Split imported XML data into multiple text fields

I should first describe my final project because it is very possible that I am going about this entirely wrong!
I am trying to create an interactive PDF file which is the floor plan of our office, when you mouse over the office spaces it would popup the info for the person in that office, in fact when you click on the office space it would show additional info like computer MAC and jack numbers
I placed the floor plan as a layer and them created a second layer with no fill/no stroke rectangles over the offices and made them buttons (office01, office02)
I then made text fields with the info for the people, one for regular info and one for extra info (office01-data, office01-Xdata) I made these text fields buttons as well and had them "hidden until triggered"
These info fields are all on top of one another, as in the are all the same size and in teh same location
Then I went to the office buttons and created events "On Roll Over" "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms" and changed the visibility of the corresponding info button.
This works like a charm!
I hope I am clear up to this point.... my problem now is I would like to import this data both regular and extra from an excel spreadsheet or an XML file.
That way when we get new staff or people move offices or whatever I can update the spreadsheet or XML file, rerun my InDesign file and create a new interactive PDF
I have created the XML file
<staffMap>
 <staff>
 <name>John Doe</name>
 <computerName<gfth56df</computerName>
 <phoneMAC>00:08:00:AB:CD:EF</phoneMAC>
 </staff>
<staff>
 <name>John Smith</name>
 <computerName<gfth06cb</computerName>
 <phoneMAC>00:08:00:11:22:33</phoneMAC>
 </staff>
</staffMap>
Created a new InDesign document
Imported the XML and placed it in a text field
saved as a template and closed it
Reopen and import the XML data again... and it brings it all into the text field... wonderful and useful but not what I need.
Is it possible to import the XML data into separate test fields, or into some other separate field that I can make into a button and show/hide?
I may end up just entering all the data directly into InDesign as I know this will work, it just does not seem like the right way to do it.
Thanking you all in advance

I am still looking to get some help with this.
I would love to know if it is not possible or any ideas at all

Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form

Hi All
Excellent forum, and thanks for all the revealing insights so far viewed, however one question.I'm using a PDF form to collect info via email in the format of XML datafiles. I also have an identical PDF which has database connectivity and that works fine. It was suggested on this forum that I could then import the XML data into my Database via the DB-connected PDF, in effect a user form and one with DB connectivity. Now, I've checked the data types and they all match, but when I import XML file, it creates a blank record in the database and none of the information is carried through. Please could someone offer guidance on what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to figure this out for a week now?
Thanks
Steppe

Maybe it's because I'm replying by email, so I'll try the forums directly;

Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

Hi again,
Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
I hope the scenario is understandable
Sincerely

PS: During the various projects I am working on I keep running into problems...however I am totally new to LiveCycle so I consider this very informative learning steps and appreciate all your help :-)

Hi again, I have been experimenting a little with both the renderPDFForm and importData services. However I don't seem to be ble to make them work as I need them to. My scenario is simple, I have one (call it a template xdp/PDF form) and lots of data in xml files (around 1000), that I need to import into the template. Therefore I have set up a "Watched Folder" to take the xml as a document (I guess this is a requirement) and then I need either the renderPDF or importData services to import the xml data into the template. I would like to know how I should setup the services to make this work. When I try to use importdata I setup the following: PDF document: set to be the template i need to import the xml to) Input data: the document variable (an xml file) that is passed to the Watched Folder Data merged PDF: set to an out xfaform When I do this I get an Coercion error in the server log: 2007-11-15 13:27:05,324 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] stalling action-instance: 1506 with message: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error. at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toDOMDocument(CoercionUtil.java:656) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:878) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:803) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.coerceFrom(Abs tractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:64) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.getNode (AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:47) at com.adobe.workflow.dom.VariableElement.setBoundValue(VariableElement.java:93) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataValue(PATExecutionCo ntextImpl.java:729) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataWithExpression(PATEx ecutionContextImpl.java:335) at com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.service.SetValueService.execute(SetValueService.java:46) ...

Import Xml data into Core Data

Hi im very new here, im trying to find a tutorial to import a xml data into a core data and so i can publish it in a tableview
Can somebody help me??
thanks

Hi,
If you have already have the xml data then you need to parse the XML data (Using NSXMLParser Class), After parsing the data we need to maintain arrays to store this XML content. After getting the arrays with fully parsed data, you have to store this data in our Local Database (Core Data). May be it helps for you.

Export XML data into multiple worksheet of an Excel file..using FO processr

Hi,
I need to export XML data into Excel output, the data should flow into multiple worksheet of the Excel file.
Let me know if this can be done using XML publisher. If yes, please provide me the steps to do the same.
Could not able to achieve this through by the below process:
(1)     Created a RTF (which has single excel table structure).
(2)     Generated the XSL file using XSL-FO Style Sheet.
(3)     Passed the XSL file and XML
which exported the data into an Excel (single worksheet) format.
Please let me know, how this can be exported into multiple worksheets.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhamodaran VJ.

