• 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.

• Send form data to the database with scripted button

  I know not how to connect the form to an Access database. However, I do not want the form to connect to the database until the user clicks a button. When the user completes the form and clicks the button, I need the form to connect to the database and save form data in a new record. How script button to do this?

  Any help is appreciated.

  I think that you will need to use a layer between the two.  For example, LC, you can do a process that takes your data and stores it in your database.  Your form may submit to this process through SOAP and REST.

• How to NOT send some form data when the form is submitted

  Hello

  I created a PDF form with radio buttons in the Group and the boxes. When I the form of data, such as values using the submit by e-mail button to send form data as XML or merge data into a spreadsheet files, I'll see the data values for radio buttons and checkboxes.

  What I want here is to don't get the data values for some controls such as the boxes option, but no other controls like check boxes, in the XML or Excel worksheet after submission of the form. I know how to hide the controls in the form, but I have to the visible and active boxes on the form.

  Is there a way to hide or do not send form data when the form data is submitted?

  Thank you

  Hi Kyle,.

  That's exactly what I want! Once I have not selected any data binding, the field is in shape and active, but when submitted as XML or it merge with a spreadsheet, the field is gone.

  Forgive me if I didn't my self clear in my question. Answer you is straight to the point.

  Thank you very much!

• fill out my form data in my database table

  Howdy Hoo Experts,
  
  This is my second time using shapes and it is for me rocket science.
  
  I create a table (empty) and I used the wizard of forms to creata for her screen. Now how to fill out my form data in my table?
  
  Thanks for you advice.

  Jin
  If I have understood you.
  you used a valid database table, you have nothing to do to fill your table, just enter in values and press save.

  If you want to fill this table using a .csv file or like, you need to use webutil to download, it is many examples in this forum on how to achieve this.

• I need to simplify the csv of a pdf form data extraction

  I have a complex PDF with fields to fill out. Once these are met, I want to extract the data in the fields, for insertion into a database.

  I know that I can use the form to prepare, then more. Export data... will create a .fdf file. Then I can use Merge Data Files into spreadsheet... to generate a .csv file that contains all the data in. Then, I wrote code to extract this data and put it in my database of mssqlserver.

  Several steps are required and I'd like to simplify as much as possible.

  From the very beginning.

  1. when I select export data, I am presented with a dialog box that uses 'Adobe_data.fdf Test' as the default file name. This default can be changed? By default, he can name that I used last time?

  2. when I select merge data files into spreadsheet I am presented with a dialog box requesting the file. It cannot by default the file .fdf, that I just created? This dialog box includes a check box (last Include list of files to export data since) but I don't want the latest list, I want the .fdf file I just created by default. In addition, this procedure aims to 'fusion' of the data files. I want to just "merge" one file! The only reason I use it is it seems to be the only way to convert the .fdf in a (pseudo) - implemented) .csv file.

  3. when I click on 'Export' in the dialog box, I have to retype the name of the file .fdf, since this type of file is not a part of the 'save as type' so I can't return the name.

  4. This step ends with another dialog (export Progress) with a View file buttons now and dialogue narrow. I have to click the close dialog box.

  It sounds like a large number of steps, and it will be more difficult it should be to train someone to review these procedures.

  Is there a better (easier way?

  Thank you.

  You call with each click a 'step '? It is a bit exaggerated...

  Anyway, you export the values of a single file or several files? If a single file then this task can be scripted, Yes, and the script can be attached to a button that can be triggered by a simple click.

  If several files, then it is much more complicated and would require using an Action and a button, and I don't think that he will save "measures", compared to the original function.

• iPhone users cannot view PDF form data?

  I created a form that my staff can send quotes from our clients.

  The form is sent by e-mail to help submit a button of form as "PDF the complete document."

  I spent several days of testing of the form to make sure that everything worked properly and as far as I could tell everything seemed fine.

  Unfortuntately, several of our clients who have iPhones have informed us that the form is blank. None of the fields display data or information that my staff briefed.

  I have read several messages online and they all suggest that it is to do with the version of Adobe which is pre-installed on iOS devices. If Adobe Reader is downloaded on the iPhone must be correctly read the form.

  Is there a way to get around this? Ideally I don't want my customers having to download something before they can read our quote.

  Also, several of the fields have attached javascript who I want to keep, for example the "Link" text field (it has a javascript hyperlink attached). I have considered to be send quotes as a file .jpg instead, but that would mean losing these features that took so long to build in the citation.

  I have attached a demo version of my form where it is useful.

  Sample

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  I had suggested to flatten the form fields, which converts the content of the page regularly. There will be no interactive field after that well. It is possible to flattten only certain fields so that your script would continue to operate if the form is displayed in a PDF Viewer that is compatible, but that would require a custom script.

  Here is a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that allows you to flatten the fields: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  It can be customized in order to exclude some areas.

• Best idea practice; PDF forms to the Oracle database idea?

  Work on a kind of checklist of the form

  Most of the items is "Compliant", "Non-compliant", "not applicable".

  So with check all three boxes labeled 'item2' I get the behavior I want. Specifically, there are three options, but only one is allowed.

  Currently, the plan is to complete the document, save and print or send an email. So far so good.

  BUT...

  In the long run, it would be that data will by electronic mail in a format to an Oracle database.

