Import Excel data into Form Designer

I developed a dynamic form in Livecycle designer that will be sent to hundreds of schools throughout Nebraska.  There is a table in this form that has buttons to add or remove a line while dependent students informtion can be entered in this table. How I shape now works perfect for most schools, however; with the largest schools that will enter in over 200 different lines of information, it will be a long unessarily task.  Most of these schools already have the information that we solicit in an Excel file.  Is it possible for an end user of this form, using the adobe reader software to import excel data into the table?

-Susann Wenzel

It is possible, but you will find may be more difficult than what it's worth.

1. you must manipulate the worksheet to make it look like a DB

2. you must set up an ODBC connection on the system running the form and the worksheet...

3. you would have to change to point to the worksheet from the definition

4. you wish Reader the form using LiveCYcle Reader Extensions to allow the ODBC connection occurs in the drive.

  • Import Excel data into Dreamweaver

    Hello everyone, I'll try to be as descriptive as I can with what I want.

    In short: I would like to be able to have the date of importation of Dreamweaver (CS5) of cell A1 in the html code.

    More details: I have an ever-changing list of links that I would like the list to a Web site. And have auto update it in dreamweaver everytime I update the list in excel

    for example, I put in Dreamweaver < a href = "(insert)" > link 1 < /a >

    where see you (insert) I would like to be able to import the address of the link I have in cell a1 in my Excel spreadsheet.

    So overall I would like

    < a href = "(insertA1)" > link 1 < /a >

    < a href = "(insertA2)" > Link 2 < /a >

    < a href = "(insertA3)" > link 3 < /a >

    etc.

    How can I tell Dreamweaver to insert this single cell in the spot in html and then move on to the list of others the same way?

    I am a novice with html, css, so I use Dreamweaver for the first time to try to make this a little easier to follow.

    > Using a database that I would be able to choose certain sections of the list to be used by page

    Sure. Your table may contain a column that specifies what (category) page the link should appear on. Your request for this page would include a filter that returns only relevant links.

    > What would you suggest that I use to create data bases?

    You would use any DBMS provides your host. Most likely, this will be my MySQL.

  • Create a PDF template to use import Excel data

    I created a 'cover' page in Acrobat. I want this to be a template where I can import Excel data and insert my signature before sending it to our customers. It is a management report. How can I do this as efficiently as possible? So far I have converted each of these Excel files to PDF from Excel, open the cover.pdf, inserted the Excel file converted and inserted my signature and the text.

    Here's wat I
       - Excel file on local computer.
       - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
       - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
       - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
       
     
    Here's wat I want to do... .i don't know if its possible
        - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
       
    SQLLOADER could be an option... but I don't want to go the unix server to place files and newspapers and stuff.

    Wat will be the best option and the easiest to do? and wat format better convert excel csv or txt or tab delimited etc...


    If you suggest sqlloader, any example of code will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Toad version 9.0.0.160, you can directly load data excel file (or any other specified) to table using the navigation "database > import > import the data in the table.
    You need to connect to the database, then go to the above navigation. Select the table, validation interval (i.e. commit after each record or once all records), map columns in excel file to your table and press ok.
    It loads data directly to your table.

    But, if you use characters multibyte (such as Chinese) in excel file you want to load, then you must make some settings in your machine.

    Don't know if its possible in another version of Toad.

  • Help to import Excel data in tables preformattes

    This is my first post here, so please be gentle!

    I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I created the list price of the manufacturer 70 - pg.  A very large part of each page will be of size and price information source of a large Excel spreadsheet.

    I created the table format I would use for each page, but the problem comes when I import the Excel data in this table.  For some reason, when I import, all this turns in a cell.  It would be preferable to import into a table not formatted and then put in the form table every time, or is there a way to simply import data into my preformatted table?  I've seen how the former, but the latter seems much easier (.. .Although that could be my inexperience talking).

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Laura (V1500)

    To paste a range of cells in the way you want, you have most of the steps down.

    The key point is to select the CELL at the top left of the area you want to paste into. See the screenshot below. The first cell in the range of rates is selected.

    You may simply move the active cursor in the cell. This puts the contents of the Clipboard into this one cell.

  • I can't import audio data into Flash pro Cs5

    I can't import audio data Flash Pro Cs5, I'm new to Flash pro and I'm working on an interactive story, I need audio that I download from incompetech.com. MP3s are fine and play in windows Mp3, but when I try to bring them into Flash I get a message saying that it can't import them and does not say why. I have looked at this but impossible to find an answer, I work with windows 7, flash Cs5 64 bits in actionscript 2.0 and I do not have a good editior just flash.

    This usually means that there is a problem of sampling rate.

    Load your mp3 into a sound editor and then export it using the standard settings.

  • Importing bulk data into Oracle - with restrictions

    Hello

    I am trying to insert data from a stream (inside the ETL tool) of bulk in Oracle via a stored procedure, but under many restrictions. Hope you can help.

    Oracle 10 g database is.

    There is up to 1 000 000 records of about 100 bytes each, through delivery, to about 200 000 000 per day.

    Target table:

    CREATE TABLE TBL_STG
    ("KEY", NUMBER (13.0),)
    "ATT_1" NUMBER (1.0).
    NUMBER (14.0) "TIMESTAMP."
    "ATT_2" NUMBER (14.0).
    "ATT_3" NUMBER (14.0).
    "ATT_4" NUMBER (2.0).
    "ATT_5" NUMBER (1.0)
    )

    I can easily convert the stream of input documents in a collection (list separated by commas, for example) with the ETL tool that I use. I then call the stored procedure with the collection of records (delimiter: comma) as one of the parameters.

    The problem is that I am using the ETL tool in slightly modified middle (emulation of continuous treatment) which greatly limits my possibilities to load data into Oracle.

    Basically, I can't use utilities (for example, SQL * Loader), except when writing to disk first! Neither the tool provided support for the api.

    I'm now calling a stored procedure with a collection set however it gives the problem types are NOT taken in charge the following data:

    Nested table, VARRAY/ANYTYPE: gives an error of type 108 unknown column
    index - by table (old style): unknown col.tp. 152
    Clob/NCLOB: unkn.col.tp 112
    BLOB: 113

    All I have left is the stored procedure:

    LONG BELIEVED, GROSS, LONG.

    These data types are not recommended, but at least still supported by 10g.

    So where did that my question, in these circumstances, could you provide me with assistance towards passing the RAW collection /... and interpreting it as a digital table in Oracle. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Import text data into text with script level file fields


    I use Adobe 9 professional and have a level of javascript file import text into the existing fields of a pdf document.

    There are several fields with multiple lines of data to import.

    The folder level script does not work (but there is no error in the console showing when operating)

    I manually tested the file opening text with the following code in the console and the text file opens and fills text fields, so the text file must be correct:

    this.importTextData ();

    The following code is the folder level script that does not work:

    function mailmergeFunction()

    {


    Import the first line of data of "Mailmerge.txt".

    this.importTextData ("of/h/mailing/Jo Smith Things / Mailmerge.txt", 0)


    If (typeof cnt == 'undefined') cnt = 0;
    this.importTextData ("of/h/mailing/Jo Smith Things / Mailmerge.txt", cnt ++ % 4)

    }


    app.trustedFunction (mailmergeFunction);

    app.addToolButton ({cName: "Mailing", cExec: "mailmergeFunction ()", cTooltext: "Mailing", cEnable: true, NPO: 14});

    If anyone can please provide assistance, it will be more appreciated thanks.

    Try using an app.beginPriv () just before the importTextData statement and a statement of app.endPriv () afterwards. Don't forget to restart Acrobat after you change the JavaScript file.

  • Can you import excel data metadata to images (JPG, PSD, TIF) in bulk?

  • Importing data into Oracle Apex

    Hello

    I have an obligation to provide a screen to the user where they can import excel data to an existing table and I saw a feature in the workshop of data in Oracle Apex, but I can't use that since I have extra things added into that must. The requirment is mentioned below,

    (1) need a screen where the user can select the excel file and start the import of a temporary table without validation
    (2) the data from the temporary table must be visible to the format of form Multi line in the screen and the user must be able to modify the data
    (3) the need for a feature or a screen mapping where the user can map the temporary table to the original table column before you pass data to the original (as data) table
    (4) the data should be transferred in the original table and the respective data should be deleted from the temporary table (in case if an error occurs, error record must appear in a temporary table up to less than the user of the corrected data into the original table)
    (5) need to add different types of validation, update the record in the original record if same id is available or insert a record value, non-zero, etc...

    Please suggest me how can I do this in the Apex.
