Integrating Adobe Professional with Java webapps: resources? introductions?

I'm interested in learning what resources there are for integrating Java and Adobe Professional, in general.
If it helps, my projects already use the Spring Framework.
My boss is particularly interested in being able to fill out a PDF form from within a Java webapp and have that data go directly to our database.
She mentioned that .net had a lot of bridges to Adobe Professional.
I would rather have new projects be in Java so I am eager to find if there are any easy bridges between Java and Adobe Professional for more than just the one task I mentioned.
I would greatly appreciate the names of resources and links to introductions in integrating the features Adobe Acrobat Professional has to offer with Java web technology as this is a completely new area to me.
Thanks
Steve

You have different options when you add a submit function to a PDF form:
- Submit the data via a standard HTML forms submission, the web server
does not have to know anything about PDF, the data look just like it would
from a HTML form
- Submit the data via the FDF/XFDF format. This is Adobe's forms data
file format (and it's XML version). As far as I know, there is only one
instance where you would need FDF, and that is with files that are
submitted via a forms submission. For FDF/XFDF submissions, you need to
parse the FDF/XFDF file format and extract the data before you can process
it.
- Submit the whole PDF fie with the form data embedded. This is the most
complex solution for data extraction, but the most convenient when you
submit the filled out form via email to human - we do much better seeing
the whole PDF with the data in the right spots. If you submit the whole
PDF, your software needs to be able to parse the PDF. I would not go that
route for a system that is extracting the data via software.
Hope that helps.

Are there any recent tutorials or information for integrating Adobe Flex with Ruby on Rails 4?

I've combed and searched extensively and most of the documentation is anywhere from 4 to 7 years old. A lot of it focuses on outdated gems or libraries. I've even seen Rails 2.0 as a focus for a lot of this information.
I would just like to know if anyone has any valid resources for the latest Adobe Flex integrating with a Rails 4.x application. And, if so, where is this hidden information listed or located?
Thanks.

Adobe Flex with Java webdynpro

Hello,
I like to use Adobe flex applications for my webdynpro java projects which then later I can use in portals. I need some learning materials for that. I was looking from google but I haven't found many sources. if you guys can help me out then It would be great.
Regards,
NK

Hi Bala,
Adobe Flex is not similar to Java Webdynpro. You can get more information from the Adobe Webpage and also a trial version. Adobe Flex is part of Visual Composer Compiler capabilities. At SAP TechEd in Munich was an interessting demo of rendering webdynpro with Flex during the Demo Jam. For more information you can download the Demo Jam Video <a href="http://www.sapteched.com/emea/activities/videos/DemoJam.wmv">here.</a>

Integrating Crystal reports with Java Portal (test=pluto,Prod=Vignette

Hi,
Crystal reports is new to me...so please don't mind if i sound outright silly, and would love a shove in the correct direction.
This question might have been asked here (I tried searching for this.)
Problem: We have some old CR9 reports with us which we want to migrate to our Portal installation Vignette Portal.
I have seen some Portal integration kits but after having a look at them it seems it is ir-relevant to us...as it requires some server running...we don't have that.

Update:
After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
Best Regards
Florian

Using Adobe Professional with NIH grant forms

Has anyone discovered a way to work with Mac OS 10.6.8, Adobe Pro 10 and the electronic forms one must use in order to prepare NIH grant proposals? The forms will no longer open and I understand from NIH that this is because of the conflict between the Mac OS and the Adobe version use to create the application forms.

I think I made a mistake and upgraded to 10.1.1, as I'm still unable to open the Fed forms. Even tho I have the most recent version, I get the message:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
Is it possible to "downgrade" to v. 10.1?
Thanks.

Integrating Adobe CQ5 with Oracle WebCenter/UCM and OIM

Hello, I'm looking for strategies to integrate CQ5 and Webcenter for following areas:
1. Where CQ5 can act as page aggregator and portlets implemented on WebCenter side can be integrated on webpage which resides on CQ5. How the session information from WebCenter can be propagated and maintained in CQ5 side as well?
2. Integrate CQ5 with OIM for security and authentication purpose.
3. Integrate DAM and Oracle UCM for Assests access across DAM and UCM.
Any pointers in this direction would be helpful.

