Embedding xml into a pdf

I have a LiveCycle form that fills its dropdownlists from an xml file. It will be on a server, where the client can click a button on a webpage to download the pdf. The data in the xml file will change every now and then.
Is it possible to refresh/reload the data from the xml file only when the pdf is pushed to the client? Or only embed the file on the download? A LiveCycle server is not out of the question here.

Embedding Fonts into a PDF file - Best Solution/s

Good day
What is the best solution or solutions to Embedding Fonts into a PDF file?
Kind Regards

Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
--| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).
--| Untick "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog.

Embedding Fonts Into A PDF

Hi There,
I'm having trouble sending my files to the printers, my fonts is jumping...
How do i make sure that my fonts are embedded into my PDF file,
I'm using indesign cs5.5 Please can someone help me, I have distiller as well.
Thank You
Kind Regards

Can you check one of your problematic PDFs with Acrobat? Go to the Document Properties dialog and check the "Fonts" tab. That way you can verify if your fonts are embedded.
It's really straightforward: where Acrobat does *not* tell you a font is "(Embedded)" or "(Embedded subset)", that font is missing.
If you find you are creating files without embedding all fonts, you need to review your workflow. As I said above, you might have switched off InDesign's warnings for this.
Bear in mind it's also possible your PDFs are fine and it's your printer that needs to update.

Can I Package a SWF+XML into a PDF Container?

I've got a SWF that I've built in Flash Builder that reads an external, local XML file. I'd like to create an external process that effectively packages the \bin-release folder into a single PDF that would then play the animation which is reading the also packaged XML file. Ideally, I could have an external process that would modify the contents of the XML, package it up with the SWF into a PDF, and then export the final PDF output as a single file.
Effectively, I'm trying to mimic a feature found in our Business Intelligence software which does exactly what I'm describing (see the first bullet of page 4 of this document).
My plan is to have a separate source system generate the XML on demand, and then trigger whatever process needs to package it up with the static SWF and produce the final PDF output. I'm open to using anything, even if it's just calling some command line utility (I assumed Adobe had one but I can't find one).
This is different from printing to PDF, because the SWF will need to play inside the PDF. This ability was added in Acrobat 9.
Any ideas or leads would be helpful, thank you for your time.

Embedding Postscript into a pdf file

I've been looking for a while for a solution to a problem I have. I want to be able to embed postscript code into pdf file. Is it possible to do this within acrobat or even some other solution?
Thanks!

By "embed PostScript code", do you mean add a .ps file as an attachment?
You can do this with the Doc.importDataObject() method.

Extract embedded xml from PDF/A-3b (also creation)

Hello there,
in the context of a research project, we are currently trying to extract embedded xml from a PDF/A-3b document via code.
The project deals with establishing a new invoicing standard (Zugferd: ferd-net.de, only german). Invoices are expressed via xml, which is embedded in PDF/A.
What we are trying to archive is extraction of the xml via java code. For testing purposes, we are currently using an third party skd to extract the invoice-xml, by calling a .EXE file and then picking up the results in java.
I currently have only one valid example file that can be processed via this sdk. To get more data, i used the test version of acrobat pro to alter the embedded xml file. To be more specific, i deleted the embedded file, added a new xml file, and used preflight to make the PDF conform to /A-3b. Although the file seems to have the same properties as the original, it can no more be processed via the extraction sdk. Since messing around with acrobat does not seem to get me anywhere, i am now looking into extracting data from the pdf my self.
Is there any present implementation/library/solution for extracting data in a java context? The few third party tools i found are all based of a .net/windows native environment. I have heard rumors about Adobe giving out tools to extract embedded data from PDF/A?
How is it the other way around? Is it possible to embedd xml into a PDF via Java? Given there allready is PDF file which we can attach to.
I really appreciate reading and thanks for any help or input!
Greetings,
Florian

Hi Florian,
I would look for general purpose PDF libraries that can open a PDF and access data objects in it.
All in all it is not too difficult to get to the embedded XML, once you have a library that can access and read data structures/data objects inside a PDF file. Some understanding of the inner workings of PDF data structures will help you get the job done (e.g. read the section about embedded files in the PDF standard / ISO 32000-1, as well as the chapter about PDF syntax).

