Creating bookmark using VBA
Hi all,
Im creating a pdf file with a number of bookmarks in it from Access using VBA. I want each bookmark to refer to a page in the document. Just wanted to confirm that I have understood this correcly. With current functionality I must use javascript to do this i.e this.pageNum=2 when I create the bookmark(createChild under JSObject). There is no possiblity to create it using the "standard" go to page functionality? I want to avoid javascript as much as possible since this functionality can be disabled. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ingman
I believe so. Or of course someone may already have commercially developed one and is selling it.
Unless you can do something like get from Access to Word, automate adding Word styles, then use PDFMaker to make a PDF with bookmarks from styles.

Hi
can any one tell me how create bookmark using java script ?
I want to create a bookmark on a Billjoy, there is a problem in parameter of bookmarks.Add() function.

// i want to create bookmark on billjoy
INDESIGN::Bookmarks bookmarks = objDoc.GetBookmarks();
bookmarks.Add(
Parameters is destination of type HyperlinkExternalPageDestination or HyperlinklPageDestination or
HyperlinklTextDestination or Page.
How use these type of parameter.
Thanks.After creating a new folder ("plus" sign, or "Bookmarks" menu, then "Add Bookmark folder" or "shift-apple-N"), click on the parent folder (the one you want the new folder to go in as a subfolder). Then drag the new folder over to the right, where the bookmarks are listed.
As an alternative, if you click on the parent folder on the left that you want a new folder to go in, then click into the area on the right (that lists the bookmarks in a folder), you can then "Add Bookmark folder" (again, "shift-apple-N") or use the "plus" sign on the bottom under the bookmarks. -

Creating Bookmarks in form using JavaScript on searched string.
Hi all,
I am currently working on SAP Adobe Form to which I need to add bookmarks
dynamically where the Searched string is found and this should be done during
its Assembly. Any help is appreciated.

We have forms created with bindings as well as document (word document) are being (merged)/populated dynamically.
After it has been compiled I need to do a search for "string" and where the first "string" is matched I need to add a bookmark to that particular page. Bookmarks are used widely in Acrobat and there is a JavaScript to create bookmark available but the code for Adobe LC/ SAP Adobe Form is different. So I need help if someone knows how I go about do this.

How do I automatically create bookmarks in adobe using the Scanjet pro 3000 s2?
How do I automatically create bookmarks in adobe using the Scanjet pro 3000 s2?
Does the file you are writing have a timestamp in it? If so you could read the timestamp from the last time it was written and see if the day has changed, handling the name of the file appropriately. The easiest way to record the timestamp is probably to write the timestamp as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 12:00 am on Firday January 1st 1904 in UT. The "Get Date/Time in Seconds" function will give you this value.

Is there a way to create a PDF package using VBA?
Hello everyone,
I'm working on a project that ends with a series of PDFs. For sending ease, I'd like to compile all of these into a single package. Is there any way this can be done using VBA?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!At the corporate level, we have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and I don't think I have enough pull to get them to upgrade to 9. Any ideas of a v8 workaround? Currently, I'm just appending them all in to 1 document, which works but doesn't present as nice as a Package or Portfolio would.

