Name the PDF file with a field name

Hi,
I'm new to ES2 and Form creation in LiveCycle, my knowledge in scripts is very less or none i can say, if any one out there could help me out with this i'd be greateful.
I have created a fillable PDF Form using LivecCycle ES2 and would like to know how to name the PDF file with a field value from the form when " save form " or " submit " button are clicked.
Thanks in advance.

You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

How to fix the .pdf file with error "invalid annotation object"

how to fix the .pdf file with error "invalid annotation object"

As long as the PDF opens, then just try saving it to a new file name. There may be a preflight script that would help troubleshoot the issue.

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody help me and show me how to do that

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that

Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Combining various PDF files with forms fields: How To?

Hi people.
I have a problem with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and some PDFs.
Each file has a lot of form fields and they has the same name. When I try to combine allowed files in acrobat, the "combinator" throw a message adverting me that the fields are the same and will have the same content. The only posibility is to create a "PDF Folder". But I need to distribute a simple PDF file compatible with Acrobat Reader (and the most usual issue is ... Acrobat Reader 6). So...
Is there any possibility to create a single file from a PDF folder?
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your quickly answer but... if this is the only way... then I have a very very very serious problem.
I have 45 PDF individual files (with two pages each one) and I need to generate a single file with my 45 files (90 pages). Each file has more than 30 fields...
What should I do?
Thanks!

I/O error opening a pdf file with form fields, using itextsharp

Hi,
I'm using itextsharp PDFStamper to set the form fields in a pdf file. It works on my computer properly, but on the QA site and other developer's machine it only shows the values of the form fields, the original text does not show, and it gives the error message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly". Please does any one know what's causing this error and how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Uyi

I recommend you try tech support for the iTextSharp product (I believe
there is a mailing list). This forum is for questions about
understanding the PDF Specifications. You could try an Acrobat forum,
but I think the first option has a better chance of success.

How to compare two separate PDF files with certain fields identical?

Does anyone know of a way that I could compare two separate PDF files containing the same information in certain locations? Please keep in mind that they contain different information as well. I know that it could be done with importing it to excel and running VBA to format the information to be similar and use formulas to validate information is correct, but this needs to be done very quickly with multiple files through out the day. One way to explain what type of PDF file this is, is think of excel: Column A and J contain the same information but B:I contain different information. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

This unfortunately was never answered but we found a different solution rather than comparing PDF's.

How to embed a signature in the PDF file with Java?

Hello All!
There is no problem to sign a PDF with Java for me. But how to embed this signature in the PDF. I really don't know. I've found the PdfSignature class in the iText lib. But it is poor.
I've read on the another forum: "If you want to do server-based signatures, there is only one option - SecurSign http://www.appligent.com)."

Create a DVD with buttons to open the .pdf file with adobe Encore ?

Dear all !
I would like to create a DVD or a CD-Rom support with an interactive menu and buttons which allow us to open some files in.pdf.
It will be a conference DVD with all presentations in. pdf, contact list in .xls file, etc.
Is it possible to create such a DVD with adobe Encore ?
Thank you in advance.
Sév from France.

You could look around for "eDVD." Going back, it was being developed by Sonic, but they dropped it because of issues with Vista. About every 6 - 8 mos., some little tid-bit comes out, that the code has been bought and someone is working on it.
Also, Encore CS5 seems to have added some interactivity elements in BD, but I have only seen some bullet points, and zero details. Since Jeff did not make mention of CS5, my guess would be that the interactivity might not have been what you need - or enough details have not been released yet for any of us to know for sure. The full details will be available very soon though.
Good luck, and hope that whoever did acquire the code from Sonic IS on their way, as this is an oft requested feature.

How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

Hi,
I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
dinamically.
this is the code i am trying to save by default
protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
// this returns pdf byte array
byte ios[] = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
// reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
String docName = reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;
// here docName would be like "RP_COM_COLL_01_Message_Details_03_09_2008_to_03_09_2008"
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + docName ) ;
bos.write (ios);
bos.flush ();
}the above code produces pdf in browser when calling this URL
http://localhost:8080/DAD01TN0801027/RWReportServlet
In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
1. File -> Save As
2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
Can any one help me please
Regards
Sakthivel.

That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.

Open PDF-File (with LinkToURL or what?) !

Hello@all,
I have a PDF-File, which I have stored in my project like a image
(->src->mimes->Components->com.sap.....Comp--->Help.pdf
In the View of this Component I want to have a LinkToURL or something else to open the PDF file with adobe.
Can someone help me for this?
Best regards
Marcus

Hi,
You can alternatively open Pdf using the following logic
String pdfLink = <Your Link>
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(pdfLink);
int lastIndex = pdfLink.lastIndexOf(Constants.PATH_SEP);
String saveFileName = pdfLink.substring(lastIndex);
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(fileIn, saveFileName,WDWebResourceType.PDF,true);
String url = resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,saveFileName).show();
Hope this helps.

Adobe PDF printer failed to create the PDF file

Just installed Acrobat 9 Standard on new HP Touchsmart running Vista 64 bit - tried to create a pdf from a *.pub, and got the error message above, and "please correct the error and try again". If I knew what the error was, I'd try to correct it.

If you check the PDF file with ctrl-D and select the font tab, you will likely find that the font you mention is not embedded. The font not being embedded will make major differences in terms of what fonts Acrobat or Reader finds to do a substitution. Also, the fonts may not display correctly if you have the Use Local Fonts check box selected incorrectly (just try changing that choice).
Fonts can be a major issue in terms of licensing for embedding and such. Also, different job.settings file selections may cause fonts to not be properly embedded.
Since the printer works, the issue of the other packages is the need for PDF Maker to be active in those applications that you are trying to import files from. To check PDF Maker, you need to test it in those applications, not in Acrobat. Trying things in Acrobat is the last step, not the first step. In WORD, there is a need for certain settings to be properly set to allow PDF Maker to work. These may be the issues you are having. So, go back to the applications of interst and be sure that PDF Maker works from the application -- this is the create PDF button.

Want to attach PDF file with invoice

Hi Friends
I want to know, how can we attach the PDF files with Invoice.
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi,
If you are talking about attaching the documents to Invoice, You need to use Generic object service (GOS) along with archival procedure. Please search the SCN, we have some documentation on this.
If it is via E-mail, it is very simple. You can pass the receiver list to SF and send the mail.
Thanks,
Vinod.
