Reflections on the creation of data PDF reports?

We have a number of people to enter data in and sign forms to fill permanently (maybe 20 PDFs a day) you have ideas on how to merge the data in a single file for analysis?

It would be ideal that we could get the data in a SharePoint 2007 somehow automated list.  However, a single Excel file would work too.

I would like to make this as painless (and transparent) for users as possible.

We use Adobe Pro XI.

The easier I can see for this is for each user to:

1. come with a unique file name

2. save the file in PDF format in order to sign

3 save the file as an Excel file

This must happen for each full PDF.

Then, someone must run a program allows to analyze all the excel files and extract the data in a single excel workbook.

Is there an easier way?

Acrobat allows you to extract the data in a collection of files PDF (or (Marlon X)) and create a CSV file that can be read by Excel. 11 Acrobat, select: Tools > forms > more shape Options > merge data files into spreadsheet.

  • Equivalent 'Field of the Image' LiveCycle in the creation of InDesign PDF form?

    LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "field of the Image. We add this field to the PDF files that we create so that our users can select and upload a JPEG image in their PDF with Adobe Reader.

    Now, we would like to use InDesign to produce the same files in PDF form as an alternative to the use of LiveCycle. InDesign has a form like 'Field of the Image' field of the LiveCycle? We have not yet found.

    In other words, does anyone know in InDesign create a field in the PDF forms that has the same 'Field of the Image' features of LiveCycle? LiveCycle field works in Adobe Reader enabled files and allows the JPEG format, among other things.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality using JavaScript, but Acrobat Pro created documents only allow Adobe Reader to import PDFs, no JPEG or other image formats. If Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle to create our PDF files. We would like to know if we rule out InDesign, too.

    As Peter says it has no way to do this using InDesign.

  • Print the pages as a PDF report

    Hi guys,.

  • What product to use for the creation of a PDF file?

    Which adobe product, we usually use to create a PDF file, it's as easy as microsoft word? Please don't laugh at me, I need to learn it :)

    I need more these days as Im dealing with (translation) therefore need to lock files sometimes against copying or extraction etc...

    Message edited by Jochem van Dieten: links removed

    It is important to understand what is a PDF file. You do not create a PDF file in the same way that you would create a Word file, it is not an editable format. You create your document in the software that you usually use (Word, Excel, InDesign, Photoshop, etc.) can export a PDF file, as if you were printing a paper copy. If you need to make changes, make you to the original document and export PDF one another.

    Acrobat will install plugins for Office and Creative Suite programs (InDesign, Framemaker, etc.) will export PDF files even if Acrobat is not installed, but most of the time users does not really "in" Acrobat except to make things with forms or advanced security features. You cannot open Acrobat and start typing a letter as you can in Word.

    Word has in fact already a function save slot, but it is very limited with respect to the content of PDF files and options to optimize, secure and accessible.

  • Get the appearance of a PDF report.

    Hi all

    I use the activeX control on acrobat in c#. Is it possible for me to get a) the aspect ratio of the pdf that I opened (be it in the activex control, or other programmable) and b) the zoom level on the current document?

    If not, is there a link that anyone could provide in pdf format header maybe I can analyze myself.

    The PDF standard is ISO 32000-1 and can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf>.  There is "simple header", it is a structured file format and you will need to read and analyze many aspects of it.

    In addition, be aware that EACH PAGE of a PDF document is the only - so that everyone can have his own size, scale, orientation, etc..

    Hello

    The problem is due to the "OR" condition (I did not pay attention to it earlier).

    Because of this condition, your query is given beyond 7 days recovery. You need to rewrite the code as:

    ALM_OG_CAMPAIGN_CODE in ('MED', 'MED1')
    

    Instead of

       and ALM_OG_CAMPAIGN_CODE = 'MED'
         OR ALM_OG_CAMPAIGN_CODE = 'MED1';
    

    This will do the magic for you.

  • How to get the creation Date of the site recorded for the footer output (printing to PDF)?

    If you go to Page Setup in Firefox, the option for the footer is the date and/or time of output. I don't want today's date that its print, but would rather than the Date of the creation of this web session saved as it is important to display this information with a legal matter. The research that has been done on a computer is out of date of creation down instead. I know that I could add the date by using the custom field for a footer in the Page options but prefer automated sound somehow when you print to a PDF (CutePDF). Please let me know.

    Thank you

    You might be able to automate this process if you open your PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Pro and make sure that the PDF file has a date of receipt:

  • Why Lightroom does not change the creation date of the file? (Mac OS)

    I find that Lightroom changes the creation of files present during the incorporation of metadata. I noticed that this behavior is different from the bridge, which reaches to write metadata changes to the file without affecting the creation date, affecting only the modification date.

    I read in other threads that it doesn't matter when even because moving files between disks will write a new file and, therefore, a new date of creation, but if this can be true in some systems (I don't know) is certainly not the case with Mac OS. For example, I have files dating back at least 1998 which have been moved from disc to disc to disc but still retain their original creation date. Which is as it should be. For many of my older images, there seems to be no capture embedded recognizable don't date anyway, so the creation date of the file is the single timestamp.