Excel 2010 Synchronize List with SharePoint List using VBA
I have used and loved the interaction between Excel and SharePoint for many generations of both solutions. It's a wonderful opportunity to integrate the familiarity and simplicity of Excel (formatting, ease of use, availability) with the data storage
and centralized list capabilities of SharePoint. Right?
When upgrading to Excel 2010, I have noticed with much dismay that much of the inherent easy to use features of previous versions were effectively stripped from this newest version. Much research, time and energy has been spent working around and resolving
the deficiency. One Microsoft based article,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930006, has provided the mechanics behind utilizing the "hidden" functionality... although, this capability to use VBA to create the synchronized list was available in previous versions. However, once Microsoft
published this article to this "hidden" functionality... I feel that the behavior should be supported by Microsoft in some way. OK?
Revised instructions to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a SharePoint list with 20 dummy records.
- Note the List Name ##LIST_NAME##
- Note the View GUID ##VIEW_GUID##
- Note SharePoint Base URL ##BASE_URL##
2. REVISED... In Excel 2010, save the file as Compatible "Excel 97-2003 Workbook". Close the file and reopen. Create a connected table (ListObject) in Excel using the article above to the SharePoint list. Use Sample VBA code
below:
Sub LinkedSharePointList()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal,_
Source:=Array(##BASE_URL## & "/_vti_bin", ##LIST_NAME##, _
##VIEW_GUID##), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
End Sub
3. OOPS REVISED this item. The problem is actually with ROW 21... So, update record on row 21... (no matter where the table is located... (if the "Destination" is "A1", then the problem is with ID=20, but if the Table is
shifted down to say A12, then ID=9 on row 21). Anyway... make a simple change to that record... and you'll see the ID immediately change.... as if it's a NEW record. WEIRD! Note: If the sheet is protected, then an error is displayed
indicating that a "read-only" record cannot be updated (referring to the ID cell in column A for the current row).
4. Now "synchronize" the list with excel. The former record is still in the list unchanged AND there is a NEW record in the list holding the changes. There are a number of problems that seem to ONLY occur when something changes to ROW
21.... Next, try to copy/paste multiple records across multiple rows that intersect with ROW 21. Yikes!!
I look forward to hearing others' experience!
Thanks!

Using VBA to generate varibale worksheets in BEx Report
Hi Gurus,
i got an BEx Analyzer report (BW 3.5) in Excel. It shows all orders generated by the customers. In the table we can see the customer number, customer name, some attributes and the sales key figures.
For Example:
10000, Peter, ..................., 20 EUR
10023, Clark, ..................., 20 EUR
12200, Bert, ..................., 20 EUR
13200, Erny, ..................., 20 EUR
etc.
Now i want that Excel takes each customer number and creates a new worksheets - each with the customer number in it / or name. As the number of customers is different each week it should be flexible. Any idea with VBA? I know that i can place in SAPBExonrefresh some coding.
Regards,
MemoliHi Memoli,
i think i now what you want. Use the following code but check the steps:
1. Run your query in Analyzer.
2. Move result area to top left but hide alle headers, texts, free characteristics etc. Only the table should be available - that with customer and data fields. Better change to table view in query designer or local view.
2. Your query should start in field A1 or A2. If you want leave a header ampty on top and write customer number in this field - in this case your table starts in A2.
3. Delete all worksheets and leave the one with the query. Name it "Customer".
4. Insert a button by using VBA toolbar. Doubleclick and paste following code in editor:
Sub TabAnlegen()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wks = Worksheets("Customer")
iRow = 2
Do Until IsEmpty(wks.Cells(iRow, 1))
Worksheets.Add after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = wks.Cells(iRow, 1).Value
iRow = iRow + 1
Loop
wks.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
After that. Run your query and press the button.

[b]Tutorial:[/b] Simplify Developing OLE Automation Code Using VBA
INTRODUCTION
Automating Office applications from Oracle Forms can be a tedious, frustrating, and time-consuming process. Because the OLE2 and CLIENT_OLE2 built-ins do not validate the automation commands that they relay, code that compiles without errors often dies at runtime with a not-so-helpful error code. This tutorial will demonstrate how to simplify the development of automation code using a tool that ships with all Microsoft Office editions -- the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) IDE.
The VBA IDE, a core Office component, is a full-fledged development environment featuring code completion, basic syntax highlighting, context-driven help and a runtime debugger. Its Object Browser provides a convenient means of browsing the Word object model, as well as searching by keyword.
For those who may not interested in following this tutorial in detail, I would like to stress the usefulness of the Object Browser as a tool for inspecting the functions supported by OLE server applications and, perhaps more importantly, valid values for function arguments. Whether/not anyone buys the assertion that starting with VBA prototypes is far more productive than pounding out OLE2 code from the very start, they will find the Object Browser invaluable as a reference -- I rely on it exclusively for this sort of documentation.
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE VBA IDE & THE OBJECT BROWSER UTILITY
Try this:
1. Open Word
2. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>
3. Open the Object Browser by pressing <F2>
The Object Browser allows you to visually navigate Word's class hierarchy. Its user interface is a bit crowded, so controls are unlabeled. Hovering the mouse cursor above a control will display a tooltip explaining that control's purpose. The browser's scope can be narrowed by using the Project/Library combo. Typing a keyword or substring in the Search Text combo and clicking on the Search button will cause all classes/members whose name contains the specified search text to be listed in the Search Results pane. Selecting an item from this list will update the two panes below it, showing the selected class, and its members. Beneath the Classes and Members panes is an untitled pane, gray in color, which displays details for the selected class/member, including hyperlinks to relevant information such as arguments, their types and allowable values. If Visual Basic Help is installed, pressing <F1> will display help on a selected class/member. (This feature can be installed from your Office install CD, if necessary.)
NOTE: While it is possible to cut-and-paste the code examples that follow, I highly recommend that they be typed in by hand. Doing so will provide a better understanding of how the IDE's code completion behaves. Use code completion most efficiently by not using the mouse or <Enter> key when selecting from completion lists. Instead, just type enough letters to select the desired list element, then continue along as if you had typed the entire element, typing the next operator in your statement. It really is slick!
HELLO WORLD - VBA-STYLE
1. Open Word
2. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>
3. Select Module from the Insert menu.
4. In the blank area that appears, enter the following code:
Public Sub HelloWorld()
Documents.Add
Selection.TypeText ("Hello, world!")
End Sub5. Press <F5> to run the code.
If you switch back to Word by pressing <Alt><F11>, there should appear a newly-created document containing the text Hello, world!.
A MORE AMBITIOUS EXAMPLE
In this example, we will launch Word, type some text, and alter its formatting. For the purposes of this tutorial, consider it the process we wish to automate from within Forms.
1. If Word is running, close it.
2. Open any Office application except Word, such as Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint
3. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>.
4. Select References from the Tools menu -- a dialog should pop up.
5. From within this dialog, locate and select Microsoft Word <version> Object Library, then click OK.
6. Select Module from the Insert menu.
7. In the blank area that appears, enter the following code:
Public Sub LaunchWord()
Dim app As Word.Application
Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
app.Visible = True '!!! IMPORTANT !!!
app.Documents.Add
With app.Selection
.TypeText "This is paragraph 1."
.TypeParagraph
.TypeText "This is paragraph 2."
.TypeParagraph
.TypeText "This is paragraph 3."
End With
With ActiveDocument
.Paragraphs(1).Range.Words(3).Bold = True
.Paragraphs(2).Range.Words(3).Italic = True
.Paragraphs(3).Range.Words(3).Underline = True
End With
End Sub8. Press <F5> to run the code.
A new Word session should have been launched. Switch to it, to view the results of our handiwork!
TAILORING VBA CODE INTENDED FOR OLE2 CONVERSION
Now, things get a bit uglier. The code listed above gives a good idea of how concise VBA code can be, but With blocks and chained object references do not translate readily into OLE2 code. Here's the same process, rewritten in a more OLE2-friendly style. Note the numerous intermediate object references that have been declared.
Public Sub LaunchWord()
Dim app As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim docs As Word.Documents
Dim pars As Word.Paragraphs
Dim par As Word.Paragraph
Dim wrds As Word.Words
Dim sel As Word.Selection
Dim rng As Word.Range
Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
app.Visible = True '!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Set doc = app.Documents.Add
Set sel = app.Selection
sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 1."
sel.TypeParagraph
sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 2."
sel.TypeParagraph
sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 3."
Set pars = doc.Paragraphs
'select third word of first paragraph and make it bold
Set par = pars.Item(1)
Set rng = par.Range
Set wrds = rng.Words
Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
rng.Bold = True
'select third word of second paragraph and italicize it
Set par = pars.Item(2)
Set rng = par.Range
Set wrds = rng.Words
Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
rng.Italic = True
'select third word of second paragraph and underline it
Set par = pars.Item(3)
Set rng = par.Range
Set wrds = rng.Words
Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
rng.Underline = True
End Sub
TRANSFORMATION: CONVERTING VBA CODE INTO PL/SQL

CONCLUSION
It is my hope that this tutorial, despite it's introductory nature, has demonstrated the value of the VBA IDE, the ease with which automation processes can be prototyped using VBA, the noticeable similarity between VBA automation routines and their Forms PL/SQL counterparts, and the advantages of testing automation processes within the VBA IDE. Please feel free to follow up with any specific questions or concerns you may have.
Thanks,

FINAL NOTE: These examples use the OLE2 built-in, and will operate correctly when called from forms running in the Form Builder OC4J. Deploying them to an Oracle Application Server will launch Word on the server itself (if available), which is usually not the developer's intent! Automating Word client-side via web forms requires adding WebUtil support. Adapting the code for WebUtil is trivial -- just replace all instances of OLE2 with CLIENT_OLE2. Adapting forms for WebUtil and configuring OLE support into your Oracle Application Server, however, are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
REVISION HISTORY
This promises to be something of a 'living document'. I've snuck changes through without comment in the past, but in the future, I'll try to document significant changes here.

