Importing data from a .txt file and have Acrobat create new pages

Hi everyone,
I've created a form in Acrobat 9 to be used as an invoice. I want to be able to import data from an excel spreadsheet or .txt file into all the form fields. I know that I can go Forms > Manage form Data > Import Data to import 1 record at a time, but say I have about 50 invoices to populate, is there a way to import all the records at once and have acrobat create a new invoice for each of the customer's records?
If there is a way, will it be compatible for Acrobat Reader users since this form will be used by someone who only has the Reader?
Really appreciate any help.

Sure.. this is what we use. "New Micro Right Click Tools"

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

  • Importing accents from a txt file

    Hi everyone
    I have the following proble that I can't solve for now:
    I've got a pdf file with forms
    I've got an excel file that I export to txt (tab delimited text file)
    When I import the data from the txt file to the pdf everything is fine but the french accents (é or è or à). For example the "é" becomes a " ,".
    I thinks it might be related to unicode or utf but I don't know how to export properly then import those characters.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
    Florent
    PS: I'm using Excell 2011 on MAC and Acrobat 9 Pro.

    Done that already, no luck.
    I've saved in all the txt formats possible in my Excel.

  • How to import data from a text file into a table

    Hello,
    I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
    I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
    I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
    I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
    Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
    Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
    Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
    For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
    For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
    What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
    I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
    I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
    I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
    After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
    C:\>imp

    Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
    We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
    I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
    I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
    Thanks,

    Thank you

    Hello Peter, and thank you for your reply's.
    My problem is that I'm receiving the data from the external
    file and I don't know how to get the children in place... I mean, I
    also have some data being received form a file that I can convert
    into an array collection, but the thing is, that file doesn't have
    children structure...
    It's something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <items>
    <item id="T1" resourceId="R1" name="Cardiologia"
    startTime="25-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 8:30:0" />
    <item id="T2" resourceId="R2" name="Raio-X"
    startTime="25-3-09 9:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 9:15:0" />

    startTime="26-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="26-3-09 9:0:0" />
    </items>
    And I solve it with this (don't know if is the best):
    private function onResultHttpServiceTask(e:ResultEvent):void
    var a:Array = xmlListToObjectArray(e.result.item);
    tasks = new ArrayCollection(a);
    protected function
    xmlListToObjectArray(xmlList:XMLList):Array
    var a:Array = new Array();
    for each(var xml:XML in xmlList)
    var attributes:XMLList = xml.attributes();
    var o:Object = new Object();
    for each (var attribute:XML in attributes)
    var nodeName:String = attribute.name().toString();
    var value:*;
    value = attribute.toString();
    o[nodeName] = value;
    a.push(new ObjectProxy(o));
    return a;
    But when the children "enter in action" I don't know how to
    bring them to the array...
    This code you send it's preaty much the thing I need, but the
    thing is that I don't know how to call the children with data as
    e:ResultEvent...
    If you can help a bit more, I would really appreciate...

  • I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

    I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
    As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
    Any ideas / help ?

    And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

    SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
    The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

  • Reading integers from a .txt file and computing means

    I have a program that uses for loops to produce ten integers (1-10) are returns the average mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean.
    Now i need to change this program to read integers from a .txt file and return the same data. Basically i need to change my for statements that are incrementing to read the text file.
    Thanks guys.

    You haven't asked a question. You haven't posted code. What are you expecting here?
    But I guess I'll take a stab at it and say you should look at the Scanner class
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html
    or BufferedReader
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html
    I'll never understand what makes people come to the forums, create an account, and ask a lazy question, when they could get a great answer much quicker through Google.

