How to import database created in Excel to appropriate fields in a PDF form?

I am trying to use Database created in Excel to fill multiple PDF Visa application forms.
The fields in PDF forms are basically the same except the order of appearance on the
form could be different. However the field names remain the same in all PDF Visa Application forms.
Can anyone make me wiser?
Appreciate all suggestions.
Sajith Panduka

If you export to a tab delimited format and the first row contains the exact field names of the fields in the form (order doesn't matter), then you can import a row of data into the form using Acrobat. You can also automate the process using JavaScript in Acrobat.

How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hello all!
First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

Importing Database, creating datafiles

I have a large import file and the source db had a couple of tablespaces that each contained two datafiles. I am using export and import utilities, not the datapump.
Before I run the import should I create two datafiles in the tablespaces or does import do that automagically for me>

Before I run the import should I create two datafiles in the tablespaces or does import do that automagically for me>It depends on how the export dump was created and if you will use the same directory structure.
If you have an FULL export dump, the dump contains the CREATE TABLESPACE command. However, you will have to perform a FULL import and have the directory structure identical to the source database. If all that holds, importing will create the tablespace. If that does not hold, then you'll have to precreate the tablespace and then do the import.

How to import database to ARIS

Regarding to my university project, i want to import database to ARIS Business Architect 7.0 platform, the databases are .aed file, but i still cannot find the way to do this. As far as i know, ARIS support only import file XML or WDSL only, isn't it?
Do you guys have any experience or information about this, please help me out; Thanks/

Hi,
the standard extension of an ARIS DB File is *.adb
This file can be imported into BPA Suite within the Admin Module. Right click on the Server you want to import the DB in and choose "Restore".
Keep in mind that the ARIS and BPA Meta-Model is only approx. 98% the same. When you have content of the other 2% in your export it will fail.
Also you can have an *.acb file that represents a complete server configuration without data. This file can only be imported via the management console.
Greetings

How To Import Into A Table with Multi-Value Fields

Hello:
I have a table with a multi-value field that contains states in which a company does business. It is multi-value because there can be more than one state. I tried to import a text tab-delimited file in which the data was arranged as follows:
Field1 Tab Field 2 Tab OR, WA, CA Tab
The "State field contained the multiple entries separated by a comma (like they appear in a query of the multi-value field), but it won't accept it. Does anyone know how to import into a multi-value field?
Thanks,

Here's the code I used to populate a multi-value field from a parsed field. The parsing routine could be greatly improved by using the Split function, but at that time, I had not used it yet. FYI... the field name of the multi-value field in
the table was "DBAInStatesMultiValue", which you can see in the example below how it is integrated into the code.

PDF form created from excel is missing fields when copied into word ... sometimes but not others...

Hello,
As part of my dissertation project I have created countless tables in excel. Using the Save as PDF feature on Mac Office Word 2011 I created that tables as PDF's which I dropped into my word document and Cropped them down to size.
For some reason, when I open the word document on the PC, some of the info in the tables is randomly gone. Also, when we send the word file (with embeded PDF's) to a journal for publication they try to combine all the files as a PDF and the tables again lose data.
1) Why is this happening?
2) I also noticed that in Mac Word 2011 I had an option to "Save as Adobe PDF". when I select this option I am given several other options (see below) for the type of PDF that will be created. Which of these options would be ideal to overcome the problem listed above.
high quality print
oversized pages
PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)
PDF/A-1b:2005 (RBG)
PDF/X-1a:2001
PDF/X-3:2002
Smallest File Size
Standard
Thanks,
Paul

Hmm -- one of my customers is a turkish building company
(Kusadasi BTW), and when *they* add some contents to the DB,
they´ll be entering turkish chars. It´s in particular the
turkish "I" which is pretty different, and this is when a search
for keywords containing a western "I" will fail.
Could that be the problem in your case ?

How to create a Picture/Image field in a PDF form ?

Hi,
I'm creating a PDF form including several fields (Text box, Checkbox, radiobuttons,...). My users will enter there personal data in the PDF form and send it back to me (or print it).
I would like to create a special field for picture of the user: The user should be able to select a JPG document on his local computer and drag/copy the picture in this picture-field. The objective is to have the picture of the user in the form he will send (as PDF) or print.
How can I create a field ("Please add your picture here") to allow people with Reader to add a picture in the PDF form ?
Best regards

How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral. We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table. I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
Please help???

What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"? What is the "Pdf structure"?
thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that. Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]
Best regards,
Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.
