However, any decorative or double underlines in the Word document are converted to single underlines in the resulting form template. Character styles and text effects Superscript, subscript, and single strikethrough formatting styles are preserved during the conversion process.
Other formatting styles and effects, including outlined text, hidden text, and shadow formatting, are discarded during the conversion process. Embossed or engraved text is converted to gray text in the resulting form template. Section settings In Word, sections are used to vary the layout for a document within a page or between pages.
InfoPath does not support these types of sections, which are discarded during the conversion process. Any settings that are applied to the first section in the Word document are applied to the resulting InfoPath form template. Header and footer formatting Header and footer text in the Word document will be converted to header and footer text in the resulting InfoPath form template. Some character formatting may be discarded during the conversion process.
For example, if you used both bold and italic formatting in the header of a Word document, InfoPath will use the first formatting style it encounters in the resulting form template and discard the remaining formatting.
Similarly, any settings that are applied to the first header or footer section in the Word document are applied to the resulting header or footer text in the InfoPath form template. Font conversion Although InfoPath imports the fonts from a Word document when creating a new form template, if the fonts in the document are not available on the computer where you perform the import, alternate fonts will automatically be selected for the form template.
Negative page margins Negative top and bottom margins will be imported as 0. Negative margin, padding, and indent settings Negative margin, padding, and indent settings will be imported as 0. Note: If you are importing a Word document with restricted permission, you must have Full Control access to the document.
If you have only Read or Change access to the document, you will see an error message when you try to import it. To change the default import behavior, click Options , and then select the options that you want. If your Word document includes a table, InfoPath may convert it into a layout table or a repeating table in the resulting form template.
The type of table chosen depends on the design decisions you made in the Word document. You can use the following procedure to quickly change a converted layout table to a repeating table. You can use repeating tables to offer your users an extra degree of flexibility when filling out forms. When you use repeating tables, your form template doesn't have to show numerous blank rows when the user first opens it.
Instead, users typically see just one row and only add more when and if they need them. This saves space in the form and offers users an extra degree of personalization. To specify the header rows for the repeating table, enter a value in the Number of rows to keep as a table header box. You typically use the header row for column headings. To specify the footer rows for the repeating table, enter a value in the Number of rows to keep as a table footer box. Many tables do not include footer rows.
To specify the number of data rows to use, enter a value in the Number of repeating rows to include while filling out the form box. The data row is a row that can 'repeat' in the form as many times as necessary. Here's a great blog I found on how to do this, we do this at our company all the time and it works great!

However, both these options are not available for web-based forms. This article presents a technique that will enable you to convert web-based forms to PDF and allow users to display, save, and print web-based forms as PDF documents.
Retrieving the XML of a web-based form can be a challenge since such forms are hosted in a control on a web page. A web-based form can be hosted by: 1. Using the InfoPath Forms Services web page to host the form. Creating a custom ASP. NET page to host the form. In both cases, a control named XmlFormView is used to host the form on a web page.
The difference between the two methods is that while you have total control over a custom web page that you create, you do not have the same amount of control over the web page that is used by InfoPath Forms Services, since its code-behind is inaccessible to you.
It is recommended that you create your own custom ASP. The XmlFormView control has a property named XmlForm, which gives you a reference to the main data source of the form and allows you to retrieve the XML of the form. NET page that is hosting it. To trigger the NotifyHost event, you must use the NotifyHost method of the XmlForm class in an event handler of a field on the form. The technique presented in this article uses the NotifyHost method and event to enable printing web-based forms to PDF.
An overview of how this technique works is shown in Figure 1 and is discussed in more detail in subsequent sections. Figure 1: Overview of printing a web-based form to PDF Creating and Publishing a Browser-Compatible Form Template [ Back To Top ] To implement the technique discussed in this article, you must either design a new browser-compatible form template or modify an existing one. The form template shown in Figure 2 is used throughout this article. It is browser-compatible and has the Main data source shown in Figure 3.
NET page. You must then write code in this event handler to: 3. Retrieve the XML of the form and store it in a Session variable.
Navigate to the ASP. You do not have to add any controls to the web form, but must remember to set the EnableSessionState property of the web form to True. The ASP. Last updated: Oct 13, Applies to: novaPDF Note: We strive to keep our articles as accurate as possible. Select the form template file. Go to File and click on Print In the Print window you should see the Multiple Views option already checked if this option is not displayed, it means that the form does not have multiple views or you are restricted from printing multiple views.
Clicking on Settings will also display which views are available and you can check the ones that you want printed to PDF as well as how to separate them in the PDF.
