Problem filling in a form with xml file

I have two forms that are used to inform people in town via the web of items needed in a food bank. The first form is filled out by the caretaker and has a "print" and "submit" button at the bottom. The second form is identical to the first but does not have a submit button since it is published on the web and readers can print it out to take with them shopping. Last month I was able to fill the second form with  data from the first that was exported as a xml file and inported into the second. For some unknown reason other that my program was updated this no longer works. Is there a way for this to still function?

There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

  • Populating PDF Form with XML File.

    Hi,
    I need my PDF form to be populated with the data in XML file.I've created a data connction to the file and binded the values to my fields.When I've opened the form in Reader/Acrobat i'm not able to see any date on the form.
    Currently,I'm using "xfa.host.importData()" to import an XML file on a button click.It is working fine.But I need to load the data on Form Load itself.
    I'm relatively new to PDF technologies.Any help would br gratly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.

    The binding feature in designer just allows you to describe how to map fields to data elements, not to actually populate them autotmatically. You would need to have a server component to merge data / pre-populate or a script on your reader-enabled form to load the data. You can use xfa.host.importData() in DocReady event if you want it to prompt on loading the pdf. Earlier events in the chain wont work until the form has been properly loaded.

  • Update a system form with XML: empty screen when this is a target document.

    Hi,
    It is possible to update a system form with an xml file.
    In the UI_Application.LoadBatchActions(xmlDoc). In the xmldocuemnt I update a system form by adding controls on it. This all works fine, except one (big) problem.
    Assume that I Alter the 'Good Receipt PO'.
    This document can be the target document of a Purchase order document. When you open a PO and click the icon on the toolbar for going to the target document, you see the target document filled in, in OK (view) mode.
    When you alter the 'Goods Receipt PO' form with XML you get an empty goods receipt form, in Add mode.
    Is this a known problem, how can I solve it?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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!

  • Problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP

    Hi!
    there is problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP.
    when I transfer print form from one SAP system to other, logo image and some text is missing... what could be the reason?
    Maybe there is other way to transfer print forms between SAP systems without using program RSTXSCRP?
    Will reward,
    Mindaugas

    Hi,
    when you transfer print forms from one sap system to another, logos are not transfered automatically. these are actually .bmp files which need to be existing in every client. then only when you run your print program logo can be seen in your print output. hence logos need to be created explicitly in every client where you want to run your print program.

  • .tmp files genrated along with XML files

    Hi all,
    Here my Interfaces are type of RFC- XI - FTP.
    these are running successfully past long time and creating XML files in the target directory of FTP aplication system. Along with XML files this time abnormally .tmp files were generated in the Target directory of FTP application system. This was occured only one time few days back.
    The generated XML files in target FTP system as usually read by Application system and processed in the sytem.
    And tmp files generated are as XI_ftp_XI_ftp_0c200300-704c.tmp
    could you all please let me know what could be the reason for happening this like generation of .tmp files abnoramally in Target FTP application system.
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards,
    Siva

    Hi, thanks for reply.
    The Write mode is "Use temporary file"
    But we have not got these .tmp files earlier and we have not mentioned any temporary file name sceme too.
    Could any body please explain will .tmp files are generated randomly?
    If i keep 'Directly' mode, will it keeps only the XML files in target directory?
    Please advise.

  • 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

  • Problems by getting info out of XML file with a HTTP request

    Hi,
    I have a litte question. I'm working on an application that works together with google maps. In my java code, I get general information about address out of one database table, and I want to add some geographic information like coordinates that I want to retrieve from Google Maps through HTTP:
    Right now my code is like:
    while (resultSet.next())
                             title = resultSet.getString("title").replaceAll("'","''").toUpperCase();
                             author = resultSet.getString("author").replaceAll("'","''").toUpperCase();
                             location = resultSet.getString("location").replaceAll("'","''").toUpperCase();
                             straatnaam = resultSet.getString("straatnaam").replaceAll("'","''").toUpperCase();
                             nummer = resultSet.getString("nummer");
                             landcode = resultSet.getString("landcode").replaceAll("'","''").toUpperCase();
                             address = straatnaam + " " + nummer + " , " + location + " " + landcode;
                             url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" + address + "&output=xml&key=+key+";
                             String query = "INSERT INTO data2 VALUES ('" + i + "','" + title + "','" + author + "','" + resultSet.getString("date1") + "','" + resultSet.getString("date2") + "','" + location + "','" + resultSet.getString("postcode") + "','" + straatnaam + "','" + resultSet.getString("nummer") + "','" + landcode + "','+something like url.getCoordX+','something like url.getCoordY')";
                             success = sql2.executeUpdate(query);
                             i++;
    Now I don't know how I can handle that. Is it possible to do an HTTP request in Java without using Java Script of servlets? I just want to get the X and Y coordinates out of the XML file.
    The XML file will be something like:
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

    Hi, sorry for being not so clear. My question was actually if it is possible to do a HTTP request in Java without using servlets or being in Java Script. Actually my question was more specific for Google maps, because it didn't seem to work. It was my mistake, and already solved, to forget to make the webservice-call "URL-encoded". Because of that, I always received a HTTP 400 error, and that's why I thought it wouldn't be possible.
    But now I have another, perhaps for you guys stupid question. The result I get from the webservice URL is of the form:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

    urlString = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" + address + "&output=xml&key=ABQIAAAA9fEXNK-q6vKpPU0JCmPPkxQjbVBpjtblJJYkDfbMo0e51afwehRmujfvBtJqx1Qehg6e6QgCRY8poA";
    url = new URL(urlString);
    XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
    Document domDoc = processData(url);
    path = "/kml/Response/Placemark/Point/coordinates";
    coord = xPath.evaluate(path, domDoc);
    System.out.println("coord : " + coord);Now, in the last line, by writing out the value of coord to my screen, I get the value "1", instead of "4.126295,51.097724,0" I would expect, anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
