I am creating a PDF form using adobe reader. I have added an image field and a text box. The text box is read-only and I want to populate the text box with the path of the image selected by the end-user, in the image field. Following is my code:
var one = this.getField("Image1");
var two = this.getField("Text1");
two.value='The Path';
The above code runs normally but I can't figure out as to what to write instead of 'The Path', to get the actual path of the image selected by the end-user.
P.S.
On the Image1 button there are 2 actions:
Mouse Up(execute Js)
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
On Blur(execute Js)
var one = this.getField("Image1");
var two = this.getField("Text1");
two.value='The Path';
If I am understanding your request correctly... Assuming that Image1 is a button field and Text1 is a text field and you want the selected image file to appear as the button icon, the code would be as follows...
var one = this.getField("Image1");
var two = this.getField("Text1");
var doc = app.browseForDoc(); // Allows the user to browse for a file
var docPath = doc.cPath; // gets the file path of the selected file
one.buttonImportIcon(docPath); // uses the selected path to import the image as the "normal" or "up" button icon
two.value = docPath; // set the value of the text field to the selected device independent path

I want to save a Google Doc file as a pdf in the same Google Drive folder as my current file. I know I can download the file as a pdf, but then I have to upload it into the same Google Drive folder. I am trying to skip the upload step.
I have created a script to accomplish all of this, but I cannot get the images and drawings to be included in the resulting pdf.
Here is my code:
function onOpen() {
// Add a custom menu to the spreadsheet.
var ui = DocumentApp.getUi();
var menu = ui.createAddonMenu();
menu.addItem('Save As PDF','saveToPDF')
.addToUi();
}
function saveToPDF(){
var currentDocument = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
var parentFolder = DriveApp.getFileById(currentDocument.getId()).getParents();
var folderId = parentFolder.next().getId();
var currentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
var pdf = currentDocument.getAs('application/PDF');
pdf.setName(currentDocument.getName() + ".pdf");
// Check if the file already exists and add a datecode if it does
var hasFile = DriveApp.getFilesByName(pdf.getName());
if(hasFile.hasNext()){
var d = new Date();
var dateCode = d.getYear()+ "" + ("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "" + ("0" + (d.getDate())).slice(-2);
pdf.setName(currentDocument.getName() + "_" + dateCode +".pdf");
}
// Create the file (puts it in the root folder)
var file = DriveApp.createFile(pdf);
// Add to source document original folder
currentFolder.addFile(file);
// Remove the new file from the root folder
DriveApp.getRootFolder().removeFile(file);
}
Is there another way to create the pdf, save to the current Google Drive folder, and not lose the images?
UPDATE
I just tested and realized that even if I export as a pdf, the images and drawings aren't included. There has to be a way to do this.
UPDATE 2
I have been testing some more and have learned a few things:
Images in the header/footer are included if they are In line, but if I use Wrap text or Break text they are not.
Images in the body can be any of the three
However, if I use the "Project Proposal" template, they include an image in the footer with Break text and it exports to pdf. I can't tell why their image is any different.
I don't want to use In line because I want the image to touch both sides of the page and In line will always leave at least 1 pixel to the left of the image.
I am unable to extract or get the text from the popup Window. I am using the below code:
Driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of popup")).getText();
It is a div image popup (if that helps). I want get the text out the window and print it in the console. When I use the above code it just passes the test and does not get the text from the image.
You can't simply get text from an image. To get text from an image, you need OCR (optical character recognition).
The following should give you a starting point:
URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
Image image = ImageIO.read(url);
String text = new OCR().recognizeCharacters((RenderedImage) image);
After I imported XML-Data into an InDesign document I see that red plus symbol at the textframe at the end of the first page.
How can I insert/move that content on next page(s) with scripting?
This script should do what you want. :)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFrames = myDoc.textFrames;
while (myFrames[0].overflows === true) {
var myNewPage = myDoc.pages.add();
var myMargin = myNewPage.marginPreferences;
var myBounds = [myMargin.top, myMargin.left, myDoc.documentPreferences.pageHeight - myMargin.bottom, myDoc.documentPreferences.pageWidth - myMargin.right];
var myOldRuler = myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
with(myDoc.pages[-1].textFrames.add()) {
geometricBounds = myBounds;
previousTextFrame = myDoc.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
}
myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = myOldRuler;
}
The TextFrame object has a property overflows: Bool, readonly. If true, the story has overset text.
The TextFrame object has also a property nextTextFrame: r/w The next text frame in the thread. Can return: TextFrame or TextPath. Can also accept: NothingEnum enumerator.

not sure you need scripting... if the document is set up as a template simply click the plus sign and "capture" the contents. then move to the next page and click where you want the text to reflow to. adjust the text boxes as needed to suit.
For the non-scripting solution to flowing overset text frames, after adding a new page, hold down shift before clicking. This will cause the text to autoflow on as many pages as it takes until there is no longer an overset text frame.
From CS4, we can enable the "Smart Text Reflow" to automatically flow text to the available content. It will insert the pages automatically.
Edit Menu \ Preferences \ Type \ Smart Text Reflow
Also, it comes with "Delete Empty Pages", so when the content goes less, then it will automatically remove the empty pages accordingly.
