Save as using input data of a form

Hi,
I know that it's possible to write javascript which runs after pressing 'save' in a PDF.
So I wonder if the following would be also possible for an existing pdf file which contains forms (Name, Address,...):
- fill out forms
- press save
- acrobat saves file to e.g. c:\form[Name].pdf
form[name] would be the Name filled in the form
e.g.:
PDF FORM
Name: Barack Obama
Address: ....
SAVE PDF TO
c:\Barack Obama.pdf
So would this be possible? And if YES, how?

Have a look at this tutorial (especially the last part): http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

Where can i save the use's data of external application?

where can i save the use's data of external application?and whether will it accumulate to some synchronic problem?
The way i am doing by is to save the information in providersession by initSession() of ProviderInstance,then to get the information back by using session.getAttribute(),which is in jsp. is it right?and what problem will be caused?
so i want to know what is the standard method to use the information in external application to page.

Hi Alf,
Please have a look at the POINT portlets. most of them are based on external apps. That could give you a fair enough idea of how to go about with your designs.

Input data in adobe form not geting saved to desktop

Dear All,
I have adobe form incorporated in a wed dynpro component. It's an interactive form and user has option to fill in details in the form. There is a submit button which user can click in order to submit details. This submit in turn does posting. Method is written in wed dynpro view for validation and posting.
My problem starts here, when user has clicked on submit and posted, posting happens and finally the data is present in adobe form with the new PR no crated. When i try to save this form in my desktop it saves a blank form and not the data which is present in it. However if i don't click on submit and save the pdf with the manually entered values it save properly with the data.
Please help in getting to bottom of this issue. One point, i have no idea about adobe forms, so pleae let me know for some obvious case as well.
Thanking everybody in advanc.
Regards,
Saud

Thanks for your reply.
1. I tried finding similar questions but was not able to do so.
2. Yesterday itself i found out that it's working fine for some users but not for others. So i am just wondering whether it's a problem related to version of softwares like Adobe or IE?
I have IE7 and Adobe Reader 9.4
Please give some inputs, friends.

Simple calculation using input data

Hello,
I know this has to be simple for most people in this forum but I have been trying to figure this out for many hours.
Here's what I am trying to do:
I created a numeric field that a user enters a number. I want this number to be multiplied by .475 and to appear in the same field.
In other words how do I use the inputed data for a calculation in the same field?
Thank you.

Hi Howard,
Try writing a script on the exit event of the numeric field. For example:
1. Select the numeric field.
2. In the Script Editor, select the exit event from the Show list. If the script editor is not opened, go to the Window menu and select Script Editor.
3. Type the following FormCalc script:
$ = 0.475 * $
Where $ is the value of the current field. If you prefer working in JavaScript, change the Language type to JavaScript and type the following script instead.
this.rawValue = 0.475 * this.rawValue;
4. Preview the form.
5. Type a value then exit the field.

Hélène

Alternative use of date picker in Forms Builder

Hi
I am looking for a way to create event based actions by use of standard functionality.
I have created a calendar module by use of the Forms Builder. I would like to add a date picker to a show form and add some events based on user actions to this page.
When a date is selected (by a click on a date from the small date picker) a new page with events for the selected day should be displayed instead
Have anyone any alternative experience with the date picker in the end user environment?
Regards
John

Hi there,
I presume that you want to run a report with date parameters. The parameter form of Oracle Reports has limited capabilities. It certainly does not have a date picker (Calendar). However, you can use SQL to give you a list of dates for the LOV but it will not be elegant.
If you have Oracle Forms, it can call the calendar for the user to pick the date. The values are then passed to the report as parameters.
Hope the above helps.
Best Regards,
John

Adobe form not saving user-input data into saved pdf file

Hi forumers,
I'm a new abap developer and I'm tasked to create an interactive adobe form that will require the user to input data in the form.
No data is passed and received from PDF, but PDF has to be u2018Fillableu2019. I am able to fill out the form but when I actually save the form, it will be saved as a blank form again. I've seen the relevance of the LS_DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' on this forum and I have incorporated it in my code. But how should I code the abap program to enable to save the user input as well into the form.

Not quite yet, I have to say...
If you check the domain "FPINTERACTIVE", you'll see these values:
               Print Form
X     Interactive Form with Additional Usage Rights
N     Interactive Form Without Additional Usage Rights
F
So, you are not providing "additional usage rights" (Adobe Form Credentials), meaning there could be a problem when you want to use those forms in a Production environment.

i have issue to connect through 6i form.i am using 11g database .
Not supported combination, it may work or may not (Forms 6i is a 8.0.6 Client version).
What's the exact version of your Forms 6i : 6.0.8.XX ?
11g passwords are case sensitive, by default.

Save As with the filename from a form field entry

Hi,
I have an Acrobat fillable form. It is a questionaire that will be filled out by visitors using my laptop then printed. It is important that this form also be saved so I can later merge the data to a spreadsheet.
My first thought was to create a button labeled Print that would first do a Save As then Print. But I'm concerned the visitor may mislabel or even escape out of the Save As dialog box.
Is there java script code someone could help me with that would perform the Save As using the data imputted into one of the form fields as the filename. So when the Print button was clicked the form would be saved (behind the scene) and then printed.
Thanks
Dennis

Issue solved. I should've used Display as text (Does not save state)
THANK YOU JOEL!

