Extract data from the fields in Acrobat Reader 7.0 using VB

I am looking for a way to extract fields values from the pdf file using VBA for Excel. I have Acrobat Reader 7.0. I have a script that would extract fields values from the PDF using Aformaut.fields.... But this script only works with Acrobat.Standard or PRO. When I am trying to instantiate/create Aformaut.app object I am getting an error message stating that ActiveX cannot create such object. Please advise.

Five months have passed, so it's unlikely this reply will help the
original poster. But should anyone be searching the archives, here's a
reply anyway.
Aformaut.app is part of Acrobat Professional. You have to buy that,
you can't script this in the free Adobe Reader.

How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
Sam

Hi
You can create view in tcode se11..
here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
you need to give selection condition here
eg..
say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
(note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

Looking for SAP solution to extract data from the production system

Hello,
we are looking for the SAP standard tool to extract data from the production system and copy it to the development system. It should be as functional as some kind of partial client copy. The data, which we need to replicate is master and transactional data from FI, CO, AA MM and nice to have FS-RI modules. There is a product offered by the IntelliCorp called "Data Management" but we would like to know if SAP offers its own product.
Kind regards,
Krzysztof Murkowski

Hi,
SAP offers a solution called 'Test Data migration Server' or TDMS.
You can access the master guide from the below link:

Extracting data from a field

Hi,
I have a comment field with manay information on it. One record will have text and date and numbers to it. I would like to pull the codes from 1001, 1002 up to 1012 from the field. Example comment:
1. 1005 9-30-09 update only
2. EDC 1008 9-15-09 changes
I would like to extract the data 1005 and add in a separate column or create a new field for Code. The second example, I would like to get the data 1008. The date that follows the number 1005 in example 1, I also would like to put in another field called Received Date except for codes 1001 - 1004.
Can you please give me suggestions on how to handle this? I am using Crystal 10.
Thank you!

Marinette,
Try this:
left(right(split({field},'-')[1],5),4)
I hope that helps,

Monitoring using a Dashboard - How do you extract data from different fields?

I have a situation where a Dashboard needs to be made to monitor the state of different SAP systems.
Within individual Systems I know its easy to monitor the systems using CCMS (rz20), but my question is, How do you get to pull out the data that is displaying on the CCMS screen so that it could be taken and displayed on a dashboard. A dashboard could be a JAVA program that displays data from various such fields and displays maybe on a TV screen.
What I found so far was,
in rz20
Click on Performance Overview.
click on CPU Utilization
So, I place my mouse pointer on Value '2' for User CPU Utilization and hit F1 and then click on Technical Details
Now even if I place my mouse pointer on Value '1'' for User CPU Utilization and hit F1 and then click on Technical Details I get the same screen as above.
So, My question is, How do we determine what data sits in what field?
The aim again is to read these data and populate an external Dashboard.
The current Systems are not connected to SolMan as we do not have a SolMan setup yet. I am just trying to make a Dashboard using the existing CCMS tool.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bevin

Hello Bevin,
There are other transactions : ST06N/OS07N to check performance data, see note:
#371023 - OS07/ST06: Monitoring operating system data
#1084019 - OS07N: New operating system monitor
All CCMS agents can copy data from the SAPOSCOL shared memory segment to the CCMS monitoring segment and transfer it to a central
monitoring system. This means that the data is visible in the CCMS monitoring architecture and is displayed both in the familiar transactions ST06
and OS07 and in the Alert Monitor (transaction RZ20)
Operating System Collector SAPOSCOL:

Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX). I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
Please help.
Thanks in advace.

The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type?
Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian. If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM. If
that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

How to extract data from xml field to dropdown list?

