How to create a pdf with the correct size?

Hi there
How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

How to create a String with a specific size?

how to create a String with a specific size?
For example I want to create different Strings with the size of 100 , 1000 or 63k byte?

String are immutable so just initialize it with the number of characters you want.
You might want to look at java.lang.StringBuffer and see if that's what you want.

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.
' Print PDF Page by Page.VBS
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(Path & ".TDM")
PDFFileName = Path & " Page by Page.pdf"
IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)
OldPrintName = PrintName
PrintName = "winspool,DIAdem PDF Export,LPT1:" ' Set to PDF printer
PDFResolution = "72 DPI" ' "2400 DPI" , "default"
PDFOptimization = TRUE

How to create a PDF with markup enabled for Reader users?

I have a bunch of Word 2007 documents containing project specs. I would like to be able to turn them into PDF documents that other people can markup using Reader. Is this possible?
I tried using the built-in PDF output module. It creates a PDF document, but it is not enabled for comments.
About halfway down on this comparison page,
     http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
there is a row that says,
     "Review documents using familiar commenting tools such as sticky
     notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps"
In the Reader column, there is a symbol in the Reader column that I guess is
supposed to be some sort of half-full container or something. At the
bottom, it says
     "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended."
This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create comment-enabled PDF documents, but either Pro or Pro Extended can. Is that correct?
If I buy Acrobat Pro, will I be able to use it to create comment-enabled PDF documents from my Word 2007 documents?
If so, how does it work? Will it convert the Word document? Will it convert the PDF document I create using the Word add-in? Can I invoke it from inside Word?
Thanks

It's very simple. Create your PDF from Word, open in Acrobat and use the Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. You cannot invoke it from within Word no.

How to create Interactive PDF with multiple .mp4 videos– without lagging on playback?

I'm creating a long document with no real effects-- just a "fade" transition from page to page-- and multiple videos. These videos are all formatted as .mp4s, and I have had no issues with the actual process of getting them embedded and playing back on export.
My real issue is that the videos are all extremely laggy on playback. Since this is a presentation document, I'd like to know if there are any options for making the playback a bit smoother. Each video, by itself, plays with no issues. Would the combined filesize of all the videos be causing this? There are about eight 30-second videos and one 2-minute video, which makes the filesize quite large.
Filesize is not an issue, so is there some way to completely embed the videos or create an external folder the PDF document can draw the videos from on playback...? Hopefully I won't be stuck with laggy videos.

My suspicion is that computer setup has more to do it than anything. How much RAM, whether other apps are loaded, what kind of graphics chip, stuff like that.
I don't know of a setting, though you can look at the Flash Player settings in Acrobat. There is certainly nothing in InDesign that would affect it.

PSE 8: How to create a pdf with several pages?

I want to deliver DINA4-Sheets (thats bacic European standard size of a sheet of paper for let's say writing an official letter) to print out in a copy-shop. Now the copy-shop-owner says, for him it will be much easier if I hand in my 10-20 pages in one pdf-file with 10-20 pages and not 10-20 single-paged pdf-files, cause then he only needs to do the colour-routines and adjustings once and not many times. Now there is the problem, in Elements 8 there is the option to save a psd as a pdf-file, but I don't know how to add the other files and make a pdf with more pages than just one. May be I need to do that with Scribus, a freeware prog.

Hello Barbara!
Your answer just proved extremely helpful. It worked that way. I first created a pse-file in the right document size. Then with copy and paste I imported the first page and flattened it to one layer. Then I chose to create the second pse-page, that shows automatically in the menue then with the pse-file open. Into the second page again with copy and paste I imported the second single sheet and flattened the second page too to one layer and so on. That way it works. Finally I first save in the pse-file and then save the whole thing as pdf.
Very easy to do. Thanks a lot!

How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

Hello Gurus,
I have a big question:
How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
Is that Possible?
Thanks!!!
rgds.
Miguel Angel.

