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 import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

How to import iTunes XML library into MS Acess database?

I have exported my iTunes data to a library XML file. When I try to import these data to a MS Access database (without the sound files of course) I only get strange and stupid table entries.
I would like to use MS Access to create more flexible reports of my music collection.
Has anyone ever imported iTunes XML files into MS Access successfully?
P.S. An import solution to OpenOffice.org as alternative is also appreciated.

In iTunes, you can "Export Song List" and one of the other options is to export as a text file. This actually creates a comma or tab separated values file, which is a lot easier to import into Microsoft stuff than the XML file is.

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......

How to import multiple DNG files into Premiere

I want to import multiple raw DNG files from a 2.5K blackmagic camera. Each clip is recorded in a separate folder:
I can import each clip separately by selecting its folder and clicking on a DNG file, but -for obvious practical reasons- I would like to import ALL clips at once. However, when I try to do so, Premiere does not import the clips. Instead, it imports each folder, and within them there is not one single clip, but as many clips as DNG files compounded that particular clip. In other words, if the clip had ONE HUNDRED DNG files, Premiere imports that clip ONE HUNDRED times, not just once:
In this image, each file contains the ENTIRE clip, not just a DNG file. Is there a workaround for this? Otherwise, DNG files must be imported one by one, which of course makes the workflow much more difficult.

Jim, when selecting the blackmagic2 level, the only available option is File Directory:
This doesn't happen with RED files, where you can choose between File Directory and RED from the first level. Unlike blackmagic's DNG clips, RED files can be imported all at once, so maybe that's the whole problem:
And yes, Source Settings are available for RED files, whereas they are not for DNG (only basic information, not raw manipulation):

How to Pass Multiple data records into SDATA for a segment

Hi Friends,
I need to Pass data records to Function Module
MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE for Creating Outbound IDOCs
I am Collecting all the Data Records and Passing into the Structure EDIDC.
Here my problem is
For one Route there are Multiple Customer records.
so my First Parent Segment is ZROUTE
i am passing the Datarecord for this Segment.
and for the Customer Segment , I have 5 Customers,
so i am passing the 5 Data records to SDATA .
Loop at gt_route into gw_route.
Pass the Route data into the Data record SDATA
gw_idocdata-sdata    = gw_route_header.
gw_idocdata-segnam = lc_route_header.
gw_idocdata-hlevel = lc_4.
APPEND gw_idocdata TO gt_idocdata.
CLEAR : gw_route_header, gw_idocdata.
Loop at gt_customer into gw_customer
                               where anlage = gw_route-anlage.
Pass the Customer data into the Data record SDATA
gw_idocdata-sdata = gw_customer.
gw_idocdata-segnam = lc_customer.
gw_idocdata-hlevel = lc_5.
APPEND gw_idocdata TO gt_idocdata.
CLEAR : gw_customer, gw_idocdata.
ENDLOOP
ENDLOOP.
So this customer segment is comming 5 times in my IDOC
Can any one suggest me whether i am going in correct way or not.
I am Getting the IDOC status 26.
Error during syntax check of IDoc (outbound)
I think it is because the IDOC is not yet SET RELEASE.
But i am having the Dought in Passing the data to SDATA fied
of the EDIDC Structure.
Can any one Suggest me.
Thanks in Advance,
Ganesh

Hi,
First of all EDIDC is the control record, EDID4 is the data record. When collecting customer record into idoc_data you need to insert customer's parent segment number.
Eg.
route1, segnum 1.
   child 1, segnum 2 and parent segnum = 1
   child 2, segnum 3 and parent segnum = 1
   child 3, segnum 4 and parent segnum = 1
route 2, segnum 5
   child 1, segnum 6 and parent segnum = 5
   child 2, segnum 7 and parent segnum = 5
   child 3, segnum 8 and parent segnum = 5
Cheers.

How to import multiple XML schemas in Toplink.

Hi All,
I try to import multiple Schema(defined by EPCGlobal) in toplink This schema imports few other schemas and all are available in the same location.
For this I tried to create a project by selecting XML radio button, and specified an XSD. The classes are getting generated for this file. After this, I try to import all other schema's using the Import schema option. I'm able to import it. but, I'm not able to generate classes for the schemas imported recently. Can you please let me know whether this is the expected behaviour..?
Alternatively, I try to import a Schema(defined by EPCGlobal) in toplink through a TopLink-Jaxb Project. But I get the following exception..

As I'm struck with this problem, please throw some light in this regard.
Thanks
Rajasekaran

Rajasekaran,
I have examined your XML schemas and do not believe that the problem is due to the import. Instead it is because the XML schema being imported is itself invalid. I have emailed you the specific correction to your XML schema. It was an error related to the namespace qualification of the type in one of your element declarations.

