Custom Document Properties Don't Transer to Document Information

I've got an MS Word 2003 document that I've added a number of custom document properties to. I converted the document to PDF using Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. The standard properties that were included in the Word file were transferred to the PDF file but none of the custom properties were transferred. I used the Standard conversion setting and the "Convert Document Information" checkbox was checked. Am I doing something wrong or does Acrobat only transfer the standard properties by design?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks for the response. The properties I'm referring to in the Word file are those found under File > Properties. The dialog box that opens has a "Summary" tab that includes a set of standard properties (e.g. Author, Title, etc.). The dialog box also has a "Custom" tab where you can add custom properties in the form of name/value pairs. So if I want to add a custom property I enter the property name (i.e. "File Number") and the value (i.e. "VTD0123456789"). I am using PDF Maker and not printing to the Adobe PDF printer (although I tried that too this morning and the properties still didn't transfer).

Catastrophic failure -- The Document Information Panel was unable to load

I have a content type that has a document template and a custom document information panel associstaed with it. For most users, these work without issues.
Some users are reporting, however, that they receive the following series of messages when trying to create a new document from the content type:
You are currently working offline.
Here, the user can choose either Try to Connect or Stay Offline.
If the user clicks Try to Connect, the following error message is displayed:
Clicking OK results in the document loading. The DIP loads, but two fields that pull values from a SharePoint list are blank.
Again, this happens for only a handful of users, so it seems like it's an issue with either their local PC or their connection to SharePoint.
So far, I have tried the following:
Repair Office 2010 installation
Removed all locally cached versions of both the document template (.dotx) and the custom DIP (.xsn)
Verified user permissions for the SharePoint site and the SharePoint lookup list
Based on some other posts I've seen, checked to make sure that InfoPath is installed and that IPEDINTL.DLL
is present at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\1033

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the Document Information Panel was unable to load.
I recommend to go to the
Document Type Advanced Settings, click Edit template, go to
File, click on Inspect, click on Remove All behind
Custom XML Data.
Here is a similar blog for your reference:

How Do I Display Custom Document Properties On the Info - Properties Page

Hi,
I want to create a template using Microsoft Word 2010 that has fields similar to the Standard Document Property "Title" that can be used as a fillable form that repeats data throughout the document. I need a custom document property field
that you can fill out on the title page and will simultaneously change the same field that is in the header, footer, and file -> info -> properties page.
For example, I want to create a document property field called "Product ID #" that shows the title of the property on the file -> info -> properties page as "Product ID #" and the content to show up as the information
a user entered into the field on the first page.
Right now I have a standard document property that I am using as a field on the front page for the Title which has user defined content on the front page. This field has default content I set up to be "Product Specification Template".
I inserted this field by using quick parts. I want to be able to create a field that behaves like this called "Product ID #". I understand you can create custom form fields that repeat using legacy fields, but I need a way for them
to show changes instantly after you click away from the field, without having to "update field" where necessary.
Anyone have any idea how to create custom document properties like this? Or even how to rename standard properties such as "Status" or "Subject"?
Thanks

What you're asking can't all be done without a macro. You can easily enough get body content to show in the header & footer via the judicious use of Styles and STYLEREF fields (and the changes are dynamic), but getting that info into the custom
document property would require a macro. To that end, you might use a content control with a unique Style applied to it for the data input and a ContentControlOnExit macro to update the custom document property.

Linking Custom Document Properties to SharePoint

We currently have a Microsoft Office Add-in that, among other things, reads and writes Custom Document Properties. Our add-in includes a user-dialogue through which these values are captured and subsequently displayed within the document.
We now have a requirement to integrate this functionality with SharePoint 2010. In particular, we want our Office custom document properties to be co-ordinated with equivalent SharePoint server properties (i.e. site columns in Document Libraries) so that,
when a given SharePoint property value is changed the equivalent custom document property is also changed.
Users must be able to set the properties in either SharePoint or in an Office App (Word for example) and the changes be reflected in both places.
Our solution must work with the desktop versions of Office 2010/13 and the non-Office365 versions of SharePoint 2010/13.
During our initial prototyping we have looked at a number of possible approaches (including Document Property Promotion and Demotion) but are still not sure which appropriate to use.
With regard to Document Property Promotion and Demotion for example, we found that, if we create a document outside SharePoint, then invoke our add-in to set document properties, then upload the document to SharePoint; the SharePoint properties and the
Office Custom Document Properties are initially in step, any subsequent changes cause problems.
If we now change the SharePoint properties by editing them in SharePoint and then open the document in Word, the Custom Document Properties are unchanged. Similarly, any change we make in Word is not reflected in the
SharePoint properties when the document is saved back to the SharePoint library.
Our properties are all of type string in Word and type Choice in SharePoint.
For various reasons, our solution must not depend in any way on Office templates.
We would like to know what would be the recommended approach to implementing this functionality.
Below provides a basic diagram of our requirement:

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to sync the custom document properties between document and SharePoint Library.
A solution can be like this: We can add an Event Receiver to this library, it will be triggered when there is a file is checked in or the item of list is updated, then we can
read/write the specific document properties and sync between document and SharePoint Library.
The whole scenario would be like this: When a document is uploaded and checked in, the method put in the Event Receiver will be triggered and update the related columns of library.
When we updated these columns in library, we can capture the ItemUpdated event and update the corresponding properties of this document.
Here is a step by step sample on creating a simple Item added event receiver:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408183(v=office.14).aspx
For about how to update the custom properties of an Office Document, it is recommended you post another question to the Microsoft Office for Developers forum, you will get more
help and confirmed answers from there.

