Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form and then create a PFD?

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form, then store the data in the Data Base and finally create a PFD?
If this is possible with BI Publisher, what do i have to do to link the form with the BIPublisher interface?
Regards

Hi
If you just have a PDF form and do not need to pre populate data then all you need do is:
1. Add a submit button to the PDF - you can use the full Adobe product or a BIP API
2. Load the PDF as a template with a dummy data source.
The user can then run the "report" as usual. When they have completed the form they can hit the Sumit button on the form. Adobe will then scrape the data out of the form in an XML format and post it to the URL you added. At the other end of the URL you need a servlet to accept and process the XML data.
If you need to prepopulate the form you can attach a datasource to the PDF template but ensure the fields are preserved after running the form for the user through the config options.
BIP does have APIs to populate drop lists, etc but these are not exposed thru through the BIP UI.
I'll try and write this up for the blog and OTN soon

  • Can it not possible that i can retrive it for all line items in a single qu

    I have to make report for my application in which I am facing a following problem:
    In the application there are multiple suppliers and each supplier having multiple line items and each item having multipale events. each evant having three status GREEN,RED and BLUE.
    When a user select 'all suppliers' to show the the status time span for a supplier (i.e. for a supplier how many parts and upto how much time parts are in blue, red and green status)
    to show the cumulative status time span I have to find out a event for each line item which is having nearest lower entry time from the lower part of the given time span.for this i have write following query
    SELECT * FROM parts_events
    WHERE vendorid = ? AND partid = ?
    AND visible = 'visible' AND active = 1
    AND entrytime = (SELECT MAX(entrytime) as
    entrytime from parts_events
    WHERE vendorid = ?
    AND partid = ?
    AND entrytime < ?
    AND visible = 'visible'
    AND active = 1)
    the problem is that i have to fire this query for each line item, can it not possible that i can retrive it for all line items in a single query?

    maybe if you can post some sample data and output will help us analyze more youre requirement.

  • How can I read the last cell of a JTable that a user Enters data

    I have a one column JTable with several rows that a user enters data to. Upon entering the last data, the user clicks a button to read all the data from the rows in the JTable and puts them in an arraylist. If the user does not click enter or navigates away from the last cell, then after clicking the button it does not read the last cell entered. Since the user is clicking on a button to indicate he is done entering data on the table, does he also have to hit the enter key to indicate he is done entering the data?
    The code below is my tablemodelListener:
    public class InteractiveTableModelListener implements TableModelListener {
    public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent evt) {
    if (evt.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE) {
    int row = evt.getFirstRow();
    System.out.println("Update row:"+" "+row);
    jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(row, row);
    }

    Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
    In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing fourm. (This question has been asked and answered dozens of times).
    But there is not need to repost because [Table Stop Editing|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=table-stop-editing] explains whats happening and give a couple of solutions.

  • How can user attach file to interactive form, and be read by abap program?

    Hello,
    I created an abap interactive form, sent to the user, then user fills out the form fields, then it is uploaded back to sap, then my program reads this data and process it.
    It works.
    Now I want users to be able to attach any file they want, and the abap program to extract this file out of the PDF, to put it into SAP (or anywhere).
    I succeeded in attaching a file, I can "see" it via function module get_annotations, but I get the file in compressed form by Adobe (filter="FlateDecode").
    Do you know how to unzip the file, or is there another way to attach files in adobe reader/extract them via abap?
    I use acrobat reader 8.1.2
    Thx a lot!
    sandra
    Below is the xml obtained by GET_ANNOTATIONS. We see that there are other text annotations, and that the attached file has {length="98005"}, though real file (before "attach file" to the PDF, and also after "detach file") has length 111 995 bytes. It's why I deduced that there is a compression (I also tried to extract it as-is and open it with adobe but it doesn't work.

    Hello everybody,
    I am sure you have an answer to my question above. It was :
    how is it possible for a user to ATTACH files to a PDF interactive form, and then be able to READ them via a program ? (I guess the solution to read them via ABAP or JAVA is quite the same?)
    Thx a lot !

  • How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't

    How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

    Fron the Pages Help menu:
    Using Sound and Movies
    You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
    Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
    MOV
    MP3
    MPEG-4
    AIFF
    AAC
    Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you are using has permission to play all the media files included in your document.
    When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window. (If you don’t see the option, click the button next to the Save field to display the entire Save window, and then click the Advanced Options disclosure triangle.)

    How to guarantee that all the inserted data entries are shipped to the correct Coherence caches?
    I successfully created the table Employees, Address and Phone tables and their conresponding Java Classes. I also finished all the JPA and persistence works. Any updated data can persist to the corresponding database tables. Now I want to create the corresponding Coherence caches for these java objects. I want to know how to guarantee that all the inserted data entries are shipped to the correct Coherence caches? For example, guarantee all the employee data entries are added to the Employees caches and all the address data entries are shipped to the Address caches (do not ship the address data entries to the Phone or Employees caches)?
    Thank you

    Thank youWhat persistence architecture are you using?
    - Cache stores with JPA/Toplink cache stores?
    - JPA implementation with Coherence used as a cache provider for the JPA engine?
    - TopLink grid?
    - anything else?
    Until you provide this bit of info, don't expect a meaningful answer...

    Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
    In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy.  Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
    For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
    Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

    Hey there holla0,
    It sounds like the person calling you has to call 2 times to get through. The first time they get a busy signal and the second time it goes through. I want to recommend the following troubleshooting assistant for cellular connections to help troubleshoot the issue:
    Calls and connection issues
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
    Start at step 2, and work your way down as needed. Here is step 2 to get you started:
    Reset network settings
    To reset your network settings, tap Settings > General > Reset, then scroll down and tap Reset Network Settings.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

    Yep, but again, not as easily done as it once was. Since it's illegal in most of the world & most carriers have provisions in place to stop such, you really need to know what you're doing to do such.

Maybe you are looking for
