Binding data to form fields

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24 -7a0a.html

In Support for CFCs outside webroot it states:
In addition to accessing CFCs using relative or absolute path, you can also use any of the following methods to access CFCs:
    logical mappings (defined in the ColdFusion Administrator)
Yet when I try that I get the error:
The path to the CFC must be specified as a full path, or as a relative path from the current template, without the use of mappings.
My version of CF from the Administrator page is:
Version 9,0,1,274733
What am I missing?

    how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

    Easiest way to do it is the following:
    - Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
    - Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
    - Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
    - Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
    - Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
    - Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
    - Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
    - Select the edited XML file and import it.
    - Done!

  • Trying to bind XML data and form fields

    I have a fairly simple PDF - and I am trying to bind XML data to he form fields.
    In the designer I can bring up the data connection and
    select Global - for the binding method - and as I understand it - this will link Form Fields and XML data fields with the same name - (sounds logical to me)
    but all that happens is :
    I see the name of the field in the form field rahter than seeing the actual data
    should I select : None as the binding or normal ....
    but Normal doesnt show Anything - even after i select it .
    I can't quite seem to make this work -
    Any help here would be appreciated
    Thanks :)

    This is on a stand - alone system
    Using Designer ES ......
    I saved the Form as an xdp form
    and it seems as if all goes well until
    View the data and nothing appears - or
    just the names of the fields appear

  • Why no Date Selector Form Field

    Why has Acrobat Pro not included a date selector as one of their form fields when it is such an important and useful option?

    Good question! This is something I've feature requested for some time. There's one for XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer, Reader for iOS allows the native iOS date selector, and Forms Central forms have one. The problem with Acroforms is a new type of form field would have to be approved by the ISO folks who now control PDF. But it could also be implemented as a JavaScript method, similar to app.popUpMenu, which would allow backwards compatibility.
    Please submit a feature request so there's some hope of this being added in the future. In the mean time, it's possible to built a date picker using a collection of form fields, as demonstrated with the free Form Router toolset: http://www.formrouter.com/tools/index.html

  • Importing data into form fields

    I own a retail parts store, and one of my suppliers has given me a flyer that has been created with a form so that their customer's (myself included) can manipulate that pricing to our liking.
    My issue is that the flyer was created using American dollars, and I need to convert the entire 24 pages to Canadian dollars....and a newer flyer comes out every two months.
    They do include a pricing file in numerous different formats (which I can easily multiply),  but due to the fact that each price has been entered into a form field in the pdf flyer, I cannot figure out how to export that data, let alone import the new pricing back in.
    Attatched is one page of the flyer if that will help.
    I have been trying to find an answer to this for some time now, if anyone has an idea or can point me in the right direction I would be very greatful.

    Thank you for your reply, and yes, I am able to merge the form's data files into a spreadsheet, through manage form data, but I cannot get that data back into the pdf document once I have changed the info in a spreadsheet.  Using the import option will only allow .fdf  files to be imported, in which I cannot manipulate the data.

  • Save data entry form fields after closing it or save it under another name.

    It is very common that a user begins to fill in a form, but he wants to finish it in another time. The user closes the PDF document and the system wants to know Whether to save changes or not, select one of the two (2) options.
    Yes or File name. (Save As or Close)
    The user needs to know if all must be saved it with the same name or with other name.
    ONLY All those fields, Checkbox or Dropdown list that have been used, pass to mode (Read Only) being available, those which still not have been used.
    I know that using the Acrobat JavaScript console can implement the code that manages this.
    • The question is: Is there anyone in this forum that hwo can help me? If YES, please write the JavaScript code.
    Thanks to all those who work with your help in this forum.
    Aldi.

