2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
ServletException, IOException
oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
try {
FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
fsb.processForm(request);
File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
out.close();
When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
Thanks,
Chad

Thanks Rakhi, but that did not resolve my issue. Below is new out as per the thread suggestion and this is not what I wanted.:

Font/Formatting issues with Reports/Forms

Hello,
Can you please allow us to specify the formatting attributes in Portal Reports and Forms ? In Portal reports, for e.g, it would be great if we had one set of formatting for the report header and another for the report data. Same way, for forms, we would like to format the labels in forms and different formatting for the rest of the form.

One thing you might do is this. Don't display the Title View in your reports. You can do this either by deleting the views from the Compound Layout or, within Edit Dashboard, by selecting only the view that contains the report. (Obviously, if your report has several view, you would need to choose the first route.)
Instead of the Title View, do this: In the Dashboard section which contains both reports, click on the "Rename" button. Type the name of that best illustrates both reports, check the "Display Section Heading" checkbox and click "OK."
Next, click the "Rename" button again and this time go in to the formatting section to format as required. (Note: After you check the checkbox, if you don't click "OK" right after, the check mark won't stick. So click "OK" and then go back in to do any formatting you wish.)
This method allows the user to collapse the section and still see what the section is about. This is good practice when you have several reports in one dashboard page. Even collapsing all the sections, you can see what is "inside" and expand the appropriate section.

Date Format Issue with Interactive Form

Hi, here is the scenario:
-We just upgraded to SP17 from SP15
-I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0
When we were on SP15, this was not an issue. I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem and if so, if there is a workaround?
I create an interactive form to start a guided procedure process. Im passing the data from my desktop Interactive form to another callable object in GP to send an email with the PDF attached. This all works correclty.
My date/time fields are set to type DATE with a display pattern of YYYY-MM-DD. When I create the form in the GP administrator to my desktop and open the PDF, the date format is correct. However, when I submit the form to start the process, the incomming date fields to be mapped to my second Callable Object have change in format from "2009-02-18" to "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009".
This is true in the new form I receive via email, and also in NWA->monitoring->guided procedures when I check the instances. The input mapping is already set to the false formatting.
When I open the form from the second callable object with the incorrect date format (in designer), the date's display patterns are set to YYYY-MM-DD but are not being displayed as such.
New discovery....I tried to create a Business Logic callable object and format the date. I created a string input and date output and mapped them accordingly. When I perform a "TEST" from the design time and use the input "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009", the string is automatically converted to 18/02/2009 in the output, which is what I want to occur. The only problem is when I run the actual process, the same "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009" is being output instead of the 18/02/2009 in the TEST.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

     String test1 = "3/21/00";
     System.out.println("test1: " + test1 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test1)));
     String test2 = "4/9/99";
     System.out.println("test2: " + test2 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test2)));

Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
lastest build release.
Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
Thanks,
Dan VanWieren

Can you tell me how to use </td> for each values
Give me your example report - using before or after report
Thanks

Hi Gavin,
If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
then
-- insert your HTML code in the value

newValue := '' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '
srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
else
-- when generating to other format,
-- you'd have to add the formatting as
-- you want.
end if
return( true );
Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
Good luck... :-)

Uk date format issue with ASP and Access Database

I have an Asp form which updates records in an Access
database. Problem is
that the date format in the database record is dd/mm/yyyy
(UK), when
the record is displayed on the form it is mm/dd/yyyy(US)
which after I
update the record in the database the date has changed to the
new format.
I have tried everything I can to change the format but to no
avail...anyone any ideas how I can resolve this issue?

Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
set to US
format, not the UK.
On your page at the top use:
<% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
it on any
page that needs to format the page correctly.

