Create a form block, merger and retrieve form data

I am new to acrobat and impossible to find a starting point for what I want to accomplish.  I have a directory with 1000's single-page PDF files (file names are data_0001.pdf, data_0002.pdf, etc.).

For each single page pdf, I want to integrate a form with a list of radio button containing several options and a comment text box.

Every page needs a single form ID that may be associated with the original PDF, one page.

I want to merge all the single page with format pdf files embedded in a single multiple page pdf file.

A user views the pdf file of several page and selects the option button and adds comments on each page and saves the pdf file.

I would then like to export a spreadsheet file or csv of three columns with columns from the saved pdf file

'the original pdf file name' 'result of the list of the radio button' 'zone comment text '.

I need to make at least 100 times, so that each step must be scripted.

Can someone provide a link to what anyone remotely close to the workflow steps needed to achieve this with acrobat.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can use a batch process to add form fields to each PDF. You should do field for each unique page names, so that when you combine individual pages in a single PDF file, the form will behave properly. You can base the field names in each PDF file on the name of the original file to achieve this. To add field with a script in a batch sequence, use the JavaScript doc.addField method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.435.html

You can then combine the single page PDF files with fields of form in a single PDF file, or by using an external script (for example, VBScript) or a script in Acrobat, but you would need the list of files to be combined, especially if you care about the order of the pages. Acrobat also has the function of "file > combine > merge files into a single PDF", but I can't say that it will work to combine that several shapes at once, so you'll just have to see.

Regarding the export of data, this may also be film script. I would say that the script can create the data file that is added to the document as an attached file (data object), which can then be extracted. Creating a tab separated text file is simpler that ensuring a properly built CSV, that's what I'd be inclined to do. A user is not able to enter a tab character into a form field, so you shouldn't have a problem with that. See the documentation for createDataObject for more information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html

Good luck

  • How to create registration form data Matrix

    Hi all



    I want to create a form in the style of the matrix. Example: < strong > emp < facilities > table I would like to display / enter the No. Dept < strong > vertically < facilities > and < strong > locations horizontally < facilities >.



    Example is shown below:



    < strong > < em > DEPT < /em > 10 20 30 40

    < em > Loc < /em > < / strong >



    NY < strong > < facilities > XX YY ZZ OO



    < Strong > CA < facilities > AA BB CC DD



    < Strong > < facilities > CC AA PP OO



    Can the ease with which I I create? Is there a property to set the data as an array, so that I can create the data block so easily? Also all data must be updated in the table.

    Create a datablock on a "query from clause' as

    (
    SELECT 1 LOCATION_ID,
           1 DEPT1,
           1 DEPT2,
           1 DEPT3,
           1 DEPT4,
           1 DEPT5
      FROM DUAL
    )
    

    Use as many dummy columns as you plan enter as a "horizontal" group, I guess just 5 to keep things simple.

    In the PRE-QUERY-trigger of the block of rewrite the query 'from clause' as

    DECLARE
      CURSOR crDept IS
        SELECT DEPARTMENT_ID
          FROM DEPARTMENTS
          ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_ID;
      vcQuery VARCHAR2(32000):='(SELECT LOCATION_ID,';
      i PLS_INTEGER:=0;
    BEGIN
      FOR rec IN crDept LOOP
        i:=i+1;
        vcQuery:=vcQuery || ' SUM(CASE WHEN d.DEPARTMENT_ID='  || TO_CHAR(rec.DEPARTMENT_ID || ' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS DEPT' || TO_CHAR(i) || ',';
      END LOOP;
      -- cut last comma
      vcQuery:=SUBSTR(vcQuery, 1, LENGTH(vcQuery)-1);
      vcQuery:=vcQuery || ' FROM departments d, employees e where d.department_id=e.department_id GROUP BY LOCATION_ID)';
    
      SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('MYBLOCK', QUERY_DATASOURCE_NAME, vcQuery);
    END;
    

    Now, if you run a query on your block, the query will be rewritten to get the sum of each Department until column, each row contains the amounts for a place.

    To run, you would have to deal with some additional tasks such as hiding / display of unused columns in the layout...

    I hope this helps.

  • Create a column of substr and retrieve all other columns

    Hello

    I need to create a view (not a materialized view, but a logical view) on a table and must use substr() on one of the columns all show all remaining columns in addition to this column substr. I don't know if this is even possible. I am using Oracle 10 g R10.2.0.4.0 here is an example of what I'm looking for:

    I have an EMPLOYEE table that has columns EMPID, EMP_FNAME, EMP_LNAME, EMP_CITY

    and say that I have given here as: 24223, ROGER SMITH, BOSTON

    and when I create this view I see 5 columns returned in my results such as: 242, 24223, ROGER SMITH, BOSTON

    for what would be the query: "SELECT SUBSTR(EMPID,2,4) AS EMPNUMBER, EMPID, EMP_FNAME, EMP_LNAME, EMP_CITY FROM EMPLOYEE '.

    However, in my table there are more than 30 columns, so maybe it's not practical to each of these 30 columns in addition to the column specify I use substr() on in the SELECT statement to retrieve the lines. So, is there a way I can do this without specifying each column in the table? Obviously, ' SELECT SUBSTR(EMPID,2,4) AS EMPNUMBER, * of EMPLOYEE ' would not work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best,
    Anil.

