How to generate multiple "gift certificate" pdfs with unique serial #s

I am a new Acrobat user (have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro) and poked around a bit to see if I could find out how to do this, but found nothing.
I assume this has been done before and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Here's what I am trying to do:
1. I currently have a pdf doc with a field for a unique serial # (let's call the doc a "Gift Certificate" for simplicity, though that's not quite what it is).
2. I want to generate multiple pdf files, say 100 of them, based on this original Gift Certificate, but with each one having a unique serial # in the appropriate field, say starting at ser # 1001, and running through to ser # 1100.
3. I want to be able to save each of these new files on a hard drive - not outputting them to a printer (though this might come in handy in the future too).
Is this something I can do in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9? I looked at the Batch Processing tool, but that didn't seem to have any ability to create new files.
Or do I need a plug-in? Or a separate software altogether?
Any help for this novice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
keith

Problem solved.
Forum member try67 wrote me a script, complete with simple installation instructions.
It works perfectly right out of the box. Great stuff!!!
Wish it always worked that way.

How to generate a local file pdf with reports 11g

I want to generate a local pdf file to print it with client_host

I think using report builder can't support pdf output,...All of our reports are PDF output so Reports 11g definately supports this format.
I'm a little confused by your request, however. If your user has your PDF report displayed in a browser window - can't they just click the "Save" button in Acrobat Reader to save the report to their computer?
Is your user wanting to bypass this step and have the report generated and saved automatically to their computer? If this is what you want to do, then Francois's suggestion is the way to proceed. You will be using the WebUtil library to transfer the file to the client computer. This means, you will need to complete the configuration of the WebUtil library on your application server before you can use any of the WebUtil methods.
If you are new to WebUtil, I recommend you search the Forms Help on "Webutil" and review the following articles:
Configuring WebUtil
Runtime Setup Checklist
These first two articles give you step-by-step instructions for completing the WebUtil configuration on your application server.
Using WebUtil in Your Appilcations - This article will demonstrate how to implement WebUtil in a Form.
Hope this helps,

How to UPDATE multiple rows in T1 with unique value from T2

Hi,
having on mind update query with where clause:
WHERE (SELECT LEFT(ColumnName,7) FROM tblName) = emp2.ColumnName
error:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.
What am I suppose to change in WHERE clause....
Note: there is always unique value in T2 while, in T1, there could be both, only one value to be updated or number of them that all need to be updated with that unique value from T2 (alias emp2)
T1
T2
colimn1          column2               column3        column4
001A001A       string1                001A001       string10
001A001B        string2                001A005      string20
001B005A        string3
001B005B        string4
001B005C    string5
should become:
T1
colimn1          column2
001A001A       string10
001A001B        string10
001B005A        string20
001B005B        string20
001B005C    string20
UPDATET1
SET column2 = emp2.column4
FROM T2 as emp2
    WHERE (SELECT LEFT(column1,7) FROM T1 = emp2.column3

Hi daredevil3011,
Based on my test, the error is caused by where statement in the query. Just as the error message, in your where statement, there is a subquery “SELECT LEFT(ColumnName,7) FROM tblName” follows ”=”, this is not permitted in SQL Server.
To fix this issue, please modify your query to like below:
UPDATE T1
SET column2 = emp2.column4
FROM T2 as emp2
WHERE LEFT(column1,7) = emp2.column3
Reference:
WHERE (Transact-SQL)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to generate a report in pdf from a stored proc

Hi, i need guidance on how to generate a report in pdf from an oracle stored proc.
The environment is oracle 10gas + 10gdb.
On a specific event, a PL/SQL stored procedure is called to do some processing and at the end of the processing to generate report which has to be sent to the printer (and optionally previewed by the user).
Can anyone assist me with this?

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?

