Creating a test in PDF: Is it possible to create Right and Wrong answer fields in PDF?

Very new to this. I may be way off, but Im trying to create a test for some students to do in class. Is it possible to create fields that turn green when right and red when wrong? Also can you have a field that accumulates the right answers to give a score?

Sure you can, with a bit of JavaScript. What sort of fields will you be using and what part of the field do you want to be green or red?

Placed PDF with Layers - can layers be maintained and exported in a new PDF?

Can a layered PDF placed in InDesign include these layers in the InDesign Layers Panel? I have a layered PDF created in Illustrator CS4. I'm placing it in InDesign CS4 6.0.4 and want to export a PDF with the layers in tact from Illy. I use the Show Import Options dialog box and can see all of the layers in the layers tab. I tried both options for update links so that choice seems unimportant. I only see one layer, Layer 1, in the InDesign layers panel after placing the PDF. I was expecting to see all of the layers from the placed PDF. I exported as Acrobat 6 with Create Acrobat Layers checked but the only layer in the exported PDF is Layer 1. I searched and read for quite some time and can’t figure it out. Maybe I’m expecting something that isn’t possible but it sounds like it should be. I tried placing it as a native AI file with the same results. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks to Bob and Peter. I understand what you said. It seems as though the ability to place a file with layers should allow you to take advantage of it better. This is a map that will allow users to turn on or off various points of interest, hotels, etc. Now I realize I can at least control them from the place dialog box so, other than having to place the same map multiple times I end up with what I wanted. Thanks for the soultions.

Advanced user rights and 500 users of my PDF Form

I am owner of Acrobat Pro & Livecycle Designer ES. I have done interactive pdf form and i would like to sell it to my client. My client would like to put it in intertet for his customer. I suppose that would be more than 500 answers in a year. They will collect data and post by e-mail or post to him.
What should i do to do it legally (i would like to save it locally)?

LiveCycle Reader Extensions is (was) part of the ADEP enterprise portfolio. There are no price lists as each package is tailor-made for a customer - to discuss pricing and installation options you must speak directly to Adobe Customer Support.

@Bernd. OK i understand your point of view. So please tell me how is it with that server product. May i rent this product from hosting company or only i can buy it for heavy cash and put it on my own server? Is it allow to resell? Where is price list? Why i can`t find any reseller to rent me that server for small company. Is that only allowed for enterprise who has thousands of servers and did not resell it to small people. Please give me opportunity for cash (which small firm can pay) to save it localy without changing advanced user rights. If i had opportunity i would like to buy it but i fell that i can`t. Maybe i am wrong. So please tell me what should i buy to do that. Please tell me also how much it cost and where is any price list to that. I represent few persons company and i can afford normal price software as Creative Suite and not afford buying server for 50K or something like that.

Creating junit test cases using the reflection API

In order to use the reflection API to get information about a *.java file's class name and methods, I need to compile the *.java file first, and then get info through the *.class file. Am I right?
Eclipse, the Java IDE, can create junit test cases for java files the user selects right after the *.java files have been created, and even before the *.java files have been compiled by the user. I guess Eclipse internally compiles the java files before creating JUnit test cases for them. Does anyone know about it? Thanks.

Let me explain my problem in more details.
Given any java source tree, my program is supposed to create junit test cases for each class using java reflection. My approach is to scan through the source tree to keep the list of classes available, then compile all the java files in the given source tree, then do Class.forName() to load them to get their methods... Obviously I don't know what classes I will have at compilation time. I create a temp_classes directory as the output directory for the given source tree java files, and I add temp_classes to my classpath when I strart up my own program. However, that won't work..
D:\eclipse\workspace\cmpe271_hw4\classes>java -classpath ..\classes;..\temp_classes Test
javac -classpath .\temp_classes; -d .\temp_classes @temp_classes\javalist.txt

Possible to create a custom renderer for rendering standard component ?

This is in context for creating dynamic Data tables. Is it possible to create a custom Renderer for rendering component (standard) without creating a custom component?
namanc

Let's assume you want to create a custom renderer which will be used to render the error-messages (the h:messages tag). The component-family in this case is: javax.faces.Messages, the renderer-type javax.faces.Messages.
Therefor in your application's faces-config.xml add this renderer-statement (inside a render-kit, obviuosly):
<faces-config>

<render-kit>
    <renderer>
      <component-family>javax.faces.Messages</component-family>
      <renderer-type>javax.faces.Messages</renderer-type>
      <renderer-class>my.very.special.MessagesRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
</render-kit>

</faces-config>The code for MessagesRenderer is very dependent on your needs, therefor I will not post something here. Basically you need to extend javax.faces.render.Renderer. For help in that camp, surf to the online tutorials or get yourself a book (I learned a lot from Kito Mann's "JSF in Action"). Additionally grab the source for Sun's RI AND Myfaces and dig into that java-code. There is a huge learning potential looking at that source-material.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE TRANSACTION WITHOUT USING ACTION BOX?

