Save PDF or Get XML of independent form data
Greetings,
We are working on a project where we have a LiveCycle form that is bound to a schema. We also have access to LiveCycle services ARE forms and COME out.
When a LiveCycle form is accessible, we send our XML pending applications and the form in the service template ARE forms, to get our form of LiveCycle partially filled for the display of the end user.
The user then fills all remaining information and of 'Saved' the form, how we extract the XML using XFA locally (with SaveXML()) to write all changes to the database.
This is the issue that we have-
We must be able to take a copy of the completed PDF file to save (all entries by the data user included) on a file share, so we have a complete record of the information of the form that has been filled. Some of the fields on these forms are not related to our schema, because they could be fields that do not exist in our database, but still must be completed on the form and saved in PDF format.
The SaveXML() only returns related to the schema fields, so if we call the output with the original model and our XML result service, we have not all unrelated areas. In addition, our users use Acrobat Reader, that they may not be able to 'save forms with data '.
Given the services we have, and the features of LiveCycle - what can do us 'Save the PDF file'... just if we can capture that any file PDF that has been filled by a user?
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
GS
Nope need RE for that also! It is part of the same law.

Any tag field when I save a PDF file as XML
I'm new to Acrobat so I'm probably doing something really stupid. I have a PDF file I created with Acrobat
9 to a word document and the recognition of the fields used to get the fields of the form. When I try to save the file as a file XML, XML is generated and displayed in the values in the text field - but there is no field of <>or < value > tag in the xml file. Any ideas on the forum?

Adobe XI Pro has been updated to 11.0.14 last week. I think the Adobe Pro XI 11.0.14 update is the reason that I now get a script error when I try to save PDFs for SharePoint, anyone else having this problem? It was working fine before. I can drag / drop files PDF to other folders to SharePoint, but I can't "save under" SharePoint I get the can't read the script error. I went to see if I could uninstall the update and it won't let me uninstall it.
Hi Sierra,
Bug # 4117305 for the number of script with SharePoint error has been fixed in our next quarterly update.

Flash is not save changes to the .xml file.
Hello
I need to download a new version of my app on iOS, but the .xml file will not hold the new version I am writing on the 'AIR for iOS settings' window on Flash cc 2015. It keeps appearing as:
<? XML version = "1.0".
also when I try to download the new .ipa on iTunes Connect with the Application Loader, I get this message:
"" "ERROR-ITMS-4238:"redundant binary Upload. " «"" "" There is already a binary download with release ' 1.0.0' train ' 1.0.0 ' "at SoftwareAssets/PreReleaseSoftwareAsset»»»
The problem is not of Application Loader or iTunes Connect as when I open again the .fla and check the window 'AIR for iOS parameters' he continues to display the 1.0 version over and over again. If Flash does not save changes to the .xml file.
And it happens with all my other apps Android or iOS, old and new versions, all appear as <? XML version is "1.0" on the .xml file.
Is anyone know how can I solve this problem?
Thank you.
Hi Pablopi,
The version you make reference to is the XML version. What to change is the node called "versionNumber".
So, try to replace
1.0.0 1.0.1 . -
Cannot save PDF revisions in Acrobat Reader ms.
I downloaded a pdf file of my account of Friesen press for reviews and the Adobe Acrobat Reader (link provided) domain controller. When I open the doc and start working on it, I can't save the file. After trying three different ways (save, save under and hit the Save icon), I get the same message: a big empty box with Save you at the top and (nothing else.) FP is a free publication service and manages hundreds of these files all the time. I got a call and email in them, but they are not great at quick responses. Meanwhile, I have to get this book outta my life! Any suggestions? FP told me I did not need to get the Acrobat Reader paid domain controller.
Hi ErinScullion,
Try this: -.
The default "Save as" dialog Acrobat DC is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:
I would like to know if it works.
Kind regards

How a person who uses Adobe Reader save dependent drop-down information in a form that I created?
HI, I created an order form in Acrobat X Pro (Windows 8, 64-bit) using the functionality of the forms, and everything works fine - except a question.
In the form, there are drop-down lists dependent it is when a user selects an option in the box 1, then determines options in box 2. I got fishing trawl Google for Javascript code to achieve this, but everything works perfectly now.
My problem is when I save the form with "Reader Extended PDF > activate additional features ', when the form is opened in the drive, all the data can be saved except for the data in the fields in the drop-down list. When the saved form is reopened, these drop-down lists are empty.
Can what steps I take to activate the menu drop-down information be saved this way?
Any help much appreciated!
The problem is with the doc-level outside the function code. This part runs whenever the file is opened, so it resets the value selected from the "box1".
The question is if you really need... If the elements do not change then there is no reason to do it more than once, and these values are not used anywhere else in the code. I would recommend just the two first lines of this comment out code and if you have to update the list, and then make the console (or manually).

