XML data into spreadsheet form?

I created the form and a customer filled it out and returned it to me using the submit button via email. Is there a way to take the xml data and populate an excel spreadsheet appropriately?
Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0/ Microsoft XP Pro/ 160 gig harddrive/ 512 RAM
Thank you for your help!

Hi Darren,
Are you looking to automate this?
You can bring up the form in Acrobat and go file->Form Data -> Create Spreadsheet from data files. You would then select all the files (xml) to put in the spreadsheet.
Does that help you?

How to Post Xml data into interactive form in web dynpro

Hi,
I want to be creating the xml source for web dynpro programatically.
This is because my adobe form is highly dynamic where even the kind of ui elements and the position is decided at runtime.
It is a highly interactive chart which I am planning.
I want to then bind this dynamically generated xml to the pdf.
Let me know your ideas.
Thanks,
Harish

Conclusion from my point of view:
1) You cannot have this thing interactive if you want to work with all the features of OM, if you want to cover all the details. In that case you need to create some tool for drawing the pictures for you and then only send the picture into the form. If anybody would like to do the changes you would add the table at the bottom of the page where a guy can say something like "chair A move under the big banana B" or "fire Mr. C, remove the position of Mr. C". That is probably the thing I would go for
2) I am afraid you or your employer do not understand how the Adobe forms work. This is possible, but as I said before, that would be a nightmare for the developer (I cannot tell the price, would start with like 20 MDs).
3) If you would like to mimic some existing solution and don´t want to buy that, then it´s ok for me. But don´t try to re-create the existing .NET or Java stuff in ABAP. I am skilled Java programmer and I can tell the freedom and the speed of the development is quite different. If the customer/ boss insist on developing such thing, use WEB development, go for PURE JAVA (I would go this way), use Java Connector in a JSP/ J2EE stuff and then incorporate the result into the portal.
Hope that clarifies the problem a little,

Load data in xml file into Pdf form created by LiveCycle Designer

I want to load data in xml file into Pdf form when Pdf opened and Form field will be filled with data from xml file .I try to use $host.importdata("filename.xml"); But i could not find suitable place to run my code. Can anyone give me some advice? thank you.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
 ID VAL
 1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
 ID VAL

Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

Hi again,
Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
I hope the scenario is understandable
Sincerely

PS: During the various projects I am working on I keep running into problems...however I am totally new to LiveCycle so I consider this very informative learning steps and appreciate all your help :-)

Hi again, I have been experimenting a little with both the renderPDFForm and importData services. However I don't seem to be ble to make them work as I need them to. My scenario is simple, I have one (call it a template xdp/PDF form) and lots of data in xml files (around 1000), that I need to import into the template. Therefore I have set up a "Watched Folder" to take the xml as a document (I guess this is a requirement) and then I need either the renderPDF or importData services to import the xml data into the template. I would like to know how I should setup the services to make this work. When I try to use importdata I setup the following: PDF document: set to be the template i need to import the xml to) Input data: the document variable (an xml file) that is passed to the Watched Folder Data merged PDF: set to an out xfaform When I do this I get an Coercion error in the server log: 2007-11-15 13:27:05,324 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] stalling action-instance: 1506 with message: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error. at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toDOMDocument(CoercionUtil.java:656) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:878) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:803) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.coerceFrom(Abs tractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:64) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.getNode (AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:47) at com.adobe.workflow.dom.VariableElement.setBoundValue(VariableElement.java:93) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataValue(PATExecutionCo ntextImpl.java:729) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataWithExpression(PATEx ecutionContextImpl.java:335) at com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.service.SetValueService.execute(SetValueService.java:46) ...

Insert XML Data Into An Existing PDF Form

I am working on an application, written with XHTML and JavaScript, and running on AIR, so it is a desktop application.
Users enter data into an XHTML form and upon submission I create an XML file of the data using JavaScript.
At any later time users will be able to open the XML file from the application. I will use JavaScript, again, to read the XML and fill in an XHTML form. But at this point I will provide a button for users to generate a PDF with the data. I would then like to insert the XML data into the appropriate fields of the existing PDF form. I would like to continue to do this from within the AIR application using JavaScript.
Is this possible?
What version of Acrobat would I need as the developer? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
What version of Acrobat would the end users need? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
Can this all be done using only JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK? Does using AIR offer any help (all Adobe products)?
When the end user clicks the generate PDF button would Acrobat have to open? Can this be done without the user seeing Acrobat open? Either way is ok, I would just like the user to see an alert saying that the file has be generated and point them to its location on the local machine. But again, this is not a requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Not asking for source code here, just if its possible. :)
I'll figure out the how.

