How to flatten a Heirarchy

Hai, The End-user doesnt want a Hierarchy but a flat table out of a Heirarchy so I want to know where and how I can loop through a Hierarchy table to create a flat structure.
Please let me know if you have any standard FMs that can do that?
At what stage should I program in BW?

HI,

  • How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Is there a feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro similar to that in Bluebeam that allows the user to "flatten" the pdf? What this means is that images, text boxes and other additions to the pdf become seamlessly integrated into the pdf, guaranteeing they will display on other users' computers and when printed.

    I did try to open the resulting PDF to see if the fields/annotations were flattened. How would I know if they were flattened?
    The images I added get a thin blue border around them and become shaded when I click on them after flattening.
    Before flattening, they get a thin blue border with squares on each corner to drag, change size, etc.
    Does this mean they were successfully flattened?
    I do not understand this: “I just tried with Preflight (Acrobat 9) and it made all of the check boxes selected when it flattened them.” What check boxes are you referring to?
    Please see the below window. Is that where I am supposed to be? If so, am I supposed to click “Analyze and Fix” or do something else?
    Philip Jones in post 15 suggested “Selecting All then use the Flattening.” However, that makes no difference for me.

  • How to flatten a pdf?

    Hi!
    I've exported a pdf from Indesign CS5 and it is spliing into lots of separate objects when viewed in Acrobat pro. I can select lots of objects with the touch up object tool.
    The Indesign file uses lots of images and text with various effects (drop shadows etc) which is obviously making the file complex and Acrobat is splitting it up.
    Is there anyway of flattening the pdf in Acrobat so that it is 1 combined image and not made up of lots of parts?

    That's how PDF files work - page content is optimized into objects based on type and position. You can merge fragments of bitmap images using the tools in Preflight, but you cannot combine other types of page element.
    "Flattening" has a special meaning in PDF, it refers to the process of turning annotations (comments and markup) into page objects. It has no effect on the way a page is stored within the file structure.

  • How to 'flatten' interactive forms with Fixed Pages?

    I have a large project I am working on that is automating the population of forms with strict layouts. (Provided by State governments for licensing requirements). I have the need to generate flattened version, or image of the document as one of the last steps of the process. The final step is to use "Insert Pages" to include into the newly created PDF, other PDFs that were attachments to the original document. These would include employment histories, Residential histories, etc. all are in PDF format.
    The current method is to print the main document to "Adobe PDF", and save the file as a PDF to the file system. This newly saved PDF will accept Inserted pages as it is no longer deemed interactive with Fixed Pages, where the original with Fixed Pages will not accept insertions.
    I have not been able to find a way of doing this via Javascript.
    My goal is to find a way to flatten or image the document, then insert the attachments into the main document to create one compound instrument that records the licensure filing, and can be printed off and sent to the government, and retained for proof of filing.
    Any ideas of how to replicate the print to "Adobe PDF" function and retain a handle to the new document object would be greatly appreciated. The fileName feature on the print method seems to be limited to ".ps", and ".prn" extensions.
    Thank You
    Mark

    I have not been able to Add Pages to a form that has Fixed Pages - either through the UI, or JavaScript. Options are greyed out in the UI.
    Could you expand on what you mean by "You can set the Designer properties to Print Form"?
    Thanks

  • How to flatten a fillable form on iOS

    Ever since the latest iOS update, our fillable reader extended PDF's are not working properly in the Reader App. I created fillable forms and save as a "reader extended" file. When we open the file on the Reader App, we can fill in the form and sign, but when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email. We use this feature for mobile devices to sign contracts on site vs. going on a laptop. If I open a normal PDF file, a non fillable form, I can email the original or flattended copy from the reader app but this is not needed on a normal PDF. How can I share the flattened copy of a fillable form from the reader app on the iPhone/iPAD? Is this issue going to be resolved or are there settings I need to change in the PDF file before saving it for reader extended?

    This is a duplicate post by the same user.

  • How to: Flatten Adobe PDF Portfolio containing email and attachments

    How do you flatten an Adobe PDF Portfolio in Adobe XI Pro.  The Portfolio contains emails with various attachments.  I need to produce a single PDF with all emails and attachments as "images/pages" (as they would appear when printed).  Attachments need to follow their corresponding email in order.  All links, metadata, etc. will be stripped out and various text redactions applied to the final PDF.

  • How to flatten ID pdf?

    I've had trouble with my .pdf files not being flattened to one layer after exporting from ID CS4. I have to open them in PS and hit flatten image or I get shadows around some of the text. How can I flatten the layers before exporting?  Thanks!

    Ok Ed. It's best if you post the pdf somewhere for someone to look at to best direct you.
    It's clear you don't know some of the terms that are used, which is fine.
    The information you have given us is not near enough to give real feedback on the problem.
    From the reason that the printer gave you (or the reason that you posted that the printer couldn't use the pdf) seems to me that the printer didn't really know how to fix the problem either.
    Not having a go at you or your printer. But if you can't tell us what compatibility level you used in making the pdf or what "set to overprint" means it would be very hard to instruct you further.
    That's why we need to see the PDF to work out what is going on.
    That way we can help you understand it better. At the moment, you can't answer the questions we need answered to help you. So it's best if someone examines the PDF and then give you tips on how to avoid this in the future.

  • How to flatten Quicktime movie?

    I have Quicktime 7 Pro. I used it to overlay an arrow image on top of my movie, and saved. I then emailed the movie to someone and discovered that when played, it keeps looking for the resource (the image that is on there) - apparently the arrow image is not included in the QT file I sent (which is weird because I deleted the image off my system, and still the movie shows the arrow on my computer, so it must have it somewhere else??). How do I "flatten" the movie file so that everything is in there and I can send that one file to others and they will see exactly what I see when I play the movie here? I tried the program "Lillipot" to flatten it and it didn't work - arrow still not visible in other players (although QT no longer complains about not being able to find it) - it deleted it maybe? I just want a self-contained movie file that has exactly what I see here. What's the right way to save/export/convert that?

    Did you try saving it as a self-contained movie? That's one of the options.

  • How to flatten without losing layer effects' "looks"

    I am working on a client project involving photoshop files, each containing lots of layers and a fair amount of layer effects...things like drop shadow, glow, bevel, etc.
    I am not having luck flattening these images (which I need to do) without losing the look of the original.
    For example, the shadows might be there, but they aren't as dark, or the glows might not be as bright.
    I am using CS4 for Mac OS X, and this vendor used a Windows version of photoshop, but I don't know which version.
    thanks for any ideas!

    Christoph,
    >just to make sure: With »flatten« You do mean reduce to the background layer and not just reducing the file-complexity by merging groups or such?
    That terminology
    ("reduce to the background layer") is not used in the English version of Photoshop. Not even
    "reduce". :)
    The menu item labeled "Auf die Hintergrundebene Reduzieren" (oder so was ähnliches) in German is labeled with a single word in English:
    Flatten.
    I know how hard it is to refer to specifics in a version in a different language when you don't have it available. It's not a question of just translating the word. "Layers" in the German version are not
    layers at all but
    planes (»Ebenen«, nicht »Schichten«). Took me a few seconds to figure that one out when I started out to learn Photoshop. :)
    The concept of "Reducing" is not used in the English version at all. "Sichtbare Ebenen auf eine Ebene reduzieren" is simply
    Merge Visible.

  • How to flatten sparse table records?

    We have an application that (unfortunately) stores its data in a "long thin" name-value style format, which we then have to pivot into "wide" records for outputs. We're aiming to do this with materialised views, but want to take advantage of partition change tracking to refresh the views, which imposes some restrictions on how we build our views. In particular, we cannot use sub-queries or analytical functions to fully flatten the data into output records.
    Right now, our pivoted materialized views produce something like the following:
    Record Key | Date Created | Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | etc
    REC01 | 01-JAN-2010 | A | B | | ...
    REC01 | 04-JAN-2010 | | C | D | ...
    What we need is to flatten these records so that there is only one record with a given Record Key, and having only the most recent non-NULL value for each ColumnN e.g.:
    Record Key | Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | etc
    REC01 | A | C | D | ...
    The problem is that there can be hundreds of ColumnN columns, may be many separate update-records for a given Record Key (and potentially millions of different Record Keys), so I'm having trouble working out how to do this (a) efficiently or indeed (b) at all.
    We can't just use the latest Date Created, because we may need to look at a different Date Created for each column. Because the MV needs to be PCT-capable, it seems we cannot use a sub-query to fetch only the latest value for each ColumnN before pivoting the data, and I can't see how to apply a group or analytical function to do this reliably on the wide records in the pivoted view.
    What we need is a kind of FLATTEN() OVER (PARTITION BY RecordKey ORDER BY DateCreated DESC) function, but Oracle seems sadly lacking in this respect. Or am I missing something?
    Looking at the data, it looks like it should be a pretty simple, but my SQL-brain is running out of juice, so if anybody else can suggest how to approach this, I'd be very grateful.
    thanks,
    Chris

  • How does flatten to string work with arrays?

    Hi all,
    I'm currently trying to get my head around how flatten to string works in terms of using it to write a configuration file which is loaded on startup in my VI. Writing and loading the configuration file is no problem and it is working beautifully. However... this is for a data acquisition system and the configuration file stores all the calibration data in the system which is entered through arrays. Anyway, the data recorded by my VI is to be post processed using MATLAB and needs to apply the calibration data stored in the configuration file.
    So I've been trying to work out how to get MATLAB to decypher the configuration file, but... I can't make heads or tails as to how the data is written into the file. I made a mock up of the saving file routine as you can see below, and run it a number of times by changing the input array dimensions and the values.
    Then opened the saved file to see if I can find a pattern... but I can't! Simply changing the element values changes the number of "\   \'s" Here is what I produced from my trials:
    [1x1 0]
    Config=\00\00\00\01\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00      (1x1 array of 0's)
    [1x1 1]
    Config=\00\00\00\01?ð\00\00\00\00\00\00            (1x1 array of 1's)

    [1x2 0]

    There are optional inputs to "flatten to string" That you can use to modify the outcome as needed. For example you can do little endian.
    You can also omit the array size from the flattened data (definitely not recommended for 2D arrays).

