How to merge static pdf files and dynamic livecycle forms
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to merge static pdf pages with a dynamic livecycle form to create one file.
Thanks,
-vargs
Hi, Steve.
I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
My question concerns accessibility.
If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
Any help appreciated.

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms
Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!
Jim Bates
Verizon BusinessAs I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

How to Merge 1 PDF file to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.
Hi, How to Merge 1 PDF file to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.
Depending on just what you are trying to do, you can also use DOCUMENT>Insert Pages to add multiple documents or simply drag and drop the documents into the current document (OK, I have not tried this one).

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images
I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

How do I open PDF files and links
How do I open PDF links and PDF files, heeelp! This is very confusing, I've tried everything (such as installing adobe reader etc) and nothing works for me, I'm very dissapointed with Apple right now, this suck! I'm studing and I really need this function to work for me!
You don't need to, and should not, install any software to view PDF's. They open in Safari from the web, or in Preview from the Finder.

How to merge the pdf files into single pdf?
I need to merge the two (or) three pdf files into a single pdf via scripting. I used the below code for inserting(merging) the pages.
this.insertPages({cPath: "Test.pdf"})
But its merginging(inserting) successfully. But the links not working after inserting. kindly advise me the solution or any other ways.
I am using Acrobat 8.0.
Thanks in advance..http://gotofritz.net/blog/howto/joining-pdf-files-in-os-x-from-the-command-line/ <- this works but it strips OPI
Here's what I did: (This is shell script)
#!/bin/bash
FROM="./"
DESTINATION="./unCombined/"
for i in $(ls *_F_ga.pdf)
do
BACK=`echo "$i" | sed "s/_F_/_B_/g"`
if [ -f $BACK ] ; then
open "$i"
osascript selectMenuItem.scpt
sleep 3
mv -f "$FROM/$i" $DESTINATION
mv -f "$FROM/$BACK" $DESTINATION
fi
done
This calls an applescript
tell application "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Acrobat"
click menu item "combine Front and Back" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
Which activates a menu item (made with Java and saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
app.addMenuItem({
cName: "combineFB",
cUser: "combine Front and Back",
cParent: "File",
cExec: "combineFrontAndBack()",
nPos: 0
Which activates this script (again saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
combineFrontAndBack = app.trustedFunction(
function(){
// get the file name and extension
var sFullFileName = this.documentFileName
// make into an arry
var aFullFileName = sFullFileName.split('_F_');
// build a file name array dropping the extension
var aFileName = new Array(aFullFileName.length - 2);
for (i = 0; i < aFullFileName.length - 1; i++) {
aFileName[i] = aFullFileName[i];
// recreate file name
var sFileName = aFileName.join('.');
var back = sFileName + "_B_ga.pdf";
app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privilege
//add back page based on front page name
this.insertPages ({
nPage: 0,
cPath: "/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + back,
nStart: 0
this.saveAs("/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + sFileName + "_ga.pdf");
this.closeDoc(true);
app.endPriv();
return true;
It's convoluted and comparitively slow, but it works.
EDIT: I just realized you probably meant document links and not OPI links. Ha ha. I have no Idea what this would do to document links. -
ITS: How to download a PDF file and provide it with a filename !??
Hi everybody,
I habve created an Zservice that Prints spools requests. Now it should be extend to allow download as a pdf file as well.
What are the options here !?
I am aware of mime-download and it works fine but it has certain limitations despite it opens up the pdf just fine the in IE window.
-- No custom filename can be provided
-- Opens up in the same window can only escape w/ back button
I would need something that would allow the following:
-- Either to select file location etc. or being abale to set correct file location
-- Possible open pdf file in a new window...
I assume that a combination of different things need to be done here...
Any suggestions !?
Cheers,
CN

Hey David,
that seems about what I would need :
Open or saving it in a separated dialog/window/application
Being able to provide a filename (which can be a BHtml variable)
But I do not have a clue how I can get it implemented ...what needs to be done !?
Although iot seems to be the way to go...but how !??

Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet
How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
Am I simply overlooking something?
Thanks.oracle reports does not provide this capability. however, the e-business suite provides a tool that might do, what you are looking for ...

How to Print a PDF file and Close the ACrobat Reader opened using WEBUTIL
Hi All,
I have used WEBUTIL successfully and printed files using webutil_host.nonblocking builtin. What happens is that after printing the file the Acrobat reader stays on the desktop of the client PC. How to close that file opened programmatically. I am unable to close it using any any commands or using following builtins from WEBUTIL.
WEBUTIL_HOST.RELEASE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID)
WEBUTIL_HOST.TERMINATE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID);My command to directly call the Acrobat reader file and print it is by using this command.
M_STR_COMMAND := 'cmd.exe /c start AcroRd32.exe /t '||CHR(34)||FILE_STR_PATH||'\'||FILE_NAME||CHR(34)||' '||CHR(34)||PRINTER_NAME||CHR(34);Help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks in advanceI think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

How to sign a pdf file and save it directly back to sharepoint site?
Hello,
I own a Sharepoint site for testing. It is installed in my computer with Sharepoint 2010 (WSS). What I want to do is to find a way to achieve a signing function for pdf file type on sharepoint.
By refer to this site below, the site has been able to recognize pdf file type and open it and edit it directly on the sharepoint site.
http://www.portalsolutions.net/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=40
I can edit the pdf file by checking out and then the modification will be save directly back to the pdf file in the shared document library when I am done. Now the problem is, I cannot save the pdf directly back to sharepoint after I inserted a digital signature
to the pdf file.
Everytime I inserted a digital signature to the pdf file, a "save as..." window would pop up and asked me to save the signed pdf file as another file in my local computer, so the changes were not applied to the original pdf file on the shared document library
of my sharepoint site. I have to upload the local signed version back to the site and replace the old one manually.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
Mengxin Wu
Hi,
According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
as a new version.
I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

How to upload a PDF-file and send it by SAP Mail
Hi,
we need to attach a pdf-file to an email send by SAP. The file is stored in a SAP-directory. When I use Open dataset to get the file it works but when sent by email the file could not be opened. I guess that perhaps I have to use other parameters to get the PDF in a correct file but I don't know which ones. Here is part of the coding I use for testing:

wa_pdf LIKE LINE OF it_pdf.
v_file = '/pool//Test.pdf'.
OPEN DATASET v_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
WHILE ( sy-subrc EQ 0 ).
READ DATASET v_file INTO wa_pdf.
IF NOT wa_pdf IS INITIAL.
APPEND wa_pdf TO it_pdf.
ENDIF.
CLEAR wa_pdf.
ENDWHILE.
CLOSE DATASET v_file.
