Is it possible to create an "interactive table" within acrobat?

I am trying to create and shorten an existing large document, and one option that would be very helpful is to have a drop down table selection. To elaborate:
have a selection button that would allow user to select a specific option, then this option would bring up or allow a selectable table - the tables would be multi-entry tables which users of the document can enter in data within the table fields - can this be done?
One other option could be the selection button does not have to "pull" up the specific table or be directly linked, but as long as the users can make a selection in one field, then select a specific table...this would work. So to simplify this, can multiple tables be inserted into a drop down menu?

thanks again - I really think that layout will really work and I can make the initial top level drop down specific to the equipment and the tables or text fields below that will really work.
now what would be the best avenue to add additional entry fields into each? can I just do a "select object" and copy / paste this below the existing?
here is example of the tables:
EQUIPMENT VERSION 1 TEST 1
PARAMETER
VALUE
BASE PRESSURE
START PRESSURE
END PRESSURE
SYSTEM VOLUME
ACCEPTANCE THRESHOLD
EQUIPMENT VERSION 2 TEST 3
TIME
PRESSURE
COMMENT
TIME
PRESSURE
COMMENT
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
The remaininig cells will allow user to enter in basic data taken from tests they are performing on the equipment, but the tables (created here in the discussion) will look very similar to these two tables....and they will slighly vary with some of the cell assignments between one type of equipment to the next ) which again I want to create a "drop down" selection at the header of the page that will select the specific equipment.
and thanks again for the helpful info -

Is it possible to create bidirectional multiselect tables? Help.

Hey everyone (once again since you are in fact great in helping me out),
I was wondering if it would be possible to create bidirectional multiselect tables to interact to each other, like the behaviour qlikview has, since thats my goal.
Imagine that i have 3 tables in my schema/database:
Departments (from HR schema), with the following attributes: department_id (primary key), department_name, manager_id, location_id;
Salary_by_job (created for this purpose), with the following attributes: job_id (primary key), department_id, salary, min_salary, max_salary;
Employees (from HR schema), with the following attributes: employee_id,......, job_id, salary, manager_id, department_id
Can it be possible to creat bidirectional multiselect tables?
Like the following:
- I click on a department, it shows the data relevant to that department in the salary_by_job table and in the employees table.
And after clicking that, i could click on one employee and the department table would look the same (because its a employee from the same department) but the salary_by_job would only show the information regarding the job_id from that employee.
I'll try to show it from text in here:
Department (selected row = 1) = Department of Information (which has 3 employees)
Employees = X (with the job_id = admin), Y (with the job_id = manager) and Z (with the job_id = intern)
Salary_by_job = Admin, with data bla bla bla, Manager, with the data bla bla bla and Intern, with the data bla bla bla
And next i would click on the Employee X and the result would be:
Department (selected row = 1) = Department of Information (which has 3 employees)
Employees = X (with the job_id = admin)
Salary_by_job = Admin, with data bla bla bla
Can something like that be done? If so, how?
I'm thinking of doing that with bindings attached to each table and having the bindings go back and forth.
If someone has a idea of how to do this, please respond, it may be usefull.
Thanks so much for all the help. Have a wonderfull day!
Regards,
Frederico Barracha.
BTW, i'm using jdeveloper 12.1.2.0.0

FredericoSB,
Have you tried adding a setPropertyListener for the tables and change the collectionModel for the 3rd table accordingly?
Ex : Assume you have three tables, Parent (VL)->Child (VL)->GrandChild. There is a relation between Parent (VL)->GrandChild.
Now, you can have tree bindings for both the GrandChilds (say GrandChildViaParent and GrandChildViaChild).
Your jspx could be something like
<af:table id="parent" value="#{bindings.Parent.collectionModel}"...... />
<af:table id="child" value="#{bindings.Child.collectionModel}"...../>
<af:table id="grandchild" value="#{bindings.GrandChild.collectionModel}" ..../>
If all your tables are read-only, then you could change this to something like
<af:table id="parent" value="#{bindings.Parent.collectionModel}"...... >
<af:setPropertyListener from="Parent" to="#{viewScope.tableName}" type="selection"/>
</af:table>
<af:table id="child" value="#{bindings.Child.collectionModel}".....>
<af:setPropertyListener from="Child" to="#{viewScope.tableName}" type="selection"/>
</af:table>
<af:table id="grandchild" partialTriggers="parent child" value="#{viewScope.tableName=='Parent'?bindings.GrandChildViaParent.collectionModel:bindings.GrandChildViaChild.collectionModel}" ..../>
This is just a sample. You could implement the same for all the properties in the grandchild table as EL to make it editable as well.
This is without coding. If you care to code a bit, you could use a Dynamic Table in place and bind the value accordingly in each of the table's selectionListener (which would be a neat approach)

Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

Hi every body,
I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
Please help me out.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
naveen.

