We are currently in the process of migrating away from SharePoint 2007 and are looking for a way to migrate a large list of InfoPath forms that have been filled out either to PDF or to our new SharePoint. Any way to do this?
We're currently moving to SharePoint 2016.
You might want to use Muhimbi PDF Converter for SharePoint.
InfoPath Converter sees http://blog.muhimbi.com/2015/07/introducing-new-high-fidelity-infopath.html.
You can specify which views to convert / conversion specific views http://support.muhimbi.com/entries/21272887-how-can-i-specify-which-infopath-view-s-to-convert.

We've got an InfoPath floating around that was created in InfoPath 2010. It has been distributed to a handful of users through a SharePoint document library - unfortunately users with InfoPath 2007 aren't able to submit the form, or even open it. They receive the error message:
"The form template was created with a newer version of InfoPath.
This form template was created by InfoPath version 14.0.0."
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known procedure for converting .xsn files from version 14.0.0 to a version compatible with InfoPath 2007?
To open the form in InfoPath 2007, you will need to set the form's compatibility to InfoPath 2007. You can do so in the Form Options dialog. If you have used any newer features such as the People Picker, it may downgrade your user experience and force you to recreate some of these controls.
If you do not need some of the more advanced features of the InfoPath client, you may consider having your users access the form using the Web Browser interface. You can set this as the default open mode for the document library, or you can put "?OpenIn=Browser" in the URL when you open the form. See details on Microsoft's site about using query string parameters for Web-enabled forms.
It`s possible in sharepoint 2010, will set up a list of custom data source and then adapt new input forms from visual web parts which will replace the existing add, edit and delete forms?
if it is possible, then how?
Here is an article on MSDN that describes how to use InfoPath to customise the Display, Edit and New forms for external list data (business connectivity services).
Just like in SharePoint 2007 you can change the association of the New, Edit and Display forms using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010. You can create new ASPX pages, or use InfoPath forms as per the above. These ASPX pages can contain the functionality you want directly, or host visual web parts with the right permissions.
Here is an article that describes how to change the associated forms for a list with SharePoint Designer. I would recommend creating new pages and associating the list to those rather than trying to update the existing pages. This avoids any problems if the out of the box files are updated by a service pack / hotfix etc, and also allows you to revert to the out of the box forms if needed.
This question is about publishing infopath 2010 form to sharepoint server 2010.I designed a form and publish it to a sharepoint library successfully.When I try to fill the form and save it to sharepoint library,I am unable to do it? Can Some one say How to save the filled infopath form to a library in share point 2010?
Any help is appreciated?
To really work "the Sharepoint way" you need to use some things:
A forms library with your Infopath form set up as the form template. The forms library is already configured correctly, but just to make sure you need to set the InfoPath form to open in the browser (via the Forms Services and the Infopath webpart respectively) - to open the file in the browser is a setting on the forms library. Your form should not open with the Infopath Form filler.
The easiest way to test this is to open Infopath 2010 and to create a form based on the "Sharepoint Form Library" which sets up everything correctly for you.
In the save as dialog box of InfoPath filler, have you tried supplying:
http: <<SERVER_NAME>>/<<SITE>>..../<<FORM_LIBRARY NAME>>/<<FORM_NAME>>.xml
I don't know if I can edit a sharepoint list using Forms Services. Is it possible design Infopath Forms working with Sharepoint lists
In SharePoint 2010 (you did not mentioned the version) that is easy as cake, just hit Customize Form in the List Form and you're inside InfoPath with a editable version of the list.
In 2007 its more complicated, see this msdn article

I have designed the MS office infopath form, & stored in the my sharepoint site document library, (in fact i created new one). But when i want to open that form it direct redirect in MS office infopath with running form. Which i don't want. I want to open form in sharepoint site. How it is possible . Please guide me ....
The ability to display InfoPath natively in a browser is part of InfoPath Forms Services, which is only provided bundled with MOSS Enterprise, not MOSS Standard or the free WSS.
Forms Server is available as a separate license altogether as well, but there's no other mechanism to display InfoPath forms in a browser without rolling your own solution, which would be a rather complex undertaking.
Did you publish the form to a forms library or did you simply upload it? In order for Forms Services to render a form it must be published using InfoPath's File>>Publish command.
