Creating Missing Appearance Stream

I'm using the PDF Library to convert LiveCycle-generated PDFs to rasterized images (GIF, TIF, JPG, whatever). What I'm finding is that some data values for text boxes are missing their AP reference (BTW, I'm completely new to this PDF world so some of my terminology may be wrong - sorry). What I'm trying to do is use the PDF Library to go ahead and add the necessary appearance stream to the PDF so that the form data is not lost when I rasterize the image. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the XFA specification here:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_2_4.pdf
And as I'm really only trying to produce images I'm thinking I can easily read the data from the XFA strings and match them to fields in the AcroForm. Then all I have left to do is what I wanted to do originally- that is, create the AP entry.
Any ideas how I can go about doing that?

  • Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?

    Hello,
    I want to create a document with cascading 'popups'.  Not the built-in text-only popup, but an annotation containing an appearance stream that defines text and images.  I'm currently using widget annotations based on a pushbutton field.
    Each page in my document has many citations that refer to other pages in the document.  When a user hovers over the citation, I want a 'popup' to appear containing a depiction of the destination.  However, as the destination will itself have citations, I also want the 'popup' to contain citations that the user can hover over, triggering another popup, etc.  In this way, a user could navigate throughout the document without leaving the page or even clicking the mouse.
    Obviously, with even a modest number of citations per page, pre-calculating and statically defining all of these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making the document sluggish and very large.
    Instead, I'd like to statically define appearance streams once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and assign the appropriate appearance stream using JS as the user navigates.
    So far I've created a named AP in the names dictionary, but I haven't been able to use it to dynamically set an appearance stream of a dynamically created widget annotation.
    Also, I've called Doc.getIcon(), passing in the named AP, which returns an Icon object.  However, after field.buttonSetIcon() and passing in the named AP, the button does not display the icon.
    Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?
    Thank you,
    Dave

    Hi George, I've gotten named APs to work, and I expect hidden buttons will follow.  Thank you very much!
    Quick follow-up - I will have many documents embedded within the same pdf file, and some of these documents will contain identical popups.  However, I don't want to store identical icons in each document on account of file size.
    Instead, I'd like to store one instance of each icon for all documents in the file.
    Can I store all of the icons in a single document, and then access them by calling <DocName>.getField().getIcon() from any document in the file?
    Thank you again,
    Dave

  • How do I create a JMF streaming server with QuickTime Web Client?

    Can anyone give me some pointers on how to create a JMF streaming server and user can type in a rtsp URL on the web browser and be able to view the streaming video in QuickTime player?
    thanks

    JMF does not have RTSP server capabilities built-in. You would have to program the RTSP request-response protocol yourself.

  • How to extract data from Buffer and create a RTP stream

    Hi
    I'm working on a project where I need to interrupt a media stream (video and audio) and extract the data. Send the data with a custom protocol. On the recieveing side I would like to reconstruct the stream using only the data chunks.
    I'm currently looking at [DataSourceReader.java|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/DataSourceReader.java] and more specifically at a method like printDataInfo(Buffer buffer) to extract the data.
    Is it possible to create a RTP stream, only having access to the byte array "data" in Buffer ?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of different ways to get the data. Reading it from inside a DataSink is perfectly fine...

    You need to know the format of the media in addition to the actual media data...

  • When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work

    When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work? Is so it means my whole family can see any photo stream I set up. Hence no security? Can't share the pics with the wife then :(

    The whole idea to an icloud account is that one user uses it and has all their devices synced together.  Different users need different Apple IDs to create their own icloud accounts.  Note that everyone can still use the same ID for an iTunes account (to share purchases).
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • Digital Signature and Annotation Appearance Stream

    Hello,
    I've noticed that adding an annotation on a pdf without specifying an appearance stream ( AP dictionary ) for that annotation, and then signing the document,
    will cause Acrobat to report that the document is Signed and all signatures are valid, but with Annotations Modified message under the signed revision in the signature panel.
    So is that behavior by acrobat, while appearance stream entry is optional in annotations ?

