How to Get XML from the PDF form generated using Designer that is stored in LC

We have a Requirement of Generating reports on what a PDF form is comprised of? It is easy for us to scan / parse the XML format of the PDF form and get all the relavent Info we need. We are able to see the XML format of the PDF form when we open up the Form in Designer.
But we are trying to run this report in a Batch Mode for many PDF files. I need to know how to get a XML format of the PDF file that is stored in LC that was developed using Designer. Once we are able to get the XML of the PDF form it is just a scan / parse to get the relavent data.
Can some one tell me how to get the XML format of a PDF file stored in the LC?

If I place the PDF form on the LC server - Can you let  me know of the tools you are referring to get XML design from the PDF form?
Is it through a Process Orchestration I need to run the PDF through to get a XML design out of it?
I am fine in storing the PDF in the LC server? How will I get the XML design (XML) from this PDF on the server?

  • How to get data from the GUIBB FORM on processing method PROCESS_EVENT?

    Hello Community,
    one more question do I have.
    I need to process some form data, that were entered by a user. One field was additional added via the method IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DEFINITION, so it is not in the BOL.
    I listen to an FPM_EVENT in the IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~PROCESS_EVENT.
    IF io_event->mv_event_id EQ 'FPM_SAVE_AND_BACK_TO_MAIN' OR io_event->mv_event_id = 'FPM_SAVE_1'.
         " Here I need to access the data from the GUINN FROM

    How can I access to the data, entered in the GUIBB FORM?
    Thank you and best regards, Christian

    Hello Jens and Christian,
    Thanks very much for your help.
    Could you help me check where the problem is ? My detail step is as below:
    1.      Structure     'S_TR_FILE' ,  which  include component  'MIME_TYPE' with data type 'String'  and 'UPLOAD_FILE' with data type 'String'.
    2.    IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DEFINITION
        DATA: lo_structdescr    TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
        FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_new_field_descr> TYPE fpmgb_s_formfield_descr.
        lo_structdescr  ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'S_TR_FILE' ).
        eo_field_catalog = lo_structdescr.
        APPEND INITIAL LINE TO et_field_description ASSIGNING <ls_new_field_descr>.
        <ls_new_field_descr>-name = 'MIME_TYPE'.
        <ls_new_field_descr>-label_by_ddic = 'X'.
        <ls_new_field_descr>-visibility = '01'.
        <ls_new_field_descr>-default_display_type = 'IN'.
        UNASSIGN <ls_new_field_descr>.

        <ls_new_field_descr>-default_display_type = 'FU'.
        <ls_new_field_descr>-mime_type_ref = 'MIME_TYPE'.
    3.  After the OVP page is displayed, I select a xlsx file in 'UPLOAD_FILE', and click "upload" button(toolbar on the top  page) , I can't get any data from IS_DATA in flush method or CS_DATA in Get_DATA.

  • How to get 'linenum' from the order form matrix

    I'v been trying to get this to work for the past 4 hours now and I can't find a solution.
    I have a button on the sales order form, when the user clicks on this button a second screen will appear with more information (stored in a usertable).
    However to be able to get this information from my usertable I need to have the linenum of the selected line (in the matrix).
    I know I can get the 'row' property but this doesn't give me the linenum (wich is the unique key in the RDR1 table).
    Also the 'visorder' column doesn't work since I have textlines in the order that can be placed anywhere and can be more than 1.
    Consider the following scenario:
    Order with the following lines:
    Textline
    article line (actual orderline)  (linenum = 1 / visorder = 0 / row = 2)
    article line (actual orderline)  (linenum = 2 / visorder = 1 / row = 3)
    article line (actual orderline)  (linenum = 3 / visorder = 2 / row = 4)
    textline
    article line (actual orderline)  (linenum = 4 / visorder = 3 / row = 6)---- (this line has been deleted)
    article line (actual orderline)  (linenum = 5 / visorder = 3 / row = 6)
    So in total 6 lines.
    How do I get the 'linenum' from the last line (note that linenum 4 has disappeared because of the deleted row)?
    I looked into using the dbdatasource but with this I gets the entire RDR1 table (for that order) and can't get the linenum (correct one) out off it since the textlines mess up the order.
    Anyone know how to do this?

