Publish XML Form to PDF

Hi all,
Do you know a way of publishing XML forms to PDF ?
Is it possible using XSL-FO transformation within the portal ? Has someone already done it ?
I can not find any information regarding this.
Thanks a lot
Nicolas

HI
the basics involve using
1>an XSLT filter already available
2>using an  custom dev oped xsl which brings the transformation and configuring the xsl in XSLT filter
3>keeping the xml doccuments in a repository in KM Content and configuring the xslt filter to point to the repository/doccument .
4>restarting the server.
u will find help if u navigate to KMconfiguration under system configuration and then
<b>Configuration
Content Management
  Repository Filters</b> 
Please do give points if this helps you atleast gives u a guideline

  • How can i convert the HTML information in XML form to a PDF?

    Hi does any body know how can i convert the content of an HTML field in a XML Form in a regular text to include in a PDF in a Java program?

    Hi ,
    On the tool bar you have an option "Browser" which is next to "HTML Editor" .
    You know that for using these elements wo have to map them with Data Schema.
    Step by step
    1. In data Model Under Data Schema Add a child and name it Read_More.
    2. In the left hand corner ,click on tab Type and from the drop down select "rid"
    3.Click on the "Browser" from the toolbar (as told earlier) and drag and drop it on the form.
    4. Drag the Data schema which u have made(Read_more) and drop it on the browser on form. On right hand side u will se the mapping done.
    5.Click on the "Browser" which is there in the form and on the right hand side of the form u will see the property window.
    6.In property window change the value of action property to "Item Entry point"
    7. Repeat step 3 and 4 in Render and show form but using "label" nad not browser.
    Do not forget to add Save button in Edit Form.
    This will solve your problem.
    PS:Rewards Point Please.

  • How to reduce a PDF document that contains an Adobe XML form?

    Hi,
    I have created some fillable PDF files using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and used Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to save it as Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save)…
    The form includes image, text field, check box, radio button, table and other controls, as well as java scripts behind. The files are from 1 to 3 MB in size. I tried Reduced Size PDF and Optimized PDF, but I got a message: “This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.”
    My questions are:
    Is there a way I can reduce the file greatly, say about 100 KB?
    And after the size reduced,  does it still keep the original quality in format and function?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    if you only use default fonts like Arial or Myriad don't embed fonts into the form at all.
    If you have to use a specific font because of corporate identity you should check if there are fields in your fom using other fonts like Arial.
    Especially floating fields are a reason for big files as they use Designers default font even if you'll never see it in the PDF.
    When using images, you should not check the "embed" checkbox, as this will save the images a base64-stream into the xml-source.
    If unchecked the images are stored as hex-stream in the PDF-stream which cause a smaller file size.
    Also, don't use high res images, 150dpi are far enough. You also don't need 16Bit depth as Designer only supports 8Bit images with RGB colors.

    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

      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;

  • Create form elements directly in InDesign and publish them directly to PDF forms.

    It would be great to add form elements directly in InDesign (e.g. on a specific layer) and when publishing the document to PDF automatically exporting them.
    Now the work flow for adding one new field in am existing PDF form is quite complicated:
    Edit the InDesign document (layout and text) in InDesing -> publish the PDF out of InDesign -> add the existing form fields (copy from existing form into new) -> move the fields to the right place (acrobat does not support paste in place!) -> add the new field (name it, place it, etc.) -> save the PDF.
    For our company handling many different forms, with a lot of changes, this process is very error-prone.
    Enabling this process in one application would help a lot. We are currently using CS3. The feature overview of CS4 does not seem to implement this.
    Anyone else suffering here?
    Best regards,
    Michael

    Just incase you don't Adobe make a Windows only app Lifecycle which is a full blown form design app. Real layout tools, real calculation tools, vastly better than Acrobat which is too tedious for forms. If you company does lots of forms I'ld give it a look.
    They have no intention to bring to Mac I gather, as Mac is a designers only domain according to one Adobe Evangelist I spoke to.

  • How to Get XML from the PDF form generated using Designer that is stored in LC

    We have a Requirement of Generating reports on what a PDF form is comprised of? It is easy for us to scan / parse the XML format of the PDF form and get all the relavent Info we need. We are able to see the XML format of the PDF form when we open up the Form in Designer.
    But we are trying to run this report in a Batch Mode for many PDF files. I need to know how to get a XML format of the PDF file that is stored in LC that was developed using Designer. Once we are able to get the XML of the PDF form it is just a scan / parse to get the relavent data.
    Can some one tell me how to get the XML format of a PDF file stored in the LC?

    If I place the PDF form on the LC server - Can you let  me know of the tools you are referring to get XML design from the PDF form?
    Is it through a Process Orchestration I need to run the PDF through to get a XML design out of it?
    I am fine in storing the PDF in the LC server? How will I get the XML design (XML) from this PDF on the server?

