Capturing Lookout Print Panel Output to File

I have tried setting my default printer to the FILE: port but do not get a dialog asking for the file to save to. All other programs printing to this printer ask for a filename but Lookout does not. How can I capture the panel printout to an EPS file?

I've installed a while ago HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS driver and now I've tried to set up this driver to create an .eps file from Lookout panels. And, this worked pretty well with Lookout 5.0.
1. Set the PS (postscript) printer driver to be default
2. Configure the driver to point to a FILE: port (see image 1)
3. Configure the driver to generate an .eps (General>Printing Preferences>Advanced>PostScript Options>PostScript Output Option set it to EPS (see image 2)
4. Print Panel you will be prompt for file name and you could type e.g. c:\temp\testpanel.eps)
Other PostScript printer should work defenitly too. You might consult your postscript printer manual on how to set it up to print a .eps
Hope this helps.
Roland
PS: It might be the printer dri
ver that does not prompt you. Which driver are you using? Which version of Lookout are you using?

Lookout .WMF Graphics & Print Panel

Bug???
Lookout 6.1: In addition to graphic object layering display problems in panels, detailed WMF graphic objects to not print close to properly when "Print Panel" action is used. I have some maps, and no matter whether they are arranged in front or back of other display objects on the panel, only a few remnants of the maps actually print.

Actually, I was too quick to report this one.... I've been testing from home a lot lately and it was a cheesy, older laser home printer that does not do well with the detailed WMF files. Our better printers at work had no problems.
On screen issues persist on even the best/latest video cards, however.
See: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=190&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=5348#M5348
I'd really like to see that fixed! Related to this... even pop-up windows positioned over or dragged across over a panel with a WMF image, render the WMF image missing lots of information. It takes a manual refresh to get the underlying image back to normal.
Cheers...

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line

Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.
Regards
Sandy

What is the requirement that doesn't allow you using fnd_file.put_line?
Please see the following links.

RE: Print a front panel in a file

Use a pdf printer driver and use this along with the print on completion
setting for the VI that you want to print to file.
This is great for reports.

I'm not aware of a single vi that can do this. The way I've done this is to use combination of vi's described under Help in "report generation vis and function" located under "vi and function reference."

Print a front panel in a file

I would like to know if there is any function or other way to print a front panel in a file (a picture file or a print file) in execution mode.
thanks

You can use the Get Panel Image method. Place an Invoke node in your diagram, select VI as Vi Server Class and choose Get Panel Image as the method invoked.
You can also choose if you want to copy the visible area only or the entire panel.
Hope this helps.

Print a output file programatically

Hi All,
i work on 11.5.10 oracle applications. Issue is with printing the output file of a report.
We have a requirement to print the out put of a report automatically to a printer.
THe setup in the program definition for the report just prints for TEXT output and not for bitmap/pdf outputs. As i have barcode present in my report.
So my main question is if i ahve an output file present in the db. can i use some plsql code to print it to a specific printer.
The other option is to have a unix shell script. called by a concurretn pprog.
CAn any help me with if its possible using plsql.
Thanks

You're best doing the printing from the operating system level and then from within PL/SQL you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to schedule a job to run immediately to call the relevant operating system command/script.

Adobe PDF printer - saves output file as filetype+filename need it to save only as filename

I am using windows xp pro, when i create the pdf file with adobe PDF printer it creates the file name "Ami Pro - filename.pdf" I really need it to create the file name as "filename.pdf". Can you please help me - thank you

Thank you Bernd - Explorer will let us change the file name one at a time, however I am creating numerous pdfs at a time, and its a pain to correct them one at a time, or to create a bat file to do this. Does anyone know if the Adobe PDF printer has a feature that will eliminate the file type? thanks

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best Regards
Daté

Is there a way to print multiple Indesign CS6 files...

...via a script or plug-in?
I periodically have to print many separate indesign files, and I'd like to be able to drag them to a droplet, or script on my desktop instead of opening each one individually and printing that way.
Thanks,
Scott

Create a book file (File > New > Book). Add the files to the book. Deselect all the files in the book file (none highlighted), then choose Print Book from the book panel menu.
Of course, all the files will print with the same print settings.

Monitor CPU and send output to file

Hello
I want to monitor my CPU usage and my idea was this:
1. Use Top (/usr/bin/top –n 1|head –n 3| tail –n 1|awk ’{print $2}’)
2. Send output to file
3. crontab it
My problem is now that my top command (see above) works fine in terminal, it will give me a short and clean answer; 10.5%
But when sending this to a file the output looks more like: 10.5%^^8fewfwe[]€]]@£]@£[f9@£[]^^E^Efewfwef23 (Yes i just hit my keyboard but its alot of randoms characters)
How can i fix this?
Do you have any easier solution to monitor my CPU usage, i want it to be quite often, send cpu usage to file for at least every minute, then i can import this to excel and make nice diagram.
I dont want to install any extra program so ill have to work with whats there already. Im using RHEL 4.
Thanks in advance, Johan

A better way to do it is using "sar"
man sarIt's already builtin and there are plenty of docs on the net.

Output Mutiple Files Using htp.p

Hello,
I wish to output 3 CSV files from APEX I have the following code
Declare
S_FileName VarChar(20);
S_Counter Number;
begin
-- Set the File NAme
S_FileName :=To_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')||'Letters.CSV';
For S_Counter IN 1..4 LOOP
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||S_FILENAME||S_Counter|| '"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Loop through all rows in EMP
for x in (select MPAN_CORE,ACCOUNT_NO
from Categoriser.LTNA_LETTER_ONE_OUTPUT@link_to_dqmDevdb )
loop
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(x.MPAN_CORE ||','|| x.ACCOUNT_NO ||','||
x.MPAN_CORE || chr(13));
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
-- Send an error code so that the-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
At this stage i only want to output 3 files the content is not a issue
I it possible to do this with APEX?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
David

I take it from the lack of response that this is not somthing that APEX can do?No, it's something that HTTP cannot do. Think about it: if it was possible for a server to send multiple files in response to an HTTP request, then it would be possible to break your computer very easily indeed.
aww well looks like i will need to find another way..You'd need something in the browser client-side, Java applet, Flash control etc...

How to print an output stream on console.

Hi,
I am new to JAVA. I am trying to execute a command in runtime and I want to print the output on console and also redirect the output to a file.
Could anyone please help me?
This is what I wrote :
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec("cmd /c ipconfig");I am getting an output stream by : proc.getOutputStream(). I dont know how to print it on console and also how to redirect it to a file.
Could anyone please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Basav

You can do it this way :-
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("ipconfig", "/all");
          Process process = builder.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
          FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("C:/ipconfig.txt"));
          String str;
          while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(str);
               writer.write(str + System.getProperty("line.separator"));
          writer.close();
          reader.close();
     }Let me know if it works for you.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.
