How to make a single PDF file with pages for each Invoice (XML/XPD)

I appologize, this is my first time doing this so try not to assume too much when responding.
I have designed an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and have it properly connected to an XPD feed that is dynamically created with PHP. When the user opens the URL, the invoice they selected shows up perfectly in the PDF. Yeah!!!
Now the problem, they want to have multiple invoices show up in the PDF as their own "pages" in a single PDF document. Page 1 = Invoice 1001, Page 2 = Invoice 1002...etc.
The XML scheme is something like the following. A single header with a variable number of detail lines.
form1
header
invoice_id
invoice_date
etc...
/header
details
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
detail
item_descr
item_qty
item_price
detail
/details
/form1
Now I figure this is a simple matter of replicating the invoice XML in the XPD that is generated, but no matter which way I do it, I only get a single page.
Is there something I need to do in the form in LiveCycle that tells it to produce multiple pages if I give it multiple "records"?
Does that make sense?
BTW...I'm not using a FormServer or anything else. Just simple XPD dynamically created with PHP that points to a PDF created with LiveCycle.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Again...assume I'm a newbie...

Hi All,
What I thought to develop is to write a JDBC connection in the Stan-alone PDF template and access database.
example: PDF is designed in such a way that it should have "USERNAME" , "PASSWORD" , "LOGIN BUTTON" , so that PDF stand-alone template on every desktop should access the database on entering the correct credentials.
is it possible..?
if possible , please provite the solution..?

  • How do I create a single PDF file with multiple pages?

    Hi, I occasionally need merge several jpg images into a single pdf file with multiple pages (one Jpg per page). I have tried doing this on Preview, and by selecting all the pages I want to include in my document and trying to save to Pdf through the "Print" function, but every time it only saves the first page.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save multple-page pdf files without having to purchase a specific program (i to this too infrequently to justify the cost)?
    Thanks very much,

    This works for me...
    Open first image in Preview View > Sidebar. Drag the other images into Sidebar, then select all.
    From File menu > print selected images. Choose PDF > Save as PDF

  • How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

    Well, you don't. Editing a PDF is a difficult and fraught business even with the most expensive software.
    But PDF Pack lets you export to Word; then often you can edit in Word. Now you can make a new PDF. It might look like the original, or it might not. If small changes matter you might be out of luck. ON NO ACCOUNT USE THIS FOR GOVERNMENT FORMS.

  • How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

    How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

    Hi,
    When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
    It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

  • How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

    In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
    Thanks
    Greg

    Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

  • How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

    I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library.  I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad.  I can't see how I can open those PDF files.  The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly.  Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

    Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
    To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks.  You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
    To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
    Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

  • InDesign export to single PDF files with variable Filename

    Hi there,<br /><br />I create a document with Data Merge which contains about 200 Pages. Now i want to export each page to a single PDF-File. Also the filename has to be generated from the placed content. The placed content are adresses. So i want to generate a filename with a static name. I got an ID, a static phrase and then a ZIP-Code. The Filename should look like this: <ID>September<ZIP Code>.pdf while ID and ZIP Code are fields from the datamerge.

    what you need is to operate throuh a loop.<br />for(i=0; i<app.activeDocument.pages.length;i++)<br />{<br /> //Assuming you labelled the textframe containing the ID with ID<br /> var myID = app.activeDocument.pages[i].textFrames.item("ID").contents;<br />//Assuming you labelled the textframe containing the ZIP with ZIP<br /> var myZip = app.activeDocument.pages[i].textFrames.item("ZIP").contents;<br /><br />var myPath = //something like "/disk/folder/" //Set a path to where you want to export the pdf<br />var myFileName = myID + myPath + myZip + ".pdf";<br />//Export to PDF - the forum is full of examples, you should find easily what you are asking for with search<br />} <br /><br />Loic

  • How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

    Hi,
    I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
    dinamically.
    this is the code i am trying to save by default
    protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException
    OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
    // this returns pdf byte array
    byte  ios[]  = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
    response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
    // reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
    String docName =  reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
    if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                    String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                    dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                    docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;

    In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
    1. File -> Save As
    2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
    both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
    Can any one help me please
    Regards
    Sakthivel.

    That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
    You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.

  • Open Acrobat pdf file with Pages

    Hi,
    I've read a lot of information about using pdf files with the ipad. I purchased goodreader but I'm not happy with the way text is rendered, it is blurry. When I open the same file with Safari, it looks perfect. Sent an email and I'm waiting for a response.
    I was reading about Apple Pages for the ipad. Will this open pdf files or just export to pdf files? Thanks.
    Regards-Michael G.

    Pages is a word processor, not a pdf reader. It can only export to pdf.

  • How can I programatically identify PDF files with embedded images?

    Our company has 27,266,949 .PDF files that we're planning to compress in order to save server space.
    We don't want to compress any of the .PDF files that have embedded images as to not alter the image's state.
    How can we programatically create a list to exclude from the compression process?

    Ah, see told you we were new to this and no, my taxs already have enough digits to the balance.
    Ok, so based on that, we should be able to use the preflighting tool to identify the PDF’s with images, factor them out, and then continue with lossless compression on the remaining balance.
    That will give us the compression we need to save space, but also allow us to stand in the court of law (if the scenario was to ever occur) and proclaim that none of our medical images have ever been altered by compression.
    Sound like a reasonable plan?

  • How can i open a pdf file with pdf paramter that extention is not ".pdf" in ie?

    for example: open in ie with url: "c:\\a.efb#toolbar=0 ", but it can not see anything,the "a.efb" is a sure pdf file that just change the file ext. however i can open  the file in ie without paramters!
    my english is not well,if you know what i say ,please write the answer,thanks!

    I do not know why you want to open a local file in IE, and not directly in Adobe Reader.
    Does it work if you rename the file extension to .pdf?
    If yes, then maybe it will work if you create a file association for .efb as AcroExch.Document to open with AcroRd32.exe

  • How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

    We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents.  We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
    We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
    Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

  • How do i edit a pdf file with acrobat 9 standard

    i have a doc that was sent to me thru email, i saved it as a pdf file now i want to edit it and it seems impossible. Please help!
    Thank you

    First choice is to edit the source file with its 'host' application.
    Acrobat provides the TouchUp Text tool for *minor* touchups.
    But, regardless of this PDF is not an editing / layout / formatting format.
    Be well...

  • How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

    I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file.  Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out.  I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat.  At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself.  If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
    Thanks,
    John

    If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
    There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.
