Prepopulating PDF with XML best way to do this?

Hi,
I'm quite new to LiveCycle Forms and I was wondering if someone can help me with the following.
First of all, I'm using LiveCycle Forms 7.2 and Designer 7.0. I have a couple of hundred PDFs (all differ from each other) created with the Designer and now I need to merge one XML to every one of these PDFs.
My biggest wonder right now is the best way to do this. From the documentation I got the understanding that Forms can only merge XML and XDP files. Not XML and PDF. Am I correct?
So do I need to get those two hundred forms saved in XDP, import the XML scheme to them and apply the scheme to match the fields in the form? This is done in the Designer? After that I could use PDFMerge in the Forms to merge the XML and XDP?
Is this the best way to do this or are there some alternatives for this?
I would really appreciate the help from you guys.

on your bottom layer you should put your background and lock
it. convert all your bubbles to movie clips. on your first frame in
the top layer, put your first bubble. if you want to fade in, go to
properties>color>alpha and set it to 0. then go in 5 or 10
frames, make a keyframe, and set the alpha to 100. then tween it
in. after a few frames, depending on how long you want to have the
bubble visible, make a keyframe. then 5 or 10 frames later make
another keyframe, set the alpha to 0 and tween it. if you want a
wait period in between bubbles skip a few frames and make a new
keyframe, or else just make a keyframe right where you are. then
repeat the fade processes for the rest of the bubbles. for the last
bubble, make a new layer on top of everything and lock it. this is
your actions layer. on the frame in which the last bubble comes in
to view, make a keyframe in your actions layer and put in a stop
action: stop(); or just type Esc,S,T . congradulations, you have a
comic with word bubbles! if you want characters, put them each in
their own layer.
i hope this helps.

Pl help me with the best way of coding this

I have a procedure in which there is a varchar2 parameter passed ie p_job . I have to use this parameter in the where clause of the static query.
If the passing value is '*' then
IF p_job = '*' THEN
WHERE JOB IN ('MANAGER', 'CLERK', 'SALESMAN')
ELSE
WHERE JOB=p_job
How to write the query?
Manjula

Where job = DECODE(p_job,'*','MANAGER','*','CLERK','*','SALESMAN',p_job) That would give you only the first value from the decode, not the IN list of values that the OP requires.
SQL> variable p_job varchar2(10)

SQL> exec :p_job := '*' ;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select DECODE(:p_job,'*','MANAGER','*','CLERK','*','SALESMAN',:p_job) from dual ;
DECODE(:P_JOB,'*','MANAGER','*',

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

@Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
A final resort to bring down file size is:
1. Print to PostScript
2. Distill to PDF
That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

I've been using older printers (including an imagesetter) connected to10.5.8 With a new 10.6 machine I'm looking to still use the printers. I can use the olderG5 as a sever if need be. What would be the best way to do this? ine

I've replaced my 10.5.8 with another machine 10.6.8 which as we know doesn't support Apple Talk which has been used to print to 2 bulletproof older printers and an imagesetter. I wan't to keep using the printers and can use the 10.5.8 as a server. What is the best way to do this?

Hi
You could do this a number of ways. Using the LPD Daemon might work best for your location?
First: assign the machine you're going to use as the 10.5.8 'server' a fixed IP address.
Second: add desired printers to that machine using the usual methods.
Once added share them using the Print Sharing option in the Sharing Preferences Pane. On the 10.6.8 machine add the printer using the IP address of the 10.5.8 'server'.
System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the '+' icon. Click on the IP Icon and key in the IP address you previously assigned. Leave the Queue field alone and select the relevant PPD from the Print Using field (see below). You'll have to search for these yourself.
You don't have to 'install' the PPDs on the 10.6.8 machine as such. Simply copying them over from their location on the 10.5.8 machine (use a memory stick to do the transfer) to the same location on the 10.6.8 machine will be enough.
There should be no need to restart.
HTH?

In Final Cut Express I have two videos I'd like to merge parts of each video into a final film. What is the best way to do this in FCE?

Hi
I use a slightly different way than Alchroma.
Same
• One video on track 1 and the other on Video.track 2
• Resize to 25% and move one to the left and the other to the right
Diff
• I don't use the blade tool
• I use the Pen tool and change the transparency - then I get fast or slow transitions in same stroke and easy to fine-tune later if needed. (But this can be done with the Roll-tool if Blade is used - so it might be as easy)
Final
• Resize to 100% and Center
Video is done
Audio - very close to this by changing the level so that best audio will dominate
• Pen tool here too
But that's me - the Alchroma way is as good as this or may be better for some

Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Hi, I bought my iPhone in Canada but have moved to Australia. I need to speak with someone at Apple Canada what is the best way to do this? Is there is an e-mail address?

Hi, I bought my iPhone in Canada but have moved to Australia. I need to speak with someone at Apple Canada what is the best way to do this? Is there is an e-mail address? When I call the Apple Canada number it says I can't call from my location.

