extract the pdf form xml data
Hello
What are the conditions to be able to extract data from a pdf form? I thought, that it is necessary to have the XML schema data connection and that all fields in the form must be bound to this data connection.
But today I found, that domains can use the right connection 'use name (FieldName)', it's something by default - and that explicit data connection is necessary for this purpose.
What is the common approach to the design of forms, which must be extracted by LC processFormSubmission?
Thank you.
All the data that is retrieved from an XFA form designed will be in xml format. The question then becomes how to control the format of the data that results. By default, the xml structure will follow the hierarchy (it is the Fieldname binding or binding normal use). If you want the data to follow a particular structure (so that you can use it with other systems that have a specific format) so that's when you would use sample XML or a schema in the data connection. Then by nodes of connection in the connection data in the fields, the form knows how to create the desired structure. If the structure is unimportant, then just stick with normal links and that no data connection is necessary.
Hope that helps

I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?
Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

prevent changes to signed and sent the PDF form
Hello world!
I hope you can help me. Please excuse any poor English and also all false translations of Acrobat buttons / functions since my Acrobat is in German I don't know the correct English terms.
[Win7, Acrobat XI]
I created a PDF form (w / InDesign).
"I added the 'Send form' action [Formular senden] in Acrobat by using the 'Edit form tools' then right click on the word > properties > actions.
A user can complete and sign before you send the whole PDF for me.
When I receive the complete PDF I see all completed the fields and signatures, BUT I can also edit all the fields of the signed PDF.
How can I prevent the PDF form signed being changed by the receiving person?
Thank you very much.
Ben
Hi ben.beispiel,
Right-click on the signature field. Go to the tab "Signed" in the "Digital Signature Properties" dialog box. The option 'Mark read-only' as shown below:
This will avoid editing the PDF file that is signed by the recipient.
Kind regards

A password is adjustable to apply after a field on the PDF form entry?
A password is adjustable to apply after a field on the PDF form entry? So requiring a password after the PDF is closed with a field entry and asking the password after the reopening of the PDF document
If you ask a password to open document for standard password security, the answer is no.

I can automatically fill a PDF form with data from another file of the Government?
I need to be able to insert automatically the data into a PDF form to print. I can create the data file with alpha and numeric values to be inserted into the form. Is there a way to merge/package/combine without action from the user to slide, falling, or gluing?
It would be on a platform Windows (ideally for XP and Windows 7).
Hi Mike,.
Yes you can import data to a PDF file from another data file using option "Import data" in Acrobat. AXI supports the .fdf, the .xfdf, the .xfd, .xml and .txt file formats. I'm not sure the version of Acrobat you have, but here I am you provide the links of the AXI and AX online help documentation. Please post back if you need more information:

Can I receive via an XML web service in the PDF form?
Hi all, I am able to send data to a server via a web service configured in my button send email. Once the data has been received on the server, a reference number is returned. My problem starts here as reference number comes back in my browser and not in the PDF file. How can I get the reference number in the PDF? Thank you J
If you actually submit the XML via a web service you shodul be able to bind the output of the web service to a field in your form. You have configured a data connection to a WSDL file?
You say that you submit via a webservice in your button send email. That made no sense than that described two submit operations on the same key. I suspect that you send us by e-mail and that the server is answer via a HTML page... .Hence the browser is to intercept and place it on the screen (outside your PDF file).
Hope that helps

Script for the use of XML data to pre file form open using the player
I need to pre fill five fields when the user opens the form using Acrobat Reader (title, name, address, etc.). The values are saved in an xml data file in the same directory as the form (no database or web services connections). I tested the xml code and form structures using shapes-> manage form data-> import data and everything works fine. Now, I need to emulate this behavior programmatically, so it does not work using only Acrobat Reader. I can't find the magic java script command to import the data (I tried xfa.host.importData and xfa.datasets.data.loadXML without result). Require purchase Pro or Livecycle Server product is not an option. This seems to be a basic requirement, so I hope I'm just being stupid and missing of which is obvious. Thank you.
Hello
Unless you're reader allowing the form with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES, users with reader will NOT be able to import (or export) XML.
Summary here: https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg
Based on your description that you look at options 2 and 3, users with the reader.

