File name from text field value

Is it possible to save a file with the value of a Text field?
Thank you

Well JSP is server side code and TextBoxes are html which is client side script. To get the value of an html Textbox you either can use Javascript and do it all client side or you can post your form to a JSP or servlet and use request.getParameter("field_name"); to get the value of the form field.
make sense?

File name into text field

Is there a way to display the forms file name, into a text field?
Example: The form's file name is "MyForm.1.01.pdf"
I would like to display "MyForm.1.01" in a text field on the form.
If my form is saved and goes up a revision to say "MyForm.1.02"
"MyForm.1.02" is then displayed in the text field.
I was thinking, this could be on the pre open event, so that when the form is saved, it would display the new revision when the form is next opened?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following will get the file name:
this.rawValue = event.target.documentFileName;
I would put this in the docReady event, as this event fires only once, when the form opens.
There is a sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=ZnxO-dlXXFDS0GvYcQk2NQ
Hope that helps,

How to strip text formatting from text field value ??

Hi everyone,
Have tried to get some info on this but no luck.... I've
created a simple contact form in Flash, but the URL which it's
generating contains the text formatting from the text input fields.
As a result the script that processes the mail send doesn't work.
How do I strip the text formatting out of text1, text2 and text3
before I use getURL() ??
on (release) {
url_var =
"your_name="+text1+"&your_e-mail="+text2+"&message="+text3;
getURL("contact.php?"+url_var, "_blank", "GET");
text1 = "";
text2 = "";
text3 = "";
}

text1.text = "";
text2.text = "";
text3.text = "";
…that should strip the textfields. You probably also
want to add this property (text) in the getURL()

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

Flat file name from Sender Side Dynamically into subject of Receiver Mail

Hi All,
         I am Using a file to Mail Scenario, My requirement is to get dynamically the file name from flat file of the Sender Side into Subject of Receiver Mail Adapter and attachment of file from the Sender Side. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi....
          You can write udf in the message mapping to get the Dynamic file name and map that to the subject of the receiver mail.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(
          StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
      // read value
      String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);

I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:

File name from an attribute of an element of the payload

Dear Experts,
Could you suggest the syntax for specifying the file name from a variable in the file receiver communication channel? I need to grab the file name from an ATTRIBUTE of an element of the payload.
Thanks a lot.
Example: Need to pass the attribute "descReceipt" of the element "promotionEvent" to the variable in the following payload:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<promotionExport>
<promotionEvent eventIdentifier="30" status="A" descReceipt="FILE1">

The scenario is IDOC to FILE. I need to get the value of the receiving partner.
The message header has the node "DynamicConfiguration". Please see the xml below. I need to grab the key RCVPRN (0000002104) from this and pass as the file name in the receiver file adapter.
How do I setup my receiver file adapter for this? I tried changing the values for the variable, and also enabling the adapter specific message attributes. No solution yet.

Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
From Windows to Mac?
We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
---Timothy

The problem looks like this:
1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
3. We log into the server from Windows.
4. We try to pull his data from the server.
During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list? I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method. I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list. Is this correct? Thank you!
This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list. However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file. It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

How to get the target file name from an URL?

Hi there,
I am trying to download data from an URL and save the content in a file that have the same name as the file on the server. In some way, what I want to do is pretty similar to what you can do when you do a right click on a link in Internet Explorer (or any other web browser) and choose "save target as".
If the URL is a direct link to the file (for example: http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg ), I do not have any problem:
URL url = new URL("http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg");
System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
// Copy resource to local file
InputStream is = url.openStream();
FileOutputStream fos=null;
String fileName = null;
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                fileName=st.nextToken();
System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
try {
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int i = 0;
    while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
        fos.write(buf, 0, i);
} catch (Throwable e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if (is != null)
        is.close();
    if (fos != null)
        fos.close();
}Everything is fine, the file name I get is "e8_java_logo_red.jpg", which is what I expect to get.
However, if the URL is an indirect link to the file (for example: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719 , which link to a file named JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe ), the similar code return AutoDL?BundleId=37719 as file name, when I would like to have JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe .
URL url = new URL("http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719");
System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
// Copy resource to local file
InputStream is = url.openStream();
FileOutputStream fos=null;
String fileName = null;
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                fileName=st.nextToken();
System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
try {
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int i = 0;
    while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
        fos.write(buf, 0, i);
} catch (Throwable e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if (is != null)
        is.close();
    if (fos != null)
        fos.close();
}Do you know how I can do that.
Thanks for your help
