Best option for PDFs with limited interactivity

We've recently published a fully interactive folio into a multi-folio app for a client using DPS, but they've asked if some of their weekly/fortnightly print publications could be added to their app as folios without interactivity.
In other words, these are "specials" publications which have a very short shelf-life and don't require any interactivity (other than perhaps tappable links to their ordering websites etc).
Can PDFs be turned into folios through InDesign/DPS, and published to an existing app so that my customer's clients can view all my client's publications this way?
We would continue to publish interactive folios for the app, which have a longer shelf-life (say quarterly or yearly), but these quick turnaround "specials" publications don't have enough lead time (and we don't have enough staffing resources) to produce useful overlays and interactivity for each of them.
Cheers,
Eoghan.

Thanks Andrea,
I haven't been able to find any links to information about the "trick" of reading a PDF directly into an app on the link you provided. Maybe it's hidden, or not applicable any more.
Out of curiosity, if we created a PDF with some limited links to websites etc, then read that into an app, will those links still work?
Ideally, our customer wants some folios in their app to be interactive, and some to be basic pdf-style publications, but all of them housed within the one app.
Cheers,
Eoghan.

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

    It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
    an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
    ³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
    If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
    ³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
    In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
    be.

  • Best option for Asynchronous method invocation? JMS or Pure Java Thread

    Hi,
    We've a swing based Client application which is supposed to run with a server in J2EE environment. Some process like Search etc are very time consuming. So we are going for asynchronous process.
    Now the question is to find a best option for this. Two possible candidates are
    1. JMS
    2. Java Thread.
    Can anybody suggest me which one is the best option in this context?

    Actually my thought was the issues with code maintainability.Maintainability is different issue, it is much related to OOAD and design pattern you might want to choose to avoid coupling (thus high reusability and maintainability - eg: for future enhancement, etc)..
    public interface SearchService {
         public static class DefaultFactory {
                 public SearchService getInstance() {
                          return HttpSearchService.getInstance();
         public void search (String[] keywords, Observer obs);
    public class HttpSearchService implements SearchService {
         public static HttpSearchService getInstance() {
                ... bla bla bla singleton ...
         public void search(final String [] keywords, final Observer obs) {
                     (new Thread() {
                              public void run() {
                                    .. do http request ...
                                    List result =  ... parse http response ...
                                    obs.update(list);
                     }).start();
    SearchService ss = SearchService.DefaultFactory.getInstance();
    ss.search( new String[] { "get", "me", "my" , "dukes" }, myTableModel );
    ...You can, in future, replace the default factory HttpSearchService with something faster, more appropriate SearchService, without changing many codes.

  • Best method for networking with ubuntu linux

    Hi,
    I'm setting up an ubuntu linux fileserver, and I was wondering what the best method for filesharing with my mac is. I'm currently running osx 10.4.11, though I may be upgrading to 10.5 soon. I'll be running SMB networking for a couple of other computers, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust that can handle file permissions etc.

    Mac OS X supports NSF out of the box. Configuration isn't documented.
    I recall Apple got rid of net info manager in Leopard, so the configuration will be different. Perhaps more unix like.
    Mac OS X support the Unix Network File System (NFS). However, it leaves out
    the GUI.
    This page show you how to use NetInfo Manager:
    http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/mac-os-x-as-nfs-server.html#c1168221713 40271068
    NFS Manager can both setup NFS shares and connect to NFS shares.
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html
    Once you figure out how NFS Manager configures the NFS shares, you can
    use Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager to create more shares.
    You will either have to coordinate Unix Userid number and Unix Group Id number or use the mapall option on the share.
    To find out your Mac OS X userid and group id do:
    applications > utilities > terminal
    ls -ln
    ls -l
    # lists the NFS share on your mac
    showmount -e localhost
    #list NFS shares on a remote host
    showmount -e remote-ip-address
    Once you see what NFS Manager does, you will be able to use NetInfo Manager to manage a connection. In Mac OS 10.4 you can configure the /etc/exports control file. See man exports for the details. Before that you had to have the data in NetInfo manager. When Mac OS X came out, many common Unix control files were not present. Instead the data had to be in NetInfo manager. Over time Apple has added more and more standard Unix control files.
    ======
    You do know about the need to match userids & groupids.
    # display uid and gid
    ls -ln
    sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec ls '-l' {} \;
    # on Mac OS X
    you will need to go into NetInfo Manager and select user and find your short-user-name. Change uid and guid.
    #on Linux look in
    /etc/passwd
    /etc/group
    # with care...
    # change 1000:20 to your values for uid:gid
    sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec chown 1000:20 {} \;
    The manual for Tenon MachTen UNIX (which Apple checked when doing Mac OS
    X) says that one should crate the file /etc/exports, which will cause
    portmap, mountd and nsfd to launch at startup via the /etc/rc file. The
    file must not contain any blank lines or comments, and each line has the
    syntax
    directory -option[, option] hostlist
    where 'directory is the pathname of the directory that can be exported,
    and 'hostlist' is a space separated list of hostnames that can access the
    directory. For example
    /usr -ro foo bar
    /etc
    /Applications
    /User/gladys gladys
    The client the uses a command like
    /sbin/mount -t type [-rw] -o [options] server:directory mount_point
    where 'type' is 'nfs', 'server' the name of the server, 'directory' the
    server directory mounted, and 'mount_point' the client mount point. See
    'man mount' for details.
    I haven't tried the above, but it would be nice to know if it works on Mac OS X.
    Hans Aberg
    This will give you some hints on NFS. Post back your questions.

