Help with creating a new document

Hi,
I will have to work on creating a new document from scratch which will serve as a billing statement to a customer.
I have to construct it and I am really confused on how to structure my forms and subforms.
Can any of you please point me to a right place where I can get a good design guidelines?? Or is there anything like a good design for this.
Will the form structuring impact performance. This document can run really long based on the number of transactions.
I am using castor and object to xml mapping and using the data file to dynamically load the data on to pdf.
Since I am going to start this fresh, I want to get the structure and design correct.
Appreciate your time and help.
Thanks

    i want to create a new XML file from an existing DOM tree
    i used this code to create a new document:
    static public Document createDocument(String fileName) throws ParserConfigurationException//,IOException,SAXException
              try {
                   DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
                   factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
                   factory.setValidating(true);
                   DocumentBuilder builder =factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   return builder.newDocument();
    //          handle exception creating DocumentBuilder
              catch ( ParserConfigurationException parserError ) {
                        throw new ParserConfigurationException();
              }then i used this code to transform the DOM :
    public void exportDocument(Document document) {
              try {
                   Source xmlSource = new DOMSource( document );
                   Result result = new StreamResult( System.out );
                   TransformerFactory transformerFactory =

                   Transformer transformer =transformerFactory.newTransformer();
                   transformer.setOutputProperty( "indent", "yes" );
                   transformer.transform( xmlSource, result );
           //then catching the exceptions
    But the file was not created and i didn't find where can i specify the DTD that the XML file should use and where can i enter the name of the XML file itself
    Another questoin can i write a DTD file dynamically during the execution of the program??

Are you talking about using Swing? If so, what exactly do you mean by a "new window"? You can create a simple dialog via the method JOptionPane.showMessage(...) method. Do you mean to create and show a new JDialog? JFrame? Do you know about ActionListeners and how to add them to jbuttons? Given your post, I think that your best bet would be to start going through the Sun Java Swing tutorial from the beginning. Look here .

  • Help with Creating A New Application Form

    Hi, completely new to this and trying to create a new application form for a conference.
    I've created the form and set each of the packages delegates can buy and added a select button on the right hand side of each of the 6 packages but I can't seem to get it to the point where only one package can be selected - each has details ie B&B and dinner etc so I want delegates to select the one they want beside it.
    Also I've managed to create the link to create the email address to populate to send it back but it isn't attaching the completed form - how do I do this?
    All help EXTREMELY welcomed! Thanks

    Hi,
    as I know, you can change your cursors by system software or/and browser. On the other hand you can use programs "outside" of your DW. I suggest to "Google" for them, as I did, and found for example this:
    http://www.google.de/#hl=de&xhr=t&q=create+cursor&cp=13&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&a q=0&aqi=g2&aql=&oq=create+cursor&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=e8c6fad3e718b799&biw=1280 &bih=785
    or http://www.cursors-4u.com/ and while examining this website my cursor changed immediately.

  • Noob help with creating a new function module

    Hi everyone,
    I'm just learning SAP and trying to integrate a WMS system towards it and I'm losing hair over it hehehe
    The scenario is that I want to extract Purchase Order Rows details and that's not a hard thing to do since there are multiple BAPIs that can be invoked, for example BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL.
    I'm using .NET Connector 3 to talk to SAP.
    The problem however is that I want to see how many articles that have already been delivered into the warehouse using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. There is no information returned when using BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL that specifies that a Purchase Order Row has a quantity of 30 and that 20 has already been delivered.
    That information can be retrieved by using BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS.
    The problem with using BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS is that it returns all of the rows and I am only interrested in retrieveing the rows with quantity for a specific purchase order.
    So i decided to create my own BAPI or Function Module (or whatever it's called) that would take a PO_NUMBER and PO_ITEM and return the quantity of already delivered items. For example if one of the PO Rows (10) has 100 items and there has been 2 partial deliveries of 20 and 30. The function should return the value of 50 because it's the sum of 20 and 30.
    My code looks like this:
    FUNCTION ZBAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS.
    ""Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(PO_NUMBER) TYPE  BSTNR
    *"     VALUE(PO_ITEM) TYPE  EBELP
    *"  EXPORTING
    *"     REFERENCE(ENTRY_QNT) TYPE  ERFMG
    SELECT SUM( MENGE ) INTO ENTRY_QNT FROM MSEG
      WHERE
      EBELN = PO_NUMBER AND
      EBELP = PO_ITEM.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    The problem is that when i try to Activate it it says:
    REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing, or program type is INCLUDE.          
    What am i missing? Is there an easier way to extract already delivered quantities when extracting PO information?

  • Help with creating a new account!