Urgent :post xml for xsql difference with html form post

Hi,
We are developing an application to process xml request
posted by external party. The requests arrive by
http-post operation
We developed and tested with an html-form.
Now we encounter problems in testing with http-post
The xsql page is processed correctly but
insert only fixed text when formatting xml-data as input for
the insert-request, string inserted is empty.
Everything is by the book and html-forms works great.
Is anybody else using xsql to insert xml data in the database on this version? Maybe can you help by looking into a testcase ? Issued a tar but am on terrible deadline
so need help very soon.
Details: HP-UX 11.11 Oracle 9.2.0.4 java1.4 ojdbc 1.4
Tnx in advance,
Jeroen

Mark,
Have an external partner which sends xml-requests.
Have to read those, store them and process them.
Idea is let them
1)post the xml at a url where an xsql page is reading the xml
2) transforming this for an insert into
the database. The column is defined to store the complete xml-message.
3) A trigger takes care of processing the stuff and preparing the output
4) and a query in the xsql-page reads the output from an output table
When developing and testing this with an html-form that posts the xml is works great.
$ cat newclobins.xsql
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >
<xsql:set-session-param name="id">
select msgid.nextval from dual
</xsql:set-session-param>
<xsql:dml>
delete cbs_msg_in where id={@id}
</xsql:dml>
<xsql:insert-request table="cbs_msg_in" column="id,msg" transform="cbsform_1.xsl"/>
<data>
<xsql:query null-indicator="yes">
select msgid,msg from cbs_xml_out where msgid={@id}
</xsql:query>
</data>
</page>
$ cat cbsform_1.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="request">
<ROW>
<MSG><xsl:value-of select="parameters/doc" /></MSG>
<ID><xsl:value-of select="session/id" /></ID>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
1) When using a tool like
http://www.programmersheaven.com/articles/adrian/getpost/article.html it fails with
No rows to modify -- the row enclosing tag missing. Specify the correct row enclosing tag.
2) When using the commandline utility like
xsql jeroen5.xsql posted-xml=test3.xml
this works great when inserting plain text but not
when inserting xml-format data into a column
So problem 1 is why external tools like above or my partner that uses .net to do something similar gives this strange error?
Problem nr 2 is should I stick to just the data in xml and forget about storing the xml-formatted data?
Hope you can help because I am getting quite desparate here.
Regards,
Jeroen

Mail formatting issues with 1.1.1 update

With the 1.0.2 firmware HTML-formatted e-mail displayed correctly, if a bit too small to read, just like web pages do. Just like web pages, I could double-tap on - say - a table or a bit of text to zoom in and/or use pinch gestures to zoom in and out.
Now when I look at the same e-mails that looked so good in 1.0.2, my iPhone re-formats and re-flows the e-mails into gibberish, kinda like PocketIE does on Windows Mobile. One e-mail (a hotel registration confirmation) had the header re-flowed into 60 or 70 lines of one character each. The daily status messages I get from my SBS2003 server - which were completly unreadable on my old XV6700 with WM5 - looked great on 1.0.2. With 1.1.1, the tables are scrunched up, many text fields have a second or third line with one or two characters on them, ect.
Anyone else notice this? It's annoying enough that I'm almost willing to give up the other 1.1.1 features to get my mail working right again.

Solved the problem with bit locker (and refresh and reset and a couple of other things that rely on the windows boot manager by reinstalling windows (went to Windows 10). That also solved my issues with high Cpu when playing YouTube videos and photoshop crashes due to the fact that Windows 10 loads the latest Intel drivers.
Unfortunately the issue of Bluetooth mouses freezing still happens, though only twice yesterday, so that's an improvement.

Issue with HTML tags visible in Outlook emails

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a website I'm working on.
On our site, we have a page that generates emails after certain events occur. These are sent to a forwarding address on our mail server, which is then sent to several users on our mail server. These users have their accounts set up in Outlook (one in 2007,
one in Mac 2011).
We're are having an issue where these emails are displaying in Outlook with all of the HTML tags in the email visible. One of the users spoke to Microsoft support, and they remoted in and went through their Outlook settings and were not able to find any issues
there.
This issue is not global exactly. When one of the users added their email to their iPhone, the email displayed correctly. We added a Gmail account and my work account (which I also access through Outlook) to the forwarding list, and it displayed correctly in
both. When we view these emails in the server's webmail client, the emails display fine. The issue seems to be with some discrepancy between Outlook and our email server.
I spoke to our webhost about the issue, and they swore up and down the issue had nothing to do with them, and that it had to be an Outlook issue. I've had several professional web developers analyze the code that creates these emails, and they found nothing
wrong with it. Something that several of my colleagues and our webhost suggested is that the issue could be with the email headers. This is the header for the email, as viewed through Outlook:

FCP and Motion formatting issues with DVCPro 50?