How to extract the layers form a PDF (previously built with Amnesty International)
Hello
Unfortunately, I saved a whole website in PDF format design without checking "editable possibility."
= > OopsWhen open my file pdf, illustrator ask me to choose only a single page.
I thought that I would never be able to change as long as when I click on the Visual, nothing happened
but I realized that I could still isolate group
and then isolate layer, then finally an object.
I would like to leave this 'clip' mode and get back to my good old layers
Is this possible?
2 questions
How could export all these layers 'merged' into good layer, to be able to change my big file?How can I export my pdf into a good .ai file again?
Is this possible?Thank you very much
Marguerite
You can release the clipping mask, but will give you all the layers back automatically. Some objects and the effects could also be extended.
You should always save the file TO fully editable character.
From the PDF file, you can only manually things sort in a layer structure

Size of the PDF forms are higher than expected
Hi, I seem to have a problem with the file size of my PDF Forms.
I have created on Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 9.0.0.2.20120627 xfa forms and they are all at least 1 big MB which is large enough for an xfa form.
When I initially create an xfa form, it is around 11-12 Kb, when I add a few items in the shape that it is not too large, 30-90 Kb around, but when I have almost completed my forms it always ends with 1 MB of data.
I thought that maybe it's because I'm pasting some already created objects from another on a new, but this is not the case.
Before that, I checked the XML source to see if there is anything suspicious about the forms and I created if I could find something the size of my PDF files.
I have seen my biggest form who have 15 k lines of XML coding and 1,386 Mb and another with only 5 k lines of XML coding and 1,303 Mb.
So here, the ratio is 10 k XML encoding is equal to 83 KB. A blank form is about 136 coding XML and is equal to 10 KB.
When I see other forms that I didn't create, other sources, they are around 300-600 Kb...
Now I wonder what could be the reason why my forms are so much bigger.
Would it because I'm not on the side Server encoding?
Is it because of my Script objects?
Or because I'm missing something on xfa forms?
Or, maybe because I don't use Action Builder?
Or that's what I think, I use different functions, more it grows, perhaps as a result of using these functions, objects of reference?
If anyone knows what is the main reason for a PDF size XFA form, I would like to know.
Thank you
Hello
the reasons for the large files are generally images and embedded fonts.
In forms with the default fonts like Arial or Myriad Pro, it is unwise to incorporate fonts in Reader/Acrobat already has the fonts and do not need to be incorporated.
Only Arial needs about 450 KB in a form.
If you use images don't embed them, because it means that they get stored as a string encoded in base64 in the XML source instead of a stream encoded flate in the PDF.
Base64 is very clumsy and needs more space.

can't read the pdf form on iPad
Hello
I finished and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the shape is empty and I don't see any of the data filled. After searching online solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > advanced, but PDF Optimization is gray and I can't find any information on how to activate it. Any help would be appreciated!
There is a Version of Adobe Reader for iPad in fact that I installed and there is no preview for iPad (or at least I don't have it loaded)
I must warn that adobe has not implemented support for Javascript. There are other programs of player what to do.

Dynamic form: XML Data Import Question (I'm almost there..)
Niall was very useful gettig me at this point. Thank you very much!
I did all my updates and changes that have been suggested in the following form:
https://Acrobat.com/#d=t1uvlNlj4Yrh7zxtpbJiRg
My question is, when I import the XML data file, only a few of the shows of information upward?
Thought of back in all it took to get to this day, I don't know if I should not be only to count my blessings to be where I am? But, if someone (and knowing Niall is probably reading this - but I was too embarrassed to ask for more help), could help to tell me what I should do, I think it will be the last time I have to ask for help... at least on this form.
Thank you!!!Hi Rob,
In this case you don't need a data connection.
If you select a field and go to object > link tab, you will see a drop-down list to specify the data binding for this field. Currently it is set to 'None', which means that the field data will not be exported. Similarly, if you had an XML file with data, it would not be imported into the field.
Here is a screenshot of LC Designer ES2, which is slightly different for earlier versions, but the basic process is the same.
Go through each field and change 'No data binding' / 'None' to 'Use the name' / 'Normal '.
Then when you are proposing and import, data populates the fields.
Hope that helps,
Niall

I scanned a form and when I open it with Microsoft Works word processor processor, I can't fill in the information. It scanned on a HP printer scanner and it appears as a tiff document, but I can't complete the informatim.
Hello
TIFF format means "Tagged Image File Format" you can not change or fill in the text in this format. I suggest you download the. PDF form once again and then fill out the form and save it and then parse the file to TIFF.
Alternatively, you can try to convert the file to TIFF to word. I suggest you to search Tiff converter for word online and try to convert.
With the help of third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.
