XFA Customized Shell PDF Generation and Use

Hello,
I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES3, Version 10.0.2 on Windows 7 to create our performance appraisal forms so they can expand as needed. The form information is:
Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA)
<config xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xci/3.0/">
<xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
The forms work great and expand as needed, however, when opened in web browser PDF viewers, I would like to use a customized Shell PDF instead of the following:
Is it possible to edit this Shell PDF that is displayed to give specific instructions or is it possible to to add in a custom static PDF file in its place?
Thank you so much for any assistance.

I have written some C# code using iText to do this. I'll see if I can't clean it up and post it.

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • How to use VBA to View PDF file and use an OCR object?

    As subject, I need to use VBA to open PDFs via Acrobat. Convert images to texts. And get some key words from the documents.
    But I cannot find the API for VBA from SDK.

    The API for VB is part of the "Interapplication Communication" section, specifically the part for "OLE". You can also use much of the JavaScript API through a VB:JavaScript linkage.
    I don't know if there is an API to running OCR.

  • HELP! opening a pdf file and using page view

    Hi everyone!
    I'm doing a school project in which I'm trying to develop an app that opens a pdf file from the device memory (ipad or iphone) and lets the user turn pages forward and backward by swiping on the screen. Although I have very basic knowledge of C++ and Objective C programming, I find myself completely lost and don't know how nor where to start. I'd be pleased if you could help me or at least give me a starting point to develop my app.
    Thank you

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • PDF generation in VC

    Hi everybody,
    I need to develop a wizard-like application which ends generating a pdf non-interactive form (i.e. list of class students).
    I would like to use as less coding as possible, so I'm using Visual Composer for the selection steps.
    However the last step should provide the pdf generation and I actually don't know how to integrate these two technologies.
    I know that WDP java provides Adobe Forms natively, but WDP integration with VC is somewhat hard and uncertain, as other sdn posts show, especially when flex is used.
    Can anyone provide help, experiences or example with regard to pdf generation with Visual Composer?
    Thanks
    Point will be awarded

  • BI 7.0 Web PDF Generation

    Hi folks,
    I do have a severe problem with PDF generation and it looks like a common issue.
    I integrated Button to convert my Management Webreport to PDF, no big issue so far.
    But the generated PDF is not bevaing like expected. We do have a BI report that contains 3 charts horizontally alligned by a table to fit the screen and 1 table below
    those charts.
    This report fits perfectly on one page landscape.
    When generating PDF locally (PDF generator installed on client PC) Internetexplorer ==>PDF works as expected.
    When using the Button in Webtemplate to use the BI functionality to export to PDF the PDF is a mess.
    All template items are displayed in sequence taht means instead of 3 horizontal charts I see 3 charts and 1 table underneath each other.
    It looks like the old fashioned 3.x print function.
    My question:
    Is there a way to influence the PDF generation. Maybe a class ( like former 3.x  Table Interface) to modify to render the PDF like the template appearance?
    We cannot install PDF clients locally nor can we ship management those reports coming from BI. Report designer is no alternative because of missing functionality.
    TIA
    Joerg

    Thanks so far,
    currently when using the container item and referring by command wizard ( export to PDF) the system is not generating any item.
    Error Message 'file has no page and can't be opened...' occurs.
    I think this is a really urgent Development issue because I think printing via PDF is getting more and more important since not everyone is using IE7 ( which is not fully supported by SAP either) to scale pages for printing.
    Best regards
    Joerg

  • Creating a custom dictionary for Acrobat and Reader.

    I want to create a custom dictionary to be used by all of our users when they access a “forms document” through Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
    Here are some of the issues:
    The default dictionary name under Custom Dictionaries has a .clam extension.
    Is there a way to edit this?
    Does it contain the index settings for all the other added.txt and excluded.txt dictionary files?
    The Reader's default location is under a user’s LocalLow folder.
    C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary.
    The Acrobat default location is under the user's Roaming folder.
    C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\.
    This is buried under the users profile and we need to be able to update these files on all the user’s workstations prior to log on.
    This could be done by redirection of the new custom dictionary. What is the location of that setting in the registry?
    Is there is a way to append to the standard dictionary file so as not to replace any setting that a user may have made to the dictionary?
    Is this done to the .clam or .txt file outside of the Adobe Reader application?
    What is the “All” setting in the dictionary?
    Does that imply the program will look through all the dictionaries?
    Is there a way to create a new dictionary name that would appear under the preferences\spelling\dictionaries list. Is there an Index file that would point to a newly created Dictionary folder?

    Custom dictionaries must be created with a 3rd party program provided by Proximity (http://www.proximitytechnology.com/spell_correction.htm).
    The spelling support files are installed in this directory for all users (this is only the default)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\<product>\Resource\Linguistics\Providers\Proximity
    File types include:
    ENV - eg: grmphon.env - the phonetic rule file for the spelling dictionary language. There is one of these “ENV” file for each language.
    CLX - eg: grm32.clx - a language related part of spelling dictionary. There is one of these “CLX” file for each language.
    LEX - eg: grm104.lex - an actual spelling dictionary. There may be several dictionaries for a given language, for example, grm104.lex, grm10401.lex.
    So the answer is:
    Create a custom dictionary with Proximity and use the Wizard or some other method to deploy the files in the correct location.

  • Open pdf in safari using: ACROBAT 9 PRO

    Hi,
    I am using safari 4.0.3 and Acrobat Pro 9 10.4.3. When I click a pdf file in safari, it opened with it default pdf viewer. However, I want to use acrobat to view pdf (in safari).
    Here are the solutions I've tried:
    1 Acrobat->Preference-> Internet->Display PDF in browser using-> Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3
    2 Acrobat->Help->Repair Acrobat Installation->adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin->Continue then it says successfully installed
    3 Safari->Help->Installed Plug-ins. I can NOT find acrobat/pdf plugin
    4 Library/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
    5 Users/My name/LIbrary/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN ALSO find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
    6 When I open a pdf on my computer, it runs Acrobat 9
    NONE OF THESE ABove WORKS.
    Could anyone please give me some suggestions?
    Message was edited by: AndrewGH

    I would guess that Acrobat Pro isn't compatible with Safri 4.0.3 yet, and perhaps even 10.6, but only Adobe really knows, so you'd be better off asking them. If it's not, I'm sure they'll release a patch or update of some kind after 10.6 ships.
    If I were you, I'd uninstall the portion of Acrobat that normally works with Safari to render PDF files and use the built-in rendering abilit of Safari itself. Not only is that simpler, but Acrobat Pro is a huge memory hog.

  • NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses

    FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
    You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
    To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
    Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
    Click to view larger image
    The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
    Click to view larger image
    The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
    Click to view larger image
    The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.
    This FAQ describes what types of PDF forms can/cannot be imported and what functionality is limited within the PDF once imported:

    I followed this process to import my PDF form.  The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral.  The link works but the web page is confusing to customers.  The message is: 
    An error has occurred.
    The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
    When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer.  I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.  
    How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page?

  • When I open a PDF in Firefox using the Acrobat plugin, it prevents me from entering text anywhere else in Firefox

    I like to have multiple tabs open in Firefox. If one of those tabs contains a PDF, I am unable to enter text anywhere else in Firefox, such as if I want to type a URL or use the Google search box. I have to close the PDF in order to be able to type again. Is there any way to fix this?

    Starting in Firefox 19, PDF files will display by default in a built-in viewer. This viewer does not yet support all of the features of the Adobe viewer, and may also have some bugs. Other than changing viewers, as described in the following article, I'm not sure what to suggest.
