PDF - paginating table

Hi,
please, how to break a table in pages automatically in the PDF Form?
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
Thanks.

Hi Sumit,
I am facing one problem very simillar to this. Suppose I have designed the master page and i have the company logo as header in all the pages. I have choosen Flow Layout for all the table but when the tables has many rows, it is extending to the next page but problem is that these rows are overlapping with the header of the next page(Company Logo). Is there any way we can keep the Master page header fix and the extra table rows from the first table will be displayed that only.
Your sugestion is highly welcome.

OTF to PDF - Getting blank PDF Internal table with CONVERT_OTF func module

All
i've captured OTF from smartforms and tried converting to PDF through 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' FUNCTIOn module and after emailing to external email id, i found logo is completely disturbed (characters in logo got mixed up)..... later i tried converting with ''CONVERT_OTF' function module, but here i'm getting blank PDF internal table....
what am i missing in both ?
my intention is converting otf to pdf and emailing...though there are thousands of similar threads are available , none of them are related to my exact problem, which is logo is getting mixed up or disturbed.... any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You need to use the function module SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF to create the PDF from OTF ..

PDF - Dynamic Table

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to PDF-dynamic table generation. Suppose I have designed the master page and i have the company logo as header in all the pages and my body page has one table designed.

How can I put a .pdf (or table) in iWeb that one sees on the web site on a web page without downloading?

How can I put a pdf (not downloadable, but viewed on the website) or a table in iWeb?

If it's a one page PDF file just drag it onto the webpage and resize to fit. If it's a multi page PDF file you can add it as in this demo page: Scrolling Text Box

How to correctly and automatically convert a pdf having tables with embedded figures to MS Word format?

I'm a language translator. My source files are very often pdf's containing huge tables with hundreds of embedded figures as well as text. So far, I've been unable to find a way to automatically convert such a structure to MS Word format. When selecting the table, the figures do not copy. Figures can be selected and copied only one at a time. Tried Reader, tried Acrobat, tried third party software like ABBYY PDF Transformer+ to no avail. Is there a way to do it?

Hi pielassss,
Could you share a sample file with me at [email protected] so that I can check at my end?
What version of Acrobat are you uisng?

PDF form table

Hello,
I have a PDF-based form and I have the following problem.
I need to print a footer table on the last page.
I am controlling the presence of the table thru formcalc.
The problem is that the table lines are only shown if the table is on the first page. Otherwise it does not show any lines. Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you,
Nuno Silva

Hello
I am controlling the presence of the table thru formcalc. ===> please share your code, how can you get help on this if you have a code which doesn´t work and the people around can´t see it:))
The problem is that the table lines are only shown if the table is on the first page. Otherwise it does not show any lines. ====> maybe you can describe the structure of your form, because this doesn´t help much.
In fact I don´t get the problem: is that with table presence at all? presence on the right page? lines presence? lines data?
I guess your problem is not a big issue, but you didn´t provide enough details, thats why you didn´t get any replies.
Otto
p.s.: how many master pages do you have? or how do you control the forms placing on pages on the tab paging?

Adding Tags in PDF for Tables and Figures

Please let me know how to add tags for Table and Figure in the PDF and also about setting up attributes for that

You can add tags to a PDF Document. If the PDF is untagged you can use the advanced, accessabilty, add tags to the document. If the PDF is already tagged or after you have run the add tags you can use the "touch up reading order" menu and then make the item you want to be a table a table etc....

PDF pagination works find in Reader 8, but failed in lower version 7.

Hi, All
Here's my situation
One dynamic PDF form:
Contents in subforms are flowed layout. And for every section (e.g. Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc) in pdf, create "New Page" to make sure that they start their contents in seperate new pages, not following the previous flowed content.
The pagination for Flowed content in subforms works ok.
But the pagination for "New Page" only works in Reader 8 and failed in lower version 7.
Any clues?
Thanks

Adobe Reader 9 can't save the old FDA forms. FDA must update their forms.

Pdf with table of contents from a Pages file

I discovered in a pdf file sent to me that it has a table of contents in the sidebar where thumbnails, and annotations also reside.
When I create a pdf from my pages document this is not available.
In the table of contents sidebar are the words 'No Sections'. How do I create sections for every para styled as a heading so that they show in the table of contents sidebar of the pdf file.
I have been using outline to navigate in the pages file but the pdf would be simpler for me to do under meeting conditions.
PAM

Your son was probably referring to *Adobe Acrobat Pro*. But I can't see how that would help with the sidebar automatically.
In *Acrobat Pro* it would be a matter of selecting each head to make a bookmark from that and then resave the .pdf file with the bookmarks sidebar showing upon opening.
You can also add and edit bookmarks in Preview.
+Preview > Menu > Bookmarks > Add Bookmark/Edit Bookmarks…+
I did a further experiment with a Pages document with bookmarks to see if that created the sidebar with bookmarks, but it didn't work.
There are differences in the ways Preview and Acrobat Reader display .pdfs even with what seem to be straight forward settings. I can never depend on a uniform display.
Particularly where PC users are involved.
Peter
btw When you viewed your Pages document with your TOC did you set the Preview sidebar to show "Table of Contents" in the little icons at the foot of the Preview sidebar.

