Organize PDF fields to populate the columns in the order in Excel

I created a PDF form to transfer customer data received by the *.xml format, but the headers of the columns (field names) and data (field entries) fill on the same line in Excel.  Is there a way to define a the names of the fields to fill in a specific order in the first line and field entries to fill in the second row?  If not, is there a simple function to rearrange the data in Excel?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you export data to a text file, it will be a file delimited by tabs that you can open in Excel with the field names in the first row and their values in the second.

If you want to customize the order of the fields, you must use a script, however.

  • How to create a data base so that PDF forms will populate the database, because they are submitted?

    I am trying to create PDF forms that will be filled by several members of an organization. I want to be transmitted electronically and then complete a database so that the data does not have to be reintegrated into a database.

    I usually use Microsoft access but certainly know how to use the values separated by comma (CSV) or Microsoft Excel.

    Currently, I use Acrobat X Pro.

    Acrobat has a built-in feature that will create a CSV file for a range of responses that you receive, full PDF or data files (FDF). In Acrobat 10 you would select: Tools > forms > more shape Options > manage form data > merge data files into spreadsheet

    If you have distributed the form so that you receive responses in the Tracker, there is an option export to CSV so when displaying answers.

  • How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Help, please! Thank you!

    How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Here's a sample:

    _ Digital Signature___ (signs), Date (Auto-remplit)

    Under field properties of the signature on the signature tab, you can use a custom script, like this:

    this.getField("Date").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

    You know, however, that a digital signature always displays the date and time, it has been applied?

  • I have created a form in Indesign. Is there a way to create the default text in a text field that displays the interactive pdf "insert text here" in the text field?

    I have created a form for the company, so that I work. It is a form that will be used in several offices and has buttons, drop downs and text fields. One of the text fields has a requirement that when the PDF file is opened, the text field has something written in there already, as an example (and one only) INSERT the TEXT HERE. I created the text field in Indesign and used the text tool to type in the area of the body-copy required. After that I have to export it as an interactive PDF, text in the text field disappeared.

    Drop-down lists give an option for a default choice, but I don't see a way to create default text in the Panel of buttons and forms for text fields. Is there a workaround or a hidden feature?

    Thank you!

  • PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

    I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

    Here's the problem:

    When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

    Thank you!

    Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

    Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

    Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

    There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

    -Extract all data from a single file can be done via the tools - forms - more form Options - export data...

    -Extract some data from a single file will require a script to measure.

  • Keep adding values to the PDF-field

    Hello

    I have a PDF field called additional information which I have to add a set of data one line after another.

    For example:

    1 Visted Mexico in 2009 for 2 weeks.

    2 Visted Paraguay in 2011 for 5 days.

    3 and so on.

    Since these data must be assembled from different files, I am looping through the information and try to continue to add to this area.

    However I'm unable to add to the values in the field. Only the last line is affected.

    How can I activate the field to add more values line after line because they are assigned?

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you.

    To add, you take the current value and paste the new value at the end, then store it back. Add new lines if necessary.

  • PDF form field rectangle on the page coordinates

    Hello

    recently I came across a PDF file that had a form field (text) with the following rectangle:

    LowerLeft: 170; 850

    Superieurdroit: 475; 862

    The page itself was: 595; 841 while that MediaBox = CropBox = BleedBox = area of crop.

    The coordinate y is off the page so to speak.

    The Adobe reader displays the field at the top of the page, but within the limits of the top page.

    Maybe it than correct/fix it?

    My question is:

    1.) is this compatible pdf specification? (I did a quick search but couldn't find something about it)

    2.) is that PDF/A-1 compliant (if that makes a difference)?

    Thank you

    ToM

    Yes, negative coords are perfectly valid.   Do not forget that those related to the MediaBox, which should not be journalAGOS to (0,0)

  • 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.

  • Update form field based on the evolution of the Organization

    Hello Forum!

    This is my first post, as I'm new to IOM, I'll try to explain the problem as specific as possible.

    The situation:

    We have some sso devices, each of them associated with an organization with a search, so when you create a user, based on the name of the Organization, a predefined resource is associated with the identity. For this, we use an adapter pre-populate the form of resources.
    The problem arises when we move from a user to other agencies, I can't get this update automatically value.
    I capture the event of organizational change using the process task 'User to move' with a dummy adapter that returns true and calls the "Update SSOAPPLIANCE" task that downloads the device identification information.
    All tasks are running, but the form process remains the same.

    Is it what can I do to make this process of automatic update?

    Thanks in advance.

    Xisco Fernández.

    Hello

    I'm not sure, but if your type of variable is this resource, then you can set it as a String.OIM will convert him at length internally. If this isn't the case, then Yes you must get the key of the resource COMPUTER in the name of the resource and then update in the form of process.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