The material is DVCPro 50 NTSC 48khtz. (Item properties indicate that I initially digitized it properly.) My sequence settings are DV50 NTSC 48khtz.
I wanted to create a vignette effect so I exported my clips as a Quicktime (current settings) sequence to Motion. When I was done there I exported the sequence from Motion back to FCP as a DV NTSC movie.
Some of the Motion effected clips will play, look great and then all the sudden I see a black band appear on the East side of the frame. I can stretch it in Motion some but it just degrades the image so I'd rather not.
I'm surely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction here.

Thanks for the workflow tips and suggestions. I backtracked to my original sequence and found the problem originates there. I have narrow black lines on both sides of all these clips. Since I resized a few clips with moves, I didn't recognize the problem. Now that I'm closer the root of it, any suggestions?
By the way, these problematic clips are intercut with no problem library footage that was also shot on DVCPro 50 and I took in on the same deck.
I cruised the forum for any occurence of a similiar issue and most replies seem to suggest a formatting issue. I don't get it since I think I have everything set up correctly. As a precaution, I also tossed out my preferences using FCP Rescue 5.
Welcome to the discussions, splotch.
Not sure what is causing this, but I might propose an
alternate workflow. Have your clips on the timeline
as you wish, ctrl/right click on them and select
Send To Motion.... Click the
embedded and open Motion ticks, give it a name, then
continue. Do your work in Motion, save, quit, and
fall back into FCP. Your clips may lose their
"anamorphicness" on their round trip, but just
ctrl/right click on the clip and select Item Properties/Format..., then
click on the anamorphic button.
Try this and see if you are still getting the same
problem...

Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.
<MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

Help... Populate pdf form fields with html form inputs.

I have a website that allows users to choose the pdf document they want and create. After selecting which pdf they want to create they are redirected to a web page with a html form. The html form has questions that corresponds with the the form fields of the pdf document the user selected. When submitted the code (ASP, PHP whatever is the easier) runs a script that populates the pdf document form fields. The user is then prompted if they want to save or open the document. The newly created pdfs and the user inputs do not need to be saved on the server.
I create the pdf templates using PDF 6.0 professional
Server can be windows or linux
I understand ASP a little but will use whatever is feasible
Purchasing a program is okay as long as its reasonable and is changeable by me and I have full control.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
John

Data Integration issue with Adobe form

Hi,
We have been using many xACF forms in our WebDynpro java based application.
For one of the xACF adobe form sometimes I'm not getting the data from adobe form to webdynpro context.
Anyone can pls tell what may be the problem other then binding because that part i have already checked and it's working fine in some of the PC.
Regards
Ravindra Singh

Hi Chintan,
thanks for your reply.
I tried that part already by converting xACF form to ZCI but facing issues with the drop-downs.
Actually some of the dropdowns have values more than 1000. The value help for these drop downs comes as pop up in case of ZCI forms and the mazer problem is that in offline scenario doesn't even shows values for such dropdowns as a pop up or normal drop down.
As per the SAP Note 1013227 we are using the enumerated type of drop downs for such larger values but no help in offline scenario. I tried by changing the parameter value in visual admin as suggested in sap note which prevents pop-up for lager values but it's not recommended by SAP. Only because of this issue we are not able to migrate from xACF to ZCI.
Do you have any idea how to get values for such drop downs in offline scenario.
Thanks & Regards
Ravindra Singh

Formatting issues with "Justify"

I have a problem. I have a text field that ought to be justified and multiple paragraphs or a list of items will be entered into the text field.
However, it appears the last line of each Justified (flush left and right) paragraph is spread across the text field, resulting in a very ugle display in the PDF (see below).
Are there any known work arounds for this? Do I have an issue with my settings? Is this a bug?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Prash,
Throw this into a text object at the bottom of your dashboard and check the enable HTML option.
It'll left justify ONLY the view selector drop down box.
Cheers!

