How to load and show PDF on stage in Flash using AlivePDF or PurePDF external libraries?

Hello,
I searched a lot on internet but didn't find a proper way to load and open/show PDF on stage in Flash. Following are my understandings about this topic.
I know Flash does not have the built-in functionality to load and show pdf document on stage.
I know you can do this in AIR application using HTMLLoader class but it required adove reader to be installed on your machine.
I have used AlivePDF/PurePDF and I know how to export/generate a PDF File using these libraries but I don't know how to use them to load and show PDF document on stage in Flash. According to my research, I think these libraries can accomplish my task but how, I don't know. That's because I am here for your help.
People suggest to first convert pdf into an image or swf file and then import it into Flash but I don't want this solution because my clients will be importing/uplading PDF file into my software.
Some people suggest to "Convert PDF renderer code written in C/C++ using Alchemy to flash library" and then use that library to my project. I don't have any idea how to do this. If anyone can help me to achieve required functionality this way, please guide me.
Now you know about my understandings, so you can guide me in better way. Let me give you an example what kind of functionality I want. Please visit: https://www.pdffiller.com. Upload a pdf file there and you will see that it shows that pdf to user (At the moment, I want this functionality) and pdf annotation i.e. write text on pdf and other functionalities.
NOTE: I am not a Flex and AIR developer. I am a Flash (Actionscript 3.0) Developer. So please first help according to flash. If you want to offer the solution according to Flex and AIR, you are most welcome.
I specially want "ADOBE EXPERTS - Adobe Flash developer from Adobe" to comment on this and help me out. It's about 4th day I am without a solution. I am afraid, I'll loose my client if I'll not have a solution in next couple of days.
Thanks,

Just to throw in a $0.02, I looked at those libraries myself quite a while ago and all they had the ability to do was give you information and assets from the PDF. At that point you literally had to read each page in the PDF (whatever the library could extract), use the information it extracted (position, type size, images, etc) and create a layout engine that could "reconstruct" the page piece by piece.
I hope it's better these days but that's what I took from those libraries quite a while ago and it may still be true. That would explain "Convert PDF renderer code written in c/c++ using Alchemy to flash library". Someone may already have written a quality layout engine. Otherwise there was no "load pdf, run this ShowPDF() function to add to display list" functionality at all.

How to programmatically load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it?

Is there a way to load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it? I am starting with the AsynchronousCallAndForget.vi from the example finder and inserted an invoke node with the FP Open method call prior to the Start Asynchronous Call node. The vi I am loading has the "Run when opened" unchecked and the menu bar IS visible so I can manually click the run arrow. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why are you using the Async call? If you simply open the VI reference, then call the FP.Open method this works fine. You can then call the VI run method with Wait Until Done set to false if you wish to run it Asynchronously, this is how we did it in ye olde days before we had this new fangled "Start Asynchronous Call" stuff.

How to load and unload Multiple External SWF

hello there,
i need help to figuring out how to load and also unload(removing) multiple external SWF.
so here is what i;m trying to do,
i want to load multiple external SWF and play it on my main SWF now i hove no problem with just loading multiple SWF and placing it in the display list .The problem came up when i tried removing those loaded SWF from the display list ,The problem exist because i have no way to refer to what i have loaded and placed on the display list,
i used a single loader instance to load all that external swf,
i do know that we have to remove all the event listener related to the external SWF that we want to remove and for this purpose i have crated a function called destroy which the main objective for this function is to remove all event listener inside the swf and also isolating all variable so it would be eligible for garbage collecting, here is what the code look like:
// Create this in every object you use
public function destroy():void
     // Remove event listeners
     // Remove anything in the display list
     // Clear the references to other objects, so it gets totally isolated
sorry it just a kind of pseudocode cause this function will customize with it's own property i did this just for the purpose of simplicity and easy understanding..,
so now back to main problem how should i solve this problem??
i tried used an arraf to save all the loaded swf
     the array is just used to save the what the loader is loading but the adding to display method is using
movieClipActAsContainer.addChild(e.target.content); //the event is from the Event.COMPLETE
but i have a hard time using that arrya back and matching it to the one i got from the display list.
please do help me,
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated,
and if can pleas show me a source code or pseudocode of what you're suggesting to me cause my english is not so fluent yet,
thanks before.

Hey EI,
I had done this kind of project recently and for loading and unloading different swfs. I had used loaders specific to that filename and for removing I had used a single movieclip instance name and on clicking that specific loader request name that needs to be removed will be requested from the specific function. As mentioned below
Loading SWF:
===============================
swfLoaderIndia.load(swfRequestIndia);//This will load the request
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).addChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will load swf on stage
or else
Stage.addChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Unloading SWF
=====================================
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will unload swf on stage
or else
Stage.removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Above code will be in specific function which will be requested when the loading and unloading is required.
I hope this helps you in your project.
With Regards,
Sagar S. Ranpise

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
I went to this page:
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

How to Handle and show multiple pushpin imgaes on the map based on the requirement at different coordintes?

How to Handle and show multiple pushpin imgaes on the map based on the requirement at different coordintes?
I have multiple images in my App folder. I want to use and show those images dynamically in windows phone 8 map application

There are a lot of different ways to do this. One simple method is to use a switch statement when creating your pushpins and based on some property in your data, select the icon you want to use and create your pushpin accordingly.

How to load and instantiate FXG at runtime?

Hi
Let's say I have a Flex 4 app whose SWF size in KB/MB should be small. While the app runs, the user might want to make the app load 10 of 1000 FXG components that are available. How to load and instantiate these 10 FXG components?
(I want to avoid compiling an SWF that would contain 1000 FXG components and thus would be large in file size.)
Here are snippets from an example which can instantiate FXG components, but would probably be too large in SWF size if would contain all the FXG components.
fxgstuff/rect.fxg and fxgstuff/circle.fxg contain this:
<fxg:Graphic xmlns:fxg="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008" version="1">
   <fxg:Group>
Snippets from the main MXML file:
import fxgstuff.*;
import spark.core.SpriteVisualElement;
public function addRect():void {
    var _rect:SpriteVisualElement = new rect;
    _rect.x = _x_rect;
    _rect.y = _y_rect;
    container.addElement(_rect);
public function addCircle():void {
<s:Button label="Add rectangle" click="addRect()"/>
<s:Button label="Add circle" click="addCircle()"/>
<s:Group id="container"/>
Tobi

You put each graphic into a MXML Module (not MXML Component) which stays on the server and is loaded at runtime when you request it, as in:
// >>>>> Imports <<<<<
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import mx.events.ModuleEvent;
import mx.modules.IModuleInfo;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
// >>>>> Variable Declarations <<<<<
private var urlLdl:URLLoader;
private var modInfo:IModuleInfo;
private var oneGraphicsModule:Object;
// >>>>> Methods <<<<<
private function moduleLoader( pathToModule:String ):void
// Loading one Module
modInfo = ModuleManager.getModule( pathToModule );
urlLdl = new URLLoader( );
urlLdl.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLdl.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, bytesLoadedHandler );
urlLdl.load( new URLRequest( pathToModule ) );
private function bytesLoadedHandler( event:Event ):void
modInfo.addEventListener( ModuleEvent.READY, moduleLoadedHandler );
modInfo.load( null, null, event.target.data );
private function moduleLoadedHandler( event:ModuleEvent ):void
oneGraphicsModule = modInfo.factory.create();
// Do with the module what you need to . . .
So all of your graphics stay on the server, you "just" need to put each graphic or group of graphics into a MXML Module.

How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using ODI

Hi,
How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using oracle Data Integrator ?
Requirement Description:
Following is the matrix report data:
JOB                       DEPT10                DEPT20
ANALYST                                           6000
CLERK                   1300                     1900 Need to convert it into below format:
JOB                             Dept                        Salary
ANALYST                  DEPT10
ANALYST                  DEPT20                     6000
CLERK                       DEPT10                    1300
CLERK                       DEPT20                    1900
    Thanks for your help in advance. Let me know if any further explanation is required.

Your list seems to be a little restrictive, you can do a lot more with ODI procedures.
If you create new procedure, and add a step. In the 'command on source' tab set you technology and schema as per your source database. Use the unpivot functionality as described in the link, please, rather than using 'SELECT *' use the appropriate column names and alias them for eg:
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
Then in your 'command on target' tab set the technology and schema to your target db, then put your INSERT statement for eg:
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
VALUES
:job,
:deptsal,
:saledesc
Therefore you are using bind variables from source to load data into target.
Obviously if the source and target table are in the same database, then you can have it all in one statement in the 'command on target' as
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
also set the log counter as 'Insert' on the tab where your INSERT statement is, so you know how many rows you insert into the table.
Hope this helps.
BUT remember that this feature only came out in Oracle 11g.

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

What do you want to achieve? Do you really want to create a copy of an image, and thus create a second copy of the master image file? You will waste disk space this way.
Usually you would create new versions of an image, if you want versions with different adjustments. Versions do not require much additional disk space. But all versions of an image have to be in the same project. To create a new version: Main menu bar -> Photos -> Duplicate Version
To create a copy of an image in another project (and to waste the space ) drag the image to another project while holding down the option key. This will create a copy in the other project.
Sofar nobody here could come up with a good reason why one would want to create a copy. I am curious what in your workflow requires you to do that. Would you mind to tell us?

How to open and show dialog "Save" in jsp

Hi all,
I write a program which open and show all file type. If browser can open -> open and show this file, if can not open, the program must show dialog "Save". How I can check browser can open a file ?
Thanks

How I can check browser can open a file ?You cannot.
You can decide to let the client choose the option to save or open the file itself. Change the "content-disposition" in the header to "attachment". Then the client will always get a "Save as" dialogue.