Hi Dhamodaran ,
pass me the template you created and XML. "Created a RTF (which has single excel table structure)."
Let me have a look at it,
For ID, look at profile.

Importing XML Data into a Reader Extended PDF

I'm using designer 9 to create a PDF that will import an XML document on initialization and will use that document to populated multiple dependent dropdown lists.
That's working fine in preview when I use xfa.datasets.data.mydataset to access the XML document and proceed to manipulate the XML with e4x.
Now I have the form working correctly in designer preview and I want to reader extend the form and configure the data connection to access the XML file dynamically instead of using the preview data.
I've tried a few methods of accessing the data via a reader extended form and they have all failed.
I've tried to call importData("local filename") and access the XML file that way. That appears to fail silently.
I've also tried to embed the XML in a hidden form field and the XML document length apparently exceeds the max character limit so I can't do that.
So how can I import the XML document on form initialization either through a) importing the data(ideally through a web URL) or b) embedding the XML document directly in the form somewhere? Thanks.

Hi,
It's indeed possible to import data in a reader enabled form with Reader.
Here's a sample:

Import XML data into a table

I am creating a catalog using CS5.5 and need to import datain to a table format. I can import my xml file into a place holder, however, it will not work for my catalog format. I've tried data merge, and that will not work either. I will need the data to be linked so that I can update right before it goes to print. Does anyone know how to create a linked data table? Below is an example of what I am trying to accomplish with each field linked to my data base.

Problems importing XML data into form (Acrobat 8 Pro)

I created a form in Designer with an email submit button, and now I am receiving XML files by email. I'd like to import these back into the form. But when I open the form and select "import data," I get the following message:
"This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended eatures in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy."
Whether I save it or click cancel, afterwards "import data" is no longer an option. The same thing happens if I try to open the form again in Designer.
I assume that this is related to having enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader (necessary because the email submit button only works for people who use Microsoft Outlook -- what's up with that?). But dis-enabling these rights for the form doesn't change anything.
All help appreciated! I'm a novice, so please make it simple.
Thanks,
Ted

If I click "save a copy," then it opens a dialogue box for this. I've been saving this copy under the same name but in a different folder (so as not to screw up my original).
After saving the file, the "import data" option is no longer available for selection. (Nor is the "Edit Form in Designer" option).
If I close this and open the newly saved file, then it does give me an "import data" option. But when I try to import an XML file, I always get this error:
"Xml parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token)(error code 4), line 1, column 5 of file [file path and name]"
Open for suggestions.
Thanks,
Ted

