Using exportAsXFDF function within a PDF

I have created a fillable form with two buttons, a load and save.
Both work fine in professional X, but when I enable the PDF via professional and then try to save data via reader X the functionality does not work.
I have implemented the save as a javascript action on the button, trying both this.exportAsXFDF(); and this.exportAsXFDF(true, false, null);
Both these work in professional X but not in the reader.
Do I need another product to enable this feature within the PDF?
Are there any alternative method of exporting the data from the fillable PDF?
Am I doing something wrong?

For this method to work in Reader you need to apply a special right to the
file using a product called LiveCycle Extensions Server.

Using Saxon Functions Within XSLT

Hi,
Please let me know how to use saxon functions within XSLT.
E.g.: If I want to implement saxon:base64Binary-to-string() function in XSLT in "xsl:value-of" function, then what will be the format for implementation.
I have selected the Processor as Saxon 8.9.0.3 (the one available) and using xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/" in the xsl:stylesheet tag.
I am using Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite for XSLT.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hi,
Yes I intended to use the XLST mapping within PI...but now will have to change the plan...is there any other way to do it?....is this the problem with the SP?.....anybody who can put more light on this topic.....
Thanks,

Limitations in using a function within a select statement

I have a function which retrieves various data elements from the
database and formats it accordingly. The data (varchar2)
returned could be in excess of 2,000 characters length.
I need to use the returned data as part of a view. I am able to
use the function in a "select" statement, but when I use it with
returned data in excess of 2,000 chars, I get the following
error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
This error is occurring whenever the returned data is in excess
of 2,000 characters.
Is there an alternative method to what I am proposing, I have
tried alternative data types but if I am able to use it in a
"select" statement, I get the above error when the returned
length exceeds 2,000 chars.
Thanks

are u using oracle 7. varchar2 limit in 8 is 4000.

Using a function within a process flow...

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way of using a function (or something else) to return a status before attempting to run a mapping. I'd like to have a table with all my mappings, start date, end date, status, etc.
1. SELECT status FROM table, if the mapping has already been executed do nothing, else execute the mapping, etc.
Is there a way to accomplish that in OWB flow ?
Thank you.
GaÃ©tan

Hi,
We had a similiar set up in my previous role where we have a Process flow for each mapping. Under that processflow, before attempting to run the mapping we called function to check whether that particular mapping has been run successfully for that date. The function would take "PF Name" as an input and returns the status as 1 (return success - the mapping was not run, so has to be run today)
2 (return warning - the mapping is already run no need to run this time)
3 ( any fatal errors).
The function code is as below - _______________________________________________________
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "PUB_CHECK_RUN_STATUS"("IN_ETL_PROCESS_FLOW_NAME" IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
--initialize variables here
lv_Current_Load_Id NUMBER;
lv_Last_Load_Id NUMBER;
BEGIN
     <<Check_PF_Status>>                    -- This block is Standard for all Loads Jobs
     BEGIN
          SELECT LOAD_ID
          INTO lv_Current_Load_Id
          FROM LOAD_ADMIN.LATEST_LOAD;
          SELECT LAST_COMPLETE_LOAD_ID
          INTO lv_Last_Load_Id
          FROM LOAD_ADMIN.ETL_PROCESS_FLOW
          WHERE ETL_PROCESS_FLOW_NAME = in_ETL_Process_Flow_Name;
          IF Lv_Last_Load_Id = lv_Current_Load_Id
          THEN
               -- This Process Flow has already been completed during this Load, so do not re-run
               RETURN 2;          -- Returns a Warning Status
          ELSE
               -- This Process Flow has not completed during this load, so need to run this now
               RETURN 1;          -- Returns a Success Status
          END IF;
     END Check_PF_Status;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN 3;     -- Returns an Error Status
RETURN NULL;
END;
In the above code
LATEST_LOAD is a view which always returns one row with current load information (like load _id, start time etc)
ETL_PROCESS_FLOW is a table containing one row for each process flow with information like (execution status, load_id when it was execute )
You can modify to suit your requirements.

TOC links fail when using book function for interactive pdf output

I have a large print publication consisting of multiple files using the Indesign book function. I have created a Table of Contents in the first document (there are multiple files in this book), but when I save to interactive pdf to create a digital version the TOC links are lost. They only work within the first document.
I have read numerous forums but cannot resolve this issue with the combination of:
1. TOC creation
2. Using Indesign Book Function
3. Multiple documents in the one book
4. Interactive Pdf output required
I look forward to answers???

I am on CC version 9.0 but am updating CC as I type this in the hope this may have some answers?
If you are on CC, you should update your InDesign version to 9.2.1 as it is the latest version. Then you should open the TOC definitions, check it, activate the new add anchor on destiny function and save. Now you should actualize all TOCs.
The TOC functionality has been improved and changed between 9.0 and 9.2. If you update your files accordingly you will suffer less pain.