Interactive pdf Acrobat posing falsely as a form...
I have an interactive pdf I created 36 page. I created the buttons in InDesign CC, and that's all just buttons not form elements too. When I write the pdf up to p18, that's fine, but when I try to write the whole 36 pages of the file PDF opens with the purple "Please fill out the form" bar. Is not a form and it's driving me crazy because the customer, I know, quite rightly do not want that. When I exported the InDesign files two separate pdfs (each 18 pages long) the 'form' of prurple bar do not appear - everything was fine and that she should be in other words. When I combined these two halves, however, the final pdf file had the purple bar "form"! Grrr! When I click on the button "highlight fields" nothing does highlight, so no clues here! It may be something to do with the size (as the No. pages) but I have no idea why. It's totally weird when I save as two halves or half a purple bar "forms", but if I export all 36 pages at once or I combine the two half-PDF to a doc, then Acrobat treats as a form - but without all the fields highlighted. Is someone pleae knows what is happening? Someone had appropriate experience? Help, please!
This happens when there are 100 or more buttons and the buttons are actually a type of form field. What you can do to prevent it, is add the standard password security and restrict filling out forms. The buttons still work, but the message will not appear.

Enumeration of the fields of form data in a PDF file
Hey there,
I have an existing VS C++ application and I would like to add the ability to enumerate all fields of form data in an existing PDF file. Before saying anything more, I must admit that I am a total newbie to Adobe technology. This fact will probably be quite obvious in a few sentences: - D.
In any case, I think I should use the portion of the IAC to the API of Acrobat. I had downloaded the SDK of X, and I found the files acrobat.h and acrobat.cpp that provide the CAcroApp wrapper. I am able to create this object as follows...
Try
{
IUnknown * punkAcrobat;
IDispatch * pdispAcrobat;
CLSID clsidAcrobat;
CLSIDFromProgID (L "AcroExch.App", & clsidAcrobat);
Create an instance of Acrobat and
get a ptr to its IUnknown interface
HR =: CoCreateInstance (clsidAcrobat, NULL, CLSCTX_SERVER,
IID_IUnknown, (void *) & punkAcrobat);
If (FAILED (hr)) up at the time.
Get the IDispatch interface for automation...
HR = m_punkAcrobat-> QueryInterface (IID_IDispatch, (void *) & pdispAcrobat);
If (FAILED (hr)) up at the time.
CAcroApp aa (ab.m_pDispAcrobat); comes from acrobat.h
AA. Show();
AA. Masquer();
AA. Exit();
}
catch (HRESULT hrException)
{
HR = hrException;
}
Life is good. Now, to enumerate the data fields of form (appropriate terminology?) in a PDF file, I * think * I need to get a pointer to the AFormAut.App COM interface. Of course, I can do this, as I've done above and, in fact, I have and it works. But then I would have some sort of sweet wrapper handy for this interface - just like the wrappers in acrobat.h. I also want a pony for Christmas! - D... anywayyyyy, such a wrapper is there? Can you give me some tips on how to get from there where I am above that it is able to call the method ExportAsFDF (I think that's what I need)?
As I said, I'm a newbie; so be nice .
Regards and thanks in advance!
Using AcroAVDoc instead of AcroPDDoc, the get_fields method seems to work. Perhaps one can post an example of MFC project as soon as I get this job.

How can I get Firefox 9.0.1 to remember form data? I use Windows XP. Yes, I already looked under tools/options/privacy and don't see anything useful. I don't see that 'monitoring' and 'bar' on the Privacy tab. The previous version I was using shape data stored without any problem. I can't get 9.0.1 to remind OF THE form data.
'Re missing you the section history of this window. See the screenshot I posted below.
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