PHP mail issues with Muse Forms

I've been trying to findout why my forms are not being sent from my Muse forms. I have spoken with Adobe through the forums and they tell me it's an issue with my Hosting, I've soken with my Hosting, and they said it's an issue with Adobe Muse forms. The bottom line is, I'm in the middle, with forms still not sending.
The latest information I have had back from my Hosting company - UKFast:
EMAIL 1:
Regarding your issue: I'm able to see from the logs on the server that the mail service is up and running and listening for mail connections. Furthermore, I have placed a simple PHP mailer script in /root/testmail.php which sends a quick test message to my mailbox here at UKFast.
I can see that when sending a message through this script, the message passes through your server correctly and is successfully delivered to my mailbox. Here's an example from the logs:
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/root 3 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
2013-06-27 10:49:35 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=437 T="Test mail" for [email protected]
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ => <my email> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=mx02.filter.magicmail.co.uk [81.201.128.59]
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ Completed
To better advise of the cause to your issue, would you be able to provide some accurate time and dates for messages that you have tried to send. With that information, I should be able to pinpoint the message sending attempts in the logs and hopefully unearth the underlying issue stopping the mail going through for you.
EMAIL 2:
I have just tested your script for you and it seems the form does not push to the mailqueue as it should.
We have managed to establish that Mail is working on the server and PHP can push to it, as per Joe's previous response, thus this is looking like an issue with the code of the page.
Can someone from Adobe please respond to this, UKFast are saying it's not them, and to be honest, I did run your PHP server test on my server and it scored 3 ticks, all working. So whats going on? I neeed the form function, can someone make it work, or tell me whats needed on my server to make it work.

I am facing same issue. Even my host provider could not help me. All my inputs are corrent.
Some php specialist told me, you have to write smtp details in php. I am using muse because I do not know any coding.
What is SQL configuration and how to fix this form issue. Expection some guidence from Muse experts...

Book Module format issue with Blurb

I uploaded a book to Blurb with two separate 2 page spreads filled with one photo across the two pages. This first photo appears mismatched with the right side being slightly smaller than the left side. The second photo appears with properly matched sizes.
When I export the book as a PDF both images are cooreclty sized and aligned. Have tried my book creation & upload on windows 32 bit and windows 64 bit. Same results.
Is there any solution to this glitch or some sort of work around?

trshaner wrote:
Essentially there is only one Blurb.icc file and its paper type agnostic.
No such thing really. Profiles must take paper into account. Like you, I have that swatch book and measured each. They are all over the map in terms of their measured values for paper and worse, OABs. One size doesn't fit all but can if you don't mind suboptimal to really poor results!
My guess is that the single Blurb.icc profile is actually the Blurb Standard paper profile.
It isn't even a blurb standard paper profile, it's based on GRACoL which I'm fairly certainly isn't what they are producing on all those papers given the standards. What they are doing is supplying a profile for soft proofing that has no bearing on the output to make those who feel they kind of, sort of understand color management and want to soft proof feel better. If you owned an Epson printer and output to Luster paper, how would supplying a profile for that printer but based on Matt work out? Not well. This is akin to the silly photo lab, RGB workflow where you are given an output profile you can't use and told to send sRGB. Rather pointless but if it makes the user feel that by soft proofing they've done something useful, better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Based on sending the same images to differing vendors who produce books using Indigo (at least for the inside of the book), Blurb is far from best in class in my experience. And for B&W, on top of all the issues I've outlined, even the best shop is going to have issues with the Indigo screening which produces crossover in terms of color over the press sheet. That alone is a problem unless HP has updated their screening as they have promised for some time. Dead nuts neutral is hard to do!
