Can XML for to Update Fields in PDF be sent to PostScript Form?

Looking for a VERY hi-speed VERY hi-volume means of printing very large numbers of the Same report, but with different data for 1000s of different users. Thinking that as PDF and Postscript are both Adobe products:
a) there may be a high speed means of transforming a PDF form to a PostScript form
b) load the postscript form to a slaved printer
c) slam data packages straight to the Postscript form, as XML. Could it be possible the the same XML data structure that works for updated the PDF version of the form would work for the Postscript instantiation of same?

This should be moved to the Output Server forum but ...
Output Server accepts data files (xml ok) and produces print/pdf files as a result. You use Output Designer to design the form/report specifying an output target (printer/pdf). An application builds the data files (one per instance of the form to be produced) that get placed on the server. Central Pro then processes the data files, producing a hard copy or pdf for each one. It processes the files faster than the printer can print them.
I've not used xml files so I can't state how well they work but the "field nominated" format works just fine.

Newbie - How can I know when someone opens a PDF I sent in an email?

I'm trying to get a simple proof of receipt when someone opens a PDF attached to an email. Any suggestions about how to do this?

Thanks try67. Consider this: I'm not trying to silently trick the receiver, either. I intend to explain to them up front that when they open the attached PDF, it will provide a signal that is the proof they have been notified. It's also okay if this isn't easy; I have IT people that can do it.

F4 for an alv field.

Hi there, I see that this thing has been appear previously on the forum but I did not reached the solution using the 3ds anout it , I need to add an f4 or a matchcode to the field 'MWSKZ' (from the table T007A) in my table I tried to add the code I've found but the help does not appears.. hope there is someone who got the patience to help me..
Thanks

Hi,
below is a sample programme...
*& Report BCALV_GRID_F4_HELP                                          *
Purpose:
~~~~~~~~
This report illustrates the use of f4-Help in an alv grid control.
Background:
~~~~~~~~~~~
There a two possibilities to implement an f4-Help in the alv grid
control: one can either use standard f4-help or write one by Hand.
For the former there is nothing to do at all. This report shows how
to implement user-defined f4-help.
The user should look at the definition of classes grid_application
and lcl_event_receiver:
all the grid-specific things happen there, while the rest
of the program is concerned with dynpro programming
To check program behavior
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For each choice it is explained in detail which functionality the
f4-help dispalys. Just try out different modes at the start-dynpro.
We also included a message signaling when datatable update actually
occurs.
Essential steps (search for '§')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First you must define and set an event handler for event onf4
of class cl_gui_alv_grid, just as with any event in the object
model. In our case, its method on_f4 of (the local) class
lcl_event_receiver (definition see below).
We set the handler in PBO-module create_object of dynpro 100.
For the easiest case where you don't want to make changes do step
1. Register all columns for which you want to define an f4-help.
1a.You can deregister columns during run-time to use standard f4-help.
1b.Or register additional columns during run-time.
2. Implement your event handler method.
3. Set attribute m_event_handled of er_event_data to avoid standard
   f4-help.
If you want to allow the user to change data via f4-help you have to
4. set in the fieldcatalog the corresponding column editable (see
   Documentation). It does not suffice to set the complete grid
   editable.
5. Declare data and field-symbols for values to be changed.
6. Assign the values for the corresponding cells you want to edit:
   you can edit any cells. Do not refresh your table!
7. If your f4-help relates to other values of your table, you must
   set parameters getbefore and/or chngeafter during registration.
8. In case the column you want to define an f4-help has no standard
   f4-help defined, you must set parameter F4AVAILABL in the field
   catalog.
9. If you want to check the data yourself, you can register for the
   events data_changed and/or data_changed_finished. For the former
   you can check where the event was raised and act accordingly.
*10. Often one uses drop down boxes instead of f4-help. To do so, you
   first have to extend your datatable by one field and set the
   fieldcatalog parameter drdn_field accordingly.
*11. Then you have to prepare a drop down table, give it to your grid
   and fill in the additional field of your datatable appropritately.
*!! If you define a drop down box for a column, you can not define an
   f4-help for the same column.

Condition Update field

Hi,
I know we can set the condition update field in the condition type so that, it can store accumulated values, for example, discount only upto maximum of 3000pcs.
But this is one is based on Sales Order value and not Billing value. how can I set so that it considers only the invoice quantity and not the order quantity?
If I reject the Sales Order (using reason for rejection).. the accumulated value is not deducted or reset back to zero.. it still considers the quantity of the rejected item. What should we do so that it will not

I am not sure that will function, but check the customizing options behind the reason for rejection.
Another option would be to force a new price determination in the billing document (look at the copy control between the delivery note and the billing document at the item level).
Best Regards,
Franck

I change store what I can do for use my old app ?

HI I change the store from Italy at USA what I can do for dounload update ??
thank you Luigi

You can only update an app from the same store country in which it was purchased. If you purchased it in Italy, then you must update it in the Italian iTunes Store by changing your country back to Italy:
Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
1. Tap Settings;
2. Tap iTunes & App Stores;
3. Tap View Apple ID;
4. Enter your user name and password;
5. Tap Country/Region;
6. Tap Change Country/Region;
7. Select the region where you will be located;
8. Tap Done.

