Need to extract PDF form answers into an XML file

Hi Adobe gurus,we have a requirement like this. We have a Time Tracking and Project Monitoring System whose DB is a Oracle 10g R2. We want to automate our ''Meeting Minute'' processing.
1. The project lead will write minutes into a form PDF. i.e. a PDF where people can type in information into fields and also tick check-boxes etc.
2. The PDF will be e-mailed to the project manager.
3. Project manager will save the PDF in a HDD directory.
4. Then he will run a program.
5. Program will pickup all the PDFs in that directory one-by-one.
6. For each PDF, the program should read the fields and get the values for the form fields and create an .XML file for it.
7. Now, another program will read the XML files, extract the information and store those in a DB against each project lead.
I went through the thread PDF to XML conversion, but unfortunately it has no complete solution. This problem is present for lots of people and I would be really grateful if Adobe experts can give a complete solution. In order to make it easy to answer, I have made a small questionnaire below:
(A.) When creating a PDF form. i.e. a PDF where you can type information to questions and tick checkboxes etc., can you create the PDF with structure. i.e. for example, the field into which a user types project name should be identifiable (as a tag or something like like PROJECT_NAME), when we create an XML out of it later? Is this called creating a tagged PDF?
(B.) Does this mean that we cannot convert an untagged PDF to XML?
(C.) In order to convert a PDF to XML do we need a XSD or DTD? I ask this because, I some converters from the web, like this one, asks for the XSD. And this tool which converts a PDF to XML, asks for a rules set before converting the PDF. So is this necessary?? i.e. Do we have to have our own XSD and rules set, or does the PDF->XML utility convert to XML based on predefined ADOBE PDF tags??
(D.) Do we HAVE TO use the Adobe LiveCycle ES DLLS to do this??? I ask this becuase most of the free PDF-2-XML convertes give wrong results and has no guarantee.
(E). Can you please elaborate the process of converting PDFs to XML. Please note that we are doing this using a program (i.e. we process a batch of PDFs).
(F.) If we use ADOBE DLLS then do we have to purchase the Adobe LiveCycle ES product??
(G.) If we purchase Adobe LC ES then can we use the DLLs in Java, .Net??? Or is it possible to call the Adobe DLLs only using C or C++ (I read about this on the .Net)?
(H.) Is Adobe LiveCycle ES a separate product from the Adobe SDK and Adobe PDF writer??
Your advice would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi de Silva.

Thanks, however, I just want the user to be able to hit the Submit by E-mail button, and e-mail the form to the Manager. I believe, that this is what this button should be able to do, except that it converts the file to .XML format.
Still looking for help. thanks

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.

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.

E-Mailing a PDF Form and not an .xml file

I have created a PDF form for staff to request time off. The form is to be emailed to the Manager for approval. I used the "Submit by E-Mail" button, however, when I hit the Submit by E-Mail button, it submits an .xml file. I have looked through the forum, but have not been able to figure it out. I need help in getting this done asap. I am fairly new at this, therefore will require simple instructions. I have attached the form, if anyone wants to fix this form me, however, I would appreciate getting the instructions on how to do this for future use. Thanks

How do I submit PDF Form data as an XML file rather than as an XFDF file?

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make this statement work?
var cSubLine = this.getField("SurnameInits").value;
var cBody1 = "Main Instruction data file attached";
var cDest = this.getField("DestEmail").value;
var cEmailURL = "mailto:" + cDest + "?subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody1;
this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs: "XML"});
No file is attached the email that is generated so I assume there is something wrong with the submitForm parameters...If I change XML to XFDF, it works fine.

Try this...
this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs:"XML", cCharSet:"utf-8"});

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.

Extraction of Essbase Metadata into a Text File

When extracting metadata from Essbase into a txt file, the file lists the child members before the parents. We want it vice versa-just like it looks in Essbase. LKM Hyperion Essbase METADATA to SQL Is used for extraction.

Unfortunately that is the way the API extracts the hierarchy.
There are a couple of options extract the hierarchy with an incremental id, then order by the ID, this will need to be done in an rdbms staging area such as Oracle or SQL Server.
If you are using Oracle you can always load to table and then using the connect by prior command to sort in the correct parent/child format, I am sure there is something equivalent in sql server.

How to export special characters into an XML file?

Dear experts,
We read files from our customers and save data into our customized table without any character changed, including some address fields. In those address fields, some special characters (not in our code page) are also kept. When we want to write these address fields into an XML file or flat file, the special charcters become "##" or not readable, can anyone help us to solve this issue?
Question1: How to write special code to an external file?
Question2: how to use 'CALL TRANSFORMATION' from an internal table to an XML file?
Your answer is highly appreciated!

Problems with mapping after bundling messages into one XML-file

Hi all,
Case 1: one DebMas IDoc ==> XI ==> one XML-file : no problems with mapping.
Case 2: several DebMas IDoc's ==> XI ==> one XML-file : problems with mapping.
Explanation:
Incoming DebMas IDoc's:
Businesspartner 1 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
Businesspartner 2 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
Businesspartner 3 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
Businesspartner 4 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
After bundling into one XML-file:
Businesspartner 1 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
Businesspartner 2 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM) !!!!
Businesspartner 3 : Customer Master Partner Functions of Bp 2 (E1KNVPM) !!!!.
Businesspartner 4 : Customer Master Partner Functions of Bp 3 (E1KNVPM) !!!!.
All the payloads of the IDoc's are correct.
In the message mapping we use a Container for the Partner Functions (shown as below)
Is this a serious bug in the mapping of SAP XI ?
Does anyone knows how to solve this serious problem.
E1KNVVM -
> Partner_Container
E1KNVPM -
> Partner
PARVW -
> ParnerRole
KUNN2 -
> PartnerNumber
Regards,
Theo Pijlman

Hi,
Example:
Input idoc has field F1 with occurence 0..unbnd
My input values for field F1 is
1
none
2
3
Say, I have a mapping, F1---->TargetF1
In the target only 3 TargetF1s will be created for the values 1,2,3 and nothing will be created for the field F1 with no value.
To overcome this, use collapse contexts.
F1->collapsecontexts>TargetF1
This way, the TargetF1 fields created will have the following values:
1
blank
2
3
Collapse contexts makes sure that a target is created, even if there is a context change specified at the source.
Hope this is clear.

Smitha.

Splitting of a CSV File with Multiple Records into Multiple XML File

Dear All,
<b> I am doing a Scenario of CSV to XML Files. I am using BPM for the same. My incoming CSV File has got multiple records. I want to break this Multiple records into Multiple XML Files having one record each.</b>
Can someone suggest how can I break this rather Split this into Multiple XML Files.
Is Multimapping absoltely necesaary for this. Can't we do this without Multimapping. Can we have some workaround in the FCC parameters that we use in the Integration Directory.
Kindly reply ASAP. Thanks a lot to all in anticipation.
Pls Help.
Best Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Dear All,
I am trying to do the Multimapping, and have 0....unbounded also. Someways it is not working.
<b>
Smitha please tell me one thing...Assigning the Recordsets per Message to 1, does it mean that it will write multiple XML Files as I want.</b>
Also I am usinf Set to Read only. So once the File is read it becomes RA from A. Then will it write the other Records.
I have to use a BPM because there are certain dependencies that are there for the entire Process Flow. I cannot do without a BPM.
Awaiting a reply. Thanks a lot in anticipation.

Sorry, but making single PDF from many smartforms is not what I want to achieve. I wold like to know how to get one PDF document made by ALC-forms.
In my example I have many PDF documents. So, how to get (or put) them all in one PDF?
ps: the way to get one PDF from smartforms is also here:

Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?