  • Best option for optical au

    Hey guys,
    just a query - i have an audigy 2 ZS currently, and a high end yamaha 7. amplifier.
    what im wanting to do is connect this up via optical .. its currently connected via RCA and it seems to get confused as to which is the sub and which is the centre, despite me trying all combinations of cabling.
    so i thought an optical wire from soundcard to amplifier would be the best way ?
    i've read somewhere that if i do this, and play 2. audio (mp3s), my rear channel will be disabled ? surely thats not true ? - reason for saying this is i've seen home theatre setups where a CD player is hooked up to an amp via optical, and it still produces audio through the rear channels.
    whats the best option to run this via optical ? do i need to purchase a new sound card ? if so, what is the best option for me ?
    id rather quality than cheaping out on something that 'will do the job', but options are always welcome
    mostly i listen to music with a bit of bass, i dont do a whole heap of gaming, so i guess music is the focus.
    Thanks !

    ReaperZ,
    The center is on the nominally-left-channel RCA, so the likely-red-coded, nominally-right-channel RCA is your subwoofer connector.
    I don't have the same soundcard model, and I can't give you blow-by-blow detail, but try looking in the Bass Management tab of the Speaker Settings control, or you may find something in the THX Setup Console, for bass redirection. You should at least find subwoofer volume and crossover-frequency sliders, and you also might find a center volume control. I'm a proponent of running all soundcard volumes at 00% and controlling listening volume and speaker balance at the amp, since this maximizes the digital SNR, but it can also be less convenient.
    Run through the receiver manual's troubleshooting section for "No sound from the center speaker" and "No sound from the subwoofer" just to rule out a setting problem on the receiver side.
    Then use "Manually adjusting speaker levels" on pg 45 of the receiver manual, with? MULTI CH IN selected on the remote control, to max the SWFR level (+0dB). Most receivers have separate level settings for their multi-channel input, so it is usually advantageous to provide the +0dB boost this way so it is in effect only when using the soundcard. This boost can be increased further by lowering all of the other settings the same number of dB's: if you subtract dB from all of the others, the effect is to increase the relati've subwoofer volume by dB.
    Try using this information and let us know what happens.

  • Best option for remote downlinking

    I am going to be streaming video/audio to some clients all over the US, all of which will be using PC's.
    90% of the time they are going to be in locations where a hardline to the internet isn't possible.
    What is the best option for them to access my stream as well as provide me back a webcam feed?
    Is a cell phone card as good as it gets now?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Your options here are entirely and completely dependent on the local network services. This could include cellular data packet networks (and there are various flavors), WISP, satellite data (Iridium, GlobalStar and such), dial-up at speeds anywhere from roughly 50 kilobaud down to unusable, local WiFi networks, or otherwise.
    Satellite networks are the most pervasive, though do have technical limits and do have among the highest of the high prices. I'd not want to stream video (on a budget) on such networks.
    If these clients are going to be located are fixed sites or specific geographic areas, you can potentially set up backhaul wireless networks. If local network coverage is bad (and the local terrain allows it), you can potentially set up your own WISP, and provide coverage for yourself and potentially others.
    If this is the United States, you're going to encounter some rather severe limitations and network fragmentation outside the metropolitan areas. Inside the metropolitan areas, there are almost always options. Outside those areas, you'll find that some countries will tend to have more pervasive network services, and better wireless coverage. (DSL and cellular data coverage is very far from pervasive locally, and this is located in one of the most populous counties in a small US state. And the local geography is not particularly amenable to a WISP operating on a budget.)

