Appending PDFs on the fly

Just wondering if anyone can lend some advice on the best way
to append multiple PDFs using coldfusion. I have found a lot of
expensive thrd party standalone apps but none that i can use to
automate this type of concatonation, i really need to be able to do
it on the fly if possible.

Generate & Export PDF on the fly without holding entire pdf contents memory

Hello Everyone,
We are using Crystal Reports JRC (in our server side application. In a typical use-case the generated report is exported into the pdf format and streamed to the client/browser.
My question is with regards to the current interface/implementation of the JRC export api(s), which returns an InputStream which is basically a ByteArrayInputStream?, Why ByteArrayInputStream ? why not a custom InputStream imeplementation which really benefits from the streaming approach, and give you the option to stream the contents as they are generated on the fly, instead of it holding the entire report contents in a byte-array, as is the case with using ByteArrayInputStream. Since, this often seems to choke our system with regards to memory footprint, when the generated report contains huge dataset.
Please comment? Is that not possible ? Is there any reason why ByteArrayInputStream is the only way to retrieve the report contents ?
Thanks,
Farhan.

How do i adjust color in a pdf on the fly?

i need to pull back the yellow throughout a 100 page pdf. The color in the pdf prints perfectly now , but client wants to see one if yellow was pulled back 10%. there has to be a fast and dirty way to pint one on the fly with adjusted colors from my laser printer

PDF conversion on-the-fly

Hi all,
I'm investigating a website project where the requirement is
to provide the ability to upload PDF documents and display them in
Flash. I know that this kind of thing has been done with these
'page-flip' hosted systems, but this is somewhat different. I am
guessing, although I'm not certain, that the way to do this is to
use FlashPaper to convert the PDF on-the-fly to SWF's which can
then be loaded into the Flash, Flex or whatever application. I
don't really know the mechanics of setting up FlashPaper on a
remote server to do this though, can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

It sounds like you want to use Acrobat as a web service. Rather than pursue this route, you may want to note that such a use of Acrobat is not permitted under the license. Thus it may not worth pursuing. Why convert to HTML is a possible question anyway, at least on a regular basis? On occasions I can understand the need.
For programmable features you should probably check in the SDK forum.

How can I change the app that a .pdf attachment opens in on the fly w/o using Preference Pane?

I have the need to open some .pdf attachments in firefox (24) and some in Skim, pdf reader. I understand that the opening is set in the Preferences Pane. Is there a way or add on that will allow this on the fly ? Or place the option in the attachments dropdown menu on the attachments bar ? It would greatly speed things up.

You can select 'Always Ask' as action in preferences when opening a pdf attachment. So you'll be prompted every time and can choose which application to use.

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

Appending FLV files together on the fly

I have a website that accepts video uploads. I then of a
content management tool that always me to browse and uploaded
videos and approve or deny them.
For any I approve, I then convert the video to FLV, i then
want the automated process on my site to append a cookie cutter
trailer video to that uploaded video.
so my question is, how to append one FLV to another FLV
through code on the fly on the website?
any help appreciated
thanks
bill

hi,
with fms you can create a serverside stream playlist using
the stream object, this means you can interlace your trailer/advert
to appear anywhere within the stream dynamically without needing to
splice and reencode any videos you have.

Producing PDF files on the fly

I'm on a team of three developers. Unfortunately, all are novice level. We need to create PDF reports from data retrieved from the database. We are already displaying this information in a JSP page. I know there are some options out there. We just don't understand how to start. Anyone care to tutor me on this?

I dont know what you mean with tutor, but:
(1) Generate XML from the data in the database.
(2) Use XSL to transform your XML into XML-FO.
(3) Use FOP to transform XML-FO into PDF.
(4) Use a servlet (not a JSP) and write the bytes of the PDF to the response outputstream.

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Riceburner1,
Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
For Windows 8.1:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
For Windows XP:
1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file. Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name. If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.
7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
Hope this helps!

