How to save XDP/Form with XML as a standalone PDF - Running out of time

Help...I'm in a time crunch. I have a perfectly working form that takes XML and merges into a wonderful PDF on my machine (1000+ pages). The problem is I need to distribute the finished PDF with the XML...not to two independent files.
I have tried every "Save As" and "Export" available and it only saves the PDF template without the data.
I have tried to "Print" to a PDF writer / pseudo-printer but it chokes and dies after a few hundred pages.
What am I missing? How can I take this form and XML and make a final product PDF that I can distribute?
In case it helps...the form was made in LiveCycle and the XML is generated from PHP.

Thanks for your ideas. I'm not using the reader...I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.x.
This isn't really a LiveCycle question because that has to do with the form design. This is post-design and during the data merge...something only an end-user would see or have access to.
The form works great...the data is great. They are merged on the screen and looks perfect. However, I can't get the combined output saved anywhere.

How to save infopath form in XML file

How to save InfoPath form in XML file.
I want every new record in InfoPath form save in XML file and also retrieve these records from XML like databases

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to save InfoPath form in XML file.
I have done a test in my SharePoint, Do the following steps:
Create an form library and publish an InfoPath form into it, Then when we create new document into the form library, it is by default that InfoPath form is saved in XML file.

How to save the form data into adobe db?

Hi All,
How to save the form data into adobe db?
I have designed one xdp file.
Through processFormSubmission(), I got the submitted form data as Document obj.
Then I have called the workflow kickoff program.
code:
InvocationRequest request = myFactory.createInvocationRequest ("myprocessname", //Specify the long-lived process name
"invoke", //Specify the operation name
params, //Specify input values (HashMap obj)
false); //Create an asynchronous request
It successfulyy started the workflow, but the submitted form data is not saved anywhere.
And also, How get the form data from tables?
Please provide the solution for the above.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saravanan G

You need to create a process variable of type IN if you want to be able to pass data to your process. Then the params parameter (HashMap) contains a list of all the IN variables with their content that you want to pass to your process. They key is the name of the variable and the value the content. That way you should get it in your process.
Now LiveCycle will create a column in the database for every process variable, so the content will be saved in the database just by creating that process variable.

Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

Hello.
I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
What are my choices..?
So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
Any suggestion?

Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
byte[] mybytes = null;
try
//Create a Java Transformer object
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
//Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Create a Java Source object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
//Create a Java Result object
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
//Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
// Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
//Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
//Copy the content to the byte array
mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
//Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
//contents of the byte array
Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
return myDocument;
THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
formName, //formQuery
myDocument, //inDataDoc
pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
uriValues, //urlSpec
fileAttachments //attachments
Hope this helps!

Update a system form with XML: empty screen when this is a target document.

Hi,
It is possible to update a system form with an xml file.
In the UI_Application.LoadBatchActions(xmlDoc). In the xmldocuemnt I update a system form by adding controls on it. This all works fine, except one (big) problem.
Assume that I Alter the 'Good Receipt PO'.
This document can be the target document of a Purchase order document. When you open a PO and click the icon on the toolbar for going to the target document, you see the target document filled in, in OK (view) mode.
When you alter the 'Goods Receipt PO' form with XML you get an empty goods receipt form, in Add mode.
Is this a known problem, how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance

How to format a form with adf

Hi,
I want to format an adf form like this :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33421977/adf_form.PNG
To do this I have used af:panelDashboard and af:panelBox with af:panelFormLayout inside.
Now I don't want to use panelBox anymore, but I don't know how to achieve this without panelDashboard/panelBox.
What is th best aproach to do this? Can you send me some links which explain how to format a form with adf?
Thanks.

Is just a question of style. In the real application this form is included in another panelBox. So it looks too... I don't know how to say it... too heavy?
In fact I don't want to see these panelBoxe's borders. Maybe I have just to change the style of these boxes? Do you know if it is possible?
But more generally, what is the right way to format adf forms? Can I achieve this sort of formatting just using panelFormLayout?

How to design a form with multiple lang(Arabic and Eng) in a page

Hi All,
Could you pls help me how to design a form with multiple languages. when I set the form proprties-->Form Locale as Arabic. English text is comming in reverse and when set the FormLocale as English, Arabic text is comming in revese.
Pls help me how to design
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jayakar

I am not sure how you can have two different languages inside the same PDF.
Alternatively, if you want to place only the static labels, you can convert all the static label in one language to images and set the form language setting to other. And place the images inside the form using Image field. For example, you can keep the form language as English and then convert all the arabic language labels/ Static text to images.
Anotherway,
Have same sections in both the languages and hide and unhide based on the user selection of the language..
if your user chooses Arabic, then you can unhide the Arabic sections and change the form language properties programmatically..
Thanks

How to save a png with a straight or fat alpha?

Long story short, work in broadcast and a new piece of gear prefers png files. I know how to save png's with a transparency, that's not the problem. What I don't know how to do or if it's possible is to save them with a straight or fat alpha. Right now we feather or extend the edges out past the alpha of say a logo and save it as a tif, psd or .tga. That way once it's keyed over video or whatever, the edges look good, no black bad edging.... this makes sense, probably not explaining it very well. But switching to png files I have no idea how to make a straight or fat alpha since it sees transparency. I mean if I feathered out the edges, a png will see that correct, since there's no alpha??
I hope this makes sense ?

Chris, this is probably the answer I seek "PNG always saves with straight color - that's how the PNG spec defines it."
I admit my explanation was a bit weak and I understand PNG only supports transparency, which is not an alpha, and the apps aren't treating them wrong....I just couldn't formulate an intelligent question and explain it, my bad.
After thinking about it I don't think using a PNG will work. RIght now for broadcast gear/applications if we don't fill the transparent and semi-transparent areas of an image with the colored part of the image, we usually end up getting a dirty key/matte or a lot of fringing. So when using a .tif or .tga that reads an actuall alpha, we can fix the issue by doing what I described. In fact we use a quick little plugin from flaming Pear called "Solidifty" to speed up the process http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html . With that said, I know we can't do the same steps with a png because it only sees transparency, but I guess I was wondering if there was a work-around or a trick to fix that issue. I could be wong, but doesn't a png save with white ?
But again, as I thought about it, I think i'm asking for something it's not meant to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks Chris, does this make more sense or more confusing? The bottom-line is I don't think it will work.

How to save a graph with some parameters on it?

hi
my application involves analysis of data and plot a graph of analysed data, how to save graph along with analysed data in a file otherthan labview?

Well, it sounds like you are wanting a picture of the graph, yes? If so there are two ways of getting it. First there is a VI method (Get Panel Image) that lets you get an image of the entire screen, and then there is a control method (Get Image) that lets you get an image of just the front panel object that you are interested in.
The help file entries for either method provides added detail on how to uses these methods to save a picture of your data.
