Can I write XML PDF without Adobe LiveCycle ?

Hallo:-)
My firm have product to create blank /form/, which we save into our XML format. We want to "save as" forms into XML PDF format.
But only use XML not PDF into XDP format.
I read XML Forms Architecture (XFA)Specification Version 2.4 ...
Is there other resources and samples?
And Is it possible task?

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Are you asking whether Adobe Reader can open an XDP file and display it as a PDF even if there's no PDF packet in it? The short answer is no. You can convert an XDP to a PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. If you want to convert to PDF at run time you need a server product - Adobe LiveCycle Forms.

How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable. How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

Hi Alan,
TextField objects can expand dynamically. There are a few things that you need to do:
1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed. This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form. If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

Printing PDF via Adobe livecycle from R/3 ECC to local printer

Hi,
I am working on an Adobe Form via SFP transaction on ECC 5.0 and an Adobe Livecycle 7.1. I can create PDFs, and send them to spool through a LPDF printer defined in SPAD as a PDF1 type. This is ok to get PDF in spool but I want to send these PDF to my local windows printer through SAPLPD.
I get an error message in SAPLPD :
Job 0009Jjkn.TD1 (raw) started on printer SKDFMLDSF
(11:06:48) Error: The printer SKDFMLDSF is unknown to Windows Print Manager.
(11:06:48) The following printers are currently defined:
(11:07:18) Printer = MICROSOFT OFFICE DOCUMENT IMAGE WRITER
(11:07:18) Warning: Printer name contains spaces.
(11:07:18) Please rename printer, before using it from R/3 or UNIX!

(11:07:18) Error: BG: printfile failed, msg = 808 SAPLPD:Windows Problem, siehe SAPLPD Protokoll
Does anyone know how I can send a spool containing the generated PDFs to my local printer ???
Thanks,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
To avoid problems with SAPLPD you can print the PDF using the control technology.
Please read the SAP note
821519 Front-end printing with control technology for details.

Compress/Optimize Pdf using Adobe LiveCycle Pdf Generator in my c# console application

Hello,

I have the pdf which have size above 500 MB i need to compress that kind of pdf files. I have seen the option to save as optimize pdf in Adobe professional software but i want to do that programmatically in my c# application.
Now I have asked this question in Acrobat SDK Forums as well and there they have told me to check Adobe LiveCycle Software Here is the link for that : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5468065.
Now If i want to go with Adobe Livecycle my question is.
Can I call or use adobeLivecycle pdf optimizer libraries in my c# application.
Let me know what i can do to integrate in my c# application

The API call is here.

optimizePDF
public OptimizePDFResult optimizePDF(Document inputDocument, String fileTypeSettings, Document inSettingsDoc) throws ConversionException, InvalidParameterException, FileFormatNotSupportedException
Optimizes the input PDF document by reducing its size. This method also converts the PDF document to the PDF version specified in the optimization parameters. This method supports the same optimization settings as Adobe Acrobat.
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized. For this object, it is recommended that you either use the appropriate Document constructor if you have access to the file, or that you use the com.adobe.idp.Document.setAttribute() method if you only have access to the stream.
fileTypeSettings - Name of a file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server. The LiveCycle Administration Console window for Generate PDF lets you view the currently defined file type settings. It also lets you create custom file type settings. If the inSettingsDoc parameter specifies a non-NULL value, this parameter is ignored. If this parameter and the inSettingsDoc parameter are both null, this method uses the default file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
inSettingsDoc - file2pdf-settings XML file that contains file type settings to use for optimization, including the file type settings used by this method. For information about this file, see the description for the createPDF2() method.
Returns:
An object that exposes a method for getting the optimized PDF document.
Throws:
ConversionException
InvalidParameterException
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized. For this object, it is recommended that you either use the appropriate Document constructor if you have access to the file, or that you use the com.adobe.idp.Document.setAttribute() method if you only have access to the stream.

Forms pulling Multiple Records from an XML Schema and XML data files - Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I built a form in Adobe LiveCycle with an xml schema and data file. The problem is with how the form renders the xml data file.
I have a statement element that consists of about 6 fields (statementID, statementName, statementAddress, statementCountry, statementZip, statementDate, etc) of data in the schema that allows for multiple iterations - so one xml data file can contain multiple statements. These fields allow for null values.
But here's the problem: When any of the statements - say statement 2 of 6 - has a null value in one of the fields, if the xml data file doesn't have a placeholder
(example of placeholder: <statementName type="String"/> )in the xml for that field, my form pulls the field value from the NEXT statement.
This corrupts all the rest of the statement records, as this field is shifted up for all the rest.
I know that in the past I haven't needed a placeholder when a field was null. But I'm wondering if when the data allows for multiple records the xml data file needs to generate the placeholder. And where is the problem? In the Schema? The xml data file? My form? And the 64-thousand-dollar question: How to fix it?

If your <statement> element is the one that repeats, it should be bound to a subform with the binding string of something like $.statement[*]. Then in that subform should be your fields and they should have bindings of $.statementID, $.statementName, $.statementAddress, etc.

Acrobat X: Can't print to PDF without admin right

Hi,
running Acrobat X pro on Win 7 64 Bit, I can't print to PDF from any application (e.g.ms office, chrome, open office, arcobat itsellf....) without admin rights. I just get the error message, that the printing failed.
However, starting the application with admin rights, and trying to print to pdf will work.
I already tried to repair the installation without success.
Here you can find some screenshots of my problem:
First, the printer properties, opened from excel:
the error message:

There is no free PDF printer driver from Adobe. That functionality is included in Acrobat and it used to be part of e.g. Pagemager in the past as well by ways of including Distiller. If you want it for free, you have to look elsewhere, otherwise buy Acrobat. On OSX it is also part of the operating system already, BTW.

Embed webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
We have NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
I would give best points to you !!
Thanks in advance

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

Adding comments to PDF in Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2

Is it possible to let Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2 users to add comments to a PDF document without having to download the document?
How?
I have been trying many different ways for the past several weeks, but couldn’t find a way.
I tried to bring the attachment into a document variable and then using it as the input document for an assign task operation, after reader extending (including online commenting) it in the process. Tried different kinds of PDFs, including documents created from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe LiveCycle designer, static forms, with or without input fields, etc. Nothing seems to work so far.
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks.
Ali.

Hi $Nith$,
I tried the same procedure what you had explained here. But, I am unable to get the comments that entered while reviewing.
Here I am attaching my workflow.
Here I am entering comments in workspace for this document in reviewer stage. I want to send this comments along with document for next stage (Approval stage).
Thanking you in advance.

Issue submitting PDF to adobe livecycle REST url

I am trying to submit (as a PDF) a document to a REST url (a long lived adobe livecycle process). When I open the PDF via internet explorer and submit, it does not seem to do anything. Does anyone know why and how I can get around it?

Here are the details for the above question. We render/generate a pdf using LiveCycle process, the rendered pdf will be on server side and can be accessible for certain period of time, this is the configuration setting on adminUI.
In my project we are not distributing a form up front and submit later at any time. We are generating/rendering the pdf on demand using the data from the application while submitting the rendered pdf we are invoking REST URL for one of the flows. In this case the pdf already on the server side, so it will not requires any authentication to invoke any of the process.
I got error trace of below while submit thru IE using the local machine pdf. So please check your server log for more details specific to your issue.

I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

Hi a.vouga,
Are you still facing this issue.
If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.
