Create a searchable map that highlights user selected location?

I'm a novice Acrobat user and have no idea if this is possible. I work at a facility with several hundred buildings. Our intranet has a .pdf of a "building locator" map. Not really named very well because the map is not at all interactive and doesn't help the user LOCATE anything.
Is it possible to create hotspots/labels at each building location and enable the user to then search for a particular building name or number and then have the location highlighted as a hotspot on the map?
I've poked around the help etc and didn't see anything about this. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Perhaps, something like this:

Be well...

I need help drawing a state map that highlights demographic data by zip code and county

I'm trying to draw a map of Florida that highlights some data I've collected. I need to be able to show distinctions between/among counties and zip codes. The "make a map of geographic data" video didn't really help me, as it gave no instructions on how to find the blank map in the first place.
Any help, please? Thanks

google or equivalent. how did illustrator give you that impression? it's for creating content, generally, not a clipart library.
edit: there are several here with county boundaries that you could probably convert to your needs:

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....

I've also heard that you can just copy an ".img" iDVD image to a pc, change the extension to .iso and then burn with Nero, etc. But I haven't tried it myself.....

Can you create an image map that will link to a different element on the same page?

I have used image maps before and know how to create an image map to link to a new page. In this case, however, I want to be able to click on my image using an image map and load a new image with text on the same page as the image map. Is this even possible? Is there some sort of behavior that allows you to create same-page links, perhaps using AP divs? I want the end result to be a type of gallery that loads different images depending on where you click on the main image.
Again, I don't even know if this is possible. Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Is that what you are looking for?
Insofar as linking to a position on the same page, do a Help search (F1) in DW for "named anchors."

If i have a form with check boxes. Can I add a button that will display the boxes that the user selected on a new page?

For example, there are 10 check boxes and the user selects 5 of those boxes. Then they click a submit button. Just the information from those boxes would be displayed so they can print it. Is this possible? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

That is definitely possible.
Option 1: checkboxes are all named differently.
In the click event for the submit button, add some code like this...
if (cbChoice1 == "1") p2.tfChoice1.presence = "visible";
else p2.tfChoice1.presence = "hidden"; //can use "invisible" if preferred
if (cbChoice2 == "1")...
Option 2: checkboxes are named the same
In the click event for the submit button, add code like this...
var checkboxes = xfa.resolveNodes("cbChoice[*]");
var textfields = xfa.resolveNodes("p2.tfChoice[*]");
for (i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++){
if( checkboxes.item(i).rawValue == "1") textfields.item(i).presence = "visible";
else textfields.item(i).presence = "hidden";

Flash menu that highlights the selected item when changing page?

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a menu in flash that will highlight the
current
selected menu item when selecting a specific page.
Example menu:

Imagine you have a link in a page that opens the contact >
email page.
Is there a way to get the flash menu to highlight the
"contacts > email"
item when displaying this page?
Something similar to this

Create a new object that surrounds the selected objects

Is there anyway in illustrator to create a new vector object from selected objects?
IE if i have three rectangles selected, can I make a new vector path that surrounds them all.
I dont mean welding a group of vectors together or offsetting a path...which isnt exactly what i need.
What Im needing to do is create cut lines around complex vector art quickly.
Thanks in advance.

Mike i need to make an outline around a logo but if the logo has many elements that make up the edge of the logo does that method work?
As the cut line needs to be a closed path
Ideally i want to avoid tracing around the logo with the pen tool or add to shape area in pathfinder tab.
I sure theres a really easy way to do this.
Kurt its an interesting discussion however in need a closed path to surrond artwork and live paint does just the opposite :)

Need to create a JSP page that informs user how many SMSes are sent.

Hello again ,
My project , which is based on a web-based group SMS module is working , but unfortunately when I send out the group SMS to the selected group , the notification of the sending of SMS is only made visible in the Apache Tomcat status screen . For every SMS sent , the Apache Tomcat screen will display that the SMS is sent to this phone number and recipient number out of the maximium number of recipients.
How can I make a JSP page that would allow me to display these messages instead ? Any help and advice would be welcomed .
Cheers
Seiferia

The simple way would be to just write a simple jsp that takes the output of the class and displays it. A JSP is nothing more than a servlet class, so you can use your existing classes inside it. If you want to do it the correct way, you should use taglibs to build the JSP. It's up to you.
I suggest buying a good book about JSP's and read that first, else you may be a little overwhelmed.

