How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports

Hi,
I have got a requirement to have some editable fields in one report whose output is in PDF format.
I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,.....

  • How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

    How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

    In spite of the latest updates Pages for iPad does not support:
    1) User templates
    2) Headers
    3) Footers
    4) Page numbers
    and it is not compatible with Pages for OSX, a document cannot be edited alternatively on Mac and iPad without destroying headers and footers.
    - The Word export is far from perfect
    - Does not really support Page Layout mode (you cannot duplicate a page at least)
    - Does not have a multi-page overview
    - The spelling support of iOS and OSX is at the level of Apple Maps except 4-5 languages.
    - It takes a long time until it starts
    INSTEAD, according to the latest updates:
    - It can do change tracking
    - Lock and unlock objects
    - Add reflections to shapes
    Dear Apple, please understand:
    - We like iPad and we wish to use it for real work.
    - We wish to have user templates, headers, footers and page numbers.
    - We do not expect all the features of Pages for OSX, but we do expect real compatibility.
    - We do not wish to switch back to Word for Windows unless you force us.
    Please try to concentrate on real development not on unimportant changes like in the latest dissapointing update.

  • Creating Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report

    hi,
    I have created Parameters in my BI Publisher Report and in SQL query. But i need to create same parameters in RTF Template , so that when i publish this report in dashboard , parameters will be visible. Can you please tell me how to create Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report ? I am not finding option. Please let me know .
    Thanks in advance
    Gayathri.

    all the parameter's value will be there in your xml .
    just you need to add parameter heading and corresponding xml tag name to get the parameter value on the report.
    if u dont have you can try like below
    https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/get_your_parameters_here_guv
    Declare Parameter in RTF Template
    Before you use the parameter in the RTF template file you need to declare it first. You can do so by having the following syntax.
    <?param@begin:%parameter_name%?>
    Note: where %parameter_name% is the parameter name that you have created at the BI Publisher Server UI.
    Here is an example:
    <?param@begin:param1?>
    Use it in RTF Template!
    Once it’s declared in the RTF template you can start using it as the same way you use the variable. You need to just add ‘$’ prefix in front of the parameter name. Here is the example:
    <?$param1?>
    The above example would print the parameter value in the report output. If you want to use this value in your condition or calculation you can simply use it as ‘$param1’. Yes, it’s that simple.
    If you are not sure if and how the parameter values are passed to the report when you run the report you can use this command in your RTF template, which will return all the parameter values passed to the RTF template at the runtime.
    <?xdoxslt:getXDOProperties($_XDOCTX)?>

  • FO processing for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program

    Hello,
    I am facing the following problem: if i try to burst a report using XML Publisher Report Bursting Program special characters like (ş,ţ,ă, etc.) in the resulting PDF look strange. I have tried running the report without bursting it and the characters appear just fine (after i've set the FO Processing Font Mapping). My guess is that XML Publisher Report Bursting Program is not using the right font mapping. Have you faced this problem before? Do you have any idea how to set the right font mapping for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program.
    Thank you.

    So the answer was to make sure the location in the bursting file (location="xdo://schema.template_code.en.US) exactly matches the language/country setting in the uploaded Definition. Then make sure the fonts have been added to the xdo.cfg file matching what your Font Mappings are:
    <font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC" />
    </font>
    <font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="bold">
    <truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />
    </font>
    <font family="Cambria Bold" style="normal" weight="bold">

  • How to create a Document Template for "Scanned" PDFs? (Editing isn't necessary.)

    I have a Custom Content Type called "Vendor Invoices". It is based off the "Document" Content Type. I would like to create a "Document Template" that will support "PDFs", but the PDFs should always be added via an
    "upload" (since these are Invoices that we will be "receiving", there is no need to actually "Create" one). So, I don't need to support "New Document" or the "Drag and Drop" "New Document". I simply
    need the users to "Upload" the documents. Although, I have created several Columns for this Content Type (Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Vendor Name, etc) that the user will input when uploading the Invoice (PDF), so I WOULD like the "Document
    Information Panel" to appear. Is that only possible by using one of the Office document types?
    Any thoughts or ideas on how I might accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a pdf content type.
    We can use the PDF SharePoint Cumulative Update 1 to achieve this scenario, it allows you to create new PDF template and then deploy it as a Content Type.
    There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

  • Editable PDF Template for Proposals etc

    I'm a complete newb when it comes to acrobat so let me try and explain what I'm trying to do.
    My dad has his own business and he wants to be able to fill out all his proposals, statements and etc online. So what I'm trying to do is create a template based off of his printed proposals and make it so all he has to do is fill out the name, description and amount due. So I need an editable PDF file that he can fill out and then save as a new file (all filled out with the information he put in) that is uneditable, which will be presented to the client.
    I tried adding form fields but I couldnt figure out how to save it so it would be uneditable by the client.
    Hopefully, I explained that clearly. By the way I have the adobe master suite incase any other programs will help me. Thanks in advanced and sorry for my newbness.