I'm working to refactor a PDF form web application that is using the Active PDF Toolkit and the FDFToolkit from Adobe. My goal is to use iTextSharp to:
Pre-populate the form fields with data from the database
Allow the user to attach a signature and/or barcode image via FDF
Item #1 is not the problem. Item #2 is the biggest challenge. Let me provide some background:
This is a web application which renders the PDF form once. After the initial load, there are 2 key buttons on the form which submit the PDF form to a URL with an action parameter in the query string. These buttons are called "Save" and "Sign". The Save button takes the FDF field dictionary and saves it to the database. The Sign button looks up the signature for the logged-in user and attaches the signature image to the FDF and writes the FDF to the HTTP Response.
The FDFToolkit supports attaching an image to a field using this method:
FDFSetAP(string bstrFieldName, short whichFace, string bstrFileName, short pageNum)
iTextSharp does not offer a comparable method in the FdfWriter class. I've considered subclassing the FdfWriter class and adding my own method to attach an image, but wanted to reach out here to see if anyone has had the same problem.
I have been able to overlay an image on top of a field using this method, but this is in the underlying PDF and not the FDF.
AcroFields.FieldPosition pos = _Stamper.AcroFields.GetFieldPositions("SIGNATUREFIELD").First();
Image signature = Image.GetInstance("Signature.gif");
image.SetAbsolutePosition(pos.position.Left, pos.position.Bottom);
image.ScaleToFit(pos.position.Width, pos.position.Height);
PdfContentByte pcb = _Stamper.GetOverContent(pos.page);
pcb.AddImage(image);
Thanks!
I've put images on forms by using the PdfStamper and making Pushbutton fields. You can replace your existing field with a Pushbutton field and set the Pushbutton to READ_ONLY so that it can't be pressed and it will look like a static image. This will keep the image you're trying to add as a field annotation instead of adding it to the page content.
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(new PdfReader(inputFile), File.Create(outputFile)))
{
AcroFields.FieldPosition fieldPosition = stamper.AcroFields.GetFieldPositions(fieldName)[0];
PushbuttonField imageField = new PushbuttonField(stamper.Writer, fieldPosition.position, fieldName);
imageField.Layout = PushbuttonField.LAYOUT_ICON_ONLY;
imageField.Image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imageFile);
imageField.ScaleIcon = PushbuttonField.SCALE_ICON_ALWAYS;
imageField.ProportionalIcon = false;
imageField.Options = BaseField.READ_ONLY;
stamper.AcroFields.RemoveField(fieldName);
stamper.AddAnnotation(imageField.Field, fieldPosition.page);
}
I have a simple form and body field. when user upload an attachment I want to remove any attachment already in the body field of the document. how can I do this in my save button.
I have tried to set the properites on the fileUpload control to always change the filename to tha same name but this does not replace the file, instead it adds a new file and add a new sequential number to it
<xp:fileUpload id="fileUpload1" value="#{userdoc.Body}" filename="profile" seUploadname="false"></xp:fileUpload>
I have also tried to loop all embedded attachments in body field before before save, and all attachments are then removed, but my new attachment is not added.
A little late, but in case anyone gets here just as I did through Google...
There's also another option: a NotesXSPDocument.getAttachmentList("rtitem") returns a list of attachments in the document. Each entry is of type DominoDocument.AttachmentValueHolder which has a getState() property that returns if a file was already in the document or just added. To remove the file that was already in the document you could add this SSJS code to a save button (assuming "files" is the name of the richtext item holding the files):
var attList = docFile.getAttachmentList("files");
for(var i=0; i<attList.size(); i++) {
var att = attList.get(i);
if (att.getState()==0) { //STATE_INDOCUMENT: this is the 'old' file: remove it
docFile.removeAttachment("files", att.getName() );
} else if (att.getState()==1) { //STATE_ADDED: this is the new file
//leave it
}
}
This can be done by removing all attachments first (use the removeAllAttachments function from NotesXSPDocument object) and then attach the uploaded file manually to the richtext item.
This SSJS code has to be added to beforeRenderResponse-event of your XPage / Custom Control:
var con = facesContext.getExternalContext();
var request:com.sun.faces.context.MyHttpServletRequestWrapper = con.getRequest();
var map:java.util.Map = request.getParameterMap();
var fileDataName = getClientId('fileUpload1') ;
var fileData:com.ibm.xsp.http.UploadedFile = map.get( fileDataName );
if( fileData == null ){
return;
}
var tempFile:java.io.File = fileData.getServerFile();
var correctedFile = new java.io.File( tempFile.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath() +
java.io.File.separator + fileData.getClientFileName() );
var success = tempFile.renameTo(correctedFile);
try{
document1.removeAllAttachments("Body");
}catch(e){}
var rtFiles:NotesRichTextItem = null;
if(!(document1.getDocument().hasItem("Body"))){
rtFiles = document1.getDocument().createRichTextItem("Body")
}else{
rtFiles = document1.getDocument().getFirstItem("Body");
}
rtFiles.embedObject(lotus.domino.local.EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "",
correctedFile.getAbsolutePath(), null);
correctedFile.renameTo(tempFile);
document1.save();
The richtext item where the files are stored is "Body", the name of the datasource is "document1". The Fileupload control is "fileUpload1".
There are two limitations:
You cannot use this with a save button, you have to use a normal button / link which makes a full refresh (see what Serdar Basegmez wrote above)
You have to refresh the page after a upload once again, otherwise you will not see the uploaded file in a file download conrol (maybe a partial refresh to this control may work).
EDIT:
Sorry, my fault: You can use this code above in a submit button that saves the document. Then you don't have to refresh the page manually!