    Due to the fact that I had to erase my hard drive and put a fresh latest version of iLife06 on it, I am having some issues trying to create an account within iTunes Music Store. iTunes wants me to add credit card information for purchases. In the past, I have been buying pre paid iTunes cards and would rather continue doing this. So how can I get around putting my CC info in? It won't let me get pass that step in the setting up the account process.When I click sign in and put my info in it says that my information has never accessed the music store and wants me to register. The first screen that comes up is the Credit Card screen.
    Thanks!

    yea I sent them an email already and waiting for a response. I have tried several different combinations of logins both AOL and a @mac.com and getting no where. In the FAQ's it said there was an option to select NONE if the person did not have credit cards and would have to use the pre paid cards. Well I don't see a NONE listed as an option and I have the very latest version of iTunes too! So who knows whats up! I'll have to wait and hear from them.

  • Creating a new document with separate images

    Can someone help me create a new document that has two separate images. I can create a new document but don't know how to place two separate photos in the document. For instance create a document that is 8.5 x11 with two images each 8.5 x 5.5.

    there is a number of ways to do this. also reading the manual to get a basic understanding of how Photoshop works will do wonders. Another method of learning is lynda.com
    here is one way.
    1 make a doc that is 8.5 x 11 at whatever resolution you need.
    2 use a guide as a center point.
    3 open the two pics you want to use.
    4 make sure they are the same res as your 8.5 x 11
    5 drag the layers from the open pics to the 8.5 x 11
    6 crop and size the pics in the file so they fit in each half

  • Creating a new document with columns and printing effects

    If you create a new document and set columns into it in the new document menu, and then subsequently create images, tables, text etc. in the document that are bigger than one column (that stretch for example across the entire page), will the part of the image that's in the gutter print and/or show up if it's saved as a PDF?
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Guides are only there as a reference for you to help in alignment.They don't restrict what or where objects can be placed or affect their visibility or printability.
    To see what your page will look like in print, switch to Preview Mode (fast way is to press W with nothing selected).

  • How to create a new document with a given theme, instead of choosing it every time.

    Hi,
    for work I only use a custom made keynote theme.
    I've already deleted all the default themes, and the only one that is listed in the app is the one I actually use.
    However every time I create a new document I have to chose its theme (that's normal having plenty of themes, but in my case is just a waste of time).
    I was wondering if there's a way to tell keynote to start a new document with a given theme, in order to avoid to chose it every time.
    Thank you for reading and for the help you will give.
    Giacomo

    Keynote > Preferences > General tab
    select “Use theme,” and then click Choose to select a theme.

  • Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output.

    I'm studying up for the CS4 ACE exam, and I'm stumped on something. In the "Laying out a Document" section, it says: "Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output." There isn't really anything specific to creating a document for flash, except that you wouldn't add bleed. I can't find anything online that addresses this. Am I missing something here? Any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. This seems rather ambiguous. What is there to know about this?

    You're right that any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. I'm not sure what you're going to be asked on the ACE exam, but here are some resources:

  • Creating a new document in Finder with right-click--How?

    Is there a way to create a new document in a Finder folder by right-clicking (or Ctrl-left)? So that the new file will be created at that very spot, in that very folder.
    In Windows-Explorer this was quick and easy. Just right-click and you could choose from a menu to create a new empty doc of the most popular (installed) programs. Text file was mandatory. The file was created where the curser was at. VERY handy as that way you didn't have to open the application, create a new doc and then when saving having to crawl your way all the way to the position in the Explorer/ Finder.
    Since I started with Apple and Tiger I've been missing this feature and Snow Leopard still does not seem to have it. Or did I miss something? I checked all the menue as well. There's not even a "Create new document". Only a "Create new folder". 
    I was just reminded of this when I wanted to create a new file on an external drive on a server to save some text in it. There was no way other than first opening Textedit, saving the empty file on the local Mac, THEN transferring the empty file to the server. Only THEN I could open it and edit it.
    There MUST be a quicker way.
    Also, in Windows you could edit this list in the menu (and add programs that would not by themselves do this). Is there a way for the Mac?
    Cheers,
    Jay

    I might have just found a solution myself:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10432377?messageID=10432377&amp%3b#1043237 7
    It seems other people are wondering too.
    And for those of you who don't understand why this is useful: Try it.
    Open Textedit, Apple-N, and then save the darned file somewhere deep in the labyrinth of the Finder where you've just been but withouth the file. It takes AGES.
    I, on the other hand -- at least in Windows --, right-click, new, double-click AAAND I'm on editing the file.
    VERY quick.
    It's beyond me why this is not possible on a Mac.

  • HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
    Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
    I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
    The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

  • Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

    I have two instances in a server. both have different homes. I want to create a seperate listener for the second one i created.
    But that is not happening.
    here i tried to give name from LISTENER TO LISTENER1 & Port# from 1521 to 1524.

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aixth53)(PORT = 1524))
    When I check lsnrctl status with LISTENER1 , it still shows the other instance home with port#: 1521
    Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

    It just forks a process or a thread, and that's it.And the listener is a single point of failure. Listener goes down, you can't connect to the db. That's why you need two listeners.If listener one goes down, then listener two goes down for exact same reason since it is a single executable file.I'm not playing tit-for-tat with you. Fact is, there are situations where people who are not you might want to use more than one listener.Some folks might want to jab a sharp pencil into their eye, too.
    Just because you can do something, it does not necessarily mean it should be done.