    Hello lrosenth,
    I was eble to add an ink annotation with an appearance stream, and then signing the document with digital signature goes fine with no problems
    ( No "Annotations Modified" ) message appearing in the signature panel, but adding a freetext annotation with an appearance stream and then signing, is causing acrobat to show "At least one signature requires validating" message in the signature bar, and by validating the signature manually by pressing "Validate All" in the signature panel, the original problem appears again stating "Annotations Modified". So is freetext annotations should be considered in a different way than other annotation types ?
    Thank you.

  • Can't create new photo streams in Aperture

    When I select new photos to add to a photo stream, I am not prompted to create a new photo stream, they are simply sent to the stock photo stream that is already shared between my iPhone and Aperture. How can I create new photo streams in Aperture if the standard method doesn't work for me? What is wrong with my setup that I can't follow the videos of instructions because I don't get a dialog box when I try to share?
    Thanks,

    Is your Profile signature correct  Mac OS X (10.7.5) ? Then you cannot create Shared Photo Streams. They require OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4, see:
    Using and troubleshooting shared photo streams.
    You can create Shared Photo Streams with:
    an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 6
    a Mac using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 with Photo 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later
    a PC using Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista with the iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed. (iCloud Control Panel 2.1 required with Windows 8.)
    If your system is compatible with shared streams, check, if you have enabled shared streams in both the System Preferences and Aperture's Preferences.

  • In Vacany requisition-error "Recruiter is missing" appear after all are set

    Hi,
    When a the Line Manager or Supervisor is trying to complete a VR form in portal it is saying " Recruiter is missing " in. I have checked the Account assignment feature (which is defined correctly) and also the recruiter maintianed for that PSA ( it is also maintianed correclty),even the employee who is occupying the position ( for which the position is going to get vacant) and his IT0001 and his Sueprvisor's everything is correct. But still this error "Recruiter is missing" appears in the form.
    Any settings have been missed. Please provide your inputs.
    Thanks,
    Selva

    Hello Selva,
    The Recruiter dropdown values are determined as follows:              
    - In the customizing table EREC_GENERAL, the 'Recruiter Logic Type'  must be set to "Manual entry by the Manager".                                                                               
    - The Administrators table (T526) must be configured. The Recruiter  User IDs (USRID) are taken from the Administrators
    table (T526) where  the 'Group' (WERKS) value corresponds to either:                      
    (a) the Administrator Group (TCLAS) value determined by Feature PINCH (default value 'APPL'), or                                      
    (b) the Administrator Group (SBMOD) value assigned to the  Hiring Manager's Infotype 0001.                                       
    - In the E-Recruiting system, the Recruiter User ID must fulfill the prerequisites for a Recruiter user, such as:                                
    (a) It must be assigned to the same pernr as in the HR/MSS system, in the case of a standalone E-Recruiting system.                               
    (b) It must have the correct user profile for a Recruiter.                  
    e.g. SAP_RCF_RECRUITER                                                      
    (c) It must  have a Candidate Object assigned to it.                        
    (d) It must have a valid email address defined.

  • Creating Alternate Audio Streams

    Hi guys,
    I've worked with DVD Studio Pro before and I'm currently working on this project where I'm supposed to make a DVD that will play the film in either standard or dolby 5.1 audio. I've been trying to figure out how to make it use alternate video streams without just making two sets of the film in its entirety and I just can't understand the manual at all with all the talk about stories and whatnot. Can anybody tell me in simpler terms how I can create a dvd menu that will allow the viewer to choose to play the film in either normal stereo audio or dolby 5.1 audio?

    Create both audio streams. Drop them into tracks 1 and 2. Now you have 1 video track with 2 audio tracks the user will be able to choose from while the video is playing. When you create a menu button, the button Inspector allows you to not only set a buttons target but will also allow you to set which stream to play.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • How to create missing indexes

    Dear sir
    I have find some missing indexes is there in T code  db02
    can anyone tell me how to create missing indexes and how to manage that thing frequentely
    regards
    krishna

    Hi,
    in SE12 you can activate the index. (display the index and activate it)
    Alternatively in SE14 the index can be created with the database utilty.
    (display the table, click indexes, choose your index, then create it).
    In case you have a big database table you should prefer SE14 and use
    the background option in order to avoid timeouts.
    I'm not aware of an automatism for manage this frequently. This is a
    task carried out by SAP system or database administrators.
    Kind regards,