    Hi Marc,
    Assuming the document is saved, you can use something like the following:
    SAPbouiCOM.Form sboForm = (SAPbouiCOM.Form)_sboApp.Forms.GetForm(ItemEvent.FormTypeEx, ItemEvent.FormTypeCount);
    SAPbouiCOM.Matrix sboMatrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)sboForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
    // Get the document number
    SAPbouiCOM.EditText sboEdit = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)sboForm.Items.Item("8").Specific;
    string sDocNum = sboEdit.Value;
    if (sDocNum == "") // No document is selected in this window so report error
        _sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("No document has been selected", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, true);
    else
        if (sboForm.Mode == SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_ADD_MODE || sboForm.Mode == SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_UPDATE_MODE) // Document must be saved to ensure VisOrder is correct in the database
            _sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("Please save the document first", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, true);
        else
            int iVisOrder = -1;
            string sMessage = "The Line Numbers on this document are: " + System.Environment.NewLine;
            for (int i = 1; i < sboMatrix.RowCount; i++) // Last row is always blank so loop while i is LESS than RowCount
                SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox sboCombo = (SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox)sboMatrix.Columns.Item("257").Cells.Item(i).Specific;
                string sLineType = sboCombo.Selected.Value.ToString();
                if (sLineType == "") // Not a text line or a subtotal
                    iVisOrder++; // Increment your counter to get the next VisOrder value
                    SAPbobsCOM.Recordset sboRec = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)_sboCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
                    try
                        sboRec.DoQuery("select T0.LineNum from RDR1 T0 inner join ORDR T1 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry where T0.VisOrder = " + iVisOrder.ToString() + " and T1.DocNum = " + sDocNum);
                        if (!sboRec.EoF)
                            sMessage += "Row " + i.ToString() + " in the matrix is LineNum " + sboRec.Fields.Item("LineNum").Value.ToString() + System.Environment.NewLine;
                    finally
                        System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sboRec);
                        sboRec = null;
                        GC.Collect();
            _sboApp.MessageBox(sMessage, 1, "Ok", "", "");
    Basically you have a counter that you increment if the matrix line is not a text or subtotal line. This will match the VisOrder value in the RDR1 table which you can use to get the LineNum value.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    You don't.
    The update section will continue to show recently updated apps due to the ability to auto download updates.
    It effects nothing, just ignore them.

  • How to read data from the PDF file

  • When and how does the message context get removed from the message when we use pass thru send port

    Friends,
    i have a doubt regarding message context.
    Assume i have used XMLRecieve pipeline in the receive side to receive the message so that the message context is created. I.e properties are promoted/written.
    now if we use pass thru transmit pipe line at send side, how and when does the message context get removed from the message?? Since pass thru does not have any stages/components, how does the message context removed and sent out a pure message to destination???
     i mean what exactly happens here to remove the context??
    Ravindar

    Thanks for the reply.
    "The Context is created by the Adapter, regardless of any Pipeline or Pipeline Component.  It has nothing to do with PassThrough vs. XmlReceive, although XmlReceive will write Promoted Properties to the existing Context,
    as can any other Component."
    yeah yeah, adapter does create some properties in context. You are right, i am aware of it. I just missed to explain it clearly. what i meant is addition of context properties will not happen if pass thru used. Thanks its clear.
    "No.  The Context already exists on the Message when it comes from the MessageBox and
    is equally available to any Component in any Stage.  The Context that hits the Pipeline is whatever was last Persisted, either by a Receive Port or Orchestration.  It is not created by the XmlAssembler (XmlTransmit)"
    You are right , the context already exists on the message while it leaves the receive port, and once it persists
    to message box the context and message context gets stored in messages in relative tables.
    Now as you said the components get the message from the last persistence, assume i have a send port(with passthru)
    subscriber and a orchestration subsrciber for this message.
    Orchestration gets the message with context right!!
    if the send sendport(with passthru) also gets message along with context, then where is this context removed/demoted
    while sending it out?.  i guess as per SAAkhlaq said,
    here sendport(with passthru) should get a pure message without context as passthru used. 
    or is it that ultimately send adapter removes the context completely?
    or is it something like biztalk run time load the context from database into cache and both orchestration and send port gets pure message, and if needed they use context from cache???
    sorry i may be troubling you, but i am confused. i hope i am not creating any nuisance with this
    post.

