Multiple PDFs from database

I need to generate multiple unique PDFs based on a database. What I need is to generate a table of values from a database, and within that table, each cell will have an up arrow or a down arrow background depending on whether the value is positive or negative. The values are all basic percentages. I'm not sure how the data is generated or anything. Let's just assume I can receive the data in whatever form is most useful.
Is this even possible in InDesign? Or is there a better tool?

I need help on this same subject. I am being provided with PDF's from SQL (not sure what software). A 3000 page PDF comes out to 300mb, and if you open it and save as in Adobe Pro, it takes 10 hrs to consolidate fonts and images, but I then end up with a nice 30mb file. Even using batch PDF conversion software, it takes 5hrs on a good dedicated machine to flatten these PDF's. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with how they are handling font embedding and the image (form flash) on each page (same on all pages for each PDF). What kind of programs should I be looking at to keep the PDF file sizes manageable and where I can work with the files without it taking 10 hrs to save them. I print about 120,000 images per month.. We save the images for up to 6 months.. With 300mb files this won't work..

Creating multiple PDFs from an xml form

Hello--
I am a LiveCycle Designer beginner, so please bear with me.
I'm hoping to automate the creation of multiple PDFs from within a LiveCycle XML form I created. We have a database with vendor contact information. Each vendor could have multiple records within our database (currently they range from 2-60). We currently send to a pointperson at each vendor an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the records associated with that vendor. That person then modifies, adds and deletes the records in that spreadsheet. We then input those updates into our database.
We recognize that this is an antiquated form of contact management, and want to improve. Of course, the challenge is that we do not have our own server to use, and we are not able to use any third party service that costs anything. Since we already have LiveCycle Designer, I'm hoping XML forms can make things easier for our administrators. I really hope there is a scriptable solution for this.
Here is what I've done (much of it to learn how LiveCycle Designer works).
I created an XDP with all the appropriate fields.
I also created separate XML files for each vendor.
I was able to create individual PDFs when I associate the vendor-specific XML file to the XDP using the Locate Data File field in the Defaults tab of the Form Properties.
While this works, I essentially have just done the same amount of work as our current solution. Nonetheless, since LiveCycle is scriptable, I'm hoping that I can automate a number of these tasks. Is it possible to automate from within Designer, the creation of multiple PDFs—one for each vendor—using the same XDP form? Do I need to make the XDP form a TDS file? Is this even the right approach? Is there a way to connect to the database and filter out by vendor the information I need?
I apologize if this is all over the place. Any and all advice would be most appreciated!!!

The Split command also allows you to do this with a few more options like contol of the file naming and number of pages. Here is a quick tip on how to do this if you're interested.

Print multiple pdf from web site

Hello everyone!!,
I need print multiple pdf from web site (web page) to the local printer o client printer.
I have investigated : cfexecuted, java code, javascript, but i can't do it.
The idea is don´t open printer dialog box for to print.
Thanks.

It is NOT POSSIBLE (for security reasons) to do silent printing in this way. (you wouldn't want to visit a web site and have your printer start spewing out page after page of profanity, would you??)
You can, however, offer the user the choice to print and then have it print. That can easily be done by embedding JavaScript into the PDF to be printed. If you have multiple documents, you should merge them together on the server first and then send a single document.

Create multiple PDFs from multiple files

Hi everyone
I'm trying to use the "Create multiple PDFs from multiple files" function in Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.4.6) to create about 100 PDFs from InDesign CS5 files. Theoretically this would do the trick for my purpose. BUT: When running the function, it does not use the CS5 InDesign (version 7.0.3), but tries to open the files with InDesign CS3. Of course this does not work. We, as a professional working agency, have installed CS3, CS4 and CS5. Even with making the InDesign CS3 .app invisible an pushing it into the garbage bin during the process did not work. Acrobat still wants to access InDesign CS3. It is not possible to downgrade the files to CS3 files, for there are special (i.e. interactive) functions which only work in CS5. It would be more work than creating the PDFs manually, anyways.
Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

OK, cool, I found one, which seems to work just fine.

