Field codes in Word document

Hi,
This issue keeps occuring when I generate a printed document
from RoboHelp.
I am not choosing the Word template in the final setting
page, but just letting robohelp use the css template.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this & how to
resolve it?
many thanks

If I understand your issue correctly, you're seeing paragraph
marks, space marks, and fields in the final Word document. If so,
click the
Show/Hide button in Word to turn this feature off. When you
next generate your Help file, it'll look just fine from the get-go
(I hope).

Automatically creating fields when distilling Word document

I have a large number of Word documents that are periodically published in pdf format. These documents contain several fields requiring user input. Is there a way I can tell Acrobat to automatically convert a Word field into a pdf field? Using the form wizard doesn't work for me as there are far too many potential fields and removing those is quite tedious. Some of these documents are updated and published on a regular basis, and inserting all the necessary fields is taking too much time. My only other option at this point is going back to Word forms, and I really would rather not...

If the form wizard doesn't work as well as you'd like, the other option would be to make your revisions to the Word document, create a new PDF, open the old one and use "document>Replace pages. This will replace the background pages and leave the existing form fields intact. You will of course have to move them around if they're position in the updated content has changed but it's still easier than replacing all of them every time you update a document.

How load from MS Word document data to Oracle?

Hello,
if anybody have any idea of how to load data from microsoft word document data field by field to oracle database, instead of doing through the mailmerge. we have word documents which will have descriptions, titles, financial data for different years say for example from 1 to 10 years data in this case how can i load directly from document to oracle database? I appreciate your inputs.
Thanks so much....

Hi,
Although I use client_ole2 from the webutil package to go the other way i.e load oracle data into a word document, im sure there will be a client_ole2.get_* command to get the value of a field code from a document.

Can I prepopulate a Word document or PDF?

This application is for a home health agency. There is an
extensive form that needs to be filled out periodically called a
CMS-485. There are tons of fields and lots of formatting to the
document. I currently have the document in Word format.
We maintain participant information in a database. I would
like to prepopulate SOME of the fields in the Word document with
information from my database. Namely things like name and address.
date of birth, SSN, etc. Basic demographics that are readilly
available in my database.
I can generate the form from my website in any format,
really. PDF would be fine. Word would be fine. My objective is to
go to a client's information screen in my application (already
done) and click a button to generate a blank CMS-485 that is
prepopulated with the basic demographic inorimation.
I know that I can create an HTML or report builder version of
the report, but that would be absolutely daunting given the
complexity of this form. Since it is already in Word format, can I
leverage the work that has already been done and make this easier
on myself?
BTW: CF 7.02

just answered this in another thread.....
this works w/the version of iText that comes w/cf7 (powers
cfdocument).
<cfscript>
newFile=expandPath("registered.pdf");
// pdf containing your form
pdfFile=expandPath("simpleRegistrationForm.pdf");
fos=createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(newFile);
reader=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(pdfFile);
pdfStamper=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(reader,
fos);
form1 = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
// form fields
form1.setField("name", "Bruno Lowagie");
form1.setField("address", "Baeyensstraat 121,
Sint-Amandsberg");
form1.setField("postal_code", "BE-9040");
form1.setField("email", "[email protected]");
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(false);
pdfStamper.close();
// in case you to "flatten" the form
newFile=expandPath("registered_flat.pdf");
fos=createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(newFile);
reader=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(pdfFile);
pdfStamper2=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(reader,

Can a change be made to the original Word document without losing form fields in a saved PDF form?

I have a new fillable form created with Acrobat 9 that has 10 pages of fields on it. I noticed a typo in the original Word doc I created the form from and wondered if there is anyway to make changes in the source document without having to recreate all fields again.
Thanks!
Frank

Yes, just create a new PDF and replace the pages of the old one that has the form fields with the pages from the new: Document > Replace Pages
Any fields, code, bookmarks, links, etc. will be retained.

Word 2010 Field Code makes page header disappear

Hi,
I am working on converting some word 2003 documents to Word 2010, but we found that the behavior of field code seems different in word 2010. We use field codes in a page to embed postscript command such that printer can pick up a correct paper tray. The
command is like this:
PRINT \p page "grestore matrix currentmatrix <</MediaType (NORM) /MediaColor (white)>>setpagedevice setmatrix gsave" \* MERGEFORMAT
But I found that when there is a field code on the top of a page and the page has header defined on it, the header will not be printed out, just like the field code "kick out" the header. I try the word advance option "Print PostScrit over
text" but it does not work, If use this option, the field code seems occupy one row and the entire content will roll over more than 1 page.
Does any professional encounter this problem? Any solution can be shared with me?
Many thanks for your advice,
Ray

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically.

