FDF(PDF) to Flashpaper

I have an FDF/PDF with form fields. How can I convert to a
flashpaper swf and write out to the formfields? I have flashpaper 2
and used this code but nothing gets outputted to the swf.
NAT_NAME is the form field name. The swf displays nicely on
the page.
Thanks

I've had the same issue, under Windows 2000, Word 2000, and
FlashPaper2.
Printing out via the
print driver causes links to be duds. Previews the resulting
SWF in the FlashPaper application without saving it.
Converting to .SWF via Word's new "FlashPaper" menu lets them
work. Previews the resulting SWF in my browser, after saving it.
Hope this helps someone. Especially the devs.

PDF to FlashPaper Issues

I have a couple of unresolved issues regarding the conversion
of PDF to FlashPaper:
1. Search function does not work ! FlashPaper is not able to
search/find anything in the documents. I have tried many different
ways of conversion (even printing the Original Indesign file
directly to FlashPaper printer). Does not work...
2. External links do not work as well they are no
clickable...
3. I have noticed that Adobe does not provide any feedback to
this discussion group...they are selling FlashPaper, however it
seems like the product is in it's early development stage ...
what's up with that?! So many unanswered complaints from people are
posted here...
Thanks,

PDF to FlashPaper Text is now Poor Quality

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall FlashPaper 2. When
I go try print any PDF to FlashPaper, the text resolution is now
horrible. Any ideas? I'm using Adobe Reader 8 at the moment.
Thanks

Okay, figured out my problem. I was creating the PDF from an
original Word document using FlashPaper's PDF creation tool. Bad
move. Once I created the PDF using Acro Pro, everything was back to
normal...

Secure HTTP FDF - PDF loads blank IE7 window

I've tried googling this a 100 ways and found nothing much.
Using IE7 and Reader 8
When a client clicks a link [a href='https://website.com/getinfo.asp#FDF' target='_blank'], the ASP page creates and displays a FDF file with /F (http://website.com/mypdf.pdf)
Problem is the client browser opens a blank browser page and Reader gives an error '.... this file could not be found'
If the link is changed to open in the same page then PDF loads correctly. Unfortunately business rules require that the PDF is loaded in a new window.
If 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk' is un-checked in IE then the PDF loads correctly in both new and same window. But again business rules require that the option is checked.
So how do I get the FDF (https) to load the PDF (http) in a new window in IE7 and Reader 8????
Any suggestions would be helpful

Well.. I solved this with workaround.
When a user clicks the link the user is now redirected to a blank page which opens in a new window. After 100ms the page redirects to the FDF generating page. The FDF is generated and calls the PDF.
Strangely the redirect page had to be timed because an ASP or HTTP redirection wouldn't work. I had to use a JavaScript times redirection. I don't know what difference it made but it works now!!
Hope this helps some other soul..

PDF to FlashPaper 2

hi all,
I'm trying to build an application over Coldfusion that
implements a conversion from a pdf into a Flashpaper document. The
only way I had found to do that is using FlashpaperConnect.dll that
comes with Contribute 3. My problem is that I need to run
ColdFusion over Linux and Contribut does not have a Linux version.
Question:
Is there any library for linux with the same function of
FlashpaperConnect.dll?
Anybody know another way to implement this kind of conversion
that could work in linux?
Thanks,
FerSantaFe

After more research, it looks like in my FlashPaper (made
from PDF files) the characters are shifted by a consistent amount.
Using the Unicode character set (you can see a reference in
Windows XP by going to the Start Menu, then
Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map), in
which each character is represented by a number, each character is
shifted by this function:
f(x) = 288 - x
I made a custom search box which translates each character
the user's looking for behind the scenes and uses the FlashPaper
API to search for the new, shifted text:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashpaper/2/flashpaper_api/flashpaper_api2. html
An amusing detail is that in trying to support
case-insensitive searches, where if they type "cat" and it also
finds "Cat", the following letters are treated as equivalent in
searching:
[=;
Z=:
Y=9
X=8
W=7
V=6
U=5
T=4
S=3
R=2
Q=1
P=0
N=.
M=-
B="

Windows Update for Security Essentials causes FDF-PDF network opening a file error:Access Denied

We open PDF files on mapped network drives, using FDF forms with fields. The latest Windows Update (12/15/14) KB2310138 is now causing the Adobe Reader application to say "Access Denied". I know it is the update for sure. I have one computer WITH the update that gets the error, another without that doesn't. If I change the "/F" reference in the FDF to use a local "C:" copy of the PDF, there is no error message.
Cannot undo the Windows Update. Although it shows on the history list, when I go into "Installed Updates" to undo it, it is not listed there.
Help!