OWB 10R2 XML_ETL_UTILS xml data into multiple targets

I am having some trouble with loading an XML file correctly into the target tables.
The XML is looking like this (simplified))
<DATA>
<ROW rowid="1">
<FIELD1>bla1.1</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>bla1.2</FIELD2>
<CHILDREN>
<CHILD id="c1_1">bla_c1.1</CHILD>
<CHILD id="c1_2">bla_c1.2</CHILD>
<CHILDREN>
<PETS>
<PET id="p1_1">bla_p1.1</PET>
<PETS>
</ROW>
<ROW rowid="2">
<FIELD1>bla2.1</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>bla2.2</FIELD2>
<CHILDREN>
<CHILD id="c2_1">bla_c2.1</CHILD>
<CHILDREN>
<PETS>
<PET id="p2_1">bla_p2.1</PET>
<PET id="p2_2">bla_p2.2</PET>
<PETS>
</ROW>
</DATA>
A have a very simple data model:
TABLE data (DATAID, FIELD1, FIELD2)
TABLE datadetails (DETAILID, DATAID, DETAILTYPE, DETAILKEY, DETAILVALUE)
(Both set to truncate/insert)
When generating the pluggable mappings using the XML_ETL_UTILS each 'level' is generated into a pluggable map (DATA, ROW, CHILDREN, CHILD, PETS, PET).
1) The first problem I have was how to keep the relationship between the 2 tables. When inserting data into the 'datadetails' table, the data has to been linked to the correct row of the 'data' table.
This has been solved (not the best way I think) by manually modify the pluggable mappings CHILDREN, CHILD, PETS and PET to include and pass through the 'rowid' attribute so this 'rowid' can be inserted into the 'datadetails' table when inserting the details.
-> My guess is that there should be a better way or the XML_ETL_UTILS should be able to generate the code to handle this 'parent<->child' relation preservation. Only I don't know how (yet).
2) The problem I am facing now (after manually modifying the generated pluggable mappings to pass through the ID of the parent), is that for each parent ALL details of the XML file are inserted and not just the details belonging to that particular parent.
It seems that when processing the data for the 'datadetails' table, it re-read the whole XML file and looks for all instances of the detail element of the particular pluggable mapping.
This results in a 'datadetail' table looking like this
DETAILID DATAID DETAILTYPE DETAILKEY DETAILVALUE
*1 1 CHILDREN c1_1 bla_c1.1
*2 1 CHILDREN c1_2 bla_c1.2
*3 1 PETS p1_1 bla_p1.1
4 1 CHILDREN c2_1 bla_c2.1
5 1 PETS p2_1 bla_p2.1
6 1 PETS p2_2 bla_p2.2
7 2 CHILDREN c1_1 bla_c1.1
8 2 CHILDREN c1_2 bla_c1.2
9 2 PETS p1_1 bla_p1.1
*10 2 CHILDREN c2_1 bla_c2.1
*11 2 PETS p2_1 bla_p2.1
*12 2 PETS p2_2 bla_p2.2
This is off course not correct. Only the ones marked with a * should be there.
When trying to add a filter within the pluggable mappings to only look for the elements that have the correct parent (fortunately we do have the parent ID available because of the previously mentioned manual modifications of the mappings), the code that gets generated is not correct because it generated code with incorrect (missing) references to the correct variables and doesn't work.
-> Any idea of how to fix this?
=> More in general: what is the correct approach with OWB to load XML files that contain multiple rows and rows can have multiple level parent<->child relations? (Very common in XML world). Somewhere after processing we need a relational model to hold this data. Any help, examples, etc. is very much appreciated.
Don't hesitate to call/e-mail me for questions/remarks, etc.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Tullio
es you will have to regenerate the pluggable mappings (rerun the expert). and you can either rebuild your map or synchronize the pluggable mapping operator in the map.
The error crept in when I introduced the 'create root node' option in the expert, this path worked, just the original did not ..sorry:) The fix should resolve your problem and I will get a full update uploaded.
Thanks

Importing XML data into sys.XMLType - encoding problem

Hi,
I'm using "modplsql Gateway" to upload XML file with encoding "windows-1250" with some regional characters in database table.
The table definition:
CREATE TABLE NAHRAJ_DATA (
NAME VARCHAR(128) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR(128),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR(128),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR(128),
CONTENT LONG RAW,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB
The file was uploaded correct.
My database have
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
After upload, I convert data from hex(blob) to dec and with function chr() to char. BLOB -> CLOB.
Next I create sys.XMLType from CLOB. With this progression works all in order.
In other system where are
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
BLOB_CONTENT column(table NAHRAJ_DATA) starts with "FF FE FF FE" in HEX before my XML data. Exactly convert is OK, bud if I can create sys.XMLType I get this
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to UCS2 Error at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
I haven't any idea what's wrong.
Whats mean the HEX code in BLOB_CONTENT column after upload?

Problem splitting XML Data into multiple files

I am sending an XML message through an enterprise message source in enterprise link design studio. While I do so, I am getting a heavy error. This error tells me that my path ist wrong, but I am sure this one is right. Actually everything worked fine till I added an attribute twice in my XML. Since this point enterprise link drives me crazy, I have checked on my XML, it is valid, I have checked on my path, which is also ok.
Anyone some suggestions how to resolve the issue?
The Error code looks the following:

Database automatically imports xml data into pdf - issues

Hi Guys,
I have another important question. I have LCD 8.0 where I created a pdf form.
An Access database should pull information from the XML and import automatically into the pdf file without human interaction.
The code I am using for importing (which is on the form docready event is: xfa.host.importData("data.xml"); -- but the information is not being automatically filled in, is there a particular syntax for the path? or is there another way to accomplish this?
Thank you for your help in advance!!!
Diana

Are you getting any error messages (check the javascript console - ctrl-j in Acrobat). Did you bind the fields to the inbound XML structure? Look at the Object palette and choose the Binding tab. Have a look at the Data Binding field - is there anything set there?

Split the incoming data into multiple grouped output records

I have three fields in the source, Student ID, Student name and Student Marks. I need to map the details in the destination, by grouping the data on the basis of marks obtained. Each time there's a new mark , the corresponding details of names and student

Thanks for the fast response.
I saw your example and specifically the javascript code
xfa.host.importData("filename.xml").
Just by giving this alone how do I access the values in the xml???
Just by giving the above javascript, my value is not getting populated when I see in pdf preview.
But apart from that you have done dataconnection also and binding in all the columns.What is this for??
Could you kindly explain what u r doing step by step??
Thanks again.
