Dropping in PDF files into iDVD? How?

I have a client who would like to put some PDF files as well as video into a DVD I am making for here. What is the best way to throw some PDF's in? I would like a button that would point to those.
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Best,
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can include .pdf files (and any other kinds of files) in the DVD-ROM area of a DVD. Look under the Advanced menu for Edit DVD-ROM Contents. These won't display on a TV, but are accessible by a computer. To inform the viewer about this content, I mention it on the DVD jacket, and create a sub-menu that briefly describes what's in the DVD-ROM area. I suppose you could take a screenshot of the pdf and drop it into the background area of the sub-menu to give the TV viewer a small taste of what's in the computer-accessible area.

  • Unable to insert or drag and drop PDF file into PowerPoint 2010

    Hi all.  I am trying to drag and drop a PDF file into a power point file (PowerPoint 2010).  However, power point responded with the error "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.  You
    may need to reinstall the server application".  I also tried to use the Insert feature "Insert --> Object --> Choose from file", yet also getting this same error message. This is what I've tried:
    a) I've tried to disabled the Adobe Protected Mode on Adobe Acrobat Reader 11, yet no luck. 
    b) Also tried on a machine got Adobe Reader 9 installed, still getting the same error message
    c) Tried to register the OLE library, no luck
    I haven't tried to re-install Office 2010.  It looks like this is a Office 2010 issue, have any one of you encountered this issue and is there a solution for it?  Drag and drop Excel and Word file into power point is working fine.  Thank you. 

    I would suggest you try a complete re-install and see if issue persists.
    I know I know, but you've already tried the Most Possible solutions (disable the protected mode/ register the OLE libray). It might worth trying a complete uninstall and re-install.

  • How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
    Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

  • How to batch upload PDF files into database BLOB

    Hello.
    I have a requirement to batch upload PDF files into BLOB column of an Oracle 8.1.7 table from Forms 6i Web. The content of the blob column (ie. the PDF content) MUST be displayable from all client software (eg. Oracle Web forms, HTML forms, etc.)
    Our environment is
    Middle-tier is 9iAS on Windows/2000
    Database is Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on VMS
    Oracle Web Forms 6i Patch 10
    Basically my Oracle web form program will display a list of PDF files to upload and then the user can click on the <Upload> button to do the batch upload. I have experimented the following approaches but with no luck.
    1. READ_IMAGE_FILE forms built-in = does NOT work because it cannot read PDF file. I got error FRM-47100: Cannot read image file
    2. OCX and OLE form item = cannot use this because it does NOT work on the Web. I got error FRM-41344 OLE object not defined
    3. I cannot use DBMS_LOB to do the load because the PDF files are not in the database machine.
    4. Metalink Note 1682771.1 (How to upload binary documents back to database blob column from forms). When I used this, I got ORA-6502 during the hextoraw conversion. In using this solution, I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site. I've noticed that when I looked at the converted HEX file, each line has the character : (colon) at the beginning of each line. I know the PDF file has been converted correctly to HEX format because when I convert the HEX file back to BIN format using hex2bin.exe, I'm able to display the converted bin file in Acrobat Reader. When I removed the : (colon) in the HEX file, I did NOT get the ORA-6502 error but I CANNOT display the file in Acrobat Reader. It gives an error "corrupted file".
    5. upload facility in PL/SQL Web toolkit - I tried to automatically submit the html form (with htp.p) but it does NOT load the contents of the file. I called the URL from Oracle forms using web.show_document. There seems to be issues with Oracle Web forms (JInitiator) and HTML (+ htp.p).
    The other options I can think of at this point are:
    1. Use SQL*Loader to do the batch upload via SQL*Net connection and use HOST() built-in from Oracle Webforms to execute SQL*Loader from the 9iAS.
    2. Write a Visual Basic program that reads a binary file and output the contents of the file into a byte array. Then build a DLL that can be called from Oracle webforms 6i via ORA_FFI. I don't prefer this because it means the solution will only work for Windows.
    3. Write a JSP program that streams the PDF file and insert the contents of the PDF file into blob column via JDBC. Call JSP from forms using web.show_document. With this I have to do another connection to the database when I load the file.
    4. Maybe I can use dbms_lob by using network file system (NFS) between the application server and VMS. But this will be network resource hungry as far as I know because the network connection has to be kept open.
    Please advise. Thank you.
    Regards,
    Armando

    I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site.
    ... each line has the character : (colon) at the
    beginning of each line. I'm afraid it isn't a correct utility. I hope you'll find the source code of a correct one at metalink forum:
    Doc ID: 368771.996
    Type: Forum
    Subject: Uploading Binary Files: bin2hex and hex2bin do not reproduce the same file
    There is some links to metalink notes and some example about working with BLOB at http://www.tigralen.spb.ru/oracle/blob/index.htm. Maybe it helps. Sorry for my English. If there is any problem with code provided there, let me know by e-mail.

  • How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

    I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
    I have read this tutorial:
    http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
    Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
    I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

    Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not.  Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia.  Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

  • How to merge the pdf files into single pdf?

    But its merginging(inserting) successfully. But the links not working after inserting. kindly advise me the solution or any other ways.
    I am using Acrobat 8.0.
    Thanks in advance..

    http://gotofritz.net/blog/howto/joining-pdf-files-in-os-x-from-the-command-line/   <- this works but it strips OPI
    Here's what I did: (This is shell script)
    #!/bin/bash
    FROM="./"
    DESTINATION="./unCombined/"
    for i in $(ls *_F_ga.pdf)
              do
              BACK=`echo "$i" | sed "s/_F_/_B_/g"`
              if [ -f $BACK ] ; then
                        open "$i"

                        sleep 3
                        mv -f "$FROM/$i" $DESTINATION
                        mv -f "$FROM/$BACK" $DESTINATION
              fi
    done
    This calls an applescript
    tell application "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "Acrobat"
                        click menu item "combine Front and Back" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
              end tell
    end tell
    Which activates a menu item (made with Java and saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "combineFB",
        cUser: "combine Front and Back",
        cParent: "File",
        cExec: "combineFrontAndBack()",
        nPos: 0
    Which activates this script (again saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
    combineFrontAndBack = app.trustedFunction(
    function(){
    // get the file name and extension
    var sFullFileName =  this.documentFileName
    // make into an arry
    var aFullFileName = sFullFileName.split('_F_');
    // build a file name array dropping the extension
    var aFileName = new Array(aFullFileName.length - 2);
    for (i = 0; i < aFullFileName.length - 1; i++) {
    aFileName[i] = aFullFileName[i];
    // recreate file name
    var sFileName = aFileName.join('.');
    var back = sFileName + "_B_ga.pdf";
    app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privilege
    //add back page based on front page name
    this.insertPages ({
                        nPage: 0,
                        cPath: "/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + back,
                        nStart: 0
    this.saveAs("/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + sFileName + "_ga.pdf");
    this.closeDoc(true);
    app.endPriv();
    return true;
    It's convoluted and comparitively slow, but it works.
    EDIT: I just realized you probably meant document links and not OPI links. Ha ha. I have no Idea what this would do to document links.
