Add printing to an iOS app?

Is there a way to add print capabilities to an app created in Flash CS5.5?
I'm not really looking for a way to print what I see on the screen. What Basically have here is a database app, you scroll through, select a document, and then select print.
There's more to it than that, but thats pretty much how it will operate.
I can think of a few ways to do this, but I just don't know how to get the printing code going.
I could have it print from a number of PDFs that get bundled with the app.
I could have the app open the PDF in ibooks so then I could print it from there.... how would I do that?
I'm really at a loss here, there is no documentaion anywhere that describes how to do any of this, there isn't even anything to say you 'can't' do it. I thought this would be quite a popular topic and covered already.
Any help/links would be greatly appriecated.

Remove add-on purchases from iOS app?

I downloaded some free add-ons for an iOS app, and the add-ons turned out to consume 100 MB. Is it possible to remove them?

It depends upon the app - does it have a delete/remove option for them ? If not then you could delete the app from your device (which will delete any content/settings that you have in the app) and redownload it (if it's still in your country's store) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your device - that will hopefully just redownload the app, and not anything extra that you've downloaded in it.

Problem with ios app and Story plus

i have just install story plus
i wanted to try (luckily not on a real big project) the ios app so i've done some fake tv script on story.
After that, i have start to add comment on the ios app.
I see that i add comment on the projet page off my computer story plus interface
but when i go on the authoring page, the comments are not here!!!!!!!!
Then more problematic (definitively), when i go out and come back again to story i have a problem : it's now impossible to open these documents again!!!!!
I really need to find a solution
Thanks a lot

Hi,
We are aware of the issue with commenting in iOS app and are in process of fixing it.
Can you please mail us your Story login email id and names of the documents that you are not able to open at "AdobeStory-Support<at>adobe<dot>com" so that we can fix this issue for you ?

How to add a photo to a pdf form via the iOS app

How do I add a photo to a pdf form via the iOS app? I need to fill out a form for work using field observations and photos. I can easily fill out the text portions of the form but I'm unable to add the photos from my phone. Is this possible?

Does the form have a provision to insert images (e.g. a Browse button)?

Start Developing iOS Apps Today tutorial Edit button instead of Add button

In the Start Developing iOS Apps Today tutorial, I followed the instructions but after adding data (the final part), instead of seeing the + symbol, which should take me to the add item view, I saw the word edit, which took me to a screen where I could delete items.
The instructions say:
The actual code for viewDidLoad includes some additional lines—inserted by Xcode when it created XYZListViewController—that are commented out. Feel free to leave them in.
Referring to the following code in XYZToDoListTableViewController:
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
As it turns out, the bottom line overrides the add button with an edit button. The good news is that by changing rightBarButtonItem to leftBarButtonItem, the add symbol reappears, and the Edit button is moved to the other side.

make sure u wrote the method in XYZToDoListViewController.m rather than XYZAddToDoItemViewController.m

AiO Remote iOS app -scanning A4

I have a Photosmart 5515 All in One printer and have been using the iOS app AiO Remote app to scan in some A4 pages. I set the app to scan to a document and also the page size to A4. Looking at the resultant document it has scaled the the document down. It has centralised the document but you end up with margins of a couple of inches all round.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Hi Rturner003,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are encountering difficulties when scanning A4 documents with HP's All-in-One Printer Remote app.
I did some testing on this with an iPad and 3 different ePrint capable printers and each time I was able to recreate it. However that doesn't mean we are kippered. I have included a link to a post on the forums and the key part for you to get your A4 scanned document to print the document as you require, please follow step 3 after you have scanned the image. The key is to pinch the image to the size you would like.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Add Printer issue on Mac

I purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8610 and cannot get it successfully set up on my MacBook Pro (operating OS X 10.7.5). During the "Add Printer" phase, I receive the following error message: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I've downloaded and completed the steps up to this point by using the link from install CD (HP-Officejet-Pro-8610_v12.32.0.dmg) and by downloading after unsuccessfully troubleshooting from the HP webite (HP-Officejet-Pro_8610_12.32.0-2.dmg).
Can you please assist in determing what my next step should be?

