Renaming a pdf document using fields in the form

Hello!
I have a form with a button that allows the user to send it by e-mail.  I would like the attached pdf file in the e-mail to be named after fields that have been entered by the user (like the person's name, employee number).  Is this possible to do using LiveCycle Designer (ES 2), if it's the case, how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Dave

So are you saying there is no way that my form can be named automatically (without the user having to rename it) after data in the form?
I don't know much about script editing.  Where would I write this code, right at the end of my submit button code?
Thank you very much!

  • Image not displayed in pdf generated using Java API for Forms service

    Hi,
    I am creating a pdf document using Java API for Forms Service.
    I am able to generate the pdf but the images are not visible in the generated pdf.
    The image relative path is coming in the xml as defined below. The images are stored dynamically in the Livecycle repository each time a request is fired with unique name before the xml is generated.
    <imageURI xfa:contentType="image/png" href="../Images/logo.png"></imageURI>
    Not sure if I need to specify specify specific URI values that are required to render a form with image.
    The same thing is working when I generate pdf document using Java API for Output Service.
    As, I need to generate interactive form, I have to use Forms service to generate pdfs.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Below is the code snippet:
                //Create a FormsServiceClient object
                FormsServiceClient formsClient = new FormsServiceClient(myFactory);
                //Specify URI values that are required to render a form
                URLSpec uriValues = new URLSpec();
                                  // Template location contains the whole rpository path for the form
                uriValues.setContentRootURI(templateLocation);
               // The base URL where form resources such as images and scripts are located.  Whole Image path is passed in BaseUrl in the http format.
                      String baseLocation = repositoryPath.concat(serviceName).concat(imagesPath);   
                                  uriValues.setBaseURL(baseLocation);                                        
                // Set run-time options using a PDFFormRenderSpec instance
                PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec = new PDFFormRenderSpec();
                pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(true));           
                pdfFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.client.AcrobatVersio n.Acrobat_8);
                                  //Invoke the renderPDFForm method and write the
                //results to a client web browser
                String tempTemplateName =templateName;
                FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(tempTemplateName,
                                              inXMDataTransformed,pdfFormRenderSpec,uriValues,null);
                //Create a Document object that stores form data
                Document outputDocument = formOut.getOutputContent();
                InputStream inputStream = outputDocument.getInputStream();

  • Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

    Hi
    I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
    I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
    Question:
    Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
    I'm using Windows.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Emil

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.
    I tried both ways and neither works.  It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
    Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer.  If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
    and...
    should I be getting a prompt box on every page?  I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

    Hi...
    Quit your browsers.
    Open the Finder.
    From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Typs this exactly as you see it here:    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Relaunch either Firefox or Safarai and try downloading a PDF document.

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • Annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser

    Is it possible to annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser?

    Sorry I do not have answers, and do not know details of the Mac/Adobe plugins problems.
    Conspiracy theorists may wonder whether Adobe is constantly reviewing cost/benefit of supporting various OS s & Browsers.
    One may note
    * Flash Ubuntu development has effectively ceased, with all support ceasing in a few years http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html
    * Firefox on Windows Flash11.3 et seq has had many problems, I certainly have not noticed Adobe rolling out rapid and successful fixes for those problems
    * and Android support was dropped http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html

    hello prgc37, you original problem was likely caused by a fault extension that you have installed. can you try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...
    otherwise such connection issues are also often caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • How to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp ' vb

    Dear All
    how to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp in visual basic and absolute position on the document.
    Thanks

     Here is one more example that i have modified the GetCell function so that you can use it for adding all the cells to the document.  It takes several arguments to specify everything you need to create each cell.  It now lets
    you specify the Text, the Text Alignment, the Text Font and color, weather the cell shows the Border, the BackColor of the cell, and the Padding values for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.
     If you study the code you should be able to figure out how it works.  From here you can figure out the rest of what you need to do and how to use the
    GetCell function.

  • While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

    I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
    Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
    Thanks for your support in advance.
    Mukesh

    @Mukeshnnms
    Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
    I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
    "Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
    So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...
    <Note to self: WAIT even longer than usual to do updates, read about bugs first.>

    Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.

  • Creation of PDF Document  using ADF Table data in new window

    In the TF do like this..
    view activity A-------dialog:invokePdf------->view activity B (invokePdf)
    Fragment A command button would be
    <af:commandButton action="#{pageFlowScope.PdfBean.openPDF}"
    text="Generate" id="cbpdf"
    useWindow="true"
    windowWidth="700" windowHeight="700"/>
    in the action add a return like return "dialog:invokePdf";
    Control flow outcome is "dialog:invokePdf". B would be just a empty fragment.

  • Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

    I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago.  The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version.  I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version).  When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file.  All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below).  After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort.  This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer.  After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel.  Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program.  I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem.  I have no idea where to go from here.  All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot!  Please help!!

    You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • Printing a PDF document using Java 1.4 Printing API

    Hi,
    When I tried to print a PDF document using JAVA 1.4 Printing API, I got the following exception.

    at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
    at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
    I am able to print the same PDF document using Acrobat reader.
    Is PDF format not supported in JAVA 1.4 printing API? or is something wrong in my code?
    here is the sample JAVA program that I was using
    import javax.print.*;
    import javax.print.attribute.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Printing {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
    job.print(doc, pras);