    Thanks for your answer. The final user will use the latest version of Adobe Reader XI. The configuration of this form is done in Adobe Acrobat XI and Save As Other ... Adobe Reader Extended PDF option is enabled. 
    All I need is the JavaScript code that performs the action when the end user since XI Reader saves the form, only text fields, drop down lists and check boxes that used to pass read-only mode. This allows users to protect the data you entered and continue later until finished.
    Once the user has finished filling out this form, send it to another user, and the only thing you can do is read, but not edit, delete or change the information.
    Thank you once more for your help

  • Insert data to form fields

    I am not sure if Firefox is preventing me from using a program to protect my passwords, but I am now unable to use it via this browser (I believe I have v21 installed...whatever the current version is).
    To describe the program, it is basically like osk.exe (on-screen keyboard) where I type the passwords in, and then I drag it over to the password field. (osk.exe actually types the letters into the field, whereas the other program I use does not.)

    Have to comment that now FF seems to be working with the program. I have no idea what caused it to stop and start working again.
    I noticed when it started working again that I was still on FF21, but as I checked on that, I was upgraded to FF22, so I believe the update did not resolve anything.
    Either way, all is good on my end here.

  • How do I add a current date to a form field so that it will give me the current date each time it is opened?

    I have adobe 9 pro. I am currently adding fields to a document and would like my date field to display the current date when the document is opened so that the user does not have to enter the date each time. How do I do that?

    Have you searched for this issue. It has been answered many times.
    Example Acrobat JavaScripts
    Scroll down to the . Insert Today's Date into Form Field section.

  • How to view the Form Fields in Process data model?

    Hi all,
    I have made a form in LC Designer containing some name,ID and other generic details.Is there a way by which i can see those nodes in Proces data model when i load that document?.As of now it shows only attribute as Object. Can't I access those fields like name, id etc thru model directly.??

    You have to define an XML Schema for the form and bind the form fields to the XML Schema. Additionally, embedding the XML Schema in the form makes life easier.
    Given an XML Schema you will be able to navigate through the document hierarchy and access form fields in the XPath navigator.
    If you would like a sample form, just send me a request at [email protected]

  • Round trip clearing adobe form field values not binded to webdynpro context

    Hi ,
    I have developed a webdynpro ABAP application with Interactive form. I'm calling a webservice on 'exit event' of the one of the form fields. Once webservice is executed, Im filling a table with 300 rows which is in the form. The table fileds are binded to webservice fields from the dataview of the form , these are not webdynpro context attributes in the data view.
    But when I open any seach help , this table values are disappearing. I need to execute the webservice again to get the values.
    can any one tell why the values in the table are disappearing? since I have binded to the webservice fields the values should remain there.
    Apprecaite your response.
    Regards,
    Ravi

    I looked over that note yesterday, but too quickly - i thought it was an older note explaining which standard programs to run to test out the connection etc...
    but i see now that there is an important point:
    The "pdfSource" attribute of the InteractiveForm UI element should be linked only if the Web Dynpro ABAP application requires the PDF document for further processing (saving data to the database, and so on). However, it is mostly only the data entered in the interactive form that is relevant for the application. If this attribute is linked, the Web Dynpro ABAP framework must request an updated PDF document from the Adobe document services each time data is changed in the form.
    It looks like this is saying that a round trip is possible in WDA.
    EDIT - I wish SAP would fix this certificate issue. My first post every day is doubled because of it.

  • How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

    Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form  is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
    I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout.  Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

    It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
    You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
    iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
    You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
    Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

    Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

  • Adobe Reader 9.4  won't allow saving-copying-printing of data entered into form fields.