Hi,
First reboot your Mac, then click the Apple icon and select Software Update.
From the listed app store click the Store menu and then on Repload Page.
Be sure to install any listed HP or Apple update.
Once you are done, open Print & Scan and try adding the printer again.
May you see any difference?

HP ePrint iOS app no longer finds Photosmart C4780 after app update

I have an HP Photosmart C4780 connected through WiFi to my network but sadly it's not supported by AirPrint on iDevices.
So, I was using HP ePrint Home & Biz iOS app (version 4.1) which was very useful for me as it found the printer and allowed me to print from my iPad/iPhone.
Today I updated the app on my iPhone to version 5 (now simply named "HP ePrint" on the App Store) and after the update, the new version doesn't find my Photosmart C4780 anymore. I did the Activation thing on the iPhone, as it was requested to refresh the list of printer on my network in the All tab, but after Refresh no printer is found.
Still I have the old 4.1 on my iPad (and hopefully in my iTunes library) and the printer is located, I assume, through mDSN as it shows the name specified for this setting.
So, question is: Did you dropped support for Photosmart C4780 on 5.0 release of HP ePrint iOS app? If so, why did't you informed this appropriately on the app update text description in the App Store? A message like "some printers may not be supported anymore" would have been helpul.
If HP ePrint should find Photosmart C4700 series printers and this is an issue, how should we proceed from here?
Thanks.

WilliamBPS,
I was not informed that support was removed from the app for certain printers. It may have been lost in the transition to the new updated app. I will deffinitly pass this information along as it is very important that the app supports as many printers as it can. I'll go ahead and take note of your printer model. If I find anything out about this, I'll try to give you an update in this thread.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus Printer will connect to apps but will not connect to EPrint

OS MAC 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I am using a wireless connection, no USB, and everything worked fine at one time. Recently, all remote printing, including Airprint stopped connecting. I am unable to access anything on the HP website via the printer except for the Apps. My network is working fine and I have done all the troubleshooting steps recommended throughout the Help system with the exception of returning the printer to factory defaults. Unfortunately, I removed the printer from my ePrint account and have now lost access to my printer e-mail/claiming code. Thus, I can do no troubleshooting via the HP website. I have tried using the original code the printer came with and the e-mail I changed the printer to after installing it and neither works. I have a bad feeling I will not be able to use the ePrint features any longer with this printer and with my warrantee expired, I will be thoroughly po'ed about this.

Hello lynnmilicevic,
First I want to reassure you by letting you know that the web services support has no expiration. Next I want to address the issue with ePrint. You will not have to take the printer completely back to factory settings, but you will have to disable and re-enable the printer's web services. You can remove the web services by going to the setup menu, select the web services setup, select restore factory defaults ( note, this only restores web services to the factory defaults, everything else, i.e. wireless, fax, ect., will still have the settings that you have created), and select yes. You will get a message saying that the web services have been reset. Now go back to the setup menu, select web services, and follow the prompts to re-enable web services. Once you have the web services enabled again, you will have to go the eprintcenter.com, log in, and add the printer to the account again. A very unfortionate part of this is that you will not be able to get the same custom e-mail for your printer. The original custom e-mail will be locked for about 6 months. If this does not help, let me know and I will see what can be done.

Can I print a image larger than 4x6 directly from iPad's photo application to a HP Air Print printer without a additional app?

Can I print a image larger than 4x6 directly from iPad's photo application to a HP Air Print printer without a additional app?

It depends upon the capabilities of your printer. If you have an HP printer with a photo tray then the Photo app will print to whatever size you load in to that tray.
There's some more information here:
Using AirPrint to Print Various Photo Sizes
With other printers the user is given a choice from the printer's loaded paper sizes. You can see an example of that here:
The Many Faces of the iOS Print Panel

Use your own iOS app on your own iOS device without buying a developer program.

