Insert a dynamic link form R/3 into image field in PDF.

Hi gurus ,
I am using a wd java application . In that i want to show employee pic in adobe form . I have RFC in place , that gives me URL (ex : http://retep.... ) containing employee pic Context is of type string
Now i have craeted a image field in PDF . but i am not sure about scripting and how to bind that context to image field , so that based on the url it dynamically displayes employee pic.
Any suggestions are most welcome .
Regards
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
If u are getting the URL from the R/3, then set the type of the context variable to the model type rather than making it as a String.
map the type of the context variable to the type present in the RFC
Hope this helps u
Regards,

Reduce file size of image a user loads into image field in form

Hello,
I'm a Mediadesigner from Germany and I started to work with Lifcycle Designer about a year ago.
I already made some smaller forms with different fields.
Now I have a special form with empty image fields, that allow the user to put in his images.
For the form goes out to so many different people, some of them just take the images as they are, load them into the form and so the filesize of the pdf grows. For your information: the filled out pdf will be sent back to us by e-mail.
So here is my question: is it possible to reduce the filesize of that images when it is loaded into the fild or when the filled in form is saved.
For example that I can say: "Take all images and make them 72dpi and max. height 500px"?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,
there is now way to reduce the real file size or dimension of an imported image.
But you can checkt the file size and show a warning to the users to use a smaller file.
Here's a sample which describes how to do so:

Getting image from attachment into image field in a form

Hi all,
I have a process where a customer sends in a PDF with an attached image. This image is then stored in a process variable and I need to put it in another form.
Any ideas how to do this most efficiently?
Sincerely
Kim

Hi Paul,
I did what you suggested, here goes in more detail:
1. I use processFormSubmission for getting the attacment out of the document (might be possible in another way though).
2. I loop through the list of attachments to get to one I need
3. When I find it I use "getDocContentBase64(doc)" method and saves to string
4. I store the string in my xfaform (in a normal textfield)
5. On the form I have some simple code on initialize that sets the data from the textfield to be assigned to the image field for the image.
Thats it...simple eh :)
PS: There is a glitch in the Help for LC 8.2, it says that there is a " getDocFromBase64(aString)" method available, but it is not there...
Sincerely
Kim

Drag image file from portfolio pdf into image field in reader

I'm new to the Adobe world and this is my first project. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but here's what I'm trying to do...
One document is a PDF portfolio with 200 images (jpg or tif). Each image in the portfolio will have a description. The second document is a PDF form created in LiveCycle. I want to be able to (from Reader with rights enabled) import the image from the portfolio into a field and have that image displayed along with the description all inside the form. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi, I'm using CS4 and would love to be able to drag n drop straight to a new layer in an existing file.
At present when I drag n drop I get a new image in PS. I then have to move this to my existing image. I have tried draging to the tab, the layer box, the image, the blank space, using shift,ctrl & alt.
A simple how to would be nice

InDesign equivalent of LiveCycle's "Image Field" in PDF form creation?

LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "Image Field". We add this field to the PDF files we create so that our end users can select and import a JPEG image into their PDF document using Adobe Reader.
Now we would like to use InDesign to produce the same PDF form files as an alternative to using LiveCycle. Does InDesign have a PDF form field like LiveCycle's "Image Field"? We haven't found it yet.
In other words, does someone know in InDesign how to create a field in PDF forms which has the same functionality as LiveCycle's "Image Field"? LiveCycle's field works in enabled Adobe Reader files, and permits JPEG format, among others.
Thank you,
Kevin
P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality by using JavaScript, but the Acrobat Pro created documents only permit Adobe Reader to import PDF files, not JPEG or other image formats. So Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle for creating our PDF files. We'd like to know if we need to rule out InDesign, too.

It's worth separating out the different responsibilities and products.
Whether a functionality exists in Reader depends on the Acrobat team. Reader, being free, is limited by design, the aim of the design being to sell copies of Acrobat. Obviously, Reader can't make PDFs or do preflighting. Less obviously, there are a bunch of JavaScript functions that don't work. Sometimes, with Reader enabling, more functions become available. (There are different kinds of Reader enabling, some of which need very expensive extra products).
Whether a form capability exists at all is largely down to the PDF specification (now an ISO standard) or the XFA specification. Adobe can choose to go beyond the specification but largely choose not to.
So, the InDesign team can make form fields, not because the Acrobat team approves, but because the way this is done is written down in the PDF Specification. InDesign _could_ choose to make XFA forms, but thank goodness that will never happen.
So, if you want InDesign forms to do something you first have to ask: can Acrobat forms to this. NOT XFA (LIveCycle forms) which are done by a different team to different rules. So far as I know Acrobat forms cannot do the sort of thing you want; that is, placing arbitrary graphics, but in certain circumstances they can place PDF files.
Why make the distinction?
- If Acrobat can make forms that do this, then so can InDesign: it's worth asking the InDesign people to do it.
- If Adobe limit Adobe Reader, there is no use asking the InDesign team to solve this.
- If Acrobat can't make forms that do this, then nor can InDesign.

Dynamically linking a Numbers graph into Pages document

I want to creat a Pages 5.2 document that uses a graph made in Numbers 3.1 -- I see that the older versions of iWork allow for this. Can anyone help me do this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Tom.

The Link feature is gone. You can use the old version and have the feature you miss, or you can soldier on with the new one. Numbers is still the best place to build and edit Charts. Once you have Pasted the Chert into Pages, you can activate the chart and click on Edit Chart Data to expose the underlying table. Then you can Paste the new data, copied from Numbers, to update the Pages chart.

Forms 6i - display into image item picture stored in blob type on database

hi to all
i searched on this forum but in don't found solution my problem.
I created table with a column blob and i design form that insert and display image stored in database ( oracle 9i )
i used image item type with block database based
my version forms is
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.13.0 (Production)
if i define column table like "long raw" it worked but i used blob i insert but i don't display image
error is:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected got
thanks a lot to all
bye

I know, that the false forms-version (patch) gives you this errors. Try a newer patchset. For example patch 13-15 (for 9i), or 17 (10g rel. 1)

Dynamic Linking Frustrations

I don't know if I'm just not getting it, or dynamic linking is something that's only going to work great in CS6. I can't get it to work flawlessly. It's always something.
It does seem to work FLAWLESSLY from AI or PS to After Effects. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! But that's where my love ends.
From AE to Premiere I'm experiencing a lot of problems.
Just as a simple example, I have a very simple motion tracking clip in AE with text coming out from "behind" a tree. (http://www.vimeo.com/18168346 at 0:57 "Have a nice trip"). It looks great in AE, renders out just fine. But when I dynamically link the AEP project into premiere, it gets all choppy and you can see my mask on the tree moving all around. So I go back to AE to see if I bumped the frame rate to 24p from 30p or something, but no. Settings are the same (29.97p) in both AE and PP.
Any AE project that is more complicated than a simple text flying onto the screen seems to bring PP to a standstill and I can't play it back real time; it turns real choppy. Anything complicated won't play back at all, even if I force a render. So I'm forced to render it out as a MOV file from AE, and then import it into PP.... which totally defeats the purpose of the dynamic linking that I so much like to throw in the face of the Final Cutters. I never tell them that I actually have to do the same thing they do since dynamic linking only works on the most basic of things.
Dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore simply doesn't work when importing more than one Premiere project. Has ANYONE out there ever got it work on more than one project? I'm not talking about a 2-hour long movie. I'm talking about importing 6 5-minute Premiere projects/sequences into an Encore project. I get PProHeadless.exe errors left and right. Then if I can actually make it past my build of 6 projects, if I save it and reopen the project, it never, ever, ever EVER opens back up. I get error messages galore and I have to rebuild the project.
I have 3 $4000-6000 monster computers--all different brands. Liquid cooled, i7-980x processors, 24 GB ram, NVidia MPE cards, etc. Dynamic linking on Encore/PP doesn't work on any of them. PERIOD.
Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I am so frustrated with CS5 right now my head is spinning. I've been using Premiere for 8+ years. The concept of dynamic linking is AWESOME! Linking simple things like PSDs IS IN FACT incredible! But doing anything beyond that doesn't seem to have any advantages unless you don't need to watch it played back in the time line. But who in their right mind drops something to the timeline without actually watching it?
Not sure what the purpose of this message even is. I'm an Adobe fanboy and LOVE everything Adobe, but I'm very frustrated with the whole "Dynamic Linking" in practice. I haven't found it a viable option.
HUGE HUGE potential, but falls FAR short!
What's the purpose of being able to dynamically link an After Effects comp into Premiere if you can't actually WATCH it play back in real time?
Maybe I've got the whole thing backwards in my head, but for our team, WORKING dynamic linking is a feature request we'd like to see in CS6.

Dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore simply doesn't work when importing more than one Premiere project. Has ANYONE out there ever got it work on more than one project?
I am feeding it fairly simple sequences, and still SD, but I am seeing none of the problems you report. Recent Encore project had a combination of imported avi, imported m2v, and about 10 or more dynamically linked PR sequences from 8 PR projects. Changes made to several of the PR sequences updated with no problem. I did have one PR sequence that seemed to hang up when opening the Encore project. The workaround was to open that one PR project before opening Encore. I did not worry about it too much, because this was a transition project, and some of the PR projects started as CS3 or CS4. (You do have to open in CS5 and save as for DL to work.)
I have 3 $4000-6000 monster computers--all different brands. Liquid cooled, i7-980x processors, 24 GB ram, NVidia MPE cards, etc. Dynamic linking on Encore/PP doesn't work on any of them. PERIOD.
I have a i7 930 and only 6G of ram. My budget build to move to Win7 and CS5 (for SD).

Dynamic Link Manager terminates at start

Hi!
Everytime I try to start PE i get an errormessage telling me that "Dynamic Link Manager has run into a problem and has to terminate".
Very irritating. I use 9.0.1 - Swedish version. I run XP Pro SP3, GigaByte Ep35-DS4, Intel Quad Q9300, 2.5 GHz, #.5 GB RAM.
Here is the errormessage:

*Dear mr. Smith,
Thanks for your swift reply, I really appreciate it.
Yes, PreEL worked before but I can't understan what has changed since. BTW,
your suggestion to Press/HOLD CtrlAltShift produced the same result:
Dynamic Link Manager terminated.
Perhaps I have to reinstall the program again?

How to create a dynamic link in a Form to link to a specific FOLDER

Hello,
I have created a reports of all employees of my department.
This reports shows me the empno and ename
When I clicked on a empno ( for example empno = 1 ) then then I got a MASTER DETAIL FORM about that employee(empno = 1) .
Who he or she is and which course he or she had followed.
I want create a dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM which shows me directly the folder of that employee ( in this example folder 1 ).
If I clickt on the report with all employees of my department on an other number ( for example empno = 3333333) then if I click on the dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM I want to see the folder of employee 3333333 !!! You know what I mean ?
What I want to know is, how to create a dynamic link that shows me directly a folder which is dependent on which empno I had clicked on in the report ( report with employee numbers and ename )
Is there any way to pass some parameters into a link to a Folder ? Is this possible in Portal ? Does anyone know how to do this, or do you have a suggestion how to solve this problem ?
Thanks a lot !!!
Chu Lam

