Create form Based on PDF and import template

Hey, I am printing a standard document to a PDF file. We then want to take this PDF file and add an editable comment fields. I can do this manually, but it takes awhile to add all the comments fields, and it has to be done for several PDF files. Is there anyway I can import the PDF file, then apply a template that would simply add the editable comment fields?

what's the advantage of exposing it in the application module rather than in the view object ?

i've tried implementing the method in the application module (i had to call the findViewObject() now) but the "Row currentRow = vo.getCurrentRow();" instruction throws a NPE.

    Can't you use the standard method for taking screenshots of what is on your screen? (which depends on your platform and OS version).

  • Create form based on existing row : advice from specialists

    hello,
    i've coded a "create form" based on a row selected by the user.
    this create form displays the same information as the selected row (except for the primary key which is a sequence trigger-calculated) the user can then modify any field and then commit the creation. It's quicker for tables with many columns since the user will override only several fields instead of setting every field one by one.
    I've done it this way :
    1) creation of a createCustomMethod() in my ViewObject implementation class and published it in the client interface.
    2) drag and drop the method as a command button on the selection list page
    3) set the action of the command button to the navigation case value to open the create form when the button is clicked.
    the code of the createCustomMethod() is the following
    public void createCustomMethod() {       
    Row currentRow = this.getCurrentRow();
    Row newRow = this.createRow();
    newRow.setAttribute("Attribute1",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute1"));
    newRow.setAttribute("Attribute2",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute2"));
    /* more initialization code here */
    this.insertRow(newRow);
    this.setCurrentRow(newRow);
    it works fine but as i'm knew to ADF BC is this a good solution ? are there any drawbacks to it ?
    thanks
    -regards

    There is a commercial tool called plpdf, but i can't tell if its good..
    Also possible would be to create an XML-FO with sql or pl/sql.
    And then use Apache-FOP to convert the XML-FO into a pdf, rtf or whatever you want.
    No extra costs but the effort to learn a bit about the fo elements/syntax.
    I think the newer Apex-Versions can doing something like this also. Maybe additionally ask in the Apex Forums.

    Ian,
    So, in other words, you're saying that it's not possible to export directly objects (like smart albums) that reside outside of projects?
    I know, for example, you can "export" anything created inside a folder by dragging and dropping the folder to another library; but you then have to rebuild the library to get the new folder and its contents to be recognized. For my library, this takes too much time to do.

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

  • When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle in motion.

    When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle.even though the size of the document i worked in photoshop is the same as that in motion 5. which is Pal D1/DV 720 x 576.
    Thanks

    hi,
    check the pixel aspect ratio in both the photoshop file and Motion project and make sure they match too. Or simply resize in Motion until round again. or even easier create the circle in Motion directly.

  • Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

    Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

    Regardless of your goal yes, it would be separate steps - but let me see if I understand what you want so I can explain better...
    I am assuming you want to export the response data to Excel, this is an action from the "File" = "Export Responses" menu item and can export all of the response data to Excel at one time (also has the option of PDF or CSV).  That would be done as one step, exporting to Excel.  If you also wanted a PDF version of the table with all responses you could repeat that and select "PDF" the second time.
    If you want PDF's of each individual response (you can "Download Response as PDF" which is a PDF that looks like the original form filled out) then that is also a separate step and has to be done individually for each response you want to download as PDF.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • 7.0 Create forms based on Access data -David O'Hanlon are you there?

    Hi - Using a pdf created using LiveCycle 7.0<br /><br />I'm trying to create xFDFs using data from an Access database.  The xFDF should then be e-mailed to users who fill out the forms and return xml files by e-mail.  I then parse out the xml in to SQL Server using VBScript.<br /><br />The problem is that setting the value isn't working.  The real form is based on an XML schema & is more complicated, so Here's the xfdf I'm trying to create for a simple test:<br /><br />================================================================<br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><br />     <fields><br />          <field name="Identifier"><br />               <value>CRAP</value><br />          </field><br />     </fields><br />     <f href="C:\Documents and Settings\kirkenda\My Documents\ReviewerForm\form.pdf"/><br /></xfdf><br />===============================================================<br />The pdf form only has one field, Identifier.  The xfdf will open in reader, but the value isn't set to CRAP.  This type of thing works in forms created using Acrobat 6.0, but I can't get it to work with the forms I've created using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 that comes with Acrobat 7.0.     I'm thinking of uninstalling 7.0 and reinstalling 6.0, as I've hit a wall at every turn to try to pre-populate a form.<br /><br />Has anyone been able to do this in 7.0?<br /><br />Any comments at all - ANYTHING! would be welcome.<br /><br />Thanks -- Ginger<br />(posted to the Acrobat forum by mistake)

    I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
    Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
    My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
    So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
    which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
    My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
    so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
    But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
    I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
    Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
    Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
    or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

  • Is it possible to dynamically create form fields in PDF form?

