How to get data from PDF form?
PDF forms can send data in url like GET or POST method. Is it possible to get data from url, like in PHP http://sever/file.php?item1=value1&item2=value2&item3=value3
In APEX url have specific construction and I don't know how to get value of items (1...3)
Please let me help to find simple method of geting data from URL.
Best Regards,
MarkThe APEX URL syntax is detailed here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/concept.htm#BCEDJBEH
How to get it from PDF is another matter...
I'm working on an app that downloads PDFs with a Large amount of data as a blob, takes that blob and changes it to XML, then goes through the xml to validate each section of data and then add it into the schema that my apex app is referencing....
I didn't write the original code but I do know that it isn't a quick thing to implement and includes using some uploading some java jar files to your schema and writing some custom java code.
Someone else may be able to help with grabbing PDF data into the URL for the amounts of data you want to pass to apex.

ALBPM - How to represent Dates (without Time)
I have been slated to clean up existing some production ALBPM code. Our business logic is all Date based, but the original implementation uses the Fuego Time object b/c there is no Date object available. This causes issues when we work across time zones or daylight savings time. For example, 2am 11/9/2009 in US/Eastern would be 11pm 11/8/2009 in US/Central so the dates would not match. Currently, the code has some ugly hacks, such as calling the "addHours" method to roll the time forward.
I would appreciate hearing any best practices on how to approach Date based logic in ALBPM. In representing Dates, should we:
1) Stick with current Fuego Time object (if so, how should we handle time zones & DST)
2) Use some standard Java object (Java Date object has time embedded as well, leaving the same challenges)
3) Create a new Date object ourselves that ignores time.
4) Other??
Any suggestions from those who have worked with mainly Date based logic would be appreciated.We have the same problem, we just set the time to 12 noon and most probably this fix the issue when system communicates across time zones.
If teh user selects the date as "11/10/2009", make use of the SimpleDateFormat to append the time as 12 Noon.
Thanks,

Hi,
My aim is to populate data in a standard pdf file and print the same.
How can I do this? I am using struts framework.
What are the APIs that can be used for this?
Would it be better to convert an rtf to pdf?
Please help.
Thanks!
ArchnaThanks for the link.
I tried etymon PJ but there are problems with word alignment and word wrap. The process that I followed is like this:
1. Converted a word document to pdf 1.4 using acrobat 7.0
2. I then use this pdf which contains tags like <Address> <City> etc and have this file as an input
3. Use Etymon PJ to replace text using these tag delimiters
The file is converted but there is no word wrap and alignment issues occur. What could be the cause?

Hi All,
I have a pdf forms(about 100). Now I need to open that forms in the browser. User can fill that form and that data should be filled in the database/XML file. Then when user come again then that form details must be displayed in that form.
Please suggest me some path as I am totally blank about this concept.
Regards.Hi Leonard,
Thank you very much for the reply.Our users have only reader at their side. Can we set up any kind of software implementation at server side? Or with the use of the .NET(C#) ?
Can you please provide me some link to initiate this project? Actually I don't know how to start this.
Any help would be appreciated. -
How to input data into Pdf file
I am not too sure if I am posting my question in the right forum.
I would like to know what version of Adobe acrobat can allow me to create a document, where clients can input data into it?
Here is an online example
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400.pdf
Thanks.
OceansIf your users will be using Reader and you want your users to be able to save the form or email it, you will need to apply 'Extended Form Rights' (version 8 Provessional or Version 9 Standard or better) and for signatures you will need to apply 'Signature Rights' using an Adobe server product.

How to get data from pdf file and send contents of the pdf file to R/3
Hi, experts,
Action:
1. Make a pdf forms (interactive form) with inputfield named A_inputfield in the webdynpro application and run the webdynpro application.
2. In the IE, click the save button in the pdf interactive form and save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk. Close the IE browser.
3. Open the pdf interactive form from the local C disk and type "aaa" to the A_inputfield.
4. I want to save the "aaa" to the R/3 system using webdynpro or using other tools . How can I do it?
First way:
If I use webdynpro application to save the content of the pdf, I don't find a way mapping or binding the content to a context of a view. So I don't think this way is unadvisable.
Second way:
Adding a button "submit" in the pdf forms when create the pdf form. Runing the webdynpro application, save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk. Opening the pdf interactive form from the local c disk and typing "aaa" to the A_inputfield, click the "submit" button to save the content. Of course, I need to finish the code for clicking "submit" button. But I don't know how to write these codes and where to write these codes. Do you give me some advise ?
Best regards,

How to represent date infinity
Hi all,
I have a persistent class with fields representing a date interval (startDate and endDate). In cases where endDate is not defined (endless interval), the field could be set to null but this would be inconsistent with sorting since null is smaller than any other date. An alternative could be to define a constant DATE_INFINITY set to December 31 9999 but I'm not sure if this is a good idea.
Any comments or alternatives ?
JCGHow about this:
public class DateWithForever implements Comparable {
// "Date With Forever" -- sounds like a cheap romance novel
private Date date;
private boolean forever_future = false;
private boolean forever_past = false;
public createDateWithForever(Date date) {
return new DateWithForever(date);
public createDateWithForever(String forever) {
if ("FUTURE".equals(forever))
return new DateWithForever(true);
if ("PAST".equals(forever))
return new DateWithForever(false);
return null;
private DateWithForever(Date date) {
this.date = date;
private DateWithForever(boolean future) {

this.forever_future = true;

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?
Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank -
How to extract data from offline PDF files as batch processing
Hello.
I want to use Adobe Interactive forms as batch processing.
For instances,
1. Users download offline PDF files.
2. Users inputs data on their local PCs.
3. Users upload these PDF files in one folder.
4. Program can read data form PDF files on that folder. and put data to ERP at night.
I' d like to know how to implement a program with Java or ABAP.
Regards.
Koji.Hi,
It's possible to do it but first be sure that the SAP system can read the directory while your program is executed in background .
Then you have to read the content of the directory and process each file you found.
Look at this standard ABAP object cl_gui_frontend_services , you will find method for browsing a directory and retrieve list of file .
Afterwards you have to process each file , for this have a look at this wiki code sample i wrote for processing inbound mail with adobe interactive form, it should help you [Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]
Hope this help you .

How to read data from writable PDF Form?
Hi,
I need some help for the web site that I am working on.
This is asp.net website. Client is requesting to provide writeable PDF forms on this website for download.
These forms will be downloaded by customers, they will fill in the required data on these forms save it and upload the forms back on the website.
Once uploaded we need to read whtever client has written in these forms and update in the database (SQL server).
I have been going through adobe web site and lot of other web sites to understand this concept (as i have never done this).
What I understood is, with Adobe LiveCycle designer and forms we can create writeable forms.
However I have not got any idea or seen any documentation on how do I read the data that user has typed on these forms.
This reading the data from pdf and saving into sql server, I have to do it in asp.net app.
Could anyone please help me understand how to achieve this.
Thanks a lot for you time.How do we do that?
Just to clarify myself, I am not putting any button on PDF to invoking submit action from PDF. I am allowing user to upload the pdf and they click submit button on my aspx page.
Are you saying that when user submits the aspx page there is a wasy to retrieve the data in the form of XML or name/value pair on this aspx submit? if so please send me some pointers/examples or let me know how to do this? Is there any additonal tools/software that we will need to buy from adobe for this?
thanks for you time!