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

    Please have a look at the DIAdem Example to concanate channels. Its delivered with DIAdem.
    Examples > Creating Scripts > Scripts > Appending Channels to Each Other
    Please use a dataplugin (File -> Text DataPlugin Wizard...) or the csv plugin to load your data.
    Greetings
    Andreas
    P.S.: The one you have downloaded needs the old Ascii Wizard that is not activated by default in newer DIAdem versions.
    If you want to use it anyway:
    Settings -> Options -> Extensions -> GPI Extensions ...
    Add gfsasci.dll

  • Importing data from an .mht file

    I would like to import data from a *.mht file. I can open the file in excel and save it as excel but I want to automate this in SSIS. I found a command line tool but it's not doing it correctly but excel does.
    Can I do this in VB script in a VB task?
    OR is there an odbc provider for the .mht file so I don't need to convert it at all?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    it converts to an excel manually and then can import it just fine. it's a report and the source will only give us an .mht file for importing into our database.
    any ideas how to automate converting to excel in VB script or do I have to build an .exe and run it via command line or something?
    Thanks
    I seriously doubt anyone around here will know how to do this I'm afraid because its nothing to do with SSIS. What I do know is that you can use the Office PIAs to automate many Excel tasks from .Net code so if you can figure out how to do that then you put the code inside a SSIS script task. At that point we may be able to offer some assistance but not until then.
    In other words, if you want to programatically open the .mht file in Excel you'd be better advised to get the advice elsewhere I'm afraid.

  • What is the 'quickest' way to read char data from a txt file

    Hello,
    What is the 'quickest' way to read character data from a txt file stored on the phone to be displayed into the screen?
    Regards

    To be even a bit more constructive...
    Since J2me does not have a BufferedInputStream, it will help to implement it yourself. It's much faster since you read large blocks at ones in stread of seperate chars.
    something line this lets you read lines very fast:
      while ( bytesread < filesize ) {
             length = configfile.read( buff, 0, buff.length );
             // append buffer to temp String
             if ( length < buff.length ) {
                byte[]  buf  = new byte[length];
                System.arraycopy( buff, 0, buf, 0, length );
                tmp.append( new String( buf ) );
             } else {
                tmp.append( new String( buff ) );
             // look in tmp string for \r\n
             idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );
             while ( idx1 >= 0 ) {
                //if found, split into line and rest of tmp
                line = tmp.toString().substring( 0, idx1 );
             /// ... do with it whatever you want ... ////
                tmp = new StringBuffer( tmp.toString().substring( idx1 + 2 ) );
                idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );

  • Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file

    how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
    thanks

    Hey Kevin!
    Using FORMS.TEXT_IO to bulk load data from a file strikes me as re-inventing the wheel. It is just about justifiable in a self-service environment, but I regard the EXTERNAL TABLE is a better solution for that situation as well.
    The same applies to UTL_FILE. I think the ability to read text with UTL_FILE is primarily intended for read file-based configuration or file manipulation/processing rather than data loading.
    Re-writing a text file into SQL statements is too much like hard work (even with an editor that supports macro definition and regular expressions) for no real benefit. You lose all the bulk load peformance you would get from SQL*Loader. But for QAD I'd probably let you off with it.
    You missed out one obvious alternative: using Java to turn the contents of an XML file into a CLOB and inserting it into a table which is read by a PL/SQL procedure that parses the XML records and insert the retrieved data into a table.
    Stay lucky, APC

    Hi,
    Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
    jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
    Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
              import java.io.File;
              import java.util.Date;
              import jxl.*;
             Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
    On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access  individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the  second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
              Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
    After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
    String a1 = a1.getContents();
    String b2 = b2.getContents();
    String c2 = c2.getContents();
    // perform operations on strings
    However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
      String a1 = null;
      Double b2 = 0;
      Date c2 = null;
                        Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                        Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                        Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                        if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                           LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                           stringa1 = lc.getString();
                         if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                           NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                           numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                          if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                            DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                            datec2 = dc.getDate();
                           // operate on dates and doubles
    It is recommended to, use the close()  method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.              
              // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
              workbook.close();
    The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.
    Regards
    Raghu

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.
