Fill form Data from File

I have a one page pdf form that I created. I have the same fields in a excell spreadsheet. What I am needing to do is use the data in the spreadsheet and fill the pdf. The Final PDF document needs to be multiple pages of the same pdf each page filled with the data in each row of the pdf. ie. row one will be on page one, row two on page two. etc. I can convert the data to xml or what needs to be done. I ave adobe CS5. Acrobat Pro 9, livecycle. I have been told I can do this with ColdFusion, but I do not have it. Please advise

I outlined one approach here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3189754#3189754

so please give me ideas and suggesstions ,,
thanks in advance

Roger,
I don't know about simple way to load data from file into a table using button from your application,
Maybe some piece of PL/SQL code with UTL_FILE or DBMS_LOB, or you can try to upload file to database using Apex "File browse" item, and then do some processing with DBMS_LOB... but it will require some work...
Maybe someone else could advice with some simple method I don't know...
However loading files using Apex Load Utility is quite easy.
You can use something like this to load data to views created on remote tables:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM view_on_remote_table WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO view_on_remote_table SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
COMMIT;
DROP local_tmp_table;Or without views:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM remote_table@dblink WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO remote_table@dblink SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
DROP local_tmp_table;Regards

Multipart/form-data and file attachment

Hi ,
This question has probably been asked before, but if not then here it is. Any replies will be appreciated:
Q. When using "Enctype=Multipart/form-data", with file attachment alongwith other form fields, is it mandatory to attach a file ? What if user selects no file to attach?
Q. If no, then how can it be possible that a form can be submitted without attaching a file since when I try to submit a form with no file attached to it, it gives me error message saying :java.lang.NullPointerException
Q. Does it mean that I can't have a form with a blank "File" input field, if the form's Enctype is "multipart/form-data"? Since users may not select a file to attach to the form, in other words it is an optional.
I hope I was clear enough in explaining my questions.
Thanks in advance.

I am using Orielly's file attachement pacakge.
Here's what I am doing in my JSP page: It does the following:
int maxFileSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB max
String uploadDir = "/direct/files/upload/";
String FormResults = "";
String FileResults = "";
String fileName = "";
String fileName2 = "";
String paramName="";
String paramValue="";
File f;
int filecounter=1;
first get the form fields using following code:
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, uploadDir, maxFileSize);
Enumeration params = multi.getParameterNames();
//Get the form information
while (params.hasMoreElements())
     paramName = (String) params.nextElement();
     paramValue = multi.getParameter(paramName);
     if (paramName.equals("emailconfirm"))
          emailconfirmation = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("Requester"))
          Requester = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("TodaysDate"))
          TodaysDate = paramValue;
     else if (paramName.equals("Extension"))
}//end while
Then it gets the file information using the following code: I have two file fields in my form so that's why I am using a filecounter to find out if user has attached two files or just one:
Enumeration files = multi.getFileNames();
while (files.hasMoreElements())
     String formName = (String) files.nextElement();
     if (filecounter == 2)
fileName2 = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
     String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
          f = multi.getFile(formName);
     FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName2 + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
Size= " + f.length();
     else
     {     fileName = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
          String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
          f = multi.getFile(formName);
          FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
Size= " + f.length();
     filecounter=filecounter+1;
Then after composing the mail message I send email with the form fields and file attachments using following code:
Properties props = new Properties();
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp3 = new MimeBodyPart();
URLDecoder urlDecoder = new URLDecoder();
String to1 = urlDecoder.decode(toemail);
String from1 = urlDecoder.decode(fromemail);
String cc1 = urlDecoder.decode(ccemail);
props.put( "mail.host", host );
Session session1 = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
// Construct the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage( session1 );
msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress( from1 ) );
msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse( to1, false ) );
msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse( cc1, false ) );
msg.setSubject( subject );
msg.setHeader( "X-Mailer", "ExceptionErrorMail" );
msg.setSentDate( new Date() );
mbp1.setText(mail_message);
mbp1.setContent(mail_message, "text/html");
// Send the email message
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName);
FileDataSource fds2 = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName2);
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp3.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds2));
mbp2.setFileName(fileName);
mbp3.setFileName(fileName2);
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp3);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send( msg );
//email sent...
//delete the two files from the server..
File f2 =new File(uploadDir + fileName);
f2.delete();
File f3 =new File(uploadDir + fileName2);
f3.delete();
//End of code
So when I don't attach a file and submit my form , I get the error message that I mentioned in my previous post.
Any more ideas?

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

Transfer data from File server to SAP R/3 AS

hi, i need to transfer data from file server (http:/.....) to SAP R/3 application server. I have the HTTP Host name (http:/......) and login details. please let me know how i can resolve this.
best regards
Neeraj

Hi
You need to create a RFC Destination with the details what you have, then you can create a RFC Fucntion module to read the data, according to the destination system, you have to code that, once you
pick the data from the destination system, later you need to convert it to SAP Format.
To trace your fm status, there are function module availabe in sap, search with http, you can find.

How to insert data from file into matlab script node

I have interfaced input data from file to be processed using matlab script node. But the problem is that I could not capture the multiple data into matlab script node and to convert it into matrix. Further to this I need to process the data by plotting graphs from it. Thank you in advance for the advice

Zarina,
To clarify your problem, you have a script node contaning your Matlab code. Are you then using the standard LV functions to load in your data from a file and pass it into the script node?

