AcroPDF ActiveX control on Excel Userform --- how to include it when I print the form?

Here is a screen-shot of my Excel Userform which IS displaying the correct PDF file inside of an AcroPDF ActiveX control.
Everything works on this form, including an option to print out a full-sized (8.5 x 11) version of the PDF.
However ...
I would like to push the "Print this Form" button, and have a paper copy of exactly what you see on-screen.
The form does print, but the PDF displayed in the ActiveX control is BLANK.
I also have an Image control on this same form with code that allows me to browse for an image file (.JPG) which I use for Custom signs ...
The form prints and the image displayed in the Image Control DOES print with the form.
The Code:
Private Sub cboSelectSign_Change()
Dim MyPDF As String
If Len(Me.cboSelectSign.Value) > 0 Then
    If Me.cboSelectSign.Value = "(Custom)" Then
        Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = False
        Me.ctlImage.Visible = True
        Me.ctlImage.Picture = Nothing
        If MsgBox("Do you have an image that you'd like to display?", vbYesNo, "Display an Image?") = vbYes Then
            fOpenFileBrowser
        End If
    Else
        Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = True
        Me.ctlImage.Visible = False
        MyPDF = Me.cboSelectSign.Column(1)
        Me.txtPDFpath = MyPDF
        Me.AcroPDF1.src = MyPDF
    End If
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
    Me.txtWidth.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

Has anyone had this problem?

How do I direct user to print the form after they click submit?

I am creating a permission for for our scout group. I need them to print the form for their parents to sign after hitting submit. Is there a way I can do it in Forms Central?

Hi,
In the "successful submission of a form, execute this PL/SQL block or PL/SQL procedure" section redirect to the url.
Say you want to redirect to a dynamic page on success, you can do this
begin
<portalschema>.wwa_app_module.set_target('<portalschema>.NEW_DYN.SHOW?p_arg_names=dept&p_arg_values=20');
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to get the number of pages in a PDF file with AcroPDF ActiveX control

Hi,
I am using the AcroPDF ActiveX control provided by Acrobat Reader and Professionals(version 9). I just wonder if I using LoadFile to load a PDF document, how can I know the number of pages in that PDF? I do not find any properites or methods that can do that.
Thanks
Alan

Hi unk2,
There's no functionality in the Acrobat.com online services to do a character count. But, you could use ExportPDF to convert your PDF file to Word format, and then do your character count in Word.
Please let us know if you need additional assistance.
Best,
Sara

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

I am trying to print a pdf document from an electronic journal at my school, and i can only get it to print what is on the screen at the time i hit print. How do i get it to print the whole document?

how do i get it to print the whole article? i don't seem to have a problem printing from my old windows laptop

when I clicked on your link and hit print, all pages were there!
That suggests there's no problem with Safari or Quartz, the PDF rendering engine used by Safari, Preview, and other Mac applications.
When I'm in the database and have the article open that I want to print, I click on the "full text in pdf" link and it opens in another safari window.
Does the PDF in this other Safari window have all the pages? If yes, why don't you print from this window?
It's very difficult to tell what might be going on if you don't give very specific details.
For instance, in many reference databases, full-text articles are not free. You have to pay to view them, either article by article, or by subscription. Your school may have such a subscription, but, if it does, you probably need to access the database through the portal, web site, or facility provided by your school (your school's librarian should be able to help you with that). If you don't, the database has no way of knowing you have a right to view the full text, and may give you just a preview or the article's first page.
Another possibility is that the database provides full-text PDFs in a format not compatible with Quartz, which may be able to render only the first page. But, in such a case, I'd expect Safari to print blank pages. If that's the case, you need to save the PDF on your hard disk and open it with Adobe Reader (Preview wouldn't work).
There are other possibilities, but these two seem to me the most likely.
Would I have to save it in preview first
You should save the PDF on your hard disk from Safari. (I think you should do this anyway, just in case you need to refer to the article again later.) Instead of just clicking the "'full text in pdf' link", press and hold Control, then click. This should give you a contextual menu; if the link points to a PDF file, you should see the commans "Save Linked File to 'Downloads'" and "Save Linked File As…". Use either, save the file, then, in Finder, double-click on it. Preview should open it.
It is possible that the link is not to a PDF file, but to a script which fetches that PDF file for you. In that case, it's pointless to download it. Click on it, and then, if the PDF viewing window opens in Safari, move the cursor towards the centre of the bottom of the window. A bar with commands should appear; one of them will download the file to your Downloads folder.

How do i repeat a section of the form can i copy and paste?

How do i repeat a section of the form with out creating it again.

Is there anything special about your drop downs (lots of choices)? Are the drop downs part of the selection? You may need to select all of the fields in the section then add the drop downs to the selection by using control-click (command-click on Mac).

How can I make signature darker when I print the report?

I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
Thanks.

No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

How to include non database item in the query

Hi
I have a Master-Detail form. where in the detail block one of the field is text item 'X' attached the list of values(Y). Master block includes non database items which is based in the decoding result of the database items for example:
Gender(Male, Female)>> non database item
Gender_id(M,F)>>database item
the form is created based on the template.fmb form for apps. When I run the form in the query mode, i can query about any database item while including query about others non database item does not affect.
how to can i modify it so this could be handled??
I know that one way to avoid this issue is to create a view with all my desired field.
but there should be away to override the build in query used by oracle apps...
any one has a link, source, document... etc that help on this??
any idea how to do it without creating a view??
thnx alot

Hi HST,
You can code the handling in POST-Query of the corresponding block to retrive the corresponding data depending on the Queried data.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with the photo files?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

How do I make a button onj the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

how do I make a button on the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

You can set up a button with a "Submit a form" action and use a mailto type URL to specify the email address you want the forms sent do. If you want to send the entire PDF, select that option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL should not include any spaces and the "mailto" part should be lowercase, like:
mailto:[email protected]
This will attempt to initiate an email using the users default email client. If the user does not have one set up or there is some other problem, the email might not get initiated. If it needs to work with Reader versions prior to 11, then the form needs to be Reader-enabled, which you do in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)
