How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form  is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout.  Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

  • How does one log out of itunes?

    How does one log out of itunes on the iphone?

    You don't, just exit the application.
    If you are planning on letting your children play with it wait 15 minutes before handing it to them and any purchases will require the password to be entered.
    And go into Restrictions and turn inapp purchases off.

  • How can I take out all my HealthVault data?

    As titled, how can I take out all my HealthVault data?

    Hi,
    I'm assuming by "take out" you mean you want to save copies of your data to keep outside of HealthVault.
    In general, you want to use the Export feature. Find it by going to the Health Information page, then in the "More actions" menu, choose "Export information." If you're trying to send the data to another system, then you'll probably want to choose CCD or
    CCR format. If you are keeping records for yourself, HTML would be the human-readable format. The different formats behave differently, so I'd recommend checking that the exported file contains the data you want.
    After you export, then you'll want to go into the Files section of the Health Information page and download the files you want to keep. This will be especially important for files that came from a doctor, hospital, pharmacy, or lab.
    If you want to close your HealthVault account, make sure you've got all the data you want before you close the account. By the way, if by "take out" the data you meant "delete" the data, when you close your account the data will be deleted from HealthVault
    as per the Privacy Statement.
    Hope this helps,
    Kathy

  • How can i control NI-6115 to collect data from 2 channels and save as 2 files?

    I want to program NI-6115 card to collect data from 2 channels and save the two data into two different filenames that i specified?
    How do i write in labview codes?

    Calibur,
    LabVIEW includes a number of examples that demonstrate how to acquire analog input data and write it to disk. Dependent upon the type of file you would like to use, I would suggest that you examine one of the following examples:
    Cont Acq to File (binary).vi
    Cont Acq to File (scaled).vi
    Cont Acq to Spreadsheet File.vi
    With regards to writing each channel's data to a separate file, you will need to use the Index Array function to generate two 1-D arrays, each containing data for one channel. These arrays can then be written to separate files using two Write File functions.
    Good luck with your application.

  • How do I strip out all HTML tags except for safe ones I designate?

      // FLAG ALL INCIDENTS OF LEGITIMATE TAGS BY CONVERTING <..> TO <!..!>
      for (int i = 0; i < parseVector.size(); i++) {
       this.content =
        this.content.replaceAll("<(/?)(" + (String)parseVector.elementAt(i) + "[\\s\\t=]+[^>]*)>",
                       "\\<!$1$2!\\>");
      }I have a Vector of HTML string text consisting of things like:
    {"i", "b", "u", "blockquote", "font"}
    And within this.content, which contains HTML, I want to strip out all HTML except for certain "safe" tags.
    Problem is, my code fails to do just that.. while <img..> is gone, so is <i> and I want to keep the latter.
    I feel the problem is in my regular expression pattern within this.content.replaceAll() method, but maybe I'm wrong. What do you say?
    Entire code can be found in http://www.myjavaserver.com/~ppowell/HTMLParser.java
    Thanx
    Phil

    Let me give you an example of what I want:
    I understand what you want... I don't see how the code that you posted is supposed to that.
    The best advice I can give is that a for loop is not part of the equation here. You will need to do it in one regex I think. Because if what you are doing there is saying replace all the tags that aren't <i> on one loop and replace all the tags that are not <b> in another loop guess what is happening?
    On the first pass you don't replace the <i> tags but you do replace the <b> tags. On the next pass you replace <i> tags because they don't match the <b> etc.
    You see?
    So I think you need to do this all in one regex where the starting portion of the tag is NOT one of the set that you want to keep.

    I noticed the CSS Style settings only seem to work if using a "Standard Report Column". Unfortunately I have the need to define some report columns where undesired wrapping occurs as "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" and tried to avoid wrapping, but no luck - is there a way around this (other than performing the report query using a huge DECODE clause, which somewhat renders the LOV useless except for data entry)?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas,

  • How do you strip out certain groups of characters from a String variable

    for exapmle...
    String date = "11-Feb-2005";
    String day;
    String month;
    String year;
    how would you strip out '11' from date to assign it to 'day', and 'Feb' to assign it to 'month' and '2005' to assign it to 'year'.
    in my program the variable 'date' will always be in the format of:
    ist two digits are numbers followed by '-'
    then three digits (letters) followed by '-'
    then four digits that are numbers.
    i think it has something got to do with charAt or something, im not sure how to do it.
    any ideas?

    yea i tried the first method and it works fine.
    thanks very much.
    also... i tried the other one and it outputs... 11 1 2005
    which means it works but you see i wanted to put the date in the format of...
    Calendar date = new GregorianCalendar(2005, Calendar.FEBRUARY, 11); so i can compare it to another Calender object to see which one is earlier.
    that is why i am doing it like this...
    Calendar date = new GregorianCalendar(+ year + ", Calendar." + month + ", " + day);
    for example...
    Calendar xmas = new GregorianCalendar(1998, Calendar.DECEMBER, 25);
    Calendar newyears = new GregorianCalendar(1999, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
    // Determine which is earlier
    boolean b = xmas.after(newyears); // false
    b = xmas.before(newyears); // true
    anyways i am just curious.

