I'm trying to understand multiple-rendition articles.

I'm basically trying to find out how to design a cover photo that displays at 1536 x 2048 on an iPad 3 and also displays at 768 x 1024 on an older iPad-- and I haven't been able to do it yet. Do you basically create 2 photos - one at each resolution? If so, how do you control which one is displayed? Is it defined by the file structure?
I've read multiple articles and it seems overly confusing
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't answer my question or help me.
All I'm trying to do is create a cover image that displays at full resolution on an iPad 3 which would be 1536 x 2048.
Since the DPS iPad doc size defaults to 768 x 1024, I assumed that I would need to bring the photo in at full resolution and size it down to fit the page - but I'm not getting the full revolution when I preview it.
The reason I brought up multiple images is that's what I'm reading in Adobe articles on creating multiple renditions.
So, do I just create the folio at 1536 x 2048?

Trying to understand and learn how to use btrfs

I have been the past days trying to get my head around how btrfs works
I have been trying tools like mkinitcpio-btrfs (very poorly documented) and now, if i list the subvolumes i have in certain volume (/) i see i have 4 subvolumes that have been created while playing around.
If i try to delete them with "sudo btrfs subvolume delete __active", for example, I get a "ERROR: Error accessing '__active'
What am I doing wrong?
Also, I cannot get the whole idea about the difference between snapshots and subvolumes, i mean, a snapshot should be a directory that saves the changes made on the fs, s, if you want to roll back those changes, you just have to make btrfs "forget" the changes stored in that directory and move along, but I cannot take the idea of the subvolume thing.....
As btrfs is quite experimental and the wikis are not noob-proof still, I'd appreciate if someone gave me a hand trying to understand these concept...
For the moment, I'm just using it on a test computer and on a personal laptop with no fear of data loss,.
Any help is welcome
Thanks!

I honestly think it is probably a better idea to not use mkinitpcio-btrfs. As mentioned above, it is poorly documented, and for me it has never worked right (if at all). It is an unofficial AUR package, and unfortunately our wiki still seems to give the false impression that using this package is the way to user btrfs with Arch.
The way I have my system set up is that in subvolid=0 (the root of the btrfs filesystem) I have a rootfs subvolume and a home subvolume (there are others, but these are what primarily make up my system). So in my fstab, I basically have two nearly identical lines, but one has no subvol specified and is mounted at /, and the other has 'subvol=home' mounted at /home.
So in order to make it so that I can change the root filesystem as I please, instead of having the / fstab entry specify the subvolume, I put it in the kernel command line. That is, I have 'rootflags=subvol=rootfs' in the kernel command line. So if I want to change it, I simply change the path to one of the snapshots.
Just remember that if you are one who likes a custom kernel, it is likely that you will have to have an initamfs no matter what you compile into your kernel. For one thing, the kernel has no mechanism for scanning for multiple device btrfs filesystems. But also, I have read that the kernel itself cannot handle the rootflags kernel command line argument.
Oracle Linux does something interesting with their default setup. They are not a rolling release, so this probably wouldn't work so well in Arch Linux, but they actually install the root filesystem (I think it is actually done to subvolid=0) and then after installation of the packages, a snapshot of the root filesystem is made, and the system is setup to boot off of that snapshot. So it is almost like having an overlayfs on openwrt. There is always a copy of the original system, and and changes that are being made are being done "on top" of the original. So in the event of an emergency, yo can always get back to the original working state.
If you put your root filesystem on something other than the root of the btrfs filesystem (which you should, as it makes the whole setup much more flexible), then you should also set up a mountpoint somewhere to give administrator access to the filesystem from subvolid=0. For example, I have an autofs mountpoint at /var/lib/btrfs-root. chose that spot because /var/lib is where devtools puts the clean chroot. So it seemed as reasonable a place as any.
You should go to the btrfs wiki, and peruse through the stuff there... not our wiki, but the actual btrfs one, as our wiki is pretty sparse. There is not all that much content there (not like the Arch wiki), but it does cover the features pretty well. I mean, there is certainly quite a lot for being information on only a single filesystem, but it shouldn't take you too long to get through it. There are a few links to articles about midway down the front page. What really gave me a better grasp of getting started with btrfs were the ones titled "How I Got Started with the Btrfs Filesystem for Oracle Linux" and "How I Use the Advanced Capabilities of Btrfs".

Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents. When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good. It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.
Please help!

According to an Apple Support article, unless there are unforeseen issues
in file ownership or permissions, the combining of .PDFs should be simple.
•OS X: Combining PDF documents using Preview - Apple Support
There are a few variable and similar methods, some change with version
of OS X in use; some vintage OS X may vary a little in the process...
A variety of similar topics appear in search results, with terms:
" mac os x combine pdf into one " such as this page shows...
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mac%20os%20x%20combine%20pdf%20into%20one
If the system is older than Mavericks there may be other methods to try.

How do I publish multiple renditions??

I am trying to get my first app on the app store, and I want an SD version and an HD version. I've been reading all of these discussions and I am confused... I am using single edition, so di I only need one serial number, or two? If only one, should my file be one InDesign file with 2 renditions, or should I create two different files, one for SD and one for HD? I tried both ways, but when I downloaded the test file for the single InDesign file with 2 renditions, only the SD version shows up on my HD iPad. When I try two InDesign files, I started with the HD version, got all the way to the point where I can download and test an HD version, but then when I try to create an SD version I am not allowed because the serial number is already used by the HD version. HELP! How does this work???? I can't find any documentation online that is a step by step process for this. Also, my files will not upload as PDF, they fail every time so I am uploading as Automatic.

If you're creating a Single Edition app, you cannot use folio renditions because only one folio can be included in a Single Edition app. Instead, use a feature called "multi-rendition articles," which is a way of creating articles that look good on both HD and SD devices. See this article:

Trying to understand PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED

Hello,
I'm trying to understand the PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED setting. It is my understanding that when I put this in my class, it means that the container managed transaction will span multiple method calls.
I have a stateful bean:
@Stateful(name = "StatefulContainerSessionEJB")
public class StatefulContainerSessionEJBBean implements StatefulContainerSessionEJB, StatefulContainerSessionEJBLocal {
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "Model",
type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
private EntityManager em;
// implied REQUIRED transaction
public void createAddress() {
try {
// create a new address
Address addr = new Address();
//... set addr fields
System.out.println("Persist addr at: " + addr.getStreet());
em.persist(addr);
System.out.println("Persist of addr complete");
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
// transaction should still be alive here
@Remove // this is what causes the transaction to end
public void cancelTransaction() {
System.out.println("Transaction rolledback");
em.getTransaction().setRollbackOnly();
And in my main code I have:
StatefulContainerSessionEJB statefulContainerSessionEJB;
public String createAddressThruStateful() {
System.out.println("Create Address Thru Stateful Button hit....");
try {
final Context context = getInitialContext();
statefulContainerSessionEJB = (StatefulContainerSessionEJB)context.lookup("StatefulContainerSessionEJB");
statefulContainerSessionEJB.createAddress();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
public String cancelPartTimeTransaction() {
System.out.println("Cancel Address Thru Stateful Button hit....");
try {
statefulContainerSessionEJB.cancelTransaction();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
First question is: am I using the Stateful bean correctly in main? i.e. its a class level variable and get instantiated in the createAddressThruStateful call.
My second question is: when I run this code, my address get commited to the DB at the end of the createAddress() call. I didn't expect this to happen.
Please straigten me out.
Thanks,
Chris

please tell me what the inout in this coode means:A parameter that supplies input as well as accepts output is an INOUT parameter.

Trying to understand upgrade fee

I have spent the better part of the last three months trying to understand why one has to pay an upgrade fee. If we renew the contract and buy another phone, then why do we need to spend an additional $30 for an "enttled" upgrade? Why not build it into the phone price if everyone has to pay it? It seems petty if you deal with Verizon Wireless on a longterm basis

Why do doctors charge multiple co-pays instead of just adding that price into the outrageous charges they submitted to the insurance carriers?
They charge the upgrade fee because you are purchasing a phone that costs $500-$800 for less that 1/4 the cost of the phone.
You see you charge co-pays separate from your charges. Verizon does the same. So this should not be an issue.
Good Luck

Publishing Multiple Renditions - iPad Overrides Android

Hi,
We have just begun working on publishing our magazines to android, so to see how things work, I am doing some testing with publishing multiple renditions such that you get a 800x1280 magazine on android (Galaxy 2 specifically at the moment) and 768x1024 on iPads. However, when I publish both, only the iPad rendition displays on the Adobe Viewer app.
I have tried the following.
Both renditions have the same folio name, publication name, folio number, publication date and product ID.
Both renditions have the same folio name, publication name, folio number, publication date and different product ID.
Publish Android version first.
Publish iPad version first.
These all result in the iPad version overriding the Android version.
Any help would be appreciated.