    Hi all,
    I would like to dynamically create object like textbox, dropdown list from xml data. For example:
    When I receive following xml data:
    <field name="Check Box" type="selectbox"/>
    <field name="Text Field" type="textbox"/>
    I want to generate 2 form fields check box and text field with title "Check Box" and "Text Field" accordingly.
    Is it possible to do it in javascript for PDF form?
    Thank you and regards,
    Anh

    You cannot dynamically create objects on the fly like that but you can create interpret the XML and create an XDP file (which is the language of the template file) then bring that into Designer and create a PDF from that.

  • Form based login, iframes and session time out

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a site using form based login.
    The site contains a page protected page, default.jsp that have a logout button/link (clicking it invalidates the session), and a navigation bar with links linking opening them in iframes inside the default.jsp page:
    I have also a login.jsp page and and a error.jsp page
    Everything works fine I can login, I can logout. My problem occurs when the session times out and the user tries to access protected contents in the internal frames. He then is promted for a new login. The problem is that the login,jsp page now turns up inside the jframe designatet for my contents.
    I woud have liked the login page to turn up at the top level i.e. filling the entire browser window (i.e on the same level as the default.jsp page). Is this somehow possible?
    Regards
    Uno Engborg

    Easy answer: use JS to jump out iframe.
    Best answer: don't use iframes, but use server side includes like jsp:include. Iframes have too much disadvangages, topping the extremely bad SEO and UX.

  • Can't Create Form From Existing PDF

    I received a PDF from a woman, it is a form that I can print out and snail mail. I decided to convert it to a PDF fillable form as it would be faster and cleaner to fill out...I can't. I am getting the following error and it's not just her PDF, I get this on any file I convert to PDF and tell to create a fillable form of. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to CC  and installed the latest Acrobat version.
    Error:
    "Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error:
    Bad PDF; error in processing fonts. <bad Type0 font> [1]
    Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed. Because of this failure, you are advised to not save these changes."
    I don't know what font she used nor the program, I don't have control of that short of asking her to change the font so Acrobat will play with it. One could assume she used the exact same file she made the previous year and just updated the year and date on it which, using my previous version of Acrobat would work fine at creating a fillable form.
    Enquiring minds want to know.
    Thanks

    If you are adding/modifying ejb-jar.xml outside JDeveloper and trying to see the changes.
    Save the ejb-jar.xml file which is being modified externally
    Select ejb-jar.xml in JDeveloper
    and do View | Refresh
    This will load in the changes (providing the source path has been set properly)

  • Creating form based on table with non-sequence pk.

    How to you create a form based on a varchar2 column and not a sequenced assigned pk. So the pk would be entered at the time a new
    row is added. It would be entered just like the other fields from the form and not a sequence.
    How do you do this as when using the wizard it prompts you to select one of 3 ways to define the pk.
    Sequence, trigger or pl/sql code.
    If the answer is pl/sql code, what do I need to create in the code?

    If the primary key is created by the user themselves (which is not recommended, you should have another ID which the user sees which would be the varchar2 and keep the primary key as is, the user really shouldn't ever edit the primary key) then all you need to do is make sure that the table is not populated with a primary key in the wizard and then make sure that you cannot insert a null into your varchar primary key text field.
    IF you're doing it this way I would make a validation on the page which would run off a SQL Exists validation, something along the lines of
    SELECT <primary key column>
    FROM <your table>
    WHERE upper(<primary key column>) = upper(<text field containing user input>);
    and if it already exists, fire the validation claiming that it already exists and to come up with a new primary key.
    Like I said if you really should have a primary key which the database refers to each individual record itself and then have an almost pseudo-primary key that the user can use. For example in the table it would look like this:
    TABLE1
    table_id (this is the primary key which you should NOT change)
    user_table_id (this is the pretend primary key which the user can change)
    other_columns
    etc
    etc
    hope this helps in some way

  • Error creating form based on a table

    This is wierd. I am running WebDB2.2
    and up until now it has been no problem
    creating forms from tables. But now in
    this schema called SUMI I am unable to
    create a form based on a table. I get
    the error below. I have assigned SUMI
    almost every possible permission
    (DBA, WebDeveloper) so I

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Marvin.