  • How to get rid of the "time out" when using DAQ AI in the example program

    I try an example file called "AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkDigRef" (Visual C++ .NET). It works great. However, if the program has not recieved the data, it sent out a timeout message. How to get rid of the "time out"? I cannot find anywhere in the code. Is this a property I have to reset somewhere else?
    Thank you,
    Yajai.

    Hello Yajai,
    The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
    I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Sean C.

  • How to read data from writable PDF Form?

    Hi,
    I need some help for the web site that I am working on.
    This is asp.net website. Client is requesting to provide writeable PDF forms on this website for download.
    These forms will be downloaded by customers, they will fill in the required data on these forms save it and upload the forms back on the website.
    Once uploaded we need to read whtever client has written in these forms and update in the database (SQL server).
    I have been going through adobe web site and lot of other web sites to understand this concept (as i have never done this).
    What I understood is, with Adobe LiveCycle designer and forms we can create writeable forms.
    However I have not got any idea or seen any documentation on how do I read the data that user has typed on these forms.
    This reading the data from pdf and saving into sql server, I have to do it in asp.net app.
    Could anyone please help me understand how to achieve this.
    Thanks a lot for you time.

    How do we do that?
    Just to clarify myself, I am not putting any button on PDF to invoking submit action from PDF. I am allowing user to upload the pdf and they click submit button on my aspx page.
    Are you saying that when user submits the aspx page there is a wasy to retrieve the data in the form of XML or name/value pair on this aspx submit? if so please send me some pointers/examples or let me know how to do this? Is there any additonal tools/software that we will need to buy from adobe for this?
    thanks for you time!

  • Export/Import xml from dynamic pdf form using java

    Hi,
    I have been searching for the last 2-3 days on the internet for this. Some posts do talk about it, but none have provided the answer I was looking for. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post the question in.
    I am working on a desktop swing application that works on extracting and changing data in a XFA form, I would like to export the form's content modify it and import it back using java. This is so easy with the Adobe Reader, where it nicley exports the form content as an XML document, you can change it manually and the import the data back. I am searching for a way of doing this in java. I found XPAAJ.jar mentioned in some forums, that may make this easy. I havent been able to use it, since I cant find it anywhere.
    I found a blog from Mike Potter
    http://blogs.adobe.com/mikepotter/2006/07/download_xpaaj.html
    This says that XPAAJ is free as long as I use it on forms developed using livecycle. I dont own livecycle, but the forms that I am working has been built using livecycle.  So my questions are:
    1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
    2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
    3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
    4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
    5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
    Thanks
    Sethu

    Hi Sethu;
    First, its important to know that xpaaj never was a supported piece of software.  It was supplied "as is" with no support from Adobe.  It has been pulled and is no longer available from the Adobe web site.  Mike's blog is from 2006, so its really old information.
    1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
    While the xpaaj library will import and export data to/from a form on the client, Adobe now recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms server.
    2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
    The license stated that you need to own one of Adobe's server side products (not LiveCycle Designer, but one of the server side LiveCycle products).
    3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
    XPAAJ was pulled by Adobe.  They found a few bugs and since it was unsupported software they just pulled it from the web site.
    4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
    Not from Adobe.  Adobe recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms software for merging data and forms.
    5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
    As far as I know there Adobe doesn't have a client side library available for this (merging dynamic XDP based forms with data).
