Flatten Fields and Comments

You could download an Action Wizard script in Acrobat X to create a FLATTEN FIELDS AND COMMENTS action. It appears I can use the same thing in XI, but why isn't this just a standard button in Acrobat XI? It is an extremely common thing users want to do and it's still missing. ??

I don't have Standard 10 to test this with, but see if you've enabled the console by checking "Edit > Preferences > JavaScript". Here's what Acrobat 9 Pro looks like (in part):
Does the menu item get created by the code in the folder-level JavaScript get displayed? If not, can you post again with the exact location of the file as well as the relevant code inside it?

Acrobat X and XI - SharePoint Integration - Not Supporting SharePoint Fields Keywords and Comments

Hi there,
Only a limited number of our staff have access to Acrobat, but they all have access to Acrobat Reader X.
When users use ‘Save As’ to save PDF files directly to a SharePoint 2007 Document Library, they are correctly requested to complete SharePoint meta-data, following selecting the appropriate Content Type.
All of the required meta-data is present with the exception of SharePoint’s built-in Columns ‘Keywords’ and ‘Comments’ (both multi-line text Columns).
All of the Columns which we have defined are present, including multi-line text Columns.
‘Keywords’ is a required Column for all of our documents and hence users cannot check-in their PDF documents.
I know of others who have experienced this problem, and testing at home confirms that the problem also presents with SharePoint 2010.
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader XI. Alas, the issue remains.
Thank you,

Hi mchagar <http://forums.adobe.com/people/mchagar> ,
Thanks for your reply!!
Because we have tens of thousands of existing items and documents which use SharePoint’s default Keywords, and many document libraries, we are keen to wait for an Adobe solution.
We are aware that we could create an additional column and copy Keywords to the new column. It is simply a large amount of work in a Corporate Environment, for no reason.
Hopefully Adobe will improve their products to include support for built-in SharePoint fields.
We’ll wait a bit longer.
Thank you,

Acrobat Flattening Form Fields and Optimizing for Web

I'm trying to optimize a PDF for the web and flatten all the form fields. I also want to remove the purple dialogue box at the top when optimizing on the web. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've toiled around with it for some time and can't seem to figure it out. In the older version, I would simply save it as a file optimized for the web, which would then flatten all the form fields and remove the purple box at the top. Any help would be appreciated.

Your question really belongs in one of the Acrobat forums. I flatten form fields (use the pre-flight tool) and then save for the web.

How do I restore the "Flatten annotations and form fields" Preflight profile?

The "Flatten annotations and form fields" Preflight profile (sub: PDF fixups) was accidentally deleted from my computer. I don't know how to reinstall/recreate it. I use it all the time... please help.

In which case, just recreate it yourself:
Preflight > Pptions menu > New Preflight Profile
Give it the name you want
Custom Fixups section on the left, add two entries from the list
"Flatten all annotations into page contents"
"Flatten all form fields into page contents"
Save it in the PDF Fixups category and lock it

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

Ask for helps and comments for a practicing ADF sample: Entering bank transaction records

Dear experts:
I'm redeveloping a practicing ADF sample application based on an exist application system of my company.
Here is the goal for this redeveloping:
What degree of productivity can adf achieve compare to eclipse?
And hereby is a small example I began from last Monday. some progress has been achieved, but pretty lot of difficulties remained,
so I post all neccessary informations to this forum, and ask for your kind helps and comments.
Thank you all in advance!
Introduction
The X company has some bank accounts in different banks, also it’s customers may have more than one bank account in different banks. Transactions between the X company’s bank accounts and it’s new or regular customers’ bank accounts happened heavily in daily. Bank transfer records in paper form will be collected and need to be entered into an in-house Financial System(NX1) of the X company every day.
This module will implement the function of Entering Bank transactions records for NX1.
In future, this Data Entering work for NX1 will be handled by some data exchange interface automatically.
And the following implementation will be based on ORACLE XE 11g, Jdev/ADF 12c.
This link can download the document for the example, I will upload Database scripts and JDEV application files tonight.

Hi, Timo and Frank,
Thank you all for your kind replies and sound suggestions!
Now let me talk freely on this thread-and I will limit my topic scope within this Jdev/ADF Space’s theme but maybe in a more broad perspectives. And I will separate topics into different posts to avoid over length of each post. Hope you will have enough patience to read through this some long story!

What you are up to?
First of all, I need to make some introduction of myself to answer “what you are up to”.
I come from China, living and working at Shenzhen city which is close to Hong Kong. And now I am running a small software company with 20 employees, our main business is to develop database centered applications which include in-house workflow/information management systems and websites/portals for organizations.
I have a pretty strong conviction that software technology should emancipate people from routine trivial mental works, just like engines in the industry revolution free people from heavily physical works. So I have a strong inclination for everything to be “automated”.
For running a company, this “automation” will not only bring the “aesthetics of everything running by itself”, but also will mean more productivity, quality and profits.—After all, no-living stuff is always cheaper than living creatures, let alone to say human beings.
However, when we software industry tried to automate business fields for our clients, the process of making software itself was still a manpower intensive, less-automation business. and this result a expensive products.
More than 15 years ago, when I began to work in an IT department of a big organization, I got to know the Oracle Designer/Developer 2000, and have being a diligent FORM/REPORT programmer for more than 4 years. I like the concept and practice of declarative design and automated generation.
And then more years past, and I left that organization and began to run a software company myself. And during these days, the mainstream technology of software development had been web oriented, Java/J2EE which I had no idea totally. But we have other guys who had expertise on it. So I just leave these works and decisions to them. And it seemed works at the beginning.
But after several years of business operation of application development for clients, I found this was a difficult-money-earn business. Even if our guys had worked hard, project schedules’ delay, over budget, clients’ complain was easily happened. Sometime we had more projects/contracts than what we can undertake, but we dare not to hire more people. I was confused:
-Was it a common situation in this field all over the world?
-What’s the key factor should responsible for?
-Where to start to improve the situation?
I know there are many factors should responsible, it’s a complex situation. Find more talented people and give better incentives for them to work hard is one choice—but it’s also a difficult task especially for a small company like ours. So to start from easy and confine solution’s scope is:
-We have these guys now, what we can do best?
(To be continued)

