How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="out.pdf">
<PDF source="inDoc1"/>
<PDF source="inDoc2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>

Turning PDF Documents into Word Documents

Can I use my Adobe Creative Suite 6 to turn PDF documents into Word Documents?

Acrobat comes with most versions of Creative Suite and it is capable of converting PDFs to Word documents. The quality of the results depend on a number of things. If the PDF was originally generated from a Word source and it's well tagged, you will get much better results. More complicated layouts will generally have worse results and there will be considerable cleanup in Word needed. Exporting to text is sometimes better.
For the future, there is a better forum for this type of question: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions

How to Merge multiple XML files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

public class MergeXMLS {
     public static void main(String[] args) {

The above code only add's the first node.
I changed the code little differently to
              SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
              Document books = builder.build("D:/in.xml");
              Document onebook = builder.build("D:/out.xml");
             //trying to add second xml into the first
              books.getRootElement().addContent(onebook.getRootElement().getContent());
              new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat()).output(books, System.out);
here is the exception from the above code:
org.jdom.IllegalAddException: The Content already has an existing parent "address"
     at org.jdom.ContentList.add(ContentList.java:218)
     at org.jdom.ContentList.add(ContentList.java:140)

How do l delete all the text in my InDesign document in one go?

Hi
I managed to get the solution to my formatting problems for my book in InDesign CS6. I'm scared that with all the messing about something may have gone wrong. Is there a quick way to just delete the text - ie leave headers, footers and page numbering in place as well as the settings for automatically adding page numbers. I tried to sort this last night but the only solution I found seemed to want to take the whole page out and I don't want to go through all the setting up of headers, footers, page numbering and of course all the associated place holders. Anyone got a solution?
John

Hi Peter
I'm not sure I completely understand. The file is simply a 200 page+ Word document that was autoplaced in InDesign. You've been really helpful to me with this In Design document - thankyou. What I'm getting at is that because I increased the gutter size to comply with printing specifications after I placed the Word document for the first time - some text that was on page 100 and was the start of a chapter - and therefore had no header, now appears on page 110 in the new file which in the original placing of the text had got a header and footer on. All I want to do is delete the story text - ie the Word document that was autoplaced.
Cheers Peter

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

Help! I've deleted most text in a Word document and pressed save!

Help! I've deleted most text in a Word document accidentally and pressed save - thus losing most of the last week's work! Is there likely to be a temp file anywhere from yesterday so that I can retrieve it?

I don't know which Mac you have, but if you have an intel, update to 10.7 and you can use the function called Versions, which autmatically saves a version of your text, and you can revert to it when needed.

thank you for your help.

It is not a specific file that causes trouble, it is happening with all the documents with Hebrew fonts.
I tried the "Save as" option and the same problem happened.
