Is there a library for dealing with .pdf files in AIR? Specifically, I want to fill in fields in a p

Hello,
I am trying to populate fields in a fillable .pdf from AIR. I have done some thinking on this, but all of my ideas seem a bit roundabout. Has anyone done anything similar? Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

Here is an Apple Script that will do this for you.

Sorry that you had to do this by hand. I did the same thing before I found this script.

  • Creating EPub for iBooks with PDF FIles

    I have a pdf file of a magazine that I print every month and am looking at the best way of getting it into iBooks and ultimately the iTunes store for others to download and view on iPads.  I've tried a few things, but seem to be hitting a brick wall every time...
    The pdf files are around 50 pages each, in A4 format.  I have tried using iBooks author but their format is different to this and I can't seem to get my A4 page size in there.  I realise now that IBA is more for digital publication and their layout differs from that of print.  But is there any way I can do this?
    I have also been trying to use Pages to output my ePub file, which works to an extent.  I drag and drop my individual pdf pages into a new Pages word processing document, make sure thay are in-line and resize them to fit the page, which is A4.
    I tried this with the first few pages, exported as ePub and imported via dropbox to my iPad 3.  It shows up in my iBooks library, opens up and I can see my pdf pages, but they are a lot smaller than the ipad screen, and I cannot navigate around the page by pinching and zooming.  When I try this, it selects the page "image" and highlights it in blue with the "copy, select, highlight" dialogue.
    I have tried making the Pages document A3 size, resizing the pdfs in it to those dimensions and exporting the same, but in iBooks they are always a good third smaller than the size of the screen.
    So is there any way I can get my A4 pdf files together as an iBook/ePub file that I can read in iBooks full screen?
    Thanks!

    hey pstretton
    A program that may be of use to you is Calibre.  You can format your PDF document to pretty much any type of mobile reader output you like.  http://calibre-ebook.com/
    When converting PDFs results can be mixed.
    I also recommend Sigil http://code.google.com/p/sigil/

  • Is there Mac software for repairing corrupted pdf files?

    Using Mac 10.5.8, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2.
    Many of my pdf files are encrypted on a sparsebundle disk image, as they are personal financial files.
    Randomly files become corrupted, and even though I back up, it is a recurring and very time-consuming problem.
    It's basically the only problem I have with my system, and because of the importance of the files very frustrating.
    There are PC-based file repair programs. I've come across references to a command-line program, but hey, I'm a Mac user, right?
    Is there anything?
    And while we're at it, what can I do to prevent files from becoming corrupted? These are files from my scanner, not downloaded.
    Thanks

    See this list for Cameras that are compatiblie with iMovie. Almost all Sony cameras made in the last 5 years work with iMovie, so odds are high that your camera will work. The only exception is that some manufacturers have started providing 60P cameras. These cannot be used at 60P in iMovie (or on a TV set for that matter). But these cameras typically have other settings like 30P or 60i that work fine.
    The bundled software with the Sony is Windows software. They do not bundle Mac software with Sonys because iMovie comes with every Mac anyway, and that is all you need.
    I think your camera works with an SDHC card. You can easily insert the SDHC card into a card reader and import the footage. New iMacs have card readers built into the side. In iMovie, you just start iMovie. Then insert the card and wait for iMovie to see it. Or you can click the camera icon on the middle toolbar if it does not see it.
    You can also attach your camera via USB. In this case, the camera must be plugged into wall power, and you attach via a USB cable.
    Follow the instructions in the manual for how to set the controls of the camera during import.
    Edited to add...You need a Mac with at least an Intel Processor to import from this camera. Older PowerPC models (G5, G4) will not work. Even with them you can get third party software to convert to a form iMovie can handle.

  • Question: Best Strategy for Dealing with Large Files 1GB

    Hi Everyone,
    I have to build a UCM system for large files > 1GB.
    What will be the best way to upload them (applet, checkin form, webdav)?
    Also what will be the best way to download them (applet, web form, webdav)?
    Any tips will be greatly appreciated
    Tal.

    Not sure what the official best practice is, but I prefer to get the file on the servers file system first (file copy) and check it in from that path. This would require a customization / calling a custom service.

