I need to store long text data in a Z-table and maintain the data manually. Is there any way to maintain the texts via se54 generated dialogs? If no I will develope an ALV table report to maintain the table/long texts data of course...

I need a person to be able to input information into a field in a PDF then later be able to select and copy all information from that field with a single click so they may paste it into another field on a website.
Purpose. I am trying to create a master application which people with disabilities may complete and use as a simple way to fill out other applications. I don't believe I can create an autofill ability which will be useful for the thousands of different methods of job application but I want the human to be able to select the correct field then, in as few clicks as possible, copy information from a field in the PDF and paste it into one they deem as appropriate in another application.
I am an idiot, this is a passion project.
It may be simpler depending on user cases to work inside the browser framework. Here is totally non typical usage for copy data from local personal html into remote form. IT depends heavily on the remote site accepting it can be embedded as if a local frame thus not useful for generic use but may work for controlled caseload's
I have a task that involves scraping a large number of pages manually. For each webpage, I may have to create a new entry, with 5-6 columns to be filled for each entry. I was hoping to use a plugin/program that would:
a) Create a separate field for each new entry
b) Enter data into the relevant columns without me having to copy-paste manually. I was hoping for smth that directly pastes data into a particular column depending on the hot-key I use to select/highlight relevant data.
What's the best to achieve that? Especially for someone with basic programming skills.
I have a .doc template I use for building CVs for many friends.
I'm trying to automate this process using simple library/program, for exmaple, that can accept data like name, email, phone number, job title, and can create the .doc automatically.
What framework can be used for that to make it fastest i can?
Thanks,
Tal
Where exactly are keeping this template and are your friends plugging in the data or are you doing it all yourself?
No matter what, you're basically looking to do a data merge. An example of a data merge is a mail merge:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/294683/how-to-use-mail-merge-to-create-form-letters-in-word
The same thing really applies to what you're accomplishing to do.
You can take a template, specify the fields that require variable data (aka the different information that's changing), and then just use a spreadsheet to pull the data from and plug it in.
Now the question you'll probably be wondering next is how data merges use spreadsheets. The way data merges work is that each column you set with data in it, that should correspond to the changing lines in your template. I strongly recommend you read up on this further - it's not that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
The last question is probably how you'll compile the data into this spreadsheet. Are your friends going to fill out an online form perhaps? If so, you'll need an online form of some sort perhaps, so you'll need to use some PHP, have a database to store the information from the form, and then just go to the table and export the information as a .csv file after you see you have enough data populated in your database table to do a data merge.
If you don't have access to MS Office, I'm sure you can accomplish this in OpenOffice.org instead (which is free/open-source).
Hope this helps.
At my job we do data merges all the time - for mail merges, for letters that need to be personally address to individual recipients, and we do this for people who need to print dozens of different business cards for different employees. We take their business card template and just do a data merge from a spreadsheet to save time on needing to set up individual files. P.S. you can also use Adobe inDesign for this, if you know how to use it.
I have a set of text files that I need to load into a table. I think using DataGrid View would be easiest. It is for a room booking system which the clients can modify then save back to the text file. I read the components in the text file using stream reader and then split them up into temporary arrays. How do I create multiple columns and rows using a DataGrid View
You should use a class to store one row of your data. Each public property of the class will be displayed as one column of your DataGridView. Store the objects in List<T>. This list will contain the "rows".
Place a BindingSource component on your form and choose the class as data source. Then assign the list to the DataSource property of the BindingSource.
This is explained in more detail here DataGridView.DataSource Property
and here How to: Bind Objects to Windows Forms DataGridView Controls. Note: you can do the binding work within the WinForms designer and don't need to code the bindings manually.
When using text files to store your data, you will very soon notice that this type of storage is not adequate. It is not dynamic, i.e. you cannot add, update or remove single records. You always have to read the whole file, make changes in memory and then write back all the data to the file. One more severe problem arises from the fact that your data is probably not flat, i.e. you will most likely have relations between different types of entities like customers, rooms and more. Databases allow you to model such relations. They allow you to query, update and delete single records. They allow you to run complex queries answering questions like, which room is free at a given time, which room is booked by which customer, how many times did a customer book a room, and many more. Use a database!
I have an Acrobat form for work that our salesmen use to create proposals for jobs and their corresponding estimates.
The problem I am facing is that the form only stores data for one customer at a time. I am trying to get it to where they can type in a customers name (or job number, etc.) and it pull up all the form data used for that customer when that exact estimate was done (no matter how long ago it was).
How can I get my PDF form to do this (save current and all previous inputs) and not just save the current data in each editable field at a time?
I currently use Omniform and it does all of this; however, we are trying to switch over to Adobe and I am not too familiar with the software and how I can accomplish this!
Thank you in advance!
If you want to do all the processing local (without server roundtrip) you would have to embed all data in the PDF itself. There are several ways to do this but I would recommend using JavaScript. You would declare this at the document level. You would handle the blur event of the customer name (or other key field), find a match among the multiple customers and populate the secondary fields.
Assuming the data sits somewhere in a database, you would have to generate such a PDF or manipulate an existing template programmatically using a library. Not sure if you are looking to a programming solution or a tool.
Here is more info on JavaScript for Acrobat:
