      Can we edit or convert PDF to enable sorting etc?

          Hi;

           

          I am not really clear on what you are asking.  Can you describe your work flow a little more?  Where is the PDF from?  Is it a PDF from FormsCentral or one you want to use in FormsCentral using the Import PDF feature?

           

          Thanks,

          Josh

            Hi Josh,

             

            It would be an import and is an OEM form (from one of our Manufacturers) with equipment data by model and coverage expiration. We would like to be able to Sort and/or Filter in excel.

             

             

             

            I hope this helps.

              Using the Import PDF feature the form submissions are collected by FormsCentral and available in a Table on the "View Response" tab that can be sorted and filtered like in Excel, and can also be exported to Excel from their.

              This tutorial goes over exporting data from the View Responses tab in FormsCentral to Excel (also PDF and CSV): http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1383

              This is a tutorial of the Import PDF feature: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2654

               

              You can also try the Import PDF feature out in a Free account to see how it works for your form.

               

              The ability to export to Excel from your PDF or how you can sort/filter in Excel isn't changed by using the Import PDF featuer in FormsCentral, to learn more about exporting data and sorting in Excel you might post in the Acrobat Forms forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms

               

              Thanks,

              Josh