How to import premier xml file into FCP X?

Hi There,
Premier has an export to "Final Cut Pro XML" option but how do you import these files into FCP X?
If I navigate from within FCP X, the file is greyed out and if I right click from the finder and open in FCP X I see the error:
The document “V1-0008_M07-1538.mov.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “XML text” format.
I'm using FCP 10.1.1 and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Looks like this is the only option: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7tox-for-final-cut-pro/id496926258?ls=1&mt=12

How to import an XML element into a loop parameter is XSL

Hi,
We are using XSL template to generate output in a pdf format. The input in an XML file. In the XSL we have a loop. Currently the initial and final value of the loop counter is hardcoded in the xsl file.
<xsl:call-template name="forloop">
     <xsl:with-param name="i">1</xsl:with-param>
     <xsl:with-param name="count">6</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Down below we are using
     <xsl:template name="forloop">
          <xsl:param name="i"/>
          <xsl:param name="count"/>
          <xsl:if test="$i <=$count">
               <fo:table-row>
               <xsl:call-template name="forloop">
                    <xsl:with-param name="i">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$i + 1"/>
                    </xsl:with-param>
etc, etc.
Query :
Currently the final value of the loop is hardcoded to 6. I want to set its value based of an element BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM value (which can be either 0 or 6) of the XML File.
<LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<BAR_CODE_PRINT>Y</BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM>6</BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM>
</G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
</LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
Can anyone please tell me how this is to be done. I have tried the following but it did not work.
Approach 1 :
<xsl:if test="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM > 3">
     <xsl:with-param name="count">6</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM < 3">
     <xsl:with-param name="count">0</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:if>
Approach 2 :
<xsl:with-param name="count"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM"/>
</xsl:with-param>
Thanks

I have managed to resolve it. It was a problem with the nesting of the attribute. The following worked
<xsl:with-param name="count"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="/NUMNEWJOBCARD/LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM"/></xsl:with-param>

How to import the xml file into bcc?

My input file to atg is xml which contain category or products assets.
I want the scheduler to run in such a way that it should auto create a project and send an email to client for approval.
When the client approves the xml file,then run the scheduler to input the xml file datas into bcc.
i will be using : SingletonSchedulableService for this
Give me a guidance for the same.
Thanks in advance.

I want to implement this in bcc.
Which listener will listen for the approval of the client for the email (which contains the xml to import)we sent to him?
You would have to do custom development to hook your custom workflow with the inbound email. For sending email notifications the action is already there and while creating its element in ACC you can specify a JSP for the email template. You may refer following relevant documentation:
Oracle ATG Web Commerce - Workflows
Oracle ATG Web Commerce - Workflow Action Elements
I recommend to refer the existing DeploymentEmailer source in <ATG>\Publishing\samples\Java and see different DeploymentEvent types and states can be used based on your requirement in your custom component. Also refer these API javadocs to know about the available deployment events and process:
DeploymentEvent (ATG Java API)
DeploymentServer (ATG Java API)
ATG does have a /atg/dynamo/service/POP3Service component to retrieve mails from a POP3 e-mail server but it is primarily used for detecting the bounced email. Not too sure if it would help or fit in your case but still you can go through about its details to know what is already there:
Oracle ATG Web Commerce - Bounced E-mail
You may also refer to the InboundEmail event and API javadocs for InboundEmailMessage which are used in this bounced email detection feature:
Oracle ATG Web Commerce - InboundEmail Event
InboundEmailMessage (ATG Java API)
Now based on all this, if you extend and customize a lot of things it would be bit complex and tedious to detect the inbound approval mail based on its content and then advance your workflow. Another approach can be to put a URL in the mail template of your notification email which the approver would have to click and on the landing page you can authenticate and advance your custom workflow as required.

How to Import Multiple Image Sequences into - Premiere 'Pro'

Hi ;-)
1) I added a bug report about this 4 years ago -- Is this STILL not possible ;-))))
I have 200 Sequences sitting each in its own folder. As of now - then year of the Lord 2014, I have to physically select each folder and add them one by one...
This is almost funny...
Perhaps I am missing the extreme obvious --- Either that or Premiere Pro is.
Any Help is greatly appreciate
Thanks

Jim, when selecting the blackmagic2 level, the only available option is File Directory:
This doesn't happen with RED files, where you can choose between File Directory and RED from the first level. Unlike blackmagic's DNG clips, RED files can be imported all at once, so maybe that's the whole problem:

Use XSU to store in multiple tables.
"XSU can only store data in a single table. You can store XML across tables, however, by using the Oracle XSLT processor to transform a document into multiple documents and inserting them separately. You can also define views over multiple tables and perform insertions into the views. If a view is non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to perform the inserts."