You have two choices
1) You can use JavaScript in your AIR application to communicate with the JavaScript in the PDF to fill in the form directly. This can all be done inside of your AIR app. This is certainly the best route to go and there is (IIRC) a sample in the AIR SDK.
2) You can create an XFDF file from your XML data and then have Acrobat/Reader open the XFDF file to fill in the data.
Both methods will work with Acrobat and Reader - HOWEVER, Reader users won't be able to save the PDF unless it has been Reader Enabled.

Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form

Hi All
Excellent forum, and thanks for all the revealing insights so far viewed, however one question.I'm using a PDF form to collect info via email in the format of XML datafiles. I also have an identical PDF which has database connectivity and that works fine. It was suggested on this forum that I could then import the XML data into my Database via the DB-connected PDF, in effect a user form and one with DB connectivity. Now, I've checked the data types and they all match, but when I import XML file, it creates a blank record in the database and none of the information is carried through. Please could someone offer guidance on what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to figure this out for a week now?
Thanks
Steppe

Maybe it's because I'm replying by email, so I'll try the forums directly;

Split imported XML data into multiple text fields

I should first describe my final project because it is very possible that I am going about this entirely wrong!
I am trying to create an interactive PDF file which is the floor plan of our office, when you mouse over the office spaces it would popup the info for the person in that office, in fact when you click on the office space it would show additional info like computer MAC and jack numbers
I placed the floor plan as a layer and them created a second layer with no fill/no stroke rectangles over the offices and made them buttons (office01, office02)
I then made text fields with the info for the people, one for regular info and one for extra info (office01-data, office01-Xdata) I made these text fields buttons as well and had them "hidden until triggered"
These info fields are all on top of one another, as in the are all the same size and in teh same location
Then I went to the office buttons and created events "On Roll Over" "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms" and changed the visibility of the corresponding info button.
This works like a charm!
I hope I am clear up to this point.... my problem now is I would like to import this data both regular and extra from an excel spreadsheet or an XML file.
That way when we get new staff or people move offices or whatever I can update the spreadsheet or XML file, rerun my InDesign file and create a new interactive PDF
I have created the XML file
<staffMap>
 <staff>
 <name>John Doe</name>
 <computerName<gfth56df</computerName>
 <phoneMAC>00:08:00:AB:CD:EF</phoneMAC>
 </staff>
<staff>

Created a new InDesign document
Imported the XML and placed it in a text field
saved as a template and closed it
Reopen and import the XML data again... and it brings it all into the text field... wonderful and useful but not what I need.
Is it possible to import the XML data into separate test fields, or into some other separate field that I can make into a button and show/hide?
I may end up just entering all the data directly into InDesign as I know this will work, it just does not seem like the right way to do it.
Thanking you all in advance

I am still looking to get some help with this.
I would love to know if it is not possible or any ideas at all

Merging Excel data into a form created in LiveCycle

Hello,
I've made a form in LiveCycle. The first of the 5 pages I want to pre-populate with data before I distribute the final form. My data is in Excel and I have ensured that the header titles match the field names on the form. Could someone help me to get the data into the form please. I'm pretty new to xml and have found following the Help difficult.
Thanks
Scott

Please re-ask in the LiveCycle Designer forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_designer_es That is where people who use the Designer product hang out.