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Jocelyn

Is it possible to create a menu structure within iWeb with a so called tree layout? iWeb only provides automatically a horizontal layout

Is it possible to create a menu structure within iWeb with a so called tree layout? iWeb only provides automatically a horizontal layout

Not in iWeb itself.
You have to create these menus yourself. Start here :
     A List Apart: Articles: Suckerfish Dropdowns
Also, see podcast episode 9 of
     CSS Tricks and Tips
and then add them to a webpage with the HTML Snippet.
Or add the menu to the webpage with a JavaScript.
Here's a sample page :

Is it possible to create an interactive graph/chart using Report Builder 3.0?

Hi All,
I am using Report Builder for the first time. Here is what I am trying to accomplish. The data I plan to use in Report Builder is coming from SQL Server and in the Report Builder I want to create an interactive graph(chart).
For example, The table in SQL Server consists of Hospital Name, Measure name, and Scores for each measures for different quarters.
The idea is to create a graph that will allow the user to pick the measure name(from a drop down list or something similar) and Hospital name, then the graph will display the measure scores for different quarters and corresponding target scores for that
particular Hospital.
The data in SQL server looks like this :
measure
MC_NM
q112
q212
q312
XXY
TARGET
0.9
0.9

Is this is possible to do in Report Builder 3.0? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I was able to create the parameters and now able to select the measure and facility and display that data in the table and chart.
Now I am trying to see if I can add a line(target values) on top of the column chart to show the whether the scores of each measures, for each quarters are how far from the target values.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Is it possible to create a new table in the master database with SSMS ?

Hello ,
I have problems with this thread :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/5153c43b-7844-41c4-a414-d14730abe435/
If no user database has been created , in SSMS , we can see only the 5 system databases ( master, msdb , tempdb... ).
Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used to install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and especially dbcreator ).
Is it true that it is impossible to create a new table on the master database ?
I have done many researches about this possibility , all I have found is the advice : don't touch to the master database. This database is used to store critical information about the instance and its user databases. Even in the last book of Kalen Delaney
about SQL Server 2012 Internals , I have found nothing clear about the creation of tables in this database ( and what about the other system databases ? I am excluding tempdb ).
If someone has an idea about this thread and my questions , I would be thankful for a reply on this thread or on the related thread in the SQL Server Express Forum ( with my poor written English , I am not sure to have poster in a correct and understandable
way ).
If you think that this thread is not in the good forum , a moderator of this forum can move this related thread ( I have not done the move as I am not sure which is the good forum Database Engine or Transact-SQL ... )
Thanks beforehand and have a nice day.
Mark Post as helpful if it provides any help.Otherwise,leave it as it is.

>>Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used
to >>install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and >>especially dbcreator ).
If you add the current user during the installation you can have it as system admin , or you can add him/her later on
in SQL Server. BTW regarding dbcreator I have wrote some blog , need to read... :-)
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/archive/2010/09/02/be-careful-to-grant-dbcreator-server-role-to-the-user.aspx
You can (if you have needed permissions) to create objects in master database, usually I create objects for instance maintenance (like rebuild indexes...)

Is it possible to create an internal table with FOX?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to call a function module from FOX formula (standard functionality). It would help me if I could pass data to the FM in an internal table. Unfortunately I am not sure if this is somehow possible in FOX. I could create the internal table in the FM also, but the FOX-possibility would be more convenient.
I will appreciate if anyone can clarify this.
Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
Yes, calling a function module through FOX is simpler. Use 'CALL FUNCTION' to call FM "RSPC_CHAIN_START" and pass the required parameters within your FOX formula.
Chk this for reference too:

Is it possible to create an internal table in XI??

Hi Experts,
My scenario is IDoc to JDBC. Some fields are direct mapping but where in my requirement is like this.
Need to create one internal table with 6 fields. In this one field would be Counter and remaining are populated with the IDoc fields data. Counter field should be added depending on IDoc segments. If the particular segment is repeating 5 times 5 records need to be populated in Internal table.
Then these 5 records should be mapped to JDBC Table.
I don't how to handle this situation?
Pl provide some ideas...

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

Using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 (with ASP or JSP), is it possible to create a StarOffice, Word or Acrobat document using a template and merging it with data from a database (say Oracle)?

Hi,
It is possible, But it has to be done through codes and iPlanet Web Server has nothing to do with it. But if you want to create the word document by ASP you have to install ASP plugin like ChilliASP (from Chilisoft) with iPlanet Web Server.Merging with database can be done through your code.