How to retrieve PDF form table's data in workflow?

I have employee table in PDF form?How I retrieve the data in workflow using XSD mapping?

You need to use either the processFormSubmission operation of the LiveCycle Forms service or the exportData operation of the Data Integration service to get the xml out of the PDF.
Then you can use xPath to get to the appropriate node in the xml.

PDF and tables (10Dukes)

Hi,
I have big problem.I'm servlet that will be generating pdf document that contain large table ( with many colums and rows). It is important that the generated PDF will be printer friendly, with no data lost, and columns and rows not broken in the middle. If there is not enough room for all the columns in the printed page I want that the next page will print the columns that couldnt fit in the previous page. The same with rows.
Please tell me, which library should I use, and how:
iText ( but I think there is only manual column split)
fop (http://marc.info/?l=fop-user&m=109395969429242&w=2)
anything else?
Is it possible?
Please help

I use iText and it works fine for me.
For the rows, it's done automatically. See http://itext.ugent.be/library/com/lowagie/examples/objects/tables/AddBigTable.java
Create your document as follows: Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 2, 2, 2, 2); to fit the page size..
For the columns, I split the table into many ones. Every single table deals with a predefined columns range.
the number of columns per table depends on the the width of the cells you have to insert into your PDF document.

Error converting DOC to PDF, corrupt table

Hello,
Using XP, MS Word 2003, Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
Trying to convert a 15MB doc to pdf. After 14 minutes, I get a MS Word error, "This error message may be the result of a corrupt table in the current document.You can recover the contents..." The steps for recovery involves "open & repair", which is an option that I can't find (maybe MS Word 2007?)
If I take the original doc & compress the photos to reduce the file size to about 11MB, then the PDF is ok. I can also split up the doc into two documents. Each part converts ok, then I can combine them. Both options works, but both are time consuming. (So I'm not buying the "corrupt table" error.)
I have other doc's that convert ok. One is 29MB and converts in 2 minutes. The difference that I can note is that the 15MB doc uses primary nothing but text boxes for the entire doc. Text & photos are inserted into each text box. A dozen of these are smaller than 11MB & will convert, but very slowly. Over that size & I get the above error.
I can't change Word Doc format. (customer's requirements)
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks

There has been a change with AA9 that does the create PDF option a bit differently than before. I am not sure of the details, but if you are assuming the same process as I will describe you will at least have an idea of what is happening. In prior versions of Acrobat, there are basically 2 conversion processes. The right click in explorer to convert and opening the file in Acrobat both go back to the create PDF process in WORD, so let me just describe the WORD process. When you print to the Adobe PDF printer, then you are simply doing a conversion (or print) just like you would to paper. Excluding the printer metric issues with WORD (2007 turns these off by default), you should get a replica of the WORD file in appearance. Choices include down sampling the graphics and embedding the fonts, both of which are recommended. These are part of the printer properties.
The end result of the print is effectively an electronic paper version of your original file. It is not recommended for editing (except for form fields and such), in just the same way it is preferred to not use whiteout on a typed paper version. The process of creating this print file is a two step process where a PS file is created (can be very memory intensive) and then the PS file is put through Distiller in the background to create the PDF (these require AcroTray to be active to do this automatically).
PDF Maker (create PDF) adds several features to the file, but it is only available in selected applications like MS OFFICE. These features are added by including PDF Marks in the PS file created in the print process. You can include bookmarks, links, and tags for accessibility (tags tend to really bloat the file big time). The items to be included are in the preferences of PDF Maker in the application. It is also a good idea to use the Standard job settings as a minimum, but I typically recommend print or press options. I use a job settings file provided by a publisher that is optimize for journal publication.
The fact that PDF Maker adds all the extra bits is likely why you are having problems. You can try turning all the added features off and then go back and add only the ones you need. That may help your situation. Keep in mind that graphics will be expanded (are not compressed) when sent to the PS file -- causing a huge file in some cases. The temporary storage is limited by your TEMP folder and not by the size of your hard disk and that is the route of the problem for large files.
As I said, PDF Maker has apparently changed a bit for AA9, but the idea is likely similar.

HELP ME PLEASE !!! dynamic pdf with table grows each time it's saved and reopened??? HELP PLEASE !

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I created a form (dynamic pdf) with Livecycle ES 8.2.
This document has a table in which rows are added when the user clicks on a button.
The document in design stage takes up no more than 1/2 an A4. Here are my two problems;
1. When the document is opened in Reader (9.3) it is all formatted correctly accept the one row, in it's default state (which can be added to by clicking button) is now three rows????
2. Whether the two extra rows are deleted or filled in or whether more rows are added and filled in, if the document is saved and opened again with reader it has grown to a full page (of empty default rows). If saved again, it grows to 4 pages and so on.
Can somebody please help me. I can supply a copy of my file if necessary.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but the document is protected with a password to open in Livecycle and it also has user rights assigned for the user to be able to save a copy on their local machine (not just allowed to fill out and print).
My email is [email protected]
Would appreciate any help that can be offered. My document is ready (accept for this issue) for me to use in my job.
Regards
Bradd

Bradd,
Please forward the form and I can take a look. If you want to forward a version of the form that is not password protected or send the password in a separate email, that is up to you.