HI,
We are trying to implement CIC NON-TELEPHONY.
Our requirment is simple we need to create complaint from CIC.
Is it possible to create a transaction without calling it from action box using default workspaces.
I mean i will not configure action box at all all i do is create a default work space for complaint which appears when the CIC screen is called up.
Is it really possible to create this way or is it mandatory that the transaction should be called from action box only to create it?
Can some one please advice on this we just need to create a couple of transactions from CIC 'cause we are planning to set up a small call centre.
Though i am not sure of the way it needs to be created i tried to create it with default workspaces ( i mean i did not call it from the action box) but the problem is while i create the transaction in this way i have a problem with partner determination and organization determination they are wrongly determined.
So, i need to confirm is this way of creating acceptable.
Awaiting suggestions
Regards,
SAM

Hi Sam,
As far as I know, the way that you use the Default workspace(Business Activity) with the transaction type as Complaint should be fine. There is no hard and fast rule to only create the Complaints in CIC via Action Box.
Pertain to the Partner / Org. Determination, when you launch CIC, then as per the configuration, the default workspace(Business Activity) of the transaction type Complaint will be used and at this very begining itself the partner determination(associated with the transaction type) will be executed. And this is what you can see in the workspace as well.
When you confirm a BP, then as per the customizing maintained in the transaction CRMC_CIC_SEARCH_RULE("Profiles for contact search"), the BP1 and BP2 partner functions will be pushed into the Activity you made as default for the interaction.
This is how the CIC - with Business Activities & Partner Functions will work. I guess, apart from the way that you had made the default workspace of the transaction type as Complaint, you can also have a look at the above mentioned transaction for Contact searches and according to your need you can change the partner functions.
Hope this information helps !
With Best Regards,
Vinod

Generating a PDF from a OTF (imported from CLOSE_FORM) and send it by mail.

Hello!
I have a problem.
I'll try to explain it toy you.
I have a SapScript that the user has the option to send it to the printer or have a Print Preview. I need to send it by mail in PDF format.
If the user select PRINT, a spool id is created, I can get the OTF, generate the PDF and send it by mail. Everything OK with that.
The problem is if the user select PRINT PREVIEW I don't get a spool id. So, what I did is to get the OTF from the CLOSE_FORM MF and generate de PDF from there. I tried several FM to generate the PDF but for sure I'm doing something wrong, because or the PDF is corrupted or I have a problem with the parameters in the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM.
So, what I need it: Generate a PDF from a OTF imported from CLOSE_FORM FM and send it by mail.
Examples or the FM I can use are welcome.
I tried to do search here, but I couldn't find anything that may help me..
So, please... Show me the light!!!
Thanks!!!

Downloaded AA Pro trial version on my MAC it expired, I uninstalled it and I still cannot see pdf's

Can someone help? I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro for a free trial on my MAC and realized how expensive it was and decided not to buy it. I was unable to open up pdf documents so I uninstalled the Pro and now I can open pdf that are in my "documents" but some of the professional publications that I subscribe to have a web version of the publiation in a web pdf format and all I'm getting is a black screen. Any thoughts suggestions? I feel like AA has taken my computer hostage. It shouldn't be like this! Help??? Thanks in advance!

install a pdf reader for your browser.
installing adobe acrobat reader will do that for you: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
untick mcafee unless you're certain you want it.

Is it possible to create interactive drop down lists that reference tables on separate pages of the PDF?

I am looking to create a user input PDF in which drop down lists are utilized to search tables, however, I am not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible? Also, is it possible to write a background code that could read user inputted text to run a search or even solve some equation? Can someone let me know if these items are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be necessary to accomplish these tasks? Thanks!

PDFs have no concept of "tables" like MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.
Acrobat JavaScript does know about arrays and form fields. So one could have an array in JavaScript and fill in a series of fields that looks like a table. One can then use JavaScript to search the table.
JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user input in fields and pop-up windows.
It is possible to solve user imputed equations if the proper notation or coding is used.

Siebel wants to send the data as xml to BI but not sure of the BI capabilities on giving WSDL embedded with XSD (input is a hierarchical)

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Creating PDF with annotation possibility in Adobe reader

How can I create pdf's that have the possibility to create annotations (highlights and sticky notes) in Adobe Reader.
What has to be done at the creating moment of the PDF. Will Adobe Acrobat Standard be sufficient, or is an extended version necessary.
I will create about 1000 PDF's a day. Will one licence be enough?

One license of Acrobat Pro or Pro Extended would let someone "Extend Features in Adobe Reader".
This would have to been done on PDFs already created.
I would be done one PDF at a time.
The alternative is LiveCycle ES (an Adobe Server product) which would do much, if not all, the work programmatically.
However, it is expensive.
Be well...

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

Afternoon all,
I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel. PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions. This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

> Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).
