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.

Place a picture in a PDF using FDF file

Hallo, I made a form which is connectet trough a FDF to our ERP. In the ERP the picure is linked, the size is 25mm x 28 mm x 150dpi.
My problem is that only the link as string is transferd to the PDF.
You know how I can "render" this link to a rasterimage ?
At the moment I open the Link in ERP, copy the picture in the memory and aferwords I place a watermark in place. This shold be automated ...
The TopLeft angle of the picture is 213mm x 162mm considering the Top Left angle of the printed A4 sheet 0 mm x 0mm.
It would be great.
N.B.: I worked on Acrobat professional X because so I can create the FDF files, in the LifeCycle environment isn't possible.
Thank you to everybody how know's a solution. I guess that a JavaScript could be a solution ...

Hallo, thank you for your replay ! The process is the following:
InDesign
Stamp PDF
Overlay spaces with formfields

Export formfields

Help! Saving a PDF out of Illustrator and the PDF is cropped on the right and bottom. Artboard size is fine.

We're having a weird issue with Illustrator that rarely can be replicated. When we're saving a file as a PDF, sometimes the PDF gets cropped to the right and bottom and we're not quite sure why it's happening. Sometimes we'll just go an open the Illustrator file again and re-save and it's fine. Other times we may need to re-start the computer or re-start Illustrator and it's fine. Other times when we do all of the above, it still crops the PDF. I'm baffled as to what's happening.
We're running 10.6.8 OS X and this is Illustrator CC.

This is in Illustrator CC Version 17. It is fine when you open them back in Illustrator. I have also noticed that from Illustrator if you do a 'Save As', select PDF, then select one of the PDF presets (I use 'Press Quality) the resulting PDF when opened in Reader displays how I want it, with the artwork as it was positioned on the Illustrator artboard (not cropped). If I then open in Illustrator again, make a change to the artwork, and select 'Save' (not 'Save As') when opened back in Reader the file is cropped again.

How to generate graphs from csv file and show on remote clients?

Hi,
I have set of csv files. Each file has 104 parameters. From these parameters different graphs have to be generated and displayed to remote clients thru tomcat.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?
cheers,
its reeju

it's very easy to load the CSV into java objects. Once you have done that why not use the Java2D API to draw your graphs and then use the Sun JPG encoder tools to write out a jpg stream back to the browser (you will need to set the content type for jpg).

API to generate password using Siteminder API and the password policy

Hello Jim,
The way you are going about your coding sounds correct. Per your second question, MAX installs when you update the computer drivers. To do this go to ni.com/drivers, search for DAQmx, and then download the most current version of DAQmx that is compatible with your computers. By installing a newer version of DAQmx MAX will automatically be updated.

You can't download keyboards for an iPhone. You have to use the ones already present, which include a number for Chinese, as listed in the tech specs.

How to add additional lines to the Order Form template?

I purchased and installed Acrobat Pro 9 because of its ability to create forms and found the Order Form template is just perfect for what I need, why reinvent the wheel, right? Except I found I can't figure out how to add additional object that duplicate what is already there. I highlighted an entire row and tried to just copy and paste but the past function put the copied objects at the bottom of the form in what looks like a group, all out of order. I tried looking in the online help for a possible key combination that would inset an additional row of objects but couldn't find any.
Also the form doesn't move down and create a new page keeping all the other elements in line, it moves to the bottom of the current page and stops. Thought the template was based on a table so I was going to insert additional rows thinking once it reached the bottom of the current page it would automatically break to a new page and continue, but it's not a table. So my question is, how can I add duplicate object that match the Order Form templates Item, Description, etc. objects? I've come to realize learning to use this product is not going to be as simple a proposition as I was lead to believe. O well, live and learn!
If someone can point me in the right direction, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Barney! It's even easier than the solution I came to: copying and pasting into the field.

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
Thanks for your help in advance.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.