  Question:

  What kind of logic should be fixed (and where) as 'for 'item2' choice of a single and even a universe of 3's [reply]

  I guess Javascript (not well versed in the present yet), but is there something simpler?

  Thank you

  Giving all the check boxes in the Group of the same name is the right approach.

  You must also give a unique export value in each box. This allows you to identify which box has been ticked. When the data is exported, the value of the field will be the value of exports from the enabled checkbox.

  If none of the check boxes in the group is selected, the field value will be equal to the string 'Off', but not 'off', false, or anything else.

• Extract PDF form data using JavaScript and write in the CSV file

  I received a PDF file with a form.  The form is * not * formatted as a table.  My requirement is to extract form field values and write into a CSV file that can be imported into Excel.  I tried using the menu item "Merge data from spreadsheet files" automated in Acrobat Pro, but the release includes both the labels and values.  I'm mostly just interested in the form field values.

  I would use JavaScript to extract the data from the form and learn JavaScript write CSV file (since I know what should look like the spreadsheet of end).  I got regarding the extraction of the fields in the form:

  this.getField("Today_s_Date").value;

  And the rest of this post: http://StackOverflow.com/questions/17422514/how-to-write-a-text-file-in-Acrobat-JavaScript , I tried to write to CSV using:

  var cMyC = "abc";

  var doc = this.createDataObject ({cName: "test.txt", cValue: cMyC});

  but I get the following error:

  "SyntaxError: syntax error".

  1:Console:Exec ".

  Ideally, I don't want to use a third-party tool online to make, because the data are sensitive.  But please let me know if you have any suggestions.  The ideal output is a CSV file that an end business user can open in Excel to see the format of spreadsheet of his choice.

  Did anyone done this before?  Open to hearing alternatives as well.  Thanks in advance!

  The code you have posted works fine for me in the JavaScript console, so I suspect the problem is something else. Where did he put the code and y at - he seized another code?

  In addition, if CSV is not a strong requirement, I would say that you use delimited by tabs instead. Fields normally cannot contain tab characters, this is a good qualifier to use. It will be also more reliable when you import in Excel. If you need to process the field data that may contain quotes, you need prepare correctly the string data and can use a JavaScript library like this: https://github.com/uselesscode/ucsv

  Hello

  You should take a look at the site of Stefan Cameron, which has many solutions to configure data connections. Search the worksheet in general and here: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/09/18/connecting-a-form-to-a-database/.

  However, please note that if users have Reader, then the shape will be active player using the full LC Reader Extensions Server component. Extending the form in Acrobat will not work.

  Hope that helps,

• Send pdf form variables in the browser

  Hello

  I created a form, order.pdf and it seems to send everything very well to the URL I specify (php file), and the variables go very well.

  However, when I download the file on a web server and then access the order.pdf by a link to the pdf file opens in the browser, the Send button does nothing.

  Any ideas?

  Since you're using Chrome, if it's using its built-in PDF as opposed to Acrobat or Reader Viewer? Propose actions do not seem to work when the viewer of PDF of Chrome is used.

• Get data from SQL database

  Hello

  I'm stil trying to get some basic information stored in a database on my SQL Server table.

  I can do this by incorporating an Applescript script perform the command shell "curl" like below:

  myFullScriptString = "shell script \"curl-0 localhost/asset.php?asset_id="+assetID+"\"";""

  myForceError = app.doScript (myFullScriptString, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);

  Return (myForceError);

  but I don't want to be limited to OSX.

  Is there a way that this can be put in a native socket comment using a structure like below?

  response = "";

  Conn = new Socket();

  Conn.Open ("192.168.91.184:8888");

  Conn.Write ("" GET myfile.php? "') + variousVariable + "HTTP/1.0\n\n");

  response = conn.read (999999);

  Conn.Close;

  See you soon

  Roy

  conn.write(" GET /getassetstatus.php?enc=10.1.1.234~38~11~13446~PASSWORD");
  

  I do not know what is the 'GET', and the code that I used as base had "HTTP/1.0\n\n" at the end of the url.

  With all my tests, the response variable is always empty.

  You need the HTTP/1.0\n\n ! Why did you take it? Check the spec, Protocol http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.

  You also have a space left that seems wrong. So:

  conn.write("GET /getassetstatus.php?enc=10.1.1.234~38~11~13446~PASSWORD HTTP/1.0\n\n")
  

• 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.

• Send the form as a PDF file

  Hello

  I created a PDF document to be completed using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for MAC and the bottom of the form, I added a button to send the form.  This form is being completed by employees using Adobe Acrobat Reader.  They must complete the form and click on send form sent to the correct email address.

  Like "Button properties", I went into the ACTION tab and configure the following:

  SELECT TRIGGER: Mouse upwards

  SELECTION ACTION: Submit a form

  SUBMIT the FORM A properties, I put everything that this way:

  ENTER THE link URL: mailto: [email protected]

  Export FORMAT: PDF of the entire document

  The problem I have is when the form is completed by the employees, they get an error message saying: it cannot be sent.  I searched the web and found out that Acrobat Reader can't send PDF Forms.  I tried to change the option to export to FDF, XFDF or HTML FORMAT, but none of them worked...

  I'm sure that there is a way to configure my form to send it (once completed) average of acrobat reader but I can't find how to do this.  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your time!