    You are approaching this the wrong way.  Create an external table based on the file.  External tables are CSV, fixed width data in a queryable table.

    You will need to create an oracle directory to put the file in (MY_ORA_DIR) I leave it for you to do, and then perform the following...

    create table BASELINE)

    ITEM_ID varchar2 (32)

    )

    EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION

    (

    LOGFILE "dinput.log".

    BADFILE "dinput.bad."

    NODISCARDFILE

    FIELDS

    (

    ITEM_ID

    )

    )

    LOCATION ("dinput.txt")

    )

    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED

    /

    All the dubious records appear in dinput.bad. Dinput.log will give you information.

    External tables are read-only, so once you set up your file, you can create editable as a normal table.

    create table ITABLE_EDITABLE as

    Select * from BASELINE

    /

    Work done, a few lines of code.

  • What is the difference btw: block.item and $item.block.item.value in State of form customization


    Hello

    What is the difference btw: block.item and $item.block.item.value in the customization of the form State section

    I've seen this condition as

    triggering event

    the point at which instance

    : PRESS RELEASE. PICKING_RULE not in the ('US_CB_1', 'US_CC_1', 'US_CA_1', 'US_CU_1')

    and

    When the point instacne

    ${item.release.picking_rule.value} not in ('US_CB_1', 'US_CC_1', 'US_CA_1', 'US_CU_1')

    the two are the same or different

    Thanks in advance

    In the particular example that you use, no difference, you are getting the value and comparing it with a set of values.

    The second form of the syntax, however, take into account what follows, while the first only retrieves the value of the field:

    Conditions can refer to properties of objects using a SPEL (simplest Possible Expression Language) syntax. For example, allows you to create a Condition that tests whether a field is displayed or not. These expressions take the following general form:

    ${objectType.objectName.Property}

    Internally, the expression of SPEL is a cover for Oracle Forms builtins like GET_ITEM_PROPERTY, GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY, etc. In addition, expressions of SPEL are supported recovery values of profile, the dictionary of text messages and local Variables (described later).

  • Combination of fields on the form to create a line of message and subject

    I have a few fields on my form I want to combine and create a line of message and the subject of.

    The fields are FirstName and LastName

    Using these two I want a topic saying something like "it's a form BLAH

    First name + name

    And something similar to a message on e-mail. As cc their email so that they get a copy of the form

    Is it possible

    Hello

    In my original example, I have a TextField object, called subjectLine. If your form does not have this object, then the script will fail, because Acrobat/Reader knows not what subjectLine is (for example, it is undefined).

    If you look at the original example, I want to build a subject line in the electronic mail using the TextField subjectLine. That's why I first test to make sure that the subjectLine TextField is not null.

    Where in your case you should be stable that FirstName and LastName is not zero, because these are the two objects that you use to create your subject line of the message.

    So for this part of the script, it's what I expected:

    // Check subject line field and extend error message
    if (form1.p1.subUserInformation.FirstName.rawValue == null || form1.p1.subUserInformation.LastName.rawValue == null)
    {
         errorMessage = errorMessage + "\n - please provide your first name and last name.";
    }
    else
    {
         vSubject = "Completed: Structure Change Form " + form1.p1.subUserInformation.FirstName.rawValue + " " + form1.p1.subUserInformation.LastName.rawValue;
    }
    

    Then the last script block checks all the options that are used to form the email and either send the email if they are all not null or gives the error message to the user:

    // If fields required for script are null, warn user and do not initiate email
    if (emailAddress.rawValue == null || form1.p1.subUserInformation.FirstName.rawValue == null || form1.p1.subUserInformation.LastName.rawValue == null)
    {
         xfa.host.messageBox(errorMessage, "Sending an email", 0, 0); // Send out a custom error message if any of these fields are null
    }
    else
    {
         // Everything is OK, send email
         event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: "+ vEmail +"?subject=" + vSubject +"&body=" + vBody + vCC,cSubmitAs:vFormat,cCharset:"utf-8"});
    }

  • Create the form for enrty of data such as oracle forms tabular block by ADF Table!

    Hi guru and Experts

    I need some solutions for Oracle JDeveloper11g which is very essential for me.

    + Q1. Is it possible to create a form master detail which block detailed will be a tabular as like oracle forms . If possible I such example? +

    Q2. How can I create a preview to the point like oracle forms overview at the point of tables?

    Q3. How can I add LOV/list items / check for a table/table column?

    Q4. If it is possible to insert a new record in the table of the ADF, so I need to save all your data by pressing a key SAVE event


    I wish you all already taken I want developed. Please give me a better solution.



    Thank you.
    Zed
    ====

    A correction to the above – if you want the table to be modified/inserted you cannot drag and drop as a master-detail, because the detail will be in read only mode.
    Instead first drag the captain and drop as a form of ADF
    Then, drag the details below and drop it as Table of ADF.

    You can drag since the operations node in the data control the operation createInsert to add a button that will add a new empty row to the table.