DBMS_XMLQuery behavior when using stored function within cursor select

Consider the following SQL Statement
select t1.id
, t1.name
, cursor ( select t2.id
from tab t2
where t2.t1_id
= t1.id
and validate(t2.xyz,:bd1)
= 1
from tab t1
where t1.id = :bd2
DBMS_XMLQuery is used to create a context and to bind the appropriate values. In this case 'validate' is a stored function. I get the following error message upon execution:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
Issuing a similar statement in SQL*Plus works fine. I was wondering whether this is a known issue when using a stored function in the cursor select statement in the context of DBMS_XMLQuery or whether I'm doing something wrong.

Hi Jan,
This problem has been identified and fixed. The fix should be available in the next release. Thank you for bringing this up to our attention.

Can I use math functions in a PDF?

I've got a document where scores are entered (1 - 5) in numeric fields. Is there a way to add these and average them, and output that value into another field on the fly, or by pressing a button on the form?

you can also do it in formcalc.
For adding use the sum() function.
For averages use the Avg() function.
You could put the formula in the calculate event of the field you want the results to show in and it would appear as soon as the initial numers are entered, or if you want to use a button you could put the formula in the click event of the button.

Spawn a new PDF using Java Script within LC Designer

I am trying to spawn a new PDF file to be created from an existing PDF using Java Script within the LC designer
I have this example but I can't get it to work
function createPdf()
    pdf = pdf$();
    pdf.addText('Hello World');
    pdf.writeToFile('c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
    window.open('file://c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
Is it possible to create a PDF like this within LC Designer?

Hi
I would like to see if it was possible. I thought it would be easy, as
there is a standard batch processing sequence (Print 1st page of all) using
Java that comes with Acrobat 7. This allows you to print the first page of
a number of files that you select when the sequence is run. Its code is:
/* Print 1st Page */
/* This sequence prints the first page of
   each document selected to the default printer.
this.print
To my uninformed mind it seemed logical that the same code, slightly
modified to print all pages, should work from within a form.
Anyway, if there is a way to choose individual files, I would appreciate
that.
Thanks
Rob

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

File upload from form using cf8 file functions within cfscript?

essentially, i'm wondering if anyone can give me an example
of a way to replicate cffile upload using cf8's native file
manipulation functions within a cfscript tag?
more specifically, i am wondering if anyone had any code
examples for uploading a file specified by a user on an html form
using cf8's file functions (fileOpen, fileCopy, fileDelete,
fileMove, fileClose, etc....) within a cfscript tag. i've done this
a number of times in the past using upload through cffile, but i'd
like to take advantage of cf8's new native file functions and be
able to deploy the code within a cfscript block.
i've found some simple examples of the file functions within
the docs and online, but nothing showing me how to take a file from
an html form and upload it where i want it, as cffile will do.
thanks in advance for any help.

those cf8 file functions are for manipulating files on the
server.
you still need to upload the file in one way or another.
as for replicating cffile action=upload in cfscript: just
write a
function that uses cffile tag to upload a file, and call that
function
from your cfscript!

Need Help: Using Ref Cursor in ProC to call a function within a Package

I'm calling a function within a package that is returning a REF CURSOR.
As per the Oracle Pro*C Programmer's Guide, I did the following:
1) declared my cursor with a: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and declared the cursor as: SQL_CURSOR my_cursor;
2) I allocated the cursor as: EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :my_cursor;
3) Via a EXEC SQL.....END-EXEC begin block
I called the package function and assign the return value to my cursor
e.g. my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2);
Now, the only difference between my code and the example given in the Pro*C Programmer's Guide is that the example calls a PROCEDURE within a package that passes back the REF CURSOR as an OUT host variable.
Whereas, since I am calling a function, the function ASSIGNS the return REF CURSOR in the return value.
If I say my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "PLS-00201: identifier MY_CURSOR" must be declared"
If I say :my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "ORA-01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value"
I just want to call a package function and assign the return value to a REF CURSOR variable. There must be a way of doing this. I can do this easily in standard PL/SQL. How can this be done in Pro*C ???
Thanks for any help.

Folks, I figured it out. For those who may face this problem in the future you may want to take note for future reference.
Oracle does not allow you to assign the return value of a REF CURSOR from a FUNCTION ( not Procedure - - there is a difference) directly to a host variable. This is the case even if that host variable is declared a CURSOR variable.
The trick is as follows: Declare the REF CURSOR within the PL/SQL BEGIN Block, using the TYPE statement, that will contain the call to the package function. On the call, you then assign the return REF CURSOR value that the function is returning to your REF CURSOR variable declared in the DECLARE section of the EXEC SQL .... END-EXEC PL/SQL Block.
THEN, assign the REF CURSOR variable that was populated from the function call to your HOST cursor varaible. Then fetch this HOST Cursor variable into your Host record structure variable. Then you can deference individual fields as need be within your C or C++ code.
I hope this will help someone facing a deadline crunch. Happy computing !
