OS or Windows and scanner forms

This is a PC vs iMac question. I am required to submit a “scanner form”. I do have a Canon copy/scan/fax printer. I have not ever used a scanner form, and I am not clear about how this is done. I am trying to learn if this is something only PC windows can do or if I can fill in scanner forms with my iMac.
Thank you

Thank you.   This is going to be a government form. They will send me the forms. If it is possible, can you describe what I will actually be doing, as literally as possible?
My Logic:   I get the form, place on the scanner, scan form to iMac and open on desktop.   Type what is needed onto the form on iMac.
Then what happens?   How does the information get back to the physical form?   or do I not have this right either?
I assume this is all really easy, if I had a clue what the steps are and how to do it.   My printer does have OCR function in the manual, but I have never used it.
Any help at all tells me much more than I know now. I tried to find info on this subject on line,   and I have not been able to formulate the correct questions to ask. I get answers to all kinds of questions except what I need to know.
Thank you again

Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

Hi
I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
Please, Can any one help me in this????

a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

Why is the "Show my windows and tabs from last time) option in Options- General is grayed out and will not let me restore previous sessions?

After updating to Firefox 6, the option in the Options-> General section to "Show my windows and tabs form last time" is grayed out and will not allow me to set it. If I go to the Firefox homepage, the option does not appear, nor does it appear if I go under the History or Firefox tab.
I tried to follow the directions on this website on the Session Restore page, but that seems out of date or just not helping.
I even went to the about:config (about:session restore does not work) and there was nothing I saw that would work

Firefox 6 seems to change your settings in Tools Options Privacy to "Never remember history". Once you change this to "Remember history" it will restore your previous session, as long as the setting in Tools Options General Startup is set to "Show my windows and tabls from last time"
Bad idea Mozilla - installing 6 should pick up your settings from 5. This problem will confuse many users.

Acrobat XI Windows 7 - unable to (copy and) paste form fields to a different pdf.

To maintain a consistent appearance and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few form fields (text, checkboxes) from an unrelated Acrobat PDF. Then I paste those fields into a different PDF document that I am making fillable.
I do this because Acrobat does not allow setting a default for certain attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an unchecked scroll option, a default font other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9, and X). Plus it is time-saving to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF, like name, address, phone. etc.
We just updated to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I cannot paste copied fields onto a different PDF.
Using "replace pages" is not applicable as I am pasting to an entirely different form and copying form fields with the settings I use.
Is this a glitch or is something new that was not in Acrobat 8, 9, and X?
Also, question regarding this forum entry - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - which is somewhat different from my current question.
The PDF creator could not paste copied fields on other pages of the same PDF. Was this ever resolved so that copy and paste worked as it has for the last 3 versions of Acrobat?
Thanks!
Joanie

Gilad: You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF. I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions. Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
Thanks for your ideas.

Display image in forms & reports developed on windows and deployed on Unix

Hi,
We are upgrading from Forms and reports 6i to forms10g.
We need to insert image in forms and reports. Recompile and deploy on unix server.
So can anyone let me know the exact steps to create jar file containing images, where to place the jar file.
Corresponding folder, file and configuration changes required on windows and unix.
Av.

Hi Frank,
thanks for the link it helped me in understanding how images work for forms.
But my real concern is how this will work in reports?
As we dont have any reportsweb.cfg nor any java path for reports?
Can you help me in understanding how to embed image in reports that will be displayed even after porting the report on unix oas.
Regards,
Av.

Best way to port all Windows XP files, applicaitons and data form my PC over to iMac and how to run those Windows apps on Mac?ns on Mac?

I have a Windows XP machine with apps, files and data. I want to get all that over to my Mac, and also run those apps under Windows XP or even Windows 7 on my Mac. Im wondering:
1. How best to get those files over to my Mac
2. How to run those apps and use my Windows based files/data on my Mac
3. How best to run Windows on my Mac....either partitiion my Mac's hard drive and boot up either Windows or MAC OS, or run some other program where I can easily switch back and forth form Windows to MAC OS, or perhaps get it all on an external hard drive, maybe partition that Windows/MAC OS and boot from that?
Thanks!

