Cannot convert PDF form filled in Excel with data

Hi all

I've been struggling with the same problem for days now and any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

A quick overview: we have created a PDF form in order to assess the specific events of marketing that is provided to all of our stores. Once an event occurs, they will fill the form and send it to the HQs (me). It is from there begins the problem: I want to then convert the filled PDF in Excel (to compare the data of all events), who works in general, but excel does not include data from the PDF and displays only the data of non - fill PDF form.

The problem: I can convert my PDF with Acrobat Reader XI forms in Excel, but the data filled in the forms (which I want to see in Excel) are not included in Excel.

I work with the operating system Windows 7 Professional and the graphics department created the PDF form in InDesign CC 2015.

Thank you very much in advance and I hope that the info provided is sufficient.

Best,

Stefan

Not with Acrobat Reader. With Adobe Acrobat, you can export the form data or flatten the form fields before you convert the shape.

    1 make sure that you have done a "ExportPDF' or 'PDF Pack', not another thing.

    2. check that you sign with the SAME Adobe ID used to subscribe.

    3. If no, go to manage account on the Adobe website and make sure your subscription is active. (If you just pay it may take up to 48 hours for a reason any).

    You must understand that there is a big difference between the JS, you might be familiar with (the one used in web pages) and one used in PDF files.

    Although the basic syntax is the same most of the objects and methods are different, as PDF files are fundamentally different from web pages.

    You can find the reference to API JS Acrobat here: JavaScript for Acrobat | Adobe Developer Connection

    The form data can be copied by exporting it to a file FDF then import this file into the other PDF (assuming that the field names are the same), or it can be done using a script that uses global variables. The latter is more automatic, but may require adjustment of the parameters of the application or using a function of confidence (IE, a feature that is installed on the local computer instead of just in the file itself).

    The first is easier to implement and use, but requires the intervention of the user.

  • PDF form: fill in the field with the value of another field

    Hello

    I have a PDF form that one of our employees has to be completed on a regular basis.

    There is a 'product' - text field, which is present on the form several times, which will contain the same information.

    From now on, my colleague has fill all these these one by one manually. But with the copy - paste, it doesn't take more than a few seconds.

    However, to facilitate work a little, I want to it to be able to simply fill out one of the fields (can be a specific, must not be dynamic) and all the other 'product' - fields automatically takes the value of the field of this first.

    How can I accomplish this?

    I noted the possibility of JavaScript controls.

    I am familiar with basic JavaScript, however never used it for PDF files.

    Any help and pointers would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    This isn't a problem with script. Just give each field of the same name. Once the field names are the same, a change in one will be to another. For some reason that it does not work with standard HTML forms, probably the reason why you ask.

  • Fill a table with date values with a fixed increment

    Hello

    I want to fill a table with a date column with the increment of a fixed value date values. The start date is selectable, the increment is selectable and the number of records is adjustable as well.
    For example
    start date is 1905-Jan-02, 15:00 (DD-MON-YYYY, HH24:MI:SS)
    increment is 1 hour and 5 minutes
    None. records is 10
    then the dates in the table must be
    REC 1 1905 - Jan - 02, 15:00
    REC 2 1905 - Jan - 02, 16:05
    REC 3 1905 - Jan - 02, 17:10
    ....
    REC 9 1905 - Jan - 02, 23:40
    REC 10 1905 - Jan - 03, 00:45:00

    We are working on 11 GR 2, the number of records can be between a few hundred and a few million and they must be ordered with Crescent of time (maybe to have a whole id).
    Any ideas how to fill this table (simple and fast?) using sql / plsql are welcome.

    Thanks, Hannes

    Something along the lines of:

    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY-Mon-DD HH24:MI:SS';
    
    Session altered.
    
    SQL> select trunc(sysdate,'HH')+((rownum-1)*(1/24)*(65/60)) as dt
      2  from dual connect by rownum <= 20;
    
    DT

  • iPhone users cannot view PDF form data?

    I created a form that my staff can send quotes from our clients.

    The form is sent by e-mail to help submit a button of form as "PDF the complete document."

    I spent several days of testing of the form to make sure that everything worked properly and as far as I could tell everything seemed fine.

    Unfortuntately, several of our clients who have iPhones have informed us that the form is blank. None of the fields display data or information that my staff briefed.

    I have read several messages online and they all suggest that it is to do with the version of Adobe which is pre-installed on iOS devices. If Adobe Reader is downloaded on the iPhone must be correctly read the form.

    Is there a way to get around this? Ideally I don't want my customers having to download something before they can read our quote.

    Also, several of the fields have attached javascript who I want to keep, for example the "Link" text field (it has a javascript hyperlink attached). I have considered to be send quotes as a file .jpg instead, but that would mean losing these features that took so long to build in the citation.

    I have attached a demo version of my form where it is useful.

    Sample

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    I had suggested to flatten the form fields, which converts the content of the page regularly. There will be no interactive field after that well. It is possible to flattten only certain fields so that your script would continue to operate if the form is displayed in a PDF Viewer that is compatible, but that would require a custom script.

    Here is a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that allows you to flatten the fields: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

    It can be customized in order to exclude some areas.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro cannot convert PDFs into html

    I received the error message: bad pdf after I tried to convert an attachment (pdf) in html format with Acrobat 8 Pat for Win XP.

    Please let know us if anyone is able to solve the above problem.

    Thank you very much

    No resolution, but it is possible that the software used to create the PDF (bullzip) did not create a pdf file with elements that can be used by Acrobat Pro to generate the html file. Not all the files that can be opened with Acrobat Pro or Reader are properly standardized files.

    If the example is the only element that you want to convert or are similar to the files you want to convert, you'd be better off actually create the HTML from scratch. The structure is simple and would probably less time than the resolution of the problems Acrobat.
