Prepopulating Interactive Form with XML Data using VBA

I have an excel spreadsheet with data on it. I need to click on a button that will cause an Interactive PDF form to open and be populated with data from the spreadsheet. To do this I want to use an XML data file. I know how to create the file, but how do I cause the PDF to open in Adobe Reader with the XML data file using VBA? The link needs to be a soft link, in that the name of the XML file could change.
Many thanks for answers.

strXFDFFile = "c:\temp\" & strFileName & "tmp.xfdf"
 'Open the PDF file
 appPDFInit = True
 Status "Processing " & strFileName
 DoEvents
 ' Create PDF File, if any
 If strXFDFFile <> "" Then
 Dim fldValue As String
 Open strXFDFFile For Output As #1
 Print #1, "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>"
 Print #1, "<xfdf xmlns=""http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"" xml:space=""preserve"">"
 Print #1, "<f href=""" & strFilePath & strFileName & """/>"
 Print #1, "<fields>"
 For Each fdField In rsData.Fields
 If IsNull(fdField.Value) Then
 fldValue = ""
 Else
 fldValue = fdField.Value
 fldValue = XMLit(fldValue)
 End If
 If InStr(1, fdField.Name, "ID") > 0 Then
 fldValue = Format(fldValue, "##########")
 End If
 If InStr(1, fdField.Name, "ZIP") > 0 Then
 fldValue = Format(fldValue, "#####")
 End If
 If InStr(1, fdField.Name, "Rate") > 0 Then
 fldValue = Format(fldValue, "#0.00#")
 End If
 ' Write #1, fdField.Name,
 Print #1, "<field name=""" & fdField.Name & """>"
 Print #1, "<value>" & fldValue & "</value>"
 Print #1, "</field>"
 Next
 Print #1, "</fields>"
 Print #1, "</xfdf>"
 Close #1
 End If
 Dim x As Long
 For x = 1 To 1000000: Next x
 LaunchPDF.LaunchFile strXFDFFile, 0, 2
Make sure you reference the Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Library under Tools | References
It will merge to Adobe Reader. Note that I have made the strXFDFFile variable unique by including the name of the PDF file. This assures that you can merge to more than one PDF at a time (this is taken from a loop for multiple PDF files). Note that the XFDF file must include the path and the PDF file name in order to open the correct PDF for merging.
I don't have time to explain the code, but if you have any questions let me know.

Populating a PDF form with XML data

Hi folks,
I would like to create some pdf form template, populate it with xml data and output from it a pdf file.
Can I do such thing using LiveCycle?

1) this questions was asked many times before, you didn´t search for a second
2) I am not aware of any standard solution
3) custom solution: use XSLT transformation ID to get XML from the filled DDIC structure and use string operations to add the header and footer to create a valid XML.

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9
Developed a interactive PDf form
Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Barcoded form with XML-data

Hi all,
In our solution we have some barcodes on a form (7 barcodes on the one that I am using), they contain compressed XML data (I know that this uses much space in the barcode - anyway it should work regardless of this).
What the interesting thing is what is returned from the "decode-service" in WB.
When I run a scanned form through the process I have created I get "garbled" xml in my XML-doc that is returned from the decode-service.
If I use a handheld scanner (with a customly created program that handles the compression) I get the correct data from the barcode.
If I do not use compression in the barcode I get the correct XML data from the barcode (with the decode-service). This is weird to me... What is going on???
Some time ago I posted this issue (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c058293) but never really caught up with a solution.
Can you help me with this?
Sincerely
Kim

Populate PDF form with XML data

Although a seemingly simple task, this question has occupied way too much of my time the last week and I am asking the following out of sheer desperation and frustration.
I have a pdf form created with Designer 7.0. I have a separate XML data file to populate the form with. I can test using the preview in Designer and everything looks great. Now, all I want to do is deploy this pdf to a standard web server (IIS, Windows) such that any visitor to the site (using Reader) is able to open it/view it/print it, with the data there. That's it.
This was easily accomplished using Acrobat 6 by creating an ASP page that output an FDF file which referenced the PDF. Not so with the latest version.
I have downloaded three separate several hundred page documents that do not explain how to accomplish this task simply. So to summarize:
1. Does this task *require* a separate piece of software (Document Server) that was not required before?
2. If Document Server is not required, what are the steps to publish the pdf file and reference the data file?
Please help, extraordinarily frustrated :-(.

Ravinder, were you actually able to get your PDF Document (Form) to load with data? I have not been able to get my .NET page to populate my PDF document - the PDF loads in my Browser but has no data. If you can post sample code that you were able to get to work, it would be appreciated, or if you notice something wrong with my code below, please let me know. Also, when my PDF document loads in my browser, I am prompted to "Open or Save" my .xdp file and if I click "Open", my PDF Form loads, but the fields are not populated. How do I stop this prompt from loading? I don't want the user(s) to be able to see this.