XMLAGG giving ORA-19011 when creating CDATA with large embedded XML

What I'm trying to achieve is to embed XML (XMLTYPE return type) inside a CDATA block. However, I'm receiving "ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small" when generating large amounts of information within the CDATA block using XMLCDATA within an XMLAGG function.
Allow me to give a step by step explanation through the thought process.
h4. Creating the inner XML element
For example, suppose I have the subquery below
select
    XMLELEMENT("InnerElement",DUMMY) as RESULT
from dual
;I would get the following.
RESULT
<InnerElement>X</InnerElement>h4. Creating outer XML element, embedding inner XML element in CDATA
Now, if I my desire were to embed XML inside a CDATA block, that's within another XML element, I can achieve it by doing so
select
    XMLELEMENT("OuterElement",
        XMLCDATA(XML_RESULT)
    ) XML_IN_CDATA_RESULT
FROM
(select
    XMLELEMENT("InnerElement",DUMMY) as XML_RESULT
from dual)
;This gets exactly what I want, embedding XML into CDATA block, and CDATA block is in an XML element.
XML_IN_CDATA_RESULT
<OuterElement><![CDATA[<InnerElement>X</InnerElement>]]></OuterElement>    So far so good. But the real-world dataset naturally isn't that tiny. We'd have more than one record. For reporting, I'd like to put all the <OuterElement> under a XML root.
h4. Now, I want to put that data in XML root element called <Root>, and aggregate all the <OuterElement> under it.
select
    XMLELEMENT("Root",
        XMLAGG(
            XMLELEMENT("OuterElement",
                XMLCDATA(INNER_XML_RESULT)
FROM
    (select
         XMLELEMENT("InnerElement",DUMMY) as INNER_XML_RESULT
     from dual)
;And to my excitement, I get what I want..
<Root>
    <OuterElement><![CDATA[<InnerElement>X</InnerElement>]]></OuterElement>
    <OuterElement><![CDATA[<InnerElement>Y</InnerElement>]]></OuterElement>
    <OuterElement><![CDATA[<InnerElement>Z</InnerElement>]]></OuterElement>
</Root> But... like the real world again... the content of <InnerElement> isn't always so small and simple.
h4. The problem comes when <InnerElement> contains lots and lots of data.
When attempting to generate large XML, XMLAGG complains the following:
ORA-19011: Character string buffer too smallThe challenge is to keep the XML formatting of <InnerElement> within CDATA. A particular testing tool I'm using parses XML out of a CDATA block. I'm hoping to use [Oracle] SQL to generate a test suite to be imported to the testing tool.
I would appreciate any help and insight I could receive, and hopefully overcome this roadblock.

That's an expected error.
XMLCDATA takes a string as input, but you're passing it an XMLType instance, therefore an implicit conversion occurs from XMLType to VARCHAR2 which is, as you know, limited to 4000 bytes.
This indeed gives an error :
SQL> select xmlelement("OuterElement", xmlcdata(inner_xml))
2 from (
3    select xmlelement("InnerElement", rpad(to_clob('X'),8000,'X')) as inner_xml
4    from dual
5 ) ;
ERROR:
ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small
no rows selectedThe solution is to serialize the XMLType to CLOB before passing it to XMLCDATA :
SQL> select xmlelement("OuterElement",
2           xmlcdata(xmlserialize(document inner_xml))
3         )
4 from (
5    select xmlelement("InnerElement", rpad(to_clob('X'),8000,'X')) as inner_xml
6    from dual
7 ) ;
XMLELEMENT("OUTERELEMENT",XMLCDATA(XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTINNER_XML)))
<OuterElement><![CDATA[<InnerElement>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(use getClobVal method if your version doesn't support XMLSerialize)

Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2). I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine. As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
Create a link using the Link tool
Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
Select one of the following link actions:
Go To A Page View
Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
Open A File
Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK.
Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
       Open A Web Page
                 Provide the URL of the destination web page.
       Custom Link
                 Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Embedding extended XMP metadata into a PDF file

Hello.
I am preparing a thesis for submission into our library repository. They keep some additional information about the paper in a separate XML file which looks like: http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/ethos-oai/2.0/uketd.xml
The metadata can be then easily harvested by other libraries etc.
Because the papers are downloadable and can freely circulate over the Internet I would like to also include the metadata into the PDF itself.
I've managed to extend the PDFX (MiKTeX) package such that it writes custom metadata in addition to the default fields (Author, Title, Subject, Keywords) into the PDF.
The problem is that the library metadata (see above) makes use of XSI schema which is apparently not compatible with RDF format of XMP.
Is there a way to get such rich metadata sets into a PDF file in a portable and accessible (thinking about search engines) way or should I stick with plain Simple Dublin Core?
Thanks for recommendations.

You may want to repost this in the XMP SDK forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/design_development/xmp_sdk

Embedding audio into indesign for playback in pdf

Hello, i'm trying to create a pdf book of educational lectures with audio of the transcribed lectures embedded into the pdf so the user can read and listen along as they like. my solution to this was break up the audio into sections and embed using buttons. this way, the user just has to mouseroll over a button in the margin to play the particular section they want to listen to. there are about three sections per page. the downside of this solution is that the audio doesn't keep playing of course, it just plays that section then stops. i'm now wondering if it might be possible to just have one audio file instead of 60, and make buttons (for each section) that open up the file at a particular point in the audio corresponding to the section; in other words (my question), is it possible to make a button that opens an audio file and plays it from a particular point, not just from the start? I would appreciate any suggestions.

no pardon necessary! i need to embed the audio file because it contains the original lecture, that's what I want the reader to have access to while reading the transcription, since the transcription is not meant to substitute for but rather supplement the audio. for example, in the transcribed text I have put "[...]" for segments of the recording that are inaudible. If I put the original audio into the file then the reader has the option of going to that specific section and listening to it themselves. basically i want to create a pdf document of a lecture. I want to be able to highlight important parts of the lecture, search the lecture for key-words, and scan it quickly for specific items of interest, but I also want easy access to the original audio because tone of voice isn't translatable into text (and the tone of voice in this case is important for meaning), and because there are many segments that I couldn't hear, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to link sections of the text to specific sections of the audio.

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form?

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form? Text (tab delimited) is not an option. I'm using Acrobat X Pro. Thank you in advance!

Hello George -- The form was not created by me, but appears to have originated in Acrobat. I also saved a copy with LiveCycle Designer to view/edit in design view. Unfortunlately both files had the same limited formats for import. Thanks, Julie