Hi,
I have designed a form and connected to a SQL server database using a web service. The XML data retrieved from wsdl connection is currently hold in a text field called 'XMLfield'. I need to extract the data such as 'PersonnelName' from XMLfield into a dropdown list. I used the following code and I do not get any error, but nothing come up and all my fields in the forms become bank when i click the dropdown list.
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with this issue.
form1.DropDownList::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(form1.XMLfield.rawValue,0,1);
form1.XMLfield.rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.saveXML();
var dataGroup = xfa.resolveNode("xfa.data.Timesheet.Personnel.PersonnelName");
var dataGroupLength = dataGroup.nodes.length;
if (dataGroupLength == 0) {
xfa.host.messageBox("There are no parts in the XML doc");
else {
for (var i=0; i < dataGroupLength; i++){
this.addItem(dataGroup.nodes.item(i).nodes.item(0).value);
Thanks,
Roya

Hi Roya,
I think the loadXML will override your form data, so blanking out your fields. You could try loading the xml data at the xfa.datasets level (that is xfa.datasets.loadXML(form1.XMLfield.rawValue,0,1);) or using E4X to process the XML.
Another option though might be more rework is to use the Acrobat SOAP api which will return you a JavaScript object so you wont have to do any XML work.
There's a good intro to the SOAP api here, http://www.avoka.com/blog/page/11/.

Extracting data from XMLType field

Sorry, I don't know XMLQuery very well, this is probably a simple question. I'm trying to extract data into a tablular form from an XMLTYPE field. I'll use the following example to illustrate my question:
WITH a as (
select xmltype('
<bugStatus>
<status>
    <bugCode>111</bugCode>
    <bug number="12345" description="Low severity bug"/>
</status>
<status>
    <bugCode>222</bugCode>
    <bug number="67890" description="High severity bug"/>
</status>
</bugStatus>
') xmldata from dual)
SELECT x.*
FROM a, xmltable('bugStatus/status'
   passing a.xmldata columns
   status_code number path 'bugCode'
) x;
Running that code block extracts the "bugCode" fields successfully. But I'd like to also similarly extract the "bug number" and "description" fields. Ideally as independent columns. But even if only as a single line showing "bug number=.... description=....." I could then still parse it with SQL.
Can someone please point me in the right direction of how I can also extract that additional data?
Thanks!

Thanks Marco, that was a great and simple solution to my original question.
However let me change the data slightly. I've tried to do something similar with this slightly modified XML data and I think I'm close, but not quite there. Can you assist with this new scenario?
WITH a as (
select xmltype('
<bugStatus>
   <bugCode REF_ID="XYZ">
      <status>
          <bug number="12345" description="Low severity bug"/>
          <bug number="67890" description="High severity bug"/>
      </status>
   </bugCode>
</bugStatus>
') xmldata from dual)
SELECT /*x.bugCode,*/ y.bugNumber, y.bugDescription
FROM a,
     xmltable('/bugStatus'
        PASSING a.xmldata
        COLUMNS
           bugCode char(3) path 'bugCode/@REF_ID',
           mystatus xmltype path 'bugCode/status'
     ) x,
     xmltable('/status'
        PASSING x.mystatus
        COLUMNS
           --row_number for ordinality,
           bugNumber number path 'bug/@number',
           bugDescription varchar2(80) path 'bug/@description'
     ) y;
I think I'm close on this one but still getting the error:
ORA-19279: XPTY0004 - XQuery dynamic type mismatch: expected singleton sequence - got multi-item sequence
Thank you!

Hi Navin,
go to SPROXY, flag structure and search for your table definition. You will find a table definition a field "line" or something, where you find the right structure. Create a new structure with DATA: myStructure type tableStructure. Define a second structure type with your Ztable. Next Loop at internal table into the structure. Inside that loop fill the Zstructure. Insert the Zstrucure (Press F1 on insert to have the syntax you need)
loop at internalTable into intStructure.
zstructure-myField = intStructure-myField.
INSERT ztable FROM zstructure.
endloop.

Any way to extract data from the "Organizer" database?