Creating an interactive form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

Can anyone advise if what I am planning is possible given the version I am using. I am using a Mac.
I am trying to create a briefing form for a design studio that will allow people requesting artwork to enter the relevant information (dates, page count etc.) and then for the form to calculate the number of days that it will take and the cost (based on a daily rate x number of days).
The form will initally be produced in InDesign CS5 and exported as a PDF and then edited in Acrobat Pro 9.5. Essentially, the form needs to be able to calculate date ranges (i.e. number of work days between two dates) and then calculate prices based on a daily work rate (which would be hidden to the user). I would also need it to calculate totals say based on the following example:
1-2 page document - allow ten days.
For every additional 2 pages add a day
"Is photography required?" If yes, add a day for up to 5 photos. etc.
Before I even attempt this, I need to know if it is even possible given the version I am using. If not, I will explore doing it in Excel, but I would far prefer using Acrobat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible to do the calculations using JavaScript. The hardest part may be determining what's a working day and what's not. If it's certain days of the week (Mon-Fri) it's not too much of a problem, but it can get complicated if you have to contend with holidays or other irregular non-work days.

Is it possible to create different font styles within the same text field?

The form I am creating is getting really complex because when different fields require different font treatments (bold, italic, different font size, different font) I have to create a seperate text box and get it to align with the others. This wouldn't be an issue in most cases but this form is really detailed and has many text boxes. Before I stuggle too much longer on it, I thought I would check and see if there is a way to make them all in the same text field. If not, perhaps I am trying to use Acrobat for something it is not meant for. Any recommendations on other programs I could use? Thanks

Thank you try76. I'm not sure if I did it correctly. As soon as I tick the Rich Text Formatting box it automatically changes the appearance of the text in the field (Helvetica Light to something like Helvetica Heavy) I can't seem to get the font back to Helvetica light or change the font size while the Rich Text Formatting box is ticked.

Is it possible to create a "sub" playlist within another?

Hello,
For example, can you create a U2 playlist?...and then within that, create playlists for their albums?
Thanks,
Steve

I don't think you can do a "sub" playlist. But you can do some pretty tricky things with smart playlists. You can create a non-smart U2 playlist, and then do smart playlists based on your original U2 playlist.
Do this: make a non-smart playlist called "allU2".
Browse (click on the eyeball in the upper right) your way to U2, then select all those songs, drag 'em to your "allU2" playlist. You now have a regular playlist with all of your U2 in it.
Now make a smart playlist called "Achtung Baby" or whatever album you want.
When you're creating your smart playlist you wanna do this:
checkmark "match all of the following"
->Playlist ->Contains ->allU2 (then click the "+" sign to add another rule)
->Album ->Contains ->Achtung Baby
That's how you would make a "sub" playlist based on a playlist, but really that was just an exercise in making playlists. In order to create a playlist to listen to specific albums, you don't even need to mess with multiple playlists. Just do this: create a smart playlist title "achtung baby":
"match all of the following"
->artist ->contains ->U2
->album ->contains ->achtung baby
Or forget the "artist" line and have just this in your smart playlist:
->album ->contains ->achtung baby
OR, (lemmee see how long I can ramble on here), you could forgo the entire playlist trip and listen to albums through "Browse". Click Browse. In the Artists column scroll down to U2. You'll get a list of all your U2 albums in the righthand column and a list of all your U2 songs below. In albums click on whatever album you want. The songs list will only show songs from whatever album you clicked. You can play just those songs.
Or open-apple click on multiple albums to highlight multiple albums. You can then listen to U2 songs from multiple albums.
I love fiddling around with playlists.
One of my favorite smart playlists (I'm listening to it right now):
smart playlist titled "5* not played 1 week":
Match ->all of the following:
->Last played ->is not in the last ->1 ->weeks
->My rating ->is ->***
down below click a checkmark next to: Live Updating
That playlist only plays songs that are 5 stars that I haven't listened to in the last week.
Good luck and have fun! If you have any questions about playlists, post 'em here and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

Is it possible to call a web service within acrobat reader.

Hi,
I designed a form template which makes a web service call.
Then tested the form using acrobat professional 8.0.
Everything was fine.
But, when I open the same form with acrobat reader, the web service call didn't work.
I want to know is this a known issue that It is not allowed to call a web service in acrobat reader?

Hi
Reader does not have the capability to call Web Services.
You have two options:
1. Get your clients to buy a copy of Acrobat.
2. Purchase a product from Adobe called "Reader Extensions". This allows you to "extend" your form in such a way that it will be able to call web services. (You can also save it locally, and do a bunch of other things that normally you can't do in Reader.) Your clients will then be able to call web services (for this form only) using Reader.
If you'd like more information on Reader Extensions, email info-at- avoka.com.

Interactive table control in Adobe forms

Dear gurus,
I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
Now the issues I am having are
1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
~thanks and appreciate any comments.

when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.
