Importing data from pdf forms

Thank in advance anyone who can help me with this problem.

I need to create a web application involving pdf forms. My need starts with customers downloading some pdf forms. Most of these pdf forms have a signature field (must be the handwritten signature). These forms must be hosted in the web application where users fill out forms. Some fields in these forms are pre-populated based on the end users of the information (from database). (And I know we can do this with iText as I already used). End users must complete the rest of the form and the Panel at the bottom (if they use a phone or Tablet).

The challenge now is to get all of these data as well as the signature on the request (or at least the snapshot of the form).  Is where it miss me the point and hope that if you could help. So far, I tried a few tools and APIs (iText, pdf.js,...), but none of them are promising or satisfying the requirements.

You have a tool or approach to achieve this?

  • Importing data from XML form in hidden form fields & making it visible if the book value

    Hello:

    I export the data in the form submitted, and important in the 2nd-> 3-> etc... Forms, however, a lot of these areas, I want to be kept hidden, unless they have a value. When I import data from field of forms 1, it will be smooth, however if the fields are hidden, you must go through the selection of checkboxes to make it visible again or just do all visible all the time. I was wondering if there is a feature or coding that would go in the direction of: Once imported XML favorite on click on the button "Update fields", go through fields and if hidden fields now have a value do what subform/Sub-sous-form Visible.

    The reason is that if you do have an incident report form which can take 10 names of employees, but only 2 were involved in an incident, it would look very cluttering on the survey form, if there are 10 fields name employee, 10 fields, 10 fields of plane location, etc... But only 2 employees have been involved in a minor incident on the incident report form which does not imply anything else.

    Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for gratefull to any answer.

  • Import data from microsoft great Adobe acrobat XI

    Hello

    I am referring to an object of the adobe support page. German Version can be found here. A quote from the site are under discussion.

    I want to import data from an excel sheet in adobe pdf format. I created some forms that have the same names as the columns (to be more precise: the first line) in the excel worksheet. How I export data from excel?

    I exported the "tab-separated-Tex", but I found an error in adobe saying that the txt could not be imported. Can someone tell me how to export the data correctly?

    Is there another way?

    Thank you very much! Questions or remarks are welcome!

    Edit1: I would appreciate a person displaying a file "adobe acrobat" forms a txt for example. That make you much easier, if all goes well. Thank you!

    Import form data

    In some stream work, particular scenarios present filled with forms as data only files and not as a complete PDF files. These files are not PDFs, but use a different format, such as FDF or XML. You can view the data provided by an individual recipient in the context of the PDF by opening the original file and importing the information contained in the data file.

    1. In Acrobat, open the PDF form in which you want to import data.
    2. Choose Tools > forms > clear form.
      Note: When you import data from another file into a PDF form, the imported data will replace any information that was previously included in individual form fields. However, if the imported data file contains one or more blank form fields, the import does not clear the original data.

    3. Choose Tools > forms > more form Options > manage form data > import data.
    4. In the Select file containing Form Data dialog, select a format in the file of Type corresponding to the data file to import. Locate and select the file, and then click Open.

      Note: Some formats are only available for specific types of PDF forms, depending on the application used to create the form, like Acrobat or Designer ES2. Data you're importing a text (.txt) file must be formatted in rows, delimited by tabs that form columns.

    I think it would be better for you to put a blank form and a sample data file so that we can test it and check why it does not work.

  • Import data from Excel

    Is it possible to import data from Excel into a pdf form.

    I have some text on a form fields that need to be filled automatically.

    Thanks in advance.

    : )

    To manually import from Excel, the simplest method is to first convert a spreadsheet to a tabs-delimited text file. The first line of the sheet must be the exact field names (case matters) corresponding to the data in the following lines.

    In Acrobat 9, you can import a row of data from the file by selecting: forms > manage form data > import data...

    and select the file, then one row of data in the file.

    If you want to do it automatically or by any other non-manual method, post again and provide more information.

  • Import data from a spreadsheet on the web to the Numbers worksheet

    How can I import data from a spreadsheet on the net in a Numbers spreadsheet, keeping its original format? It is not a problem when you use Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice spreadsheet and had no problem when I was with Appleworks6. When I try in number, however, the data which is along a line on the original worksheet comes to the bottom of the left column, which is completely useless.

    copy the line then pasted in numbers (command C and V command) has always worked well.

    The line of values must be copied from a continuous row of cells.

    If you provide a link to a spreadsheet, I can test it on my machine.

  • Vista cannot import data from Taxcut document initially used in Windows XP in 2008. In fact, it is impossible to open the same (initialize) this document. How can I change this?

    How can I get VISTA to open or import data from a document of Taxcut created in 2008 in Windows XP. The document is installed under VISTA, but VISTA is not able to open it or even recognize it.

    You must Taxcut 2008 installed on the system to open the file - it needs the program to open the file (the file itself is not enough - he needs the program to open it - and it should probably be the same year to open it but it may work to the year next to import).  It is possible that you can import data from the file in a later version of the software (I can do it with TurboTax to carry on information from previous years - although I've never tried to do by skipping a year).  According to the Center for Comptibility Vista, Taxcut should be compatible with Vista, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=Taxcut , so that shouldn't be the problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Message from blackBerry Smartphones: the page you requested was created using data from the form.

    While closing a link to expedia.ca a message come to say: the page you requested was created using data from the form. This page is no longer available.  If you resend the data, any action that has been specified by the form will be repeated.  You want to resubmit the data?  When I click Yes or no, nothing happens except that the message just reappears.  I can't get rid of it so I can't do anything else on my phone, except to answer a call if someone calls me.  How can I get rid of this message from my phone?  I tried to turn it works... even by leaving off the coast for 5 minutes before turning turn it back on.  I can't even check my OS because I do not what anyone on my phone.  I hope someone can help me with this.

    Have you tried a battery pull?  This should fix a problem as you described.

    With your phone, remove the battery, then replace a minute later.  This will do all sorts of wonderful things to your phone for free unclaimed memory, delete no cited source points and make your phone run smoothly.

    Try it and let us know if it does the trick.
