Export fillable pdf to xml in vb with proper xml tag name

Hi All,
I have a following code in vb which is used to convert pdf to xml.
        Dim AcroXApp As Acrobat.AcroApp
        Dim AcroXAVDoc As Acrobat.AcroAVDoc
        Dim AcroXPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim Filename As String
        Filename = "D:test.pdf"
        AcroXApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        AcroXApp.Show()
        AcroXAVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
        AcroXAVDoc.Open(Filename, "Acrobat")
        AcroXPDDoc = AcroXAVDoc.GetPDDoc
        Dim jsObj As Object
        jsObj = AcroXPDDoc.GetJSObject
        jsObj.SaveAs("\Test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00")
        AcroXAVDoc.Close(False)
        AcroXApp.Hide()
        AcroXApp.Exit()
The above is converting pdf to xml.But what i want is from pdf to i want to get proper tag named xml ( like in adobe acrobat pro Tools-->Forms-->More Form options-->Export File to-->xml ). i have designed my pdf in adobe livecycle designer 7.1. Thanks in advance.

Exporting pdf to xml

We want to export pdf data into xml format (the same way as "Export Data" functionality in Adobe Reader). We have a huge set of pdf files to export (approx 20K). We got to know that we can achieve this using Acrobat 9 Professional software. Please suggest whether this is the right approach. Is it possible to achieve the same functionality through some batch program. Your quick reponse will be appreciated, since we require this information ASAP for one data migration activity.

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for your reply. Can you please elaborate it more as to how I can sent up batch sequence, what javascript code is required for this purpose and what pre-requisite softwares are required to achieve the same.
I read somewhere that using Acrobat 9 Pro OOTB functionality, we can convert pdf form data into xml. We have about 20K pdf files currently that needs to be converted to xml. This is just a beginning and we expect more data in pdf files to be convrted to xml in future. We want to evaluate as to whether we can use Acrobat 9 Pro for this purpose,and how we can set this up as a batch sequence so that no manual intevention is required.
Thanks

Anyone using PDDocExportUserProperties for exporting PDF to XML

Hi,
Anyone using PDDocExportUserProperties for exporting PDF to XML. I am using Adobe PDFL 9.0 to do the same. However, do not find any sample programs or tutorials.
Please anyone have any samples, do provide.

Where did you find this method? It's not listed in the PDFL API Reference for 8.1 or 9.

Soft returns, xml export

If I want to export text, including soft returns, to xml I get the error that some kind of characters are not recognized.
Is there a way to export soft returns correctly to xml ?
I already posted a similar question, but maybe I was not clear anough, so please accept my appologizes.
Kind Regards,
Droom

Hi Droom,
are you sure that it is this forced line break character that causes the error message?
There are indeed some characters that can not be exported by InDesign's XML export, but as far as I know there are no problems with the forced line break.
Maybe you are using another char like an AutoPageNumber char (0x0018), a SectionMarker char (0x0019) or a right indent tab char(0x0008). These characters can not be exported.
Generally every character that has a hex value lower that 0x0020 (except 0x0009, 0x000A and 0x000D) can not be im- or exported by XML.
Try to create a new document with only one frame, insert a single forced line break and export it. If it works you have to look for another character that causes the problem. If it doesn't work I am mistaken.
Form more info see my approach to import a right indent tab ( http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6dbd5/2 ).
For some information about InDesign characters see: http://www.absatzsetzer.de/downloads/Zeichen.pdf (it is in German, but the table is understandable, I think)

Any help on writing code for XML export?

Hello,
The Adobe Acrobat 6.0 allows us to Export/SaveAs PDF to XML 1.0. Currently we have developed an application which reads PDF files and emits some XML. However this XML has a very basic schema and we need to add more structure to it. Like one examples is of recognizing tables from PDF document. Logical information of tables are not there in PDF files as such, and tables in PDF document are merely stored as collection of horizontal and vertical lines. Acrobat 6.0 recognizes tables and lists somehow. I need to recognize them too. So is there any reference or some algorithms which tell us how to extract this logical information from a PDF? Any
clues? Any type of guidance is appreciated.
Regards,
Atiq

You're posting to the wrong forum. This one is about XMP metadata, not about Acrobat or general XML. You should repost on an Acrobat forum.

Print PDF Report(XML) in Dot matrix Printer in Oracle E-Biz R12

Is it possible to print a PDF Report (xml report) in Dot Matrix Printer in Oracle E-Biz R12 assuming the Dot Matrix Printer supports Post Script.
If so , what configuration needs to be performed from Oracle E-Biz?

Crystal Report 2008 SP2 & InfoView: Custom XML Export doesnt work

Hi,
I have created a Crystal Report .rpt and want to use the custom xml export function to output a custom xml file. For that, I created a custom transformation file (xsl) and imported it into the .rpt . On the client machine, if I open the .rpt with Crystal Reports 2008 SP2, and select to export it using the custom xml output, all runs fine. (under SP1, only half the file was created...)
If I upload the .rpt file to Infoview (server-side: BO Enterprise 3.1, SP2 as well) and schedule it, I can select xml, and then my custom xml as output format, but I am getting the error message u201EUngültige Exportoptionen" (="invalid export options"), in the instance history. No output file is created. I use file system as destination. Other output formats like .pdf and .rpt work fine and files are created.
Ideas:
-Are there any more settings needed on the server (e.g.CMC - Crystal Server Jobs, other Processes, ...) so I can schedule the report and successfully create the custom xml format file as output?
-Do I need to upgrade to a specific SP or FP on server-side so everything runs smooth?
Thanks for your help!

