Templates auto date

I have a stationery template that inserts todays date when you open the template. However after a letter is saved in my docs folder, using that template for format, if you re-open the saved document at a later date, it replaces the original date with todays date. How can I avoid that. Once the template is used and saved as a doc shouldn't it preserve the original date?

Gregory,
If you don't trust the date not to update (I wouldn't if the time-stamp was important to me), you can Copy it, advance the insertion point to just past the date object and then Paste and Match Style. Backspace out the original Date and Time object and you are left with plain text format copy of the date that can never update.

Auto Date field and Auto Number field

I am fairly new to this,
I have crated a form using the form wizard in Acrobat Pro 9.0 and I would like to make a field an Auto date field and another an Auto Numbering field. I have read a lot of the posts and there are a lot of recommendation to point the auto number to a database. This is fine but I do not know how to reference that field to an external database. PLEASE HELP!!!! Somebody GEEK me!!

Metadata templates overwrite 'Date created'

I've experienced this frustrating problem for years but now need to do something about it.
I have a metadata template which I apply to my pictures but everytime this action is performed I'm left with the creation date of the images changed to the date that I created the template (3 years ago)
This problem has been present through all versions of Photoshop that I've used from CS2 to CS5.
Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a way around it?

Have you checked your template for Date Created?

Location Services always ON with Auto Date/Time/Timezone ON

iOS5 lets you see the Location Services (LS) indicator in the Status Bar when system services are using LS in addition to when apps are using LS. I turned this ON (Settings > Location Services > System Services > Status Bar Icon) and immediately saw that "Setting Time Zone" was using LS.
I went into Settings > General > Date & Time and saw that "Set Automatically" was ON. As soon as I turned it OFF the LS indicator disappeared.
Does this mean that LS is always ON when you've got auto Date & Time on? It looks like that to me...
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder whether this is an iOS5 bug or whether it's always behaved like this?
Thanks
Tim

Hi All,
I checked my friend's IPHONE 4S. Date & Time->Set Automatically is set to ON and in Location Services-> Setting Time Zone is set to On but it does not use GPS regularly but my Phone does I have tried everything Setup as new, erase all setting, reset all settings, reset network settings and restore from BACKUP. My Problem is persitent. The Only difference I notice in my mobile and friend's mobile is that he bought from Saudi Arabia and I bought from Australia (though it has been swaped by genious bar). He is using Telstra and I am using Vodafone. both has 9A406.
Hard to figure out what is this?
Thanks

?In microsoft work auto date comes up with may 2, 12 in stead of may 2, 2012?

In microsoft work auto date comes up with may 2, 12 in stead of may 2, 2012?

It was a problem Microsoft introduced--the default options for formatting dates dropped the first two digits. And since the straight date function uses the default format, you get the problem.
I believe the default Insert Date and Time... function now offers up all four digits, but I believe the options given on the Insert Field->Date are still problematical. In that case you just have to edit the formatting clause in Options to change from "y" to "yyyy" .

Auto Date?

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to have Numbers auto date a row for me. I use it a lot to print out schedules and I am manually putting in the dates... kinda a pain in the arse!
Thanks!

Note that Insert > Date and Time is not available if you merely select a cell. You must double-click on a cell or select it & click in the Formula Bar before the menu item is available.
Is it surprising? We have to do that for "hand_done" entry as well as for "prog_done" one.
Also note that while the menu item inserts the current date, it inserts 12:00:00 AM instead of the current time.
From my point of view, this is an anomaly and I will file a bug report.
For those reluctant to type a part of the date_time value, Services are available allowing us to enter a date_time value. Devon Technologies offers such a tool.

Save a calendar list as a template without data - not all views are getting saved

I have read plenty of articles showing how to save a list as a template and create a new list from that template. I have a very large calendar list that I want to save as a template. I do not need that data as it is last years. All I want to do is save it
as a template and create a new list for 2014 using that template.
Following the process, everything worked fine, but the template that got saved did not save all of the views. I have searched all over for a solution, but no luck. This calendar list has every user as a view, so there are a lot of views created.
Is there a limit for the number of views in a list that would be saved? How do i create a new calendar with the same views. I do not need that old data.