Problem in drawing image on the fly using jsp

I have been searching the forum and web for the problem but in vain. I have wrote a jsp which creates an image on the fly from the data selected from the database. But after the image is drawn, it throws an IllegalStateException. The offending code is at the time of releasePageContext() method of the compiled jsp. I am using the following code in jsp to display the image.
BufferedImage bi = obj.getBufferedImage();
javax.imageio.ImageIO.write(bi,"png",response.getOutputStream());
I even tried to do the same with servlet, but the problem is that when I am using forward action in jsp I am getting the image but the control is in the servlet and if I am including the servlet, I am getting junk characters instead of image. I have set the content type in servlet and also in jsp.
Thank you in advance.

Can we create a XDP file on the fly

Hi All,
I am new to Live Cycle.
I want to know if we can create an XDP file on the fly and immediately using this XDP file can form server create a PDF?
Need this info urgently..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vinay

There are several ways to do this. The third chapter in the
cookbook is a good place to start.
All things in ActionScript are based on objects. Constructing
them with the data needed for the ui information you will need and
then binding that data to your dashboard objects is basically what
you are going to be doing.
For me it makes the most sence to have an idea of what
different types of objects you will be creating and create some
extended components for those objects. Then when you recieve your
data, binary or xml, you can digest the configuration settings from
the layout and populate the constructor for each of your
components.
It sounds like you need to organize your layout structure in
a heirarchy and from that you can walk each branch and create each
set of things as you parse your data.
Without a bit more information as to what you are
specifically doing that is about as far as I can go minus adding in
some code along some line that I think might work.
Hope that helps some.

Append PDF files to create one large file

This is what I would like to do:
I have a .rar folder with numerous files in it.
Within the main folder, there are about 10 subfolders.
Each of these subfolders has about 15 PDF documents in them.
I would like to take all 150 (15 PDF's x 10 subfolders) PDF documents and append them into one large PDF document.
They are all in order. How could I accomplish this in LabVIEW?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I made this one a while ago.
Enter the path to the directory containing your pdf files.
Enter a pattern (ex. *.pdf).
Enter a name for the file to be created.
Run the VI. It'll fill the array with the files that match your pattern.
Enter the page numbers from each file that you want in in the output file into the Pages controls.
Hit "Go". It'll build your pdf with the selected pages using pdftk and System Exec.
You'll need to modify it to handle your use-case, but it should be easy (unless .rar indicates you're not working in Windows!)

How to rotate PDF with the automator?

Hello everybody!
I'd like to create a WorkFlow to rotate all the selected PDFs (one page PDF) of 90º.
In the PDFs section of the Automator there isn't anything like that.
Somebody can help me how to do it?
Thks a lot!
Enrico

Hello
You may use something like the following script, which will rotate pdf files on desktop by 90° CW (clock-wise) and save the rotated pdfs in ~/desktop/out directory with name with _RC90 appended; e.g. Given original name = abc.pdf, rotated pdf = abc_RC90.pdf. The ouput directory, if specified, must be present in advance. If ouput directory is not specified, rotated file is save in the same directory as the original resides in. Specify -90 or 270 to rotate 90° CCW (counter-clock-wise).
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/desktop || exit
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -w <<'EOF' - 90 *.pdf out
#      ARGV = angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]
#      * angle is measured in clock-wise and must be one of [-270, -180, -90, 90, 180, 270]
require 'osx/cocoa'
OSX.require_framework 'PDFKit'
include OSX
def usage
     raise ArgumentError, "Usage: #{File.basename($0)} angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]"
end
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
outdir = File.directory?(ARGV.last) ? ARGV.pop : nil
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
rota = (ARGV.shift.to_i + 360) % 360
usage unless [90, 180, 270].include? rota

     url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(f)
     doc = PDFDocument.alloc.initWithURL(url)
     unless doc
          $stderr.puts "Not a pdf file: %s" % [File.expand_path(f)]
          next
     end
     (0 .. (doc.pageCount - 1)).each { |i| doc.pageAtIndex(i).setRotation(rota) }
     bname = File.basename(f).sub(/\.pdf$/i, '')
     odir = outdir ? outdir : File.dirname(f)
     doc.writeToFile("#{odir}/#{bname}_RC#{rota}.pdf")
end
EOF
In order to make this as Automator workflow, use Run Shell Script action as follows.
shell = /bin/bash
pass input = as argument
code = as follows:

     odir = outdir ? outdir : File.dirname(f)
     doc.writeToFile("#{odir}/#{bname}_RC#{rota}.pdf")
