Filling in PDF with FDF data gives me square blocks

Hello

I am filling a form with fdf data using pdftk, but whenever I do, it gives me square instead of the actual text characters. Does anyone know why it does this?

I use the Arial font

The first thing I would try is to select Helvetica for the police to a field. It will be at the top of the list of fonts.

    How reference to the ListView object with the name "listView" in different parts of the MyApp.cpp file? Is there anything else I should add to the header file to make the accessible listView?

    Question 3:

    What happens when you call the clear() method? How the data model is affected? How the user interface is affected? What happens in memory?

    Question 4:

    How do you verify that the data in the list has been deleted so that you can go ahead and fills again with new data? What is the cheque that I perform?

    I would also like to know how you manage multiple views of lists and data sources in your applications. Best practices or ideas?

    Thank you

    I was able to clear the listview with the following code, if anyone is interested.

    listView.dataModel = null
    

    The dataModel must be set to "null".

  • How to create an interactive PDF with variable data

    We basically have a "mail merge" to our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc. - not only form fill and web links) to create a single PDF that contains several pieces of mail... one for each customer... with each total mail being customized for this customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Bob dear, dear Dana, etc), as well as the different graphs based on unique data to the client, photographs, etc.

    I saw that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  But I don't understand how I can insert data into a database, csv, excel etc. in the PDF file file so that each page, or each set of pages in the PDF file can be customized.

    Can someone tell me a tool to use for this?

    Thank you

    Bob Kendall

    I'm new on this and didn't know InDesign could do a data merge, thank you for pointing that out.

    However, we currently produce hundreds of thousands of personalized daily electronic documents, a PDF file or Web user interaction (no, this isn't spam or junk mail).  Our customers have asked us to focus on the generation of personalized interactive PDFs and I fear that the volume could overwhelm InDesign.  My other concern is that all of our work performed automatically (we run hundreds every day) and it is not possible to have a person to sit down, then run InDesign manually for each job.  Our standard operating system need a certain version of unix (AIX or linux), although we can perform tasks under windows if necessary.  It seems, as InDesign will fit in this environment?  If not, is there something else out there?

    Thank you for your time.

    text file, with the names of the fields in the first row and values of

  • Fill a table with date values with a fixed increment

    Hello

    I want to fill a table with a date column with the increment of a fixed value date values. The start date is selectable, the increment is selectable and the number of records is adjustable as well.
    For example
    start date is 1905-Jan-02, 15:00 (DD-MON-YYYY, HH24:MI:SS)
    increment is 1 hour and 5 minutes
    None. records is 10
    then the dates in the table must be
    REC 1 1905 - Jan - 02, 15:00
    REC 2 1905 - Jan - 02, 16:05
    REC 3 1905 - Jan - 02, 17:10
    ....
    REC 9 1905 - Jan - 02, 23:40
    REC 10 1905 - Jan - 03, 00:45:00

    We are working on 11 GR 2, the number of records can be between a few hundred and a few million and they must be ordered with Crescent of time (maybe to have a whole id).
    Any ideas how to fill this table (simple and fast?) using sql / plsql are welcome.

    Thanks, Hannes

    Something along the lines of:

    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY-Mon-DD HH24:MI:SS';
    
    Session altered.
    
    SQL> select trunc(sysdate,'HH')+((rownum-1)*(1/24)*(65/60)) as dt
      2  from dual connect by rownum <= 20;

  • Cannot convert PDF form filled in Excel with data

    Hi all

    I've been struggling with the same problem for days now and any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

    A quick overview: we have created a PDF form in order to assess the specific events of marketing that is provided to all of our stores. Once an event occurs, they will fill the form and send it to the HQs (me). It is from there begins the problem: I want to then convert the filled PDF in Excel (to compare the data of all events), who works in general, but excel does not include data from the PDF and displays only the data of non - fill PDF form.

    The problem: I can convert my PDF with Acrobat Reader XI forms in Excel, but the data filled in the forms (which I want to see in Excel) are not included in Excel.

    I work with the operating system Windows 7 Professional and the graphics department created the PDF form in InDesign CC 2015.

    Thank you very much in advance and I hope that the info provided is sufficient.

    Best,

    Stefan

    Not with Acrobat Reader. With Adobe Acrobat, you can export the form data or flatten the form fields before you convert the shape.

  • I filled out all the fields with the data but could not save the file with the data.

    Please help because I do not restart and repopulate the data. I found that if I go in advance, then extend the functionality of Adobe Reader, I can fill in the form again and save and print it. But that's before I fill the data, now that I filled until I put it to extend the functionality, is there a way to save and print?

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    You cannot extend the reader a PDF with Adobe Reader form, it requires Acrobat Pro.

    Adobe Reader X and older versions cannot save a completed form is not extended to PDF, but it can be printed * in all cases.

    XI of Adobe Reader and Acrobat Reader DC can save and print * a PDF form completed, extended or not.

    Acrobat Pro or Standard (all versions) can save and print * a PDF form completed, extended or not.

    * Assuming no restriction file printing

  • Data merge problem - bad values when exporting PDF with "All folders" only

    Hi - I have the weirdest problem with InDesign: I use merge data from .csv to create a deck of cards (9 per page), and when I export to PDF from the data merge Panel, one of my field has erroneous data: it uses values from previous records and which repeat.

    What is strange, is that when the noticed, all right. Is also very good if I create a merged Document and PDF export. Is also very good if I export to PDF using just the range of entries it is play: I don't get that wrong data if export as PDF, "All records" in the data merge Panel.  Very frustrating!

    Someone saw? I feel that my data is ok, if the export of individual records is very well...

    Cheers for any help.

    Thank you! Which has me on the path to what looks like a fix...

    Copy all the fields in a new file does not solve the problem - the same behavior, but after the start of charges, I started to adjust the sizes of the fields and stumbled upon a possible solution.

    A field that trouble is a text box for a single digit, if limits are quite small. The name of the field for example placeholder. > is bigger and complained of cut-off text.  Increase the limits of the text box to be at least the size of the reliable placeholder text solves the problem. It decreases the size of a single digit... back of the problem.

    How weird.

    Thanks Peter.

  • Allow users of readers to save the form in pdf with data

    I want to create a form that a user of adobe reader can open and save a copy as a pdf with the form data. I know that requires the reader extensions - what I can't understand is if I already have this included and how. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download that I find myself searching LC with the reader extensions.

    Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know if the feature is available in the version I am running?

    You can add the right to drive Extesnion to save the form with the data locally in two different ways.

    1. in Acrobat Pro allows to open the screen and under the guise of Advanced/extend in Adobe Reader will guide you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users per license.

    2 LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that best you select the rights you want. There are no imitations luser to this option.

    If you do not have to either option 1 is much simpler. You can download a trial version of Acrobat Pro and try it out.