Retrieve multiple images from database to servlet

Hi there,
I try to retrieve more than one images from database to Servlet/JSP . However, I get only one images in the result set. Here is my code. Please Help .
How do I display more than one images ( multiple rows ) from database to Servlet ?.
When I retrieve, I got 3 rows of binary data, but I don't know how to display it on the Servlet/JSP pages.
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

When I retrieve, I got 3 rows of binary data, but I don't know how to display it on the Servlet/JSP pages.I will pick this bit of your post, because you seemed to have several partly-overlapping questions.
You are going about this wrong. You need to decide what your HTML will look like before you start writing servlet code. In this case you want to have something like a table, with an image in each row, right? Now what does the HTML for that look like? It's a <table> element, and so on, but what about the images? Well this is HTML, so it can't contain the binary images. It has to contains links to the images, and the browser will download the image from each of those links and put all of the downloads together into the page it displays.
That means you can't do it all with one servlet. You need a main servlet that generates the HTML, with the <table> element and the links to the images. Probably you need some DB calls here to find out how many images you're going to have, but you don't need to get them in this servlet. You just need to generate a link for each of them.
Then you need a second servlet that gets an image. It's going to get a single row from the DB and return the binary image you read from that row. Make sure to use "image/jpg" or whatever's appropriate instead of "text/html" in your response's content type here.
I will leave you to carry on from here. First step is to design the HTML that your main servlet will produce; remember that the links it generates need to carry enough information for the second servlet to be able to find the right image in the DB.

How to transfer multiple pdfs from email to iPad ibooks

Is there any way to transfer multiple files from email or imessage to ibooks on an Ipad?
currently email opens each one then have to click on top to open in ibooks. I have over 50 files and expect more to come. I have tried hooking up ipad to the macbook that sent the files and put into ibooks that way, but it would require syncing all my media files.
Icloud and airdrop have failed me miserably for PDFs transfer to my ipad.

I don't know if this will help you, but for PDFs on my IPad I use either Note Taker HD or EverNote. Both are available at App Store. However each one is a pay for app. Note Taker HD app is a one time fee. EverNote is monthly. There is also
FileApp Pro. These are the apps I use. So I have immediate access to any and all PDF's in a second or 2. Note that these are my personal preferences only. Hope this helps. Cheers.

How to get multiple rows from database table?

hello !
I need to get multiple rows from a OLEDB database table and display them on a table object.
I did "Wrap in subfrom" on the table, set subform of the table to "flowed", and checked "Repeat row for each data item" of Row1 of the table.
But I can get only one row on the table object.
I need your help.
Thanks

Hi,
best practices when deleting multiple rows is to do this on the business service, not the view layer for performance reasons. When you selected the rows to delete and press submit, then in a managed bean you access thetable instance (put a reference to a managed bean from the table "binding" property") and call getSeletedRowKeys. In JDeveloper 11g, ADF Faces returns the RowKeySet as a Set of List, where each list conatins the server side row key (e.g. oracle.jbo.Key) if you use ADF BC. Then you create a List (ArrayList) with this keys in it and call a method exposed on the business service (through a method activity in ADF) and pass the list as an argument. On the server side you then access the View Object that holds the data and find the row to delte by the keys in the list
Example 134 here: http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#134 provides you with the code

Open PDF from database in a browser and run Javascript within PDF

What we're trying to accomplish is to query a PDF in the database and open the PDF in the browse. Once opened if a user click on a link to open another PDF, it launchs a URL to Coldfusion, that queries the database and opens the PDF link. This all works but we also want to have the open PDF goto a section or bookmark within the PDF. We currently have JavaScripts within the PDF links that do that but only if the PDF is in the file system. We're using the app.openDoc to get a reference to the opened PDF. But when opening the PDF from the database we pass the control to Coldfusion using app.launchURL or app.getURL. These do not pass back a reference to the opened PDF and the JavaScripts fails.
I'm looking for different methods or ideas.
Is there another way to do this, I'm new to acrobat JavaScripting?
Thanks, Rob

I tried tapping and holding the attachment icon, it just shows "Open / Bookmark/ Copy"...

How to display retrieved image in jsp.
whether action and dao file is correct or what changes i have to do to correct the problem.
P.S : As a Newbie i dont know how to use code tag for this java code.Kindly forgive me.
Regards,
hardlyUsed.

1. Get it from the database.
2. Display it.
Part 1 has nothing to do with part 2.
You must solve 1 before you solve 2.
Finally generically there is no such thing an "image" but rather there is binary data which is represented in such a way that it one of many formats that represent an "image".
Knowing which specific format the "image" is stored in will at a minimum be helpful and could be required.

Generate PDF From Database

Hi,
I have a table in database. Table has a column. There is data of pathes of images into column. I cretaed a illustrator template and I want to generate PDF from this template with using table data in database. so, is it possible? illustrator created pdf per each image with using illustrator template.
thanks,

AI cannot conent directly to databases. It can only parse CSV/ XML data. You either need to export the stuff or create extensive scripts to connect to the life database using sockets.

(261936172) Q DBC Multiple rows from Database Control method?

Q<DBC> Can you give an example of returning multiple rows from a database?
A<DBC> A Database Control method can return multiple rows.
Assuming the SQL for the method can return multiple rows from
the database, what does the method return? It may return an
Array of Objects*, an Iterator (on a Collection of Objects*)
or a java.sql.ResultSet.
Attached is code that gives an example of returning multiple
rows (not the entire files, but text from them).
* the Objects are either user defined or a HashMap

hi Keshav,
Earlier i was using same variable SEL in internal table and as a selection column as well. In that case, it was marking SEL as 'X' even when document was selected.
Today, i tried making selection column name as 'MARK' and internal table field name as 'SEL', it is working fine. I am able to read table control lines where MARK equals 'X'.

I followed this link provided by you. Its really useful. Thanks for your help.
Thanks to others as well.

Custom database functoid to return multiple rows from database

Hi,
I have created a custom database fucntoid to execute a stored procedure which returns just single row from the database.But I could not manage to return multiple rows from the database.
Does anyone know how to return multiple rows from DB and create a node with that many occurrences in the target schema?
Thanks

If you want to do this in messaging-only way without orchestration, then only option let to you is using .NET in BizTalk:
We had similar requirement with one of our clients, where they didn’t want to use orchestration (though we emphasised on less impact orch would have compared to manageability),
they still wanted to have pure-messaging only.
We extended the custom XslTransform component that ships with BizTalk SDK (<BizTalk installation directory>\SDK\Samples\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent)).
Created a custom disassembler pipeline component, used the XslTransform component from SDK to execute the map’s XSLT. Here we created a map with every links except the database ones. After executing the map, access the database, execute the store procedure
which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the XSLT transformed message with the dataset from your database in disassembler.
Since .NET gives you the flexibility of access the dataset with more than one row, you can enrich the message in custom pipeline code.
Other option is code the message transformation completely in .NET code in custom disassembler by passing the received message to method/code which would code the map/enrichment.
While enriching you can execute the store procedure which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the message further with the dataset from db.

Print multiple PDFs from Windows Explorer causes Acrobat Pro 9.4 crash

I sometimes need to create a batch of PDFs independently, after which it suits me to print them all as a single job. FYI I am running Acrobat Pro 9.4 under Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
The sequence of the problem as follows:
- With Acrobat closed, I go to the directory containing my multiple PDF files using Windows Explorer.
- I highlight between three and six PDF docs (each individual doc is small, one page, black and white only).
- I use the "Print" option made available within Windows Explorer.
It's clear that the system then tries to use Acrobat to print these docs, however I consistently get the same behaviour - some print, some do not, but on every occasion I receive the error "Adobe Acrobat 9.4 has stopped working".
Any ideas? Annoying for a paid-for piece of pro software although, granted, not on a level with famine in the third world it would be nice to have all the functionalities working correctly. If it helps my machine spec is below.
Thanks,
Alastair
SPEC:
Dual Xeon workstation
24Gb RAM (of which 22GB available at time of error)
Disk 1TB (RAID10) of which 920GB free
Windows 9 Ultimate 64bit
Acrobat Pro ver 9.4.1

It may partly be a 64-bit issue since AA is apparently a 32-bit application that can run in the 64-bit environment (not that familiar with 64-bit systems, so I may not be stating it correctly. However, I would start by going to the Control Panel>Programs and Features and do a repair on your Acrobat installation. That will hopefully resolve the issue.