This is no question; it is simply a request that you make it possible for people with the free developer program to use their own iOS apps that they built themselves without having to pay $99 a year.
This is because loads of people want to build small apps for themselves, and can do so easily now that Xcode is free on the AppStore. The main problem with this is that they have to pay to simply do this.
So this is in a way a petition for all you people who are the same; who have written your own iOS apps for your personal use only, apps that shall not be distributed and only serve to show what you can do or help a family game to get Apple to make this small thing possible for you (us).
So please post here if you want the same.
Thank you.

As always, feel free to use Report a Bug for any samples, doc additions, feature requests or enhancements you'd like to see as well. Add your BR# to this thread for reference, thanks.
But I wouldn't hold my breath on this one....it would only result in immediate scams.

How do I localize Flash CS5.5 iOS app to one language

What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?
I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
Thanks much, Jon

Well, I followed the iOS language list in iTunes thread in this forum and was able to get rid of them all. I have to say that not any single reply in the thread was exactly right. It took a combination of Saumitra Bhave's and spinlight's replies and mass of trial and error to get it all to work. Even the App loader utility came up as obsolete! I have uploaded the updated binary to Apple and am awaiting their approval. The biggest issue is the placement of and actual coding in the entitlements plist; spinlight had the right idea, but, at least in my case, was coded out a bit different. Also, it was not exactly apparent that you had to use the teminal untility to recodesign the app after tearing it apart. Thank the heavens I have a least a basic understanding of how things work on the Mac and was able to puzzle it out. If Apple approves the app and all things look good, I will follow up here with what I did. Of course, if Adobe would kill this bug with a giant can of bug spray, this crazy work around wouldn't be needed...
Thanks much, Jon

PDF generated in iOS app opens iOS adobe but is blank in Windows and Mac adobe

I generated a PDF in an iOS app called iThoughts and I am able to export directly to iOS Adobe, or e-mail the PDF. When I export directly to Adobe the PDF opens fine in the Adobe iOS app, when I try to open the PDF on a windows machine or Mac machine the page is blank, all white. When I click the preview on Gmail I see the PDF fine. When I open the PDF in my mac preview desktop app it works fine. I did try to save from export from preview and this did not work, same results. When I open the PDF in iOS from the email it works fine also. The iThoughts generated PDF mind-map in this instance is very large. When I generated a branch of the map it works fine. If the map is smaller it works fine. This is a single page PDF. When I had notes on the same mind map the PDF was two pages and the only thing visible was page 2 with the notes on it, not map. I am going to send the developer of the iThoughts app an e-mail but I thought this would be a better place since I can open the PDF in my iOS app but not on a desktop program. I have done this with iOS 6 and now with iOS 7 with the same results.

Thank you very much. Is this the case for Adobe pro also? I am using Adobe Pro at work and it doesn't work either.
Are there any work arounds to be able to view / print / open in Adobe pro to be able to use the search funciton? That was my point of creating one map so we can search one page with all the settings as listed on the attached PDF. I am glad, but seems odd I can view and search this document on my iPad iOS version of Adobe reader. Thank you for this option at least. I guess this will push getting more iPads at work, LOL.
Thanks again for your time and I hope to hear of some work around to be able to search this larget page PDF besides cutting it into 2 pages.

Need Help testing iOS app created in Flash Pro Cs5.5

I've followed several instructions on how to develop a simple iOS app. I've managed to go all the way through and Publish + create the .ipa. I'm able to then add the file to my iTunes library, but when I then try to add it to my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) I get the following error:
The app "XXXXXX" was not installed on the iPod "XXXXX's Ipod" because it is not compatible with this iPod.
I've even tried it with a simple "Hello World!" app but I get the same error.
I'm using Flash Pro Cs5.5 on a Windows PC.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem with my iphone 3G. I tried publishing the exact same simple flash app to my iphone, which I already previously tested succesfully, after having downloaded flash 5.5, and now I get the following message (which, I believe, is identical to yours kinant87) :
"The app "Main" was not installed on the iPhone "Norgaard" because it is not compatible with this iPhone."
I was trying to make another small app, when I got this problem, which is why I went back to re-test the app I knew was working!
I've reinstalled all my apple certificates, and also tried using flash builder 4.5, with the same result.
I also have not jail broken my phone, and was starting to think perhaps the iPhone 3G was no longer supported?
