How to create dynamic PDF drawings

I once saw somewhere a PDF file that contained a drawing frame and the content of the drawing within that frame could be dynamically moved around within the drawing frame by the user (i.e. the content could be panned around, in this case the content was OS maptiles with design information on top covering an area 20 times larger than the drawing frame could display). This allowed the user to move the content to suit their requirements and print different areas of the drawing as and when they desired yet still retained a drawing frame & title block etc.
How does one go about producing such a PDF file that would allow the end user to move content around within a framed view?

    Thanks

    I posted a link in this thread to a lib that lets you create PDFs from an app. They have a Java version. I have not used it but I know someone who used it with Microsoft ASP and they liked it.

  • How to create dynamic 'rack drawings' with Oracle forms

    Hallo, I work for a telecom company.
    We have used Oracle Forms and Reports from the beginning and we are now on version 10.2 but upgrading til 11.2.
    I got a request to make  'dynamic rack drawings' to display what equipment are located in what racks.
    The suggestion is to calculate coordinates(position, height) and send it to our GIS-system to do the dynamic drawing bit.
    The 'drawing' is just simple boxes with various height with a name in it to mark different types of equipment.
    So my question is... How should we draw these boxes dynamically to display our racks including the equipment installed there?
    Something like this With a header and a footer.
    1          XXXXXX-12                         1
    2                                                  2
    3         yyyyyy-32                          3
    4                                                  4
    5           zzzz-11                           5
    6                                                  6
    40                                               40

    I wouldn't do the drawing part in Forms. Luckily there are Java Beans available in Webforms which you could use to visualize your data in a more complex way.
    For more informations on Java Beans and how they are used in Forms google gives you a good impression

  • How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

    Dear All,
    I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast  two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
    I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
    When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
    However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say,  three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join  them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
    Please help me out.
    I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

    I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
    I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

    But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
    even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
    and give impression of user-centeredness.

    Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
    I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
    extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.
    > And, if you read that same document, you will see that there is NO SUCH

    Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
    know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
    I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
    possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
    miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
    and then with no details.

  • How to create dynamic context based on a structure defined in the program?

    Hi Experts,
             I need to create a dynamic context based on a structure wa_struc which i have define programatically.

    Hi Michelle,
              First of all Special thanks for your informative answers to my other forum questions. I really appreciate your help.
    Coming back to this question I am still waiting for an answer. Please help. Note that my structure is not in a dictionary.
    I am trying to create a new node. That is
    CONTEXT
    - DYNFLIGHT
    CARRID
    CONNID
    As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
    Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition
    I have updated my code like the following and I am getting error:
    TYPES: BEGIN OF t_type,
    CARRID TYPE sflight-carrid,
    CONNID TYPE sflight-connid,
    END OF t_type.
    Data: i_struc type table of t_type,
    dyn_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
    rootnode_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
    i_node_att type wdr_context_attr_info_map,
    wa_node_att type line of wdr_context_attr_info_map.
    wa_node_att-name = 'CARRID'.
    wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CARRID'.
    insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
    wa_node_att-name = 'CONNID'.
    wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CONNID'.
    insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
    clear i_struc. refresh i_struc.
    select carrid connid into corresponding fields of table i_struc from sflight where carrid = 'AA'.
    rootnode_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
    rootnode_info->add_new_child_node( name = 'DYNFLIGHT'
    attributes = i_node_att
    is_multiple = abap_true ).
    dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'DYNFLIGHT' ).
    dyn_node->bind_table( i_struc ).
    l_ref_interfacecontroller->set_data( dyn_node ).
    But now I am getting the following error :
    The following error text was processed in the system PET : Line types of an internal table and a work area not compatible.
    The error occurred on the application server FMSAP995_PET_02 and in the work process 0 .

  • 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?
    Yuri
    Imac
    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.

    1. I have a HashMap with dataok ... fair enough.
    2. depending on its size, i need to create variable
    to store them.uhm ... why? If you have a variable number of elements in the map then you'd need to generate a variable number of variables (a number, that is not know at compile time, as it seems). Now if you could somehow create those variables, how would you access them? You'd have to generate the code handling them as well ...
    Tell us what kind of data you've got and what you want to do with it. There's certainly a better solution to your problem.

  • Best way to create dynamic pdf's

    I've a cfm template displaying an invoice (one image -logo,

    It would be great to give them the option of downloading a
    pdf of that page
    (built dynamically from invoice id passed to the template).
    I have mx6.something, not mx7, so am thinking cfdocument
    isn't for me.
    I am familair (only just) with cfcontent, but it's obvious I
    need something
    else to display the content as a pdf.
    What is the best way to achieve this? Is the any free cfc's
    or the like or?
    Any help would be great, tks.