Update automatically under which circumstances, exactly?

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", but I can copy text into Word document & printer works.

I am unable to print anything from an internet web page. I continually get "printer not activated, error code- 30" followed by "An unknown error occurred while printing". I can copy the material from the web page, place into a Word document and then print. This just started yesterday and I have no idea why. Would appreciate your advice!

Is there a way to shift fields down or remodify document in Word without losing form fields?

I have a document that I created from Word and added in forms and fields in Acrobat. I now need to shift some fields down to make more space on the page and also adjust widths on some tables. Is there a way to do this easily in Acrobat? If not, is it possible to some how go back into Word (with some sort of link) and make these changes without losing all my fields/formulas/etc.?
I am not using Forms Central because I have calculations in my form.
Thank you in advance!

I am having trouble finding (Document -> Replace Pages). I did find Layers in Navigation but I do not see any. Do I not have any layers in my PDF? I opened a Word Document in Adobe Acrobat Pro and proceeded to add my fields and formulas in the document. Shouldn't this automatically create a layer ontop of the content? Sorry for all the questions, I am pretty new with Acrobat Pro.
Thanks!

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Inserting Picture (from Web- through Webdav) to Word document using VSTO code

Hi,
I have been trying to insert an image/picture to current selection in word. with help of code -
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.InlineShape s = this.Application.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(
@"http://127.0.0.1:9001/test/myimage.png", true, true, Type.Missing);
This code works fine if image is on desktop or network shared location but some issues for URL exposed through Webdav.
On inserting the picture word shows - "The linked image cannot be displayed....." message. If we close and open word document again then image appears properly.
Some observations:
1. If we use same option through Ribbon "Insert -> Picture -> Enter path and click on "Link to File" then we get Prompt for Wevdav password (Only once, later Word caches it) and linked images appear properly.
2. Updating the shape explicitly wouldnt help.
s.LinkFormat.Update();
What we are looking for is, Does Ribbon "Insert" functionality do something additional to prompt Webdav authentication to cache? if we want to achieve the same? what needs to be invoked before we make call to AddPicture API?
Thanks
H

Thanks for the response..
No, when document is opened again, then you dont need to enter the password.
Somehow on document open event MS word knows how to retreive password from cookie for given domain.
When you insert the image using ribbon -> insert picture option,
MS Word first looks into cache if the domain cokkie already available then bypass authentication/password prompt
Otherwise it would show the prompt and store the cookie in cache again.
The mystry is how MS-Word interacts with this "cached cookies"
while doing more reading on this, it seems MS Word has been using Klink.dll for this kind of functionality https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/899927 but it would be great if you can provide more pointers.
>>Could you share an image link of Webdav?
Since, it's my local webdav server, you would not be able to access the image link, may be you can upload an image to sharepoint (as sharepoint also supports webdav) and use that for reproducing this problem at your end.
Thanks
H

Importing word documents - data fields

Hi..
When trying to import a word document with bookmarks and datafields the bookmarks came correctly but the data fields did not.
the data fields were created in the word document using an executable file where the fileds in the excel sheet were picked up and filled to the word document. (the descriptions in the relevent fields table in the attached document) when they are imported to robohelp the bookmarks are missing. let me know how i should correct it.

I'm not surprised about the data fields. That data isn't actually in the Word document, only a reference, so there isn't anything to import to RH. This can't be fixed from RoboHelp; the answer (if there is one) lies in Word, or possibly the executable that gets the data from Excel.
If you find an answer, please post it - I am having a similar Word problem. I am trying to convert cross-references to regular text - a little bit like "Paste Special > Values" converts formulas to their resulting values in Excel.

Forced open word document when value for merged field required in document is blank

Is there any way that I can make a word 2010 document open? The word document contains fields which are linked to a window form fields which have values input by users which then are saved to the database and also merged into the document's fields. In other
word, when the controls (per example a textbox) in the windows form have no value input into them, the word document will not open.
Thank you in advance

Hello Amy12,
Your requirement is still not so clear to me. So I assume you just want to load a Word Document inside WinForm application:
You can refer this article
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3582/Word-Control-for-NET
By the way, webbrowser control can also help you open a word document, see MSDN article here:
