Printing text in Gray color

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I have forms which are  printing all the grey color text in dark black, on xerox printers. When the output is of PS type, it works all well and good, but for PCL, it is printing all black.

 

I have been using hppcl5c.xdc for PCL. Do I need to have a xerox XDC? If yes, where can I get it or what changes do I need to make to the HP XDC in order to make it work?

 

 

 

Is there probably a specific property that needs to be changed in order to get the Gray text printed gray instead of black?

 

Is there anything else that I am probably not doing right?

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

Here is my XDC if you need:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xfa generator=

Creating solid lines

$

Hello - I would like to have a form that will have solid lines that will show when printed because the form may have to be filled out by hand. I would like the text box to flow with the solid lines of the form as well so if the user fills in the information online it will appear as though they have typed on the line. I already have the lines in the form but the text box with multi line does not follow the lines properly. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Merging of PDF document per Java API

Hi there,

I have to merge a lot of PDF documents to a single one.
I've found a solution using the AssemblerServiceClient with a ddx file.
Is there another possibility? The ddx-solution is not very handy for that quite simple task.

Any ideas?

Hi.

 

We have a JetForms/Solaris installation and we are thinking migrate to LC Output/Windows

 

We need to know the following:

 

1.- What are the steps involved in the migration 

2.- What we needed to migrate our templates (.ifd) and data files (.dat) to LC Output?

 

Thanks in advance.

In the JS guide this.print is used as an example like the one below.  I get TypeError: this.print is not a function when I try to use this.print on a button click event.  I"m trying to print to pdf to remove any db connections which always error out when the form is opened by anyone but me since the connection is only local.  Someone said I might try printing to pdf and this is the script I found in the JS Guide.  Should this work for me from a function in config.js in a trusted folder.  All the other functions in this file work fine.

 

   var printmenowtopdf = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,two,three) {

       app.beginPriv();

    var myPath = app.getPath("user", "documents") + "/_pdf/" + three + two + "_" + myDateString() + ".pdf";

        this.print({

            bUI: false,

            printerName:"Adobe PDF",

            fileName:myPath,

            bSilent: true,

            bShrinkToFit: true,

        });

   app.endPriv();

   });

 

thanks for your help

Is Output ES3 the right choice?

$

Hello. My company has asked me to search a solution for doing the following things.

 

-We already have the form designed with LiveCycle Designer.

-Now we have to prefill/merge the form with data from an xml document.

-In the xml, there are lots of data for creating different forms. I mean, there is the data from thousands of different people and the data from each person will go into a single form.

Then I have been asked to generate these pdf forms (around 10000) already prefilled.

 

We only have LC Designer, and I assume this can't be done with Designer and we will need something like Forms or Production Print.

 

What I thought is that I have to buy the suite, install a LiveCycle Server and then use the module that allows me to do that.

I have searched a lot in the forums and Adobe's site, but I don't know exactly what I should do.

 

Could someone give me a hand in what should I do?

 

Thanks in advance.

PDF Generator - Error Occerued During Native App Invocation

ALC-PDG-016-004-Error occurred during native application invocation

I receive this error message when trying to convert a DOC to a PDF. At first I was trying to do this as part of a workflow, but then determined that the issue is bigger. I get the exact same error when attempting to convert a DOC to a PDF in the Admin UI.

I've been doing a lot of research and cannot find a solution. Here are some details: I CAN convert a JPG to a PDF using the Admin UI. We do have a turnkey installation of LiveCycle ES 8.0 on a Windows Server 2003 environment. We do have MS Office 2003 installed on the server. I also attempted a TXT file and it gave me the same error.

Obviously the error indicates that whatever part of MS Office/Word it is trying to invoke to make the conversion is not working. I tried looking up the user that runs JBOSS and giving that user full access permission to WinWord.exe and that didn't do it. Am I on the right track? Perhaps LiveCycle calls a different file than WinWord.exe?

I don't think our MS Office install is a problem because it is a standard install and functions just fine on its own. Note, that if I create a new Word doc in Word, I AM able to save it as a PDF using the Adobe toolbar.

Has anyone seen this or have any idea what the issue could be???

Thank you so much!

How to print non XFA pdf from LC

$

Hi,

I am aware that this is not neccessary a LC Output question,but could not find a better place for it

I cannot find a service in LC ES2 that can print a normal (non XFA) pdf to a printer – can this be true?? If it is an XFA form, we can use the generatePrintedOutput and create PCL or PS depending on the target printer. But how would you do it with a flat pdf with watermark or a word document converted to pdf on LC??

Must be alot of clever people having solved this issue outthere, bring it on

Thanks,

Merging XML and XDP files

Hello!

 

I must build this POC for a client and the idea is merge XML and XPD files to feed a LiveCycle Output process and create PDF files.

 

I've built the XDP files and the XML to start things, now I need to figure out how to create the process to merge them in Workbench.

 

Is there any tutorial to help me with this task?

 

Thank you for any ideas!

how that attach to a Print button in my file. The script will check all the fields in all the pages and then decide which ones should be printed. It can also set all the empty fields to become hidden when the pages are printed.

