Compiling form data: how to add FDF data?

Hi there
I've created a PDF form and am testing the distribution and compilation process. I created the form in Acrobat. I suspect most of the end users will have Reader, so after having distributed it through the Acrobat wizard (to myself) I filled it in with Reader and sent it back (the FDF file).
When I open this FDF file from my email application, it doesn't automatically add it to the data set created in the distribution process. Instead it says that the data file cannot be located and asks if I'd like to browse for it. I do so, find it, and the completed form opens in Reader, not Acrobat. I can get around this by ctrl-clicking in Mail and telling it to open with Acrobat.
However, when I do manage to get the completed form open in Acrobat it does not add the data to the spreadsheet field at the top. If I try to Import Data, the FDF file is greyed out – it wants a PDF. And if I import the FDF by going to Forms > Manage form data > Import data..., it shows the completed form but not the data in the spreadsheet again.
So, how can I add this FDF data to the data set and get it to display in the spreadsheet area? Alternatively, how can I save this completed form as a PDF (not a data set as happens if I go File > Save) so that I can import that into the data set?
I hope I've explained it clearly enough! Any help would be appreciated.

Priya,
Preview the iview and try shiftright click or ctrlright click and add the additional fields.
if it doesnot work then you need to customise the code as per the requirements.

  • Does anyone know how to Add a date drop down list to a pdf file?

    Can someone tell me how to add a Date drop down list in a form

    There's no built-in function that does that in Acrobat, but there are some third-party tools that do.
    The two most known ones are by FormRouter, which is free and based on form fields (but also a bit buggy), and a non-free version created by Max Wyss, which is based on a dialog object.

  • How to add one date column and charecter column

    hi all,
    i have 3 column start_date(date),end_date( date),duration (varchar2)
    i am trying to add start_time and duration like this
    end_date := to_char(start_time) + duration;
    but its showing value_error
    how to add one date column and charecter column.
    Thanks

    you need something that does:
    end_date (DATE) := start_date (DATE) + <number of
    days> (NUMBER)Not necessarily, because if the duration is just a string representation of a number then it will be implicitly converted to a number and not cause an error
    e.g.
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  with t as (select to_date('01/07/2007','DD/MM/YYYY') as start_dt, '3' as duration_days from dual)
      2  -- END OF TEST DATA
      3  select start_dt + duration_days
      4* from t
    SQL> /
    START_DT+

  • How to add TIMESTAMP data type in  Enterprise Architect...?

    Hi all
    There is no data type of timestamp in Enterprise Architech. There is only
    DATE type. I have ERD prepared from Enterprise Architech. How to modify
    DATE type to TIMESTAMP type.
    How to add TIMESTAMP data type in Enterprise Architect or in ERD ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pal

    Have you asked this question of the vendor of Enterprise Architect? They may have a later version that supports the various TIMESTAMP data types. If your ERD tool doesn't support a data type, other than talking to the vendor or working around the problem (i.e. generate DDL to a text file and edit it before applying it to the database), you're probably out of luck.

  • How to add "Prepare Data" from a web service to the form

    Hello,
    Can any one please advise on how to add the "Prepare Data" process from the existing web service and have the form to pre-populate the data from this "Prepare Data" process instead of using schema xsd. I heard that this is an alternative or may be a better way to pre-populate data in ES2/ES3 to avoiding creating a data source in Form Designer. I try to find a sample on Adobe site but could not find one, most of them are using schema.
    Any guidance or URL to the sample would be helpful.
    Thanks,

  • How to add table data to an MSS PCR form?

    Hi All,
    I am new to Adobe Interactive Forms and I need to add a table of information to an existing form. This form is a customized version of an MSS PCR form Request for Termination. Currently the form fields are populated by an implementation of BADI QISR1. It is a copy of implementation HRWPC_PCR and uses the internal table special_data. All the fields currently on the form are single fields and I can see how they are populated. However I now want to add the contents of an internal table. I have read through the ISR cookbook but I cannot work out how to get this data onto the form and how or if it should be stored in the special_data table. The table (LOAN) has been added to the context and has 4 fields. Would anybody be able to provide some direction to me? Please let me know if I have not provided enough information.
    Thanks very much!
    Ashley

    Hello Ashley,
    you are already close to the solution. In BADI QISR1 you simply fill the
    table SPECIAL_DATA e.g.like
      fieldindex = 1
      fieldname = 'FIELD1'
      fieldvalue = 'Value1'
      fieldindex = <n>
      fieldname = 'FIELD1'
      fieldvalue = 'VALUE<n>'
    Then on the Adobe form layout (Adobe Designer), you have to use the table control XFO from the standard library. Here you have to bind then the corresponding column to FIELD1.
    Best regards,
    Simon

  • How to add dynamic data type as one of the terminals of a Custom VI

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me if it's possible and how to add a dynamic data type as one of the terminals of a sub-VI? I would like to have a terminal that I can connect signal from DAQmx to my sub-VI.  Thanks.

