Embed webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
We have NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
I would give best points to you !!
Thanks in advance

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

We were using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 for creating forms, what is new product replacement?

We were using Adobe Livecycle designer 7.0 (circa 2004) for creating our own dynamic forms. The program has since failed to work, we cant locate the old disk. What is the new product replacement that will allow us to build new forms from scratch with our own fields and data collection?

LiveCycle Designer no longer comes with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro, but it can be purchased separately (soon): http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/tools/designer.html

Trouble connecting to https secure web service using Adobe Livecycle Designer

I am attempting to use Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 to create a data connection in a Form to a secure (https) web service and I'm having some difficulty.
I'm new to Livecycle and have tried searching online for an answer, but the help isn't very clear and the only tutorials online that I can find are ones that connect to non-https services.
The WSDL I'm trying to connect to is: https://uk.ws.ondemand.qas.com/ProOnDemand/V3/ProOnDemandService.asmx?WSDL
My questions are:
Q1. Does Adobe Livecycle support https web service connections? The following link suggests that this isn't possible: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yOOcM3Bn4BAC&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=secure+web+service+w ith+adobe+livecycle&source=bl&ots=jm1GIZflOJ&sig=uLfv5Xda4eXXJl5o_7vBViwU-w0&hl=en&sa=X&ei =WLvIT5P4OujW0QWmv7nDAQ&ved=0CI4BEOgBMAk#v=onepage&q=secure%20web%20service%20with%20adobe %20livecycle&f=false
Q2. I've managed to consume the WSDL but can only see the body of the XML request for a particular SOAP action. Where can I add the username/password credentials? I've selected "Requires Message-Level Authentication" during the new connection wizard, but it doesn't prompt me at all for these details.

Hi,
I tried using SOAP.Connect too..
But I am facing the same problem.
Any solution found yet?

Extension fields in forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and SAP Cloud Application Studio.

Hello everyone,
I am new to using SAP Cloud Application Studio and am currently working on forms.
I have created some extension fields in the dunning letter form message type : FormDunning Notification.
Upon activating, the extension fields do show up in backend form data type structure.
However i am unable to find the fields in the front end form under Form Template Maintenance.
I have tried opening form with open editor as well as downloading template and opening in Adobe LiveCycle Designer .
After creating the data connection in adobe ,the first field (ProjNumDun ) do appear in correct place in data view.But i cant find the rest of the fields.
Any help,guidance and suggestion will be really appriciated.
Thanking in advance,

optimizePDF
public OptimizePDFResult optimizePDF(Document inputDocument, String fileTypeSettings, Document inSettingsDoc) throws ConversionException, InvalidParameterException, FileFormatNotSupportedException
Optimizes the input PDF document by reducing its size. This method also converts the PDF document to the PDF version specified in the optimization parameters. This method supports the same optimization settings as Adobe Acrobat.
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized. For this object, it is recommended that you either use the appropriate Document constructor if you have access to the file, or that you use the com.adobe.idp.Document.setAttribute() method if you only have access to the stream.
fileTypeSettings - Name of a file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server. The LiveCycle Administration Console window for Generate PDF lets you view the currently defined file type settings. It also lets you create custom file type settings. If the inSettingsDoc parameter specifies a non-NULL value, this parameter is ignored. If this parameter and the inSettingsDoc parameter are both null, this method uses the default file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
inSettingsDoc - file2pdf-settings XML file that contains file type settings to use for optimization, including the file type settings used by this method. For information about this file, see the description for the createPDF2() method.
Returns:
An object that exposes a method for getting the optimized PDF document.
Throws:
ConversionException
InvalidParameterException

Generate or Preview XML when Extending Reader Options using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
I am trying to view the generated xml when reader options are extended. However, when I try to open the reader extended PDF in LiveCycle Designer, it says you will lose reader options. Is there any other way in which I can compare the generated XML before and after extending reader options?
I am having issues processing PDF after extending reader options as the generated xml is generating the following error.
"XmlException was unhandled by user code, Data at the root level is invalid. Line1, position1"

May be you can try this way to get the XML before and after the Reader extensions.
1) Place a Text field with multi line allowed.
2) Place a button on the form with the following in click event.
TextField1.rawValue = xfa.data.saveXML("pretty");
3) Open the form in either Reader/ Acrobat and click on the Button. Save the XML data in a file that was assigned to the TextField.
4) Reader extend the form.
5) Repeat the step 3 again to capture the XML from the form after Reader Extensions.
This way you can get the XML from the form before and after.
Thanks

Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and secure parts of form using signatures.

