Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON?

Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON? A few web sites seem to suggest it can:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_c-d_43.html
http://blogs.adobe.com/acdc/2008/08/using_json_to_exchange_data_wi.html

Its probably better to post this in the Form or Designer forum as those ones deal more with the capabilities of XFA based PDFs. The Generator forum deals with the server software that converts documents to PDF.
Having said that.
You should be able to do it, but not directly. I don't believe that there is a way to map the JSON returned values to a field, as XFA pdf's generally support XML. You may be able to put the returned JSON value into a single field and then write some code that would parse that value into the proper fields.

Can Adobe Interactive PDFs play sound from imported .swf files

Hello.
I'm really really stuck, can anyone help? I'm on 10.8.3 using In Design CS6
I am trying to get an interactive PDF with imported .sfw files with sound to play ....the sound. Preview is fine in the working file - but as per the previous query on thishttp://forums.adobe.com/message/4772574 - The interactive PDF loses the sound. I tried installing ezPDF - but it's an app and I don't know how to install it to work (I think it's meant for iPADs). So...does anyone know if I can have an imported .swf file play when exported to an Interactive PDF and also work on an end users PC?...should I be able to install ezPDF reader on my MAC and get everything working?
Any help would be good as this is day 3 having called Adobe on Day 1 which was fruitless.
Thanks

Really hard to say without seeing the whole project, but my guess is that you have moved your exported SWF somewhere from it´s original location (where you exported it to) without moving Resources folder to same target location too... when you place video, audio or SWF to your layout, indesign does not embedd it to resulting SWF. Those files will be stored into a resources folder which always has to be at same root with exported SWF. Media files will be loaded dynamically from that folder at runtime.
So you can guess what happens if that folder does not exist....

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

Adobe Interactive PDF - Submit by mail directly without intermediate outlook window

Hello,
We are in a SAP 46c ECC6 upgrade, and we use Adobe interactive PDF for some ESS specific functionalities.
We use also outlook.
We have an interactive PDF with submit button (execute sendmail).
When we click on it, an outlook window appears, and fields are correctly filled with our information (to; object; attachement), but we still have to CLICK on the outlook send button.
Because the goal of this interactive PDF is partly to simplify the users actions, we want to avoid this last click step, and directly send the mail.
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks.

Did you use this script in your button?

Invoking a web service that returns binary

Hi,
Is it possible to invoke a web service that returns a binary object?
Its similar the following example but I need to return a binary object :
declare
v_url:='http://www.somesite.com/function_name?invoke=placeOrder&par1=val1'
v_output varchar2(4000);
begin
select utl_http.request(v_url)
into v_output from dual;
end;
Thanks in advance

No "advantage" as there are two very different tools.
UTL_HTTP is basically an Oracle PL/SQL web browser. It uses the HTTP application protocol. It is just like your ordinary browser (IE, Firefox, Opera), but as it is server-side and display-less, it comes without a rendering engine.
UTL_DBWS is to interact with web services using the SOAP application protocol.

Problem with web service that returns an object with a String that have som

Hi everybody:
I have a problem with a web service I am doing, I have made a web service that returns a collection of objects, the objects have a set of properties, there is one property that is a String,this property consists in a text fragment that could have some characters that are considered special in XML like &, <, >, " and that's why when I execute the service from a client an exception is thrown:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.xfire.XFireRuntimeException: Could not invoke service.. Nested exception is org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: Could not read XML stream.. Nested exception is com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Expected a text token, got START_ELEMENT.

I know that this is happening because special characters are sent by the soap message but I don't know how to solve this problem.
How could I avoid this exception ?
I hope you can help me.

Hi,
BPEL and BPEL PM do not have a good support for SOAPENC-Array: it would be very difficult to create such an array in BPEL or to receive it and manipulate it.
The (unfortunately very intrusive) work around is to change the WSDL of the service to use a XML type defined using XML schema. This is all the more painful that JDev 9.0.4 does not have strong support for complex types.
In general though, I would highly recommend this best practice:
1) Start by define the WSDL contract first
2) Then generate the server side skeleton to implement it
3) Use BPEL as the client to this contract.
By starting with the contract first, you make sure that 1) your interfaces are clean and coarse grained.
2) things like java objects, sessions, etc to not leak through the interface (which would be the worst thing that could happen because it would closely link the client and the server.
Sorry for not being more helpful. This will get radically cleaner in Oracle AS 10.1.3.

BPEL build error when invoke an extrenal Web Service that returns an Array

Hello,
I built with JDeveloper a web service that returns an Array of Java Bean classes and I try to invoke this web service from a BPEL process. The wsdl file is automatically generated by the JDev. When I built the BPEl project I obtained the following error:
[bpelc] [Error] :-1:-1: src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'SOAP-ENC:Array'. It was detected that 'SOAP-ENC:Array' is in namespace 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'http://malangiu-ro:8988/cde-Project-context-root/CdeFactoryWS?WSDL'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 'SOAP-ENC:Array' needs to be changed.

