How to use an own plugin to add 3d-content

Hi,
I have started to develop a plugin for Acrobat 8.0 that will add some kind of 3d-content to an existing model. I tried somewhat, but I face the problem that I can't find out how to use the plugin in Acrobat with Javascript. I added the .api file in the folder Acrobat/Plugins and the plugin is loaded.
But I can't find out how to use the methods of the plugin. I always get the error: 'can't found [methodname]'. Do you need to use some kind of prefix, or whatever. Perhaps this is a newbie question, but I can't find out it in the documentation.
Any help will be fine!
Regards,
Ewout

That's right. You can't.
>
>But I can't find out how to use the methods of the plugin.
You cannot use the methods of a plug-in. They are for its own internal
use.
A plug-in registers for call backs. Most obviously menu selections,
but also selecting a tool, clicking on a button, opening a document,
changing page etc. Also it can register an "idle" procedure to be run
when Acrobat is not busy, at intervals. Your plug-in code is run, by
Acrobat, at these moments.

  • How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

    How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
    First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal.  Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity.  The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short.  The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment.  From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location.  This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable.  It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups.  In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
    How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port.  Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router.  There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.   
    In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet.  Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge.  This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.   
    The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT.  I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs.  These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition.  At the very least they can point you to the right direction.  Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
    Log into the current Verizon Router.
    Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
    Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
    Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
    Example:
    IP-STB1
    Connection Type: Ethernet
    * IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    IP Address Allocation: DHCP
    *MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
    * Things you will need to write down
    Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection.  Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
    Remove the Verizon router
    Install your router
    Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
    Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s  (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
    Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.  
    Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
    Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
    Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
    Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality.  It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
    Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.  
    EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

     3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.

    For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
    Why do you clone the mac addr??

  • How to use third party plugin with FCP, I'm lost...

    Hello,
    I need informations about how to use plugins with FCP.
    I do edit mostly classical concerts. I'd like to do basic audio post prod, without swaping between Soundtrack and FCP.
    I need two simple things : add reverb (the built in reverb is really bad), and enhancer. So I looked for specialised third party audio plugins, but I couldn't manage to find something that work for me...
    - Do FCP support VST plugins ? How to install them ?
    - I tried a few audio units plugins. It works, but I couldn't get a friendly visual interface, like VST effects racks. Is it possible in FCP ?
    - does anybody know a good reverb plugin with a friendly interface compatible with FCP ?
    Please help, I'm lost !
    Emmanuel

    I need two simple things : add reverb (the built in reverb is really bad), and enhancer.< </div>
    What you NEED is a better recordist at the concert, someone who understands the peculiarities of your specific video deliver plans.
    Soundtrack Pro is right up there with Motion in its impossible-to-understand interface paradigm shift away from industry standard tools. However, if you are in the position of being a sound editor, you must find a tool that works for you. STP might not be the one, certainly isn't for me. You could always try Logic. Yeah, good luck with THAT.

    Hello Prasad,
    You are on the right avenue - launch an external application which can connect to running Outlook instance and then close it. After this you can launch Outlook anew. Here are the steps required to get the job done:
    1. Use the Marshal.GetActiveObject method which obtains
    a running instance of the specified object from the running object table (ROT) - Outlook in your case, for example:
    // Check whether there is an Outlook process running.
    if (Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK").Count() > 0)
    // If so, use the GetActiveObject method to obtain the process and cast it to an Application object.
    application = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application") as Outlook.Application;
    then use the
    Quit method to close the running instance. The
    associated Outlook session will be closed completely; the user will be logged out of the messaging system and any changes to items not already saved will be discarded.
    2.  Use the
    Start method of the System.Diagnostics.Process class to start Outlook anew.

  • How to use my own tag in XMP

    I have translated HTML to PDF. It is working properly if I use only DC Metadata.
    But if I write other tag in XMP and load this file in PDF, I cannot see right information.
    I want to use my own tag such as "co-author" and "related paper".
    I define this kinds of tags as namespace and XML Schema.
    Then I want to use this tag in PDF. But I don't know how to do after this.
    How can I do? How can I use my own tag(element or attribute) in XMP?
    Actually I don't have much experience to deal with XMP.
    please help.

    Will you clarify where you are looking for your custom information.
    It should display in Acrobat.