Reading data from file in EJB

I would like to read data from files in EJBS (Stateless Session Bean I think). I've heard that the EJB sepcifications don't allow to use the java.io package to access the filesystem. How can I resolve this problem? Possible solutions I've thought of are:
* Use a webserver to store the data
* put the files in a jar and access them using the getResource() in the classloader class
Could you comment on this plesae
greetings

The specification states:
"An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data."
From this I understand I cannot acces files directly, but it does not specifiy I can't use the java.io package at all. It specifically says not to use the java.io package to acces files and directories, they don't say anything about using the classes for other use.
however, a litle lower the specification states:
"The enterprise bean must not attempt to create a class loader; obtain the current class loader; set the context class loader; set security manager; create a new security manager; stop the JVM; or change the input, output, and error streams.
These functions are reserved for the EJB Container. Allowing the enterprise bean to use these functions could compromise security and decrease the Container�s ability to properly manage the runtime environment."
I'm not sure how to interpret this, but I believe this rule makes my solution invalid.
Please comment on this,
thanks

Send form data from Coldfusion to ASP

I need to send form data from CF to ASP.
I submit a CF page and validate it on my end with another CF
page, which then needs to post the results to an asp page on
another site. The post has to be sent via SSL and I don't need to
and cannot receive any status message back from the remote ASP
site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking
some type of cfhttp, but I am not very familiar with its usage.
Thanks!

It doesn't matter what type of page you are sending to as
long as it can handle the data that is sent. Either a form or
cfhttp will work.

Have a combobox pre-filled using data from database

What would be a recommended method to have a combobox
pre-filled using data from database?

You can load an Array with the data returned from your
database and bind to that array as the dataProvider for the
comboBox.
[Bindable]
private var myArrayDP:Array = new Array();
//Load the array with your returned data.
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{this.myArrayDP}">
</mx:ComboBox>
Using an ArrayCollection however is often better if you want
changes to the dataProvider to automatically reflect in the
ComboBox.

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails?

So I would use APEX_COLLECTION (there is some information in APEX documentation).
Read all data you need to keep after submit and save them to your collection. Then, if validation fails, show report with data not from base, but from your collection. You have to create process, which creates collection, and you need to modify your report definition to get data not only from DB but also from collection.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Standard Proxy enhanced unable to fill the data from xml to the structure

Hi All,
We have enhanced a standard proxy structure in PI, generated the proxy in the target system SCM, but the call transformation is not filling the data from xml into the appended field.
Am i have to do any thing to fill the data.
Thanks.
Chaitanya Naru

Hi Srikant,
You can use the following code. This works for me.
Remember to set the multiplicity of the User structure to 0...N or 1...N
IGPStructure inputStructure = m_context.getInputStructure();
Collection inputItems = inputStructure.getStructures("User");
if(inputItems == null){
return;
for (Iterator iter = inputItems.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
//get input item structure and fill context
IGPStructure item = (IGPStructure) iter.next();
String attrName=
item.getAttributeAsString("AttrName");
Thanks & Regards,

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

Javascript for exporting form-data from spawned pages in csv-table

Hello,
I need your help with a problem concerning acrobat.
I created a form. The user can spawn new pages from a template.
The fields have the format Pn.templatename.fieldname, for example: P0.form.kosten1
The user fills the form, saves the file and sends it to me.
Now I have to get a CSV- or Excel-Table from this Data.
The Export-Function doesn't work, because of the different fieldnames.
Does Javascript work?
Perhaps I can create a 2-dimensional array and then write it to a csv-file??
Has anyone a good Idea?
Thank you for helping.
Many greetings,
Thomas

The only way I've found to do this is to open the form in Acrobat, click Forms, mouse over Manage Form Data, then click Export Data. Your only options are to save as .xml or .xdp. I saved my data as .xml. I was then able to import the .xml file into excel by clicking Data, mousing over xml, clicking Import... and browsing to the Acrobat generated .xml file. I know this is convoluted but it's the only way I've found to get the data into a spreadsheet. Acrobat exports the data as filename_data.xml, i.e. a form named contacts will export it's data as contacts_data.xml. Be aware, I've only tested this on a form that had a table in it and nothing else. If your table is part of a form with other fields in it I have no idea how the other data will look after exporting.

How to copy form data from one pdf to another?

Hi,
I have created a pdf, added form data to it. Saved the form data as a fdf file - all good.
I've updated the document and saved as a new pdf and would like to load the fdf data into it.
So I select tools - forms - more forms options, and press the "import" function - it goes grey and nothing happens.
If I re-open the document the import function remains greyed out.
I can find no way to import this data.... any ideas?
I've tried going into form edit mode - adding a new field. The import option is no longer greyed out so I click it and can select the fdf file hit open and ... the dialogue disappears and nothing happens.
Is my Acrobat XI 11.0.07 badly installed - or what?

You need to learn about the different types of PDFs. PDF/ A is an archive format that does not allow changes. PDF/X is used for graphics exchange
For forms I would use only the PDF with a target version. Do not use the Optimizer feature.
Forms always become larger due to the need to include the font for the various form fields. You might have to review the type fonts used by the form fields and one standard font as much a possible.
It is possible to use the FDF file to move field values from one PDF to another.
If you are trying to replace the underlying content and keep the form fields, use the replace pages.
