In browser- URL of PDF where it imports FDF data

I want to bring up my browser - put the URL of a PDF on a server that has fillable fields - and have the PDF automatically bring in the contents of an FDF file to populate the fields defined in the FDF file.
There is ADOBE documentation of doing something like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/abc.pdf#fdf=datafile.fdf
That's all I want to do.  Simple.
In detail - in a PHP program I want to create the FDF file just using fopen and fwrites - no additional packages - then my JavaScript calls an already created PDF file on the web with the PDF when brought up on the server side automatically imports the FDF my program created a few seconds ago.
I do know about fdf_create in PHP but unfortunately the server I'm on is cpanel based and the hosting company cannot load a library for fdf_create related calls.
I cannot seem to get this working.  I've called Adobe tech support.  A few months ago I reached someone who actually said "You've reached the right person.  Yes that is doable." and they confirmed what I wanted to do.   But since then the Adobe people I call don't seem to understand what an FDF file is even though that is what Adobe uses to communicate and has it in their documentation as     http://......abc.pdf#fdf=xxx.fdf
Now I've even eliminated the step/chance that I've not created my FDF file properly.  I've gone into Acrobat Pro and done an extract to an .FDF file.   Then I've tried  http://www.myweb.com/abc.pdf#fdf=theAcrobatExtractedFile.fdf  and it still ignores the contents of the FDF file.
I've also tried http://www.myweb.com/abc.pdf#fdf=http://www.myweb.com/extractedfile.fdf   fully qualifying the location of the FDF file.
Help!  This is important.   Thank you.
Jay

I appreciate your help.  My Chrome brower was saying that.
I started this quest of FDF into PDF because I had done it years ago successfully and because the Adobe Tech Support fellow told me that still worked (http://www.myweb.com/abc.PDF#fdf=xyz.FDF ) when I called him last October.  But let me pose the question in a different way  - is there a datafile (any format) that I can use as a parameter to a URL that is of a PDF?  XML, flat file, GIFF format, csv, pipe delimited, etc.   If there is a data file that I can do
http://www.myweb.com/document.PDF#inputdata=filex   -or- another way to pose the question - if I'm going from PHP to browser PDF is there an example of calling the PDF from PHP where it loads PDF and data values from an outside source.... doing this without involving any other system/package?  Just PDF in a browser.
The fdftk library for PHP is not accessible in my normally used host and also GoDaddy said they wouldn't load fdftk either.
Note: If you go to the last page of this Adobe document:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf
you'll see their example http://example.org/doc.pdf#fdf=http://example.org/doc.fdf
Thanks!  Help!

  • 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

    @ Bernd. It still opens a text file

    (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

  • Launching Browser from Java when Browser URL is very  long

    Hi,
    I am trying to launch a browser from Java.
    I am doing the following.
    String command = "cmd" + "/c" + "start" + " browserURL";
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime()exec(command);
    Note: My browserURL is very long.
    Now the browser is invoked. But the URL shown is incomplete and hence
    browser is unable to open the required application.
    Can someone help me in this.
    One way is to increase the buffer size on the command prompt?
    Is there any java command for this?
    Is there any other way to solve this issue.
    Thanks,
    AR

  • Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

    When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over.  A wide range of other PDF files print OK.  Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success.  Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5.  Any ideas?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70 
    I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
    I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
    You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
    If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
    Good luck and have a great day

  • Importing XML Data into a Reader Extended PDF

    I'm using designer 9 to create a PDF that will import an XML document on initialization and will use that document to populated multiple dependent dropdown lists.
    That's working fine in preview when I use xfa.datasets.data.mydataset to access the XML document and proceed to manipulate the XML with e4x.
    Now I have the form working correctly in designer preview and I want to reader extend the form and configure the data connection to access the XML file dynamically instead of using the preview data.
    I've tried a few methods of accessing the data via a reader extended form and they have all failed.
    I've tried to call importData("local filename") and access the XML file that way. That appears to fail silently.
    I've also tried to embed the XML in a hidden form field and the XML document length apparently exceeds the max character limit so I can't do that.
    So how can I import the XML document on form initialization either through a) importing the data(ideally through a web URL)  or b) embedding the XML document directly in the form somewhere?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    It's indeed possible to import data in a reader enabled form with Reader.
    Here's a sample:

  • Where do imported mailboxes get stored

    I used a PST converter to convert my PST files to .mbox and imported those into MAC mail but after looking around, mailboxes are stored in the user/library/mail/mailboxes folder but that doesn't exist so I don't know where my imported mailboxes are currently being stored. 
    Thanks

    You can sometimes get the URL to the .SWF (flash) file by examinig the "Activity Window" in Safari.
    Once you have your hands on the direct URL to that file, you can dump it into a HTML link tag, save as HTML and use it to download the file.
    Example:
    in Textedit, open a new file, put this in it...
    This is the link
    then save as whatevername.html
    Just double-click the new HTML file, Safari will open it up. Then CTRL+Click the link, and select "Download Linked File".