Post processing PDF to XML.

Topic
Post-processing PDF into XML.
Compton MacKenzie - 08:48am Oct 29, 2008 Pacific
Hi,
Sorry for the basic question... We want to have users fill out a fillable PDF form using Aacrobat Reader and then upload it to a web page. Once we get the PDF, we need to extract the data that they have entered. Short of using LiveCycle Data Services (not currently feasible as we have no Java presence on our server platform), is there any API that I can use to extract the data or convert the PDF to XML. I understand that it is possible to export XML using the Acrobat client (and it might be possible to script this with COM) but I don't think this would work reliably in a server environment.
(We need both the PDF and the data as the PDF will contain an electronically captured image of a customer's signature and need to preserve the actual image of the document.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

There are server based products under the LiveCycle banner for this but they all run on a Java based app server. You can use a turn key install where the app server (JBoss) and a Database (MySql) are provided for you but you need to have the Java SDK present. The LiveCycle servers can run on Windows, Linux, AIX to name a few.
Note that if you script Acrobat to do this on the server you are in violation of your license agreement.

Creating PDF from XML directly in a content management system?

Hi!
This is my first post here and I've tried to find any previous posts that could answer my question but to no avail. Also I think and hope this is the correct sub forum to post it in.
I work at a company that produces a product catalogue that is published as a webpage, a PDF document (used as the basis for a tablet app) and a printed catalogue from a PDF. For the PDF (used in the tablet app and the printed catalogue) we are using a CMS based on XML that produces Adobe FrameMaker documents which we then export the PDF from. We are looking in to updating the system and make it flow much better but are a bit uncertain of what the best way to go would be.
A solution I'm thinking of would be to have the content of the product catalogue in some kind of XML based service that can export the information in XML. This would hopefully make it possible to send the documents either directly to PDF by XML and some style sheets or import the XML into some InDesign templates (for the more complicated designs at intro pages etc).
One important aspect of the product catalogue is that we have all information saved in different languages so there has to be some kind of connection between the templates and different language versions -- ie. the page design but different language text flows for each language edition.
What I wonder is. What kind of services/solutions would there be that handles XML to PDF for a quite complicated product catalogue (ie. the different language versions)?
Thanks in advance!

The difference between the two packages is that PatternStream effectively works on a "pull" principle (the content is retrieved into the template(s) by queries at the appropriate locations), while Miramo is a "push" (the tagged content is processed by Miramo using templates to create the DTP files). SInce Miramo allows programatical processing before the content is pushed into the DTP app, you can do all sorts of manipulations, conditional processing, automatically insert markers and variables, etc. so it allows for a fairly complex layout, even with FrameMaker. It also allows api's and scripts to be triggered at the backend when the publication has been assembled for further processing/manipulation.
Is there any particular reason that you want to move from the FM engine to the ID one? In terms of throughpu,t FM streams run very much faster than ID ones. Also, unless the layouts are extremely complex, in an automated environment, there are very few catalogue layouts that I've seen that couldn't also be handled using a FM workflow.
Are there any samples on line of the types of catalogues that you are currently producing? This would help in assessing which tools and workflows might be more appropriate to your situation.

Problem with Xml exporter

Hi All,
Thanks in advance for ur warm replies.
I am exporting personalizations which i did but iam facing problems with this.
Please help me on this issue.
Steps i follwed.
Step1: exec jdr_utils.listcustomizations('/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui/EGOITEMATTRIBUTEPGL');
It displays me the customizations which i did as follows
/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui/customizations/responsibility/24091/EGOITEMATTRIBUTEPGL
Pl/sql procedure completed successfully.
Step2: Iam now at command prompt on java_top and i run the following command
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.exporter.XMLExporter
/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui/customizations/responsibility/24091/EGOITEMATTRIBUTEPGL
-username apps -password <mypwd> \

-rootdir "/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui/EGOITEMATTRIBUTEPGL'"
* I don't know exactly what is root directory here. which path i need to provide here.*
Error: No such file or directory.
Thanks and Regards
Zaheer

Zaheer,
<output_dir> - (Required) Output directory where the exported xml file structure is to be stored. You may set this to any directory, however, we recommend that you export your packages or XML files to $APPL_TOP/personalizations.
If you run the export tool for the package
/oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUSPAGE and specify -rootdir
$APPL_TOP/personalizations, the xml file is saved as
$APPL_TOP/personalizations/oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUS PAGE.xml.
In your case define rootdir as rootdir "/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui ".
Thanks

Forum XML Export failure - user not found

Hi,
first, I know the export/import functionality is disabled by default in the jive forum version of SAP.
But they don't provide any other mechanism to export forum content, so we have to use it.
We want to export our forum content with the XML Export function.
When I want to export the whole content, the error log shows following:

But when I export the forums seperatly there are only a few which throws this exception.
I looked up the usernames from the user who posted in this forums in the table JIVEUSER in the database. But they are all stored in it.
Can I look up somewhere the username, that isn't found?
Neither in the error log nor in the debug log I have found it.
Best Regards,

The error is caused to an authentication failure and is not an issue with authorization
You need to look at your authentications policy (Policy->Authentications) and see which identity store was authenticated against
In addition can do the Live Authentications page (Monitor->Authentications) and for the failing record click on the icon under details. This will give you the full details of the requets processing and you can see which rule was matched in the identity policy (Identity Policy Matched Rule) and "Selected Identity Stores".
