When merging data into a PDF form, can it create a new form for every record in your data set?

I have a vendor database that I want to use to populate a pre-created PDF form in Adobe Pro XI. I figured out how to rename the form data fields and how import the data from my data set but can't figure out how to have it create another copy of the form for the next record in the data set.... if its even possible. Any help is appreciated!

This can be achieved with a mail-merge type script.

  • Can I create a new form response file if the original is missing

    I distributed a form through acrobat.com. And now I cannot find the form_responses file (the form_distributed file is gone for that matter too). I do not want to send out a new form for people to fill out, as it would be too difficult logistically.
    Is there some way to create a new response file - perhaps using the original form - that can download the data from Acrobat.com?.
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    Creating a new file with the extension Filename_responses will not collect the previously distributed form data. If you have the original _responses file, try copying it back to the actual location. However, the information for the distributed forms are still saved in a file named "adhocWorkflow". The information inside this file  determines the distributed form data and other workflows.

  • Two iPod touch devices sharing an Apple ID. Can I create a new ID for one of them, and will I lose everything if I do?

    My three young sons pooled their money and bought an iPod touch a few years ago. The oldest decided he wanted his own. We bought him one for Christmas last year, and I set it up using the same Apple ID. My oldest son downloaded some games but soon found whenever his brothers played the same games, the progress and changes were transferred to his device and vice versa. Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for the old device? If I am able to do that, will the younger kids lose all their pictures and videos? I am not concerned about them losing games or music. They have very little paid content on their iPod, but the older one has hit the age where he wants to start downloading music and better apps. Thank you for any help!!

    It the devices have iOS 8 then use Family Sharing
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    Not that yo have to be at least 13 for a regular ID
    Changing the ID does not erase any Data from the device
    CHANGE ID
    The ID is used in the following locations and you  have to change them.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    Settings>iCloud
    and Settings>iTunes and App store
    You  have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
    Note the following are resolved if you  use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
    Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

  • I have multiple phones on the same itunes account but now we can see everyones imessages.  Can I create a new account for imessaging?

    I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music.  The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages.  Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?

    Yes. 

  • If I delete my free iCloud email address, can I create a new one for free?

    Or did I blow my only free chance?

    Yes, they're all free but you can only create 3 on each device, including iOS devices as well as Macs.  You can use the same account on multiple devices, but you can only create a maximum of 3 accounts on each device.
    This has nothing to do with email aliases.  An alias is simply an email address that disguises your actual email address.  This is useful to have it your want to use it for signing up for accounts on websites, etc., where you don't want to give out your real email address.  Email sent to an alias arrives in the same inbox as email sent to your real email address.  You can have up to three email aliases for your account, but again, this has nothing to do with the maximum of creating 3 iCloud accounts per device.  This is discussed in more detail here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • Can't create a new service for thunderbolt/ethernet in 10.10

    First, I'm not sure how long this has been going on since I generally have WiFi on in addition to a Ethernet connection if I'm on the LAN (wire).  Second, I've got a new system board in the machine from about 3 weeks ago replaced by Apple via Apple Certified Vendor.  All done from Genius Counter.  Third, whether a router or switch in my network, the MacBook Pro Thunderbolt/Ethernet can't see past its own port.  That said, the transmit and send lights on the router or switch for the MBP are happily blinking away as a Gb connection with all the other connections.  I'm stuck back at the MBP as the culprit as of right now.  I've moved from the switch to the router, changed cables, deleted the offending services (which is why I was adding them back).  Pings to the gateway, router, and switch with no reply's (didn't expect any).
    Note, I'm running 10.10.3, all network equipment is Netgear except the router which is Arris (Comcast).
    Any ideas would be appreciated...

  • Reading Data into a PDF form with cfpdfform and cfpdfformparam

    I have been trying to read data from a query into a PDF form. I have the application setup to generate a new pdf file for every record in the database table which is working perfectly, but when I try to have the application pre-populate the form fields in the pdf form they remain empty. I have included a snippet of the code that creates the PDF documents. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 to create the PDF form.
    Snippet Example:
    <cfoutput query="renewals">
    <cfset new_file = "#reportnumber#.pdf" />
    <cfpdfform action = "populate" source = "beta.pdf" destination = "#new_file#">
      <cfpdfformparam name="Legal_Contact_Name" value="#LegalContactName#">
    </cfpdfform>
    <cfpdf action = "write" source = "#new_file#" destination = "#new_file#" flatten = "yes" overwrite  = "yes" />
    </cfoutput>
    All help is greatly appreciated...

    I'm just glad I might be of any help.
    First, make sure the image is embeded as a base64 encoded string in the xml structure you're working with on your form you've built in LiveCycle Designer.
    I do this by reading the image file and outputing its content as a base64 string:
    <cffile action="read" file="#expandPath('Path/to/your/image/file/BC.TIF')#" variable="imgObj" />
    <img>#toBase64(imgObj)#</img>
    Your PDF form should be bound to this 'img' field from your xml structure in LiveCycle Designer.
    This works perfectly and the image from the xml is indeed displayed in the PDF form generated with cfpdf.
    BUT, from the moment you convert the pdf form to static pdf document, the image will be gone - the dynamic text remains.
    Note:  I never further investigated why the image disapears once the pdf form is converted to 'static' pdf.  Thinking about it now, it might have been an incoding issue.  The toBase64() function in ColdFusion has an optional "Encoding" argument, may be by playing with the encoding the image might finally 'survive' the conversion to static pdf.
    Good luck.
    note: this will populate the pdf form from your xml structure in ColdFusion.
    <cfpdfform action="populate" source="/path/to/LiveCycle_generated_templateForm.pdf" xmldata="#your_xml_structure#" destination="/path/to/result.pdf" overwrite="yes" />

  • How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

    I hope someone can please help me.  I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms? 
    I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive. 
    I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields.  How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
    I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers.   I hope this time someone can please help.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thank you!  I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files.  I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files.  To you mean with java script? 
    I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need.  I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
    Thank you again.

  • Convert different types of files and merged them into one pdf

    Hi, everyone. I'm girl from China.
    There is folder containing severl files of different types, like doc, msg, jpeg etc.   And I want to convert and merge them into one pdf following a certain order. I know that PDFmaker can do that nicely, but the problem is that I have like 3000+ fodlders that requires the same work.
    I want to do it with VBA and Acrobat. I have a Acrobat XI Standard Version and a perfect license, by the way
    And I have got the code(Thanks, Karl Heinz Kremer) of merging two pdfs into one, but how can I convert them into pdf first?
    Thank you very much.
    If I can finish this, I would like to publish my code on this forum.

    Wow, that's great news. But how should I add the Action?
    1. There is no action named "Covert files into Pdf" in the tools panel....
    And if I write Javascript code to do this action. How should I write it?
    app.openDoc({
    cPath: "/c/temp/myPic.jpg",
    bUseConv: true
    These code only works when I specify the path of the file.
    If you know how, pls tell me..........

  • Batch Merge Files Into Single PDF

    [Thread moved from comments forum to Acrobat forum]

    Hello again. I took the long weekend off, so haven't replied for a while.
    While trying to set up a few documents out of the package I wanted to create, I discovered that there
    is only one file that is causing the problem.
    The biggest problem is that it is a confidential financial file, and I'm loathe to put it up on the web.
    I'm going to try to re-create the file without the confidential part, then send it to this forum. I can't
    figure out why it should cause problems when all the others don't and they have all been created by
    the same person with the same version of Office.
    So thanks for your help so far. I really appreciate the quick response from a couple of you.  I will get back to you.

    Hi Bill
    Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
    I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
    I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
    Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
    Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

  • I've created a fillable PDF document in XI Pro. I need to change the body of the document and create a new fillable PDF document. When I do that it won't let me create a new PDF. It keeps saying "no new  fields recognized. What can I do to redo my documen

    I've created a fillable PDF document in XI Pro. I need to change the body of the document and create a new fillable PDF document. When I do that it won't let me create a new PDF. It keeps saying "no new  fields recognized. What can I do to redo my document with the changes in the text, but no changes in the fillable fields?

    You start with a source / authoring file for the "static" content (e.g., Name, Last:). Say this is an MS Word file.
    You master the "static" content..
    You keep this authoring file and have a backup of this file.
    You output a PDF and use Acrobat to build and fine tune the "form" (form = the form fields, not the "static" content).
    The authoring file  and output PDF (with form fields) gives you "rev 00".
    Now, you must change something in the "static" content.
    Open the authoring file and save as to a new version (e.g., "wordfile_v00"  becomes "wordfile_v01).
    Output this to "pdffile_v01".
    Use Acrobat to open the PDF form file "pdffile_v00". Save As to a new file name ("pdffile_v00update").
    Using Acrobat XI Pro the click-path Tools - Pages - Replace lets you replace a page or pages of "pdffile_v00update" with a page or pages from "pdffile_v01".
    This replaces the "static" PDF page content and does not affect the form fields on the page.
    (you may have to adjust position of form fields)
    Save "pdffile_v00update" to "pdffile_v01" to reflect the revised status of the PDF form file.
    Be well...