Hi. Everybody:
How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?
The first csv file is easy (report attributes -> report export -> enable CSV output Yes). However, our users demand 2 csv files with different report columns selected to meet their different needs.
(The users don't want to have one csv file with all report columns included. They just want to get whatever they need directly, no extra columns)
Thank you for any help!
MZ

Hello,
I'm doing it usually. Typically example would be in the report only the column "FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME" displayed whereas
in the csv exported with the UTL_FILE the complete address (street, housenumber, additions, zip, town, state ... ) is written, these things are needed e.g. the form letters.
You do not need another page, just an additional button named e.g. "export_to_csv" on your report page.
The csv export itself is handled from a plsql procedure "stored procedure" ( I like to have business logic outside of apex) which is invoked by pressing the button "export_to_csv". Of course the stored procedure can handle also parameters
An example code would be something like
PROCEDURE srn_brief_mitglieder (
     p_start_mg_nr IN NUMBER,
     p_ende_mg_nr IN NUMBER
AS
export_file          UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_line               VARCHAR2(20000);
l_lfd               NUMBER;
l_dateiname          VARCHAR2(100);
l_datum               VARCHAR2(20);
l_hilfe               VARCHAR2(20);
CURSOR c1 IS

MG_NR

,MG_STRASSE ,MG_HNR ,MG_ZUSATZ ,MG_PLZ ,MG_ORT
FROM MITGLIEDER
WHERE MG_NR >= p_start_mg_nr
AND MG_NR <= p_ende_mg_nr
--WHERE ROWNUM < 10
ORDER BY MG_NR;
BEGIN
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'yyyy_mm_dd' ) INTO l_datum FROM DUAL;
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'hh24miss' ) INTO l_hilfe FROM DUAL;
l_datum := l_datum||'_'||l_hilfe;
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( l_datum);
l_dateiname := 'SRNBRIEF_MITGLIEDER_'||l_datum||'.CSV';
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( l_dateiname);

How to generate a SSL certificate for Adobe Connect?

My organization uses adobe connect across the internet and we
would like to enable SSL on the server. I have instructions for
enabling SSL once a CSR is generated, but I do not know how to
actually generate the CSR using Adobe Connect.
Any info on how to generate a SSL CSR would be great,
thanks.

There is no 'built-in' method in Connect to do this. We used
a open-source product called OpenSSL to generate our CSR file for
Connect. Just Google OpenSSL and download/install it (it's free).
Then use something like this command for creating a cert:
openssl
req -new -key <exisiting private key file> -out <csr
file you want to make>
Example:
OpenSSL> req -new -key privatekey.pem -out connectcert.csr
After you get the new certificate from the CA, put in
d:\breeze directory. Then update the adaptor.xml file with the new
cert name (make sure backup the existing file).
Make sure you REBOOT the server to enable changes! Simply
restarting services will not work.
Hope this helps!

How to generate a new predefined PDF from certain form data?

Hi,
I want to create a form (in either Word or PDF) with diffrerent sections for people to fill out. I then want them to easily turn some of the data from the form into a new predefined PDF template.
For example, I have created a case study form for academics to complete. Then i'd like them to be able to generate an actual case study that they can distribute. The case study will be a predefined template that only needs to contain certain data from the form. Some of the sections on the form will be for internal purposes only.
How can i do this? I have Abobe Pro, but not everyone does.
Thanks
Kellie

This type if thing is fairly easy to do for people who have Acrobat since the form data can be readily exported from one PDF and imported into another, but this isn't an option with Reader. There are methods you can use to easily copy data from one form to another with Reader, but it relies on JavaScript programming in both of the forms. If this sounds like something you want to pursue, post again and I can provide some guidance.

how to handle multiple connection with l2cap protocol in j2me
sorry,
I'm a new programmer in j2me
thanks all...

Please stick with the original thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5200413&tstart=0
Cross-posting is very rude, and JSch has nothing to do with JSSE, directly. It is an SSH2 API. It does (AFAIK) use some parts of JSSE, but those parts are definately not your problem.
You already have answers in the other thread.
