Hacking into the form values file to retrieve a post after closing a window

Okay, I'd just finished editing and re-editing a very long post and was doublechecking some of the links when I inadvertedly closed the entire window instead of merely closing the tabbed page I'd brought the new link up on to test it.
I poked around and found a long binary file called "Form Values" in library/safari directory and I would just bet this has my full post in it. I copied it to the desktop because I had a feeling that if I opened another form with Safari, the info would be rewritten and lost forever. So I do have a safety copy now.
Anyone have any idea at all how I could retrieve that information, and convert it from binary back into text form so I would not have to spend another two hours remembering and rewriting the post?
Or a way of getting Safari to recognize it and read it into a new post form?
Boy, recovering data with a menu item like "undo close window" or a reopen sure would be a nice feature... I bet I'm not the only person that's done this.
THANKS!!

I just downloaded Hex Editor and gave myself a trip down memory lane (hadn't used one of these editors since my DOS days). Anyway, as I expected, it looks like the Form Values file is encrypted - there are no recognizable text strings to extract. In any case, this file contains the data you used to fill out forms at particular sites, it does not carry the entire page or form.
You could try Retrospective to see if you can find the page with the form in Safari's cache. If you do find it, the form could be filled out as when you closed the window or it could be blank as when it was last loaded into Safari - I don't know which because I haven't searched the cache with this puspose in mind before.

My lov results into the return value instead of the display value in APEX

Hi,
For 1 of the columns I'm representing in APEX, I choose 'Display as text, based on a lov'. I'm using:
select aan.id||', '||r.naam||', '||a.woonplaats d, aan.id r
from wmo_aanvragen aan
, wmo_dossiers d
, wmo_relaties r
, wmo_adressen a
where d.avg_1_id = aan.id
and d.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.id = (select min(e.id) from wmo_adressen e where e.REL_NUMMER = r.nummer
and e.EIND_DATUM is null)
and d.id = (select min(f.id) from wmo_dossiers f where f.AVG_1_ID = aan.id)
But somehow it displays the 'aan.id' value instead of the display value. Does anyone know howcome?? In TOAD it works fine

Hello Niels,
Your LOV Displays your concatenated value, but returns the "aan.id" (into the Form field), just as expected. If you want to show the description on your Form, use a PopUp LOV - Displays Description Return Key value

How can I convert the download.m4a and Info.plist into the right audio file

The topic is actually the problem that I have.
I have bought music and it was downloaded successful (all of it) but iTunes had a strange freeze while converting the files into the right audio file. Some files were converted but after the freeze no more.
I'm now left with these .tmp folders in the downloads folder which have the download.m4a and Info.plist files.
My iTunes is able to play these download.m4a files, but they show no information and covers and this is really annoying. I could write and change it all by myself, but than I would still miss some information (and covers).
Is there any way for me to convert or combine these files?
Note: I'm not able to restart any downloads, because they were successful.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

Importing XML Data Back into the Form

I have a form that shows several subforms based on the selections the user has made while filling in the form. This is working quite well but when I import the XML data back into the form it doesn't show the subforms that have been used.
Is there an easy way to change this?
Thanks in advance!
Emma

Actually the issue may actually have to do with the fact that the connections aren't bound, but I haven't seen the data.
I have some fairly complex forms that include both subforms and instances, have an XSD embedded and export as XML. When I import the data, everythi
Now, that being said...
Are your subforms "hidden" and you opt to display them upon selection of a radio button for example, or do you SetInstances()? If you're using visible=TRUE or FALSE, that may also cause some issues.
Try this -- on Form:ready try this code:
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
else { // this is fisrt time open -- i sometimes had issues with subforms being visible on first entry
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
Then on:Click essentially copy most of the code you put in form:ready
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
Of course this will go on top of your radio button group.
If you are exporting to XML, it will make your life a whole lot easier, by the way, to import an XSD and bind your nodes, especially as your forms and data start to get more complex.
Finally, you may also know this but -- unless you have Forms Server, any user that wants to export the data or import the data will need to have at least full Acrobat Professional. If you want people to be able to save data in the form but import/export isn't that important, they will need to have full Acrobat.
I hope that helps a bit. Good luck!

Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

Hi,
Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time?

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time? WANt to copy text from a pdf and enter into a form- 1 x.

My bet is that there are 3 copies of the same field one on top of another.
You can verify this by going to Form Edit mode and inspecting the fields

Does Pr embed any meta data into the finished (exported) files?

I'm worried that it embeds my name, username or something like that into the finished movie files intended for distribution/playback. Is this the case?
If not, does it embed any kind of meta data? Perhaps that it was made with Premiere? Photoshop seems to add that to every file.

