How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

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!

How to import multiple xml records into PDF form

Our organization needs to print and distribute serveral hundred PDF forms to our members. We want to populate the names and some other basic info at the top of each form so the member can fill in the rest and sign and return it. I have the one page form set up with the fields and it's connected to an xml schema data source. When I import the xml file it reads the first record and that's it - how do I get it to read all of the xml records into a copy of the form for each record in the xml data source file so we can print and discribute the forms? We are using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows 7 32 bit machine.
Thanks

Is this a form created with Acrobat or LiveCycle?
Acrobat would need uniquely named fields for each individual's page or pages if they are all in one file.
If you are processing one PDF file per individual, I would look at splitting the XML or FDF file into a record for each individual and them populating each individual's PDF form.
You could even use a tab delimited file and a template to populate the PDF template and then spawn a new page from the template.
With LiveCycle I would look at using a database for the variable data.

How to display all PO data in the PDF form?

Hi,experts,
I create a WDJ application with the PDF form for print all PO sheet.
I can transfer all data from WDJ to PDF form.
I need continuous print all PO sheet that include header and items.
After I run the application, I found only the one PO header and one items in the PDF FORM.
I think the config of the adobe form is error.
The version of the adobe livecycle designer is 7.1.
Do you give me some hint?
Best regards,
tao

Hi, Chintan,
Thanks a lot for your reply so quickly.
I have check the config of the "Repeat Row for each item" according your word.
I change the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" for the PO items, and the PO items is ok after I run the application.
But the pdf is only one PO sheet, not all PO sheet.
I found the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unabled in the HEADER subform. I think it is the cause for the problem.
But I don't know how to enable the HEADER subform because the check box of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unable in the subform of the header.
Do you give me some hint? Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!
Best regards,

How to import a data base into oracle 10g.

hi all
when am using the scott/tiger username and password in the SQL plus i got this msg..
"the account is locked"
how can i solve this issue?
and when i use the same username and password scott/tiger in addition to define a Host string " orcl" which is my new automatically generated database while installation.. it gives me this msg: TNS: no listener.
any help ?
by the way i succeed to login using .. system/zaq123 which is my own created password while installing oracle 10g ....ver 10.1.2.0 ..... in addition to the Host string "orcl" ......

If you're not familiar with OEM, or you want to learn, you can unlock that account from SQL*Plus, too.
And when you unlocked SCOTT, don't forget to look after your TNSNAMES and LISTENER configuration...
Good luck!

Geting an error trying to import a data file into OWB repository

Hi,
We're using OWB 11.1.0.7.0
I'm trying to import a new data file and I'm getting an error.
When I go to The Project/Files/ I right click on the module I want to add the files to,
I get a 'Wizard' titled 'Welcome to the Import Metadata Wizard'.
I click next.
I get the 'Filter Information' screen that asks if I want to select 'All Data Files' or a specific file.
I pick 'All Data Files' and click 'next'.
I get the 'Object Selection' screen that has a left and right panel. The left side is titled 'Available' and the right side is titled Selected.
The 'Available' panel had the directory in Linux (/etl/datafeeds/dev) where our data files are stored with a plus sign next to it.
When I click the plus sign, I get an error message that says:
API2836: Directory
/etl/datafeeds/dev does not exist.Has anyone seen this? What is the work around? Is it a bug? How do I import a data file into OWB if this isn't the way to do it?

Hi, is there any obligation to use import wizard?
can you use right click and import view/table?

Writing data programmatically into PDF template created in LiveCycle designer

Hi!!!
I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically (I don't want to open LiveCycle Designer 7.0 and from there do import/export). I want to write a program in java, which will fetch data from database and will merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.
How this can be achieved? Do I have to write an XDP file? Is there any API which will create XDP out of the PDF template created in designer? If so, then how to merge the data from the XDP into the PDF programmatically.
Thanks in advance.

Careful with the recommendations for XPAAJ. There are specific restrictions around whether you can
use XPAAJ or not. Specifically, you have to own a copy of one of the server-based LiveCycle

Maybe someone from Adobe can clarify.

Open sybase data base in oracle form

How can I Open sybase data base in oracle form ?

Its not possible to do it directly but you can do it by installing a Transparent Gateway in your Oracle database. You would then connect to the Oracle database and it would route the table references to the Sybase DB with the help of the gateway. You wouldn't be able to utilize all the functionality of the Sybase DB, only the ones exposed by the gateway.

How do I import Excel cell data in to an already built custom list.