  • Best option for protecting the palm wrest area from staining?

    My new white MacBook is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I currently use a blackbook. Anyway, I have kind of oily skin, and I'm worried about staining on the white plastic on the new computer where my palms rest during use.
    What's the best option for protecting this area? I've seen the Marware protection pack, but I've read quite a few bad reviews on it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    I use Mareware's product on my WhiteBook and it is sold at the Apple Store and Apple online. It also comes with a keyboard cover cloth to put on when the Book is closed to protect the screen. The cloth doubles as a soft wipe for the screen. The palm rest is custom fitted for the palm area and is removable. I have removed it twice and stuck it back on.

  • Best option for a 'sim free' phone in the UK

    Thanks for the comments above.
    Why would a warranty not apply just because the phone ends up in a different country? If an Apple product is defective, then surely they have a legal responsibility to put the product right. It would be interesting to see how it stood up in a court of law. As consumers we all have rights regardless of what any manufacturer puts in their warranty information. In the UK the Sale of Goods Act means you are covered for up to six years if a product is defective because of an 'inherent fault' no matter what the manufacturer says.
    Not true. I used to work for a company down in Berkshire. One of their products bought through official channels over here was covered.
    Try buying one in the states because it was cheaper tho, and you'd suddenly find you had no warranty.
    The Sale of goods Act is UK law not international law. It might apply to products bought somewhere in the EU but it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on in the US.

    Hi,
    With Azure web sites, you don't have to manage Virtual Machines, network load balancers, or deployment infrastructure yourself. All of these capabilities are built in and provided by the Azure Websites service.
    It depends on you. Personally, the easiest way would be creating an Azure Web site and using a SQL Azure database associated with the site.
    If you want to use a SQL VM as a database server, I recommend you to create it in a virtual network as it is supported for integration between your Azure virtual network and the Azure Websites:

  • 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.

  • Best setup for iMac with SSD & HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders

    Best setup for iMac with SSD and HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders?
    Computer:
    iMac 2.93 GHz Quad core i7, 8GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD
    There is not much info from Apple about the best way to set up an iMac with a Hard Drive and Solid state drive. I’ve looked at a few of the forum posts across the web and came up with a plan and lots of questions. (I do use photoshop frequently, but not on a professional level):
    1. I will keep OS and Applications on SSD
    2. About moving the home folder: I saw some posts about moving the whole home folder, but it makes more sense to me to only move selected fodlers withing the home folder tomake the best use of the SSD. So will keep the home folder on SSD, but move certain folders (document /music/iphoto/download) to 1 TB HDD via instructions I found on the macintoshperformanceguide website:
    cd
    sudo cp -r Documents /Volumes/Master
    sudo rm -rf Documents
    sudo ln -s /Volumes/Master/Documents Documents
    3. I would like to get 8 more RAM when I can afford it
    4. I will attach an external hard drive for most of my documents and backup storage
    5. Now here is where I’m not sure what’s best:
    a. Should I partition my internal 1 TB hard drive and use the first partition as a scratch disc for photoshop and other applications? How much should I partition? Is there any benefit to this if the rive is partitioned?
    b. Should I use an external drive as a scratch disc?
    c. Any advice on a good 1-2 TB external drive?
    d. Should I just leave things in factory settings?
    Don't assume I know the basics - I got all the above just by searching around. Any advice and commentary is appreciatedThanks.
    Message was edited by: sfandtheworld

    Thanks for the advice and the links. yes, I would like to speed up ps as much as possible.
    I wonder if putting the scratch disc on the same drive as the OS would cause them to interfere with each other? Even if they are on different partitions, they would not be able to be accessed at the same time, or could they? That's why I was wondering if I should place scratch disc on the internal HDD -- but then I don't know how much to partition for it (or to partition at all?)
    ALso, I read on a few places that too much read/write on the SSD wears it down over time? Is this more of a theoretical concerns - it does not make sense to me since it has no moving parts!
    thanks again for the advice ... I'm gonna go digest those links

  • 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.