  • Where is Import

    Hi,
    I can see a menu item called export within the tool. But, where is import? BTW, I also noted the export doesn't seem to work like you expect it to. If you select tables and packages only packages will export. If you export table, it only exports the structure, not data!!. I have never seen an "apply" button doing the actual job. I would have expected a "Run" button to actually do the export. Apply is normally to set an environment variable. Isn't it?
    Anyway, I cannot expect more from ORACLE, can I?. It took more than 20 years to recognise there is some thing called "GUI" (Graphical user interface) in this world!!. You will see about 10 items installed in your program group if you install an ORACLE client. I wonder how many of them are useful? "Configuration and Migration Tools", "INTTYPE file assistant" what is that all about!!
    We also have to remember this is for a product which is more than 10 times expensive than SQL Server/Sybase. Hope this is the first towards recognising the "real" world! ORACLE you got a big challenge ahead. Good luck!!
    -AK

    So you haven't got my point? Okay, here they are:
    1. Missing an option for import. If you want me to
    use command line "imp" utility I can use "exp" for
    export and SQL*Plus for creating a data chunk for
    SQL*Loader as well, can't I? Then why this tool? I
    thought you want make things easier.This tool does database editing and browsing, PL/SQL coding and debugging. Why incorporate functionality in a V1.0 tool which is already available.
    >
    2. Some what fiddly options for export itself. As
    said, try exporting tables and packages (I have about
    20 of these) together and watch the result. Then,
    reply. I got embarrassed by this after sending the
    script to the IT people. >Then, the "apply" button.
    I've just tried that and managed to export both packages and tables...
    3. You have to search for the exported file. Try
    saving the result of export other than the default
    folder. It won't take it. It will still put in the
    default .. into a file in the location I specified. You must be doing something wrong.
    (Even that is wrong. The default windows
    user home is C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My
    Documents NOT just C:\Documents and
    Settings\USER_NAME.).
    No. The default user home is C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%. The default document location is %HOME%\My Documents, but defaulting to the home directory gives you more flexibility. Who wants sql scripts mixed in with Word docs?
    4. Though I was a bit carried away by ORACLE's
    issues. I can show 1000's people out there agreeing
    with me on ORACLE's user interfaces, especially the
    utilities installed along with the client. Don't
    think I am an MS freak. Though I uses other databases
    time to time, I have been actively using ORACLE for

  • Import XML data to textfields in a PDF file

    Can I use LiveCycle Designer 8.2 to auto populate textfields in a PDF-file with data from a XML-file when the user opens the PDF-file? If so, how will I do it? Is there any guide?
    It works fine in the Livecycle Designer preview but when I open the PDF-file all textfields are empty. It also works fine if I import data from a OLEDB-connection.
    Regards
    Mikael Forssell

    I'm looking for a solution for the same thing. I have a pdf form with fields bound to an xml file, but Acrobat will only import the data manually (Forms / Manage Form Data / Import Data) and Reader doesn't work at all.
    Tech Support says that when in Livecycle, you're working in an xml environment, so the 'Preview PDF' works. Acrobat and Reader aren't xml environments, so they won't display the data.
    What we need is a javascript programmer who can figure this out. Possibly using the remerge function. Anyone???

  • Hide URL in PDF output in hyperlink , Maintain History within reports

    hi
    i have some issues to discuss for report output in pdf format.
    we are using java application to call reports via AS 10g, my issue are
    1) Hide URL in PDF output for hyperlink created.(Using username/password in Key is not enough)
    2) Maintain history as i call second report from my parent report then i want to go back to parent report.(Note here go.history or history.go(-1) work in HTML output format but not in PDF)
    3)To Call Child PDF report in new window(here again working fine target="_blank" for HTML output but not for PDF)
    regards
    abid