    Here is one of the coolest things about LV, and one of its major advantages over languages like VB - it has automatic memory management and it compiles whenever you make a change. This allows you to be very free in the way you handle data and change your code. In this case, you should note the small gray dot that appears when you wire the dynamic data into the Array of Waveforms input. This gray dot means that LV coerces the source data type (DDT, in this case) to the target data type (Array of waveforms). If it wouldn't match, you would get a broken wire, the VI couldn't run, and if you hover over the wire or press the broken run button you would get an exact description of the error. Cool, eh?
    This can also be seen in other things. For example, you can change an array's data type or number of dimensions by simply doing it. This will automatically be reflected anywhere the array is called in the program, and if anything won't match, the VI will be broken. If you change the # of dimensions of an array, any array function which that array is wired to will adapt. This allows you to be very safe in the way you write code, because you have LV watching all that annoying stuff for you. You don't have to worry about misspelling a variable here (for the most part).
    One important point about coercion - it does take processor power. This will usually only be evident in large arrays or loops, but it is an important point. Another thing is that coercing numeric types can cause you to lose data - coercing a DBL to a U16, for example, will cause you to lose all the fractional data.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

  • How to add PO date and Vendor name in SAP table MB5S

    How do I add PO date field and Vendor name field in SAP table MB5S?? Kindly Help

    As a general recommendation just tell the ABAPer your requirement, don't tell him how to do it.... he probably knows, or should know, better ways of doing something then a functional consultant.
    And please don't tell people to copy standard reports, most of the times there is a BADI, enhancement, or an implicit enhancement spot available. I'm a consultant who can program ABAP (including complex programs), and I've never had to copy a standard program. Ever.
    PS: And no, I didn't have to register the object for modification either.
    EDIT: I went to check the program and you have two explicit enhancement spots to use:
    ENHANCEMENT-POINT read_data_01 SPOTS es_rm07msal - You use this to fill the extra fields of itab;
    ENHANCEMENT-POINT EHP605_RM07MSAL_03 SPOTS ES_RM07MSAL - You use this to enhance the field catalog of the ALV if you are on EhP5, if not create an implicit enhancement on the same stop.
    Current SAP allows enhancements everywhere, copying programs should be forbidden.

  • How to add IPTC data to multiple photos w/o overwriting other data?

    I need to see if there's a way to add IPTC data to one or more fields to mulitple photos without disturbing the other fields' data that's already there. For example, I've keyworded & captioned my images, but now would like to add the City or the Country to all the shots, or a group of shots.
    Conventional Lift & Stamp will override the keyword & caption field info on the stamped images, which I don't want. How to I lift & stamp other select fields? I sure don't want to have to type in the city or country on hundreds/thousands of images!
    Randy
    Power Mac G5, dual 2.5, 2.5 gb   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Thanks for the reply.
    In the Lift & Stamp HUD, under the IPTC heading,
    there's no way to de-select the sub-categories of
    Caption & Kepyword, leaving just State (or other
    fields which don't seem to be even present). One can
    de-select the major categories of Keywords, Caption,
    IPTC, etc. but not the subcategories. This is the
    problem I'm running into -- no way to just add
    additional data in select fields.
    Unless I'm missing something.
    Indeed! Aperture does not make this at all obvious, but with any line highlighted in the Lift & Stamp HUD just hit the "delete" key and that line is gone. If you delete a category (line with a checkbox) the whole category goes, if you expand a category you can delete individual lines, whatever you like. Also very handy for adjustment stamping when you don't want to stamp a clone job, just white balance.
    It remembers what you have removed until you do another Lift.

  • How to add two date format in web i report.

    Hi Every One,
                     I have Fields like Start Date,New Date, Close Date, End date balance.
    that Fields all are in date format like start date(05/05/14), New date(06/05/14),Close date(09/05/14)
    But i need result (start date+new date)-close date=enddate balance .
    How will achieve this requirement in web i please replay me.

    Hi Stefen Jay,
    For suppose, let us assume you have START DATE, NEW DATE and CLOSE DATE as mentioned below.
    And please make sure that all START DATE, END DATE, NEW DATE are in same format.(MM/dd/yyyy)
    Now first you need to add start date and new date. Create a variable
    Start Date & New Date  = RelativeDate([Start Date];DayNumberOfMonth([New Date]))  // Gives 5/11/14 as result.
    And now subtract Close Date from the above result using this formula.
    End Date = RelativeDate([Start Date & New Date];-DayNumberOfMonth([Close Date]))  //Gives 5/2/14 as result.
    Find below screenshot for reference.