In what way did you buy your iPhone? If you paid full price at the Apple Store then your phone should be provider unlocked and should work with practically any SIM card you choose to insert in it. If you bought it cheaper with a contract then it's provider locked then your best bet is to call your cellular provider in Canada. Be sure to note your IMEI number (Settings > General > About) as they're going to need it to do an unlock. Be aware they may or may not charge for this.

Theory - Best way to store this type of data for retrieval?

Hi everyone,
So I'm pretty new to databases and I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to retrieve this kind of data:
an ID that is 36 digits long
col1 = {option1, option2, option3...}
col2 = {option1, option2, option3...}
coln = {option1, option2, option3...}
I need to be able to perform queries on the data based on some concatenation of 3 digit sequences for the ID
for example, I may want to retrieve all the records where the ID begins with '123' or where the ID begins with '123123', or '123123200', etc,
There are going to be close to a billion if not more of these records
the 3 digit sequences will always be a number between 000-255
It is not necessary for me to have a 36 digit long ID, I simply chose that because it seemed like the simplest way to associate a record with its combination of 3 digit sequences.
Like I said, I'm very new to databases. I've been doing a lot of reading on indexing and clustering and nested tables and partitions, but I'm not quite sure which of these I should pursue with this kind of data. Most of the examples that I've read about don't really deal about querying with variable precision.
Would the best way to get this data simply be to use an 'is like' statement on the ID? If so, are there any kinds of indexing I should take a look at that would benefit from knowing that the is like statements would follow the format of <3 digits,3 digits,3 digits>? Also, at the data level, would it be more efficient to use hexadecimal to store the sequences of 3 digits since they conviently fall in the range of 00-FF? I'm just throwing ideas out there, I haven't found much help browsing the web, but maybe I haven't looked in the right place. If anyone has any ideas or places to redirect me, it would be great!
Also, I know sometimes it helps to know the main kind of queries on the data that someone is primarily concerned about. In this case, most queries will be selective counts, for example finding the number of records whose ID's begin with '123006011' and col1='option1'.
Thanks,
Alex

So I'm starting to rewrite my code. I was shocked at how easy it was to implement the SAX parser, but it works great. Now I'm on to doing away with my nasty string arrays.
Of course, the basic layout of the XML is like this:
<result1>
<element1>value</element1>
<element2>value</element2>
</result1>
<result2>
I thought about storing each element/value in a HashMap for each result. This works great for a single result. But what if I have 1000 results? Do I store 1000 HashMaps in an ArrayList (if that's even possible)? Is there a way to define an array of HashMaps?

TS1314 I have lots of organized photos on my PC and I want to keep them organized to sync to ipad.... how is the best way to do this?

I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
What is the simplest method to do this ? I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced. I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years. So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization. Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel.
Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
Thank you, in advance, for your help.
p.s. I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products. And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System. It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !

Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it).

HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. What is the best way to do this.

I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it needs me to have the latest itunes on my computer. I have not upgraded by computer for some time and thought this is probably the time to do it. My computer is an imac intel with Tiger 10.4.11. I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher. What is the best way to do this? Appreciate any help as I am out of practice. I used to be an old hand at this, but things have moved on since I didn't upgrade or use my computer as much!

The best way, really the only way, is to purchase Snow Leopard.
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
Once you install Snow Leopard, upgrade iTunes to version 10.7 or the latest, iTunes 11.
iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with either Intel or PowerPC processors, but since you have an Intel iMac, the best solution is to purchase Snow Leopard. Leopard is no longer available from Apple and prices from aftermarket vendors can be unreasonably high.

What's the best way for reading this binary file?

I've written a program that acquires data from a DAQmx card and writes it on a binary file (attached file and picture). The data that I'm acquiring comes from 8 channels, at 2.5MS/s for, at least, 5 seconds. What's the best way of reading this binary file, knowing that:
-I'll need it also on graphics (only after acquiring)
-I also need to see these values and use them later in Matlab.
I've tried the "Array to Spreadsheet String", but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all of the 8 channels, but only 1).
LabView 8.6
Solved!

But my real problem, at least now, is how can I divide the information to get not only one graphic but eight?
I can read the file, but I get this (with only two channels):
So what I tried was, using a for loop, saving 250 elements in different arrays and then writing it to the .txt file. But it doesn't come right... I used 250 because that's what I got from the graphic: at each 250 points it plots the other channel.
Am I missing something here? How should I treat the information coming from the binary file, if not the way I'm doing?
(attached are the .vi files I'm using to save in the .txt format)
(EDITED. I just saw that I was dividing my graph's data in 4 just before plotting it... so It isn't 250 but 1000 elements for each channel... Still, the problem has not been solved)

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

Is this possible and the best way to approach this?

hello all, back again with more questions
What I would like to do is load an external swf (preloader) into a container swf, when the preloader swf is loaded, run code from the preloader's document class that will check to see if the container swf is fully loaded. Once the container swf is fully loaded, load in another swf and unload the preloader swf.
I would like to keep all code in external classes and off timelines while creating a situation where I can load this preloader swf into any parent swf and do that check. is this possible and the best way to approach this?
any advice/help would be great.

Why not just do it the more straightforward/normal way and use the preloader to load your other files? The preloader would load the 'container' you have now, and when it's done load the other swf you mentioned.