    Hi Ram,
    Not sure if this is possible.
    However, one workaround might be the following:
    1. Write a javascript that submits the URL using, say a POST method, and does not show the parameters in the URL. You will have to write this javascript code in the "Before Report" Report Escape. For a generic example on how to use javascript in a report, see Metalink Note 125652.1. This note shows javascript to disable the right-click of the mouse on the report output.
    2. Use the Hyperlink peroperty of the report to call this javascript function, eg,
    javascript:myfunction('http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=...+server=...+empno=&empno')
    I am not a javascript expert, so I cannot give you an example of the function, but I hope someone in your team can find out.
    Navneet.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

    Hi again,
    Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
    In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
    Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
    I hope the scenario is understandable

    PS: During the various projects I am working on I keep running into problems...however I am totally new to LiveCycle so I consider this very informative learning steps and appreciate all your help :-)

    Hi again,<br /><br />I have been experimenting a little with both the renderPDFForm and importData services. However I don't seem to be ble to make them work as I  need them to.<br /><br />My scenario is simple, I have one (call it a template xdp/PDF form) and lots of data in xml files (around 1000), that I need to import into the template. Therefore I have set up a "Watched Folder" to take the xml as a document (I guess this is a requirement) and then I need either the renderPDF or importData services to import the xml data into the template.<br /><br />I would like to know how I should setup the services to make this work.<br /><br />When I try to use importdata I setup the following:<br /><br />PDF document: set to be the template i need to import the xml to)<br /><br />Input data: the document variable (an xml file) that is passed to the   Watched Folder<br /><br />Data merged PDF: set to an out xfaform<br /><br />When I do this I get an Coercion error in the server log:<br /><br />2007-11-15 13:27:05,324 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] stalling action-instance: 1506 with message: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error.<br />     at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toDOMDocument(CoercionUtil.java:656)<br />     at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:878)<br />     at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:803)<br />     at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.coerceFrom(Abs tractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:64)<br />     at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.getNode (AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:47)<br />     at com.adobe.workflow.dom.VariableElement.setBoundValue(VariableElement.java:93)<br />     at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataValue(PATExecutionCo ntextImpl.java:729)<br />     at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataWithExpression(PATEx ecutionContextImpl.java:335)<br />     at com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.service.SetValueService.execute(SetValueService.java:46)<br />...<br />Caused by: ALC-DSC-119-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.InvalidCoercionException: Cannot coerce object: <document state="passive" senderVersion="3" persistent="false" senderPersistent="true" passivated="true" senderPassivated="true" deserialized="true" senderHostId="127.0.0.1/172.16.10.125" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="7" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="8039" contentType="application/xml" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><form1><br />  <sub_BlanketTop /><br />  <sub_SubjectTop><br />    <f...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName>adobe/idp/DocumentPullServant/adobejb_server1</s enderPullServantJndiName><attributes file="c:\NCRConvert\ProcessForm\stage\Wx450d4b32843a0b0bcb8ef99e\NCR-00564_dXAE3soH.xml"/ ></document> of type: com.adobe.idp.Document to type: interface org.w3c.dom.Document<br />     at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)<br />     at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)<br /><br />However it is possible to manually import the xml data in Acrobat Professional without any problems.<br /><br />When I use the renderPDFForm with the following settings:<br /><br />Form to render: literal value that points to the template<br /><br />Form data: document variable from watched folder (xml)<br /><br />Content Root URI: repository://<br /><br />With these settings I also get a coercion error, however it does not seem to be exactly the same.<br /><br />Sincerely<br />Kim

  • How to show a nice URL in Browser URL navigator?

    How to show a nice URL in Browser URL navigator?
    Hello
    Arquitecture:
    Internet --- Machine1 (Apache like Proxy Reverse and rewrite) --- MAchine2 (GLASSFISH-APEX LISTENER 2.0.1) --- DATABASE
    That application will be like a directory of products, we need a nice indexation inside google, yahoo, etc...
    We want to build an application with APEX, with a nice custom URL. like http:\\domain\pagina1\pagina2\pagina3
    Limitations:
    * We can not use frame
    Actually, We obtained that when we write in a browsers URL domain "the domain" redirect to "http://domain/apex/f?p=600", and that appear in "browser url" but we want to know if is posible to change that without use frames.
    Thanks.

    Interesting Morten states that "You can use Apache with mod_rewrite to set up mapping between REST-style URLs to your Apex pages...", I've seen no working examples of how to do this with Apache because mod_rewrite is very limited in it's ability to process the query string part of the URL, with all the APEX stuff we need to refer to.
    Morten if you are reading this, what's the secret man?