I asked a similar question in the Lightroom forum but I'm asking it here as well. I'm thinking of either getting Lightroom or Elements but my only concern is being able to access to all of the meta-data that I tag my photos with in the "Organizer". Most likely I'll spend hours organizing my photos and I want to be able to access this data from outside the organizer for read-only purposes.
I realize that from inside of orgainizer all of this is available to me but I want to be able to use other tools and apps (that I'll write myself when needed) to get access to my photo catalogs.
Does Adobe have any sort of API or library that 3rd party apps can use to access the data in Organizer? I searched the Adobe web-site but didn't find anything. Ideally I could run a SQL query against the database to get what I want.

This idea intrigued me, so a did a Google search on "extract photo metadata", which resulted in some interesting links.
You might want to investigate some of these further.
One which looked quite interesting along the lines of the read/write of metadata can be found here:

On my SmarterMail email system, every time I hit "reply" to draft a response to a message, Firefox has begun displaying a mass of HTML data from the original message, making it impossible to use, rather than just the simple text as previously.

I've been using this web-based email system for many years. Up until last week, every time I wanted to reply to a message, I simply clicked reply, and got a new message draft, with all the previous exchanges neatly tacked on the bottom in reverse chronological order. Now what happens is that I get a mass of HTML gobbledygook, which makes it very difficult to make out what the previous message said. This only affects the "view"ing of the new draft as when I send it, it comes out clean to the recipient. And it only affects my main desktop computer. (Windows XP).

Hi,
I have my Contact Testers page which has this HTML
(opening tag here) a href="aim:goim?screenname=ralphjohnsr&message= Hi+!,+I+came+from+your+website,+ralphjohnsuk." (closing tag here) (opening tag here) img align="right" alt="Webmaster iChat Online Status Indicator" border="0" src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/ralphjohnsr?on_url=http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk//images/ RalphOn.gif& off_url=http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk//images/RalphOff.gif" /(closing tag here)(oen tag)/a(close tag)
I have added some linebreaks to make it fit the page here.
This is obviously done using a valid AIM login name and the a href ="aim:goim? will launch an AIM Client and Message me.
As you say you would create a New Apple ID then this would be iCloud and an AIM valid Name (keeping the Password to 16 characters or less).
I am not aware of an iMessage equivalent that would do this to a Phone or iPad or to the Messages Beta as an iMessage.
To be clear.
What this HTML does is launch an AIM client (App) on the computer or the person viewing my page and then start a chat with the IM included in the HTML.
To do that it queries the AIM servers as to whether I am On line or Line and show a pic relevant to that status. (it does not stop Off Line IMs but I am set up for that. It also does not say if I am Available or Away.)
Edit to get html to show (not sure how to work this Raw code thing which dispalyed in the Reply wysiwyg screen.

Transfer the response data from response field of a webservice.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Consuming the webservice in the Adobe Form,
My requirement is like i have to populate different set of fields from the responses i get from the webservice, based on the click of different buttons.
Say i have to populate Fields f1 & f2, if Button B1 is pressed, and f3 & f4 if Button B2 is pressed.
Hope i have made my requirement till now.
Now i have written the script to shift the data from the fields generated from WebService to the fields where i actually require the data i.e. f1 & f2 in the above case at teh "validate" event of the response fields from webservice.
but it always gives me some popup stating this field's validate failed, which should not be there.
So, any help from you that give me a solution that shifts the data immediately on the population of response fields wihout a popup, would be helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amita

Hi,
Consider that you have three fields "f1", "f2", "f3" and want to populate the data in the fields "f2" and "f3" based on the value entered in the field "f1" through webservice.
So write the JavaScript Coding in the "Change" Event of the field "f1" for eg.
     var cURL = 'http://webservice';
     var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
     xfa.connectionSet.DataConnectionName.execute(0);
and there itself after the above script write the other validations for fields "f2" and "f3" and populate the values to the respective fields.
For Binding to the respective fields: go to the field object pallete and in binding tab define the binding of webservice in the "Import/Export" binding at the Last.
And if you want to do any validations for the fields "f2" and "f3" then define two more fields like "hiddenf2" and "hiddenf3" and do make the presence of these fields to hidden and do specify the binding of webservice and after the JavaScript WebService call populate do the required validations and after that populate the values to the respective fields.
