PDF XFA form/internet browser/JAVA application/Drag and Drop

Hi guys,
I need to be able to open a PDF XFA form (a PDF document where I have some input controls and javascripts for validation) inside a JPanel.
If this is not doable am thinking if i can open this pdf form in a web browser by launching it from my java application.
And when I do this, I want to be able to drag and drop between the java application and the browser.
Anyone can tell me if that is doable?
Thanks and Regards,
Rawad

Tristan,
I am stuck in the same place. Perhaps we could work on this together.
I am trying to drag a single item from a JList to a text editor, Word, etc. I have two problems:
1) I can't seem to get just the item in the JList to drag. It wants to drag the entire JList component.
2) How does one define the remote application as the drop target? Have not found any examples either.
Is the drop target actually the system clipboard?

Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery. The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.
DataFlavor uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
               Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
               String uriStr;
               while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                   URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                   String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                   GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);

Is it possible to combine pdfs from software containing the file by dragging and dropping them?

We have a piece of software that we profile PDF files into it and then have a need to combine those PDFs into one file. Is it possible to just drag and drop from the software into the combine files area? I know if you open the files first, you can do that or if you save the documents locally, then you can combine them. It would be ideal to just select the files in the software, then drag and drop them into the combine pdf window. We are using Adobe Pro XI.

Hi Hawk2000,
The workflow you are talking about is very much possible with Acrobat and a good example is Microsoft Outlook from which we can select multiple e-mails and simply drag into Acrobat combine dialog box for combining.
What happens when you drag files from you software? Is it public software?
Can we test your software?

Java script- drag and drop

Can i use java scripte to do a drag&drop interface?I want to move a picture(.jpg or.gif) to anywhere on ie.

There are drag and drop functions in DHTML that you can use in Javascript :
ondrag
Fires on the source object continuously during a drag operation.
ondragend
Fires on the source object when the user releases the mouse at the close of a drag operation.
ondragenter
Fires on the target element when the user drags the object to a valid drop target.
ondragleave
Fires on the target object when the user moves the mouse out of a valid drop target during a drag operation.
ondragover
Fires on the target element continuously while the user drags the object over a valid drop target.
ondragstart
Fires on the source object when the user starts to drag a text selection or selected object.
ondrop
Fires on the target object when the mouse button is released during a drag-and-drop operation.

Multiple windows open up in one browser. I drag and dropped websites to the taskbar and now can't get rid of it.

I thought it would be convenient for 3 windows to open automatically in one browser. It slows my laptop down and I want to be able to click on Firefox and have just one window open. Any ideas how to fix?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Java 2D Drag and Drop

Hi, I am trying to write some code which does the following. When a use clicks on th JPanel a circle is drawn. What I now want to do is allow the user to select that circle and move it to a different position. Could anyone help me with this. I have implemented the drawing of the circle, I am not stuck on how to move the circle to a different position. Hope someone can help. Thank you!

You can use Shape.contains method to see if your click point is in the circle and then animate movement appropriately.

Drag and drop won't work in application

Hello,
I want to drag and drop elements of a listbox to another position inside ob the listbox.
That works very fine as long as I use LabView during the programming of the VI.
If I build the VI to a application drag and drop is not working anymore.
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Ronny

Just hit the bug myself. Thanks for taking the time to post so I don't have to waste time debugging a know issue.

Widget won't drag and drop accross

Hi there
I am so sorry, I'm a complete beginner here. I am doing the tutorial's but for some reason my color sample in the library won't drag across. Seems like the simplest thing in the world, but I just can't make it work. What silly thing am I doing wrong? I'm working on Windows 7. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for replying Brad. In the Muse tutorials for Katies Cafe, there are some things you download straight into your library... a colour sample, a contact form, social icons etc. You're then supposed to drag them onto the page you're building Try as I might this will not work (I'm following the tutorial step by step).
If I go into the widget library where the forms etc are those things drag and drop across fine. It's driving me crazy. I've reloaded the files into Muse, restarted my computer, all that stuff. I'm stuck, and need to learn this programme for a client of mine.
Any thoughts?

Drag and Drop - Java -- other application

Hi,
I'm writing an application, which requires to transfer the content of textfields through Drag and Drop to any other application.
Basically this works, but in combination with some applications, e.g. Mozilla, it happens, that the DragSourceListener doesn't recognize, that the Drag and Drop - operation is finished.
Because of this I get an InvalidDnDOperationException, when I try to start a new Drag and Drop - operation.
Can anyone tell me, how to solve the problem?
thanks in advance
Christoph

How to add pdf acrofield by drag and drop in browser

i want to add pdf acrofield by drag and drop in browser.Help me.

