Script - Changing Submission Format

All
I need a line of Javascript of FormCalc code that changes the form's submission type from XDP to PDF. I have arrived at the following but am unsure if it is correct:
$.#event.#submit.format = "PDF";
Any ideas?

I'm having similar problems.
When I change the "Submit As" property on the FSSUBMIT_ button to "PDF" an error occurs while submitting the form (with signature):
Task 1811 has failed to submit. (ALC-WKS-007-072)
A more detailed look at the log reveals this:
ALC-WKS-005-029: A problem occurred in the Submit Service. Please review the submit orchestration for this process.
I tried adding Form Bridge but that doesn't seem to help either.
Here are some facts:
- I'm using static pdf form
- I'm using xfaForm as my input variable on the background process
- I'm using "Default Render ES Update1" render service

Changing Script Editor Documents format

I hope I am in the right Forum---I recently purchased a Mac mini/Intel. I did not have AppleWorks migrated over from my iBook so when I first tried reading AppleWork files on the mini from my Zip drive they wouldn't read so I was experimenting with alternate applications such as Script Editor. Something happened!! All my Works files now are shown in Script Editor document format yet unable to open any of them. I have since migrated AppleWorks from my iBook but the only way to open any of these files now is to first open up AppleWorks application then open the newly formatted (formally AppleWorks) file. How do I get all my archived Works files reformatted back from Script Editor??
Mac mini Intel/iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook has OS X (10.3.5)

Hi, CABJR.
What I suspect happened is that you used the method outlined in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document", selected Script Editor as the application, and used Change All.
See my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. In the section for Tiger begin with step 6, since in this case it's not optional.
Good luck!

Hi,

var myPattern = new RegExp("^\\d{4,4}$");
var myPrefix="";
if (sourceFile.exists){sourceFile.open( 'r' );
while( !sourceFile.eof ) {
          var aElement = sourceFile.readln();

              //newElementList.push(aElement);

Change default format in "save as" file format window

I month ago I asked the following question...
"How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

Hello TomGroup...
I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.

Any updates on this issue?
I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff If I save
as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
try to save No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection. It's
just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
adds up.

Acrobat 9 (or 9.1) -- Script changes prevent signing -- any workarounds?

I was having problems understanding the behavior of my form until I came across the document at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/articles/reader_compatibility/readercomp_digitalsignatu res.pdf .
My use case, which is a little convoluted, so could probably be streamlined, is that my application server presents a PDF to the user in a browser for them to review / sign.
In some cases, I was getting the message "The document could not be signed." with no other explanation (unlike many other threads which cite more detailed messages with a similar feel).
After reading the section of that doc titled "Script changes prevent signing", I understand why since my form was making script changes
So, now that I understand the situation, I have some options to work around it but presently none are great.
The issue in a nut shell:
1. The form is delivered to the browser, so the notion of save/close/re-open/sign doesn't make sense
2. A button is on the form, with form submit on MouseUp. This is the part that causes problems ... the application server is generating the (same) MouseUp action for ANY button and, at this point, I don't have a way to prevent that.
3. My "illegal" script change was a Page Open script that replaced the MouseUp action to what it "should" be.
4. The problem button is one that I want MouseUp to fire a launchURL instead of a submit.
The workarounds I've considered:
1. Replace the button with a link or non-button fields that has the correct actions. Workable but not a great UI metaphor.
2. Putting the "right" action on the MouseDown. Also workable, but since this doesn't actually prevent the MouseUp from firing, it creates confusing user experience if I there are problems that prevent form submission (and I am not clear if the launchURL in fact prevents the form submission or not).
Are there any other workarounds? Is there any wiggle room on the restriction about no script changes? The script that changes the MouseUp action is defined in an application level javascript file, so I tried making it trusted but that did not seem to make a difference. I feel like
I have a similar, but less import case for a true submit button. I want to also send email on form submission, but since I cannot the form submission on MouseUp, there is no way for me to only send mail when the form is submitted (i.e. all required fields filled in). So, I am presently always sending the mail in MouseDown.

It sounds to me like the same option. Perhaps it also applies to non-PostScript printers now. If the printer is capable of good colour management (many are not); and if the PDF is properly tagged with source profiles, no reason why results shouldn't be good.

Outline of After Effects CS4 scripting changes

Here's a link to a blog post that provides information about the new and changed features in a sparse outline format:
"After Effects CS4 scripting changes"

> We use no compression because the LED signs will not take any file that is compressed. I assumed that meant there was no codec involved. Is there a codec applied in CS6, even though it is uncompressed?
What Rick and I are getting at is: when you render from AE, in the Export Settings dialog there is a codec field; what do you set that to?
Quick terminology lesson. Codec and compression are not the same thing. When you encode video, you are always using a codec. Most codecs use compression, but some do not. "None" or "Uncompressed" codecs do not use compression.
After Effects does not add any compression other than what you specifiy in the Export Settings dialog. There should not be a significant difference between the files produced from AE CS4 and AE CS6. AVI, as a format, has not changed in many years. In other words, we know of no difference that would specifically cause this problem.
If the LED sign software has a problem with an AVI from AE CS6, we need to know the requirements of the LED sign software and how that AVI is failing it. So far all you have told us is "other people say it doesn't work".

