Create desktop link for epub o pdf files?

Hello,
I would like to create a direct link into the desktop of my iPad to a local file. It could be either PDF or EPUB file (I'd prefer PDF). I didn't manage how to do that? I've just succeed on creating link to webpage.
Bye
Giacomo

From what I know you have 3 choices:
1) Use an app like Goodreader to manage the PDF files, in folders, etc, but not on the desktop.
2) Use web page(s) to load and read the pdf's with a shortcut on the dessktop.
3) Use "Fast PDF" app that gives you an iBook-type interface bookshelf for pdf libraries. I think you'll like Fast PDF. I really like it. It's 99 cents.

How do you create a link to download a PDF file?

I'd like to create links so that when clicked, a PDF file associated with the link will automatically be downloaded. I've created a folder where I've stored all of the PDF files, but where on my web host do I put the folder--is it part of the published iWeb folder or should it be kept separate? (I'm using a 3rd party web host, Lunarpages.com)
Second, to create the links, I've written "Download Page" on for each link, highlighted the words, then enabled it as a hyperlink with the inspector. However, this changes "Download Page" to the name of the PDF file. How can I keep the words "Download Page" without changing it to the name of the file? Also, is this the correct way to have a PDF file automatically downloaded when "Download Page" is clicked?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there,
While I do not use iWeb, I do use PDF files on my website.
I first create a new folder to hold my PDF files and upload this to my website. When I create and upload PDF files I will upload to this folder. When someone wants to view this files, all they need to do is click on the link I created. After clicking on link, if the user is on a PC, Acrobat Reader is automatically used to view the file or if they are on a Mac, Preview is usually the default viewer (if the they are using Safari, it will simply open in Safari). Just having the extension on yourfile.pdf will cause this and you will not need to do anything else on your end.
FOR EXAMPLE: Download Sample PDF - try it on different browsers and PC's
As far as 'download page', it automatically starts as soon as you click on link. If you are talking about 'saving' the user will always have that option on their end...

How do I create a downloadable link from an Interactive PDF file created out of InDesign CS6?

Hello,
I created an Interactive PDF file out of InDesign and would like to make the large file a downloadable link and share it with the user in an email. I do not want to use DropBox or GoogleDrive.
The company I contract for has their own site - do I insert the file into the site or can I create a separate link for it?
I will be recreating these presentation PDF's constantly, so I would like to know if there is a simple way to create this link for files in the size of 7-12MB.
Any ideas on downloadable links? I do have flash - but rarely use, perhaps load the file out of flash?
Thank you so much for your help,
Megan

Hi Willie,
Thanks for your help. Most likely contact the company who maintains the
site then to share the file with them I'm assuming?

Creating a link to make a pdf download

Can anyone tell me how to make a link so that a pdf file will download? I currently have a button with a link to a pdf. I can get the pdf to open in a new window, but I really just want it to download automatically to the viewers' desktop, or at least to give them that option.

you cannot control what happens with a pdf file - this is determined by the viewers browser preferences.
The only way to guarantee the file is downloaded is to .zip it
As it happens, in my experience, most peoples browser preferences are set to download pdf files anyway

Linking dynamically to a pdf file from Crystal

I have a Crystal report in which I need to embed a link to a .PDF file I pass the year and zone into the report which I then need to use to dynamically link to the proper .pdf file within Crystal. I tried adding an OLE object and selecting .PDF but I need this link to be dynamic to attach the correct .pdf, not static. Is that possible?If yes then could you please let me know how to do it.
Thanks

Acrobat 8 Professional can't find the scanning device when creating the second page of the PDF file

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so please excuse me if there is anything I need to know.
I am a Mac User and I have the whole CS3 suit installed.
Everything works just great except there is this little thing bugs me around.
When I try to use Acrobat Professional 8.0 to create a PDF file through my scanner, (samsung SCX-4725FN, it's scan/print/fax combined) I wouldn't be able to continue to scan to the second page. To be more specific, I have no problem to scan and create the first page of the PDF file, when it asks me if I want to scan and create another page, when I confirmed it, I wouldn't be able to see the scanner in the "Acrobat Scan" window. The "scan" botton stay faded, therefore I can't continue. If I click "cancel" and try to create another PDF file from the scanner, the smae problem will show up again. The only way that I can continue to scan is to quit the program from the menu bar and restart it, then I can start to create the next '1st page only' PDF file from the scanner. I had to do this rapidly to get all the pages scanned first, and then combine them to get my work done. This is a pain in the butt. I have downloaded the most updated scanner driver, and patched Acrobat to version 8.1.2 , but the problem still exist. I have tested the scanner with PS CS3, the scanner works just fine. So I assume there is a glitch here with the software. Can anyone help me please?

I am not very clear at which step you are facing issue. Below is the sequence in order to scan more pages from Acrobat:
1. Launch Acrobat. Click menu File->Create PDF->From Scanner....
2. "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear. Select your scanner installed in Scanner dropdown. Check 'Prompt for scanning more pages' checkbox as you want to scan more than one page. Click Scan button in "Acrobat Scan" dialog.
3. Now scanner UI will appear. Make setting like color mode/resolution and click Scan button(or may be Accept button) in this dialog. (This is scanner specific ui)
4. After this scanning will happen and "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear with "Scan is Complete" and "Scan more pages" option.
5. Select "Scan more pages" option and click OK in this dialog to scan more pages.
6. Now again scanner UI will appear as in step 3 above. Make your settings and proceed.
Do you see scanner UI or "Acrobat Scan" dialog in step6? Are you not able to click Scan(or Accept) button in scanner UI?

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

Paste the link function in a pdf file in the preview is missing?

Paste the link function in a pdf file in the preview is missing? Please insert again, in Lion he was still there, please help me

Don't think so. If it is it would be in the metadata for the PDF -- ctrl D and select the left most tab. There should be a button for additional data if you want to explore.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
     We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
     xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
     OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
     docProc.process();
     PrintInvoiceThread :
          out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
               out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
               out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
               out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
               out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
               out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
               out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
               out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
          public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

Firefox 4.0 support for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and can no longer print embedded PDF documents contained in an iFrame.
My company's web application has several pages which load PDF files from a Servlet into an iFrame. The pages in question all have "Print" buttons which when clicked executes a JavaScript function to obtain reference to the iframe containing the PDF, place it into focus() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].focus();), and invoke print() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].print();). There are no errors, or exceptions caught when the JavaScript function is invoked, but the "Print" button is no longer operational.
Does Firefox 4.0 no longer support iFrames? The issue goes away if I revert back to ver 3.6.16

I have same issue for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript in Firefox 5.0.
In previous versions it was working fine. But not in Firefox 4.0/5.0.
Is there any solution for this problem?

How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

Can I create a link for captions in Adobe Captivae

can I create a link for captions in Adobe
Captivae

Hi HAMADART and welcome to our community
I'm a bit fuzzy on what you are looking for.
If you are asking if you can create a hyperlink from a text
caption that will open a URL or something, the answer is that you
can, but not like you think. You would insert a caption and place
it, then insert a click box object and program it to point to the
URL. Then place the click box object over where you want your user
to click.
If you are asking if you can create a link that forces the
Closed Captioning to display, first off I'd wonder why a link when
clicking the CC button is so easy. But if you are asking if there
is a way to cause Closed Captioning to display without user
intervention, you need to take a look at fellow Adobe Community
Expert Paul Dewhurst's site and use one of his widgets.
