Import tab delimited file into pdfs
I have a tab delimited file with 1000's of rows. I want to complete a form and save it for each row. Rather than using the importData() function by itself and manually going through each record I would like to automate this so it will fill out a form for each row and save a copy of each. I have a little experience in acrobat javascript, but some knowledge of building the form and adding javascript.
You can use the doc.importTextData method to import a row of data into the form and then use the doc.extractPages method to save to a new file, clear the form, and repeat the process for each row.
importTextData: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.502.html
extractPages: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.465.html
Note that the return codes for importTextData in the documentation are wrong. The positive values should be negative and vice versa.

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5
I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
<Email Edited By Host>Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Problem importing CSV or tab-delimited file into Address Book
I am trying to import a text file (tab delimited) or csv file into address book. The files are created in Excel and consist 8 columns with address info (first name, last name, street, city etc). For the sake of simplicity, the file only contains 2 records - so all in all 3 rows with data where the first row contains the headers as described above.
I am perfectly able to import the fields first name, last name using Address Book's text import feature. However, as soon as I try to map Address Book's address field (Home, work or other) to my text file's headers, the import wizard stops responding. I can still scroll through the records with the left and right error, but the record count is screwed up ("-3 of 2") and clicking the OK button doesn't result in anything.
So I am able to import the names but not the addresses - so I better rename the Address Book to Name Book
Any clue of what's going wrong?I've been wrestling with the exact same problem. I have come to a solution, though serendipitously. The address variables belong to a group say address Office.
1 - I creted a column with address Office which clued in AddressBook the the existence of the data for +address Other+ (and it assigned the columns ot the proper data)
2 - address book does have an entry of address with all group elements of same colour, normally. I reassign address other to address office
3 - I also assign address office (in right-hand column) to address office.
At this point I have two groups of address office
4 - I indicate to the second group 'do not import'
5 - Then hit OK
It seems that this loop is necessary to instantiate the proper group name to the group of variables. Why? who knows. Bad UI? Clearly. Apple engineers should've thought about it before? no kidding... -
Importing a .xls tab delimited file into number
Hi there... I downloaded a .xls document from the internet and attempted to open it in Numbers. The following import problem presented itself:
Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
Indeed the data does look different- all of the formatting is visible, and the document is essentially unusable. Is there a way to convert this sort of document into something that can be used in Numbers?
ThanksI opened the document in Text Edit, but was unable to convert tab to commas... here is a clip from the original document when it is opened in both TextEdit and Numbers
<table border="1">
<!-- <tr><td colspan = "15" valign="middle" align="center">Date: 2/15/2008</td></tr>--> -
, Trouble importing from text file into PDF Acrobat 9.0
Hey all!
I'm trying to use the JavaScript found on this Adobe page to insert text into my PDF:
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=JS_API_AcroJS.88.502.html
this.importTextData("/c/data/myData.txt", 0);
Replacing the path with my own path, of course. However, I can't get it to work at all, it just crashes my JavaScript. I was thinking it might have something to do with the privilege stuff which, admittedly, confuses me a bit. But my understanding is that if you use the function without arguments, that shouldn't matter, and it will prompt the user for a path?
this.importTextData();
However, that still crashes the JavaScript. I'm not sure what exactly I am doing wrong here?
NOTE: I have tried running the JavaScript both in a checkbox and on page load.Well I was having trouble getting it to work without a path, though that kind of mysteriously started working now despite the fact that I didn't really change anything. I also assumed that part didn't apply to me because we are on 9, not 8, but maybe it means 8 and on?
I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around privileged and non-privileged contexts.
These methods can be executed only in a privileged context, which includes console, batch and application initialization events.
What would be the simplest way to execute in a privileged context? "Application initialization" sounds promising, does this mean when the application is first opened? If so, how would you execute JavaScript this way?! -
Importing data from tab delimited file
Hi everyone,
This is my first question on here so I hope I am doing the right thing.
I've searched online as much as I can to find an answer or a way to fix my problem but I have not been able to find a resolution.
My issue is I'm trying to import name and contact information from a excel file, that I have saved as a tab delimited file, into a fillable PDF file. I'm able select the text file through the import option and it shows the correct information as different rows that I can import but when I select one and click on to finish the import of the data I get an error message advising that some of the text could not be imported. The issue is nothing is being imported at all.
I've made sure that all the relevant fields are the same name as what the form has but still cannot get anything to import.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may not be working? Also I basically have no ability to write JavaScript to import the information otherwise I would look at travelling down that path.
Please let me know if I need to be any more specific.
Regards,
AdamOk I can share the form itself and will need to quickly create some data itself to go along with it

How do you import multiple sets of tab delimited text into your form?
Is there an easy way to bring in form data from a text file of data values(tab delimited) with multiple instances of each variable? In my current project, I would like to bring name, address, phone, etc data from the text file for a couple hundred people into a PDF form which I create and format to my given specs. I know I can import the text and select which instance of the variable I want to populate the similarly named fields, but I was wondering if I could appropriately name or create the various fields in the form so that it would auto populate each subsequent instance of the variables with the next line of data?. In this case, I want to end up with a nicely formatted address book.
Thanks!It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table
Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.
Hi PI Experts
I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in AdvanceI just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it. -
Display tab delimited file on a VI table
Hi All,
I have a tab delimited file that I want to display using the Table Control.
I tried using tab and /n parameters in a while loop to search the file and display on the table.
However this won't work as the file is of varying size, i.e. some rows only have one column will others have 2.
Is their a simple VI for importing tab delimited files that anyone knows of?
Thanks,
Sean
Solved!
Go to Solution.Edit: I should have mentioned.
The file is encoded so must decoded. I then have a string so I can't use the open spreadsheet open, rather I need to display the string in a table.

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action
Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file
I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,

Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file
This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
"\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
"\t " : replace by a tab
I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
and of course...
"\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
For example, in a Notes column, the text:
"Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
<Note>
Escape sequence \n:
move the text to a new line
while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
</Note>
Thanks for reading...
Frédéric DenisThe developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.

Importing a tab dilimited file into cells
How do yo import a tab-delimited file so that when it opens each separated tab is within its own cell in a table? I have .txt files.
Opening in Excel it recognized it as tab-delimited and offered steps to present the file in separated cells as desired.
In Numbers it just opens with all the tabs together in one cell (row separated).
Am I missing something here? This seems pretty basic.
Thx.Have you tried dragging the icon of the tab-delimited file onto the Numbers icon? If that comes up with all data in one cell per row, I'd say the file is not tab-delimited. It probably has spaces & you have to "clean up" the text in a word processor.
