Use xml file to create a word/pdf document

i have a xml doument created using jdom i need to create a word or a pdf document from this file
is there a way to tackle this using java? or what else would you recomend?

Without knowing any details, I would guess that you have a couple of options;
Parse the xml using SAX or some similar tool and use the data recovered to create the document using an existing API; HWPF for example would allow you to create a simple Word documnet or, if you were much braver, you could use the SWT to 'drive' Word using OLE/COM.
If you are very lucky and the xml document conforms to the format Word has recently begun to recognise, you could just try opening the document in Word using the Desktop class.
As far as I am aware, there is no one tool that will do all of this for you. Of course, you could try using Google of visiting Sourceforge to see if anyone is working on such an application.

Debugging mode stopped automatically when using xml file load

Dear Sir,
I am trying to develop a new add-on using xml files for creating new forms. In fact I was using the sample code delivered with the SDK ( WorkingWithXml - under VB.NET). The Problem is that when I am in the debuging mode and after the form load. the application goes out of the debugging mode and stop action.
In fact what i was trying to do first is to create a new menu and then when i click on this menu a new form appear but once the menu is loaded the application stop the debugging mode automatically.
Can somebody clarify to me what I am doing wrong and why the debugging mode is stopped automatically, noting that i am still in the add-on developpement phase.
As i mentioned above i used the WorkingWithXml sample code (VB.NET) and i have adjusted in a way to load menu and then on the menu click i load my form.
Please advice
Best Regards

Hi Mary,
Put your code between in a Try Catch block. In the Catch part use the following:
oApplication.MessageBox("CompError: " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription & vbCrLf & "Message: " & ex.Message)
This should give you a clearer idea of what the error is all about.
The most likely reason is that there is something wrong with your XML file.

Embedding data from xml file into metadata of a pdf

Hi All
I'm wanting to do the following, but struggling to figure the right way to go about it.
I want to embedded data from my MIS into a pdf's metadata (as scrnshot). I can create a standalone xml file with all the data I require, but I'm unsure how to automate that being embedded into a pdf's advanced metadata. I know this can be done, as it worked at a previous employer, but I didn't get chance to find out how they did it.
I'm wanting to do this so I can carry out a more advanced search of the metadata in Bridge.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Northern,
    I have modified the modifyingXMP sample for you. After this change, put your xmp file as sample.xml and also put pdf file in the same folder where ModifyXMP executable is. After merging my changes, ModifyXMP file will read the sample.xml and will embed it into pdf file.
   Please follow the following steps
1. Download XMPToolkit SDK and follow the steps to compile Sample
2. Open ModifyingXMP file, replace all the content of that file with the below content
3. Compile the ModifyingXMP file.
4. The ModifyXMP.exe will be generated in folder (samples\target\windows\Debug), if you have changed the output folder it will be generated there.
5. In parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe put the sample.xml (the xml file you have) and also the pdf file (say pdf file name is mypdf.pdf)
6. Go to console and change directory to the directory where ModifyingXMP is and pass the following command
ModifyingXMP mypdf.pdf
7. Open the pdf file and check that value/properties
For your reference, I am putting the content of the sample.xml file too, put this content in sample.xmp and any pdf and you will find subject field is getting added.
************** content of the sample.xml file. Create a file name sample.xml and put that content. Put sample.xml in parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe*******

How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you
V.Piraba

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!

Creation of External table by using XML files.

I am in the process of loading of XML file data into the database table. I want to use the External Table feature for this loading. Though we have the external table feature with Plain/text file, is there any process of XML file data loading into the Database table by using External table?
I am using Oracle 9i.
Appreciate your responses.

The XML file which U posted is working fine and that proved that external table can be created by using xml files.
Now My problem is that I have xml files which is not as the book.xml, my xml file is having some diff format. below is the extracts of the file ...

My problem is the Item Name and Direction the value of both(ex PSCReceived or UASReceived) will be treated as the coulmn name of the table and '0' would be the value of that column. I am confused how to create the external table creation program for that.
I would really appreciate your responses.

Full sync reconciliation - no xml file is created

Hi,
I am using Oracle VM Templates for PeopleSoft and OIM
I followed exactly the guide here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11223_01/doc.910/e11205/deploy.htm#BIHEBCCI
But my full data publish is not working. no xml file is created in the file node.
Under Enterprise Components >Integration Definitions >Initiate Processes >Full Data Publish I can start a request for PERSON_BASIC_FULLSYNC service operation.
The Run Status is success but distribution status hangs on posting for any of the async-one way messages.
Anyone had issues with this before?
There is a related post here Re: PEOPLE_BASIC_FULLSYNC file export to a file node not working
Under Monitoring>Asynchronous services all of the messages are set to status new.
However synchronous messages/service opertaions are processing successfully via people-code
Please help
Thanks.

Hi, I want to create an App which uses XML file as a data source. I want that XML file is online file on my server downloaded in first use, and looking for changes every time user want to do this, so i have a legal question if apple can release my app in AppStore or they can block it?

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have the same question but I am using two pc's

That looks like the logic which was written into the VI

At no time when the file exists (true case) is the XML file updated...

Importing data- using xml file into HANA Table

Is it possible to import data using XML file into HANA table (Master,Fact tables)?
(Without using any intermediate adapters for conversion of data.....)
Can any one suggest us........
Thank you.

Hi user450616
I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve.
Are you:
1. importing a CSV file into APEX
2. adding an extra column to the Oracle Table
3. populating the extra column with the CSV filename?
Let us know if this is what you are trying to do.
Cheers,

I've created a fillable PDF document in XI Pro. I need to change the body of the document and create a new fillable PDF document. When I do that it won't let me create a new PDF. It keeps saying "no new fields recognized. What can I do to redo my document with the changes in the text, but no changes in the fillable fields?

You start with a source / authoring file for the "static" content (e.g., Name, Last:). Say this is an MS Word file.
You master the "static" content..
You keep this authoring file and have a backup of this file.
You output a PDF and use Acrobat to build and fine tune the "form" (form = the form fields, not the "static" content).
The authoring file and output PDF (with form fields) gives you "rev 00".
Now, you must change something in the "static" content.
Open the authoring file and save as to a new version (e.g., "wordfile_v00" becomes "wordfile_v01).
Output this to "pdffile_v01".
Use Acrobat to open the PDF form file "pdffile_v00". Save As to a new file name ("pdffile_v00update").
Using Acrobat XI Pro the click-path Tools - Pages - Replace lets you replace a page or pages of "pdffile_v00update" with a page or pages from "pdffile_v01".
This replaces the "static" PDF page content and does not affect the form fields on the page.
(you may have to adjust position of form fields)
Save "pdffile_v00update" to "pdffile_v01" to reflect the revised status of the PDF form file.
Be well...
