Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to fill the content similar to InDesign?
Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to fill the content similar to InDesign?
The only way I see that this would be possible through the use of JS that you can insert by using the object-> the option Insert HTML code, you can retrieve the XML to the HTML from here - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_to_html.asp
In order to check this, simply download the sample XML file from the following location - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml and save it somewhere locally. Now to add this file to your Muse project using the file-> add files to the download option, then it appears in the active panel.
Add the code to your page and update the path that references the file cd_catalog.xml to assets/cd_catalog.xml. Now on the preview of the page in the browser, you should see the HTML populated from the XML.
Thank you

strange behivor on public pages with automatically filled the field
Hello
I created a page (APEX 3.0) where I have two field, name/wwid, name is a LOV, when I choose the LOV NAME, the page is automatically populated with wwid field, I followed this thread (used AJAX...) and it works fine as LONG AS I'm not the public page, but when I make it PUBLIC, it no longer works, the field wwid always returns null it
Does anyone have a similar experience or ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance
MikeOf course
In your javascript, you have something like this:
get var = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getDet',0);
The value 0 is the page number. You can edit your public page, and then it would be pointless to have a public page 0.
Try and tell me if it worked.

Is it possible to automatically move cadratins far left side of the text box?
Hi, I'm using indesign cs5. I was wondering if there is a way to ensure an em dash does not appear on the left side of the page in a book, without having to go through each section and their bump to the next or previous line on the same line manually.
If the cadratins appear in the middle of a block of copy (and not the first character of a paragraph, you can find and replace "word space + em dash ' with 'space nonbreaking Word + em dash')

Hello
I made PDF form that contains Radiobutton, TextBox, Button, CheckBox and barcodes in Adobe Acrobat Pro and everything works well.
But according to the new requirement I need to "Autogenerate" some fields such as Radiobutton, text field and CheckBox by clicking on the button "add a field"and clicking on the button of the control should get auto generate this PDF form.
Additional text that is already added to the PDF form get flow down when the fields if auto generate at the top of the form.
Thanks in advance.
You can add fields with a script (or show/hide existing fields), but you can not re-flow static PDF file text, unless it was created in LiveCycle Designer.

Is it possible to sort messages in WLM by more than one field at a time?
Sort messages in Windows Live Mail
As the help "?" button in the desktop app Windows Live Mail is no help whatsoever *, after much research I landed at MS Answers. Hope someone here can answer what I believe is a simple enough question, although well beyond the capabilities of the foregoing under construction using WLM... Here goes-
Is it possible to sort messages in WLM by more than one field at a time?
If I sort my messages received by the field 'From' - by clicking on the field header (whenever you click the header, it changes to alphabetical, reverse alphabetical order) - by default each group of messages from the same sender are listed in order by date/time, earlier at the latest, from top to bottom (opposed to the default order when the messages are sorted by date and time upon arrival which puts the last (most recent) mail messages has received at the top). After you sort messages by sender, is it possible to then sort these messages grouped by date, with the newest messages at the top of the list?
* Is there a procedure/channel "correct" to say Microsoft's help on the web for MS Office & other apps - like Windows Live Mail - how useless? In the interest of Microsoft, this gap & go back to the built-in Office 2000 help, etc., with an option to get help online, i.e. through the Forums, if the system cannot answer your question.

Import data from Excel in PDF with Acrobat Pro XI - is it possible? How?
I need to be able to create a pdf file where certain information can be merged to an Excel spreadsheet in the pdf file so that our land use specialists can use tablets to fill the field. I also need to be able to create a field where the user can join or import a jpg file. Is it possible to do this with Acrobat Pro XI? Another program is necessary. I need to know the answers to my questions by January 28, 2016.
Hi shannonr80675036,
Yes, but you there are two things you need to do in Excel for this to work:
Columns must be named the same as the field names in the PDF form. The names that you use in your PDF form, or you must change the names of fields in the PDF form so that they correspond to the column names in Excel, you can either match. In this example, I took the first approach and used the field names as my column headings:
When you export your data to Excel file, you must select the "Tab Delimited Text" format. It is one of the export options in Excel (and other spread sheet applications) which is available when you select file > save as:
Once you have your tabs-delimited text file, open your PDF form, and then select Tools > forms > more form Options and click Import:
In the file dialog box, select this option to import a text file, browse to your exported text file and select it. In the next screen, you can then choose what import record, you can import only one record at a time:
This will complete the PDF form with the selected values:
That, for each record you have in your Excel file and save the PDF file under a new name.
Kind regards

I created a form that uses the JavaScript for the auto tab. Is it possible for me to format the fields to accept only numbers?
______________
Here's the Format Script
______________
Function at the level of the document
function tab_next (Text5) {}
Move to the next field relied on entry
or the user has clicked outside the scope
or if the number of the character is the character limit
If (event.willCommit |) AFMergeChange (event) .length = event.target.charLimit) {}
getField (Text5) .setFocus ();
}
}
____________
Here's the script of strike
____________
AutoTab to the field 'Rem5 '.
tab_next ("Text5");
The classical function "goNext", JavaScript - setFocus method for the tab to the next form field , used control built-in number format.
AutoTab (doc, event, cNext) function
{
Calling the routine integrated to allow only numbers.
AFNumber_Keystroke (0, 0, 0, 0, "", true);
If we have filled the field completely, skip to the next.
If (event.rc & AFMergeChange (event) .length == event.target.charLimit)
doc.getField (cNext) .setFocus ();
}
The custom keystroke script:
AutoTab (this, event, "Rem5");
Be sure to set the limit of characters for the field. You can also add the script of blur:

Possible to divide a large multi-page pdf (in the same pdf?)
I have a few good newspapers which have been digitised - problem is they come is like a loooong page in the pdf file. Is it possible to split it into several 8.5 x 11 pages in Acrobat, or do I need special software?
Depends on what you have and the amount of length (a matter of time). The easiest way is to use the crop tool to get a page of value and save it, then repeat for the next page, etc. Once all pages are saved, you can back up their return. So you should use redax or such (print to a new PDF in a pinch) to remove the cropped parts. As I said, it's a bit long, but he can do the job. There are faster ways likely and possibly some products of 3 part that can do the job too.

Is it possible to automate this type of snippet indented?
Is it possible to automate this type of snippet indented with a vertical row of dots in the left margin? I have a manuscript of 600 000 words with this type of snippet running across it. Author has set up as a separate style in the manuscript, but she throws herself with normal text. Someone has an idea how this could be implemented under the paragraph style or other thing INDD roadmap? Using INDD CC thanks!
If you want: a paragraph with this fully automatic effect style, you will need to ParagraphBorder, from DTPUtils, because InDesign doesn't know how to do it!

It is very important. any comments would be very useful for me.