User selectable background that doesn't blink

Is it possible to have a flash animation, inserted in slide 1 (or on a master slide) that runs continuously in the background, without reloading or restarting as you go from slide to slide?
I'm building a course in which the user can choose between two backgrounds. The chosen background should appear continuosly as the project moves from slide to slide.
At the start of the course, the learner chooses a background... say, wood or stone.
I've tried:
1.) I built a Flash swf that does this: offers a choice, then fills the screen with the chosen background and stops.
     a. I put the swf on a master slide.
        problem: it reloads on each slide, and asks the user to choose again.
     b. I put the swf on the bottom layer of the first slide, and set the TIMING to Display for Rest of Project.
          problem: It displays on TOP of everything.
2.) I put one of the backgrounds on the master background, and used advanced actions to hide and show the other one, based on a variable. It required the second image to be present on every slide, and the advanced action to hide/show all of them each time. It works well if the second image is being hidden.
     problem: if the second image is being shown, it shows the background for a millisecond, and then shows the second image. It blinks on each slide. It's not continuous and annoying to the learner.
Can anyone think of a way to get a continuous, non-blinking background image (across slides) that is user-selectable?

Thank you Rod Ward for your prompt, correct, and encouraging reply.
It worked. The slides with the Rest Of Project background need to have their Master Slide property set to None.
Here's what I did:
slide 1 - would you like background A or B?
     A is a button that jumps to slide 2.
     B is a button that jumps to slide 3.
slide 2 - has image A with duration Rest of Project. (uncheck Place on top)
     On enter slide, I set a custom variable to "A"
     On Exit slide Jump to slide 4
slide 3 - has image B with duration Rest of Project. (uncheck Place on top)
     On enter slide, I set a custom variable to "B"
     On Exit slide Jump to slide 4
slide 4 - On enter slide, if custom variable = "A" hide B, show A; else hide A, show B.
     (You wouldn't think I'd need this, but the B background would reappear even though I "jumped" over it, and stay on top.)
subsequent slides -
     - On the Enter action of a given slide, I can us Advanced Actions to hide/show graphics (and attached sounds) based on the user's intial choice.

Change UI configuration dynamically when ever user selects a new value in a drop down field in WebUI

I enhanced the standard activity component (i.e BT126S_APPT ). In this component, in BT126S_APPT/ApptSQ view there is a field 'PROCESS_TYPE' which is a dropdown. I have created a server event for this dropdown. So that whenever user selects a value in that dropdown, a event is called and after that DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION is called. In DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION, I am checking the value of 'PROCESS_TYPE' and based on that i am setting different config keys, by calling SET_CONFIG_KEYS( ). But the configuration is not changing in WebUI. When I press F2 in WebUI its showing the config keys( searched for ) as I set, but the found config keys are same as before. I have created the configuration with the new configuration keys. Please help, I am new to crm.

Hello Shakthi,
The easier option would be to convert the DropDownByKey to DropDownByIndex. If you still want to proceed with DropDownByKey then you need to initialise the ALV data again. do the following
1. after changing the attribute-value_set, call the ALV interface controller method SET_DATA and pass the instance of the context node.
2. reintiliase all the ALV settings like edit mode, converting the column editor to DropDownByKey etc....
This will ensure the new attribute value set is reflected in the ALV component.

Oracle Maps - How to get selected FOI details?

When a FOI is added to the map and a user selects the FOI, I would like to retreive the selected details for that FOI.
Is there anyway to access the FOI details when it is selected? I cant seem to find anything in the object model to help.
Cheers
Jansen

If you are talking about theme based FOI layer, then you should read section 8.4.3.9 of the user's guide. You can add a click event listener and an FOI entry data object that contains detailed FOI attributes will be passed to this event listener.
If you are talking about user defined FOI, there is no way to retrieve detailed FOI information from the MapView object through the current Oracle Maps API. I guess your goal is to performance some operation using some FOI specific attributes when the user clicks it. You can achieve this goal by using the foi click listener. We have a method to support it, but it's not documented and its name might be changed in future releases.
The method is FOI.prototype.setFOIClickListener(listenerFunction). The parameter listenerFunction is the listener function that will be called when the user clicks the FOI. Since you can define a FOI specific listener function for each FOI, you can do whatever you want inside it, including performing some FOI specific operations.

Echo a variable in a form based on user selection

Ok I am very very new to java to the point were I only know how to use pre-made javascripts in my php code so be gentle. :)
First, here is part of a form I have:
<select name = "pulmonologist" >
<option selected="" value="">---Select---
<option value="none">None</option>
<?php
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc ($results2)) {
        ?><option value = "<?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?>"><?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?></option>
<?php }
?>
</select>Ok now I want to echo the value that the user selects on the SAME page (i.e. before the submit button is pressed) (so I can't do it with php, I need javascript) like this:
<input type="submit" value = "Contact <?php echo $pulmonologist;?>" />Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks!

This is a Java forum, not a Javascript forum. Java is not Javascript.

