Reader, fillin forms, partly empty

We have fill in forms that users have filled out and saved. When they open the file again, it shows part of the filled in information but not everything. If they click in a field it will show the rest of the document.

I don't know which program they were developed in. Let me give you additional info. Most of the fields are currency or numeric fields. There are a couple of text fields. They one line fields that will allow the user to write beyond the field but then adjusts the font size so the whole text fits within the field.

Reading the form as XML, using WDJ

Hello.
I'm using WD for Java and ZCI layout.
I've seen this thread-
Re: Data in dynamic table not pass to webdynpro java
about getting data from tables in the form by reading the form's XML data.
I tried to search for a method to get the XML in IWDInteractiveForm, and other classes, but I didn't find anything.
So how can I get the form's XML when the user clicks Submit?
Best regards,
Arik.

Hi Kathy
After loading a form over XML, we made the experince that in matrices link buttons will not appear everwehere they should. It's a tricky part and we made a work around by changing the columns order and then...the Link Buttons came up ok.

Personalized reader enabled forms

HI, Here is my use case:
1) Visitor completes an HTML form on website
2) Info is stored in local db, some transformations are done etc
3) Some info is then populated into fields of a PDF reader enabled form
4) pdf saved and emailed to visitor
5) Visitor enters additional information into the form saves it and and sends to a company rep
6) Company rep enters additional info in form, saves it and sends back to visitor
7) repeat 5 and 6 as neccessary.
8) Form is printed
Where I am at implementing this
1) I have Acrobat X and have created "reader enabled" form
2) Using 3rd party tool (ABCpdf) I am able to populate pdf form fields via webserver script
3) PDF is emailed to visitor
4) Visitor is unable to enter data because form is no longer "read enabled"
This is were things fall apart. As soon as the 3rd party tool touches the PDF it is no longer a "reader enabled" form. This is true even if all the 3rd party tool does is "open" and "save" with absolutly not other operations performed on PDF, the simple act of opening and saving disables the "read enabled". I have spoken with the vendor of the 3rd party tool and says that there is nothing they can do about this. I have experimented with other tool vendors and the same seems to be true.
Questions:
1) If instead of ABCpdf I used the Acrobat SDK would I be able to programmically populate my form while having it remain "reader enabled" ?
2) If I installed Acrobat on my web server and used the Core API would that work?
3) Is this what LiveCycle is for?
4) Looking at the the LiveCycle portion of the Adobe website and it looks like there are many different products. Which is the minimum product for this use case?
5) Is there a way to use LiveCycle that doesn't involve having the PDF submit the data to the back end directly? I really do just want the info saved in a PDF.
6) Since I have no need of digital signatures or some of the other features I have read about with LiveCycle, should I just drop PDF from this use case and use web forms instead? (I would be done by now if I had started with this option).
Much thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.

Thanks Bernd, I will look into LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
This is supposed to be a short term solution to help smooth workflow while a full web portal is being developed. The web portal will provide access for customers, sales, partners, etc. and emailing pdf's around won't be part of it.   So this solution is supposed to be for the next siz months so I would rater not spend more then a day or two on it and I have already burned a day
"transforming form data (FDF, XFDF, XML), which works much better with Reader, "
Can you tell me more about this?   Is this like shooting an XML file at a PDF for presentation?
Thanks

After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my projects are completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my projects (photobooks) are completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

Define "everything" because if you've tried everything then your last recourse is:
1 - restore your backup copy of your iPhoto Library created just prior to your Yosemite upgrade or
2 - Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Form Parts

Hello everyone,
I need to know a way on how to create PDF documents by just dragging and dropping custom controls components (like user information, custom paragraphs, pictures, etc.) from a custom built application (flex, silverlight, wpf...) andl render the desired PDF form based on the elements dragged. So far on other posts I haven't get any answer on how to solve this problem.
I heard there is something called "Form Parts" but I can't find information about it.
We currently generate PDF forms using PDF templates along with XML data files from a .Net application but we need to have a customized PDF designer.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

To turn javascript on in Safari, go the the Safari menu and select Preferences and then go to Security. Check the javascript box.
What Rick mentioned is correct, web designers sometimes do restrict their work to Windows. It is because they're lazy, but the extra work is due to Microsoft's arrogance in following standards. My favorite example is PNG, which is a great graphics format with alpha transparency. But Microsoft never implemented it with alpha transparency on Windows (they did on Mac!), so a web designer has two choices: go with the cheesier GIF, or detect which browser you're using. Now what do you think most designers do?
The only way I know of to dectect browsers and change code accordingly on the client side is to use a scripting language and the most ubiquitous one is javascript. So because of Microsoft's policies, most designers need to use javascript to check if you're using IE on Windows. Check out my web site http://www.philsmith.com/caravan/ on a Mac and on Windows to see what I'm talking about. There's javascript to tell what browser you have, and the graphics and music are implemented differently in either case. Without javascript, I couldn't make this happen.
So your choices as a designer are to use javascript or go with one platform. And you can guess which platform most are going to choose.

Custom Formatting of a ADF Read-Only Form

From what I've worked with so far, the ADF read-only form will only allow you to pick the number of "rows" and "columns" to format data. Columns titles are aligned to the left and column values aligned to the right.
But the specs I've been given are for a highly customized layout, with column titles above the column values, and with some rows containing only two columns of data and some rows requiring up to ten columns of data.
How can I adjust the format of ADF components, like read-only forms, to customize the layout?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice Shay.
What I need to do is take one view object's data (20 columns) and spread them out, in HTML terms, into multiple tables to provide various TR/TD formats on a single screen.
Are you saying it is possible to layout a single view object's columns into different layout panels to mimic multiple HTML table formats?
Thanks again.

How to get the value of a parameter/field in a ADF Read-Only Form

Hi,
My requirement is as follows. Could anyone shed some light on this issue.
I am showing the records from db table using ADF Read-Only Form ( which uses ViewObject created for the table). Now I want to capture(get) the value of a field in this form and then have to invoke an action based on the value in this field. I mean to say the next page depends the value of a field in this form.
Please suggest how can I achieve this functionality?
Thanks in advance.
~Sivaji

That's indeed what Sivaji needs.
In the page definition you can add a value to the parameters of a certain method. Like RJundi mentioned, point to the attribute of the current row.
Example:
The value of the read only textfield will be something like this:
#{bindings.EmployeeName.inputValue}points to an attribute value in the pageDef of the page:
    <attributeValues id="EmployeeName" IterBinding="AllEmployees">
      <AttrNames>
        <Item Value="EmployeeName"/>
      </AttrNames>
    </attributeValues>The attribute value has also an iterator binding defined in the page def:
    <iterator id="AllEmployees" RangeSize="10"
              Binds="AllEmployees" DataControl="MyService"/>If you want to 'pass' the attribute of the current row to the service, you can create a methodaction (eg: public void printEmpName(String name)) in the page def or you can drop the method from the datacontrol on to the page. After dropping the method, a screen will appear asking to fill in a value for the parameter ('name' in this example). Fill in '#{bindings.EmployeeName.inputValue}' if you want to pass the EmployeeName of the current row.
Hope it helps,

How to get the key values of record in ADF Read-only Form?

Hi
I am using ADF Business Component VO.
I have a search page( ADF Search Form) and I am displaying the results of the search in a ADF Read-Only Table( only few columns are shown) .Then by selecting a record and clicking on the button 'View' , I am navigating to a different page(ADF Read-Only Form) to show all the columns of the table for the selected record.
In the second page, I have one more button 'view child details'.Now when I click on this view child details button, I have to show another page(ADF Read-Only Form) which fetches the data from one of the child tables of parent record.
My idea is to create a ViewLink between the parent and child tables.( I have more than 15 child tables for a parent table).
Is there anyother way to achieve this functionality?
Please respond ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
~Sivaji..

Sivaji...the boss

Sijav,
ASAP?
Anyway - yes, you can do this with a view link. When you add the child table to the application model, make sure you actually add it as a child of the parent table instance (select the parent VO first, then use the shuttle to add it). This way, the parent->child relationship should be coordinated for you automatically. You should not need to get the key values manually.
Then, when you create the page to show the detail table, make sure you use the child table that is shown as a child of the parent table in the data control palette (expand parent table to see the child).
Hope this helps,
John

Reader Enabled Forms with Acrobat 8.0

Hi,
I am considering upgrading from 7Pro to 8Pro and need to confirm some aspects of the new features for applying reader rights to forms. I have a number of forms generated in Lifecycle Designer 7.1, where the user is using the Reader version to email the XML data.
If I reader enable these forms with Acrobat 8 Pro, will the User be able to still email the XML data and also save the completed form locally? In addition will it be possible to inport and export XML data into & out of Reader Enabled forms?
In addition do you know what the story is with "500 users of the forms"? Is is 500 per form over the lifetime of the form? Some of my forms are distributed to different Clients and I am not sure how this will work
Any help/guidance gratefully appreciated ;-)
Thanks, Niall

It should, yes. Can't confirm 100% as I haven't tried.

Read PDF form from email attachment

Hope someone is able to help on this one...
We are using a pdf form at work to gather some feedback and the user will be submitting the form via email...
Using outlook 2003 I had a crack at writing a vba module to read the pdf form from the email attachment to update into an excel spreadsheet
Is it possible to read pdf forms from the email attachment with outlook vba? Or does the attachment need to be saved to a directory first?
I have in the past done a vba module to save the pdf form attachments to a directory and then using acrobat and it's in-built form data collection tool and exported as a csv, but this feedback form will be an ongoing thing that will be updated daily - and to minimise handling would like to run the outllook macro that reads straight from the email attachment instead of doing another 3 or so steps...

Problem in reading the form parameter.

Hi All,
I have made a HTML with Following Tag
<form name="uploadForm" action="upload.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
as i made the enctype="multipart/form-data" i am not able to read the Form parameter that i got in the File tag of the HTML page.
Task is to :
Upload 4 images from the HTML page and the uploading Code is present in the JSP that has to read the File name and Upload the Images.
While making request.getParameter("File1");
Dosen't work here.
can Any one provide the Solution for that.
regards

Hello Ankur,
If you make a 'where used list' on this function, you will see that this parameter is never used in the standard. You will always see something like :
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_SCHEDLIN_CONVERT_TZTF_IO'
EXPORTING
IV_FROM_TIME     = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-FROM_TIME
IV_FROM_TIMEZONE = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-FROM_TIMEZONE
IV_TO_TIME       = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-TO_TIME
IV_TO_TIMEZONE   = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-TO_TIMEZONE
IMPORTING
EV_FROM_IO       = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-FROM_TIME_IO
EV_TO_IO         = LS_SCHEDLIN_WRK-TO_TIME_IO.
So I think you can do the same.
Regards,
Frédéric