I have a custom list that we are using as an End Of Shift Report.
I would like to expand the list to incorporate some of our process data. (We are a paper mill). We have a data historian, PI Process Book, that has an Excel add-in, that allows us to import the process data in to Excel.
I am able to do the "import spreadsheet" function and get the data in to a new list. What I can't figure out is either how to import directly in to the custom list I have already created, or how to import from the new list to the custom list.
I could use the "new list" as a container for several different process points if I could figure out how to load the process data in to the custom list.
We are currently using WSS3, but are upgrading in either the 4th Q this year, or Q1 2014.
Any other suggestions on how to display single point data (End of Shift Inventory calculations for example) in a custom sharepoint list are welcome.
I want to take a tank level reading, which we monitor and multiply it by X gallons per foot, then load the total gallons in to the custom list

1) Open WSS List, and Export it to Excel
2) Open the Excel file you want to import
3) Copy the cells in the source and paste them into the Excel file openned from the WSS List (only highlight one row to paste, it will fill down)
4) You will see vaildation errors (yellow triangles), if there are any, correct them
5) In the menubar go Data --> List --> Sync List
6) You will see a blue status bar fill in the bottom left as data is copied up to the List
Or you can try the below tools

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')

http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

indeed it is just 20 tables and one sequence that i exported from oracle 10g and i want to import it into my oracle express 10g

Hi,
I
1) export the data from your source database XE
C:\WINDOWS\system32>exp userid=USER1@XE1 file=user1.dmp
2) in the target XE database you would have to recreate the same user, e.g. USER1
3) run imp on the same dump file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>imp userid=USER1@xe2 file=user1.dmp full=yes ignore=yes

I need to download data from Oracle data base into a Excel spread sheet

I need to download data from Oracle data base into a Excel spread sheet.
Any input will be appreciated.

Goes something like this:
1) create an ODBC connection (on NT/WIN: ODBC DATA SOURCES in the control panel, create a USER DSN.
2) in EXCEL-menu: DATA->GET EXTERNAL DATA->CREATE NEW QUERY. In the wizzard you will see the DSN created in the previous step. Select that source.
3) follow the wizzard.
Hope this does any good...

Import excel data from OWB10.2

I wanted to import excel data into OWB 10gr2. So i have followed the steps in the attached link. But i cannot perform the operations from step 6 in OWB 10rR2.
In OWB10.2 how could i create a new database link. Inorder to create a new module below ODBC i have to give the location. I cannot create the location.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
Use the following steps to create an ODBC source module and database link:
1. From the Warehouse Builder console, create an ODBC source module. On the
navigation tree, ODBC modules are listed under the Others node of the Databases
node.
2. On the Connection Information page, click New Database Link to create a new
database link that reads data using the data source created. Figure 3–3 shows the
entries used on the New Database Link dialog.
Note: Ensure that the initialization parameter GLOBAL_NAMES is set
to FALSE in the database's initialization parameter file. FALSE is the
default setting for this parameter.
Step 6: Create an ODBC Source Module and a Database Link
3-4 Oracle Warehouse Builder Case Book
Figure 3–3 New Database Link Dialog
Notice that the Oracle Service Name field uses the Oracle system identifier
specified for the agent.
3. Ensure that the Use for Heterogeneous Services option is selected.
Because you are not accessing an Oracle database, you can enter any value for
username and password.
4. Create and test this database link. Close the New Database Link dialog.
5. Leave the Schema name <unspecified>. Click the Change Schema button and
select <unspecified>. The Connection Information page now looks as shown in
Figure 3–4.
Step 8: Create a Mapping to Load Data Into the Target Table
How Do I Load Data Stored in a Microsoft Excel File? 3-5
Figure 3–4 Connection Information Page
6. Create a new deployment location for the module or specify an existing location.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case3.pdf
But i cannot create in OWB10.2.
Can any body suggest me the process.

Gillies,
I am not able to create a new location for ODBC in connection explorer.
Which option should i consider. Should i consider database link or host:port:service or sql*net connection. suppose If i take database link option what is the description i have to enter in database link box. Should i create a database link manually from sql*plus.

I have a new imac21.5 how do I open Appleworks6 Data Base files?

I have a new imac21.5 how do I open Appleworks6 Data Base files? And how do I access Quicken files?

You won't be able to use AppleWorks on that computer. You will need to open your AW database files on an older computer that can run AW6 then export your database files to a standard text format such as CSV or tab-delimited.
You can then import those files into some other database program such as iData 3.1.18.
Quicken does not currently work with Lion but Intuit has announced they will issue a new version sometime this year. You can try using another application that can import Quicken's datafiles or export the data to format other applications can use. Or you can switch to Quicken Essentials that does work with Lion.
