Create pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by another user. This user would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

I don't play with forms enough to give an answer. However, you might search the Forms sub-forum for a possible solution. You might also find better answers there, though many of the forms experts drop by here too.

How to populate a form from an xml file with multiple records

I want to be able to create a single form that will add pages as needed based upon the number of records being imported from an xml file.
I have an IRS form that does this exactly, but I do not know how to re-create it. I entered data into the form, then exported that data to xml. Then I opened that xml file in excel and added more records (this is just an easy way to manage the xml data in a tabular form). Then I import the changed xml file into the IRS form and it adds as many pages as I have records. Perfect! Unfortunately, I cannot edit the form to examine the technique. It does not appear to be relying upon any additional local javascript files. It does use an 'add page' button which may suggest the form is using the template .spawn() technique, but when I try that in my own form, it gives me unique field names for each page which are then not consistent with the xml data. Hopefully someone can help me understand what I am missing.

did you want
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>

Create a list from an XML file no display

I have a multiline Dynamic text box called projList.
I am trying to populate it from an xml file and create a
clickable list.
The trace works but cannot get to display the list in the
text box.
As far as the clickable goes, haven't gotten that far yet.
Help very much appreciated.
The xml is structured like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <images>
- <pic>
<Image>/Butler/Images/sfah2_small.jpg</Image>
<Category>Institutional</Category>
<Proj_title>FRESH AIR HOME</Proj_title>
Please see code below:
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
var allproj_xml:XML = new XML();
allproj_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
allproj_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
trace("onload...");
if (success) {
trace("success...");
var thePath_str:String = "/images/pic/Proj_title";
var title_array:Array =
XPathAPI.selectNodeList(this.firstChild,
thePath_str);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < title_array.length; i++) {
trace(title_array
.firstChild.nodeValue);
projList.addItem(title_array.attributes.Proj_title);
} else {
trace("error loading XML");
allproj_xml.load("allimages.xml");
stop();

This did it:
projList.addItem(title_array
.firstChild.nodeValue);

You can open both Muse files at once, copy the content of a page on one site, then paste it into a new page on the other site. You might have to redo some of the page styling.

Creating pdf forms from a Word doc that will need to be edited in the future

Ok, I searched everywhere for an answer to this situation... and I want to know if there is a work around.
Basically, I have a word document. I will use this Word document to create a application form. So I will manually create fields where needed after I convert the document to pdf.
Now here is the issue... at some point, the Word document will have to be changed... maybe a date or an address or something. This would mean I would have to change the original Word document, re-create the form (adding all the fields again) and re-publish it.
Can I somehow edit the text in the pdf (with the fields already in place) without having to change the original word file and re-create the form?
Has anyone had this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there an assumption that the original Word document you use to create your form (pdf) will not be changed at a later date?
Thanks.
Quinn

Ok, sorry if I haven't quite figured this out.
When I create a pdf form, AA can detect some fields and automatically creates them. This is great. For other fields, I have to create them. No problem.
So here I have Document A (MS Word) and my new pdf form (Document B).
I edit Document A and change the date in the header let's say. I re-create my pdf form (Document C).
How will Document C remember to re-associate the fields I created in Document B? Won't I have to start all over again?
This is my question. If the answer is no, then I just have to hope that when I create the new form, AA can figure out as many fields as possible (and selection choices such as bullet, check marks, etc).
Thanks again for your help.

Create SOAPMessage object from existing XML file

Say I have already had a SOAP Message in a .xml file format.
How can I create a SOAPMessage object in my program by loading the .xml file directly into it as opposed to using those getEnvelope(), getSOAPPart(). to build it piecemeal?

Okay, I found out already
import javax.xml.soap.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import javax.xml.messaging.*;
public class UDDIquery{
public static void main(String args[]){
try {
MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage request = factory.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = request.getSOAPPart();
StreamSource src = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(args[0]));
soapPart.setContent(src);
SOAPConnectionFactory conFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = conFactory.createConnection();
URLEndpoint endpoint = new URLEndpoint(args[1]);
request.writeTo(System.out);
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(request,endpoint);
} catch (SOAPException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e){
System.err.println(e.getMessage());

PDFMaker missing files issue with PDF Forms from Office 2007

Hi,
I have Adobe PDF 8.0 Pro installed (full installation) and I upgraded office from 2003 to 2007 AND Windows from 2000 to XP Pro.
I used to be able to create PDF Forms from an Excel document when using Office 2003.
Now, when I choose to create a new form starting with an electronic document [from an Excel 2003 document (.xls)], I get this error message:
"PDFMaker files are missing, would you like to repair?" (please image attached)
I did the repair. Did not worked.
I made sure the add-in in office was enabled. Did not worked.
I un-installed Adobe 8.0 Pro and Adobe Reader 9.0 and re-installed only Adobe 8.0 Pro , thinking there was a problem there. Did not work.
I googled for more answers, did not find anything else.
I am able to "print as Adobe PDF", I can create normal PDF documents, but not the Forms.
I used that option all the time for work. Can someone help me please?!!
Thanks!
Gwen

Bill, it worked!!
I updated to 8.1.6 and now I can use an electronic document to create a form.
Thank you!
I have another question: in the past, to enable Acrobat READER users to fill out a form and save it on their computer, all I had to do is "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" in the "advanced" menu of Acrobat Pro.
I did just that but my colleagues who have Adobe Reader 9 cannot fill the form. It appears as a scanned PDF document to them.
Any idea why?!
Gwen

