Unwanted XML tags in annotations

I combined a number of PDFs using Adobe PDF Pack. I then attempted to annotate them on Adobe Reader, using the text box in the Drawing Markups section of the Comments Tab. For some reason whatever I enter into the text box is automatically surrounded by XML tags as soon as I hit return. How do I disable this?
For example this:
Zambanini A, Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 1999: 243-A-4
Becomes this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:APIVersion="Acrobat:11.0.10" xfa:spec="2.0.2" style="font-size:12.0pt;text-align:left;color:#FF0000;font-weight:normal;font-style:norma l;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-stretch:normal"><p dir="ltr"><spandir="ltr" style="">Zambanini A, Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 1999: 243-A-4</p></body>
as soon as I hit return.

Hi Jamie,
Does it happen when you copy the text from the comment list ?
What is the version of Reader that you're using?

Remove unwanted xml tags

Hello All,
I have the below xml message as my input,
<Header1>
<Header2>
<Transaction>
<item1>test1</item1>
<item2>test2</item2>
</Transaction>
</Header2>
</Header1>
I want to remove the first <Header1> </Header1> tag when assigning to an output.
I was wondering, how do we achieve this.
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
For this, u can
1) Use Java embedding to remove the header 1 tags and then assign to the output variable.
2) Create a new variable which should have the structure <header2>... </header2> as in the below xml. Assign the input data to this new variable. Then assign this variable to output variable.
Hope this helps.

MJ

Getting unwanted values between the XML tags in XSLT mapping

Hi Folks
I have come across a very strange situation with my xslt mapping.
I am getting unwated values "11" between xml tags
as follows
<Tag>0001</Tag>
11
<DataID>3</DataID>
I am not sure why I am getting these values in between the tags. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi David,
Here is the code fragment where these 2 tags are mapped, FYI, the source is an IDOC message. The unwanted "11" is coming After the <Tag></Tag> and <DataID></DataID>. FYI, Fof the element <Tag></Tag> its a default value. But for <DataID> </DataID> I have the mapping logic.
<Order>
            <OrderHeader>
              <Tag>009</Tag>
              <xsl:for-each select="E1EDKA1">
                <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="normalize-space(PARVW) = 'WE' and normalize-space(LIFNR) = 'U960'">
   <DataID>

IDOC to File, variable substitution on outbound message XML tag attributes

My scenario is IDOC to FILE using XSL mappings.The target format is 2 XML tags (header, line) with the data stored in the attributes of each tag.
EG. <header attr1=one attr2=two attr3=three><line attr1=one attr2=two /></header>
The name of the file is dictated by an outbound attribute value in the header tag.
Can I get access to it the attribute in the target message in the CC_FILE using variable substution. ?
Currently I am not using content conversion as the XSL produces the file format needed, so I would pefer not to change the outbound message format/structure as this is going to an external party. I would prefer not to change the outbound format as this would need content conversion to strip the unwanted/information/processing node that is used for this purpose (file naming).
The name is a calculation of fields in the IDOC and is not explicit dictated (business logic is applied in the mapping to get the file name), so I would prefer to use the attribute of the resulting XML to keep the "business logic" in the XSL..
Things that cannot be changed.... 1. Must use XSL.for mapping. 2. Format cannot be changed of the outbound message. 3. Would prefer not to involved content conversion to keep formatting/node structure in the XSL mapping.
I have seen some reference to this being possible on the forums but nothing solid from what Ive read.
Something like var1 = payload:/Header/@attr1 in variable sub to get at the attribute
Any comments ?
Thanks in advance.
One final piece of info. its on a PI 7.1 system.

I think its best explained by my other thread Link:PI 7.1 Access to Dynamic Configuration through Java Class .
Thanks for the link I have already implemented based on that link but the one crucial difference is that it is implemented using a static method with no reference to the actual object (payload) for Dynamic configuration. It seems that without the 7.0 API which isnt available in 7.1 by default XSL with java extentions is limited to static methods. If you could read the other thread it certainly is possible I'm mistaken.

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Hi,
if you want to transform something to something else, you should declare, what is your source.
I would prefer to use plain XSL-Transformations, because you have a lot more options to transform your source and you can even better determine, how your output should looks like.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Error for fetching long text in xml tag for xml publisher report

My requirement is to fetch a large document which is in text format in XML output which can be printed in PDF format by using RTF method to generate PDF.But during XML ouput i got the following error-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh

XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1 is the rdf and LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1, G_MEDIA are the groups name. In the group
G_MEDIA i am fetching long_text from attahcment in application. In Database table the datatype of the text attachment is 'long' and there is a huge text
data loaded in large data editor of that column. If the text data volume is small enough then there is no problem for fetching the xml output.
If we change the output format as HTMl then there is no problem for fetching the output for long text but for xml output format we are unable to fetch the data
in xml tag.
One thing to mention the oracle report is the copy of Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. The seeded report is HTML format in 11i. The requirement is to make it in xml report.
Please help.