Integrating Adobe Forms with WD

Hi,
I have a Adobe form, this form have input fields, radio button, check buttons and buttons as per client required format.
Now my question is shall we need to create again same inputfields, radio buttons and etc in WD (UI elements) as like the form.
Regards,
Maruti
Edited by: Maruti Rao on May 22, 2008 3:53 PM
The requirement is to enable client Customers and Users to create/change Adobe form in the SAP system via the client Website.

I think I might be missing something in your question. If you already have an Adobe Form, just use that in place within Web Dynpro. It can be embbed in your Web Dynpro application using the InteractiveForm UI element. You can bind your Web Dynpro context directly to the context of the Adobe Form. There is no need to have to reproduce the form in WD UI element - although doing so is perfectly possible. I guess that is where I am missing your question. What exactly are you trying to acomplish?

Saving a PDF form with Adobe Professional

I have Adobe professional with LiveCycle. I want to create a simple form that I sent to people. They fill it out and send it back. But the forms I create don't allow me to save changes when I open them in a Reader. This is so basic! I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Hello
When you work with live cycle designer you create your form and you save it. Then, when you want to send it to people you use the assistant with create 2 other different files :
1) A publication form that you will send by mail
2) A blank form that you will fill with information the user sent to you
So, call the assistant create the 2 files but don't send them to people and save them locally. Open the second file and fill it in reader, you will see you will save change.

I'd look at using ExternalInterface to fire of the js methods

Writing Illustrator scripts with Java not javascript

Hi all, I am an experienced Java developer, I want to ask about can I write scripts in Adobe Illustrator with Java rather than javascript, I mean Did Adobe make Java API for Illustrator?
Thanks

Hello,
1) no, but c++, called plugin API ( Java Native Interface ? )
2) maybe ask here for plain Java binding : http://scriptographer.org/news/a-new-release/ (written in java) ?

Image not showing in Abobe integrated with Java WebDynPro

Hi All,
Image is not showing in Abobe integrated with Java WebDynPro.
I did the following:
Added the image field in adobe form. in URL value set the value of context node binding. Binding set to none and size set to Use Original Size.
Then in script editor i wrote
this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
at innitialize , javascript and client.
I can see the image from the same url context value if image field is created directly in WebDynPro View.
Can anyone suggest what is missing?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuzhat

Try changing your line of code for this one
this.value.image.href = xfa.record.Images.URL;
Check that the url passed by scripting is correct with a messageBox for example.
You can also try assigning a hardcoded url at scripting level to check if its works.
Best regards, Aldo.

JSF webapp works with Java 1.4, but not Java EE 5

Hello
I am having a really weird problem with internationalizing my JavaServer Faces web application.
I am using Netbeans 6.0, Tomcat 6.0.10, JSF 1.2, and JTSL 1.1....
If I use Java 1.4 to run the webapp, everything works fine!
If I use Java EE 5 then it fails to execute internationalization of my choosen locale.
I could just use Java 1.4 and have my site working fine, but I would really like to use Java EE 5 since it can do more. Also I don't see why it can work on one version of Java but not another. My locales are English (en) and Korean (ko).
This is my index.jsp

This has a key word "language" which is "Language" in the 'en' locale file and "��" in the 'ko' locale file.
Once again when using Java 1.4 this project runs fine, however with Java EE 5 it does not.
You may notice in my index.jsp that I have <h:outputText value="#{localeBean.language}"/>
I use this to display the locale that has been chosen by my select box. Even when this shows a different language has been chosen the page does still not display in the correct language. According to <f:view locale="#{localeBean.language}"> then the locale of the page should be changed.
I have looked over the web quite far for an answer to this problem. But everyone else seems to be using a similar method of loading up a message bundle and using it the same way I am. However my method does not work.
Any suggestions or clues to what is going wrong would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance^^

it seems that the
<f:view locale="en">
only work if a ressource bundle with the locale sufix '_en' is provided.
Everything works now if I provide 3 ressouce files:
global_en.properties
global_de.properties
global.properties
global.properties and global_en.properties are identically!
But if I delete the global_en.properties file always the global_de.properties file wins before the default properties.
I did not expect such a behavior :-(