Report template auto-changed to Default: HTML

I use the builtin report template "Default: Look 4" for all of my report screens and have a problem when importing the application with a new Application ID.
All reports that use the "Default: Look 4" template get changed to "Default HTML" in the new application and I have to manually change them all back again. This is a real pain because I use the application ID as a form of version control - the old versions of the application are auto-forwarded to the new one - so I end up having to do the change quite often.
Is there a way I can prevent the template from changing?

If it's any help to you, I did a bit of 'vanilla' testing ...
- create a new workspace TEST
- Edit Page 1 of the Sample Application
- Note that the region "My Top Orders" is using layout "template: 12. Standard, Alternating Row Colors"
- export the Sample Application
- import the Sample App with Auto-Assign New App ID selected
- Edit Page 1 in the new application and note that the region template for "My Top Orders" is still set to "template: 12. Standard, Alternating Row Colors"
- Change the template for "My Top Orders" to "default: Look 4"
- Export application
- Import application with auto-assigned AppID
- Edit "My Top Orders" and note that template is changed to "default: HTML (standard)"
The template is only changed when the exported application uses one of the "default: Look X" templates, other templates are not changed. Also, importing into the same or different application makes no difference, the template is still changed.
Thanks for your quick reply so far Scott!

Automatically create new Excel file from template using data from a selected row in a separate Excel file

I am fairly new to Macro and VBA in Excel. I am trying to reduce the amount of work involved in a task that is performed often in our office. Currently, the task involves using 2 separate Excel files. One file is a tracking sheet and the second is the document
that gets sent out to the client. The second document has all the same information that is inserted into the tracking sheet. What I would like to do is have the information that is in one row on the tracking sheet populate into a new excel file that is created
automatically from an existing template.
I have been able to make this partially work. What I have been able to achieve is have the cell that is selected in the tracking sheet (the description field) copy into the new file that is created from the template that is on our server.
Sub NewRFI()
' NewRFI Macro
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("C14").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
What I need to do is get the rest of the information from that same row in the tracking sheet to copy to the new file as well. The other information includes the document number (one cell to the left of the selected cell), who it is from (one cell to the
right of the selected cell), and the date (two cells to the right of the selected cell). As stated, this information is all in the same row on the tracking sheet. Each piece of information needs to be copied to a certain cell in the new file and I do not want
the source formatting to be copied to the new file.
Ideally, I would like it to operate like so: select the first cell in the row (in this case would be the document number field). Then click a button to run the macro that will then copy the information from that row in the tracking sheet to specific cells
in the new file that is created from the template.
This process will save us from having to either manually copy and paste the information into the new file or re-type the same information that is already in the tracking sheet.
This is probably a simple thing to do but it would be great if anybody had some insight on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Try code like the following. You will have to change the target cells (D25, F1 and H4) to the ones you want, I just used some arbitrary cells as example.
Sub NewRFI()
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Workbooks.Add Template:="template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Value = rngCell.Value
' Change the target cells as needed
Range("D25").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Range("F1").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Range("H4").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
End Sub

Populating InDesign templates with data from Excel or XML?

I have a client who does a weekly catalogue for computer parts. It’s very detailed and extremely time consuming, and we are looking at moving it to an automated InDesign workflow to save time and money in production. Once imported into InDesign, the resulting file can be exported as a formatted XML document to a webpage for auto formatting.
I know you can import XML directly into InDesign and vice versa. I have created some categories and tables in Excel and exported this as an .xml document. When I import that document into the View > Structure panel, it displays a whole list of attributes but not the actual text I was after.
Any help much appreciated. I’m using InDesign CS4 and doing some research on google at the moment.

Hi CDesign2,
If I understood you correctly, you are either trying to
View your xml data in Adobe LiveCycle form to redit the form???
View your xml data in Adobe acrobat pro
Or wishing to collate updated(new) data into adobe (lifecycle) tracker and view the data set
I suspect points 2, 3 may be the case.
My experience with migrating excel data back to adobe is this.
If you created the original form with adobe, you have the option of distributing the form (file/form distribution..)
to recipients list (could include form creator).
This allows adobe to generate a distribution and form response file and therefore able to track returned forms either as pdf (preferably) or excel/xml converted back to pdf after saving it.
For Point 2 above,assuming your original data set were created using an adobe form you previously saved, open your original form in acrobat pro, go to menu/forms/manage form data/import data (usually as xml). It automatically repopulates the form.
OR
To view returned forms as a set, go to menu/forms/compile returned forms and this will bring up a window that
requires you
-to browse and locate your response file (essentially defining the index form),which is opened into the top row
-then find and add each new completed form into a list in the second row.
You then click ok and all returned forms are opened in a tracker window...
I just realised I am talking about liveCycle ES version8 and this forum refers to pre ES!
I am not sure if this helps but I hope it answers some of your questions.