XML tags in an "export : XML" Report Template

Hi All,
I'm using the export XML report template to produce XML from a query. One of the column contains XML tags and the template is translating eg: if the column is "Groups" then I get:
<Groups>& lt ;Group& gt ;Sales & lt ;/Group & gt ; & lt ;Group& gt ;IT& lt ;/Group& gt ;</Groups>(ignoring all the spaces - OTN is translating the & gt 's :)
instead of:
<Groups><Group>Sales<Group><Group>IT</Group></Groups>Is there an easy way to stop this ?
Thanks,
Steve

How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
For example:
Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

Problem trying to wrap a Microsoft Word paragraph in XML tags?!? :/

Hello everyone. I really hope this is not a big problem and that some of your could help. I wrote a Macro in VBA like a year ago that was intented to put a tag before every single paragraph in a document. The logic validates that the paragraph have no other
tag before putting one. All of this is based in styles. Some font styles would end up with different tags. This is my code and it works:

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

How can i find and replace xml tags?

Hi, i am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove certain tags if they contain particular text.
here is an example of my xml structure…
<entry>
    <name>DEFAULT</name>
    <tel>DEFAULT</tel>
    <address>DEFAULT</address>
</entry>
I am using this initial structure to set the paragraph styles to be followed when the xml data is imported.
This leaves DEFAULT in place wherever an entry doesn't have any content for that field.
I want to be able to import my XML then run a script that removes any tags that include DEFAULT, - I need the entire xml tag to be removed not just the text, if i do a normal find and replace it will only remove the text not the tags which is causing problems with styling. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^p) that i've placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same as opening up story editor and removing the content + tags + hard return in there, but i want to automate the process…
So i think this is what i need to search for in each case
"<name>DEFAULT</name>^p"
and i want to replace it with nothing ""
Can this be done through scripting (ideally javascript)?
I have a little knowledge of javascript but am not sure how to search and target that kind of string in indesign...
using indesign cs5
many thanks

Hi,
Script should do it in two steps:
1. find all occurences of i.e. ">DEFAULT<"
2. remove whole paragraph which is a found_text's container.
For example this way -JS - (a textFrame filled with your text should be selected) :
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
var myF = mStory.findText();
var count = myF.length;
while (count--)
     myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

How to create a flat file without any xml tags in PI 7.0

Hi
I would like to take the content of the tiff-tag and map it to a file, which content is the value of the tiff-tag. How do I do that?
source:
<sourcexml>
<tiff>dhlflfhlfhjhfjhfakjhfkjhfkjhfahflkhflahfalhfalhfldhflkahflak</tiff>
</sourcexml>
resulting content of file:
"dhlflfhlfhjhfjhfakjhfkjhfkjhfahflkhflahfalhfalhfldhflkahflak"
The point is, the the resulting file should not contain any xml tags but only the plain value of the tiff tag in the source document.
Do I need to specify something in the receiver file adapter?
tiff is an image format.
BR
Mikael

Hi
after the mapping and thus as input to the File receiver CC the message looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:blob xmlns:ns0="http://dongenergy.dk/pi/zztest/milun">
<indhold>tiffog dadada</indhold>
</ns0:blob>
Recordset Structure is set to "indhold,1"
and the "lines" are
indhold.addHeaderLine = 0
indhold.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
A file is created but it is empty.

To show the data as a field with structure:
1. Query:
Select * from chipsxmltable1;
Output:
ID XMLDATA
1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<samp:Field1 xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd">

2. Query: (Both the query displays the same Output)
     SELECT X.xmldata.getClobVal() "XMLDATA" FROM chipsxmltable1 X;
     select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;

To show the data as a single string without structure using "getstringval()":
3. Query
     select extract(XMLDATA, '//text()').getstringval() "CHIPS - XML" from chipsxmltable1 x;
OUtput:
CHIPS - XML
NoNoYYYYYY
To show the data as a single string without structure using "getclobval()":
4.Query
     select extract(XMLDATA, '//text()').getClobVal() "CHIPS - XML" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
CHIPS - XML
NoNoYYYYYY
To show the data in a particular tag with/Without structure (Which is not working) using "EXTRACT" function:
6.Query:
     select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/text()').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
     select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
     select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
     select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01/text()').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
CHIPS - XML
The above queries are not fetching the value.
To show the data in a particular tag with/Without structure (Which is not working) using "EXTRACTVALUE" function:
7. Query:
     select extractValue(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI') "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
     select extractValue(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01') "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
X
The above queries are not fetching the value.
My question is:
How to fetch values from xml tag when the value are inserted through xml schema?
Apologies if the description is not clear. Kindly let me know if further details are needed. Many thanks for your help.
Very best regards,

Hi,
You need to declare the namespace of each element used in the XPath expression, like this :
SQL> select extractvalue( XMLDATA
2                     , '/samp:Field1/UTI/U01'
3                     , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"' ) "XMLDATA"
4 from chipsxmltable1 x
5 ;
XMLDATA
No
SQL> select extract( XMLDATA
2                , '/samp:Field1/UTI'
3                , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"'
4                ).getstringval() "XMLDATA"
5 from chipsxmltable1 x
6 ;
XMLDATA
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>Y</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
Please see EXTRACT and EXTRACTVALUE documentation :

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions052.htm#SQLRF06173
BTW, "XMLDATA" is a pseudo-column used by Oracle. I don't know if it'll ever cause any conflict but maybe you should rename your column.