Hi Chetan,
I am glad that someone had replied on my question.
I will explain it to you again.
I have created a report that shows me all employees. If I click on a employee number then I get an MASTER DETAIL FORM on my screen with all the information(where he works now and which number I have to dial ifhow can I reach him by telephone) of that employee on which number I clicked on.
I really like this mechanism. (You click on a number and the information that you see in the next screen is dependent of the number you clicked on ! )I have created all this. It works fine.
What I want is to expand this example.
Every employee has a FOLDER (yes, those ones in Content Area ) which they can insert text or image into that folder. The folder name is just the employee number. ( employee with employee number 3303, he owns a folder which is named 3303 and an employee with empno 9999, he or she owns a folder with the name 9999. )
Every employee can tell more about himself in that FOLDER by iserting text and images. For example : What he likes, pictures of his vacation, something like this.
What I want is this :
If I click on the first report,which provides me all employees on screen, on a employee number 3303 then I get a Master Detail Form on my screen with all information about that employee with employee number 3303. And I want in this MASTER DETAIL FORM to create a link that shows me directly the FOLDER of that employee ( 3303), so I can learn more about employee with employee number 3303. But I don't know how to create this link.
That link had to be dependent on the employee number. The difficult thing about this link is that this link had to be dynamic.
I hope this will make it clear to you :
(report all employees:)
empno ename
3301 john smith
3302 peter clark
3303 wilson jones
If I click on a empno ( for example 3303) then I get a MASTER DETAIL FORM which provides me information.
(MASTER DETAIL FORM )
EMPNO 3303
ENAME wilson jones
department New York
mobile number 98908763
Company tel. no day
AOL 097485838 monday till wednesday
Oracle 04848584333 thursday and friday
LINK
(what I want is to create a link here )
If I click on LINK in this MASTER DETAIL FORM then I want to link to the FOLDER of this employee ! ( In this example it is FOLDER 3303.
BUT IF I CLICKED ON THE FIRST REPORT ON A DIFFERENT NUMBER ( FOR EXAMPLE 3301) THEN IF I CLICK ON LINK IN THE MASTER DETAIL FORM THEN I HAVE TO LINKED TO FOLDER 3301.
I just want to know how to make a link like this ( create a dynamic link to a specific folder ).
Thanks in Advance.

Trying to load a javascript link from text file into a dynamic textfile

Can anyone help me with this problem? Im trying to load in a
newsfeed from freshcontent.net into my text field. If i put this
javascript link on an html page, the page shows correctly, which is
im supposed to get 3 dynamic links with news content headlines.
Please view the link to see what i mean:
http://www.freshcontent.net/directory/real-estate/real_estate.html
Now, i cannot get this same type of display behavior in my
text field if i just paste into my text file the javascript link
thats supposed to bring up the 3 headlines. It is my understanding,
that flash cannot do this without some sort of specific
actionscripting, that involves asfusion, and/or externalInterface.
Im not sure exactly how to go about setting this up to make this
work. My current code looks like this:
If anybody could tell me where im going wrong and what i
should change in order to get the desired result im going for, Id
very much appreciate it. Thanks

well sorry there fanmap - but I don't think you're going to
be able to get this to work. here's why: the link points to a php
file - which gathers dynamic info from a DB - the return from the
php is generating a string that is based on the DOM and
'constructs' a javascript method that in turn writes to the html
document. although we can embed html into a textField in Flash
there are a limited number of supported html tags - and JS methods
will not operate internally. in addition, (i'm not certain someone
correct this if i'm off) there's no way to 'change' the output of
the php call, therefore you will not be able to read the return
because it is designed to use the DOM and write solely to the
current document. Even if you were to access the JS method from the
swf file (which one can) it will still only write the content of
the php return to the html document - and the output is not
compatible with the textField class.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

How to insert an HTML link into a page

Hello,
We have a list of documents in a external document management system. We would like to present the list of documents to the user for retrieval from within any SRM HTML page.
I was thinking of two different approaches:
1) I would like to be able to insert an HTML link to a URL of documents for display to the end user.
2) Alternatively, we might want to inject some javascript into the screen to handle the presentation of the links.
We would like this functionality to work on any of the screens within SRM as global functionality.
Any suggestions on how to customize SRM to handle this functionality request?
(Will reward points very quickly)
Thanks

Hi,
My project has a requirement to show URL in Bid Invitation screen. In turn, when user clicks that hyperlink, it will pop-up a web dynpro screen.
Maybe this is the same with your need.
In case this is the same, the trick is to define an additional field in bid invitation custom header with customized data element and customized domain.
Then, defined conversion exit for the domain with javascript line such as "<html> bla bla </html>" to pop-up the web dynpro screen in modal dialog.
The result will be as what I have above.
Hopefully this can help you.

Dynamic Links in Form

Is there a way to create dynamic links in a form?
For instance I have an interactive report/form if I click on the edit link the report takes me to the form to do an update based on the primary keys. I would like that form to also have links that can pass some foreign key values and take me to a related form to edit the related information.

That is what I am trying to do, but I am unsure of how to pass the appropriate string with the values of the foreign/primary key.
I am using the following URL, but the form doesn't seem to be populating based on the primary key