* Prefaced boring subject line with text: 'Tutorial:' to clarify purpose
* Added emphasis on value of Object Browser as a referenceThanks James, for your kind words. I do hope this information will help folks out. I honestly believe that tinkering around in the VBA IDE will prove highly gratifying for automation developers. It can be assured that learning to make Word jump through hoops is much more straight-forward in this environment. I'm not one for mottos, but if I were pressed for a cheesy motto, I would say: First, make it work. Then, make it work in Oracle!
Once the idea has sunk in, that Visual Basic routines for automating Word are exact analogs to their OLE2 counterparts, we can remove keywords like Oracle and PL/SQL from our Google searches on Word automation which, at least in this context, are the proverbial kiss of death. Suddenly we find ourselves liberated by the possibility of steal-, ahem... borrowing ideas from the Visual Basic* community!
As for links, my link of choice is invariably http://groups.google.com -- if you don't already use it at least ten times a day, you must try it. This is the venerable USENET archive, including the holdings of now-extinct DejaNews. Another possible site of interest is http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA, which may serve as a good starting point for those who wish to learn how to do fancy tricks with Word using VBA.
If these links don't prove immediately helpful, please feel free to give specifics on the sort of operations you are interested in automating, and I'll see if I can post an example that addresses it.

PS: I do hope, as people read my posts, with every other acronym being VBA, that they are not mistakenly hearing a call to learn Visual Basic. I say this, not because I believe learning VB would be a Bad Thing, but because I assume that few of us feel we have the time to learn a new programming language. Despite having come to the Oracle camp already knowing VB/VBA, and having acquired a fair bit of experience with automating Office applications as an Access developer, I remain confident that what I am suggesting people attempt does not rise to the level of learning a language. What I am suggesting is that they learn enough of the language to get by.
*VB vs. VBA
Just a quick word on this, as readers may wonder why I seem to use these terms interchangeably. Visual Basic (VB) can refer to either a development platform or a programming language. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a language -- more precisely, it is a subset of the Visual Basic language. One purchases VB, usually quite intentionally. VBA is included with Microsoft Office, as is VBA's development environment, the VBA IDE. The key distinction between VB and VBA is that VBA cannot be used to create self-contained executables. Rather, VBA relies on VBA-enabled applications, such as Microsoft Office applications, to serve as a container for VBA code, and to provide a runtime environment for that code. For the purposes of discussing OLE Automation, VB and VBA are quite interchangeable. -
Is there a way to Update and SaveAs, an XFA form using VBA or similar ?
All:
Need help to auto-fill and auto-save PDFs using VBA or some other means.
I have created an XFA form using LiveCycle ES ( v8 ) with a few fields.
What I need to do is repeat these steps below for 200+ PDF forms
Open the blank PDF form
Update 3 fields
Save the PDF with a new name
My Excel VBA code so far ( ** Copied from another post ) where dFile = "C:\temp.pdf" and dAccount = "Any Account"
Sub rxOpenPDF_UpdateFields(dFile, dAccount )
Dim pdfApp As Acrobat.AcroApp, pdfPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc, jso As Object
Dim str1$, bolOpen As Boolean, strFile$
Set pdfApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set pdfPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
bolOpen = pdfPDDoc.Open(dFile)
Set jso = pdfPDDoc.GetJSObject
str1 = jso.getfield("Account_Name").Value ' Will appreciate if there is a way to set a field value
pdfApp.Exit
Set pdfApp = Nothing
Set pdfPDDoc = nothing
Set jso = Nothing
End Sub
Excel VBA is shutting down ( cannot recover ) when it runs the pdfPDDoc.Open statement
Any help will be very appreciated

I am on Windows XP,
In VBA, I have created Tool References to [Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library]
Downloaded the Acrobat v9 SDK but am lost trying to locate any help for simple VBA.lrosenth,
Would I be able to Update & SaveAs with a newer version of LiveCycle ( does Adobe still have a LiveCycle line ) ?
I was looking at InDesign but am not sure if it has the functionality that I need ( i.e. create multiple forms from an Excel list)
.. also am unsure of the learning curve.