Hi to all ...
I have upgraded to new LiveCycle Desinger 8.1 few days ago, and still do not know all the new features.
I was requested to develop new LiveCycle Form, but this time it has to be secured by Digital Signatures or what every appropriate method.
The form has exactly 2 sections and 2 Digital Signatures:
1. The first section/part is to be filled by the Staff (let us call him the Authoring Staff).
Any one can fill the first part.
After the first part is signed, the Data Entry on the first part should be locked, and no one on Earth should be able to change the data on the first part. Only the signer of the first part is allowed to update/clear the signature but only and only of the Second part is not yet signed.
The staff should not be allowed to sign the form unless all mandatory fields and other validation logic is statisfied.
Only the Signer of the Form and special authorized staff/group of staff will be allowed to open the form. Let us call them Group01.
2. The second section/part is to be filled by special authorized staff/group (say Group02), they are basicall HR Staff (this is a secret).
The second part can only be filled if the first part is filled and signed by the Authoring Staff.
The second part can be signed only if the validation logic on the second part is true (no errors, and all mandatory fields are filled).
Once the second part is signed, the first part the the second part should be locked, and no one on earth should be able to change anything on the form.
Only the signer of the form should be able to clear the signature of the 2nd part and make any changes requried.
If the 2nd part is signed, the Authoring Staff should not be able to change anything on the form.
*****End of Requirements.*****
I have just started, and I am requested to desing the form and implement the required security in 10 days only.
Can any one please help me ?
I am doing my research now.
Thank you.
Tarek.

Dear Dfoto,
Thank you so much for being so kind to spend the effort and reply back, I though my question was left behind the sun... but now I am very happy in deed.
To be more specific, the Form has 2 parts. The first part "Subform1" any one can fill and sign.
The second part "Subform2", only certain users can fill and sign.
I think I found a very strong lead to my solution, when I was playing with LiveCycle Desinger few days ago.
On the Singature Field Advanced Setting, there is a place you can attach the public part of a certificate (Digital Signature) of any user, one or more.
In this part, you tell LC that only those users "signing parties" can sign the field. I tested it and it worked.
Now, if I can use this feature via JavaScript to find out if the user who is filling the form, can sign this field, then he can fill the form. If he cannot sign the field, then he cannot fill the form. I can do that by setting the "access" property of the Subform. Another solution is that I can prevent the user from hitting the "Submit" button unless he signes the designated Signature Field.
I have another small issue:
I found out that if the Signature field is part of a repeating dynamic Subform, it will not work during run-time. Very bad in deed. While I cannot understand why ?, I tool this as "By Desing" feature.
Now, if the Signature is locking parts of forms which has dynamic content (repeating subforms), it will always show somthing like "Signature is corrupted or form was changed after it was signed".
Is this normal ? Is there a way to control Dynamic Forms using Digital Signatures without such annoying issues ?
Thank you.

Can I write XML PDF without Adobe LiveCycle ?

Hallo:-)
My firm have product to create blank /form/, which we save into our XML format. We want to "save as" forms into XML PDF format.
But only use XML not PDF into XDP format.
I read XML Forms Architecture (XFA)Specification Version 2.4 ...
Is there other resources and samples?
And Is it possible task?

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Are you asking whether Adobe Reader can open an XDP file and display it as a PDF even if there's no PDF packet in it? The short answer is no. You can convert an XDP to a PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. If you want to convert to PDF at run time you need a server product - Adobe LiveCycle Forms.

Creating PDF's - Cannot get Arial to work - only getting MyriadPro (Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10))

Hi
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10) to create PDF's from input XML.
I have had some trouble getting Arial fonts which are used in my LiveCycle Designer created XDP's to be produced in the resulting PDF using the java API or the Process Flow (watched folder) in Output ES. I have put Arial TTF fonts into both the Server Fonts and Customer Fonts folders and the Arial font still seems to be coming out as MyriadPro in the final PDF.
Is there something I am doing wrong ?
Regards
Robert.

Hello Jackson,
We got this working by adding the below fonts to the server-fonts directory on the jvm which you specify in the LCM when you configure the livecycle and bounced the jvm and thing to note down here is that we added our Windows system fonts which are "ttf" files and our jvm is on linux. You can give a shot and see if this works at your end also.
Fonts added:
ARIALN.TTF
ARIALNI.TTF
ARIALNB.TTF
ARIALNBI.TTF
ariali.ttf
arialbi.ttf
arialbd.ttf
arial.ttf
Thanks-
Karthik.