  • How to Flatten/Print to PDF Multiple PDF Forms at Once?

    Hi all! I receive multiple PDF forms per day. I file these forms electronically by using "print to Adobe PDF" (which flattens all the form fields). Is there a way to "print to Adobe PDF" multiple files at one? OR is there some other way to flatten form fields on multiple files at once? If I "combine supported files in Acrobat" the answers in the form fields of the first file auto-populate through all the other form fields in the additional files I combine.
    I'm on a PC.

    There are much better ways of flattening a form than by printing it via the PDF printer. This utility for example can help you with that task:
    http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
    If you have Acrobat Pro then you can use a simple Action to flatten multiple files. Just have it execute the following JavaScript code:
    this.flattenPages();

  • How to flatten the described input?

    Hello everyone.  I have a question that may or may not be a simple one as I don't know much about Powershell.
    Here goes:  I use the ActiveDirectory module mainly to discover user accounts by name and to discover group membership.  My most used command chain is this:
    Get-ADUser -Filter 'cn -like "*first*last*"' | Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership | ? { $_.name -like '*mds*' } | sort name | ft Name
    That works just fine, but I also need to run afterwards the Get-ADUser command usually to get the SamAccountName as well as the EmailAddress properties.  So I was thinking:  How can I get a formatted table outputting the SamAccountName, EmailAddress
    and the sought-for group membership?  Something like this:
    SamAccountName EmailAddress Name
    usersUserName [email protected] Group Name containing MDS in its name
    usersUserName [email protected] Group Name containing MDS in its name
    usersUserName [email protected] Group Name containing MDS in its name
    I want this for the purpose specified and to make sure I am looking at results for a single AD account.

    Cheers, you're welcome. You can do what you're after by using a param block like so:
    test.ps1:
    param(
    [string]
    $FName,
    [string]
    $LName
    Get-ADUser -Filter "cn -like '*$FName*$LName*'" -Properties EmailAddress | ForEach {
    $username = $_.SamAccountName
    $emailAddress = $_.EmailAddress
    Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $username |
    Where { $_.Name -like '*mds*' } |
    Select @{N='SamAccountName';E={$username}},@{N='EmailAddress';E={$emailAddress}},Name |
    Sort Name
    Usage:
    .\test.ps1 -FName first -LName last
    Right now neither of the two input parameters are mandatory, so you can use either of them to meet your needs.

  • How to flatten keyword hierarchy?

    For about a year I had all my keywords organized into a nice hierarchy, but after moving projects between libraries and computers my keywords are in chaos because keyword hierarchy information is not included in exported projects. I have keywords repeated with one nested in a folder and its copy sitting at the top level (with photos assigned to both).
    After seeing what a mess moving projects causes, I'd like to eliminate the hierarchies and just keep a flat list. Does anyone know of a way to flatten the structure without having to drag each keyword out of its folder? I tried deleting the Keywords.plist file, but it gets rebuilt with the hierarchy intact. Any help is appreciated!

    One thing that might be a factor is the way Aperture keeps keywords active even if you move or delete them in the keywords list.
    In order to have control over your keyword list, you need to delete existing keywords from your images. As Steve Weller points out in his articles, Aperture keeps keyword information in several places, not just the keyword list, and you need to deal with all of the places in order to control the hierarchy of the keyword list. For example, if you have set up custom keyword buttons, they store the keyword in the hierarchy of the time the button was created, so each time you use the button, you are making Aperture "remember" the hierarchy, even if you have later moved the keyword.
    But your issue is that you have many images using keywords. When a keyword is used in an image, it is stored with the image; Aperture remembers the hierarchy of the keyword. This means that if you later move that keyword in the keyword list, Aperture considers the moved keyword to be separate and independent of the keyword previously used with an image. You can see this in the smart album display of keywords, which is based on actually used keywords. If you are having this problem, then keywords will appear more than once in the smart album keyword list. If you want to keep the same spelling of a keyword that has been moved in the keyword list, the only solution I know of is, frankly, a bit tedious:
    1. use the smart album to select all images using the unwanted version of the keyword
    2. then assign an "intermediate" (not identically spelled) keyword to those images,
    3. then delete the unwanted version of the keyword from the images (use the keyword field in the control bar; option-tilde or click on the field, then type the name of the unwanted keyword, then shift-return to delete the keyword)
    4. then assign the new version of the keyword to the images
    5. then delete the intermediate keyword
    Good luck!
