XDP Stitiching using DDX

- Girish Bedekar, LiveCycle Solutions Evangelist @ Adobe

A common use case is to let the end user select various fragments to insert in the final PDF. The screen shot below would better explain what I mean by this. AS you can see this screen captures some user information, and allows the user to select fragments that need to be inserted in the final pdf. When the user hits the submit button it will call a LC process which will parse the parameters and build the DDX needed for XDP Stitching. The Process makes use of a custom component called xmlUtilities which allows you to insert elements in an xml document. The input parameters to the process are the name,city,address,state,zip and fragments. The fragments variable will hold a comma separated list of selected fragments.

5 Tips on using Bcc in Outlook Email

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

It's kind of funny that a software application would use abbreviations that refer to pre-software days.  Remember carbon copies? Cc means carbon copy and Bcc means blind carbon copy. For emailing, you use Cc when you want to copy others publicly, and Bcc when you want to do it privately. Any recipients on the Bcc line of an email are not visible to others on the email. These five tips get beginners started and provide info for those who already know how to use Bcc.

Probably one of the biggest hurtles that customers face is figuring out how to add or remove Bcc to or from an email.

To do that, open your email message, and on the Options tab in the Show Fields group, click Bcc.

 

Bcc appears in the Send area of your email, below Cc. (Cc appears in the Send area by default.)

 

To remove Bcc from your email, again go to the Options tab in the Show Fields group, and click Bcc. Once you add (or remove) Bcc, it stays that way for all email messages.

While others can't see who's on the Bcc line of the email you send, you might want to remind yourself who you included.

To do that, go to your Sent Items folder and open the message with Bcc recipients. (By default, all sent messages are stored in the Outlook Sent Items folder.)  

 

All recipients appear in the header section of your message.

Most people know when to use the Cc line--you put people there who you need to keep in the loop even though they're not the primary people you're sending to. When you want to keep recipients hidden from people on the To: line, then you add them to the Bcc line. Tip #3 and 4# give you two reasons you might want to do that.  

If your name is on the Bcc list, you won't receive any emails if someone on the To or Cc line replies to the original email. This is especially handy when there are lots of people on the To or Cc line who Reply All during a long email conversation. Your inbox would be inundated with emails when all you needed to care about was the first one.

Take note! If you're on the Bcc line of an email and you reply to the email, your secret's out-everyone on the To and Cc lines knows you were Bcc'd. Why does this matter?  Let's say you send an email to a colleague gently reminding him or her about a deliverable that's long overdue. You want to let your manager in on this, so you include her on the Bcc line. But if she replies to the email-uh-oh! Your colleague knows you've "informed" your manager. Might make for some awkwardness in the workplace for a while!

Using a Combo Box to search as you type

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

(Guest blogger, Molly Pell is a Senior Systems Analyst at FMS, Inc., a leading Access applications company, which designs custom solutions to improve operations for small and large organizations in all sectors.)

Here's a neat trick that you can use to filter a Continuous or Split form while your users are typing in a Combo Box. As the user types, the form filter updates to display full or partial matches for the value entered. 

This example uses a slightly modified version of the Northwind 2007 Template, available for download from Microsoft. The "Customer List" form is a Split form that displays a list of all customers. We want to allow users to filter this list to easily find a customer, even without knowing the full customer name.

To do this, we add a Combo Box named cboFilter, with the following notable properties:

 

Here's what our form looks like:

Then in the Change event of the Combo Box, we add the following code:

Private Sub cboFilter_Change()

  ' If the combo box is cleared, clear the form filter.
  If Nz(Me.cboFilter.Text) = "" Then
Me.Form.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
  ' If a combo box item is selected, filter for an exact match.
' Use the ListIndex property to check if the value is an item in the list.
ElseIf Me.cboFilter.ListIndex <> -1 Then
Me.Form.Filter = "[Company] = '" & _
Replace(Me.cboFilter.Text, "'", "''") & "'"
Me.FilterOn = True
  ' If a partial value is typed, filter for a partial company name match.
Else
Me.Form.Filter = "[Company] Like '*" & _
Replace(Me.cboFilter.Text, "'", "''") & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True

  End If
  ' Move the cursor to the end of the combo box.
Me.cboFilter.SetFocus
Me.cboFilter.SelStart = Len(Me.cboFilter.Text)

End Sub

Now as the user types, the customer list automatically updates. If the user types an exact match, the list is filtered for an exact match. If the user types a partial match, the list is filtered for any company whose name contains the string. If the user clears the combo box, the filter is cleared.

Note that this same thing can be done with a text box, but using a combo box adds the extra perk of making all values available in the drop down.

Let the image dance for your tunes… Image Slideshows with audio using Adobe Captivate 5.5

February 11, 2012

One of my favorite feature in Audio Editing dialog is, starting the next slide at a specific location at the audio waveform… just have to click ‘Select next slide at the cursor position’ button or simply press Ctrl+S or Cmd+S. Are you wondering what’s the fun? The fun begins when you want to play the pictures of an Image Slideshow according to the beats of an audio. What am I talking about? Watch the video below and see how the images change according to the music.

How did I achieve this?

The logic behind is simple… whenever we press Cmd+S or Ctrl+S when we are in Audio dialog the next slide starts at the cursor position. What you need to do is, play the audio, press the key whenever you feel the next slide needs to appear. Watch the demo below which explains step-by-step how to achieve this.

Hope you enjoyed this… please let me know your thoughts!

I Second that Emotion! Using Emoticons in an Adobe Connect Meeting

I frequently get asked how to better engage participants during Adobe Connect presentations. My answer is always –EMOTICONS  – icons participants can click on to express emotions that appear next to their names in the attendee list. These emoticons can express laughter or applause, ask the host to speak louder or slow down, or show raised hands. They’re a great way for presenters to engage an audience during a live meeting.

The emoticon “Raise Hand” feature is a way for participants to ask for microphone rights during a VoIP meeting. If a host acknowledges an attendee’s raised hand by “accepting” it, that allows the participant voice rights.

A great product legacy story is when I first began hosting web meetings in Adobe Connect—and before the emoticons were part of the product—participants used to “clap” by typing “………” in the chat pod. Today, we’ve made expressing emotions during a meeting much more fun, I think.

If you haven’t, give emoticons a try in your next meeting. And let us know what emoticons you’d like to see in Adobe Connect next.

Check it out: options for using check in Excel

Hello ViF! Thank you for your comment and question.

Excel 2010 feature contains icon sets, the by default green check mark, yellow exclamation mark for conditional formatting and red exe files can be viewed. You can edit the rule, so that it only two formats (green check mark and red exe files are).

I think it is very handy and really helps make your data look good and easy at a glance to interpret. The first link in the post going to a previous post that explains more about conditional formatting in Excel 2010.