EPM add-in problem with input data,retrieve dimension or members

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use data write back (input data) function with EPM add-in in Dashboards. I managed successfully bringing results of an EPM report. I've created a local connection at EPM, and created a connection at data manager for"Planning and consolidation, version for SAP netweaver platform". And i could get the values via refreshing connection at preview mode, so far so good. Now i want to add a connection which will serve as data write back function to a specific BPC cube. The problem is, I can retrieve data source name and environment name. But when i click to retrieve model names, it retrieves empty results. The problem exist in, "retrieve dimension" and"retrieve dimension members" functionalities too. I realized that i could retrieve model names for only one specific environment, but even i could get these, when i try to retrieve "cell definition" i am facing an error. You can see related screenshots below.
I am using Dashboards 4.1 SP2, EPM connector 10 SP 17. I created two connections as local and business planning and consolidation for netweaver. I selected same environment and model name for these connections. Neither did work. Any ideas?
Update: The reason i could see some model names and some others not was i didn't specified the model as data source at:
Enable BPC Model as reporting data source
Logon to BPC 10.0 NW web client -> Planning and Consolidation Administration -> Dimensions and Models -> Models -> Select the Model -> Edit -> Features Used with the Model -> mark check box 'Use as Source of Data' -> Save.
I will update here if i could find a solution for the other issue. (First screenshot).
Update_2: The problem was occuring because i wasn't connecting to transient cube, created automatically by applying the step at Update_1. While creating a local connection, you shouldn't connect to the original cube, but to the transient one instead to use input data functionality.

Onur

HI,
I believe it is definitely the support pack. I posted an issue on this forum and I saw your post. Your issue is very similar to mine. I saw Andy's reply to you about the SP 18 and looked into it. Thanks Andy. SP 18 resolved my issue. See my post. Kathy

Added custom date fields at contract;need to trigger mail using those dates

Hi,
II have added 14 custom fields in the service order quotation for handling waranty start date and end dates capturing for the maximum of 7 years contract.
Then its usual yearly action of the waranty team to put the dates in those fields.
The first set of 2 input fields will be filled at the quotation creation itself; rest the set of 12 fields will be updated in this 7 years time.
My requirement is such that to the capture all the waranty end dates filled in the input fields and trigger a mail 30 days prior to that days.
Example : I have contract from 01/08/2004 to 31/07/2010.
Then my waranty startdate / end date can be filled by waranty team as 01/08/2004 to 31/07/2005 in the waranty first year.the i need to trigger a mail to waranty team on 01/07/2005.
For the second year if we have dates filled as 01/08/2005 to 31/07/2006; then to trigger mail on 01/07/2006.
I have tried using ACTIONS but couldn't get much help.
As a work around thinking for a report to fetch the contract for that Trans.type and check the dates with the present date + 30 and collect those to perfrom the respective actions.This is workaround.
Tried using the DATE TYPES creating 7 different DATE TYPES and assigning the ( end dates - 30 ) to that manually upon save.
and using this DATE TYPE along with the action definition can we acheive ? but it too will be work around.
How to acheive this one. It became critical now in the project.
Thanks and Regards,
Satish Akkina

Hi,
In your scenario, you don't need synchronous email facility.
Probably you can create a z table and maintain all required dates in this table (before saving your transaction somewhere you would have to read your custom fields and save them in this table along with object ID/GUID). Then create a report that would read dates from z table and then send emails to your warranty team. Schedule this report in background with frequency of once day.
Hope that helps.

BJ

Input Date display and submit formats

I need to insert Timestamp into the Oracle database table field.
My particular EO attribute is of type "Timestamp", so that I can insert the Date with time. Also in the control hints format is "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"
The problem is that I just need to show only the Date without time in my table cell using input date.
If change the format in the control hints then I am unable to insert timestamp.
I also see there is a af:convertDateTime component inside af:inputDate.
Can some show easy path to achieve this?
In short how to display only selected date but to insert actual timestamp.
I use JDev. 11.1.1.3
Thanks.

Thanks for the concern.
But if I use "af:convertDateTime" and set pattern to "dd/MM/yyyy" to achieve showing date only I will loose the timestamp to be inserted.
Basic requirement is to show date only and insert real timestamp using input date, also note that I insert timestamp on another user action after the user change the input date value.
I feel like this can not be achieved with single input date in ADF. Am I right? Or is there a way?
Please help.

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
Name: john doe
Date: 1-25-13
file name would be (john doe 1-25-13)

You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
The folder-level script will look like this:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
        oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
    } catch(e){
        app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

How do I input data to a pdf form in Acrobat 8.1.6?

There's probably a simple solution for this but I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to input data to a pdf form using Acrobat 8.1.6, or how I can make the pdf file data field input ready? Thanks.

If you created the form Go back to Acroabt and go to advanced menu and choose:
Extend Features in Reader. then save.
Now open Reader and you can add information and save. (limit 500 instances per pdf).
Now if you created the form and have Acrobat make sure Acrobat in not in Forms Edit Mode.
Just type in your information and save.
Caution make sure that you finished all corrections and edits. because once you confer reader right you can not edit the form. you can edit the form items you fill in, but not the form itself.
to correct the form design you have to go back to advanced reader rights and save a copy without rights. make changes then confer rights again.
