How can I create PDFs dynamically using data from a DB?

Hello,
I am using ATG Dynamo to serve up pages for a B2C medical eCommerce site. I would like the ability to create PDF copies of a customer's invoice starting with a generic PDF template, then populating the document with the invoice-specific data and serving it to the customer.
Anyone know where I should start?
Thanks,
Jeff

Two options.
1. Formated objects, which uses xml and xslt to create a pdf file. Apache has an open source FOP engine for Java. This is fairly complicated, but doable however the technology is relatively immature. Inexpensive, moderately steep learning curve given no prior experience.
2. Third party application, my company uses Document Sciences, j2ee solution. Expensive, small learning curve.

  • How can I create a chart using data (from formulas) in my header columns?

    Hello,
    I'm wanting to create a chart using formula totals in my header column. When I attempt to click on the chart icon after selecting my header column, the chart button doesn't appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Move your formulas in a non header column.
    In the cell A2 of the table "aux", the formula is :
    =IF(ISBLANK(main :: A2),"",main :: A2)
    then I applied Fill Down.

    How can one create a paint color generated from a photo using Kuler?

    The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform.  There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
    http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
    Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow.  You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:

    Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
    The pattern is much reduced.  With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.

    How can I create DVD label using Photoshop Elements 10?
    Richard

    You can create the design for a DVD label in Create>More Options. Once you have the label set up, you would copy it to a template for the labels you plan to use. (The PSE template makes one label, while most printed labels are two-up.)

  • HT2534 how can i create an account in itunes from Bangladesh ?

    how can i create an account in itunes from Bangladesh ?

    If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
    Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
    Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
    You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

  • How can I create an iBook using iBooks Author using images from a PDF?

    I have a complex book with custom fonts and lots of images, and the client wants it on the iPad. So my most reasonable option seems to be to take images from a PDF and use them for the pages. However, images in iBook Author don't get "laid out" as expected in Portrait mode. How can I  create a layout that is essentially one image per page in portrait mode, and then convert that to landscape mode? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

    tk0us wrote:
    Make sure you have disabled portrait in the Inspector.
    I don't understand why portrait mode defaults images and other "widgets" to thumbnails. The original format of the book (and of 99% of all books I'm guessing) is in portrait format. By forcing the book to work only in landscape mode it's forcing the page image to be half the size, and that makes using this book particularly difficult. Is there no way to force the pages to be full-size in portrait mode?

  • How can I create classes dynamically?

    Guys
    My requirment is I want to create classes and their instancess too dynamically. First is it possible in Java?
    If so, then my next question is how can I refer such dynamically created classes in my code to avoid compilation error.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sunil

    For other ways to generate classes on runtime you could also have a look at BCEL:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel
    And dynamic proxies:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/reflection/proxy.html
    If so, then my next question is how can I refer such
    dynamically created classes in my code to avoid compilation
    error.Generally the classes that you load should either implement some interface or extend some abstract class you know of at compile time so that the compiler knows what methods are available for use. If that's not possible you can only use reflection.

  • How can I create a dynamic Dropdownlist

    Hi Experts,
    I am new in the adobe forms and I have this problem.
    I am working on a Dropdownlist in Adobe Interactive Form. In my case, my form will be used in Offline-ABAP system without any web dynpro application.
    I have an internal table containing some values like this (number of rows depend on what is store on the database dynamic)
    A0  Dropdownlist1
    A1    Dropdownlist2
    A2    Dropdownlist2
    B0 Dropdownlist1
    B1    Dropdownlist2
    B2    Dropdownlist2
    B3    Dropdownlist2
    B4    Dropdownlist2
    C0  Dropdownlist1
    C5    Dropdownlist2
    C6    Dropdownlist2
    C7    Dropdownlist2
    I would like to create 2 dropdownlist. to be as follows:
    The first dropdownlist must have for example the values A0, B0, C0 .
    When the user select for example B0 from the Dropdownlist1, then dropdownlist2 must have only the value B1, B2, B3 and B4.
    How can i do that as I have seen the example in the purchase order (country and state).
    My requirement is that, the value must be dynamic, that means i must select the value from the SAP-Database into internal table and bind it to my dropdownlist.
    Thanks and Regards.

  • How can I create events dynamic for a Group/List?

    Hey,
    atm I'm programming a little application where i want to add elements to my center-pane.
    Simpyfied I got:
    - Center Pane : here shall the elements appear on right click in bottom-pane. This pane shall be used as anything like a playground where you can drag/drop and connect items from the bottom-pane
    - Bottom Pane: here I got about 180 elements which are quite equal. This is sth like a menu of items which you can use. I realised them in java classes extended from a parent class with differend calulations.
    What I want:
    I want to create an event handler for EACH of the "menu" elements dynamically. Just sth like:
        for (int i = 0; i < basic_menu_list.size(); i++)
          final Element el = hbox_bottom.getChildren().get(i);
          hbox_bottom.getChildren().get(i).setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
            public void handle(MouseEvent event)
              if (event.isSecondaryButtonDown())
                playground.add(el);
                redrawPlayground();
        }But as i expected this doesnt work...
    Now my question:
    How can I solve this problem? Is there any option to listen to all elements of a group without hard-coding every single listener?
    Thanks for your help,
    Martin
