Data display - aligning group data and carry over on new page logic - 11G

I am fairly new to BI Publisher, so any help would be much appreciated. I am working with a standard pdf form to display Purchase Order Data. I have saved the image of the pdf as the background of the page. I have a simple table where I am inserting all the data and aligning it on the page so it appears to be in the correct place on the form.
The form has a section containing 10 blank lines to display the PO data. Each line is .25 inches.
The problem occurs that at the line description can have 254 characters but the space on the line allows for 51 characters. So I need to display the data something like this (for simplicity sake)
TableA.id TableA.Description254
Line 1 1 Blah, 1-51 characters of line descr
Line 2 Blah blah, 52 - 102 characters
Line 3 2 Blah, 1-51 characters of line descr
Line 4 3 Blah, 1-51 characters of line descr
Line 5 Blah blah, 52 - 102 characters
Line 6 Blah blah, 103 - 153 characters
anything that carries over needs to go to a second page with a different background image. So I have several questions.
1. Any suggestions on how to display the PO Line, so I can substring the PO line description and display the remaining data on a following line? A second line would write the next 51 characters of data if it exists, and would not display the first column, (TableA.Id)
2. Any suggestions on how to load the carry over data (anything over the 10 lines on the first page) and display on the following page.
I am including a screen shot so this might make more sense. I have lightly dashed orange lines showing of my table which I use for aligning the data. It is only for reference.

Ok, just in case anyone runs into the same issue. Here was my solution.
I added a made up record to the existing xsd template that served as a place holder for my dynamic content.
I created an app package that has two properties.
1. Full String
2. Single Line String
The Method takes in the column width as a parameter. It searches through the Full String until it finds the last available word before the column width. It then returns that as the Single Line String and updates the Full String to what's remaining.
If I have any of the Full String remaining I keep calling the method.
I can provide more specific details about the method if anyone needs it.

Importing data from a .txt file and have Acrobat create new pages

Hi everyone,
I've created a form in Acrobat 9 to be used as an invoice. I want to be able to import data from an excel spreadsheet or .txt file into all the form fields. I know that I can go Forms > Manage form Data > Import Data to import 1 record at a time, but say I have about 50 invoices to populate, is there a way to import all the records at once and have acrobat create a new invoice for each of the customer's records?
If there is a way, will it be compatible for Acrobat Reader users since this form will be used by someone who only has the Reader?
Really appreciate any help.

Sure.. this is what we use. "New Micro Right Click Tools"

Hi Gurprit,
1.> How i attached my application to iview ?
       You can attach your application to web Dynpro IView, for this login into portal, in the Content Management tab right click on a folder, then New --> IView. Select WD java Application. Select your application and create an Iview.
2.> How i created Transaction iview ?
       Similarly, instead of selecting WD java Application, select iView template, you will get a list of available templates, and in this you will find template for Transaction Iview, in this template define the Tx for which you want to create the template.
3.> Can i attache my application iview with transaction iview if it is possible then how ?
      No, I dont think you can attach your application to transaction Iview. but, you can attach both IViews on single page.
4.> Can i display My application iview and transaction iview in single page ?
      Yes, you can attach both IViews on single page. Again in Content Management tab, crate a PAGE; Then right click on created IViews and select add IView to Page ßß: Delta Link.
Hope this helps.

How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?

Is it possible to erase the existing data on a time capsule and start over?

The licensing agreement for the time capsule allows a one time transfer of the product and I have the opportunity to get a lightly used one from a friend but can find no information on erasing existiong data and starting over. Can it be done?

Wow, that was quick — thanks! Being computer illiterate is a major pain!

E52 Date Display does not update and reflect the c...

Right from day 1 the display date of my E52 does not update and reflect correct the correct date. Got the phone replaced once still the same issue. Called the customer service and they say there is no such problem with E52. They asked me to go to the repair center...(isnt that ridiculous to ask a customer of a new phone to do so?). I went to the repair center with a hope that they will replace it for me but all in vain. They also gave me a ridiculous answer that Nokia does not have a replacement policy...and I was like so is it Nokia's policy to sell broken and faulty mobiles? I was utterly dejected. The electronic store where I bought also refuse to replace because they think there is a problem and no matter I get it changed it will recur. I still do not have a solution as all my ways of getting this problem resolved are exhausted. Anyone has a solution or came across this issue which can be solved without repairing?

Ok let me state my problem. There is a date display and at midnight the date should automatically change to the next date. However that does not happen. The dealer makes the following changes Control Panel>Settings>General>Date and time> Automatic time update> On and this does not solve the problem. Then I get the mobile replaced and that too has the same problem. after going through all permutations and combinations the problem persists. To quote the email from the Contact center for Nokia in HK this was what was suggested
Menu→Ctrl. panel→Settings→General→Date and time→Time zone→please select Hong Kong→Automatic time update→please select Off
However, if the situation still occurred by following the above settings, please be advised to bring your Nokia E52 along with the valid sales invoice to one of our Hong Kong Nokia Care Centres for the handset checking since we do not have such arrangement of replacing a new phone to you.
Please help!!!

Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info". I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column. UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes. When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced. It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync.
I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

Values carry over when copying pages!

Hello,
Try as I might, I cannot figure out how to copy a blank page or create a duplicate page in a document without having the values that I type into fields in one page carry over to the copied pages.
Basically, I have a document with multiple pages. One of those pages, I need to have copied about 5 times in order to fill out different information. However, when I type in the first one, it duplicates what I typed into all of the pages! How can I make them separate entities and just have a blank page? I cannot figure it out for the life of me...Please please help!

In Acrobat Forms, AcroForms, all text fields with the same name are treated as the same field. In order to copy a page is through the use of templates that rename the field on spawning. But if the fields in the template already contain data, that data will be copied. The creation of templates can be done through the menu of Acrobat Professional or by using JavaScript, but the spawning of templates can only be done through JavaScript.

How to make inline format command carry over to subsequent pages

Using Designer 5.7. Using inline formatting in the data file (\b. \b0.) to make part of the text bold (Example: bold text bold text regular text). The problem occurs when the end of page is reached. The text flows to the next page and if the text is split across pages after the bold command was turned on but before it is turned off, the text at the top of the new page is not formatted.
Example of Bottom of Page 1: This is an example of the text at the bottom of page one. This text is supposed to be
Example of Top of Page 2: all bold but the end of page commands cause the bold command to be "forgotten".
Using 1 line subform and an identical overflow subform formatted to reserve space and a Switchpage override in in the Preamble.
It's not feasible to use a field formatted for bold and also be able to determine when it should be used during document generation since the text may be variable in length. Any information is appreciated.

For the time being, I can only respond to Pages for iOS. OS X I'll need to check when I get home (or perhaps someone else will beat me to it). You may wish to post in the Pages for Mac forum for better exposure.
In Pages for iOS you are limited to a single header and footer. There is no Section structure so no way to do different headers/Footers for different pages (as you can do in MS word for example). To modify the Header and insert the text you want: Tap the Tools icon (wrench in upper right), then Document Set up. Tap in the header field, then tap and hold to use the menu to insert pages numbers, then type the text you need.
Quite possibly. Check the app store. Or you may be able to set this up in Pages for OS X and import it into Pages on the iPad. I'm not certain the sections will import however.
Also consider using a different app, such as word for iOS or any of the numerous other word processing apps available.

Report item value carried over to Form page

Hi all
I have a dynamic LOV (form a table) on a report. To redirect to a new entry page, I want the selected LOV column (consultants name) to show as a default in the Dynamic LOV of the new page. The reason for the dynamic LOV on the new page is so that the name of the consultant will most likely be the same, but the option will be given for the user to change the consultants name on the new entry page.
cheers
Ian

Ian,
You can pass parameters from one page to another.
Create a branch to go to the second page and register the link-details.

Terms and conditions in a new page in PO pdf

Hi,
I have set the profile values for PO:Terms and conditions and PO:In file path to my text file. I was expecting the terms in a new page but it was showing it after the Line information in the last page instead of starting a new page. Any idea on how to insert a page break in XSL-FO style sheet? the comment says the text file is displayed in new page,,,

<xsl:if test="TEXT_FILE !='' ">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="form_data">
<xsl:value-of select="TEXT_FILE"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:if>
<fo:block id="last-page" >
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
but it is continuing in the same page instead starting new page. Any suggestions on how to make the text file display in new page? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Yes, I did. I had to insert a page break for this. Here is how I have done this
<fo:block break-before="page" >
</fo:block>
Thanks,

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

Can items from a list be copied and pasted into a new Pages Table?

In iWork Pages, I have a list of 50's & 60's recording artists and their songs, (which is about 40 pages long) from my '45 rpm record collection for my Jukebox.
Is there any way to copy and paste the artists' names, and their songs into a Pages Table, so that I can sort the artists' names into an alphabetical list?
If there is a way, it would save me a ton of work of typing each name into a Table one at a time.
Thank you,
Jim

Recently, I have had documents of lists that I had wanted to put into a Table afterwards, but there was no way that I could do it.... which brought me to my question to the Forum.....
I had made the artists' listing & songs of about 40 pages, about 7 years ago when I had a PC, and it was done in MS Word, and I haven't worked on it since then.
Being a veritable Newbie at the time, I had put the artists' name in one column, and the song title in another. When I had to insert a new artist and song, I would "Add Row Below" and then type the info in.
Little did I realize at the time that I had created a Table, without knowing it (I told you that I was a Newbie).
So when I started to work on those files this morning for the first time in a number of years, I wondered how could I put all the info from that Word document into a Table in Pages.
Then I could sort Ascending, instead of "Add Row Below" to squeeze the new name in when I wanted to add another artist.
Then I realized after posting the question on this Forum, that it ALREADY WAS in Table form.
I looked into the help section of Pages and found that I could sort the names in the Inspector Box in the Table Tab.
So, sorry to say I didn't discover a new technique of copying a list and then pasting the info into a new Table in one shot......
Sincerely sorry for the false alarm...
Jim