How to manage custom document properties (e.g., company name, project name)

Hi,
How to manage custom document properties (e.g., company name, project name, event date...) in Apple iWork Pages like it is possible in Microsoft Office Word ?
The idea is to simplify the management of multiple instances of same piece of information in a document by writing them once as a "properties" of the document that can be referencing in different places of the document. Changing the property value, will automatically change all its instances.
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your help Peter.
Search-Replace and Auto-Substitution are not requivalent for me since I'm looking for something more complex.
Suppose you have a document about an Event which occur on a specific date (e.g., 11-09-2003).
In your document, you may be interested in...
- sometimes display the date as '11-09-2003',
- sometimes display the date as 'Novembre, 2003',
- sometimes display the date as 'Sunday, November 9, 2003'.
With a document property, you would be able to define the EventDate as 11-09-2003, and then define different specific format (e.g., 'mm-dd-yyyy', 'mmmm, yyyy'...) for each reference to the EventDate document property.
Using Search-Replace of Auto-Substitution, it will be painful since you will have to define as one token per format of a document property (e.g., EventDateAsMMDDYYY, EventDateAsMMMMYYYY...).
More than that, suppose you have a Numbers table inserted in your Pages document.
You may be interested in using some document properties in formulas.
This can't be solved using Search-Replace.
But its ok, I will wait until this feature will be supported in Pages.

How to print custom documents through custom program

Hi,
I am printing custom documents like Commercial Invoice, Shipper's Letter of Instructions, Shipper's Export Declaration , using communication tab of custom declarations. SInce user wanted output with a changed layout( different from standard), so new Activity messages ( like ZP100 in place of standard P100) are created to call Z forms ( new PDF from created using SFP and called for this Message type). This part is done our fucntional team. This customize message type is calling my custom Z forms. But all these Z forms are not allowing printing of the document from Preview of PDF. Print Icon become disabled in the preview. Used wants to print from preview of PDF itself.
There is a parameter in BADI DOC_PERSONALIZE_BCS method parameter 'NOPRINT', which is passed with value 'X' in the function module to create PDF. SInce this is set to 'X' it is not letting us print from preview.
So, can anyone help me in finding what can I do to get this print enabled from preview. If I need to change this method, then what are the steps and how standard configurations will be changed to call Zprogram in place of standard.

Hi Swati,
The Badi you mentioned should help you, try changing the importing parameter in your local structure and pass this local variable, instead of the imported (IS_outputparams-noprint = 'X' ) to the function below. This is an example, you`ll need to declare data as well :
Method IF_EX_DOC_PERSONALIZE_BCS~PERSONALIZE_PDF_DOC_PDFIF
ls_output_options = is_outputparams.
IF NOT ls_output_options-preview IS INITIAL.
    ls_output_options-noprint = ' ' .    " Allow printing
   ENDIF.
call function '/SAPSLL/PRN_FORM_PROCESS_PDF'
    exporting
      iv_guid_cuhd       = lv_guid_cuhd
      iv_function_name   = ip_function_name
      iv_form_name       = ip_form_name
      iv_appl_log_handle = ip_application_log
      is_output_options = ls_outputparams " put your LOCAL structure here ....
    importing
      es_formoutput      = es_formoutput
      es_joboutput       = es_joboutput
    changing
      cs_docparams       = cs_docparams
    exceptions
      output_canceled    = 1
      others             = 2.
Hope this helps,

B2B Custom Document Type not getting identified

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g on my local machine and created a custom document type with proper .xsd definition and XPath Expression Identifier in Oracle B2B interface and configured its trading partners ( Host & Remote ) along with an agreement between the partners.
I have also configured the host listening channel of Generic-File type which picks xml files from my c:\orclsrvs_in folder.
My problem is that the moment I drop any sample file in the expected directory, it gets picked up from B2B , but there isn't any record of the same under Reports and Metrics links.
The Business message, Application message and Conversation message tabs are also not showing any information about the record picked, but in wire message tab, the record is shown in PROCESSING state.
I am not able to conclude whats wrong behind this.. where can i track the logs for the same ??
kindly help to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Hiteshkumar Chaudhary

Hi Hitesh,
i came to know that B2B extracts the TP name from the filename itselfYes, in case of Generic File, Generic SFTP and Generic FTP, file name provides the necessary values to Oracle B2B to identify the Trading Partner. You can define your own file name format in the Delivery Channel under Transport Protocol Parameters in field "Filename format" (It's an optional field but it is always good to define your own format, otherwise B2B will take it's default format - TradingPartner_DocumentType_Revision_msgType_msgId_replytoMsgID_extension.xml ). Following Filename formats can be used -
%FROM_PARTY%
%TO_PARTY%
%DOCTYPE_NAME%
%DOCTYPE_REVISION%
%MSG_ID%
%TIMESTAMP%
These file name formats can be used in any combination; for example,
%TO_PARTY%_%DOCTYPE_NAME%_%DOCTYPE_REVISION%.dat
Note - Any file extension is allowed.
what are the system parameters to be set in weblogic console and how?? This activity is part of the pre and post installation steps. If you have done those without getting any errors then nothing else is required.
how shall I reinstall XEngine properly ??XEngine is part of B2B installation. If B2B gets installed without flashing any errors then we assume that other components of this part has installed properly.