    Hello, all.  I own a fully automated Continuing Education website with a national customer base.  The release of Adobe Reader 9.4 has brought a major problem for us which we haven't been able to overcome, and it's a critical issue which will destroy our business if the problem continues. 
    The problem:  Our professionally licensed website users earn online, instantly downloadable Continuing Education certificates in PDF file format, which are auto-generated by our software program when the user has successfully completed a course and its quiz.
    Each certificate is a template created by Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 which contains the boilerplate course goals, credit hours earned for the course, plus all of our educational approval numbers needed to conduct business in each state.  THE PROBLEM HERE is that these generated certificates ALSO have form fields which are auto-completed by our system when the user successfully completes his or her course - i.e., the user's name, his license number, and the date and hour and minute of completion.  Until some of our customers began to use Adobe Reader 9.4 on their PC this past week, the certificate generation process has performed flawlessly - for over 3 years now, for over a thousand customers - the only exception being the  occasional MAC user who needs to download the correct version of Adobe Reader, and to use the correct browser. 
    Beginning last week, site users who have downloaded 9.4 can no longer SAVE their Continuing Education certificates to their computer with their name, license and date and time of completion showing on the certificate.   And they can't even print the certificate correctly - their name, license, and date of completion appear as blank lines.  They can't download or email the certificate with the critical form field data showing on the document. This is a devastating situation for our business and for the users - who certainly won't return, and are demanding refunds. 
    In fact, I (who installed 9.4 last week) discovered that I can't even download and save an intact copy of a customer's certificate from my own website, OR copy and paste information from a client's generated certificate in order to manually create a certificate for him or her.  The on-screen message tells me that I am not allowed to do this with this document .... despite the fact that I was the creator of the document. Needless to say, when I un-installed 9.4, I had none of these problems.
    Customers wouldn't have problems either if they uninstalled 9.4 - but you can't tell customers who call in to complain, to uninstall their Adobe Reader program and find something else.  They also have to use Adobe Reader to view over half of the courses we offer, and they need to be able to work with them effectively with no problems. 
    In the past, because of occasional Adobe Reader problems of a different sort, we could tell customers to use Foxit or Nitro PDF if they had Adobe issues.  But that was back in the day when there was no competition in running an online CE website.  Now there is plenty of competition, and customers will just go elsewhere before they will try to reconfigure their computer just to stay with our site.
    I will bet that hundreds (thousands?) of other online businesses who work with system-generated form fields in PDF documents have been similarly affected.   
    Is there a solution here?  Surely this was an UNINTENDED result of  Adobe's upgrade to 9.4.   Is there something that we can do at our end to eliminate these issues?  There are NO security protections or limitations imposed on these certificate documents.  And we CANNOT eliminate the form fields that are filled internally when the customer passes t the course.  Date and time of completion and all the rest are required by all of the States which license us.  Many thanks!

    That was it!
    Thanks

  • Cannot view or print data in fillable form fields

    I created a fillable form and users complete the form and email back to me.  For some, but not all, users, when I get their form, the data in the fields is not visible unless I click on field.  At first I thought they emailed me a blank form, but when I click on the field the data they entered is visible. Data doesn't print either.
    Can I fix the form once they send it to me or do I need to adjust the original fillable pdf? Thanks in advance.

    Most likely it's due to corruption caused by the Preview application on the Mac when it saves PDF forms. For more information and something you can do about a corrupted form, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  • Exporting one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field

    Hello there.
    I am currently creating a form in which I need to export one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field to avoid typing it again or hitting ctrl+c and then ctrl+v to the webpage, as there are several records that need to be copied and pasted.
    I read that there is no access to the clipboard within pdf therefore, would like to know if there is any way to do that without accessing the clipboard.
    I am a newbie and have been learning by searching the forums and Google, therefore, would appreciate any insight on whether or not this is possible using javascript or the "submit form" funcion.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi George, thanks for your response!
    The main issue I have is that this web page is in fact a government page in which I have to manually copy and paste information.
    I have no idea how to automate this process - I have access to the scripts on the page to see what I am able to do, but since I do not have much experience (only very basic javascripting), any other insight would be great!

  • How to Pass XML Data to a PDF Form and Load it into form fields

    I have xml Form data in a string. I would like open a programatically launch a pdf document and pass the xml data as one of the parameters and this xml data needs to load all the form fields.
    Any Idea as to how this can be done?

    I have the same requirement as Daminu, but from the research I have been doing it seems your reply is only partially true. 
    If your PDF is an XFA PDF form, with Reader Extensions enabled, and you want to keep the Reader Extensions functionality for a user to use after your programmatic manipulation, then neither of these tools will work (FDFToolkit or iText).
    Upon the user opening the file once it has been programmatically modified, the user will see the following:
    From what I have read, this requirement can only be fullfilled by use of LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server?  Please confirm?
