InfoPath Dev

Hi all!
Thanks to your advices, I'm finishing to develop a nice templete. To show my hard work to the boss, I need to present an xml form in pdf (or, at least MDI file)...my questions are: how is it possible to transform an xml form in a pdf file with original colours?

Thank you so much and happy birthday to me! :)

Well if you have the right Adobe software installed all you should have to do is print to PDF. File -> Print, Choose Adobe PDF as the target printer and hit "OK"...

I would think this is pretty trivial - was that really your question?

Hi,

If you don't have Adobe, you can look at cheaper alternatives such as:http://www.pdffactory.com

Thank u...my advice is downloading at:
http://www.software995.com/
this is free!
Anyway, i'd like to show also the colours of the shading...is is possible?

Ok, if you go to:
Tools -->Options --> General
you can set to print also background colours...thank you!

Just one thing: when I print the XML form, infopath changes the layout so thatsome fields are shorter and theso the text needs two lines instead of one...how can I print the exact form seen in my laptop screen?

Hi Marco,

Are you using the free software that you mentioned? All these pdf products are not all performing the same way.
Maybe you could try another one http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1195058,00.asp) to see if the problem still exists...

Hi Franck,
I noticed that if you click on Print Preview, the layout is quite different from the original one: some fields require two lines while in design mode or while you fill out the form the same fields require only one line...well, i suppose it's a problem of infopath, not of pdf creator :)
Thank you for the link, franck :)))
