Open a PDF from Flash projector file?
Hi everyone,
im using Flash CS4 slide presentation to make a education CD. In the end of the slides i want to open a pdf file.
How can i do it? Is it a east way to do it?
I publish the project as a projector file. I tested to use GetURL but the file wont open. I have the pdf-file
in the same folder as the projector exe-file.
The education will be distributed on CD-ROM.
you need to adjust your flash player security settings:

Open .pdf from Flash projector app
We have a Flash application that will be distributed on CD. I
need to make a button that will open a .pdf file also residing on
the CD.
Do I use fscommand to do that and, if so, can someone give me
an example of the syntax?
TIA,
CarolynDon't think you can do this directly, as far as I know
(correct me if I'm wrong anyone) you can use fscommand to launch
applications but not specific files. I have done it in the past by
launching an app written in Applescript that in turn opens a
specific file, obviously this is mac specific but the same can be
achieved on a windows machine using a .bat file (I think).
I would be more specific but it was ages that I did it and I
can't find the project now. -
Opening external pdf from flash exe
I've looked around the site and I havent found anything
refering to this.
I'm creating an Interface in flash which will browse through
a list of pdfs. This interface will be published on a CD-ROM for
distribution.
How do I launch the pdfs directly from a link in the flash
exe? Since it is not playing within a browser I can't use getURL.
It's been years since I've had to do this, and the last time
I used the fsCommand to launch an exe file created in Director
which would in turn open the pdf file. I'm hoping there is a better
solution.

Opening a PDF from flash button
Hi guys,
I have not done this for a while and the old source files I got do not seem to work anymore in flash pro cs5. In the past I used ZINC and flash and these code lines:
the link to the PDF is loaded from an XML: " ... url="data\\presentations\\EN_Vienna_Opening_Session\\EN_JShepherd_Past&Present.pdf" ... "
the link is then stored in a flash variabl: " ... tPath = contentItems[0].childNodes[2].childNodes[3].attributes.url; ... "
the PDF is then opened with ZINC with: " ... mdm.System.exec(mdm.Application.path+tPath); ... "
I know this is not forum to support ZINC, but is there any other way of opening PDF files (so they open Acrobat outside FLash)?
Thanks,

Maybe it solves the problem, in case IE is a little bit picky. But I really don't know.

Need to open word document from flash projector on Windows and Mac
Hello,
I'm creating a flash program that will be put on a dvd. And the dvd should function well on both windows and mac.
I'm trying to open a word document on click of a button. I used geturl but it works only on windows but on mac it only opens a blank browser.
This is urgent and would be really grateful if I get any help to resolve this problem
Thanks,
SuniraI kind of doubt you could get Safari to open MS Office files. Short of actually getting MS Office for the Mac, the most workable option might be to get NeoOffice/J (a Mac-friendly version of OpenOffice from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php. It won't display some Office files 100% correctly (depending on how complex they are) but it can open and save them.

Open a pdf from a buffered stream versus file system?
With the PDF Library SDK is it possible to open a pdf from a stream versus the file system?
Yes, but not trivially. You would have to implement your own
ASFileSys, which is a method for accessing "files". This is a
collection of methods, rather like an object oriented class, but in C.
You would have to support get, put, open, random access, file naming
etc.

You don't have any other options because flash can't open any
files
except executable type. getURL is the only way if using flash
itself.
You could go with BAT files but it will produce ugly black
dos window
while processing the call. If you need it neat and easy than
only with
3rd party tools.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up DOS windows :)
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty old
but it should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/07_launchapp_01.asp
Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

CS4 Flash Projector File and Authenticode (Code Signing)
I have a flash projector file (.exe) that I need to add Code Signing to it so it does not say 'Unknown Publisher' in Vista. I read that for CS3 there is no authenticode signing. Was this added in CS4? I just want to check before I go ahead and purchase a 3rd party app like Juggler. Does anyone else have a suggestion for software to add authenticode signature to a CS4 flash projector file? Jugglor is pretty old (2007) and I would like to know if there are more recent apps to package and sign projector files.
Thanks for any info.
DougYou can use a tool from Miscsoft to sign your projector. Here's how:
1) Buy a code signing certificate from someone like COMODO, Entrust Thawte, or VeriSign
2) Download the command line code signing tool from Microsoft - SignTool.exe
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz(VS.80).aspx
2) Follow these instructions

Open an Applescript from Flash
Hello,
I woud like to know, how I can open an Applescript from
Flash. I have an Applescript to open a external document (pdf,
jpeg....) and it works when I open it. But I do a CDRom and I would
like to execute this script from Flash. I have put this in flash :
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "apfichier.app");
but nothing happen. Thanks for your help, I'm
desperate....You will have to use a third party tool. Flash cannot do this
alone.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file
When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

Hi Guys,
I know this is a borderline ApEx problem but I have a page whose sole job is to open a pdf from a blob stored in the database.
This code works for most client machines:
DECLARE
l_blob blob;
BEGIN
SELECT letter INTO l_blob
FROM letters
WHERE lett_id = :P44_LETT_ID;
-- owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
-- tried pdf and octet they work the same?????
owa_util.mime_header('application/octet',false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
END;
On some machines I get 'Windows cannot open this file ...File: f[7] ...To open this file..........
On most machines this works fine.
I haven't got it to fail with Firefox yet, just IE but only a few machines running IE. Client getting annoyed and I starting to stress.
Many thanks

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.
Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. -
