How to get data from PDF form?

PDF forms can send data in url like GET or POST method. Is it possible to get data from url, like in PHP http://sever/file.php?item1=value1&item2=value2&item3=value3
In APEX url have specific construction and I don't know how to get value of items (1...3)
Please let me help to find simple method of geting data from URL.
Best Regards,
Mark

The APEX URL syntax is detailed here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/concept.htm#BCEDJBEH
How to get it from PDF is another matter...
I'm working on an app that downloads PDFs with a Large amount of data as a blob, takes that blob and changes it to XML, then goes through the xml to validate each section of data and then add it into the schema that my apex app is referencing....
I didn't write the original code but I do know that it isn't a quick thing to implement and includes using some uploading some java jar files to your schema and writing some custom java code.
Someone else may be able to help with grabbing PDF data into the URL for the amounts of data you want to pass to apex.

How to get data from pdf file and send contents of the pdf file to R/3

Hi, experts,
Action:
1. Make a pdf forms (interactive form) with inputfield named A_inputfield in the webdynpro application and run the webdynpro application.
2. In the IE, click the save button in the pdf interactive form and save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk. Close the IE browser.
3. Open the pdf interactive form from the local C disk and type "aaa" to the A_inputfield.
4. I want to save the "aaa" to the R/3 system using webdynpro or using other tools . How can I do it?
First way:
If I use webdynpro application to save the content of the pdf, I don't find a way mapping or binding the content to a context of a view. So I don't think this way is unadvisable.
Second way:
Adding a button "submit" in the pdf forms when create the pdf form. Runing the webdynpro application, save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk. Opening the pdf interactive form from the local c disk and typing "aaa" to the A_inputfield, click the "submit" button to save the content. Of course, I need to finish the code for clicking "submit" button. But I don't know how to write these codes and where to write these codes. Do you give me some advise ?
Best regards,
tao

How to get date from html form through php to show table from oracle sql

I have a form method post.Also an input date like input date (html 5,the one that picks the date from a window below)
I want to take the date the user inputs and use it in a php which contains a contains a select statement that is like that $stid = DBExecute($conn, "select customer_name,product_name,order_date,quantity and ends like this.. and order_date>='".$_POST['date']."'");
Then i have echo "<table....
And while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC)) {......
But I have a problem on that. No results shown. Why?
Does anybody know to help me?
What value the date input gives in HTML5 and in which format? How can i fix that?

There's not enough info posted to help. Do some googling. Do some debugging - add some 'var_dump' calls in PHP to check everything
e.g. var_dump($_POST);
And never, ever, ever do concatenation like you do with $_POST to build up a query string. This is a major "SQL Injection" security risk.
instead, use an OCI8 bind variable. See PHP: OCI8 - Manual

If any one of u have any idea, give me a reply

If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened
You can erase the global variable using:
erase('global_var')

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

Linking data from PDF form into Indesign CS6

Hello all,
I'll be working on a magazine which has a large section of day camps technical descriptions :
name, contact info, location, short introduction text, activities icons (they have to choose up to 5 icons from a total of 12)
Is it possible to link data from a fillable PDF into predetermined and prestyled text boxes in Indesign CS6?
Would it be necessary to export in an Excel sheet prior?
What would be the best trick in order for the icons to place themselves automatically, if possible?
Thanks in advance

When placing a PDF into InDesign, it's a flat piece of art for each page included. There's no way to manipulate form fields or work with links or anything like that.
The data from the form would have to be collected and converted into an Excel file for placing into InDesign. (Collecting data from PDF forms and converting the Excel format can be done in Acrobat Pro.)

How to get data from a file?

Hello everyone, i'm new to this forum and to java too. Ok, so here is what i want to do:
I want to get data from a file containing words and numbers and store them into variables that i will use them after to insert into a database table. For example i have a file called employees.txt in this form:
eid ename zipcode Hire_date
1000 "Jones" 67226 "12-DEC-95"
In C++ i declare variables for each data and store them, for example in this case:
ifstream in("somefile");
string name, hdate;
int eid, zip;
in >> eid >> ename >> zip >> hdate;
So i want to do the same thing in JAVA but i can't make it work. So, i would appreciate if someone could give me a simple example how to do it. Thank you.

