Make readonly pdf with data from forms

Hi there,
I really appriciate any help on this issue...
I am not able to make read only file with data from the fillable pdf forms.
Requirement is my client need some form where they can enter some data and make a read only file from those forms and send them to their clients.
So I made fillable form in acrobat and send them, they will use reader to fill up the form but I dont know how to save those file with data so it will become just a document.
is there any way ?
Thanks....
-M.

I am soory I am slow...
I made form file in acrobat... but after that my client is going to use reader and enter data to this forms and saves it. and then my client is going to send them to their customers.
So I shall use reader code and make all fields read only right ?
In this case I have to make a button and run this code on submit ?
Thanks.

Can I make a pdf with hyperlinks from Power Point using Acrobat ?

I have a Power Point presentation which includes hyperlinks to websites. When I use the Power Point slide display they work.
Can Acrobat make a pdf from Power Point which includes the hyperlinks ?
Will the hyperlinks work when the pdf is displayed by Acrobat Reader?
Thanks

But I want the pages in the pdf shown spreadwise.
In AcrobatPro you can set the initial document view of single pages as spreads via Page Layout: Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)

Load interactive pdf with data from database

I am trying to understand our options for loading database data into an interactive pdf..?   Some of the data is not stored in the database and needs to be manually entered by the user in the interactive pdf.
Here is the interactive pdf I'm working with:
http://www.dcma.mil/dcman/NPP/files/dd1149.pdf
As I understand it, there are 2 options:
1. Create an xml file from the database data.   Users can manually import this xml file into this existing interactive pdf and then manually add the additional data, and save the interactive pdf.
Would users need to use Adobe acrobat Standard or Pro edition to import the xml data?
2. Create a XFA PDF form that's made with LiveCycle Designer.   Can this method create an interactive pdf so that users can enter additional data later and save the pdf?
   What adobe products are required to use this method?
thanks for any assistance..

Yes,using LiveCycle you could accomplish this easily.Once you have your invoice form ready based on predefined XSD, you can easily update the form data by fetching the values from database using JDBC operation.Also you could email this updated form using Email service.

Creation of CSV file on client machine with data from forms

Hi,
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form.
Oracle version -
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production.
I have searched the web for last couple of days and got to know that TEXT_IO is to be used to generate files on client machine. However, when I tried TEXT_IO, it was not able to generate the file on client rather it was able to generate on database server. After further browsing on this, there was a link which said that we need to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO to generate file on client side. For this, i was required to subclass the webutil.pll which i did and corrected the code to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO. The form was unable to compile and was not able to find "webutil_core" package.
I am very confused with the disparity in the information available on the web as in what to use to generate a file on client side. If anyone has use it in the past, can he/she please detail what to use to get things sorted.
Thanks,
R

So, what is your FORMS version. This is more important than your database version.
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form. Depending on your Forms version, you would use TEXT_IO (if Forms 6i running in Client/Server mode) or WebUtil (if Forms 9i or higher).
I'm going to guess that you are at least using Oracle Forms 9i since you stated that your attempt at using TEXT_IO produced a file on the DB server.
There is more to using WebUtil than just attaching the WEBUTIL.PLL. If you had performed a simple search of the Forms Help System would have found numerous WebUtil topics to include: Introduction to WebUtil, Configuring WebUtil, Using WebUtil in Your Applications and the WebUtil User's Guide. If you have Oracle Forms release 10g or higher, WebUtil is included when you installed Forms, however, you do need to configure your installation to use WebUtil and you must download the Java COM Bridge (jacob.jar) from Source Forge. Take a look at the Configuring WebUtil Forms Help topic to find out which version of the Java COM Bridge you will need to download.
After you have successfully configured WebUtil, take a look at the Using WebUtil in Your Applications topic to find out how to implement WebUtil in a form.
Searching the Internet for answers is great, but don't forget the look at the Forms Help System because the majority of your questions can be answered there. :)
Lastly, configuration of WebUtil is primarily done on your Application Server (AS). However, if you plan to perform preliminary runtime testing by running your Form from the Forms Builder, then you will configure your local runtime to support WebUtil as well as configure your AS. The steps are exactly the same. A common mis-step is to skip a step during the configuration because you don't think the step applies. Take a look at the Forms Help Runtime Setup Checklist topic for a list of step you need to complete in order to enable WebUtil.
Hope this helps,

Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

Good day everyone,
I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
Background (for clarity's sake):
Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
System and software using:
Windows XP and 7 Professional
Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
Thank you for helping!

Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
Or how about recommending a program which does that??
Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
Thanks!

