Is it possible to import data into a Reader Extended PDF created in Livecycle?

Hi there,
I make a lot of Reader Extended forms for my company. When I issue form updates, sometimes staff have to re-copy or re-type records into forms with repeating subforms. I'd like to be able to jumpstart their process by importing from an old, filled-out form, into my new updated form.
I've found I can do this by making an XML data file of the data from the old form, but I can't import into an Extended from using Adobe Reader. Most of our staff don't have Acrobat, so they aren't able to save data into non-extended forms.
Is this clear, what I'm asking? Import XML data into Reader Extended form.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Laura

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

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.

Is it possible to import data into an existing table?

Hi.. everyone.
Is it possible to import data into an existing table
by using import utility?
The exported table and the existing table have the same name
and table schema.
I want to append "new data(exported from oracle8.0.5)" to
"an existing partitioned-table" by using "oracle 9i import utility".
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.

Is it possible to import data into Captivate 5?

Is it possible to import data back into a Captivate 5 lesson, that was stored to a server or database from earlier in the Captivate 5 lesson? We would like to redisplay data from one screen to another. Some if it is quiz results, some just responses to questions we ask the user and we sould like to show it again for discussion on the next screen or in an entirely separate lesson. Thanks.

You can easily store data in user variables that will persist for the duration of the user's browser session for a given Captivate lesson. But if you want to have the same data persist over multiple browser sessions you need to write this data to cookies on the users PC or else write it to a database somewhere online and pull it back from there in later modules.
The first option using variables is quite easy to do with Advanced Actions.
The second option using an external database is much more difficult and would require ActionScript programming skills as well as database programming skills for the specific database technology you use and the scripting technologies used to write and retrieve data from it. If you don't have these skillsets yourself, you're going to need to put together a project with a budget to hire the designers and developers required to pull it off.

Why can't I import a .txt file to a PDF created in Livecycle Designer?

I am trying to import data into a PDF, simple stuff like names and addresses. I've saved my spreadsheet as a tab delimited .txt file, but when i go to import data in the PDF, .txt files are not an option. Is there a setting in Livecycle or in Acrobat that I haven't found?

Is there a way for me to import the data to a PDF created in LiveCycle designer?

Is it possible to create a form with Livecycle that a user in Adobe Reader can import data into?

I made a form, then found out that much of the data that needs to be filled out by our data entry personnel (in Adobe Reader) already exists in an Excel file. Is there a way I can set up this form so that my coworkers can import specific records from the Excel file and save themselves time?
I noticed that when I open the Reader-Enabled version of the file that the "Import Data" command under "Extensions" is dimmed out. So even if I could successfully create an XML file it looks like we couldn't import, even to a Reader-Enabled PDF form. Why is that?

Is it possible to import data values to be used in barcode creation?

I have a list of UPCs in an xml file, and would like to import the data to be converted into barcodes by Designer. Is this possible? Could anyone lead me to documentation? Thanks.
Al

You can import data from an XML file by creating a new data connection and you'll need to use the Paper Forms barcode. Be aware that use of the paper forms barcode requires LiveCycle Barcoded Forms (separate license required, according to the pop up when I place the field in a form). Once you set the data connection it's just a matter of writing a script to sift through the XML values one at a time to get the barcode.

Is it possible to insert data into a MySQL database with Java?

Hello everyone!
I would like to know, if it's possible to insert data into a MySQL database, with a JFrame inside a servlet?
When the JFrame is first created it calls this method:
     * Connects the servlet with the MySQL database.
    private void connect(){
        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
                    "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/data", "root", "omfg123");
        }catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
            cnfe.printStackTrace();
        }catch(SQLException sqle){
            sqle.printStackTrace();
    }Then, when you click the "Add" button, it executes this code:
            add.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
                    String employee = employeeName.getText();
                    String[] args = employee.split(" ");
                    firstName = args[0];
                    lastName = args[1];
                    execute();
            });And this is my "execute()" method:
     * Connects the servlet with the MySQL database.
     * - And executes the SQL queries.
    private void execute(){
        try{
            PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("insert" +
                    " into employees values(" + firstName + ", " + lastName
                    + ")");
            ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
            String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
            printer.write("Employee " + fullName + " added.</br>");
        }catch(SQLException sqle){
            sqle.printStackTrace();
    }But when I click the "Add" button, nothing happens.