How to get data from subsites list of SharePoint 2010 in ssrs

Hi,
Can someone help me on this issue.
I want to create a report using ssrs, I have some of the data in SQL and some of the data in sharepoint list.
First I need to go to SQL and get the data from the table which contains URL for the subsite in sharepoint.
after that I need to go to all the subsites and go to perticulat list in the subsites and get data from that list.
for example, their is a top level site "abc"
it contains sub site "123", "456","567", etc.. All this sub sites contain a list by name "Sample List", Now I need to go to that sub site list(Sample List) and get list-item column say "created By" which
is created on particular date.
in my report, I need to print the sub site "url/Title" which comes from SQL database and list-item column "Created By" of that sub site list "Sample List".
I tried using subreport inside a report by using "Microsoft SharePoint List" as a datasource, but when it comes to real time we don't know how many subsites will be created, so we can't create a datasource for each subsite site.
I guess we need to be using XML as a datasource, but how can we go to particular subsite in query while using XML, since all subsites have list with the same name ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Kishore

Hi Kishore,
SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) supports expression-based connection strings. This will help us to achieve the goal you mentioned in this case:
Create a new report
Create a Data Source in the report with the connection string like this:
http://server/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (We use static connection string instead of expression-based connection string now, as it is not supported to get fields based on expression-based connection string in design time. We will change it to be expression-based
connection string later)
Create the data set(as you have done using XML query language). Please use list name instead of GUID in the listName parameter.
Design the report(e.g. Add controls to the report)
Now, let's change the connection string to be expression-based. First, please add a parameter to the report, move this parameter to top. This parameter is used to store the sub site name.
Open the Data Source editor, set the connection string to be: ="http://server/" & Parameters!parameterCreatedInStep5.value & "_vti_bin/lists.asmx"
In the main report, pass the sub site name to the report we created above via the parameter created in step5
That is all.
Anyway, this is actually a SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS) question. You can get better support on this question from:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlreportingservices/threads
For more information about Expression-Based connection string, please see:

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.

How to get data from Oracle using Native SQL in SAP.. Problem with date

Hi Masters.
I'm trying to get data from an Oracle DB. I was able to connect to Oracle using tcode DBCO. The connetion works fine
I wrote this code and it works fine without the statement of where date > '01-09-2010'
But i need that statement on the select. I read a lot about this issue, but no answer.
My code is (this code is in SAP ECC 6.0)
DATA: BEGIN OF datos OCCURS 0,
      id_numeric(10),
      component_name(40),
      comuna(10),
      record_id(10),
      status,
      sampled_date(10),
      END OF datos.
DATA: c TYPE cursor.
EXEC SQL.
connect to 'LIM' as 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL PERFORMING loop_output.
SELECT ID_NUMERIC, COMPONENT_NAME, COMUNA, RECORD_ID, STATUS, SAMPLED_DATE
into :datos from lims.SAMP_TEST_RESULT
where     date > '01-09-2010'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
disconnect 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
How can i get the data from that date?? If i delete the where statemet, the program works well, it takes 30 mins and show all the data, I just need the data from that date.
Any help
Regards

Please refer the example in this link which deals with Oracle date format.
You can finnd a command DECODE which is used for date formats. If you have a look at whole theory then you will get an idea.

Hi,
This may be of help.
Remember Pointless has made a point ;) (worth millions)
If possible , DO NOT store dates as strings or numbers.Let dates be dates.
WITH dat AS
(SELECT ' THIS IS JAN' x,to_char(to_date('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS FEB' x,to_char(to_date('01-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS MAR' x,to_char(to_date('01-MAR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS APR' x,to_char(to_date('01-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS MAY' x,to_char(to_date('01-MAY-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS JUN' x,to_char(to_date('01-JUN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS JUL' x,to_char(to_date('01-JUL-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS AUG' x,to_char(to_date('01-AUG-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS SEP' x,to_char(to_date('01-SEP-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS OCT' x,to_char(to_date('01-OCT-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS NOV' x,to_char(to_date('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual)
SELECT * FROM dat
WHERE to_date(y,'mon/yyyy') BETWEEN to_date('01 jan 2009','dd mon yyyy') AND to_date('01 mar 2009','dd mon yyyy')Cheers!!!