    It seems quite logical that the modified date of a file must be updated to take into account that the file has been modified (for example if adding metadata), but it seems to make sense that the date of creation of the file should be kept as the date, this file has been created. Changing them both on the same date seems to be a needless loss of information.

    Some would say that the process of adding metadata to a file creates a new file, the creation date must be updated to reflect this. But I would say that the creation date should be which would include a normal user as the creation date. We do not expect the creation date to change everything simply because a file is rewritten to the disk (for example when the defragmentation), however technically accurate, it would be to say that it is a newly created file. And the difference in behavior between Bridge and Lightroom shows that there is some confusion on this subject.

    Photo software ignores generally the operating system created by file-modification dates, and when he is not ignoring them, treated generally in a non-standard way that varies from one program to a program.  Rather than rely on the dates of the files of the operating system, the photo industry has defined fields of metadata with all sorts of specific photos dates: capture date/time (when the shutter button is depressed), date/time of scanning (when a movie or a print image was scanned digitally), date/time software photo altered image or metadata date/time of GPS location.   While some photo software will attempt to maintain the dates of file-created and - updated, many programs and services Web will not (including, but not limited to, LR).  In addition, many utilities files not always to preserve created and set dates to day that you move, copy it, backup and restore files.

    Therefore, I highly recommend that if you care photo dates and times (as I do), so no matter which photo software you use, you store the dates of capture in pictures industry standard metadata by using the tools provided by LR and other photo software.   In this way, you migrate the program to the program over the years, are you more likely to preserve that important metadata.

    Old photos and scans without that metadata, when you first import into LR, LR will assume that the capture time is the hour of the modified file.  LR to rewrite the date of capture of metadata in the file by selecting and making the metadata you can do > edit Capture time, clicking OK and then by metadata > save metadata to file. You can do it in batch - choose all your old photos and make metadata > edit Capture time, click OK, to metadata > save metadata to file.  LR will affect its time updated each file capture time.   If you want to set the time captured in the file create time, select this option in the window change the Capture time before clicking OK.  But beware that many Windows and Mac file utilities cannot preserve create time, even if they retain changed time, in order to create your files time can be wrong.   And of course, make sure that your backups are up to date and valid before making any new procedure file with which you aren't familiar.

    But if you really want to use non-standard file dates to keep your metadata information, and you want Adobe to modify accordingly the LR, so please give your opinion and vote on it in the Adobe official feedback forum: Bug report: Lightroom modifies the image files creation date. This forum is a user forum in which is rarely involved Adobe, Adobe said they read every post in the forum comments (and sometimes they respond).

  • LabVIEW DIAdem PDF report data export

    Im trying to export a LabVIEW data XY graph in DIAdem. I can load a layout of specific report programmatically and display data on the XY graph successfully, however I woud also like to allow the user in LV change the axis of the graph as well as the data that applies are displayed in the PDF report. The type of displayed diagrams are measures acoustic frequency for example response. The axis x are not the problem as it is auto-scaling, the y-axis are interesting in this case. I would like to display + 10 dB to-60 dB for example. Is it possible programmatically by using a script that she controlled by LV somehow?

    The only way I could really think was to cut the table to + 10 dB to-60 dB for example and export to DIAdem where the value axis are set to auto-scaling... are there other methods?

    Secondly, I would like to create a single PDF with multiple pages for the different measures which will take place in a series of tests. Is it possible without the help of a kind of external application to merge them after?

    Third, import of tables from text in a 2D array any... I have a table 2D (2 x 20) with about 20 metrics that I want to display in the report. Can I use an object in DIAdem for this? The only other method I know that work is to define multiple fields 'free text' and use the 'Text values' entry of report VI DIAdem to fill these fields... is there anything faster or more effective? The great thing about importing a text to a single 2D table object table is the table can have different values/properties and sizes every time.

    Fourthly, I believe that NEITHER should lead to a kind of PDF Toolbox which allows vector graphics and features that I described above... I know the PDF Carya Toolbox, but I used the demo version and looked at the resolution of the graphics to find that they were not vector as I had hoped. Its functionality to export a real problem that the generation of PDF report in this form using tiara, to pay a price to pay 1000 euros using only the PDF file. I also believe that there is a single license too, so each automated system incorperates a 1000 euros license needed! is there another way with regard to the licenses/options? I'm sure many other developers feel the same way, as the generation of PDF in any industry is a must these days.

  • How to generate an output PDF report when the layout template is an Excel file in the editor of BI 11.1.1.7

    That's what I did...

    4. click on finished (and then saved the report)

    I select a file and the file > read > creation:

    but I can't change that here. Is it possible to change the date in "Create."

    The date of creation of a file cannot be changed.

  • Export videos without losing the creation date

    In pictures 1.0.1 I am trying to export worth several years of videos to put on an external hard drive to save space on my main machine, but when I export them (via drag + drop on the desktop), they lose their date of creation - and, therefore, their context. They have different types of files, but a digital SLR, the iphones and old camcorders.

    I found more questions concerning the pictures, where the creation date is stored in the EXIF data for the photo, but I can't find similar data for these videos using "Get Info" or Inspector of QT movie.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    export the unmodified original

    Videos have no EXIF data - only photos have EXIF/IPTC data - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format