  • How does one prevent a column in a database from being visable to end users

    I have a password column I would like to hide by default from any one with query access. How does one do this?

    If you're on 10G you can use encryption.
    First create a wallet en create the master encryption key with:
    alter system set encryption key identified by "<secretpwd>";
    Then you can encrypt a column in a table with the command:
    alter table <tablename> modify <column> encrypt;
    If the wallet is open you can query the column. If the wallet is closed you cannot query the column ....

  • How to add "Prepare Data" from a web service to the form

    Hello,
    Can any one please advise on how to add the "Prepare Data" process from the existing web service and have the form to pre-populate the data from this "Prepare Data" process instead of using schema xsd. I heard that this is an alternative or may be a better way to pre-populate data in ES2/ES3 to avoiding creating a data source in Form Designer. I try to find a sample on Adobe site but could not find one, most of them are using schema.
    Any guidance or URL to the sample would be helpful.

  • How does one log out of MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto '09?

    I need to erase all personal data from an office Mac laptop.  I've been able to successfully log out of MobileMe in System Preferences, but I cannot "log out" of my MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto.  I'm running iPhoto '09 and it continues to my MobileMe Gallery photos in the sidebar.  I've followed some of the other suggestions (trying to sign in to MobileMe with a fake name and password), but the MobileMe Gallery photos still appear in iPhoto.
    I'm running 10.6.8
    iPhoto '09 8.1.2

    I'm sorry, but none of this has worked.  I still want to keep my MobileMe Gallery.  I just don't want the photos displayed on this particular MacBook Pro since it belongs to my office. 
    There are no folders in the sidebar.  There are no photos in the Library.  All I have is the subheading "MobileMe Gallery" and a list of all the albums in my gallery.  If I click on any of them, I get an error message "an error occurred with the publication of album... Your MobileMe account information is not correct..."
    I've logged out of MobileMe in System Prefs.  So, why would the MobileMe Gallery even show up in iPhoto?
    Also, in iPhoto Prefs, there is no tab for syncing.
    I've deleted preferences for iPhoto.  I don't know what else to do.

  • How does one find out the database name , service name in a database

    hi,
    how do u find out the database name , service name , SID in a database.
    Please reply.
    Thanks ,
    Regards,
    RC

    This particular information is available in the view V_$PARAMETER owned by SYS. But you can also login with Server Manager as user INTERNAL and run:
    SHOW PARAMETERS
    The entries pertaining to the naming of the database are:
    1. db_name
    2. db_domain
    3. db_name
    4. instance_name
    5. service_names
    GLOBAL_NAME is a static (not changing) Data Dictionary view which has just 1 attribute (column) called GLOBAL_NAME.
    When you run:
    select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
    You are returned the full global name of the database, i.e. the db_name and the db_domain joined together by dot (.) For e.g. if your db_name = mgmt and db_domain = tech.co.in, then your global_name will be MGMT.TECH.CO.IN.

  • How does one prevent unathorized iPhone or iPad data sync

    It has come to my attention that syncing an iPad or iPhone is relatively easy. So, here is my question, let's say my iPhone or iPad was stolen or maybe "barrowed" by someone and that person decides to sync the data from the iPhone or iPad to there Mac or PC laptops? Now all my information, such as contacts, notes, etc, contained in the iPhone or iPad is synced and transfered to the other persons computer. Even if my device was not stolen, if a person wanted to sync my important data form my iPhone or IPad is possible thus my data would be stolen. This type of data breech could happen at work, home, conventions, hotel rooms, etc... Yes, I know you can do remote wipe-out of data, assuming that you have noticed the thief or your device being "barrowed". So, is there a lock-out to prevent unathorized syncing of data from iPhone or iPad device? I was hoping for a setting that required an access code prior to syncing data, but no such setting exist. Before answering this question please read carefully what I am asking. Thanks.

    A passcoded iPhone running iOS4 will not sync with a new computer until the passcode is entered into the phone. You do not need the erase function to be activated for the data to be protected.
    I am looking for a way to prevent other accounts on the same mac from being able to sync with my iphone. It seems once you have authorized the iphone on a mac it allows all accounts to access the iphone through iTunes and iPhone Explorer.
    Does anyone know how to remove the iPhone/Mac syncing permission once it has been granted?