  • How to use Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)

    I have Apple mpeg2 plugin + Streamclip on my computer, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to use the two to open my DVD in imovie!
    Help~

    Ooops! I had a copy of QTKirk's explanation positioned under the Apple link (didn't notice the source!), and thought that both were connected. Here's his explanation:
    "Read the FAQ page so you understand completely before you buy.
    Install this new software [Apple MPEG2 Playback] and quit and relaunch QT Player (if running).
    Open QT Player and then insert your DVD. Quit DVD Player if it starts.
    From the "File" menu of the QuickTime Player choose "Open File". Navigate to the DVD and its VIDEO_TS folder and click OK. Your file should now be playing in QuickTIme Player.
    QuickTIme Pro can't edit or export this file with audio. It can't be imported into iMovie until it is converted.
    Download and install MPEG Streamclip (free).
    Open MPEG Streamclip, navigate to your DVD and choose the VIDEO_TS folder. Click OK and it will open in Streamclip.
    Choose "Export" and pick DV Stream. Wait for the conversion to finish. It will make a new file (you name it).
    Open iMovie and "Import" this new .dv file and make your edits, etc. "
    It may be of use to the OP.

  • How to use my own DTD and table using the XML SQL utility.

    Hey,
    Here is my question. I have succesfully installed Oracle XML SQL utility and I had played around on that. Now I have my own DTD that too from Rosettanet(PIP). Tell me how can I use my own table, and my dtd using the existing utility. What are all the changes do I need to do. I am strugling it from past 4 days. I couldn't. Please help me!

    Hi chris,
    Yes, the SQL can be changed only by using Discoverer Administrator.
    Open the report/workbook that is based on the custom SQL that you want to change in Discoverer Plus. Look at the Folder that is being used to select the columns of the report.
    Open up the Discoverer Administrator with the id that has access to the tables referenced in the report. And the custom folder with the same name as in Disc Plus would be listed down in the Business Area (Which Business Area the custom folder belongs to can be determined with the help of disc plus).
    Just open up that folder, and change the SQL in it. You can pasted your new sql in there and click on Validate SQL to validate it for errors. If no errors, then the custom folder is successfully changed.
    In order to have it reflected, close your existing disc plus session and reopen it, and you can go about using the custom folder.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

    Is your lib/path variable set correctly and if you are using a GUI, you can add it to the packages to include in your project.
    Once these are taken care of then it will be found by the project.

  • How to use your own database with your users to authenticate in a Web app?

    Hello, everybody!
    I'm starting to write my first web application and I'm going to use JSF, JPA and EJB3 in this application. One of the first things that I have to do on it is the authentication part where I'll have a page with a user name and a password for the user to login. So, as I'm new to all this in Java (I've already implemented this on .NET in the past), I was studying the Java EE 5 Tutorial, especifically the section "Example: Using Form-Based Authentication with a JSP Page". But I saw that the users that the sample application uses come from the file realm on the Application Server. The users are created there and assigned a name, a password and a group. After the users are in the Application Server we can simply uses forms authentication declaratively in the deployment descriptor (web.xml).
    But the problem is that this doesn't work to me as I already have my own database with my users, so I want to use it instead of having to create the users on the Application Server.
    So, I'm asking you how to do that. Of course I'm not expecting that you place the code here to me as I know that such a thing could be complicated. Instead, I'm asking if you know about some tutorial, article, book or something that teaches how to do what I want. But I would like to see theses examples using JSF and/or EJB3 because these are the technologies that I'm using to develop. It's a pity that the Java EE 5 Tutorial doesn't have an example using a custom database as I know that this situation is very common in the majority of web sites.
    Thank you very much.
    Marcos

    From memory, it goes like this... You just create a
    raw jdbc connection on your user database using a
    special "login" DB user account, which has
    permissions only to an "authenticate" stored query,
    which accepts two arguments: username & password, and
    returns a boolean 0 or 1 rows found.When I implemented this in .NET's ASP.NET I had the same solution. I had an special user created in the database that I used to log in. When the real user entered his username and password I was already logged in and I had just to check his username and password agains the right table in my database.
    But that was only possible bacause when I connected to the database using my hidden user, I used the rights APIs in ASP.NET that coordinate the authentication process. This means that before login in, no one could access any resources (pages, atc...). So what I'm saying is that I can't manager this manually in Java. Java has to have some API or whatever to allow me to control the login process programmatically, while letting the Application Server control the access to the resources.

  • Here's how to use your own custom Webclip icons for the sites you visit.

