Autodetect text form fields-How do you get it to find all field areas?
I have 50 pages, all identical. I created in InDesign and its simply just a chart that is about 50 lines with 4 columns. It was created as a table also and very clean. I want each of those cells to be converted to text form fields in Acrobat. When I run the auto detect, it finds every one except the column on the far right and one of the cells on the very bottom with all 50 pages. I really need this to autodetect these or else I will have to do all those missing ones manually and that is a TON I will have to do and give unique names also which I really dont want to do! I have attached a screenshot of the form as is and another showing all the detected fields.
I don't think that there is a way to do, I think your only option is to add manually. If that column is the same size as last one on the right that it detected then you can copy>paste. But beware you may have to rename the field and double check your tabbing order when doing so.
If all your 50 pages have the exact same fields then get your 1st page setup. Then create page 2 and open your pdf with the correct fields, go to Document>Replaces Pages, and select page 2, so the same for all pages and then combine all pages into 1 pdf when finished (seems like a lot of steps but in my opinion faster then doing 50+ pages and however many fields). As long as your 1st page is the exact same field setup as all the rest this should prevent you from having to redo all 50 pages.

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
Good afternoon everyone...
THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
A……………………… B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
A……………………………………………………B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYY
And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
A………………………. B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
A………………… …B…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
My SPECIFIC CASE
I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
Can the line be made to WRAP????..
In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
Tony Calabrese.Steve,
you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
This thing is SO frustrating!
Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
So it looks like:
&col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
...................................ppppp
AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
Have you ever come across anything like this?
Thankyou again,

How do I get itunes do find all my music?
iTunes cannot locate multiple files from my library; they have not moved or changed. How do I get itunes do find all my music again. There are over 15,000 songs in my library - about half have an exclamation mark in my playlists.
Hmm, not sure I understand how that might have happened. It seems as if the media folder has been pointed to the wrong level, put in a pre-iTunes 9 layout and then updated. All the <Artist> folders should be moved from iTunes to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Assuming iTunes moved the files around the filenames should be as expected. WMP, for example. might use different character substitutions for illegal characters and can user longer file and folder names. If anything remains broken FindTracks can take up the slack.

How do you get a list of all the trigger DDLs?
I want to get a list of all the DB trigger DDLs of owner 'ABS'. I want to do it using 1 SQL statement.
This is what I ran:
SELECT
TO_CHAR(DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TRIGGER', TRIGGER_NAME, 'ABS'))
FROM
ALL_TRIGGERS
WHERE
OWNER = 'ABS';
I get this error: [1]:
(Error): ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 4414, maximum: 4000)
Then I looked up in the web and they ask to use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR instead. So I do that:
SELECT
DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TRIGGER', TRIGGER_NAME, 'ABS'), 32767, 1)
FROM
ALL_TRIGGERS
WHERE
OWNER = 'ABS';
Now I get this error:
[1]: (Error): ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at line 1
Looks like you cannot show more than *4000* chars. There are 43 triggers whose DDL is more than 4000 chars long.
Why is this?
How can I solve my problem?
Edited by: Channa on Feb 16, 2010 9:45 PMHerald, fantastic news. SET LONG did the trick.
But I had to put a very big value. 32000 was not enough. Otherwise some of the triggers (big ones) got cut off.
This is my complete code which did it.
SPOOL F:\Channa\zz_zzTemp\Binuka\OutPut.txt
set trimspool on
set pages 0
set long *1000000000*
set linesize 32767
SET TERMOUT OFF
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TRIGGER', TRIGGER_NAME, 'ABS')
FROM ALL_TRIGGERS
WHERE OWNER = 'ABS' AND trigger_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%'
SPOOL OUT
THANKS A LOT. REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
P.S: I had to include the NOT LIKE 'BIN$%' in the where clause because otherwise I got this error:
ERROR:
ORA-31603: object *"BIN$cqXDSqghrFngQKjAJAovgw==$0"* of type TRIGGER not found in
schema "ABS"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2805
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
no rows selected
I THINK BIN$... triggers are dropped triggers in the DB recycle bin???

I had the hard drive replaced on my mac. I did a restore from back up drive to my new hard drive. First LR4 couldn't find the catalog so I pointed to it. Then I opened lightroom 4 and it cannot see ANY of my photos. I don't want to link each folder full of photos it will take hours. Isn't there another way to do this so it finds them all at once? Photos are still located in the same location on the new hard drive after restore. Nothing changed except the hard drive. Thank you!
I did find something in another post that suggests to go to the top most file in the structure and right click and click on "find missing folder" then you point to that folder and it will find all subfolders and photos. This really worked well for most of the photos but I have I must have moved at some point that I will have to relocate. This is good information whether you are working with a Mac or a PC. I think it would work for either. I hope this helps someone else out there.