  • Converting an Acrobat 8  (Static) PDF form to an Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form

    We have a PDF file that started in MS Word 2007. The form was then saved as an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form. Is there a way to save this form to a dynamic XML form so all users can utilize the text boxes and drop down menus? At this time, only Acrobat Pro users have the ability.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    If the form has dynamic fields added to it then even users using the free Adobe Reader will be able to fill in the form. However, if it is save-off-line that you are looking for then you will need to extend the form using Reader Extensions.
    Can you be more specific about your requirements?

  • Creating multiple PDFs from an xml form

    Hello--
    I am a LiveCycle Designer beginner, so please bear with me.
    I'm hoping to automate the creation of multiple PDFs from within a LiveCycle XML form I created.  We have a database with vendor contact information. Each vendor could have multiple records within our database (currently they range from 2-60). We currently send to a pointperson at each vendor an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the records associated with that vendor. That person then modifies, adds and deletes the records in that spreadsheet. We then input those updates into our database.  
    We recognize that this is an antiquated form of contact management, and want to improve. Of course, the challenge is that we do not have our own server to use, and we are not able to use any third party service that costs anything. Since we already have LiveCycle Designer, I'm hoping XML forms can make things easier for our administrators. I really hope there is a scriptable solution for this. 
    Here is what I've done (much of it to learn how LiveCycle Designer works).
    I created an XDP with all the appropriate fields. 
    I also created separate XML files for each vendor.
    I was able to create individual PDFs when I associate the vendor-specific XML file to the XDP using the Locate Data File field in the Defaults tab of the Form Properties.
    While this works, I essentially have just done the same amount of work as our current solution. Nonetheless, since LiveCycle is scriptable, I'm hoping that I can automate a number of these tasks. Is it possible to automate from within Designer, the creation of multiple PDFs—one for each vendor—using the same XDP form?  Do I need to make the XDP form a TDS file? Is this even the right approach? Is there a way to connect to the database and filter out by vendor the information I need? 
    I apologize if this is all over the place. Any and all advice would be most appreciated!!!

    The Split command also allows you to do this with a few more options like contol of the file naming and number of pages. Here is a quick tip on how to do this if you're interested.

  • Why does my Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf)  submit as data.xml

    Hi, I have created a form and saved it as Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf)  the form used to submit perfectly via email but today it keeps attaching  to the email as in a data.xml format.  What would cause this and how do I fix it.
    P.S. I am a novice with Livecycle

    Check the properties on your submit button.  That is where you define the submission format.

  • XML Forms Time-based publishing

    Hi,
    I'm testing an XML form that uses Time-based publishing but it isn't working correctly. The fields in the Edit form that correspond to Valid to / from are working. When I input the timestamps, they show up in the properties. I have also activated the Time Based Publishing service for this folder (it is in the documents repository). I have created two forms, one that should be published and one that shouldn't. When I test the iview with my administrative user, both appear (this is the expected behavior)
    When I log in with a user who only has Read permissions on that folder, I can't see any content. I've tried different combinations of dates for the elements but nothing seems to be getting through. I've also waited for the 15 minutes that the guide establishes for the content to appear but nothing shows up. What could be the problem?
    Thanks for your help,
    Luis

    hi
    There are Valid to & Valid from properties in the data model section of the XML Forms Builder. Would imagine you could play around with these as a starting point.
    when creating the XML Form, you can drag and drop the KM Properties "Valid From" and "Valid Until" from the left pane "Data Model" -> "Properties" -> "Lifetime" on your form. activate the tbp (time-based publishing) service on the used repository and also to "Enable Time-Dependent Publishing" on every folder where you want to use the forms (from the folder menu "Details" -> "Settings" -> "Lifetime".pèleas also go through this

  • XML Form Builder User-based Publishing

    Hi Gurus,
    My question is like  time-based publishing (Valid from/until properties), can i do user-based publishing? Think that there are announcements in the same directory, \documents\news, i want just a responsible user or groups CAN read these news. Or it can be in different directories, but i don't want to create more than 100 xml forms in the same format. How can do this? Is Collobaration room property helpful for my aim? if so, how can i do it?

    Hi,
    If you need to use xml form to publish news and you want to have only one folder in where the news are created, you could do:
    1. In your repository for instance: documents you create a folder where the authors create the news.
       \documents\news
       The authors will have read/write permissions.
       The consumers or end users only read.
    2. You create a metadata called status with theses values:   publish, archive, in progress for instance.
    3. Using form builder, in your form you add this status metadata.
    4. Create and index (index and classification) and taxonomies using the values of status metatada.
        you will have a directorie with this structure:
        taxonomie>name of index>name of taxonomy>publish
        taxonomie>name of index>name of taxonomy>in progress
        taxonomie>name of index>name of taxonomy>archive
    5. You have to create two km navigation iviews, one to point
    documents\news and the other one to taxonomy created by you.
    The first iview you give (workset) to authors group and the second to consumers or end users group.
    The idea is simple but not automatically, the author create a new news and then using status metadata choose some value (publish so on), and then the consumers
    read this news.
    Patricio.