Testing a service that returns an AsyncToken

I have a working test that tests a service that returns an AsyncToken. I am using AsyncResponder instead of any of the Aysnc Flexunit stuff. Is this OK?
One thing I don't get is that the passthroughData get passed to the onResult method, even though AsyncResponder doesn't pass on anything other than the event.
    [Test(async)]
        public function testAttemptLogin():void
      var token: AsyncToken = objectToTest.attemptLogin('k');
     token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(onResult, faultHandler));
        private function onResult(event:ResultEvent,passthroughData:Object):void {
//assertions

No. This will not work.
FlexUnit has a Async.asyncResponder
method that will do what you want

I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website. It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything. I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so. This problem started after they did the Adobe update. I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then. I need to be able to do this for work.... Any suggestions? or when will this issue be fixed? Thank you!!!

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

How to buy only "Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES" Service

Hi All,
I am very new to development using ADOBE products.
I have a small requirement, to generate PDF from DOC/DOCX on microsoft and non-microsoft platform using Java language (No MS Office is installed on that machine). So I came to know about Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES.
Now, is there any other solutions available for specific need or above is the one from Adobe?
Can we purchase only this component? How to get the information about pricing of this component - Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES?
Please guide,
Thanks in Advance,
(I am sorry if this is wrong place for this question and if so, please redirect me to the proper forum)

In order to convert DOC/DOCX to PDF, you need to install MS Office and also Acrobat on your LiveCycle Server. But there is no need to install any software on the client. You can only buy and install PDF Generator ES solution component. Once you installed PDF Generator you can invoke it through Java API or Web Services.

WebDynpro - Adobe interactive pdf attachments

I am creating an ABAP web dypro with a Adobe interactive form that also includes a workflow. I am having an issue passing the attachments with the PDF source to the next workflow task. When I save the PDF source from the first web dynpro view and then re-load the pdf source conext with this data for the next view, the attachments are not with the PDF when it is opened. Are the attachments stored with the PDF source in the context attribute? I have created a function that should list the attachments that I call before starting the workflow just to check but the attachments are not being returned, I am passing the pdf source context for the interactive form to the function module.
Thanks

Can Adobe Interactive Forms do calculation

HI GURUs,
I am new to Adobe Forms.
Two quick questions:
1. Is it doable to create drop-down list for selection in Adobe Forms? For example, listing different sizes for shoes selection.
2. Is the Form able to do calculation as Excel does? beccause we need to verify total money spent is less than maximum entitlement.
Thanks.

Not able to consume Web Services that are in Service Registry

Hi Experts,
I am trying to consume the web services that are published into the Service Registry of CE 7.1 Server.
Previously, I was able to consume the web services.But now I found the following error in VC Console, When i try to consume the same web services or even other web services that are there in that server.
"(E) Error in Search: Unknown error has occured in service execution"
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Regards,
Palani

Hi Palani,
I guess the first 2 things you may want to test are:
1. Is the Webservice reachable? please try and run the webservice URL in your browser and see if you get the xml file.
2. Proxy settings - please see that the proxy settings on the server are defined properly.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Omer.

Can I use third party web services that communicate via http-post with webui builder?

Hi,
I have 5 computers (services) that are controlled via http-post. 3 of these services are implemented as labview webservices, 1 is labview socket (with python http-wrapper) and the last one is implemented with c# (lighttpd + cgi).
Can I use webui builder to controll all of them? Or, what is the simplest change so I can use webui builder?
What I would like to do, is to change the current javascript-UI to labview-webui. For the interfaces implemented with labview webservices, this is not a problem. For non-labview services, I don't know if it is even possible.
br,
Juha

To add to Mike's answer, the only caveat is that the server needs an appropriate clientaccesspolicy.xml file at the root level (http://yourserver/clientaccesspolicy.xml), or a completely open crossdomain.xml file, for the editor and built apps to be able to communicate with it. There's a help topic which explains this in the context of LV web services, but it's true for Web UI Builder to be able to communicate with arbitrary web servers also.
Since it sounds like you control all the web servers in question, it shouldn't be too difficult to get this file in place, though.

SQL Server 2008 Reporting Project - Invoke/Consume Web Service and Return Dataset in C# Code-Behind

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 C# class with a method that invokes/consumes a web service and returns an XML dataset. I am traversing through the parent/child nodes and parsing out the data then inserting it into a SQL Server 2008 R2 table for a join within
another stored procedure.
Instead of using a 3rd party API to generate the PDF for this data, I am creating an SSRS report. The formatting will be easier and I can do a RenderFormat directly to PDF.
Can I expect to be able to transfer the code-behind method to this report and have it be able to work with the web service the same way? It is a SOAP-based web service returning parent nodes and two levels of nested child nodes.
I have also been researching the approach of calling the web service in the same stored procedure that is currently querying the physical tables (which is used to populate a gridview and PDF) but it looks like it may only be possible with a CLR stored procedure.
Is it possible to implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report?
Hope this makes sense. Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Buster

Hi Buster,
SSRS supports web service data source, we can call the SOAP-based web service in SSRS report directly. Then, we can use custom code in SSRS to parse the XML data. However, we won’t be able to join another data in SQL Server database.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx#repservxmlds_topic3
We cannot implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report directly. In order to execute the CLR store procedure in a SSRS report, we have to execute it as text using the following code:
Exec <stored procedure name>
Reference:
http://dotnetslackers.com/Community/blogs/bmains/archive/2009/01/15/executing-a-clr-stored-procedure-in-reporting-services.aspx
Hope this helps.