I agree you would benefit by using virtualizaiton software. Virtual Box is one alternative the commercial apps for doing virtualization are Parallels and VMWare Fusion which you also might be interested in for their support and updates.
Also you may benefit by book marking and using:
Mac 101 , Switch 101 & Find Out How Video tutorials
For your MS Office apps then I'd STRONGLY recommend using the native Office For Mac versions, you can find these on Amazon for less than $100 and then you can run the apps natively rather than having to lean on MS Windows. Also for your Financial and Tax software you also may want to use OS X apps too, for example I used Quicken for over 20 years (PC mostly and some Mac) but switched to iBank. Also for tax software I have used Quicken's Turbo Tax, this also runs natively on OS X.
In other words for your stated needs I don't see much reason to stay with MS Windows. You may have other considerations, if you do please state them, some may be real issues and some may be easily overcome.

Forms Browser window and Internet shortcuts

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our Forms 4.5 app to 9i, and have hit a problem with Internet shortcuts, in that the shortcut grabs the first available browser window.
Separately I had added some Javascript that warns the user of an attempt to navigate away from the page, because the seemingly unused browser window is of course vital, however the Internet shortcut is now useless.
We could, as a precaution against Internet shortcuts, open an extra browser window before our Forms browser, but I don't believe that 3 windows for every forms application is the right approach (gross understatement!).
Can anyone offer any alternatives?
Thanks,
Neville Sweet.

If you are using IE 5.5 or higher as the browser you might consider hta technology (microsoft specific, I peronally would avoid it...). Look at subject HTA Applications on the microsoft site. HTA stands for HTML Application. It is HTML that runs outside the browser's security domain as client software.
We have implemented this method for a customer who insisted on having the Webforms applications being started exactly the same way as was the case with c/s, i.e. from windows menu shortcuts.
A beter way I think, is to offer a home page with links to the Forms Applications.
Peter

Everytime I click on one of my app tabs it removes it form that brower window and opens it in a new window! how do I get it to work right?

Clicking on an app tab shouldn't remove it from that browser window but it does, seems to sort of defeat the purpose of App Tabs in my opinion. then I have to drag the new tab back into the other browser window and then it works for a little while correctly.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.<br />

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

Hi Friends,
I have requirement like this . i have a standard print prog and custom form. i want add 2 to 3 extra windows in the form and i have to print some data. but how can v do this with out changing the print program. i know that to pick new fields through subroutines. but how can v call new windows and new text elements with out changing the print program.
usually in the print program we write as follows.
write_form
window = 'HEADER'
textelemtn = 'HEADER'
can we accomplish this one also through subroutines or any other way is there.
can any one pls suggest this.
Thanks in advance.

u copy the standard print program and make custom program.
write your own codes in it.
assign this program in the place of standard print program.

I am not able to compile forms and my form application is close

Hi All,
There is strange problem arising in my system. I am not able compile the forms from my machine.MY machine is having Vista as OS and I have installed the latest 10g release of forms (the vista compaitable version). Also I am not able to open any of the existing and developed forms for one One Oracle Retail product. The existing forms were build on 10g version 2. (10.0.2). But when I am trying to open the forms, the application hangs immediately and then its says explorer is closing, the program has some problems. The same error comes in both the cases.
Thanks & Regards,
Debabrata

Debabrata,
First You must read this topic from Steve Cosner:
Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista
After You must to install Forms 10g under Window Vista following the instruction in the topic.
At this time Form Builder work fine; but the Compiler called from Framework return errors and the program hang.
I have tried to run frmcmp.exe outside the Form Builder and the program newly abort.
I have sended my Form to Steve Cosner and I attend a reply.
Bye
Gaetano
