Batch export data to PDF files

Hello all,.

I will receive a large number of forms filled with customers, and I need to load the data into an Access database. I know how to export data from a PDF file to Excel or XML for the migration of a database, but is there a way to batch-export data from a number of PDF documents at the same time?

Steve

A simple way to create a single file that contains all of the plug a range of responses is to choose "forms > manage form data > merge files into the spreadsheet" in Acrobat. You can select CSV or XML.

You can also use VBA in Access code to open each PDF file programmatically, extract data and write to the database. It's methods IAC (Communications monitor) and perhaps the Forms API and/or the JSO (JavaScript object). More information is in the Acrobat SDK SDK documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhel p.htm? href = JavaScript_SectionPage.70.1.html & accessible = true

  • Is it possible to automate the export of my InDesign file to several different export settings with PDF files?

    OK, so not sure if this is possible, but it would be a great time for me if possible gain, so I throw it out there.

    I often work on spec sheets to work in InDesign and when I finished, I have preset PDF export settings for Print and Web. Printing has all the markings of bleed and printer, and one, web well... you get the idea.

    For now, I need to run export separately; so I do my export to a PDF print... and then I make my export to obtain a PDF optimized for Web.

    These are separate tasks, but surely there must be a script or another way to get InDesign just export the two PDF files at the same time, respecting the presets they are posted.

    How can I do this?

  • How to do batch unlock/decrypt a PDF file in Acrobat XI?

    I tried to implement an action in the Action to remove Assistant batch security on multiple PDF files.  I came across this post and tried to implement the steps which he describes:

    http://answers.acrobatusers.com/ViewQuestion.aspx?QuestionID=16649

    The action that I have implemented load files and save them in a new location, but the password is always there when I opened the new files.  Encrypt step seems nothing at all.  I use Acrobat XI on a free trial at the moment, so I don't know if something has changed in XI where this technique no longer works or if it is a limitation of the free trial version.  My measurements look like this:

    Screen Shot 2013-03-04 at 4.52.48 PM.png

    You can not native tools in Acrobat XI - but you can import an Action created in Acrobat X Pro and run it, even if it is not editable.

    I did an Action that removes the security on a selection of files - download it here, and then double-click the file GL ENTRY to install it.

    The instructions say, you must set your preferences to the Action = password security method Wizard before running it.

    Is there a way to export a book to PDF format where each page is its own PDF file?

    I have to redo my answer key pages, the last time I had to save each page as a PDF.  Then I install in small boxes for the answer key.

    If there was a way to export the pages individually all of a sudden he'd save me a lot of time.

    They select file, Attach to Email.  Unfortunately, reach the button is dimmed in the task pane.

    No, the file must be saved before it can be sent by e-mail.

    Oke, thanks. I think I need to manage pages in another document (book), so I can export it as an interactive PDF. I loved the movement of pages by using folio Builder. By chapter, I can go down and the next chapter is right. Is it possible to have that in an interactive PDF? And you know an easy way to copy and paste objects in the statutes of the folio to a new document. Items of the folio are much larger than a normal A4...

  • Exporting to a PDF file with facing pages

    Need help please, I have a problem with InDesign CS4, which I didn't have with the CS3 version.

    When I export an InDesign document with facing pages in PDF format, it turns it into a PDF document with consecutive pages (spreads are divided into individual pages). I want to keep the format with pages in PDF format as well.

    My document is a letter of information online that can be printed on a desktop printer. The pages are of format letter for convenience

    Now, I tried to check 'Spreads' in the dialog box Format PDF exporting and what has happened is that Acrobat resized spreads containing 2 pages format letter face to face on a page of size one letter. The cover appears and prints well, but all the "spreads" are reduced.

    What I am doing wrong?

    This is a setting you'll need to do in Acrobat.

  • Export data from the file in 3dsMax

    It is a kind of problem aside I have to deal with before I can contiune with what I spend in my previous thread.

    I've been reading around and I realized that for axonal HAVE I'll go with the implementation of nodes (zero in my 3dscene) for the AI to use. If I understand correctly, I need to export information about nodes in 3dsmax and save that in a Director text member? Well... How can I do this?
    Thank you

    After a quick glance, I think you can get useful data from both groups.
    Personally I'd still go to the simple geometry as nodes in first place. I don't think you will have much more control with it, but it is easier to work if you can see your nodes as objects in your w3d scene. Dummies are not as easy to spot.
    The nodes of the geometry is to be there forever. If everything works fine, you can always hide/delete (after their data storage) them.

  • Data Merge pdf and naming unique auto export

    Hi all

    I have a question to which I searched the answer here for a few hours...

    I need to catch up some 200 certificates

    Each certificate will have 3 text boxes, Im using the fusion of data to fill in these fields.

    My question has 2 parts:

    1 part of my question is - this script can be used for these 200 export as separate PDF certificates

    Part 2 of my question is-- This script can I use to make use of one of the fields that will be (name) and allows to name the file when it is exported?

    Very much appreciated...

    Hello

    You can try two scripts that I wrote:

    Export a single PDF file:

    http://www.scriptopedia.org/index.php?post/custompdfexport.jsx.html

    a few rows of csv allows you to rename a bunch of files pdf accordingly:

    var csv=File(Folder.desktop+"/fichier.csv");
    
    var myPDFFolder = Folder(Folder.desktop+"/pdfs");
    
    var names = getNamesFromCSV(csv);
    
    if(csv.exists && myPDFFolder.exists){
        var files = myPDFFolder.getFiles();
        if(files.length==names.length){
            for(var i=0; i
    

    This code was intended to use the first line as a basis element to rename PDF files. Adapt it to your own needs.

    It will be useful,