 

eg:

i have five page and 30 field for page but the client filled only three for page, when this click to printing is not happy for 5 page,  need only one page and only only the field is filled

 

understand me ? sorry for my inglish is poor. and thank

We have several custom fonts being used in PDFs we're rendering using the Forms Service RenderPDFForm API. Rather than require consumers of these PDFs to have those fonts installed, we'd like to embed them in the PDFs being generated. Is it possible to embed fonts using RenderPDFForm?

Hi Folks,

 

I've got a form which uses fragments.This form previews fine in the designer, but when I try to run it using generatePDF Output in a process, the parts that come from the fragments are gone.

 

The following entries are in the log:

Mailing Labels

I need to create mailing/address labels.  There will be multiple addressees and most likely mutiple pages using Avery 5160.  We are using coldfusion as the front end and oracle as the backend.  My thought is to use an avery 5160 template which I found on the web, insert text fields for the database fields and somehow merge.  But I'm not sure if this is the right way to approach it OR if this is the way to approach it...how?  Do I set up each label with the text fields for the name, address etc. this would be 3 labels across and 10 down for a total of 30? We have Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 and Acrobat Prof 9 to use.

 

Thanks,

Sherry


can we assemble XFA and Flatten pdfs?

$

Hi,

I am not sure if assembler can create a XFA + Flatten pdf to a XFA form.

I want to assemble a pdf1 (xfa)  with pdf2 (flatten) to produce a pdf3.

 

Pdf3 should not be completely xfa or flatten, so that i can submit pdf3 on hit of button and extract out xml out of it.

 

PDF1 is an application form

PDF2 is just instruction page, so i want to keep it as flatten to reduce size of this pdf.

 

PD3 should be XFA cum flatten, so when it is rendered to user and user clicks on submit button. It will submit the entire pdf.

 

Please let me know how do i do using assembler.

Using DDX to assemble an XFA Form from several xdp files

$
0

Hi all,

 

I have a number of forms that I need to merge with data and assemble into one XFA-based PDF.

 

Currently I use the following ddx:

 

<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">

    <PDF result="ContainerPDF">

         <PDF source="file:///C:\Dispatcher\Forms\form0001.xdp"/>

            <XFAData>

                    <My Data XML>

                         ...

                    </My Data XML>

            </XFAData>

         <NoForms/>

     </PDF>

         <PDF source="file:///C:\Dispatcher\Forms\form0002.xdp"/>

            <XFAData>

                    <My Data XML2>

                         ...

                    </My Data XML2>

            </XFAData>

         <NoForms/>

     </PDF>

   </PDF>

</DDX>

 

This works, but obviously gives me a NON-XFA Form - I have tried taking out the <NoForms> tag but this gives me an error saying that the "baseDocument cannot be assembled because it is an XFA-based form".

 

What do I need to change (the xdp?, the ddx or something else?) to get out an XFA-based form from Assembler.

 

Thanks in advance

Dynamically Setting the Position of a Subform

$
0
0

 

Hello there

I am trying to solve an issue with the dynamic positioning of a subform not working when the form is rendered from a process.

I have a flowed XDP based form with a variable amount of content, and a “totals” subform that needs to be positioned at the bottom of the last page.  I do this with some JavaScript which works out the current Y position of the “totals” subform, and then sets the top margin of a proceeding “spacer” subform appropriately.  The code runs on the docReady eavent of the main subform, and runs correctly when the form is rendered dynamically, for example from within Designer.

We need to be able to generate the form using a LiveCycle service.   When we attempt this using the generatePDFOutput service, the code correctly calculates and sets the required margin.  However, setting the margin has no effect (the “totals” subform is not moved).  I am unclear why this does work, i.e. why there is a different effect when rendering the form from the process.

I am unable to move the code to an earlier event.  The latest event for which setting a margin actually works is formReady.  However, at this point the code to determine the current Y position of the “Totals” subform does not work.

One idea I had was to render the form twice.  On the first rendering of the form, the code could calculated the required margin.  On the 2nd rendering of the form, the margin would be set at an appropriately early event such as initialise.  However, I do not know how to pass a value calculated in JavaScript back to a process.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Static vs Dynamic difference when viewing in Acrobat 9

$
0
0

With ES2 or ES4, saving output as a static pdf results in the following when previewing and when viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5:

static.JPG

 

When viewing in Reader X or XI, or when saving as a dynamic pdf and viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5, the output is as expected:

dynamic.JPG

 

One obvious solution is to upgrade everyone to Acrobat X+, but that's not an option for the enterprise.  Is there scripting I could add or a registry fix or some other alternative to hiding these annotation sequence numbers (or whatever they're referred to) in the static pdf, as the EDMS delivering this pdf to the end-users cannot currently handle XFA-enabled PDFs and so it must be static?

 

My suspicion is this is more of an Acrobat 9.4.5 issue than an LC issue, but I have researched extensively and cannot find a resolution.

I made a PDF fillable form. I sent it out to all of our members. Now what I'm getting back is xml data, not the form filled in as a PDF. Is there anyway to fix this now so that I get it back as a PDF form ?