Can not update Term value for metadata columm field to empty

Hi ,
I have created a TermSet for Sitecollection and created Managed metadata column called Delivery linked with the Term (onsite , online, etc..) in the Term set . If i try to update the Term Value for Metadata Colum field to
blank ( e.g remove onsite so it has blank value) then click Save , it does not save the blank value it reverts back to the original value set for that metadata field. The metadata column is set "not to require to contain information"
& do not force unique value
Any idea
Thanks
mp

Hi,
I understand that you want to change a metadata column to be blank. I cannot reproduce your issue. I can set the managed metadata column to blank as expected. Can you reproduce this issue with another managed metadata column? Or does this happen to the only
managed metadata column?
Here are my steps to achieve this:
Open the root site of the site collection in browser.
Click Site Actions> Site Settings. Click Term Store Management under Site Administration.
Created the term store. Then create a managed metadata column to use this term store(have tested this column with both list and library).
Set "not to require to contain information" & do not force unique value &Allow fill in value& Don’t specify a default value.
Thanks,

How can we find the original XML Name of a Field

Hi All,
Just like the Reports To Field has XML Name as *[<ManagerFullName>]*
Can anyone tell me how I can find the Original XML Name for the "Reports To (Alias)" User field?.
Thanks in advance,
Royston

My scenario is that,
When a user saves a new campaign I want to change the owner of this campaign to the user he reports to i.e(Manager Alias) Since the Owner field takes the Alias Name.
To achieve this I have created a workflow to assign that Campaign to the Manager.
Here is the Code snippet
The triggering event is : Before modified record is saved.
action is Update Field Owner with UserValue('<ManagerAlias>')
Unfortunately its not accepting the ManagerAlias field....I have tried a similar scenario with the <ManagerFullName> field and its working fine.
Thanks,
-Royston

Creating process for multiple Date fields for update or insert in APEX

hello there,
could someone please help me?
i have a form on Apex based on view that is based on three tables and updating and inserting ok using trigger instead of.
i have a problem now as in my form i have around 75 fileds (items) incuding 30 or more date fields which could be populated or left blank or update later.
so for each date field i have two boxs; one for date, input as dd/mm/yyyy (text field) and second for time, input as 23:45. All dates will be insert or update manually by user. so as i mentioned not all date fields could be poulated at one stage.
so i have created some process and validations and all of them work fine but i came accross if date left blank then (:) giving me problem so i have done following further process for each date field. In real table all the date fields have data type date.
declare
v_my_var date; -- for first date field
str_dy VARCHAR2(10);
dt_indx date;
str_tm VARCHAR2(20);
tm_indx date;
begin
str_dy := :p4_first_date
str_tm := str_dy||' '||substr(:p8_first_date_hh,1,2)||':'||substr(:p8_first_date_HH,4,2);
dt_indx := to_date(str_tm,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI');
IF str_dy is not null then
v_my_var :=dt_indx;
ELSE
v_my_var := NULL;
END IF;
update table 1 set my_date = v_my_var where d_id= :p4_d_id;
end;
above code work fine but one date field of course therefore i have to do same code for each date field with changes and initialise variable again and again for each field.
so i like to ask is there any easy way that is more professional. i was thinking about the procedure and using collection or similar but honestly not much experience on that so could some one please help me?
I will be very thankful.
KRgds

Hi,
You can do the needful by re-using the code if you can give the item names as P8_DATE1, P8_DATE_hh1, P8_DATE2, P8_DATEhh2 etc..So your item name just differs by a sequence.
Now you write function which will return desired date value taking above items as input. Pass item names to this function, get session state using APEX_UTIL.GET_SESSION_STATE('item_name') API.
Now modify you code as
FOR i IN 1..30
LOOP
v_date_array[i] = f_get_date('P8_DATE'||i, 'P8_DATEhh'||i);
END LOOP;
....Now you have all date valus in array. Just write one update as follows
UPDATE TABLE1
SET date1 = my_date_array[1], date2 = my_date_array[2]..
WHERE ....Hope it helps :)

Hari

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nifty Styles
(Norfolk, England)
P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

How to add extra fields in xml for BI report

Hi ,
I am trying to create a po print report .
I took oracle standard po print program , Cloned it with output as xml and based on that i am creating the layout for my po print report using xml publisher word doc tool . Now In the oracle po print rdf there is no field like requestor email,phone numbers. I want these two fields on my po print .How can i get those fields .If i see requestor portion in xml its as below
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
          </G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
but I want some thing like
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>select 123456</ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>111111111</ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>[email protected]</ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>
</G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
How can I achieve this ...should I make a change in standard RDF for this or is there a way we can pull these details in xml itself ??
Please help .
Regards,
Chandra

I was just think on the same line if we can manage to fetch additional fields like phone number, email address of the requestor by writing a pl/sql in xml itself .But i see that atleast the requestor name should be passed into that query in case there is a way to do it .
Hopefully the change to rdf is the option .
Thanks Srini for prompt response.

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form

Hi All
Excellent forum, and thanks for all the revealing insights so far viewed, however one question.I'm using a PDF form to collect info via email in the format of XML datafiles. I also have an identical PDF which has database connectivity and that works fine. It was suggested on this forum that I could then import the XML data into my Database via the DB-connected PDF, in effect a user form and one with DB connectivity. Now, I've checked the data types and they all match, but when I import XML file, it creates a blank record in the database and none of the information is carried through. Please could someone offer guidance on what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to figure this out for a week now?
Thanks
Steppe

Thanks Carlo for your reply.
I have read again the link and you are correct that in using the preferred command together with localhost under POTS dial-peer, I can now select which correct path to choose for my outbound calls. I'm just not very strong with dial-peer and translation rules at the moment.
I will try this solution during the weekend and let you know. But it would have been better if there was a sample configuration for this option.