Anuj

Powershell Script to create "custom" Document Library

I have a powershell script which creates a Document Library for every user in AD.
This works, but rather than using the default Document Library I want it use a custom Document Library. However this isnt working.
My script to create the default Document Library is this...
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername/sitename");
$siteweb = $site.OpenWeb();
$webs = $siteweb.Webs;
$strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=User)(name=accountname))"
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$colProplist = "samaccountname"
foreach ($i in $colPropList){$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i)}
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults)
$objItem = $objResult.Properties; $objItem.samaccountname
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
$listId = $siteweb.Lists.Add($objItem.samaccountname, "", $listtemplate);
$list = $siteweb.Lists.GetList($listId, $true);
$roleDef = $siteweb.RoleDefinitions.GetByType("Contributor");
$user = "domain\" + $objItem.samaccountname;
$rolAssign = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($user, "email", "name", "notes");
$rolAssign.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($roleDef);
if(!$list.HasUniqueRoleAssignments)
{$list.BreakRoleInheritance($true);}
for ($i = $list.roleAssignments.Count - 1; $i -gt -1; $i--)
{ $list.RoleAssignments.Remove($i) }
$list.RoleAssignments.Add($rolAssign);
$list.Update();
Now I have a custom Document Library named "TESTLIB" so if I substitute the line:
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
with
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::TESTLIB
Then it errors with this...
How can I script powershell to create a "custom" Document Library?

Validation for Custom document over internet -Protocol

Hi all,
Could you please help me , what to configure in B2B
In protocols tab while configuring custom document over internet , do we need to swithc ON the validation or its SWITCH OFF the validation.
For both inbound and outbound transactions(PROCES PO, Change PO, Invoice, Acknowledge PO)
Regards
CNU

Hi CNU,
If your use case requires validation of incoming and outgoing documents, then you have to set the "Validation Enabled" to "Yes" in the doc definition and have to provide the XSD's/ecs against which validation should be done. If your use case does not ask for validation, then simply set the "Validation Enabled" to "No" and go ahead with the configuration.

Hi Jatin,
I fully agree with Siba that we don't have any T-code related data up for archiving but it is always table related (transactional) and area specific data that is archived.
For more dive into this topic, you can go to below area's:-
GTS cockpit-->System Administration-->Archiving.
or
you visit the Archiving administration directly through t-code SARA. Here, you will find a variety of objects to choose from based on the view of which data to be archived.

Custom document over internet encoding

Hi all!
While trying to send a custom document over AS2, the payload encoding seems to be dependent on signing and encription:
If the message is unencrypted and unsigned -- Payload is UTF-8
If the message is 3DES encrypted OR signed OR both signed and encrypted -- Payload is windows-1251 (our B2B installed on windows server 2003, regional settings = russia)
i have already tried to insert oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding=UTF-8 line in tip.properties, but it doesnt seem to help me.
The problem is: Trading partner expects UTF-8 messages. So when sent in windows-1251, the russian characters are misinterpreted.
If anyone already faced this problem, please help. Thanks.
Alex.

Hi,
I used to get "Unable to identify the trading partner agreemen" due to below reasions,
1. Agreement is not deployed properly. Please check whether deployed agreement is in active state.
2. While creating the Operational Capability, please check whether initiator and responder defined correctly.
For Outbound, Please check Remote trading partner Is Initiator should be false and Host trading partner Is Initiator should be true.
As far as I know, File name convention should be folllowed for FTP/File and not for HTTP.

Hi Dhilipan
Here we go..
You asked me to check the following
Please check following things
1) Legal regulation is activated. - Yes Activated
2) Process template assigned to the legal regulation - Yes Assigned
3) Activity Sequence determination - Yes done
4) Open the activity sequence in under Control settings for Communication processes and check if there is a document type assigned to it. Table- /SAPSLL/TLEPAF - Yes done.
It is really puzzling.

Hello Experts,
We want to activate the material classification in GTS and then print customs invoice based on the list price. To activate this do we need to implement Customs Management module? Can any one advice on this? Thanks in advance.
with best regards
K. Mohan Reddy

Hi Mohan,
Just to clear your douts and give you a big picture so that you can decide yourself
Under
SAP Compliance Management comes:
1. Embargo Check
2. SPL
3. Product-Related Check (Legal Control)
Where as Under
SAP Customs Management Comes:
1. Customs Processing (this service supports specific electronics customs declaration procedures and the printing of customs documents)
2. Transit Procedure
As per my understanding you will have to use the above two services
