Automatically creating non-interactive PDF forms from XML data

Hi All,
I am a newbie to the whole Adobe LifeCycle Designer product and have been trying to find a definitive technical article on a way to automatically create pdf documents from template forms using XML data. I can create the XML, I can create the form based on the XML schema but I can't seem to find anything which explains how to automatically associate the form with the each xml file that I create and produce a pdf document based on the xml data.
The project I am working involves creating marketing brochures, driven from our enterprise databases, to be sent to a printer. No user interaction is required, and I estimate that we'll need to create around 500-1000 pdf's per day.
To me this seems like it should be quite a simple task but I can't find anything which gives me a starting point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Nick Smith

Hi Nick,
Just curious if you figured out how to generate a PDF out of a template? I've a similar requirement where I transform XML schemas into templates, convert the template into a PDF document, and at run time bind the PDF with the form data.
To sort of answer your question of how to bind an XML instance file to a form, if that form is an XML-FORM, then all you'd need to do is open that document as a PDF document using the PDFFactory, and invoke the importFormData() method on it, passing the XML instance as the input stream.
The harder part though is getting the PDF out of the template in the first place, without using any adobe user interface period.

Non-interactive PDF forms & licences

Hello,
I need an advice. I created WD application using non-interactive PDF form. Actually I used UI element InteractiveForm but we didn't place any editable element (text box, dropdown list, ...) into it. We just want to generate the PDF form dynamically. And now we need to know whether it's necessary to buy any licence for this use case. Does somebody know that?
After deployment I can't open the PDF form. The report "500 Internal Server Error ..." is displayed and there is message "... The error is: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF ..." in defaltTrace file.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much! The answer was really helpful. But I have one more question. I have changed preview type from INTERACTIVE FORM to PRINT FORM as you recommended but it still doesn't work.
There is written "
...PDFObjectRuntimeException: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.
com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights.
" in defaultTrace file.
Till now I didn't asked SAP for sending credential. Now I did that. Do you think that it could be the problem? I thought it's not necessary for non-interactive forms.

Non-Interactive PDF Form scenario without rthe need of ACF

Hello experts,
i have a question for you. I implemented Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form scenario and it works fine. But ... If some user wants to generate the PDF form it's necessary to install Active Component Framework on his computer. Problem is that some users doesn't have admin permissions on their PCs and they are not able to install ACF. Do you have any idea how to walk around the problem? For example generate and save the PDF somewhere on server side and then offer download link to end-user....
Thank you in advance for every reply!
Best regards,
Zbynek

I use Adobe Reader 8.1.2 so I think the problem will be somewhere else.
There is written
Step-1: In NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS), set the "displayType"
        property of your Interactive Form UI element to "native"
        instead of "activex".
Step-2: Use the Web Dynpro specific controls from the "Web Dynpro
        Native" library to design your interactive form.
Step-3: When the application is developed completly, build and deploy
the application on SAP J2ee engine.
Step-4: Run the application without having the ACF installed on the
        browser machine.
in the note 1055911. But I think that we use some controls from other libraries than Web Dynpro Native (step 2). Do you think it could be the problem? The Web Dynpro Native library contains very reduced set of controls.

Zbynek

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Programmatically filling in fields of an interactive PDF form from a database

I have a web app written in Grails, but it doesn't matter. I ask is there possible way to send the data from database into the the third party interactive PDF form? If yes, what tools from Adobe I would need to make this kind of web app plugin? Is it possible to view Javascript code of once made PDF?

You can simply create an FDF or XFDF file and return that to the browser.

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9
Developed a interactive PDf form
Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

Create and populate pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by other users. This users would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

Non - interactive PDF form needs to be typed in

I have a PDF form, non-interactive, which I would like to type the answers into. Easiest and most effective way to do this? Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
"Into" is difficult. "Onto" is workable.
Open the document in Preview.
Go File > Save as... and choose PICT.
Open a New AppleWorks Draw document.
Drag the PICT version of the pdf document into the Draw doc (or go File > Insert to insert the file).
If necessary, resize the image to fit the page.*
For each answer:
Choose the Text tool from the Tools palette, and drag a Text frame onto one of the answer spaces.
Type in the answer.
Repeat as necessary.**
When finished, press command-P to get to the Print dialogue, then either Print the document, or click the PDF button to save it as a PDF file.*
Regards,
Barry
*Use Scale by Percent, in the Arrange menu if the image is larger than the page space. Drag the handles at each corner of the image if they're all visible.
**You can also type a few characters into the first answer space, then press command-D to duplicate the frame, and drag the duplicate(s) to the other answer spaces. Text frames drop off the document if they contain no text.
*The PDF file will lose sharpness due to recompression each time it is changed and saved.

How can I automatically fill and save PDF forms from an iSeries database file withouth viewing PDFs?

