• Export form field data to Excel.

  I sent a few hundred contracts to sign.  I would now like to export form field data that have been collected in an excel file.  Any ideas?  Thank you

  Hello Juanm70734078,

  Did you send these documents using a library template? If Yes, then you can export a CSV file by going to the tab manage and unique model of library by clicking on the right, and click on the history tab and click Export data.

  Otherwise, you can go to each document signed on the tab manage and click the icon of the CSV file in front of each document respectively.

  Kind regards

• Export only some form field data

  Is it possible, using fields of form created in Acrobat Pro XI, to export only certain form field data to a worksheet while other form field data is not exported?

  Almost. Use this code:

  exportAsText ({invoke him: ["field1", "2", "scope 3"]});

  And Yes, this code can be attached to a button, for example.

• Hidden form fields - Landing Page Data Capture

  I'm trying to use 1 generic form on all landing pages we create for Webinar sign.  in order for me to pass the correct form by webinar data via the form of treatment to the module of the event concerned, I need to have a hidden field that contains the identifier of unique landing page.  What would it be?  If that's the name of the destination page, then what is the real call tag and how that I insert in the hidden field?

  the objective here is to have: 1 generic form used in webinar multiple landing pages that transmits data through several modules of the discipline concerned for each webinar.  See below for a brief scheme.

  Thank you!

  Quick question - is the landing page for each webinar on a canvas of separate campaign? If so, you can use the URL that contains the elqcampaignid to delimit the module in which Webinar to send it to. You simply need to add as a hidden field on the form, and then add the code to extract the value of the URL. You can find instructions and the code here: How to capture Sources referring to the Landing Pages and forms using query strings

  

  If they are not on separate canvases, you can use the same method as above, but it would just come with your own query string parameter to add to the url. Example: http://www.url.com?webinar=A

  In the example above, you just have to then a hidden form field "webinar" and update the code to reflect this hidden field. The key he ensure that's connecting to these landing pages then have this added query string.

• Auto form field change color/data from pronounce on another page

  

  Hello!

  I recently got help on the forums and was able to write javascript to change the form fill and border based on an entry of individuals (thanks!).  I am now to experience the problems that I continue to work on this document.  I drew a picture that illustrates 3 different results, its located above.  To explain what I need, here is how the form is supposed to work:

  1. a user enters the State of equipment on page 2, I make sure that only AAA, BBB, CCC or s/o became acceptable.  Each value changes the field of form as shown above and n/d is no change on the ground at all.

  2. based on the user to page 2 input, I'm trying to get a form field only read to a "general status" page to change the color and change its value based on these entries.

  The three columns above show the 3 possible outcomes of the general State of page 1, that is to say:

  1: date of AAA [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user entries are AAA (n/a which is not taken into account))

  2: date of BBB [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (user input contained one or more of the values BBB or CCC)

  3: date of CCC [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user input were CCC)

  I do this train to work and don't have adobe Adobe Acrobat XI worm: 11.0.13 at home.  Thanks for the help and if my description or photo is confusing, let me know and I can try to explain it differently.  Each column is a document, the document possible self doesn't have a 3 columns.

  J

  Let's see if I understand:

  1. the user enters 'AAA', and the color of the background/outline field turns green.

  2. the user enters "BBB", and the color of the background/outline field turn yellow.

  3. the user enters "CCC", and the color of the background/outline field turns red.

  4. the user enters "S/o", and the default color (it looks like teal) will be used

  4. If all the entries on page 2 are of the same color or the value "N/a", this color will be used for the field page 1

  5. If all the entries on page 2 are not the same color or the 'N/a', 'yellow' color value will be used for the field page 1

  Describes the behavior of the form?

  I would use a document level function to manage both the validation of the seizure and the choice of colors. The first part of the function (validation) is quite simple. The second part (setting the current color of field) is something that you already know how to do it. The third part, determine the color of a field of the general State is a little more complicated. I would like to look at all the fields that are not current on the ground - loop - (because you can just make a call to Doc.getField ()), then take the current information in the field of the event object in the validation script and determine what should be the status of the output (and then set the color accordingly).

  Something like this should work:

  function ValidateStatus() {
      // is the data entered either "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", or "N/A"?
      if (event.value == "AAA") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.green;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.green;
      } else if (event.value == "BBB") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.yellow;
      } else if (event.value == "CCC") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.red;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.red;
      } else if (event.value == "N/A" || event.value == "") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.cyan;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.cyan;
      } else {
          event.rc = false;
          app.alert("Only the values 'AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', or 'N/A' are allowed");
          return;
      }
  
      // set the field on page 1
      var fields = ["Status1", "Status2", "Status3", "Status4"];
      var theStatus = "N/A";
      for (var i in fields) {
          var v;
          if (fields[i] != event.target.name) {
              v = this.getField(fields[i]).value;
          }
          else {
              v = event.value;
          }
          if (v == "N/A" || v == "") {
              continue;
          }
          else if (theStatus == "N/A") {
              theStatus = v;
          }
          else if (theStatus != v) {
              theStatus = "BBB";
          }
      }
      var msg = theStatus + "\n" + this.getField("Date1").value;
      var theColor;
      if (theStatus == "CCC") {
          theColor = color.red
      } else if (theStatus == "BBB") {
          theColor = color.yellow;
      } else if (theStatus == "AAA") {
          theColor = color.green;
      } else {
          theColor = color.cyan;
      }
      var f = this.getField("OverallStatus");
      f.value = msg;
      f.fillColor = f.strokeColor = theColor;
  }
  

  You then call it in four areas as a custom validation script:

  ValidateStatus(event);
  

• The data record form field to sql server database. Point me in the right direction

  I have Acrobat XI Pro and you have downloaded the SDK of XI.   At my first form savable.  My goal is to store the data in PDF form fields in a database.

  Can someone point me in the right direction.  I used to do 7-8 years ago, but it seems that the technology has changed and therefore the tools.  Thank you.
  

  PDF forms are submitted to a URL, still something that HTML forms are subject to a URL. It is an action that put you on a button.

  With HTML forms, you can only apply to HTML. You can also do with the PDF and the back-end can be quite similar except that you not return HTML, because the reader do not understand.

  However, it is normal to choose one of the other formats of FDF or XFDF. These are the same as the formats that you can export as part of the management of the form, and you should get comfortable with before submitting form data export/import.

  There are libraries in order to analyze the FDF. XFDF is XML, if use you standard XML analysis techniques. In a new application, go with XFDF.

• Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF Tue Fill form with / date of the current day?

  I have a form for booking appointments, and here the date field to fill automatically with

  today's date and print it. I put in the format of the text field 'Date' and when I place the cursor in the

  today's date date field, poster. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.

  This action does need a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If Yes, where can I find that?

  Or y at - it another way to fit the text field (not counting as the current date by typing) to get the current date?

  Thank you.

  using iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB | OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 | Acrobat 8 Pro

  See example Acrobat JavaScript by Chris Dahl. The script can be an action script open document level or page to insert the date when the PDF file is open or use as a print action to fill the date just before printing the form. And the formatting of the field is 'None' because JavaScript applies the formatting.

• Convert the form field to the date format

  I have a form with date fields and you want to enter dates in this format: 03222012 and displayed it as: 12/03/2012. In other words, I don't want to have to put the slashes just in the number. I am using Adobe Pro X and you prefer not to use the livecycle designer.

  One thing I would recommend is to validate that the original string is the right length before you do this, otherwise you may get incorrect date value.

  var str = event.value

  pieces of var = [];

  var chunkSize = 2;

  If (str.length == 6) {}

  so that {(str)

  If (str.length< chunksize)="">

  chunks.push (STR);

  break;

  } else {}

  chunks.push (str.substr (0, chunkSize));

  Str = str.substr (chunkSize);

  }

  Str = chunks.join('/')

  }

  Event.Value = str

  You can either keep the original value if the length of the string is not correct, I have, or have it display something like "invalid."

• Options for data of form field read/write with VBA/player

  I have a project that requires read and write field data in a form by using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works fine with the full version of Acrobat, but the customer, so that this project is use the drive. I'm looking for suggestions for what options I should be able to access the data of the form field (I don't have other features other than access to the data in the field). Ideally, I would like a solution that does not require the customer to install something more to make it work, but I guess that's not possible without an additional installation.

