Using a Button to extract pages and submit form.

I have a five page document. The last page is a letter that gets emailed by itself. Also want the account name and number to flood into the subject line.
I can get this to work if I don't extract the other four pages, and use the built in submit form function in the button. But can flood the value from the account name and number fields.
Function needed for Adobe Pro X and would probably use with Live Cycle in the near future.
Thanks!

OK. In that case you can use something like this as the submit button's MouseUp script:
var newDoc = this.extractPages(this.numPages-1);
newDoc.mailDoc({cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: "Subject line"});
This code will extract the last page of the document and then attach it to a new email message with the specified address and subject line, which you can change of course.

Extracting Pages and Error Message

My Adobe works great. I couldn't ask for a better product. However I have received a PDF file from a customer and I need to extract pages and insert them into another PDF. When I go to extract the pages I get an error message "Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and them the program shuts down. It is only with this one document and I can't find much information as to why this is happening. Any ideas?
Thank You!

This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to

I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
Appreciate any pointers on this.
Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
From my second post:
I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
From my third post
An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.

I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator. This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script. You also never explained the problem you were seeing. You were never clear.
Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators. Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle. So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop. I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream. If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop.
Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there.
You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times

Using cfhttp to read a page and write its contents to a file.

Hi,
I am trying to get a feed of my ebay store listings to load
into froogle. Unfortunately, ebay provides the feed as a website
not a file and froogle (via GoogleBase) needs the file to be
submitted as an XML file.
Is there a way to use something like cfhttp to load up the
page where the feed is located, scan the page and write it's
contents into an XML file that I can then load up to GoogleBase???
thanks for the help.

ignore me now.... I answered my own question a short while
ago.
for anyone who cares....
I used CFHTTP to get the page and then used a cffile to write
the #cfhttp.filecontent# into the new file!

I used up all of my pages and then my games disappeared? anyone help?

I used up all of my pages and then my games disappeared? anyone help?

As already mentioned in your other post, you'll have to create folders and group the apps, then your other apps will be visible again.
To create folders, tap on one app until it starts to shake, then move it over another app and let go. After that you can move the apps into that folder by dragging them into it.

Big trouble with multiple forms in a page and submit - commit buttons

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I have created a menu system based on a sample 61 at
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html
so , on each page i have a form that contains my menu system , when i add second form to this page by using drag and drop , its submit / clear button works but Commit button does not change to Enable and stay disabled.
I change the Disabled property of Commit button to true but it does not operate (does not store data into DB)
I tried my work on a page without those menu system and it works fine.
so i think there should be some tricks for pages that contain more than one form and has a Commit button.
can some one clearify ?
thanks

Can it be a problem with my whole application ?
I tried other applications with same condition and they workd :((
even i made a new page in my application and put only one form into it , the commit button is turned off for ever :((
is it possible that i touched some configuration and commit become permanently disable ?
it will be huge pain if i need to create the project skeleton again , it has more than 20 pages and all navigations and mune system is set :>
any clue ?
I should say that , Jdeveloper hanged once and i kill its process, can that be the source of problem ?

How to get inputted value in a RTE field on custom page and submit by REST call in 'Sharepoint hosted app'.

Hi I am facing the three questions below.
1. How to use default RTE in custom page in Sharepoint hosted app.
I saw the article of Rich text Editor (ribbon based) in a webpart in SharePoint 2013 and tried it. But it did not work well. I guess it needs code-behind setting, however sharepoint hosted app does not support code-behind.
Does anybody know how to do this?
2. In above case, I placed the below code on custom page and tried to get the field's value when submit button was clicked.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="rftDefaultValue"
RichText="true"
RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server"
TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="5">
</SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
In debugger, the returned value was 'undefined'.
var note = $('#hogehoge').val();
Is it possible to get the RTE value? If yes, please let me know how to do this.
3. I need to submit the RTE value using REST call.
In this
article in MSDN, the item creation sample treats single line text field. Does anybody know the sample for RTE?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to use Rich Text Editor control in your SharePoint hosted app.
First of all, I would suggest you post one question in one thread to make it easier to be discussed, which would also help you get a quick solution.
Though we can add this control into a SharePoint hosted app, however, as we can’t add code behind for it, plus with the potential compatibility issues in different
browsers, I would suggest you use other JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins instead.
Two JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins for your reference:
http://quilljs.com/
http://nicedit.com/
If you want to submit the value of Rich Text Editor control to a SharePoint list using REST call, since the content in the Multiple Line of Text column is wrapped
with nested HTML tags, the similar requirement would also be applied to the content to be submitted.
Here is a code snippet about how to update a Multiple Line of Text column for your reference:
updateListItem(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl, "List018", 1);
function updateListItem(siteUrl, listName, itemId)
var itemType = GetItemTypeForListName(listName);
var item = {
"__metadata": { "type": itemType },
"MultiTextEnhanced": "<div><a href='http://bing.com/'>Bing</a><br></p></div>",
"Title": "123"
$.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
$.ajax({
url: data.d.__metadata.uri,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
data: JSON.stringify(item),
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
"If-Match": data.d.__metadata.etag
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
// Getting the item type for the list
function GetItemTypeForListName(name)
return"SP.Data." + name.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + name.slice(1) + "ListItem";

Extracting Pages and naming file names of pdfs

I need to be able to extract pages from a large file to create seperate pdf documents for each page. When I do this the file name for each page is for instance "Medical Records 1.pdf"; "Medical Records 2.pdf".... Medical Records 11.pdf"
Here is the problem. When I go to review them in order the page (document) that is numbered 2 will not be after "1" but rather just before "20" and "3" is out of order and just before "30". When the number of pages is 600 plus this is a problem. This would not happen if there was a leading "0" before the "2" , "3", "30" etc. This happens with single digits and double digits as well since the page numbers are in the hundreds.
Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

Need to add button to seeded page and perform validation

Hello All,
My requirement to add a new button in custom page. when user click on that it should call a workflow.
I have added a button through personalization. but for validation where should i capture this event and code.
Can i extend controller through personalization. if not then how to get controller.java file from server.
When i have tried to get CO from server, i got .class files only. is there any place where i can get .java files.
I would really appreciate,if anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
sheetal mittal

Hi Sheetal,
You need to extend the CO and in the extended CO you need to handle you event. Using personalization you need to attach your new extended CO with the page so that your event will get handled. Hope this will help you.

How can I extract pages and maintain links.

I have a catalog index several pages long and all links to various pages in rest of catalog.
I want to extract those pages with the links to the pages intact and insert into a modified version of same catalog. Page numbers remain exactly the same.
When I extract the pages the link appears to be there(hand changes to finger pointer), but the action has been removed. When you click you go nowhere.
How can I extract these pages and re-insert with links intact?

Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Another "extract pages" and "split" PDF question

I have subscribed adobe's convert to pdf and I was happy with convert function until I found out that I can't upload nor convert 59 MB of a file. Tried several methods, non of them worked. I decided to split the pdf or extract pages that I want it to be converted but guess what? There is no such function. Even if there is, it is very well hidden.
Can someone please explain me how the heck do I extract pages or split the document in parts? Non of the online free splitters work on my file.

Maybe you should invest in Acrobat...
