similar to: PDF Form Fill

Hi all, I would like to get ideas about how to fill out a PDF form in R and to know if it's possible or not. I could not find something helpful in Internet. Does anyone know a good link for that or have experience in this? Thanks for any help! Elahe

Hi Elahe, I have no clue, but maybe you can dump the data fields using pdftk, and work with those in R.

I know there''s wiki page on generating PDF[*], but that''s not really what I want. I don''t need to create arbitrary PDF. What I''d like to do is create PDF templates and fill in the blanks. Roughly, I''m looking for functionality akin to the mail merge feature of word processors, including conditional and repeated elements, say, table rows. Michael

I''ve been implementing this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoGeneratePDFs [PDF::Writer section on using rpdf templates] Strangest thing tho is that it doesn''t work with IE [get a ''server not found'' error] - after reviewing the headers and such, I noticed that there was no file name for the generated PDF in IE - so I made sure that this was in

Hello, I''m having a problem with HTMLdoc and rails. I''ve set it up as per http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoGeneratePDFs and I''m using windows and version 1.8.24. I can make ps files without a problem and I can make pdfs using the stand alone app, however I can''t get the pdf created in RoR to work. Loading it into gsviewer I get the error

I wonder if you're starting from the wrong place. Maybe you

Note that I sent this to r-devel, yesterday. However, it didn't appear on the mailing list. So, I'm resending it. Today, I plotted the following: > filled.contour (,,z, color.palette=terrain.colors) It looked OK, in R. However, when I created a PDF document, the plot (and other similar plots) had grid (and other) lines in it, that shouldn't be there. Note that this problem is more

On centos 6, I've been trying to use LibreOffice to fill in entries of a PDF with fillable forms. In addition to all my other problems, the font size is stuck on 24. I can change it, but whenever I so much a take a deep breath, it's back to 24 again. How do I stop this? So far, all my searches have given me stuff about making fillable forms, but nothing about dealing with existing ones.

Hello, Below is a function (test.map) that permits drawing the same map using three different devices. The "pdf" device doesn't clip polygons to the plot region as I see it does by both the native device (in my case "Quartz") and the "png" device. test.map("pdf") # produces "test-map.pdf" with no clipping test.map("png") #

Hi, I tried to fill a PDF fill template with an xdp file by using PDF::Toolkit.pdftk("C:/pdf/fic2028.xdp", "fill_form", "C:/pdf/fic2028.pdf") But I got the following error Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - "pdftk" "C:/pdf/fic2028.xdp" "fill_form" "C:/pdf/fic2028.pdf" "-" "dont_ask") I

Good Evening: I am putting together a large report with plots created in R, V 2.12.0. Most of the plots are created using ggplot2 V0.8.9. I use R's pdf() command to export the plot to a pdf file. I am exporting the plots and attempting to edit the title text in?Inkscape?primarily because ggplot2 does not support superscript or subscript formatting in the title text. For the report I am

Dear list, I'm puzzled by the graphical output in the following example, library(grid) foo <- function(){ grid.rect(gp=gpar(fill="black")) print(get.gpar()$fill) grid.rect(width=0.2,height=0.2) } png("test.png", bg = "transparent") foo() dev.off() png("test1.png", bg = "white") foo() dev.off() It seems that the default value of

Dear all, I'm using R 2.12.0 on Windows 7 (32bits) I created a filled contour from the attached data using the following code: load('bug.RData') pdf('bug.pdf', width=14, height=7) filled.contour(o4$x, o4$y, o4$z, color=rainbow, xlim=c(4,18), ylim=c(0,35), zlim=c(14,36)) dev.off() If you look (I used acrobat reader 9.4) at the attached bug.pdf, you see an incomplete grid of

Hi, I'm using panel.polygon inside a custom panel function to generate filled polygons for an xyplot. Everything is as expected until I specify a value < 1 for alpha to fill with a semi-transparent color and output to pdf. The plot symbols appear malformed. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks, Mark Here is an example (pdfs are attached): library(lattice) ## example data

Hello, What am I doing wrong about creating an index for my package documentation? Using 2.9.2, I am checking the gld package. It reports the following (all earlier lines OK): * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. * checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR When I look in the gld.Rcheck