  Y at - it a library that exists in the drive (or can be allowed to be installed on the client computer) which would be that data can be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?

  Is a plug-in for reader, or could be written, which would allow for this? A plug-in writing would certainly beyond my current capabilities, but I'm interested to know each as well as the choices that are available.

  Are there other options to do what I have to do?

  I had originally thought to export the form data and analyzed in the VBA program, but it would take a little more work to write the routine analysis instead of direct access to fields. In addition, it seems to me that export is not enabled in the player.

  Thanks for any idea that you may be able to provide.

  You can grant the PDFLibrary, is a C/C++ and not a VB/VBA on a library.  In addition, you can find the purchase of copies of Adobe Acrobat cost is cheaper than the license of the library according to the number of units.

  As you note, Reader (also written in C/C++) plugins can be written, but they need approval from Adobe and they do not allow to add functionality to Acrobat Reader.  Since this is what you would do, you would not get approval.

• Help with button for search data &amp; put in form fields

  I thought clicking on a button to fill out a few fields of the form with the data of a previous record would be simple, but there is something it clutter. I created 3 components are:
  
  1. a button "Copy last Pickup & drop-off Instructions" in my form box. It sets the button ask the value of 'COPY_PICKUP_DROPOFF '.
  
  2. a conditional branch, which sets fire ' on submit after treatment "conditional on the button, which branches off to the same page, and affects the application of 'COPY_PICKUP_DROPOFF '.
  
  3. a process (On Load - after header) Page that defines the shape of field values, that is subordinated to the request = COPY_PICKUP_DROPOFF (Type of Condition: Request = 1 Expression). Finally, it queries the database, but now the PL/SQL to define the shape of the field values is very basic:
  
  Start
  : P71_PICKUP_INSTRUCTIONS: = "debug set PICKUP INSTRUCTIONS."
  : P71_DROPOFF_INSTRUCTIONS: = "debug set DROP-OFF INSTRUCTIONS."
  end;
  
  Can anyone spot what I am missing which is required for this configuration to work? In that time by pressing the button submits the page but not to fill the form fields, do not raise errors.

  Hi Mark,
  I do not see the code for this link, so can't do any real investigation myself.
  In debug mode, when you click on 'Copy last Pickup and drop-off Instructions', you see that the application is actually the value?
  What is the source of the items you want to refresh? Populated each time or only when it is null?
  Cheers, Rob

• 2 fields of form, same data except a prefix and a suffix

  I have a 2 form fields. The user will enter information (order number) in zone 1. Zone 2 will be a barcode policy that requires the same figures, except with an asterisk starting and ending asterisk. These asterisks may not appear in zone 1. The number of digits appearing in the two fields vary in length from 6 to 18 digits.

  Example: field 1:123456 > area 2: * 123456 *

  Is it possible to have 2 auto fill with 1 zone information field and add asterisks?
  

  You can configure a custom script calculate for the second field is something like:

  Get the value of the first field

  var v = getField("Field_1").valueAsString;

  Add asterisks attack / leak if not empty

  Event.Value = v? "*" + v + "*" : "";

  Replace "Field 1" with the actual name of the field.

• Problem with forms and data replication

  Hello

  I made a couple of documents more early where I used forms and specificely textfields. The documents have two parts, one for teachers and one for students (a small certificate). The idea is to fill the data in a part of the document, and transfers this information to the corresponding field. It worked before, I just named the fields exactly the same thing.

  Now, I do another one of these documents and it doesn't work anymore - information does not already exist. Old documents, which worked before, does not work if I export them again... I think that the program has been updated since the old documents were made. Does anyone know how to fix this? And I apologize for the mistakes of language

  There seems to be a bug (feature? surely not!) in the last update of InDesign (2015.4) that if two fields in InDesign are defined to have the same name, they are renamed to export.

  This means that in Acrobat, these two fields will have different names.

  This is why the text field does not appear in the other field - to do this, they must have the same name and the latest version of InDesign broke it.

  Workaround for now is to rename the fields in Acrobat, so that they have the same name again. Then, you should find that the text is reproduced from one field to another as before.