Hi,
the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

How to create reports servers with the same name in two nodes in Reports

Greetings
We are migrating Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) to a better hardware infrastructure with high availability. We want to provide 2 new Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) in High availability and we want to avoid modify the existing forms and reports code, but the code is looking for a specific reports server name when calling reports, but I couldn't create the same reports server name in the both oas machines, I could create the reports server in only one node. I want to create a reports server with the same name in both nodes but it is not possible. I know that there is a procedure to do that in 10.1,2 (Note 437228.1, How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet) but I couldn't find the equivalent procedure in 9.0.4.

How to: Create a Program with the rs232 Device -Magcard Reader Writer

Hi Guys!.
Im New in using VB.net 2010 express
and it is my first time to do a project with a device needed to incorporate with it.
I have a device Magnetic Card Reader writer and a i want to create a connection and UI
that interacts with the device alone without using the default application and process.start command.
the main problem i want to be solve is to perform the connection and commands on a single form by allowing the user to read and write the data on a single form.
what i want to do is to create a main form that executes the commands needed to activate the event or allows the user to use the device w/o using the software. with the use of text box and button, while the read executes automatically if the card is swipe
to it end fill out the focus textbox given.
i have here a document that discuss commands for the device and i think it is needed to successfully connect all the process from device to the system
can you help me to do this project? tnx.. :)

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since each Magnetic Card Reader writer has its API for developers.
You could consider getting supports by connecting with the publisher of that Magnetic Card Reader writer which should have the sample about using its API.
In addition, I did a research, you could refer to
Build a .NET Class for Serial Device Communications with P/Invoke to get how to communicate with that serial device.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards.

How to create a circle with the origin not at (0,0)

I want to create a circle but the origin is not at (0,0).
I have the following data;
- point coordinate (X1,Y1)
- radius of the circle
Also, I want to create a line between the origin and the point (X1,Y1).
Kindly show me how can I do this. Thank you very much.

The accuracy of the GPS Receiver is +/- 0.5 meter. Its a Novatel product (Flex Pak). I am getting the string data from the GPS receiver. I took the Longtitude data as for my X and Latitude data for my Y. I took the Longtitude and Latitude data from the center of post for my reference calculation only to get the true value of X and Y at the end of the boom. I call the X and Y value at the end of the boom as dynamic because it always give me the value wherever the boom goes. Please see the attached sample VI's.
At one point , I actually measured, using a tape measure, the distance from the end of the boom to the center of post and i am getting the correct radius. But when I rotate the boom on the other side it will give me a different radius. And looking at this radius value, while rotating the boom, I can judge that my point of origin is not (0,0).
At this point I have no idea how to get the correct origin. Kindly teach me if you have idea on this.
Do you think the way I calculated for the true value of X and Y is still correct? Is my reference too far?
Thank you very much.

How to create a pdf for the URL attached to an invoice and send it as an attachment in a mail

HI,
I have requirement where i need to get the URL attached to an invoice, create the pdf and send as an attachement in a mail.
The URL attached to an invoice can be seen by following the path : VF03-> Billing document->system->Services for object ->Attachement list.
On searching through existing forums, i found that there is a table 'SRGBTBREL' which stores relationships of GOS object. On giving the invoice number in field 'INSTID_A', i could find an entry in this table.
To get the content, i used the class CL_FITV_GOS, method GET_CONTENT. To this method i passed following values:
IV_ATTA_ID = FOL21000000000521URL39000000000012 (The value if field INSTID_B from table SRGBTBREL)
IV_OBJTP = 'URL'
On execution, i get URL link but the content table is empty.
Could anybody provide some input on how i get the content? Or may be how i can create pdf from the URL link and attach it to mail as an attachment?
Thanks,

Hi Amit,
Solution provided by you is working when the link length is one line but it is not working for more than one line
Eg: say link is https://......80 [80 characters long]
I will give <a href="https://...72 [in first line]
 73..80">click here</a> [in second line]
I will get the output as 73...80">click here
But i want only CLICK HERE in my output..
Please suggest solution.
Thanks,
Kavya

How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 prof which came bundled with ScanSnap.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I have been trying to 'Create pdf from file'.
Adobe won't load an RTF file, a Pages file or a Word file.
It tells me to use the source application and print with Adobe PDF. When I try to do this I get the message
Printer Ready
You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
I have tried software update but Apple has not supplied an update for the Adobe printer.
SO, what software do I need and where do I find it, to make Acrobat usable?
