Folder level script? How can I use field value as a pdf filename in save as dialog box

I read somewhere that if you use a folder level script, you can do things like save a pdf with a specific filename - possibly based on a field name.
How would one set up a folder level script?
How do you execute a script from the PDF?
What code would you use to change the PDF name to the contents of the fFieldName text field?
Or, is this really just impossible to do?

The article is interesting. It suggests you place code like this:
// Page Replacement Function
var ReplaceLastPage = app.trustedFunction( function(cPath) {
app.beginPriv();
this.replacePages(this.numPages-1, cPath); app.endPriv();
In the trusted folder. What is the path of the trusted function(s) that get automatically loaded into Acrobat?
I assume in the example above, function(cPath) is a function inside of the PDF...

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

How can I pass field value betwen view in ICWC?

Hi experts,
I am new to this BSP programming. I have some requirements to modify standard ICWC in CRM 5.0
Hope can get some advices and helps here.
I have added a new field called <status> to context note SEARCHCUSTOMER in BupaSearchB2B view and also the same field name to context note CUSTOMER in BupaCreate view.
I have added the field into both the HTM views and able to execute thru WebClient. However, I have one problem in passing the <status> value from BupaSearchB2B view to the BupaCreate view when I click on the 'create' button.
I do search and saw this thread How can I pass field value beetwen view in IC Web Client? , but i cant figure out how it works.
Do I need to create the field <status> to context note CUSTOMER in BupaSearchB2B? Currently the context note does not have any attributes.
Really appreciate for any help.

How can I use a Value at several different places without using a long wire?

too much wire alway make program into mess.So can I use the Value in labview like using it in C.
I have try the "Local Value",but it don't work well as a Cluster. For example, I can't connect it with "Unbundle By Name" and other Cluster Tools.

Overuse of local variables is probably worse than the "mess" created by long wires. It increases memory usage, violates data flow, and increases probability of race conditions. A better solution to long wires is to make the diagram smaller by using subVIs. There's been a lot of discussion here and in the various LabVIEW style guides about avoiding local and global variables. I use them seldom and only then when I doing some complicated user interface.

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Inplaceness is synonymous with insidiousness

How can I use the value returned for a function into the macro ??

I create a function to work in a macro and I would like to use the value of parameter f_calc_error returned by function in a condition like IF, but I don't know how can I do that. I have to use the macro function CALC_ERROR ??
Thanks.
Edson Suzuki

Hi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
      DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
        exporting
          plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
          sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
          sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
        tables
          cols_index       = i_t_cols
          value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
        changing
          f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out

How can I pass field value beetwen view in IC Web Clien

Hi my name is Adrian and I am begining abuot BSPs programming.
I have a next problem, I have two views, IRecReson.htm and IRecFollowUp.htm. They have a description field both, and I need to pass the same value to description field when the user save data to IRecReson.htm update the value to description in IRecFollowUp, but I don´t know how.
Could you help me.
thanks

Hi Adrian,
Welcome to the world of BSP Programming,
For passing data between two views u need to have a link to custom controller, since the data linked to the custom controller you can directly access from any other view controller.
you can use methods like get_attribute, set_attribute present in the entity class to get/set values to the attributes in the view controller!.
Hope this will help U..
Thanks n Regards,

If we are able to top 20 ranks by amount only then we are no need to worry about remaing values.
like RANK ( Amount , Qty , Name ) ....

How can I use Firefox to view a pdf in a local file? On the web pdf's open in Acrobat but in a local file (file:///C:/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) Firefox displays raw text instead of launching Acrobat

I am configured to open pdf's in Acrobat instead of Firefox. This works great on the web. I have a local mirror of a website on my local disk as well as a network disk. When I use my html file to attempt to open the pdf on the local disk (file:///C:/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) it opens as text in Firefox - appears to be ASCII view of the binary contents of the pdf. When I use my html file on my network disk (http://tucgsa.ibm.com/~kdbutt/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) everything works as it should.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

How can I use wpg_docload.download_file and prompt the user to save it?

Hi,
Posted about this a couple of weeks ago with a text file and got the following code (where x.zip=x.txt) and it worked fine. Problem is that I need to do this with zip files, and when I run the code below, it simply displays the zip file, rather than prompting the user to save the file. Have tried every mime type under the sun. No joy.
The How to Upload and Download Files in an Application Advanced Tutorial for Release 3.2 does not work for APEX4. Simply creating a file browse item leads to Error ORA-20999: P3_FILE_NAME has to have a valid BLOB column as source. and so I cannot follow that tutorial to get further clues on how to make this work.
Susan
Thanks and here's the wpg_docload.download_file code that displays a binary file:
declare
lob_loc bfile;
v_length integer;
fname varchar2(100) := 'x.zip';
l_blob blob;
des_offset number := 1;
src_offset number := 1;
begin
lob_loc := bfilename('CELFILES_9906', fname);
v_length := dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);
dbms_lob.open(lob_loc, dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE(
dest_lob=>l_blob,
src_bfile=>lob_loc,
amount=>v_length,
dest_offset=>des_offset,
src_offset=>src_offset);
owa_util.mime_header('application/zip', false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' || fname || '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
RAISE;
end;

I downlod blobs like this without issue (using IE7 and FF):
owa_util.mime_header('application/octet', False);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || DBMS_LOB.getlength (l_blob));
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||v('P20_FNAME')||'"');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (l_blob);
...Remember, that it's your browser's MIME type settings that determine whether to pop up a save diaglog box. In FF 3.6 > Tools > Options > Applications > Content type. The set action for each mime type.

How can I use my 27 iMac as a screen for my Satellite tv box? Usb?

I'm trying to watch TV from my Directv, into the usb in in my 27" iMac, to use the iMac as a tv. There are several adapters that will convert it properly, but I don't know where to look for software that will let me just watch it in real time, as opposed to recording it.
Anybody know of such a program/software?
thanks!

What iMac model do you have ?