We have incoming data that we need to insert into a PDF form then save an individual PDF file for each record from the database table for our Image system. Data is coming from an iSeries file and I can Manually perform all the steps within the process, but this needs to be something that we can run from a scheduled job and should be a totally hands off process. The form is in Adobe Acrobat and I've been trying some of the JavaScript pieces, but can't seem to get everything to run automatically. I'm new to PC programming and can use any suggestions on how to handle this process.

You might want to post this to the Acrobat SDK forum here. For it to work with Acrobat, it cannot be a completely automated process, however, due to licensing (and technical) restrictions. There are a number of third-party APIs that might help. If you post again, include what format the data is in (FDF, XFDF, XML, XDP) and what programming languages you can work in.

Populate PDF form with XML data

Although a seemingly simple task, this question has occupied way too much of my time the last week and I am asking the following out of sheer desperation and frustration.
I have a pdf form created with Designer 7.0. I have a separate XML data file to populate the form with. I can test using the preview in Designer and everything looks great. Now, all I want to do is deploy this pdf to a standard web server (IIS, Windows) such that any visitor to the site (using Reader) is able to open it/view it/print it, with the data there. That's it.
This was easily accomplished using Acrobat 6 by creating an ASP page that output an FDF file which referenced the PDF. Not so with the latest version.
I have downloaded three separate several hundred page documents that do not explain how to accomplish this task simply. So to summarize:
1. Does this task *require* a separate piece of software (Document Server) that was not required before?
2. If Document Server is not required, what are the steps to publish the pdf file and reference the data file?
Please help, extraordinarily frustrated :-(.

Ravinder, were you actually able to get your PDF Document (Form) to load with data? I have not been able to get my .NET page to populate my PDF document - the PDF loads in my Browser but has no data. If you can post sample code that you were able to get to work, it would be appreciated, or if you notice something wrong with my code below, please let me know. Also, when my PDF document loads in my browser, I am prompted to "Open or Save" my .xdp file and if I click "Open", my PDF Form loads, but the fields are not populated. How do I stop this prompt from loading? I don't want the user(s) to be able to see this.

Populating a PDF form with XML data

Hi folks,
I would like to create some pdf form template, populate it with xml data and output from it a pdf file.
Can I do such thing using LiveCycle?

With the recent release Adobe changed the name to Adobe Digitial Enterprise Platform (ADEP)..
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/customer-experience/enterprise-platform.html
ADEP server software comes with lot of services to help with many solutions for the enterprises, so it would be better to call the Adobe Sales team and discuss your needs and they will be best people to suggest what suits your company requirements.

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

PDF Report from XML Data

Hi,
I'm working on one BI report for which XML data has been provided.This report needs to get AP check details (XML Data) and print them on checks
Based on xml data I'm trying to create RTF layout from BI desktop MS word add in
I'm loading xml data using insert field option pulling all required fields into RTF layout.
Here I faced Few issues,
1) in xml data I've more than one column with the same name for ex :
<Name> 23 </Name>
<Value>35</Value>
again I'm having another column with the same name.Though I'm pulling required column it's showing different value
2) Another issue is I'm pulling values under particular node it's not displaying right value
3)How to create group or repeating groups based on XML data for ex: checks needed to be printed based on supplier no or check no how to set group by for this ?
4) Right now my layout displays only one record eventhough more than one record is there in xml data?.
Thanks,
Kiran

Creating dynamic HTML form from XML data in session

I'm a bit new to servlets, please bear with me if I don't make myself clear.
currently i have a HttpServlet that extracts a XML document into a jdom Document.
this is done within the doGet() method as the XML document is in the session object.
i would like to create a popup window (a JSP or servlet) that can access the same session, convert some of the data in the XML to a submit form that users can put input into, and have the JSP(or maybe servlet) send the form data and the XML back to the original HttpServlet (through the session object).
i have a few questions on how to make this happen:
1.how to create a popup window (JSP or servlet) in a servlet, and forward the session data as well?
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits some extra data back to the original httpservlet, will the XML document still be retained in the session?
and any advise on how to go about this problem is highly appreciated!

Hi,
This is my first time posting a reply. Hope this helps.
I am assuming that you are hitting the servlet from a link. This is one way of doing it. You can create a new window using Javascript. like this.
<script language="javascript">
var popupWin
function openWindow(page){
popupWin=window.open(page,"","width=800,height=600,resizable,scrollbars");
</script>
link
The response of your servlet will be in the new pop-up window.
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits
some extra data back to the original httpservlet,
will the XML document still be retained in the
session?The session should be retained as long as you are hitting the same servlet container . You should be able to access the seesion variable in the original servlet if the form in the pop-up window calls the original servlet.

How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email. As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business. Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly.
Thank you in advance,
~Kara

Yes, this is the page that the pdf is on. It's the link that says "Online Ordering Form."
