Problems with XML import to PDF form esp. checkboxes

I am posting this here because it was suggested to me to do so when I posted it here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5613723
Hi,
I work with a certain PDF form created by the US government. They recently "upgraded" the form. (N600K)
With the old form, I would import values in an XML file, which worked fine.
With the new form, I have encountered a problem:
The checkboxes behave as if they are ALL one group of radio buttons, which means only one can be selected at a time.
There are quite a few questions with checkbox answers. If I or my xml file select any one if them, the rest get cleared.
I have contacted the US government about this, but surprisingly, they have not responded.
If you are familiar with designing PDF forms and think you might be able to understand my problem and help fix it, i would love to hear from you!
Please email me at gidon.ariel @ gmail.com

Tundra Steve, it sounds like that, that all the checkboxes behave like one
set of radio buttons. But they aren't. They are separate sets of
checkboxes, and while some sets could behave like radio buttons
(male/female, for example), they should really all behave like the
checkboxes that they are, and allow any and all to be selected.
Thanks and God Bless,

Problem with people opening my PDF Form

Hi,
I have people who can't open my Form PDF file - they get an error message. Some of them have version 5, 6 or 7 of Acrobat.
Any suggestions? I have enabled Usage Rights in Acrobat and Saved.

Hi,
you can inform your clients with a message when opening your form with an (too) old pdf reader version, to avoid problems with using the form.
put following script into the initialize event of the first page of your form!
if (typeof(app.viewerVersion) != "undefined")
if (app.viewerVersion < 8.0)
app.alert({cMsg:"ATTENTION:\rThis file requires Adobe Reader 8.0 or newer!",cTitle: "ATTENTION:", nIcon: 1, nType: 0} )

Problem with the Travel Expenses PDF Form

Hi Experts,
We are facing a strange issue in our production system that the Travel Expenses PDF form is coming as a blank pop up when users raise a Travel Expenses request or try to see the form in 'My trips and Expenses'.
The strange thing is that it is happning for only 3 users in Production system only.We have confirmed that it is not a Desktop issue. We did not come across this earlier while 3500 users are using it for 9 months now.
The same problem is not repeated in Dev, Qua or even in Production for any other user.
The SAP Security team has also confirmed that all relevent authorisations have been given to effected users like other users for whom the same is working
Kindly help me with the same if you have encountered the same problem or can suggest something that may rectify the problem.
Help will be appreciated << Please do not offer points >>

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for the reply.
We have checked that it is not a Desktop issue.
Also SAP Security team says that the effected users have been given the regular authorisations as given to other users using the same functionality.
As i mentioned it is not a problem with ADS as the same functionality is working fine for 3500 users for 9 months.

Problem with XML import MDM 7.1 SP2 u2013 XSD.exe Issue

We are upgrading MDM from 5.5 SP6 to 7.1 and currently we are in SP2 but will be upgrading to SP4 soon.
After upgrading to MDM 7.1 SP2, when we use the import Manager and try to import the XML file we got the following error message Can't open C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/XSD.exe.
My question is this error is only with MDM 7.1 SP2?. In few days we will be upgrading to SP4. In SP4, this issue is still there?. If Yes, How to resolve this problem?.
Anyone can send me the XSD.exe file ?

Hi Lamp,
According to the SAP Note: 1331426 - missing xsd.exe File, the error occurs due to missing xsd.exe file in the import manager executable.
This file doesn't come with the installation files and is part of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK (Software Development Kit) 2.0, which can be downloaded from the download center of the Micrsosoft website.
Steps:
1. The xsd.exe file has to be downloaded from the Microsoft site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx
2. The xsd.exe itself is only 76 KB in size, so you need to download only this single file instead of the whole 250(?) MB .NET SDK installation. Even if you download the .NET SDK, you don't have to install it. Just extract the .cab file (e.g. using WinZip), open it (again using WinZip), extract the file that starts with "xsd" to the Import Manager directory and rename it to "xsd.exe".
3. Execute it in the below path: C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 7.1\Import Manager
You need to do it for SP4 too.
I do have the file. Let me know where I should send it.
Thanks,
Priti

Problem with XML import MDM 7.1 - Can't generate Xml Schema

Hi All,
When I try to open an XML file using Import manager, I'm getting some errors, as detailed below. I mention that I'm using MDM 7.1.
The first error I received was the following:
"Can't open C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/XSD.exe". I copied the file xsd.exe in the Import Manager folder, as suggest here:
Re: Import Manager Error.
Afterwards, I received a new error:
"Can't generate Xml Schema for: C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/filename.xml"
If anyone has faced the same problem - and solved it -, could you please help me find the reason for this behaviour?
Regards,
Laura

Hi Laura,
The error message "Can't generate Xml Schema" might be related to DTD. the XML file has a directive for loading DTD.
MDM doesnot support DTDs.
Remove the DTD line and make sure there is only one root element in the XML file and try again.
Hope this helps,
Bes t Regards,
Silpa Chillakuru

Problems with XML import from FCP 7 to Premiere Pro CS6

Afternoon everyone.
I'm currently trying to import an FCP 7 project file that I want to now edit and tweak in Premiere Pro (have recently realised i've been using Premiere far more so would like to start making a full switch over).
I've gathered my original FCP project and exported via XML (Apple Interchange Format, Version 5) and imported it into a blank Premiere Pro project. However it gets to the import window, progresses fully to 100% and then throws this error message at me, and I can't seem to figure out why.
I've tried exporting an XML for the whole project, with all bins/sequences/clips etc. I've also tried individual sequences/bins, and none of them want to import.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks,
Adam

Okay, after trying both steps in the document above, the missing codecs/preview presets still aren't available when I go to File>New>Sequence. I guess that's the only way to check if they have installed correctly/activated correctly right? It says it's correctly activated though so not sure why it's doing this.
Are these presets also missing in the trial verison of the software?

Problem with JavaScript in my PDF Form buttons

I am trying to have my user click on a button in my form on my website and e-mail the form data to me.
I am using the following JavaScript with my form button:
this.mailForm(false, "[email protected]", "", "", "Subject", "Message Body");
Protected mode is off.
When I use the above statement (whether the 1st parameter is set to true or false), nothing happens – no email gets sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change from this.mailForm(...) to this.mailDoc(...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, it sends the blank form without the filled-in data due to low user privileges.
How can I send the form data with this.mailForm(...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm(...) rather than mailto:(...) because this.mailForm(...) supposedly allows me to e-mail the form without user interaction.)
-- Don

Thanks for responding. I have been using “Submit a form” in the Mouse up event. I had that operation do a mailto: and it worked, but required user interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I have successfully created an equivalent JavaScript including:
    var url = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=mySubject&body=MyMessage";
    this.submitForm(url, true);
The above sent the FDF file successfully, but again, it required user interaction.
Then I tried this JavaScript - as I mentioned in a previous post - after you said to use doc.submitForm():
    var url = "http://mydomain.com/submit_notice.php";
    doc.submitForm(url, false);
The above script seemed to do nothing (with no error message). Shouldn't it bring up the PHP file in the web browser?
I have that php file, submit_notice.php, created, but I have not written any PHP scripts to e-mail the FDF file. I have never written a PHP script to take the posted FDF data and email it, but I have used the PHP mail() function and posted variables.
As for what I want to happen on the client side after the submit takes place: I simply want the FDF file to go to an e-mail that I specify. Additionally, I need it to happen without any client interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I can expect that visitor to have Adobe reader, but no add-ons or protected mode requirement.
Please give me an example that emails the FDF file without any user interaction.
Thank you.

NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses

FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
Click to view larger image
The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
Click to view larger image
The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
Click to view larger image
The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.
This FAQ describes what types of PDF forms can/cannot be imported and what functionality is limited within the PDF once imported:

I followed this process to import my PDF form. The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral. The link works but the web page is confusing to customers. The message is:
An error has occurred.
The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer. I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.
How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page?

<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme

Problem with Consolas font in a form

I have problem with Consolas font in a form in latest Adobe Reader (v11.0.9)

Can somebody check PDF for errors or warnings?

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

Problem with XML on Linux

hi everybody,
I've a big problem with XML on Linux, in details I see my program stopping on Linux at the instruction
XMLReader xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl");
and it's strange because on Windows it runs and there aren't problems about permissions on files, does anyone knows what to do?
thanks in advance!
Stefano

What happens on that line? I'm assuming you get some kind of error or exception.
Make sure the JAR file for Crimson is in your classpath.

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)