Many formats do not support MetaData, so depending on your chosen format, it is probably not even possible. Then, even where it is, such as WMV's and DRM, PrPro will not do that without direct input from you, and might not even be able to do that, if you wished.
Good luck,

Limit on the number of file names retrieved using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

Hi All,
I am using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' , to retrieve file names from a specified directory.
When executed, i am getting 10,000 records(file names) only against lakhs of files present in the directory.
I would like to know if there is any limitation on the number of file names retrieved using that FM and how to over come it.
Also please let me know if the FM 'EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' also has any such limitations.
Thanks in advance,
Sreeni Vallem

I did not know about this limitation of number of files returned. You can give a try to the external command way of doing it in your development system. Well, creating 10001 files in development is a boring job . You can write a sample program as Rob has mentioned in this thread and copy files to a specific directory ABAP: Copy files from one R3 directory to another. This doesn't disturb the existing program written.
Mean while let's wait for expert's reply.

How to insert application form id into the form template

Hi,
Is there a way to set the application form id into a form template designed from the LiveCycle Designer? Here is the detail description of my question:
(1) I am using LiveCycle Design to design a form template.
(2) I go to our application to deploy this form template. During the process, a form id will be generated and it will be associated with this form template.
(3) I would like to insert this generated form id into the form template, so that later when user fills out and submits the form, I will know what's the form id the submitted data belongs to.
Appreciate you kind help!!!

Hi Justin,
Yes. The form ID will be generated by our application during the form deployment process (after the form is designed, it needs to be deployed to our application before it can be used.). So I was hoping there is a way to set the form ID into the form template design at that point. So that later when end user fills out and submits this form, I will know what form ID it is related to.
If I cannot do this at the deployment point, one way I can think of is to do it at the time when end user is downloading the form. I can return a "rendered" form (instead of opening up the form template directly) with the form ID information in it. But that means for every single form user opened we need to render it at run time to fill in the form ID, which is not performing and what I was trying to avoid.
Thanks for your help!

Exist an easy way to convert base64 code in XML files into the original image file on forms

I've made a form in lifecycle that will be distributed by email as a pdf, and submitted back to me as an XML file and then that data imported into the pdf form template to view the data. Issue is I have an "attach image" field on the form and in XML it gets written to a base64 encoded format. Is there convenient way to extract this code from the XML file so that I would have a workable jpeg image file that I can save and open in other apps? Thank you in advance! -Robert Tampa

I tried to make John Brinkman's sample working in reverse.
This script will grab an image field's value and produce an attachment (png-file), which then can be saved to the hard drive.
//Get Base64 data of the image field
var b64Data = ImageField1.value.image.value;
//Convert to a read stream
var ReadStream = util.streamFromString(b64Data);
//Decode from Base64
var DecodedStream = Net.streamDecode(ReadStream, "base64");
//Attach an empty image file
event.target.createDataObject("MyExportImage.png", "", "image/png");
//Update attached image file with stream data
event.target.setDataObjectContents("MyExportImage.png", DecodedStream);
//Show attachment pane
event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:7};
This works so far, but the produced images are always cutted off.
No idea what's the reason for this behavior.

1 Unable to retrieve the form values entered by the user from the xpath expression(with or without s

1.1 Description of the Workflow
We have designed a Workflow, which has an init form HighLevelQuestionnaire.
1. The user attempts to start the workflow by submitting this form, which has an XML schema embedded.
2. When user submits the data, we set workflow variables to fetch data from the init-form and all the values entered by the user are stored in the database.
3. Based on the values, value of Risk Level is calculated to be either High or Medium, and user is routed to one of the two routes.
4. The user QPAC is used to show the next form to the user.
Another form has been designed called AssessRisk in which user is asked to confirm the Risk Level.
5. At this point, we use Script QPAC to print the values in the log.
1.2 Problem description
1. In the Point No. 6 of the workflow, the values are not printed in the log. A blank space is printed instead.
2. Initially, we embedded the schema in the form. But when values were not printed, we removed the schema. Even then it didnt work.
1.2.1 User QPAC Specifications
Properties of user QPAC used in Step 4 of the workflow
Mappings Tab: -
Input Variable --- No variable
Template URL ----- Form11.xdp
Output Variable ---- myform
Myform is a form-variable, which has template URL as Form11.xdp
1.2.2 Script QPAC
1.2.2.1 With XML Schema embedded
import com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.*;
System.out.println("----------- High Level Questions -----------");
System.out.println("--1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/RiskLevel/general/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
Note:- Here RiskLevel is the schema root of myform and Risk_Level is the schema variable mapped with textfield on the form
1.2.2.2 Without XML Schema embedded
System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/fields/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
1.2.2.3 Conclusion
In both the cases, a blank value is printed. In both the cases, we get some output which is when we use
System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data ") + " @@@@@");
In this case all the values are printed with space in between.
This is the basic feature which has to be used while developing workflows.

Hi
You might want to try using VariableLogger, at:
http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml
It's a little more reliable than the script QPAC, especially if one of your xpath expressions is wrong.
Please note that embedding the schema makes no difference in how the data from the form is stored. What makes the difference is whether your fields are bound to specify schema elements, or whether they use the "normal" binding.

Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
on the map, which is what I'm using.
I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
lies.
The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
correct addressA
location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
Do you have any ideas?