Problem changing address format

I live in Japan, and therefore have lots of Japanese addresses. When I imported these addresses into Address book, it automatically put them in 'Japan' address format (although I have UK format specified in the preferences). Japan format is more or less the opposite of UK or USA format, with post code and city first, and street address last.
However, Japan format is only used if the address is in Japanese script. Otherwise the addresses are written in UK format. Therefore, I set about changing the formats. However, when I change the format, Address Book automatically puts the words 'United Kingdom' in the country field. I then have to change it to 'Japan'. As I have about a thousand addresses, this is pretty infuriating.
Is there anyway to change this behaviour, so that the country is not automatically inserted?

Unfortunately you may have to clear out the country field before changing the format.

Conky - script output and formatting?

Hi, i made a small script that is outputting text to my conky, used like this:
${execi 3600 ~/scripts/horoscope.pl scorpio}
The problem is that the text doesn't seem to be formatted (it goes off the edge of the conky).
How can i get the output text to "fit" within my conky's width and not go off the screen?
Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;
my $sign = $ARGV[0];
my @signs = qw(
aries taurus gemini cancer leo virgo
libra scorpio sagittarius capricorn
aquarius pisces
sub horoscope($)
our $data = get(
'http://my.horoscope.com/astrology/free-daily-horoscope-' . $sign. '.html'
if ($data =~ m/(.+)\ id=\"textline\">(.+)<\/div>(.+)/)
our $msg = $2 ."\n";
return $msg;
} else
return "Error retrieving horoscope.";
package main;
for my $val (@signs)
if ($sign eq $val)
print horoscope($val)

That won't work, as i change conky often. I _don't want_ a script outputting "hard-formatted" text that will only fit one kind of conky unfortunately.
If that was what i wanted to do i would have done it that way already...
PS; i don't need to be told to read documentation. I wouldn't have bothered posting if i hadn't looked beforehand. It's rather annoying when you spend several hours searching through doc's, misc forums and tutorials trying to find a solution and when you post a thread about it someone asks you to RTFM.....

OAF changes Date Format

Hi
I need to store a date into a flexfield. We have enabled the Flexfield and there is NO value set attached to it.
This attribute is already in the VO as a varchar, so we have just added a new column into the page as data type Date and link it to the flexfield column.
In this page we have a table layout so the user can enter 10 rows before saving them. And this page it just used to punch data into a table, which means, once the user press apply the page saves and clears. The user can not query on that page.
When entering the first row, we can open the Date picker and we can choose the date and then it populates the column as “DD-MON-YYYY”.
The problem is:
When we entering the second row after entering one column the pages changes the format of my date from the previous record to “YYYY-MM-DD”, then after entering any second column the pages clear the date from the previous row.
Running the page from JDev it shows the following message before clears the flexfield:
java.text.ParseException: 2011-01-28
Note we have not extended the VO and not extended the controller.
My questions are:
1) Why the Self-Service is change the date format to YYYY-MM-DD even if the profile ICX: Date Format Mask (31-DEC-1999) and my preference is set to DD-MON-YYYY?
2) How can I avoid this to happen? Is there any way to keep my date as DD-MON-YYYY?
Thanks,
Alex

How to change the format of a cell in a web report

Hello experts,
Is it possible to implement this in a Web Report/BEx query?
We have a list of products grouped into Company A and Company B. One key figure is for example Net Cost Price.
We need to highlight the lowest net cost price in every company but with a different colour depending on the company assuming prices are sorted in ascending order.
We have been recommended to use Web Design Api for Tables but we understand that in order to format a cell content we need to know the axis position of the cell but we don't know how many rows the query will display for every company. Is this kind of requirements only possible with "static" reports where we know exactly the number of rows and columns that are going to be displayed?
This is an example.
COMPANY      PRODUCTS    NET COST PRICE
Company A    Product 1    <b>5</b>
             Product 2    10
Company B    Product 1    <b>10</b>
             Product 2    20
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi Inma,
If you have already not solved your problem , you can try the following solution with table interface class.
Table interface class generates HTML table row by row so it first process the charecterstics and then KFs .
You define a attribute(type public) in class and set that attribute to X (In CHARECTERSTIC menthod)when ever the company code changes.
Then make use of that flag in DATA method to change the format of cell (Assuming you sorted by Ascending).
hope this helps.

How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
"DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DEPARDATE" DATE,
to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Jay,
I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
Anyway:
You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:

An overview of formatting options can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.