    This method is pretty much 95% taken from this URL: http://allinthehead.com/retro/319/how-to-set-an-apple-touch-icon-for-any-site , so credit where credit is due. The instructions are a bit hard to understand though, so I'll try to make it easier for everyone.
    Fortunately, this works for both Macs and PCs.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Requirements:
    - iPhone on 1.1.3 and any version of iTunes that can sync to iPhone
    - Adobe Photoshop or any other image editing program that can crop, alter image size, and save .png image files. (Recommended 24-bit .pngs as they are higher quality)
    - Apple Safari ( http://www.apple.com/safari/, and yes, you need it.)
    - A website or ftp where you can upload images and directly link to them, like Google Pages.
    Warning:
    - This requires you to sync your Safari bookmarks to your iPhone. You will probably lose all of your iPhone's bookmarks if you don't already sync your Safari bookmarks with your iPhone. Only proceed if you do not mind losing your iPhone's current bookmarks and do not mind re-entering them after the bookmark sync. NOTE: The bookmark sync DOES NOT get rid of your current Webclips though, so don't worry about those.
    Easy Steps:
    1) First, make sure that you are following these instructions in the Apple Safari web browser.
    2) Find an image you wish to make into a Webclip icon. (ex: I prefer to use movies.yahoo.com to look at movie showtimes, so I found an image of a movie reel from Google Image Search and decided to use that.)
    3) Open the image with your preferred image editor and crop your desired image into a perfect square. Resize that picture down to 57x57 pixels. Save as a 24-bit .png file. Upload the icon to your webpage or ftp. (ex: I ended up with this icon of a movie reel: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png )
    4) Select and copy the javascript code in this .txt file: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/webclipcode.txt
    5) Go to Bookmarks and select "Add Bookmark..."
    6) Type in "Webclip Icon URL"
    7) Go to Bookmarks again and select "Show all Bookmarks."
    8) Right-click your new "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark and select "Edit Address"
    9) Paste your clipboard's contents into the field.
    10) Plug your iPhone into the computer if it's not connected already.
    11) In iTunes, select your iPhone from the right column. Select the Info tab. Scroll down to "Web Browser" and check "Sync bookmarks with: Safari" (obviously, make sure Safari is selected from the dropdown menu).
    12) Once your iPhone is synced, use your iPhone to navigate to your intended website target to make into a Webclip. Remember that Webclips save where you zoom in as well! (ex: For me, it was movies.yahoo.com and then entering in my zip code.)
    13) Once you've loaded your target website, open up the bookmarks in iPhone's Safari, select Bookmarks Bar, then select Webclip Icon URL.
    14) Type in the address of your uploaded icon. (ex: In my case, it is http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png)
    15) iPhone's Safari will seem like it didn't do anything. However, add that webpage now to your home screen as a Webclip. Magic.
    Additional note:
    It is easiest to make a bunch of icons at first and to upload them. However, once that "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark is in your iPhone, there is no need to go back and do any of the computer Safari steps again
    My front page icons in order (Sorry Stocks, it's the second page for you!):
    Google, Wikipedia, Definr, Showtimes

  • How to use third party plugins in PP CC 2014

    This is my first venture to use a third party plugin, in this case it's a transition plugin, and I'm trying to get it to work in my newly updated Premiere Pro CC 2014 on my Windows computer. I unzipped the files for the plugin into the Program Files/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore folder. When I open PP and go to add one of the new transitions, they don't appear in the Video Transitions drop down menu to select and apply them. I did some googling and saw a workaround involving an adjustment layer, but also saw several posts that said the 2014 version enables drag and drop compatibility. Any input greatly appreciated.

    It's called the Fancy Particles Transition Pack authored by Stefato which I found on Videohive here: Motion Graphics - Fancy Particle Transitions Pack | VideoHive. There were four versions which came zipped and I unzipped them to the MediaCore folder reference in my original post. When I saw the 7.0 in the path I kinda figured something may have changed on the internals between PP 7 and PP8. Still hoping someone will come through with a solution.

  • How to use my own ringtones

    How to move my ringtones from pc to iphone?
    I have several my own created stuff that I want use in my iphone. Those are in mp3, wav, mp4 and other formats.

    Ringtones for the iPhone have to be in m4r format. If you have created ringtone parts that are <30 seconds in length, they can be converted and put on the iPhone. Try Google, you will find a great deal of information on how to accomplish this, as it requires converting the file to a m4a and then renaming the file. mp3 and wav files will have to be converted to AAC format.

  • How to use the llb library to add many vi into it??

    >>i have design a program with labview 8. now, I want to celect all of my vis into a library.
    >>I can use llb manager to create a library, but i found every time i can only add one vi to my library.
    >>From "view>> vi hierarchy"  I can see all the vi my use. there are to many to add.

    Attachments:
    lib1.zip ‏142 KB

    First of all, unless you just want to distribute the llb, saving a project into one is a bad, bad idea. A single corrupt VI can corrupt the entire llb, making all of your work corrupt. Development should be done with VIs in folders like you have. An llb is also not compatible with source code control. The forum has numerous posts from people asking for help in recovering a corrupt llb.
    The warning being given, you can easily create an llb with all subVIs by opening the main VI and doing a Save with Options>Development Distribution. The VI Library Manager can be used to convert an entire folder into an llb but if the folder contains VIs not used, they will get included also. If you can any VIs dynamically, you will have to manually add them.
    Reread what I said at the top.

Maybe you are looking for