Populate PDF template with data from another form

Hi all, it's been a while since I've been here. I'm not a LC pro by any stretch, but I've been working on a personal project which I hope will someday result in a small business. The idea is simple: a client fills out a custom form in Acrobat Reader which I've created in LC Designer. Upon completion, they email the pdf (or XDF, or XML, or E4X or whatever might be possible, I'm not even sure!) back to my website.
On my end... and this is hopefully automated... the data would be injected into a template PDF the client needs. This would then be sent back via email for them to print.
It's been over a year since I worked on this. Both the front end forms and the pdf templates are built, but the interaction between receiving the client data and populating the template form never got worked out.
Could anyone provide me with a clue as to what this workflow might look like?
Just to be clear, this application would be waaay too small to even think about going the Enterprise route. I'm "thinking" the automation part of it would be handled by some custom PHP coding, but that's another story.
Thanks!
Graham Calhoun

Thanks PMG.
Yes, I am wedded to the idea that I will only use Adobe PDF. The server component is a whole other story though. I understand the value of it, but as a small business, the idea of coughing up 60k is pretty much out of the question. Especially given that this form is a one of a kind, simple, time saver for my prospective clients.
From what I understand about LC, Acrobat and Reader, there are severe limitations imposed on saving form information in Reader. My clients need to be able to do that, as the form is quite extensive and needs to be revisited to be sure information is correct.
While any one user will probably not exceed the 500 submissions issue, hopefully there will be more than 500 users submitting 1 time!
We'll see if I can work around this issue.

Email templates using data from iWork Numbers spreadsheet

As a photographer, when I get a call from a client to book a shoot, my first step is to open my bookings spreadsheet in Apple's Numbers and input the client's info into pre-determined columns: name, phone number, job date, job scheduled arrival time, job address, job city, travel distance, details regarding the shoot, and then I have a list of columns that specify costs (cost for work, taxes, travel, etc--automatically calculated via functions in spreadsheet).
Immediately after I insert this information into the bookings spreadsheet, I open another file (a text file)--a text template I created to confirm bookings--and fill in the blanks using the information from the spreadsheet. Once that info has been filled out, I copy and paste the entire text file into an an email and email it to the client for his confirmation/records. The email template text (txt) file I use is included below.
Question: Is it possible to create a script that will read the specified row in my Numbers booking spreadsheet (ie, the row where I input the information in the spreadsheet) and have the information inserted into the separate text confirmation template (apple pages or text or email?) at specified areas within the text? If so, can someone help me make something like this? Here's the template I use:

Let's begin with your first question:
I've tried to change the "Template.txt" file into an rtf so that I can apply bolding and underlining to certain sections (ie, bolding to the entries like client_name, job_date, etc... and underlining to the "Steps"), and I changed the script from Template.txt to Template.rtf to reflect this change... but when I run a script I get a bug... is there any way to use an rtf file in place of the txt?
The following script should work with an RTF file, provided you don't mind using [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html] (in blue below).

GB 10.0.2 'Songwriter' template auto-saved

I recently updated the application from the App Store to GB 10.0.2
Apparently the 'Songwriter' template was auto-saved after/during a GB crash.
Now I am prompted to select the saved or auto-saved version when using this template. The other templates do not have this issue.
Although the 'Songwriter' template correctly starts a new 'Untitled' project, the popup is annoying at best..
Any ideas on how to correct this?

'musical typing keys'
The musical typing is a legacy instrument from GarageBand '11. You can use it, and drop samples to the keys, but GarageBand 10.0 does not save the patch. If you still have GarageBand '11 installed, create the custom sampler instrument in GarageBand '11 and save it there. It will appear in the library in the "User Channel Strip Section" category.

Using an MS Excel like template for data entry into an Oracle table

Does anybody know of a way, or development tool, that has the look and feel of MS Excel but can be used for data entry and be saved to an Oracle table and be embedded into a JSP page? I am currently using iSupport and have a need to allow users to enter data into an MS Excel like template, once the user saves the service request I need for the values to be saved in the attribute fields of the service request. I need the ability to map the cells of the template to the fields in the Oracle table. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
