CDATA and envelope format sensitivity

Hello,
I am using standard LiveCycle component/service "WebService" in LiveCycle process to call a Web service.
In SOAP response is CDATA section with xml document that I need to work with.
In Web-service component properties is section "CDATA list" which should parse all CDATA sections of soap-response to a list variable.
It works well if the service returns (A)-type response format (see below), but doesn't parse anything for (B)-type.
So - can WebService component parse CDATA section from generic soap/xml format or does it require (A)-like format ?
Thanks
A) works well
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Also I have a question that if this is the issue because the Oracle Wallet Manager is not configured. If yes, how can we configure OWM on XE as I dont see OWM installed with XE.

Datagrid and percentage formatting

I am having some difficulty rendering percentages in the
DataGrid. I have the following JSON file structure:
{"n":"Zimbabwe",
"o":"63%",
"m":"38%",
"g":"1,900"
When I import these values into the DataGrid, there is a
problem when I try to sort the percentage columns. The percentages
are not sorted in the correct order, resulting in something like
this:
0%
100%
14%
17%
etc..
Instead of:
0%
14%
17%
100%
So, I tried changing the JSON file to:
{"n":"Zimbabwe",
"o":"63",
"m":"38",
"g":"1900"
However, now I am having problems getting Flex to display a
percentage symbol next to the numbers in the DataGrid. Any idea
what I need to do to get this working? What is the right approach
to take when working with number formatting in the DataGrid? Should
I be formatting the numbers inside the data source before feeding
into Flex, or should I be storing the raw numbers in the JSON file
and then formatting them with Flex?
Great if someone can point me in the right direction, because
I really can't find any information about it anywhere on the
Internet.
Many thanks!

My advice is not to pass strings where you actually want to
pass a integer/float.
So best is to pass this :
{"n":"Zimbabwe",
"o":"63",
"m":"38",
"g":"1900"
Then use a item renderer to render the values as percentage
values.

Regular expression and output format

hi all,
i have following scenario-
regular expression: [0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}
generated value by the above regular expression: 123-234-6789
output format to display the generated above value: xxx-xxx-$1
now i need to display the generated value (123-234-6789) in the specified output format (xxx-xxx-$1) and the final output will be xxx-xxx-6789
how is it possible?
Note: here regular expression and output format can vary

Hi, Bashar
You can solve this problem by using the Data Masking Technique.
Masking data means replacing certain fields with a Mask character (such as an X). This effectively disguises the data content while preserving the same formatting on front end screens and reports. For example, a column of credit card numbers might look like:
4346 6454 0020 5379
4493 9238 7315 5787
4297 8296 7496 8724
and after the masking operation the information would appear as:
4346 XXXX XXXX 5379
4493 XXXX XXXX 5787
4297 XXXX XXXX 8724
The masking characters effectively remove much of the sensitive content from the record while still preserving the look and feel. Take care to ensure that enough of the data is masked to preserve security.
It would not be hard to regenerate the original credit card number from a masking operation such as: 4297 8296 7496 87XX since the numbers are generated with a specific and well known checksum algorithm.

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

With Reports 10G can you customize you message and stop formatting?

Oracle, states to come here for answer. they said, OTN should be able to help.
If any one knows how this can be done can you please help me out?
thanks,
We were told this was fixed with 10G so we upgraded to 10G. We have a
report and we want it to execute if it's less than 10 records if not we want a
message to come up that the report needs to be scheduled.
Well we run the report and it displays exceeded record count but the format
still runs so no time saved on the web.
If the record count was exceeded we want to HALT the system and not go any
farther.
Now if we could modify the system message 1825 we would be o.k. But we don't
know if that is going to work. If we could change the message we would be
o.k. with that. that would mean changing the system codes though.
### How is the Report being called (Command line, URL or via Oracle Forms): ###
If false comes back in the beginning then we don't want any report formatting
to be done. Right now the format is done it seems but no data is displayed
because criteria isn't met.
So we dont wnat the formatting to be run when criteria isn't met. But for
some
reason it still runs and takes time.
See we have some reports on the web that can only be ran by date range right
now the clients can only run the reports for a 6 months range.. Well some
clients have a lot smaller record count. So we want to change the way the
reports are ran to a records count. If the count is large than said amount
then a message comes up that states the report has to be scheduled. If the
amount is under said amount then the report runs.
So at this time in the report we do a count then we move onto will the report
run or not if over the amount we want to abort the process but we don't want
the client to see the abort. We definately don't want the client to sit and
wait for the format to run when NO Data is to be returned.
### Error messages and error scenario: ###
So what we want is too see a message "Schedule the report count exceeded" and
NO formatting done. If under amount we want the report to run.
### Provide a detailed step-by-step description of your problem or question: ###
Or is there a way to customize the messages the client / users will see. And
no formatting time for no records returned.