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

Attach the whole form with XML data when Emailed

Hi all
I am new to Adobe Livecycle product. I have been using IBM workplace forms and now want to migrate to Adobe Forms. I want the whole completed PDF form to be attached along with the xml data in it when someone clicks the email button and email is sent. Currently when I am able to attach only the data part to the email.
Please advice on this...
Thanks
Ullas

The default email submit button is set up to send just the data/ If you drop a button object onto the form, set it to be a submit button, then use the mailto protocol to setup who you want to send it to. One of the button parameters allows you to choose what you want to submit. in your case choose PDF.

Delete Power Query queries' custom XML data using VBA

I have Power Query queries in an Excel 2010 file and would like to delete these queries using VBA. so far I can achieve that manually with the following steps:
unload Power Query addin
run Document Inspector and click to delete Custom XML data
The Macro recorder record the following code for step 2.
Sub Makro1()
' Makro1 Makro
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIPrinterPath)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIDocumentProperties)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIInactiveDataConnections)
End Sub
However, using this macro I do not achieve the same result (=PQ query code gone from the workbook).
Any ideas on how to achieve the PQ query codes to be removed using VBA?

On some cases Macro Recording is not complete, and misses to record the full set of VBA to automate the actions you record. This is probably such a case.
We are looking into future ways to allow you automate Power Query cleanup.
For the time being, please see if the
Document Inspector interface can clean the custom XML data (which holds the Power Query data structures).
thx, Gil.

Repeating sub-form with XML data from aspx page

Hi, I am doing a POC where I have a repeating subform in my Life cycle form. Now I want it to show data based on the XML that I have written, sample is below. My problem is that the sub-form does not repeat. Can you help me with this problem or if you can let me know your experience if this is possible that would be great.

Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

Hello.
I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
What are my choices..?
So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
Any suggestion?

Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
byte[] mybytes = null;
try
//Create a Java Transformer object
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
//Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Create a Java Source object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
//Create a Java Result object
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
//Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
// Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
//Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
//Copy the content to the byte array
mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
//Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
//contents of the byte array
Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
return myDocument;
THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
formName, //formQuery
myDocument, //inDataDoc
pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
uriValues, //urlSpec
fileAttachments //attachments
Hope this helps!

Create offline interactive forms using webdynpro java with XML data source

Hi Gurus,
I am having a scenario like below:
Sales guy request for order list online from portal- Sytem receives the request and creat XML file- from xml file need to create a Offline interactive form-Sales guy fills it offline at customer site- uploads in portal -on submit xml has to be generated with captured data at customer site-Process to ECC.
So my questions are:
How to create the offline interactive form from XML?
Once filled offline interactive form uploaded into portal how to create XML again from pdf ?
Please give some idea on this as this is my first Offline interactive form using XML datasource.
Thanks
Ravi
Edited by: Ravi Sunkara on Jul 27, 2010 5:25 PM

Hi Otto,
Sorry for replying lately. First of all I did not get your suggestions as your are editing the same posting.
Secondly we will be using WDJ. Actually in between SAP Portal and ECC we are having adobe LCES so we need to create Interactive form using XML only. Once it is filled again the form will be submitted to another application which is running on FLEX, which will process the order.
if you can give me your personal id i can send you the detailed process
Thanks

XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
namespace DRRS_CSharp
public partial class frmPDF : Form
public frmPDF()
InitializeComponent();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);
Paragraph para=new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Record-Assigned Dialyzer",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",16,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(105f, 105f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select d.dialyserID,r.errorCode,r.dialysis_date,pn.patient_first_name,pn.patient_last_name,d.manufacturer,d.dialyzer_size,r.start_date,r.end_date,d.packed_volume,r.bundle_vol,r.disinfectant,t.Technician_first_name,t.Technician_last_name from dialyser d,patient_name pn,reprocessor r,Techniciandetail t where pn.patient_id=d.patient_id and r.dialyzer_id=d.dialyserID and t.technician_id=r.technician_id and d.deleted_status=0 and d.closed_status=0 and pn.status=1 and r.errorCode<106 and r.reprocessor_id in (Select max(reprocessor_id) from reprocessor where dialyzer_id=d.dialyserID) order by pn.patient_first_name,pn.patient_last_name", conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader dr;
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
table.AddCell("Reprocessing Date");
table.AddCell("Patient Name");
table.AddCell("Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)");
table.AddCell("No.of Reuse");
table.AddCell("Verification");
table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());
table.AddCell("@count".ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[12].ToString() + "-" + dr[13].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[0].ToString());
dr.Close();
table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("AssignedDialyzer.pdf");
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.Yes)
var writer2 = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

Hi,
Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
Any information regarding this will be of great help.
Regards
Satish Kumar

There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations, one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.