Any other way to achieve this concept?

Drag and drop functionality of a LiveCycle designed form

I have done a fair amount of searching on the forums to try and solve this problem but have been unable to find an answer.
We have for years and years been using Adobe Acrobat 8 and associated LiveCycle suite. We have a few forms designed in LiveCycle that, once reader enabled, were able to be filled out and then "drag and drop"'d into regular PDF files. An entire system has been created out of this function.
We recently, in the last few days, upgraded the entire Adobe software suite on our server to X level. Since the upgrade, we have been unable to "drag and drop" any of our Livecycle forms in to any PDF files. We are receiving this message:
"You cannot insert pages from an Adobe XML form into another PDF file. To include Adobe XML forms with other PDF files, please use the following menu option: Document > Attach a File"
The problem is, we don't want to attached the file as a separate document. We need it in a specific place within the PDF document, not as an outside document.
This has worked for multiple years prior to our adobe upgrade, so I know it is possible.
Adobe Guru's, what I am missing?

The sample PDF you sent me that got converted to an Acroform did not include any calculation scripts. I'd be interested in seeing a sample XFA that got converted to an Acroform that retains the calculations. The scripting object models are so different that I would be suprised if anything worked even if the scripts were retained, which I doubt. There certainly isn't an automatic conversion form FormCalc or XFA-based JavaScript to something compatible with Acrobat-based JavaScript. Note that when you import an Acroform with scripting into Designer that all scripts are commented out because they cannot work in the different environment.
I don't know of a way other than what you have already used. As mentioned in the other discussion I linked to, it may no longer be possible even with low-level tools (e.g., PDF CanOpener) that can manipulate the PDF content.
Livecycle versatility is what stole u away from the acrobat forms "document conversion autoform".
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I prefer to work in Acrobat to create PDF forms, but I realize a lot of people enjoy working with Designer. Many types of changes can be made quickly in Acrobat, but I'm not aware of a design environment that's more like Designer but for Acroforms. I'm not trying to change your mind about which is better, but if you ultimately require Acroforms (because XFA cannot be inserted into a normal PDF), then you need to look somewhere other than Designer.
The bug exists in Acrobat 9, but when I try it none of the scripting or actions are included. I haven't bothered to test with Acrobat 10 or 11 yet, but it looks like you already have. So one answer would be to use a version of Acrobat that allows this.

Drag and drop in windowed application

i have created application using drag and drop funcatinalities .it's working in webbrowser as internet application .but i converted int o a windowed application and dra and drop isn't working in that form as desktop app.
pls help me
thank you.

Maybe I should mention that this drag and drop feature doesn't work on ALL the programs, which leads me to believe that this is a system preferences problem. I can't drag into any of the Adobe programs, iPhoto, Kodak Easyshare, etc.
I understand the Get Info solution, but that is pinpointing only one type of file... I would like to fix this feature for all files.
Thanking in advance, Ck

Drag and Drop to Forms

Hi OraTechies,
Can anyone give some insight to my problem.
The apps is written with Forms 6.0 and deploy in client server architecture. Soon, to be web enabled.
In production, a user constantly complain about lost data. We found out he was dragging text/data from MS-Word document and dropping to a field in a multi-record forms. When record is saved and re-queried the data is not there.
The drag and drop shows the data is being copied to the field. If the record is cleared without saving, the dragged over text is "hovering" over the field. It looks like Windows just repainted the display and nothing else.
Comments, suggestions or solutions anyone?
Cheers,
AC-NZ

Francois,
I have tried to implement this bean but I'm having problems. I've been using your
LAF package for almost 4 years now without issue. I tried the jar file from the zip
file. I also created a new project and recompiled the java code against the 10.1.2.3
frmall.jar file that matches our app server. I resigned it and it's still not working.
Maybe I'm just missing something simple. When I compile and run the form, I see
the canvas and I can change the text fields, but I don't see how I can drag and
drop items. Hopefully, you can think of something that can fix our problem. I would
love to be able to use drag and drop functionality in an upcoming application.
We're running the following versions:
App Server: 10.1.2.3
DB: 10.2.0.5
JDev: 10.1.3.3.0
Windows XP for the clients
Windows Server 2008 for the servers
Thanks,
Jason
Edit: I looked in my java console and saw that my issue was that we signed this jar file with a different certificate. I created a special config as Francois has suggested in another post and included only the DnD.jar file and it worked. However, I can't get the image or multi-line text areas to drag and drop. I'll keep poking around and see if I can figure out what's going on. The console seems to recognize when I'm dragging and dropping from all fields.