Hi Darlene!!
As talked to you on phone, here are the steps for you to try.
The below has been run as a test case using emp table in scott schema of a database
1) create a summary coloumn say cs_1 in the data model.
2) point the function to count.
3) Point the source to what ever's count you want it to be pointed to(say empno of emp table of
scott schema)
4) create a user parameter say NO_ROWS
5) in its property palette make its data type number and initial value as 1
6) I had teh following query for my report:
select empno, ename from emp
where rownum <= :no_rows
This means that the report that will be generated will consist of a total no of NO_ROWS(that we
shall be specifying at run time). The before report trigger(mentioned in 7 below) shall assure
that whenever we specify NO_ROWS greater than 5 then the report will display a customized pop up
message.
7) create a before report trigger as:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
user_excp EXCEPTION;
begin
if :cs_1 >5 then
raise user_excp;
return (false);
else
return true;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN user_excp then
SRW.MESSAGE(30, 'Data is more please schedule this report:');
raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
return (false);
end;
This way when u run a report, an argument is asked whether how many rows do you want to be
displayed as in the parameter NO_ROWS. then you specify the number. If that number is greater
than 5(in this case, due to if :cs_1 > 5 then....) then it will pop up a message saying "Data is
more please schedule this report:"
In case you do not want to specify NO_ROWS..then you need not put that and modify the report
query as "select empno, empname from emp;" i.e. without where clause.

New info : Information from the person that did this suggestion step by step.
I tried this step by step, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way we want.
First with this suggestion, the user needs to choose how many records they
want
to get, or we default a number of records, in order to run the report. The most
important thing is, whenever you specify the statement return false or raise
SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT in the before report trigger, the system message will pop up.
I really hope that people from Oracle would let us know how to customize the
system message or hide it.
23-SEP-04 14:23:04 GMT
New info : I just thought that we have some sort of message, which I guess is
from the database, when we do claim search on client inquiry. I am just
wondering if we could try the same thing to the report.
The some sort of message looks like this on dev box:
Your search exceeded 5000 records and will surpass the capabilities of this
connection. Please narrow the search criteria and resubmit.
It's just a thought, not sure if it's going to work.
When could we have the DBA Make this change. The servlet.properties???

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

Hi Lilmac, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you installed a Printer Driver later than the one that comes on the CD? hp generally includes older ones.
Tough to say with so little to go on, but since it could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

Writing Import and FIle Format Plug-Ins for Photoshop CS1

Hi All,
I have written two plug-ins (Import and File Format) which work fine using CS2. Unfortunately we need to be able to have them work in CS1 too. I downed the "Adobe Photoshop CS SDK" but when when I looked at the API document ("Photoshop API Guide.pdf"), chapters 6 and 9 are missing and there is no sample code for these plug-in types.
Could anyone explain why this is?
How do I write these types of plug-in's for CS1?

GPL source code to many plugins all of which are compatible with Photoshop 3.0 through CS2, on Windows and Mac. Unless you are using CS2 specific features, the your Import and Format DLLs should already work with CS on Windows.
On the Mac, the executable format changed between CS and CS2, and you would need to build a PEF plugin for CS. MPW and CodeWarrior can do that; Xcode cannot.

Problem with paragraph style overrides and character formatting

I've had this problem for a long time, and sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes it doesn't. Finally I'm begging for help.
I am typesetting academic articles into a journal. We use endnotes. The endnotes have both italic and regular formatting--italics for book and journal titles, and foreign phrases.
Sometimes when I place the text, the formatting reverts to whatever it was in Word. To try to fix that, I've begun stripping the Word formatting from the original document, making everything "Courier New" and just importing it like that. I figured this would clear a lot of the problems I've had with fiddly formatting issues.
I was mistaken.
Here is what happens:
When I place the document it comes up in the original Courier New font, with italics and other formatting intact. If I click "article style" which is the main article paragraph style format, normally it changes. but if I right click and select "apply article style" it is more likely to change the paragraph to the proper style, with italics and other formatting still intact.
But when it gets to endnotes, I'm sort of screwed.
My endnotes style is a bulletted style, so that I can have the endnote numbers consistent. but this seems to screw all the style formatting.
Here is what I do:
With the cursor in endnote text, I click "bulleted endnote style". The character format remains the same, with a + beside the style. The endnote number format is different, however. If I click "clear overrides" it does in fact change to the proper formatting, but it strips any italics or other character in the text. This is frustrating because many of these endnotes have lots of italicized journal and book titles, and it takes a long time to figure out which ones I need to reitalicize manually.
I have tried to use the "customize style import>Style mapping" but it has not fixed anything.
Please help me figure out how to make these transitions more smoothly. I am open to suggestions both on how to make the changes once the document is placed in the Indesign file, and also making modifications to formats in the native Word file so that I don't have these problems.
Thanks
Dan

Sorry, that last message wasn't supposed to send (if that's not obvious!). I was writing it and got interrupted. Damn iphone.
I know why there are two numbers. This is not an issue. What I didn't finish writing was that, the note number before i bullet it is a different font/ format. Again, not a problem. Here is something interesting, though. If I delete that original number by placing the cursor in the middle of it (say a between the 4 and 2 of 42) then delete everything by Shift+arrow forward, press delete then delete the rest of the unnecessary characters, THEN apply the style formatting, it works just fine. Is it something to do with the character codes of those original note numbers?
Word drops in so many hidden codes that it screws everything up!