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

Import data into oracle from a text file?

hi guys,
How can we import data into oracle9i release 1 from a text file with comma seperated or tab seperated delimeters?
please help,
Imran

table is already created, just have to populate data into table through a dat or text file. As suggested, you would either:
1). use SQL*Loader to load the data into this table.
2). create external table on that data file and then do:
INSERT INTO your_real_table
SELECT * FROM that_external_table ;

What is the best protocol to import data into sqlserver using an SSIS Package?

Im trying to import data into SQL Server from EXCEL with an SSIS package. In my data flow I am using "Excel Source" object and an "OLE DB Command" object. Im getting the following error message, "...Excel Connection Manager"
is an incorrect type....." May someone explain why I get this and point me in the right direction in choosing the proper source for my package so I can complete my task. Thanks.

Hi jsorrisone,
The data type mismatch issue is a common issue when using Excel Source in SSIS. The Excel driver recognizes only a limited set of data types. The following section of the document
Excel Source should point you in the right direction:
The Excel driver recognizes only a limited set of data types. For example, all numeric columns are interpreted as doubles (DT_R8), and all string columns (other than memo columns) are interpreted as 255-character Unicode strings (DT_WSTR). Integration
Services maps the Excel data types as follows:
Numeric – double-precision float (DT_R8)
Currency – currency (DT_CY)
Boolean – Boolean (DT_BOOL)
Date/time – datetime (DT_DATE)
String – Unicode string, length 255 (DT_WSTR)
Memo – Unicode text stream (DT_NTEXT)
Integration Services does not implicitly convert data types. As a result, you may need to use Derived Column or Data Conversion transformations to convert Excel data explicitly before loading it into a non-Excel destination, or to convert non-Excel data
before loading it into an Excel destination. In this case, it may be useful to create the initial package by using the Import and Export Wizard, which configures the necessary conversions for you. Some examples of the conversions that may be required include
the following:
Conversion between Unicode Excel string columns and non-Unicode string columns with specific codepages
Conversion between 255-character Excel string columns and string columns of different lengths
Conversion between double-precision Excel numeric columns and numeric columns of other types
If you need further help, post the complete error message as well as the data nature in your Excel source file for further analysis.
Regards,
Mike Yin

Is it possible to import music into iPad without using iTunes?

Do any of of you know whether or not it is possible to import music into iPad, like when you can import pictures, without the use of iTunes ( I don't have a computer)? I have music on my phone and on USB flash drives. Thnx

If you are in America then you can download your past iTunes music purchases via the store (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). But no, you can't import from flash drives (the camera connection kit can only import photos and videos) or from an iPhone.

How to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system

Is there an easy way to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system? Some of the files are ~50MB each (instrument files). There are a total of ~1,500 records spread over about 5 tables.
Thanks

What problem are you having writing it to a file?
You can't use FORALL to write the data out to a file, you can only loop through the entries in the collection 1 by 1 and write them out to the file like that.
FORALL can only be used for SQL statements.

Importing data into tables with grant access (sql developer 3.2)

Hello,
I want to import data into a table PAY_BALANCE_BATCH_LINES which is an interface table. I'm logged in to a schema (APPS) and this table belongs to the HR schema. However, if you look at the grants, the APPS schema has all access to this particular table. In TOAD, this used to work great.
But in sqldeveloper, when I filter the tables dropdown, I am not able to find this table. Since this is my primary way of uploading data I'm not sure how else I can get access to upload data into this table. I don't know the password for the HR schema by the way.
Is there a way out?
Many Thanks

Scroll down the tree to the 'Other Users' node, expand it, and then drill down into HR > Tables. Then do your import.
For an alternative browser, right-click on your connection in the tree and open a Schema Browser.

Importing Data into Apex 3.0.1

I know that this question has a simple answer, but here goes. I know how to import data into oracle using sql loader and sql insert commands but can Apex import data into a blank application form with multiple rows of data to import.
Like:
U_Id L_Name F_Name City State zip
15 Taylor Joe Atown Mi 42333
16 Jones Jim NewT Ky 43211
and 200 or 500 or more columes
Again I know how to import into Apex to create a new form from a spreadsheet or access, but I don't know how to move raw data from a text file into Apex.
Can this task be done.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
When an application is first created the developer has to specify the schema that will be used to parse (compile) all the code against. All you need to do is to use your existing knowledge of importing data into Oracle and import the data you want into the Parsing Schema of the application. Use Application Definition to find the parsing schema for your application.