CME not creating custom SEP MacAddress .cnf.xml files, using XMLDefault.cnf.xml for phones

Hello, I have CME 8.6 installed on two 2851s and before going into production, I am testing a few phones.
One of my 2851's is creating cnf.xml files for each phone using SEP<Mac address>.cnf.xml and the other one will not and the phones keep booting up with XMLDefault.cnf.xml.
I've looked at both configurations and I can't see what the difference is. Other than not being able to create the SEP<MacAddress>.cnf.xml files, the phones appear to be loading up fine.
One difference I see is the "its" directory is located on system: on the one that creates the cnf files, and the "its" directory is located in flash on the one that doesn't, although I don't know how that matters.
Below is the one that doesn't create the SEP<MACADDRESS>.cnf.xml files for phones:

Hello, and thanks for the good advice. I did try and added the cnf perphone command and ran no create cnf-files and then create cnf-files, but unfortunately its still not making them.
Also, from the other few CME installations I've seen, all of the information is in flash, but for some reason when I xtracted the tar for this CME, it's showing up in system: ? Could that be a problem? Here is what I see:

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<House>+
+<Warehouse>+
+<WarehouseId>1</WarehouseId>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;
INSERT INTO xmltest
VALUES(xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'test.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

Hi again,
Thanks for keeping the post open for me. I've had a look at the post illustrating the XFileHandler package, and tried to alter it to make it fit with my XML files. To help explain things, my XML file looks like this:

</House>And the XFilehandler package looks like this (I'm just trying to do a simple select only on WarehouseId & WaterAccess for the time being to keep things simple):
create or replace package XFileHandler as
TYPE TRECORD IS RECORD (
 WID NUMBER(2)
, WACCESS VARCHAR2(5)
type TRecordTable is table of TRecord;
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2) return TRecordTable pipelined;
end;
create or replace package body XFileHandler is
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2)
 return TRecordTable pipelined
is
 nb_rec number := 1;
 tmp_xml clob;
 tmp_file clob;
 rec TRecord;
begin
 DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(TMP_FILE, TRUE);
 tmp_file := dbms_xslprocessor.read2clob(p_directory, p_filename);
 LOOP
 tmp_xml := regexp_substr(tmp_file, '<\?xml[^?]+\?>\s*<([^>]+)>.*?</\1>', 1, nb_rec, 'n');
 exit when length(tmp_xml) = 0;
 --dbms_output.put_line(tmp_rec);
 nb_rec := nb_rec + 1;
 select y.WID, y.WACCESS
 into rec.WID, rec.WACCESS
 from xmltable('/House' passing xmltype(tmp_xml)
 columns WID NUMBER(2) PATH 'Warehouse/WarehouseId',
 WACCESS VARCHAR2(5) PATH 'WaterAccess') y;
 pipe row ( rec );
 end loop;
 dbms_lob.freetemporary(tmp_file);
 return;
end;
end;Now, when I run the query:
select * from table(XFileHandler.getRows('XML_DIR', 'XFileHandler_test.xml'));I get the error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17285], [0x5CFE8DC8], [4], [0x45ABE1C8], [], [], [], []
I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,
Shaun.

How to generate GUI code from parsed XML file?

hai,
I have to generate GUI code after parsing any configuration XML file as input.Now i have parsed my XML file and got its attributed and i want to get some idea of how to map the parsed XML attributes to the java code to build GUI code.

Hello,
1. I like to create data type from a XML file structure, which contains the data structure ?
XML fields will need to be taken note of to see which is repeating or not. You can also load the XML into a third-party tool such as Altova XML Spy and then generate an XSD from there. You will need to import the XSDs into PI under external definitions. However, this does not guarantee business interoperability, as such, it is always best to ask the provider for the XSDs or WSDL. It will also save you a lot of time from guessing which fields are needed or not.
2. How to create custom node function in graphical mapping editor ?
In your graphical mapping editor, on the lowest left corner, there is an icon there that says Create New Function. You must take into account their return types:
1. Single Values = String
2. Queue/Context (no return type) thus resultList is used.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How can I reference a dtd in the Web-Inf directory from an xml file?

Hi,
I've placed my test.xml and test.dtd files in the following
direcory (part of my web application)
weblogic\config\MyDomain\applications\sample\Web-inf
When I refer to the dtd from the xml file, as follows,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE application SYSTEM "test.dtd">
Weblogic tries to look for the dtd in the weblogic directory(the
place where I started the server from). How can I get it to read
the dtd in the Web-inf directory?
I'm using Weblogic6.0 SP1 on Windows NT 4.0
Thanks.

Two options:
1) Use SYSTEM "http://localhost:7001/sample/test.dtd"
2) Or use XML registry in WLS6.0
Cheers - Wei

Populating dropdown list from an XML file

Hi!
I want to prepopulate a dropdown list in a form from an XML file.
Typically something like:
A
B
C
Is this the correct way to specify the list's values in XML?
How do I specify the binding property of my dropdown list, to put the values A, B and C into the dropdown list?
I am using Designer 7.0!
Thanks!

Liana,
   You can't do this with Designer 7.0. If you upgrade to Designer 7.1,
you can bind dropdown list values to your xml data using the dynamic
property binding capabilities.
Hope this helps!