  • Best practice for dealing with Recordsets

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering what is best practice for dealing with data retrieved via JDBC as Recordsets without involving third part products such as Hibernate etc. I've been told to NOT use RecordSets throughout in my applications since they are taking up resources and are expensive. I'm wondering which collection type is best to convert RecordSets into. The apps I'm building are webbased using JSPs as presentation layer, beans and servlets.
    Many thanks

    There is no requirement that DAO's have a direct mapping to Database Tables. One of the advantages of the DAO pattern is that the business layer isn't directly aware of the persistence layer. If the joined data is used in the business code as if it were an unnormalized table, then you might want to provide a DAO for the joined data. If the joined data provides a subsiduray object within some particular object, you might add the access method to the DAO for the outer object.
    eg:
    In a user permissioning system where:
    1 user has many userRoles
    1 role has many userRoles
    1 role has many rolePermissions
    1 permission has many rolePermissions
    ie. there is a many to many relationship between users and roles, and between roles and permissions.
    The administrator needs to be able to add and delete permissions for roles and roles for users, so the crud for the rolePermissions table is probably most useful in the RoleDAO, and the crud for the userRoles table in the UserDAO. DOA's also can call each other.
    During operation the system needs to be able to get all permissions for a user at login, so the UserDAO should provide a readPermissions method that does a rather complex join across the user, userRole, rolePermission and permission tables..
    Note that f the system I just described were done with LDAP, a Hierarchical database or an Object database, the userRoles and rolePermissions tables wouldn't even exist, these are RDBMS artifacts since relational databases don't understand many to many relationships. This is good reason to avoid providing DAO's that give access to those tables.

  • What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

    Hello All,
    I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
    Our current process is as follows:
    All materials are set up as HIBE's
    Each material is batch managed
    The Batch field is used for the Bin location
    We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
    Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
    We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi,
    I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
    1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
    2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
    3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
    As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.
    Regards,
    Maheswaran.

    Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

    When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

  • What's best strategy for dealing with 40+ hours of footage

    We have been editing a documentary with 45+ hours of footage and presently have captured roughly 230 gb. Needless to say it's a lot of files. What's the best strategy for dealing with so much captured footage? It's almost impossible to remember it all and labeling it while logging it seems inadequate as it difficult to actually read comments in dozens and dozens of folders.
    Just looking for suggestions on how to deal with this problem for this and future projects.
    G5 Dual Core 2.3   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5 g ram, 2 internal sata 2 250gb

    Ditto, ditto, ditto on all of the previous posts. I've done four long form documentaries.
    First I listen to all the the sound bytes and digitize only the ones that I think I will need. I will take in much more than I use, but I like to transcribe bytes from the non-linear timeline. It's easier for me.
    I had so many interviews in the last doc that I gave each interviewee a bin. You must decide how you want to organize the sound bytes. Do you want a bin for each interviewee or do you want to do it by subject. That will depend on you documentary and subject matter.
    I then have b-roll bins. Sometime I base them on location and sometimes I base them on subject matter. This last time I based them on location because I would have a good idea of what was in each bin by remembering where and when it was shot.
    Perhaps, you weren't at the shoot and do not have this advantage. It's crucial that you organize you b-roll bins in a way that makes sense to you.
    I then have music bins and bins for my voice over.
    Many folks recommend that you work in small sequences and nest. This is a good idea for long form stuff. That way you don't get lost in the timeline.
    I also make a "used" bin. Once I've used a shot I pull it out of the bin and put it "away" That keeps me from repeatedly looking at footage that I've already used.
    The previous posts are right. If you've digitized 45 hours of footage you've put in too much. It's time to start deleting some media. Remember that when you hit the edit suite, you should be one the downhill slide. You should have a script and a clear idea of where you're going.
    I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times that I've had producers walk into my edit suite with a bunch of raw tape and tell me that that "want to make something cool." They generally have no idea where they're going and end up wondering why the process is so hard.
    Refine your story and base your clip selections on that story.
    Good luck

  • Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

    Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

    Yes. The Bamboo stylus is fully supported. Only the soft rubber tipped side. The Pen side obviosuly not.
    Note all stylus that work with the iPad are noticeably thicker than a pen or pencil, so precision is not something you'll get much of.
    Look at the link I provided, all those stylus work with iPad. See if you like one of those. Or if you can fnd one of those were you live.

  • Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

  • Is there an ap for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?

    I seem to have a corrupt file(s) which cause my MacBook Pro to freeze inexplicably (and randomly) upon start-up. I've been told that this is a symptom of having a corrupt file.
    Is there an an for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?
    I'm pretty much bound to my computer and simply don't have the time to go through it manually.
    Thank you.

    This is an old post and I am not the person who posted the original query, but I ran your terminal diagnostic and am hoping you are still attending to this forum. I have a mid 2011 macbook Air 11", 256 GB SSD, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB  1333 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 Lion. I have had various problems in my user homefolder for a while. I have gone through quite a few other troubleshooting and fixing steps, the most extensive following a posting here "Step by Step to fix your mac" by ds store in the Apple forums. These steps helped a lot. I did remove some 3rd party software as part of this process.
    My computer is running well in general now, but one thing that has been a recurring problem is problems with move/cut-paste. I researched this online and ACL's being present where they're not supposed to be seems to be an issue. I have used terminal commands to remove ACL's, used Onyx to repair user permissions, rebooted with command-r to reset password screen and reset user permissions. They all help, but then a some point later on the problem recurs. When I run repair disk permissions with either disk utility or onyx I always get this message:
    Repairing permissions for “maggieairHD”
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ACL found but not expected on “Users”
    Repaired “Users”
    Permissions repair complete
    This ALWAYS comes up, even if I run it immediately after running it and haven't done anything else on the computer in between.
    I created another user and did not have the same problems I was having at the time with some programs, although I haven't used it that much to be able to really compare. The home folder permissions repair in Onyx comes out the same in that user, though.
    Here are my results from your diagnostic terminal commands:

    Maggies-MacBook-Air:~ maggieair$
    I have removed NoSleep, Caffeine, itunesHelper and Dropbox from login items before and didn't notice any difference, so I put them back. Some of these I know I don't want, like rim/blackberry, adobe AIR. Skype has never worked consistently on this computer. I don't use most of these Services, and I know I had trouble with some that were not compatible with Lion before. I am not using Parallels much now, have been thinking about taking it off as it uses a chunk of my SSD. But I don't feel confident about getting rid of .frameworks etc safely.
    I am glad to remove anything I don't use if I know how to do it safely. I am willing to remove anything I do use if it's necessary, but obviously would prefer to find a way to keep things that I find helpful.
    I appreciate any suggestions!

  • We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions

    we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • LTFS is slow when dealing with many files

    Working with LTFS on Windows 7 64, I find find that it slows down significantly when dealing with many files (>1500)
    From the behaviour, I suspect that it has to do with the number of file handles.
    Some LTFS vendors have a copy utility that deals very well with this situation.
    I could not find anything like that for HP.
    Does it exist? Is there an open source solution?
    Thank you,
    - Bartels

    Can someone from the Experts please respond?
    Your LTFS solution is in certain situations much slower than the competitors; the difference is a huge factor three..
    I would really like to know if there is a solution or not. Either way.

  • Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

    Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
    After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
    Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
    I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
    thx for any replies
    niki001

    Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
    I made a small step by step report of my findings:
    1. Attach camera to imac
    2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
    3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
    4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
    5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
    6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
    7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
    8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
    9. Shut down iPhoto.
    10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
    11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
    12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
    13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
    14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
    I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
    So, any idea's???
    thx

  • Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD): Anything to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch?

    Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD (due to multi-location living & lots of travel). Anything I need to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch? Thanks a lot for suggestions, recommendations, tips, experiences. Best, Joachim

    The switch should be straight forward but I would start by uninstalling LR 5. This is because there is no specific CC version of Lightroom and you can’t run the creative cloud version and the perpetual version on the same machine. Your catalog and images will be safe and will not be affected by uninstalling. CS4 will not be affected and will still work independently.
    Then launch CC desktop and go to the Apps tab. I would recommend installing in this order:
    Photoshop CC 2014
    Photoshop CC (if you need this to run old plug-ins)
    Lightroom 5
    If you install in that order LR will automatically recognize Photoshop for external editing from the LR Library.