How to create a smart folder that only selects from a specific directory?

I am trying to create a smart folder that lists all my iPhoto original content in the last few months. I want this so that my wife can connect into the smart folder over the LAN when copying specific photos to her PC.
I am have trouble working out how to restrict the search to only those files that exists in the iPhoto directory. When I look at info for a photo is states "Where: /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/....etc etc".
However if I add an filter for "Where from" begins with "/Users/Shared/... etc etc" it returns nothing. Is there a way to do this?

Find the iPhoto library file.
Right click -> Show package contents.
Double click the Originals folder.
Type anything in the Search box at the top of the Finder window.
In the top of the Finder window, click "Originals".
Click the + (plus) sign next to Save.
Select Kind is Image.
Click the + (plus) sign again.
Select *Created date* is *within last 3 months* (or whatever you want).
Go to the search box and delete what you typed. Don't hit the X to delete the search text.
Now save the smart search.
This is saved in ~\Library\Saved searches. Copy or move it to the desktop where your wife can get access to it.

Creating report based on user selected Date Range

Hello.
I am trying to display an Apex report that selects data for the report based on a user entered date range.
It's a simple page with two date picker fields (p18_start and p18_end).
The report region SQL looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM prj_items
WHERE LM_DT BETWEEN :p18_start AND :P18_end
One table, one field on the table to search and two Apex variables.
I thought this would be fairly simple, but I am obviously missing something.
I not even sure what other information is needed to help me figure this out.
-Jody

Hi,
You can set defaults for the datepickers if you need to - this could be done in a computation on the page for each item and conditional on the item being null.
When I've done something similar to this, I've created two hidden page items - eg, :P19_FIRST_DATE and :P19_LAST_DATE and populated these with the earliest/latest date that the user could reasonably select (perhaps, in your case, the MIN(LM_DT) and MAX(LM_DT) values).
Then your SQL would be:
select * from PRJ_ITEMS
where LM_DT BETWEEN TO_DATE(NVL(:P19_START,:P19_FIRST_DATE), 'DD-MON-YY')
AND TO_DATE(NVL(:P19_END,:P19_LAST_DATE), 'DD-MON-YY')If you don't want to set default dates, you could do something like:
SELECT * FROM PRJ_ITEMS
WHERE (:P19_START IS NULL AND :P19_END IS NULL)
OR (:P19_START IS NOT NULL AND :P19_END IS NULL AND LM_DT >= TO_DATE(:P19_START,'DD-MON-YY'))
OR (:P19_START IS NULL AND :P19_END IS NOT NULL AND LM_DT <= TO_DATE(:P19_END,'DD-MON-YY'))
OR (LM_DT BETWEEN TO_DATE(:P19_START,'DD-MON-YY') AND TO_DATE(:P19_END,'DD-MON-YY'))There are various reasons why your two dates are being cleared when the page is reloaded. Firstly, you should check the branch that returns to the same page - make sure you are not clearing the cache for the page. Then, have a look to see if there is a "reset page" process (usually created for you when you create a form page). Then, check the Source settings for the items. Typically, these would be "Only when current value in session state is null" and a Source Type of "Static Assignment" with the "Source Value or Expression" left empty.

User created SQL Agent Job that uses linked server with Windows authentication

OK, here's what I want to do, but not sure exactly what I need to accomplish it.
Environment
Windows 2008 Enterprise
SQL 2012 Enterprise
SQL Server & SQL Agent running under AD account (which has local Windows Administrative privileges...yes, I know..bad!)
Linked server to Teradata utilizing AD account mappings (the linked server works successfully and each windows login is mapped to a Teradata LDAP login)
Requirement
Allow non sysadmins to create SQL Agent jobs which execute TSQL statements which use OPENQUERY(LDAPLinkedServer, '....) syntax
I've already given the non sysadmins the necessary permissions to create and run SQL Agent jobs, and I understand that the jobs run under their login context, but I suspect that I'm missing something when it comes to the linked server.
Each windows user could have access to different databases/tables on the Teradata system that even I (the SQL Server sysadmin) don't have access to.
How can I facilitate this functionality? Any ideas?

I think I may have been over complicating the Teradata piece. The authentication methodology in Teradata is LDAP, which just means that it authenticates against AD, but you still have to submit your Windows login & password. It doesn't automatically
authenticate you just because you're logged into Windows.
The linked server has the mapping for the individual windows logins like:
Local Login = <domain>.<windows id>
Remote User = <windows id>
Remote Password = <windows password>
This setup requires the user to have to change the passwords in the linked server whenever they change their passwords according to domain policy (every xx days)...but we've created a utility proc that they can use to do this.
So, I'm thinking that Teradata isn't really part of this equation.