We have seen many publishers using 2 different accounts. One for iPad and one for android. This way there is no chance for iPad version to conflict with android version.
Galaxy tab 10" has 48 pixel system bars and also because of that your device is taking 1024x768 rendition.
Supported rendition for Samsung Galaxy 10" is:
For Dual Orientation: 1232×752
For Portrait: 1232×800
For Landscape: 1280×752
It is recommended to follow this document: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2012/10/creating-dps-folios-for-android-devices.html

Hello, World - trying to understand the steps

Hello, Experts!
I am pretty new to Flash Development, so I am trying to understand how to implement the following steps using Flash environment
http://pdfdevjunkie.host.adobe.com/00_helloWorld.shtml
Step 1: Create the top level object. Use a "Module" rather than an "Application" and implement the "acrobat.collection.INavigator" interface. The INavigator interface enables the initial hand shake with the Acrobat ActionScript API. Its only member is the set host function, which your application implements. During the initialize cycle, the Acrobat ActionScript API invokes your set host function. Your set host function then initializes itself, can add event listeners, and performs other setup tasks.Your code might look something like this.
<mx:Module xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" implements="acrobat.collection.INavigator" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
Step 2: Create your user interface elements. In this example, I'm using a "DataGrid" which is overkill for a simple list but I'm going to expand on this example in the future. Also notice that I'm using "fileName" in the dataField. The "fileName" is a property of an item in the PDF Portfolio "items" collection. Later when we set the dataProvider of the DataGrid, the grid will fill with the fileNames of the files in the Portfolio.
<mx:DataGrid id="itemList" initialize="onInitialize()" width="350" rowCount="12"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="fileName" headerText="Name"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid>
Step 3: Respond to the "initialize" event during the creation of your interface components. This is important because there is no coordination of the Flash Player's initialization of your UI components and the set host(), so these two important milestone events in your Navigator's startup phase could occur in either order. The gist of a good way to handler this race condition is to have both your INavigator.set host() implementation and your initialize() or creationComplete() handler both funnel into a common function that starts interacting with the collection only after you have a non-null host and an initialized UI. You'll see in the code samples below and in step 4, both events funnel into the "startEverything()" function. I'll duscuss that function in the 5th step.
               private function onInitialize():void { _listInitialized = true; startEverything(); }