Formatted Search with data from active window

Hi experts,
I created a FMS on the order document. To let the FMS work, i use some data from the active order window like this $[$38.1]. In this FMS i also show some data to the user. To complete my FMS, i would have to add a where statement, with the active window the custom window i show the user. If i look into the system information, following information shows up below:Form 20000034, Item =4, Pane=0, Column = Col2, Variable =1 #000006294,Col2.
Any idea's on how i can make a FMS with data from this active custom window?
Kind Regards,
Frederik

Hello Frederik,
Have you tried
$[$Item.Column]
$[$4.Col2]
And i want to say it is possible to pick value from other not activate form .
by using SQL syntax after add temp table.
Thanks

Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sharon
The easiest way is:
- Open your PDF form within Acrobat
- From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
- From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

Prepopulating PDF forms with data from XML file

How can I get a PDF form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 8.0 and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. The closest I came was to use the ImportData method, but that only lets you specify a data file if the form is signed (certified), which these aren't and don't need to be because we're using them on an internal company web page. ImportData works if there is no file name, but then the user has to navigate to and select the correct file, which we can't rely on our users to do.
I've researched this problem for days on this and other websites and haven't found an answer (one Adobe advisor suggested purchasing LifeCycle Forms, which is not an option because it's a $10,000 software package and the company wouldn't authorize a purchase that steep). We will buy a less-expensive option if there is one. We'll even hire a consultant if we can find one to who can design a supportable solution. All suggestions will be much appreciated.

Problem populating html form fields with data from database.

I'm using a straight forward piece of code to populate a form with data from a database, to create and 'edit record' page. The code is as follows;
TO RETREVE THE DATA FROM THE DATABASE;
     $query = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE newsletter_id = '$newsletter_id'" ;
     mysql_select_db($database) ;
     $result = mysql_query($query, $connect);
     $numRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
     $dbnewsletter_title = mysql_result($result,$i,'newsletter_title');
TO POPULATE THE FORM FEILD;
<tr>
          <td width="140"><p class="admin">Newsletter title</p></td>
          <td><input name="newsletter_title" type="text" <? print "value=$dbnewsletter_title";}?> /></td>
        </tr>
However, when I view the page, the string shows in the text feild, but seems to be split at the point of the first space. So basically only the first word of the string shows in the text field. If I try to print '$dbnewsletter_title' outside of the table, the string is shown in full as it should be.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem?
Many Thanks

Put the value in quotes:
<?php print "value='$dbnewsletter_title'"; ?>

Work with data from a table of another SAP R/3 system

Hi,
I want to work with data from a table of another system. I know there's a function called 'RFC_READ_TABLE' but I don't know really how it works. What I want to do is to get data from that system and pass it to the one where I'm working in order I can continue working with this data in the report.
Besides, I'd like to select only the records that have some conditions.
I'd appreciate if someone could tell how to do it, whether with FM 'RFC_READ_TABLE' or in another way.
Thanks in advance,
Gerard
P.S: The systems are already connected in SM59

Yes, you can use RFC_read_table .You can pass the number of columns but I recommend you to bring all results in your internal table after that you can filter the records. Most of the time I have notice when you make RFC call with this FM to another system it works but it may also happen that other system controlling authorization and then it might give you nothing. As I face this problem on my last Project.
Hope thisll give you idea!!
<b>P.S award the points.</b>
Good luck
Thanks

Keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem

keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem.
If both files are held locally on the computer it looks like there is no problem however if you try and do it though icloud (ie your docs are saved on icloud) you dont get the "source" oprion besides the graph etc. Is this a but or a broken function due to the new implementation of icloud.

Hi sebnor31,
This is Visual C# forum, but your question seems not related to Visual C# language itself. It most likely related to the bluetooth message transaction protocal or with the device itself.
I'll move your question to [where is this forum for...] forum where the morderator may direct you to the correct forum.

Carrying data from form to form

Hi
I have a problem with carrying data from form to form.
Once a user logs in I want their name to appear on each screen of the application.
I tried storing the name from the textfield using : textField.getString();
But I keep getting an empty string as its picking up the blank textfield,
How do I save the name that the user enters and be able to carry it on to all the other forms?
Thank you for your help,
Kind Regards

According to my knowledge
You have two options for storing login information.
One way is to store Login info in the record store. but i think it is not a good one, as your session expires you should not require the login cache. so you should delete that data for better operations.
Second option is to create a class which can act as a cache memory for your program.
Follow these steps for this options.
1. Create a cache class with all the public variables which you want to access.
2. Create an object from main midlet of this class.
3. Pass this object in each form with navigation.
4. So every variable can be accessible from all the forms as object of this class is instantiated only once.
Thank You.

Table - populate one table with data from the list of another table

Hello All,
I am a newbie in Swing and am a book and few tutorials old.
I am trying to achieve the following:
(1) I populate Table1 (a JTable) with a list of data - each row consists of several columns. And I have a Table2 (also JTable) that is in the beginning empty.
Both the tables (Table1 and Table2) are showed in the window.
(2) Lets say, there's a button (JButton) in between the two tables.
Now if I Select a row from Table1 and press the button, this row will be sent/copied to Table2.
And this way I can choose different rows and pass the data to Table2.
I have manages to make Table1 and put data in it ... but for the rest, I don't know where and how to begin.
Would appreciate some ideas and tips.
Thank you.

Since you are using a button to start the copy process you don't need to worry about a ListSelectionListener or a MouseListener. You need to create a button with an ActionListener that does the following:
a) Create an Array based on the size of the number of columns in the table
b) get the index of the selected row
c) populate the Array with data from the TableModel by using the table.getModel().getValueAt(...) method for each
d) Now you can add the row of data to the other JTable by updating its model.
DefaultTableModel model2 = (DefaultTableModel)table2.getMode();
model.addRow( theArray );