Adding a new field and new data item breaks layout

I am adding a new field to a subform and populating it form a .Dat unfortunatly adding this field is causing data outputed to the subform below it to shift down one line on the page when outputted.
This new field is outputted at the top of the form and and the line being shifted are below this.
Below is the field details and the field as it is in the .dat file.

I hoping someone might have an idea of why this is the case as I'm at a loss regarding why its happening.

I may not hit on it exactly, but this sounds like Adobe's processing order.
It wants to process the fields in the order they are in the DAT file.
I have a similar problem with an overflow field, that isnt last in the DAT file,
Read this here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2298283#2298283
Now that may not be exactly your issue, but I think its the same inherent problem,
Adobes processing order for the fields/subforms.
I am still trying to resolve my issue, but found the ^field command in the reference manual (Print Agent),
and am wondering if I can use it.

Text Field and Checkboxes

Ok... i wish i can show my form without letting everyone have axx to it.
But anyway, ive searched and i think i found part of the answer but i am still confused. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2033382#2033382
I have a form created completely. It has radio fields, text fields and checkboxes. I have two problems
One when ppl are typing in the text field area, it seems to lend in with the question, so if not paying attn, u wont know that they answered a question.
Currently i have the stuff set at Myriad Pro size 10.. Thats what i used to type comments and what not.
But when the end user flls out the form, i want it to at least be in bold or something.. Or maybe Times new roman Or something different from the question font itself.
Two.. in checkboxes, the default is X. Thats very light. I need that to be noticeable... So either make em a bod X or a way to increase the size of the tick without increasing the size of the box itself.. I just tried to use the STAR..And its bold enuf, but its small. It would be better if the star was a lil bigger.
Currently i think i have 150 checkboxes and about 50 text area and fields.
I thought about making the text thing rich format, but they cant do that for every field... id rather tdo that by default in the back end of the form itself.
I hope im not sounding confusinf

i know the square and circle are a bit ugly - but there is no chance you'll miss them
alternatively try adjusting the size a bit under -size you can take a standard checkboxes size from 10 to 12 without increasing its area for example - select the checkbox-objects-field-size - change to 12 eg - adds a bit of weight
i use squares when i need visual weigh -
for the text - might be worth having a test at setting input field values with a baseline shift -- thats basically make text bigger or smaller than, you guessed it, baseline -- this from the livecycle scripting reference
TextField1.font.baselineShift = "+5pt"; should do it for example --
scripting reference follows --- good luck
""baselineShift

shifts a font down from the baseline.

Can 11.0 search for composers and comments like the prior version?

when I type a composer's name in the library, I don't get an option for finding all the composers songs in my library, like I used to. I also can't figure out how to search the comments field.

Go to View > View Options, and check the boxes for Composer and Comments.
This will add those two columns to the view. If they are in the view, they will be included in Search.

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

How to add extension fields and mashups to partner solution?

To add extension fields and mashups I have log on to the system using a user with adaptation rights.
There's no possibility to do that from within the UI designer, right?
Now, if I adapt the screens with extension fields or by creating and adding mashups, how do I add these enhancements to my partner solution?
Or in other words, how do I ship extension fields and mashups with my partner solution?

Before you use the key user tools, you must "enable key user tools" in copernicus by right click on the solution. Now the changes will be added to the partner soltution transport order.
But you can add extension field in copernicus as well by adding new item "business object extension" to the partner solution.

Key fields and data fields in a DSO ??

i have a question regarding key fields and data fields in a Standard DSO...
i am using 2 datasources to build a open sales report 2LIS_11_VASTH and 2LIS_11_VASTI i am pulling in data from these 2 data sources to a DSO and i am wondering what infoobjects should be in the key fields and data fields .....does this reflect back to table VBUK and VBUP tables and does the key field in the DSO have to be the key fields in VBUK and VBUP tables ???? or what really should be included as key fields and data fields ????
please help....

If you look at the various SD tables, VBELN and POSNR are commonly used as the document number and document line item.
For VBAP and VBUP, it's referring to the Sales Order Line Item with the columns VBELN and POSNR as the key for both tables. However, if you look at the LIPS table, which is the Delivery Line Item table, it too has VBELN and POSNR as the key. Likewise, the VTTP table, which is the Shipment Line Item table, also has VBELN and POSNR as the key.
While using RSOSFIELDMAP as a map is a fairly good "rule of thumb", it still needs to be used with a level of skepticism.

Prerequsites for deciding Key fields and data fields

Hi
I would like to know the criteria to decide upon KEY fields and Data fields for an infoprovider.

Hi,
What is a Key field in a Database and How should I choose one?
Keys are crucial to a table structure for many reasons, some of which are identified below:
They ensure that each record in a table is precisely identified.
They help establish and enforce various types of integrity.
They serve to establish table relationships.
Datafields may be Charecteristics and it may be keyfigures

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rangzz
