How to retrieve image from a document

Hi
I am a beginner to Adobe InDesign SDK (CS4) and was needing some help. Here is the sceneario
I have a simple InDesign document with an image in it. I am trying to retrieve the image and do some proprietory actions on it.
I am wondering if there is an InDesign API which can retrieve image on a document. What is the return value from such an API. (e.g does the API return a pointer to the image object or maybe location of the image on the filesystem ? ). What I am trying to do is once I can get a "handle" to the returned image, I would like to manipulate it and save it in a proprietory format.
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated
thanks!
Sam

Hi,
You can get the path of the linked image file and then you can manipulate this image.
I think ILinkUtils and ILink will certainly help.
You can also check (for better understanding) CHM->PortingGuide->Links Archtecture.
Thanks.

How to retrieve images from the file system in Portal Forms?

Portal 3.0.9.8.0
In a Portal form , there is a field named ID wherein a value is entered. Say the value entered is 5 , how can we get the image named 5.jpg
from C:/images/ folder and get it displayed in the form ? The images are not stored in the database . Depending on the ID field value , we
have to retrieve the image.
Thanks .
Neeti.

Hi Neeti,
This is what I did :-
Steps:-
1> I created a procedure named get_image in the application schema as :-
create or replace procedure get_image
p_id in integer default 1
is
begin
htp.p('Image Id='||nvl(to_char(p_id),'No Image Id'));
htp.br;
if p_id is not null then
htp.p('<img src="C:\images\'||p_id||'.jpg">');
end if;
end get_image;
2> Created a form on the procedure get_image.
3> Run the form and for p_id field, enter the image id, and click on Submit - the image will be displayed.
Hope this helps.

How to retrieve image from XML file

Hi All,
I am new to XML. So any best guidance is appreciated.
The application requirement is to display image retrived from uploaded xml file in file upload section of our application. And store that image in database.
In my XML file , images & strings & numbers & booleans are there . I am able to save everything in database except images .
I am using JSF, Seam & Hibernate combination. In my Hibernate entity class i took BLOB datatype for image.
I am using following tags in my Xhtml file to display image
<s:graphicImage value="#{hibernateentitybean.picBlobtype}" height="200" width="200">
<s:transformImageSize width="200" height="200" />
<s:transformImageType contentType="image/jpeg"/>
But image is not displayed in Xhtml file
I am using org.w3c.dom.Document for retrieving node name & corresponding value in that node in XML file.
I am getting code like below for Image when i am logging all values from XML files in my bean class .
x0lGQRQAAAABAAAAAAAAAFJHAQARAAAAVwBhAHQAZQByACAAbABpAGwAaQBlAHMALgBqAHAAZwAAAP/Y/+AAEEpGSUYAAQIBAGAAYAAA/+0YLl
I want to convert this value to image. So i can convert image to bytes and store in BLOB.
Can anyone guide me ? or any other approach .
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Regards,
Naresh

How to retrieve image from MS sqlserver2K

hi there!
Using jdbc-odbc bridge to connect MS SQL2K,
I can write a big file into database by prepareStatement() & setBinaryStream().
But I can't get it back to the client by using ResultSet.getBinaryStream() due to an "Invalid cursor state".
I even choose the SQLSERVER2000 JDBC (downloaded from mircrosoft website)and it also fails!
And then I checked all the posted topics in this community about this problem,but no one had ever come up with an approach to solve the problem.
Does if mean this question will never be solve?
Why? Why?
Anyone helps!!!
Please email me :[email protected] if you have solutions.
thanks in advance.

thanks thor_jd.
I have visited that link and find the JDBCBlob.exe.I think that may be what I want,but somehow I cannot download it for the "destination not found or invalid!", though I've tried many times.
Do you have that sample file?
Please email that file to [email protected]
Great thanks!

How to retrieve data from inside the folders in SharePoint SSRS

Hi ,
How to get the data from inside the folders and subfolders.
How can I do that.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/15451351-4ee2-428c-a0b7-135810e4cbfa/action?threadDisplayName=ssrs-reports-sharepoint-list-datasource-how-to-retrieve-items-from-subfolders

Vinod

Hi Vinodaggarwal87,
According to your description, you want to retrieve data from sharepoint list in a sub folder. Right?
In this scenario, we should select the XML data source type and in the connection string provide the
List.asmx service URL when creating data source. Then we need to use the List web Service and specify "recursive" for ViewAttribute in Lists.asmx. For detail steps, please refer to the links below:
Generate SSRS report on SharePoint List with folders using List Service.
SSRS: how to specify ViewAttributes when creating a report against a SharePoint's list
If you want to set the ViewAttribute on CAML query level. You need add the view tag outside of query tag:
<View Scope="RecursiveAll">
    <Query>
        <Where>...</Where>
    </Query>
</View>
Reference:

Question on retrieve image from mysql

i want to retrieve image from mysql database and display on GUI
can anyone tell me how to do
Thank you

You can use the JDBC API for Java Database Connectivity. With this you can obtain data from the database using Java. There is an excellent tutorial here at Sun.com: http://www.google.com/search?q=jdbc+tutorial+site:sun.com You can get the MySQL JDBC driver at their own site: http://www.google.com/search?q=download+jdbc+driver+site:mysql.com Get the most recent version which suits your environment. There is also good documentation available over there.
For displaying in the UI, the approach differs per UI. As you didn't mention which UI you are using, I can't help you further in detail.

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

Copy an Image from one document to another

Is there an easy way to copy a rectangle containing an image (not a link to an image) from one document to another?
Thanks.
Chris.

I can now copy-paste text frames and linked graphics from one document to another using snippets, but embedded images still don't work.
If I embed an image from a pdf file it works but not for jpeg images. When I open the new document (for which I placed the snippet) in InDesign, there is a frame (with a dark grey background and a diagonal cross) shown, but no contents. The place() method did not throw an exception. What am I doing wrong?
Chris.

How to retrieve info from a MacOs Standard floppy?

How can I retrieve information from a MacOs Standard formatted floppy disk on Snow Lion?
I have this collection of old floppy disks that were formatted as MacOs Standard format back in the days. They do hold some files which I'd like to backup on a backup drive.
But, Snow Lion does not read MacOs Standard formatted disks apparently.
So, does anyone know how to retrieve information from MacOs Standard formatted floppy disks?
Thank you!

This what I see in ML with my old SmartDisk VST (model# FDUSB-M) floppy drive:
Interesting observations:
1. I was able to add and remove files to the disk.
2. I was not able to erase the disk with Disk Utility. It returned an error.
3. Disk Utility did not offer the HFS+ format option, only FAT32 and ExFAT.
4. I could only find 1 floppy in my house so it could be partially defective.

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream). If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore. But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_UShttp://www.ipadconverter-mac.com/restore-iphone-from-icloud/
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
Ref
How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.
