Hi Ponnusamy
Earlier there was <b>_self</b> as the target property for LinkToURLUIElement, but it is not available anymore,instead we need to use exit plugs
there is one way to do
1) Create a viewset of type Grid in your window
2) Create a new view with iFrame added to it
3) Specify number of columns/rows as per your requirement
to the viewset Suppose 1 Column and 2 Rows
4) In the second row embed your view which has iframe
Using Plugs[Inbound and Outbound] you can view your PDF in the same window.
This is not solution but this is one of the way to achieve your need
Best Regards

How to open a pdf form with fdf data

Hi all,
I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
Can anyone know any other way to do this?
Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
Thanks in advance
Annamalai

@ Bernd. It still opens a text file
Here's my FDF file sample
%FDF-1.2
%âãÏÓ
1 0 obj
<<
/FDF << /Fields
<</V (07/22/2009)/T (Loan_Note_Date)>><</V (22.29)/T (Loan_AnnualPercentage_Rate)>></V ()/T (Seller_ESignatureArea1_Date)>><</V (GA Dealer)/T (Seller_Signer_FullNameTitle)>><</V ()/T (ThirdParty_ESignatureArea1_Date)>>

(I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

How to open word&pdf document in the AplicationServer from Clients (Forms10

Hi,
How can in open MS Word & PDF files in the application server/any other PC in network, from the Client. I am using forms 10g.
Thanks in advance.
Rizly

Hi ,
But it is not working. I think u mean the below code that I copied from the Webutil Document.
However, when you change this code to use CLIENT_OLE2 (using search-and-replace)
it doesn’t work.The following example is code which will convert to CLIENT_OLE2:
DECLARE
app CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
docs CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
doc CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
selection CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
args CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
-- create a new document
app := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(app,'Visible',1);
docs := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Documents');
doc := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(docs, 'add');
selection := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Selection');

LiveCycle Designer 7 : Saving the PDF form for the users ?

Hi,
When building a form, which will be filled by users, is there any way that the users can be offered the possibility to save their data within the PDF so that they can send the complete form by emails or through a other files exchange media (FTP, WEB, Flashdisk... )
Although having the possibility to sent only the XML data via email (which is great and we would like to keep this option) we fear that some of our users, which are filling the form, might not feel confident with this and might want to sent their completed form too ?
Thanks for your answer
Eric B

I was able to make this work for the first time yesterday. Assuming that you have Abobe Acrobat 8.0, once you have built the form...using adobe 8 go to the Advanced menu and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader". The first time that I did this, and then attached the form to a user of reader - they were not able to save the completed form. So - I went to 'Forms' on the menu and selected "distribute form". Then the user of adobe was able to saved that form and changes that they made.
The distribute function wants you to email from there as a default. I had trouble because our default mail client is Novell. Still can't get that to work right. BUT - you can distribute the form and save it to your drive for distribution later. I then attached it to an email and sent it out to users.
Be sure to walk your end user through - using save as and saving it to their computer. My folks are used to NOT being able to do that so they still said they couldn't save the completed form.
Sorry if this explanation is very basic - but I am not at all a programmer! :) This is what worked for me. I spent hours on this site yesterday trying to work out the email piece and stumbled into this solution.
Good luck!

How to open a pdf file in a web browser using jsp

Hi,
I have a problem opening pdf file in browser using jsp.the following is my code.Can anyone help me.Thanks
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
String filename="C:\\FictPos\\mypdf.pdf";
File file = new File(filename);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream out1=response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
int count = 0;
while ((count = in.read(buf)) >= 0)
out1.write(buf, 0, count);
in.close();
out1.close();
}

Don't know the problem specifically, but here are some suggestions to investigate:
Does it show anything in the page when you view source on it?
I would recommend using a servlet rather than a JSP page for this, if only for the fact the JSPs can insert carriage returns into places where you might not want them to. This might screw up the PDF file format?
Try setting the a link to the jsp, right-click and "save target as..." just to see if it gets any response at all - ie bypass the browser display.
Good luck,

How to open a local jsp copy in a browser window?