Importing data into dynamic form

I have not yet had a chance to work with LiveCycle, and I have been given a project which I need to determine if LiveCycle would be the correct solution. The client originally wanted this to be a Microsoft Word form, but I doubt that I can meet the requirements using Word.
I need to design a form which a user can enter multiple line items either manually, or by importing existing data. The data itself would be about 40-50 distinct pieces of data, in a block of several sections and multiple lines (i.e Name, Address block, Phone/fax/email, contact and comment section, etc) and would be a combination of text fields and checkboxes. There would be 2-3 of these blocks per page (with a static header/footer), plus a cover page with data fields for the organization using the form.
I know that I could create this type of dynamic form in LiveCycle to be entered manually, but I don’t know what options, if any, I would have in giving the user the ability to import existing data from an unknown source (could be a text file, a local or hosted database, excel, etc.).
My questions are about the feasibility of LiveCycle for this project:
Can data be imported from a data source the user chooses? Are there any limitations to what kinds of data sources can be used? Would I need to program a custom function to allow the user to match the proper fields for the import, or is there a built in function to handle this?
Would there be any platform/application limitations? Can the form be used with Reader on a desktop computer (Mac or PC), or on a tablet (and if so, is a specific app necessary instead of the default app)?
Are there any other foreseeable issues I may have to deal with?

Thanks for the info. A few followup questions if you don't mind:
1. Needs to configure an ODBC-connection on every system it is used.
This form will be sent to our client, and they will send it to their customers. Can the connection setup be scripted, or is it simple enough that a generic set of instruction can be given to the end user to allow them to setup the connection and map their fields to the form's content easily?
2. Requires Acrobat or a reader-enabled from to use in Reader. Data is automatically populated in the form fields. Only xml files for import allowed. Allows to use XSLT to format imported data.
I doubt that the end user would have their data in a compatible XML format, so this option may not be necessary. Is Reader-enabling a form in LiveCycle comparable to the process in Acrobat? I have heard LiveCycle Enterprise is very expensive and required for certain functions, does this apply here? Does this require a specific server setup for these forms?
3. Difficult scripting to update field values automatically. Works in Reader and Acrobat.
The data would not need to be updated automatically, just pull current data into the form. This would be a one-way operation, there would be no need to update the data source from values within the form. I would still need to give the user a way to map their fields to the form.
Are you aware of any tutorials or example files that would help give me a start? I had a brief look at the LiveCycle Designer ES2 Scripting Reference, but I"m not sure which objects to look into.
None of these methods will work on mobile devices as there is currently no support of XFA in Reader Mobile.
Good to know. The same is probably true if I were to create the form in Word/Office.

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

Xml data into non-xml database.. solution anyone?

Hi,
My current project requires me to store the client's data on our servers. We're using Oracle9i. Daily, I will download the client's data for that day and load it into our database. My problem is that the data file is not a flat file so I can't use sql*loader to load the data. Instead, the data file is an xml file. What is the best way to load xml data into a non-xml database? Are there any tools similar to sql*Loader that will load xml data into non-xml database? Is it the best solution for the client to give me an XML dump of their data to load into our database, or should I request a flat file? My last resort would be to write some sort of a script to parse the xml data into a flat file, and then run it through sql*loader. Is this the best solution? One thing to note is that these files could be very large.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that just putting the XML file into an
extremely large VARCHAR field is not what you want.
Instead, you want to extract data elements from the
XML and write them to columns in a table in your
database. Right?Yes. Your assumption is correct.
It sounds like you already have a script that loads a
flat file into your database. In that case I would
write an XSL transformation that converts the client's
XML into a correctly-formatted flat file.Thank you. I'll look into that. Other suggestions are welcome.

How to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column

how to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column.
xml data is coming from java front end
if we cannot use clob than what are the different options available

Are you facing any issue with my code?
String lateral size error will come when you try to insert the full xml in string format.
public static boolean writeCLOBData(String tableName, String id, String columnName, String strContents) throws DataAccessException{
boolean isUpdated = true;
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = ConnectionManager.getConnection ();
//connection.setAutoCommit ( false );
PreparedStatement PREPARE_STATEMENT = null;
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE " + tableName + " SET " + columnName + " = ? WHERE ID =" + id;
PREPARE_STATEMENT = connection.prepareStatement ( sqlQuery );
// converting string to reader stream
Reader reader = new StringReader ( strContents );
PREPARE_STATEMENT.setClob ( 1, reader );
// return false after updating the clob data to DB
isUpdated = PREPARE_STATEMENT.execute ();
PREPARE_STATEMENT.close ();
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
finally{
return isUpdated;
Try this JAVA code.