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue?

MIMETYPE FDF PDF

Sorry für das Mehrfachposting, aber ich hab aufgrund eines fehlenden Bildes beim Developer´s Corner gar nicht gesehen, daß es diese Rubrik gibt :-(
Ich bin dabei, von einem PDF-File ein Servlet zu starten, welches eine FDF-Datei generiert, mit Daten füttert und dieses FDF-File wieder an ein Ausgabe-PDF schickt. Wenn ich das Servlet direkt starte, geht es auch. Wenn
ich auf den Button innerhalb des PDFs klicke, der das Servlet starten soll, macht der IE gar nichts. Der Netscape frägt nach, ob er die FDF-Datei speichern oder mit Adobe öffnen soll. Also werden die Daten nicht weitergegeben an die PDF, nur beim Direktstart via Adressleiste.
Der Code, an dem es wohl hackt:
Next we'll do three things:
1) Set everything up to emit the correct HTTP header for the MIME type. In the case with FDF, the MIME needs to be set to "application/vnd.fdf".
2) Obtain the OutputStream to which FDF data will be written
3) Write the FDF data to the OutputStream
/ // 1
res.setContentType("application/vnd.pdf");
Weiß jemand, welchen MIMETYPE ich jetzt brauche?? Hoff, das war verständlich. Oder braucht ihr mehr infos?

Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm running into the same issue.

PDF to FlashPaper - disappearing commas

I am trying to convert PDFs using the FlashPaper printer
utility on a Mac. The files are printing successfully, and the
overall text quality is okay, but all of the commas are
disappearing. Does anyone know how to prevent this? I've tried
converting PDFs of various sizes, some with their file sizes
reduced for the Web and others not, but the result is always the
same. Thanks!

Send vars to fdf -- pdf

How do I send vars to a PDF file i built using Adobe Designer

building an fdf file but that doesnt seem to work with these

Ill include my old script maybe i can modify it =) Thanks for
any help.

I have modified the above using the xfdf Draft Arc Document
however i am having difficulty bringing it up due to an XML parsing
error. Here is my modified code.

Is there something wrong with using that cfcontect

PDF vs Flashpaper

I successfully created a report with the CF report builder.
The format that I originally used in the <cfreport> tag was
pdf, but I opted to switch to flashpaper after experiencing how
long it takes to launch Acrobat. Nor do I like to see the window
cluttered with all of the Actobat controls. Flashpaper is simpler
and cleaner for this particular report application.
The problem I am experiencing is that the report will show up
in MS IE7 only if I use the pdf format. Mozilla and Opera browsers
have no problem with the flashpaper format. Anyone have an answer
to why IE does not handle it? Thanks!

While Hot Fix 2 was supposed to fix the active controls of IE
in 7.0.2, there are still instances where IE does not display flash
correctly.
Also, how are you pulling data into your report? Via a submit
form? I do use CFREPORT when doing inventory reports, which we
generate by filling out a form with all the info we want included
on the report. Initially we used method=post which seemed to work
for FireFox, but would not work for IE. So we switched and made
method=get in the form. This worked for IE and we have used it ever
since.
So, how are you generating your reports? Simple database
query? form submission? Also, have you installed the hot fix for
7.0.2?

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

MS word - flashpaper causes crash

I used to be able to print fine to flashpaper, creating
pdf's. but suddenly when i use flashpaper it causes the ms word
program to crash. any help?

Noticed the same problem today when I tried to convert a word
2007 doc into pdf using Flashpaper - caused Word 2007 to 'not
respond' and crash. Would wait it out, even waited an hour and
still nothing. It has worked fine in Word 2007 before, but that was
on my old computer running WinXP, this new notebook I am on that
this happened was running Vista.
For now I would just use PDF995. It is free and does the same
thing until this gets fixed - which I hope a patch does.
