure saving them on adobe reader but i saw legal notes about 500 user who can legaly save it localy and answer to me (bu they can`t answer to my client who paid me for doing this form).
Other thing is to do Air Application which would collect data from Pdf Form and save it (localy without internet) to use it later.
I thought about that second possibility but i can`t find any clue to do it myself.
Any help will be appreciated...Hi,
Are you downloading responses as PDF forms after forms are submitted? If so, FormsCentral doesn't provide an option to exclude empty fields and you won't be able to save PDF forms without empty fields.
You can use this form to "vote" on popular feature requests, or to add a new one of your own:
