XML Multiple Data Export/Import into New Form

Is it possible to import an XML file with multiple form data (exported via "Merge data files into spreadsheet" option, then saved as XML) into a "template" form and create individual forms from the multiple data sheet? In other words, I've merged 65 forms' data into an XML file. Now I'd like to import it all back into an updated form.
What I've been doing now is exporting the XML data individually for each form and importing each form individually into the new form.
One option is to extend rights to the user to import nd export themselves, but I'm still looking into the Formrouter service, which, if implemented, won't be for a while.
Any solutions to this painful process?
Thanks - Derek
I just realized this may be a question for a different forum...Acrobat... My apologies.

Hi Derek,
Without the LC Enterprise server product(s) I don't think you will be able to achieve this. Acrobat.com give a mechanism of distributing the form, I am fairly sure it will allow you to view the responses in a new form.
Also applying reader extensions to the form with Acrobat will not help, as this removes the ability of importing/exporting XML. See https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg. If you are extending rights with LC Reader Extensions ES then this restriction should not apply.
If you have the 65 XML responses, I would be inclined to bite the bullet and manually import the XML into the new form.
Good luck,
Niall

  • Adobe X pro, export forms data to fdf, then import into new form using automation?

    Is there a faster way to export 13 page forms pdf data out to fdf and then import I back into a new pdf form. There are a total of 167 pdf files with total of 130 some field on each form. The fields are all the same in each document. I want  to make a macro or script to automate this process.  I don’t want to to open all 167 files then export them one at a time.  then creat167 new files and import all that data back in.  Also each file is the name of the person who filled it out.  I could automate the copying of the new 2012 pdf to make 167 new ones each with their name using VBA. But if that could be automated in adobe great. 
    We have to make new admission forms for next year. Currently all the dates and fees are this year. So I had to update all the pages in Publisher and reprint them to pdf.  We are sending the forms back to people with the data already entered since 95% of it did not change. This helps save them time in having to re-fill out the entire form again.
    Or any other suggestions
    TIA

    try67, I do have Pro as stated in the title “Adobe X pro, …”
    George,
    the position of the forms fields is exactly the same. But now that I think of it the data in the pdf’s is slightly older than the exported info in Access as I explain further below.
    George, I can create 167 files in an instant using VBA, I in fact have all the names in Access and did this already.
    I also forgot, I have all the data from all the forms in Access now. So it would be better to use that since it is more up to date than the pdf forms. Any email and phone number changes were changed in Access.  I clicked Manage Form data/ export to txt in Adobe and imported that into Access with a VBA and a macro.
    So I really just need to open each particular file and import the data into it.
    So can I call the whole process from VBA? Using a Active-X reference in VBA to get to control Adobe?
    I write VBA in my sleep so if it can be done there, Fantastic.

  • Data export/import , different OS's

    HI,
    i have to export data from 10.2.0.1 database which is on Windows OS and import that data into a 9.2.0.6 database which is on IBM AIX Platform
    How can i perform the data export/import between different OS's?
    Kindly suggest
    Thanks
    SK

    You can use exp from your AIX machine DB, as it is 9i, it works as 9i client
    exp username/password@your_10gdb_ip_address/10gdb_instance_name file='your AIX path to store the dump' .......
    e.g: exp hr/[email protected]/orcl file='xxx' .........
    or if you have a tnsname entry configured for 10db in AIX 9i then use
    exp user/pass@tnsname file='xxxx'.....
    e.g: hr/hr@10gdb_on_win file='xxxxx' ........
    then import it from AIX by
    imp file='path of the dump reside in AIX' ..................

  • Data-Export/Import

    Hi,
    I have exported my data via SQL Developer. The file has been saved as a LDR-File. In the file I can find:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE *
    TRUNCATE
    INTO TABLE "CONTRL"
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
    OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS (

    Now I am trying to import this file. I am using the SQLLoader. I cannot do it, even on the same computer.
    In the log-file I can find ORA-01830 and even I try to do some conversion like:
    TIMESTMP timestamp "MM-DD-YY hh24:mi:ss"
    TIMESTMP to_date(:TIMESTMP "MM-DD-YY hh24:mi:ss")
    Or….I am getting all of the time the same ORA-01830!
    How to solve the problem? Why the export function save a file that is not importable at the some computer?
    Thanks
    Kef

    Look at this test:
    SQL> create table test (t timestamp);
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into test values (
      2  to_timestamp('01.10.09 04:34:00,000000000','mm.dd.rr'));
    to_timestamp('01.10.09 04:34:00,000000000','mm.dd.rr'))
    ERROR at line 2:
    ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
    SQL> insert into test values (
      2  to_timestamp('01.10.09 04:34:00,000000000','mm.dd.rr hh24:mi:ss'));
    to_timestamp('01.10.09 04:34:00,000000000','mm.dd.rr hh24:mi:ss'))
    ERROR at line 2:

    1 row created.So I think you must change
    TIMESTMP timestamp "DD.MM.RR" )to
    TIMESTMP timestamp "mm.dd.rr hh24:mi:ss,ff9" )Max

    Hello Experts,
    Could you pls help me out in extracting data from SO10 into smartform.And how do we create a check box in a smartform(The check box should be always checked).
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Shilpa,
       You can create Check Box using a Table with 1 cell only with border.
       To get data from SO10 - standard text use:
        CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

  • APEX 4.Loosing translatable text when exporting/importing to new workspace

    Hi everyone,
    I am developing a bilingual application (base English translated to french) and I noticed something weird when exporting/importing to another workspace.
    First, my application is flagged as requiring synchronization after an import. Yes, I did check that it was not flagged right before the export. I did choose Export Translations.
    Secondly, when I look at the translated application in the new workspace, my Region Names are not translated anymore (in english instead of french). When I cmpare the 2 Translation Repositories (using the Manually Edit Translation Repository) I lost all Region Names entries (Column Description = Region name).
    Thirdly, when again comparing the 2 Translation Repositories, I have the same number of Strings and Distinct Strings by if I group by Column Descriptions the sub-totals differ and I don't even have the same distinct Column Descriptions.
    My test was done with my development workspace and a test workspace (where I deleted all application prior to my test) in the same instance.
    Anybody had these problems?
    Thanks all
    I am using 4.1.1.00.23 on the Oracle Database 11g Express Edition.

    Hi there,
    Well....I guess "they lied" would be me, huh?
    Unfortunately, this is a bug. This issue with region titles was first reported in Bug in 4.1.1: Region Title translations is lost I recorded it as Bug 13801807 - REGION TITLE TRANSLATIONS LOST WHEN IMPORTING AS A NEW APPLICATION ID. It's fixed in APEX 4.2.
    I hope this helps.

  • Export/Import the new Theme from Apex 2.2

    Ok, I am so very sold the new theme 15 in Apex 2.2 after 1 day playing. I really want to use it in the new app I am going to build very soon. Export/Import does not work at all because all the images whatsoever are NOT there. May somebody let me know how to do this? or can we do it?
    Thanks in adavnce.

    Hello,
    I'll see what I can do about providing a zip of the images directory for the new themes, it's not my call though. You can at the moment use Firefox and save the page (which also saves supporting files) and that will get you most of the images.
    You would then have to go through the css and make sure to grab all the background images in that file. On or two page grabs of different page types should give you most the images.

  • About Oracle 10g Data export/import

    I have two DBs, let's call them AProd, BAcpt.
    all tables/procedures/sequences etc. are defined same, only schema names are different, and the role names are different (e.g. In AProd, role 1 named as AProd_ROLE1, but corresponding role in BAcpt is named as BAcpt_ROLE1).
    In order to use Aprod data to refresh BAcpt, in OEM, I established a DB link from BAcpt to Aprod and planned to use "Import from Database" option.
    Option 1: By selecting "Schema" -> "Data Only", Import content type =" Import all objects", I am able to refresh BAcpt's tables with AProd's data, however, I can't refresh Sequences, especially the last_number of the sequences.
    Option 2: By selecting " Schema" -> "All", Import content type =" Import all objects", I am afraid this will overrite all the roles/privs of BAcpt, and I have to run scripts to recreate BAcpt's roles, and grant those roles to users again...
    Is there any better solution for this request?
    Thanks,

    Thank you first.
    I did drop and recreate on target DB using source DB's sequences. Extending the original question a bit, if the sequence doesn't exist on target, I guess Option 1 won't bring over the new sequence/procedures from source DB either, correct?
    Also for Option 1, It seems the Index also be updated........... Any document I can refer for details? I thought after import data, I need to "rebuild Index online" ... will it still be true ?
    Thank you for any answers:-)

  • Workflow for exporting xml from Excel and importing into table in InDesign

    Hello,
    I have worked out how to get data from a .xlsx into a table in InDesign. However, the workflow is still a little clunky and I am looking for way to automate the process further. My current workflow is as follows (files can be download here: http://visual360.co.uk/xml.zip)
    xml is exported from .xlsx by mapping the schema (see what_I_get.xml)
    assign tags to table and individual cells in InDesign
    This is the clunky bit: edit the what_I_get.xml to:
    remove the indentation (this seems necessary as otherwise when I get to stage 4, all the imported text is also indented)
    add tag for table in InDesign (p10_table)
    add tags for individual cells (p10_c11 etc.)
    import the produced what_I_want.xml in the structure panel of InDesign.
    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to automate step 3 above?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks very much for the reply. I am not at all familiar with XSL/XSLT. I have given it a quick google and it seems like it could be quite a steep learning curve to master. Maybe if I explain the whole context here, it may allow you to point me in the direction of a tutorial that provides a step by step approach to achieve my final goal. Alternatively, you may be able to suggest a whole new workflow.
    I am in the process of updating this document: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/insessional/assets/documents/IS_Brochure_2014-15.pdf
    The tables on pages 10-21 contain lots and lots of repeated information. We want the layout to in this format so that each group of students has all the information relevant to them on a single double spread. However, the challenge of using this approach is that it is very high maintenance to ensure the duplicated information is kept in sync - even using a copy / paste approach.
    I was hoping to overcome this by using a single source of data (eg. a spreadsheet) which would then feed into the InDesign. This workflow seems to be overcomplicated by the apparent need to use xml as the "middle-man".
    Ideally, I would like to press the export button in Excel and get this information into the the correct cells in the tables on pages 10-21 without a significant amount of manual labour - after all, my reasons for investigating an automated approach in the first place was to avoid the manual entering of data ie. the scope for error...
    An alternative approach maybe to skip Excel altogether and just use .xml. However, I am not sure that this is possible as Indesign only seems to allow you to import each element once. Maybe you could correct me here...
    I am happy to invest a certain amount of time in developing this approach as once it is in place, it will save a huge of proof-reading time year after year, especially as inconsistencies still persist despite our best efforts to weed them out.
    If you could let me know your thoughts on this and maybe identify a tutorial that would help me, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks again!

  • Color XML Data Not Importing Into FCP

    When I finish rendering my clips in color and I send them to FCP, FCP says importing XML data and the progress bar stays at 50% and doesn't move. Anybody have any clue on what to do??

    You will have to troubleshoot the round trip for something illegal that you exported from the FCP timeline. A hung return XML indicates that it has corrupted because of an ambiguous instruction that COLOR hasn't been able to understand -- it may not even have anything to do with the media and how its constructed on the timeline.
    Unfortunately, the number of things that this could be is a somewhat lengthy list. You didn't encounter any obstacles with strange things happening on the COLOR timeline, apparently. Without the actual FCP timeline and what kinds of things are stacked on it -- impossible to say.
    But here's an example of a known behavior: A graphic still (like a Jpg) with a filter or effect applied to it will cause the rest of the media on the remaining timeline to be lost. It just won't come back on the FCP timeline, as opposed to hanging the import. Stuff like that, that doesn't usually get discussed under the "just hit the easy button" workflow.

  • Problem importing into new 10g db

    I am very new to Oracle - so you are warnned!
    I installed Oracle 10g and created a new database called alio. I set up a service and a listener.

  • OIM 11g (11.1.1.5.0) issue with AD connector after importing into new env

    OIM 11g 11.1.1.5.0
    I had exported the AD connector from our Dev environment and imported it into Test. When I try to assign the AD resource to a user, provisioning is stuck on the AD Create User adapter, specifically the isADAM Task.
    I'm assuming something isn't populated in the IT resource or there is a disconnect in the tables after the import. The IT Resource config looks identical to the Dev env, isADAM = no. The group and org recon jobs run fine and it gets past the server validation task.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Here are the errors received:
    Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/getITAttrVal encounter some problems: Could not find IT asset value for Svr_key = 0 and attribute = isADAM
    Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/getITAttrVal encounter some problems: Could not find attibute value for IT Resource Key = 0 and attribute = isADAM

    at com.thortech.xl.dataobj.tcDataObj.runEvent(tcDataObj.java:2492)
    ...

    This has been fixed. For reference, we had a slightly different resource name in the AD Server prepopulate adapter which was causing issues even if the correct ad server was selected in the user form.

  • How to Retrieve data from database into another form ?

    Good Day!
    Am currently new at JSP. I've been studying it for awhile and still getting the hang of it. We are working on a project.
    Editing a given data. We have to retrieve the given data and post it to another form "Editing form".
    Since we can retrieve data using JSP but how are we going to post it to another form? I mean how are we going to transfer data from one form to another?
    Can anyone help me with codes please..

    The client is a web browser.
    The client submits a request (click a link, visit a form)
    The server gets to respond to this
    - look at request parameters from the client
    - access database
    - produce resulting html page
    - send page back to client.
    The standard pattern is to retrieve data from the database in java code, and then load that data into a bean.
    You then make that bean available as an attribute
    It is then available for use in your JSP - either <jsp:useBean> tag or using ${ELexpressions}
    All you can pass from the client to the server is request parameters - which are always strings.
    Draw a picture of where the information is, and the information flows. Very rarely does it go directly from one "form" to another.
    Cheers,