My problem is that I am trying to open the local copy
of the JSP for testing in IE6 but when I try to open
it seems like it's dowloading something.
I am using Tomcat 4.0.
I have the file to open saved at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Rie Mino\jbproject\myproject
Please help!
Thanks.

You may not have installed the tomcat server correctly. Uninstall tomcat and follow the instructions pertaining to installing and configuring tomcat. After that start tomcat and see if you can see the default tomcat page. If you see the default page, then try to check your page out. If there are issues, look in tomcat/logs/catalina.out. You may find the source of your trouble there.

[Solved] How to open n different URLs in n different browser windows

Suppose there are 5 windows of dwb browser open. Using a script I want to open URL1 in first window, then URL2 in second and so on...
Any other browser would do too.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I need the windows to be specific.
Say, I have window 1 on workspace 1, window 2 on workspace 2 and so on... Now I have URL1, URL2 and so on. I only want to open URL1 on workspace 1, URL2 on workspace 2 and so on. Then I will repeat that with new set of urls via a script.
I have a just satisfactory solution with conkeror: (but it would be great to have a setup with a standard browser like firefox or chromium):
Copy pasting from somewhere else:
So after a little tinkering around, I found this solution:
First I installend `xulrunner`. Then got conkeror .tar.gz from its git, extracted it and copied the folder twice; effectively creating 3 folders. Now in each folder, I edited each one's application.ini with
Name=conkeror1
Name=conkeror2
Name=conkeror3
Then I created .conkerorrc in home folder and added one single line:
url_remoting_fn = load_url_in_current_buffer;
You can also set it to `url_remoting_fn = load_url_in_new_buffer;` if you want newly issued urls to open in new buffers (tabs).
Then simply issued commands like this:
xulrunner conkeror1/application.ini "URL1"
xulrunner conkeror2/application.ini "URL2"
xulrunner conkeror3/application.ini "URL2"
Voila! Each window is targeted separately!

How to Get XML from the PDF form generated using Designer that is stored in LC

We have a Requirement of Generating reports on what a PDF form is comprised of? It is easy for us to scan / parse the XML format of the PDF form and get all the relavent Info we need. We are able to see the XML format of the PDF form when we open up the Form in Designer.
But we are trying to run this report in a Batch Mode for many PDF files. I need to know how to get a XML format of the PDF file that is stored in LC that was developed using Designer. Once we are able to get the XML of the PDF form it is just a scan / parse to get the relavent data.
Can some one tell me how to get the XML format of a PDF file stored in the LC?

If I place the PDF form on the LC server - Can you let me know of the tools you are referring to get XML design from the PDF form?
Is it through a Process Orchestration I need to run the PDF through to get a XML design out of it?
I am fine in storing the PDF in the LC server? How will I get the XML design (XML) from this PDF on the server?

Want to display an interactive pdf form in the browser

Hi all,
I had created a value node and has also binded it to the 'dataSource' property of Interactive form UI Element & i had also binded the 'pdfSource' property to a value attribute of binary type.
i had design the pdf form using the Adobe liveCycle Designer now when i deploy my application to my server (not running on my own system)
No error is shown but the pdf form space only shows red cross in it.
Please tell me where i could be wrong.

Hi,
If you want to display PDF in browser by using Webdynpro means you need to follow like this.
ADS should indtalled in your portal.
After only you have to create an Interactiveform UI Element in WD and that should be designed there data value should be drag and drop.
Then only deploy the application the pdf should be displayed in browser.
I am thinking like this only.
Otheriwise post your issues.
Thanks,
Lohi.

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

How do I encrypt pdf form on Submit by email

Hi,
Is there anyway to encrypt the pdf form after the user clicks on the "Submit by Email" button?
I have Acrobat 9.

Though an encrypted PDF (i.e. one with security settings) does nothing to protect your data in transit. The PDF can still be opened by anyone who intercepts the mail.
If data is sensitive email isn't suitable. You need to submit to a web site, using the secure https protocol.

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
Here is what I have done:
As taken from another post:
Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
     The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
Thanks

I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.