Acrobat Pro 7 quits when creating bookmarks
I can only go up to Acrobat 7 on my Mac unless I upgrade from OS 10.3.9. PDFs create fine. Create bookmark by highlighting text and hit command-b. Repeat a few times. Save document and Acrobat quits. Original document is Word 2004 for Mac 11.5.0. I suspect Acrobat doesn't like the hidden TOC data in the headings I am using for bookmarks. BUT, this never happened with Distiller 4.0, the last version I used extensively. Anybody got a fix? I have a 1GHz G4 eMac with 768MB ram.
Evidently I mispoke, it works on 10.4. I thought I had been using it on X.3.9.Because I have one hard drive that use X.3.9. Ther are some updates to 7.0 though. Make sure you your using the most up to date version. Sorry for misleading you.

Is it possible to add a button to the right-click context menu for a user in Outlook 2010 using VBA?
I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?Hello,
Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead. -
BAPI Access from Excel using VBA
Im writing an excel macro (VBA) to call a bapi that populates a spreadsheet.
The user will then do some manipulation of the data collected, and then it must be sent back to sap.
The Bapi in question is BAPI_GET_USER_DETAIL
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(USERNAME) LIKE BAPIBNAME-BAPIBNAME
*" EXPORTING
*" VALUE(LOGONDATA) LIKE BAPILOGOND STRUCTURE BAPILOGOND
*" VALUE(DEFAULTS) LIKE BAPIDEFAUL STRUCTURE BAPIDEFAUL
*" VALUE(ADDRESS) LIKE BAPIADDR3 STRUCTURE BAPIADDR3
*" VALUE(COMPANY) LIKE BAPIUSCOMP STRUCTURE BAPIUSCOMP
*" VALUE(SNC) LIKE BAPISNCU STRUCTURE BAPISNCU
*" VALUE(REF_USER) LIKE BAPIREFUS STRUCTURE BAPIREFUS
*" VALUE(ALIAS) LIKE BAPIALIAS STRUCTURE BAPIALIAS
*" TABLES
*" PARAMETER STRUCTURE BAPIPARAM OPTIONAL
*" PROFILES STRUCTURE BAPIPROF OPTIONAL
*" ACTIVITYGROUPS STRUCTURE BAPIAGR OPTIONAL
*" RETURN STRUCTURE BAPIRET2
*" ADDTEL STRUCTURE BAPIADTEL OPTIONAL
*" ADDFAX STRUCTURE BAPIADFAX OPTIONAL
*" ADDTTX STRUCTURE BAPIADTTX OPTIONAL
*" ADDTLX STRUCTURE BAPIADTLX OPTIONAL
*" ADDSMTP STRUCTURE BAPIADSMTP OPTIONAL
*" ADDRML STRUCTURE BAPIADRML OPTIONAL

*" ADDSSF STRUCTURE BAPIADSSF OPTIONAL
*" ADDURI STRUCTURE BAPIADURI OPTIONAL
*" ADDPAG STRUCTURE BAPIADPAG OPTIONAL
*" ADDCOMREM STRUCTURE BAPICOMREM OPTIONAL
*" GROUPS STRUCTURE BAPIGROUPS OPTIONAL
Ive Managed to glean from various sources on the internet, the various basics on doing a bapi call from VBA
Here is what i have so far.

I need help deciphering the data received from the bapi and then repackaging it using VBA.
I know writing this in ABAP would take less than 30 mins, but that is not an option for me.Ok, Ive made some headway

I am trying to do an RFC call from Excel to SAP using VBA. RFC is working fine for most the RFC enabled Function Modules except DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET and DDIF_FIELDLABEL_GET.
What can be the reason for this?
Can someonme please help me with a macro code where these FMs are working.
Also can someone please help me with some tutorial on SAP connection with Excel.