Trying to understand Android OS updates delays

This is not another hate mail, it´s more about trying to understand the facts and motives regarding the OS updates (or lack of).
Hopefully this material will arrive at someone from Sony with enough power to do something about it.
Ever since I can remember, Sony has been THE brand for electronics. I can´t remember a TV or VCR in my house that it wasn´t Sony, and they lasted for LOTS of years.
When a couple years ago I finally had the money (and the need) for a Smartphone, i chose the X10 Mini, which is a great little phone from a great brand, but it´s stuck at Android 2.1... which makes it a crippled android nowadays...
It really bothered me the lack of OS updates, so I chose to buy a Galaxy Nexus, but it´s really expensive in my country. So my second option was a Galaxy Ace 2, but they haven´t arrived to my country yet, so I went with my third option: Xperia Sola, knowing beforehand that it´s a great phone, a great brand, but I might get slow OS updates.
I bought it about 10 days ago when I saw they were starting to roll out the updates.
10 days later I still don´t have my update. And not only that, but I don´t see much light at the end of the tunnel...
I found a thread with the SI numbers that were updated, and there were a bunch on Oct 1, another bunch on Oct 4, and one code on Oct 8, and no other update since...
I also read that those who did get the update, were having bugs with the OS, and also found threads from other Xperia models, whose updates began rolling 3 months ago, and there is still people who hasn´t gotten the update...
As a customer, and a owner/CEO of a small company, I have a really hard time understanding how a HUGE company like Sony can be making such mistakes...
I have been thinking objective reasons, and I can only think of one. I know it´s a wild guess, but I´m starting to think that our salvation might be the very thing that means our condemnation: CYANOGENMOD!!!
Think about it: Why would Sony spend more money hiring twice as much programmers, when they can make only one update per phone, and sit down and see how CM releases begin to appear, for all tastes and needs. And... IT´s FREE!!!
Also, if there is a software related problem (way more likely than a hardware problem), then the CM developers take the fall, instead of Sony. And I´m beginning to see custom OS installers that are more user friendly, so it might be something that they take in accout when neglecting OS updates.
If that´s the line Sony is following, it´s a very risky move and it won´t work. Sony Mobile will crash and burn, but it´s still a better business plan that "let´s get lazy and make ULTRA slow updates so we don´t spend a lot of money programming".
If you can´t afford more programmers, stop including so much bells and whistles and make your OS near vanilla. Include a couple of Xperia menus, a custom theme and voila!
The main reason I wanted the Galaxy Nexus is Vanilla OS, which means inmediate OS updates. Sony on the other hand, takes a year or two to release it after its launch. If they release it at all...
Another though... why not stop making that many different phones! Really! There are like 5 Xperia models i can´t tell one from the other... even with specs side by side!
You are trying to make too many phones and you are failing with all of them! (Software and software updates are also part of the phone, one of the most importants...)
I know hiring programmers is expensive, but you are sacrificing one of the most expensive values for a company EVER: Customer credibility! Which as you know better than me, takes years to create.
If Apple had problems with carriers and code aprooving and stuff, they might get away with it, becouse they alone have all the devices. If iOS 6 is delayed a few months, it´s delayed for everyone, and besides Apple fanboys rarely complain about Mac products, but Android is a more independent and educated market.
I´m not saying that Apple users are ignorant, not at all, but I´m pretty sure most iPhone owners don´t even know what processor or how much RAM their phone has. They just "swallow" the Apple Way of Life. (it´s a good phone becouse Apple says so).
The Android user on the other side, because of the fragmentation of the market, has many brands and models to choose from. An Android user about to buy a new phone will most likely go online looking for different models, specs, reviews in webs and forums...etc.
You can´t say "I don´t know how HTC and other companies get their updates so soon, but we take a lot more becouse Google and the Operators must aproove the code.", because there are many other brands that have exactly the same difficulties or more, since they are smaller, and we can SEE online that they are indeed delivering solid and relativly fast updates.
Did we miss something? Does HTC use Witchcraft to get their code aprooved?
My underlying point is this: You are getting lazy... VERY lazy with software programming for your phones, and WE KNOW IT!
It´s not the "difficulties" you claim, becouse every brand has those difficulties.
This isn´t 1999 you know. We are in the information age. If you lie to us and tell us that your phones have the latest OS, I can go online and see that you don´t (Hello!!!). If I see that the company lies to it´s customers, I will stop buying their products. If I´m so dissapointed with how Sony handles OS updates and their customers queries about it, then I want for the first time ever to sell my Cell Phone becouse I´m not happy with it, or the brand behind it.
We also live in the "Here and now" age. You can´t expect your customers to read about new Android releases on news and blogs, and wait YEARS with arms crossed waiting for their update... The world doesn´t work like that. Not anymore at least...
It´s not a matter of how many recources you have, it´s about how you use and balance them. GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO SOFTWARE UPDATES! IT´S WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU THINK! LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!
You guys are Sony are smart and design great products, but you are not GOD! You are not our wife, no one has sworn alliagence to you.
If you stop giving us good products and start lying to us, we hate you and stop giving you our money. Simple as that.
My sola is beatiful, I love the design, the screen, the hardware... but it hasn´t been updated yet to 4.0, not to mention 4.1, which REALLY is the latest version... so stop advertising that your phones have the latest Android OS, unless you want angry customers switching to other companies, which you are getting.
I also read some stories that Androind 4.0 was announced for the Xperia PLAY, and then it was called off... Do you have any idea how pissed I would be and ripped off I would be if I bought my phone based in that information and then you say it won´t be available?
Well, actually right now my possition is worse, since you SAY you will update my phone, but you don´t say when, and I read online about people still not getting their updates months after the rollout started, so I´m in the limbo right now...
As a company, one of the worse things you can do is calling your customers stupid, and when I see the answers you give in this forum, then I feel insulted. I feel like they are talking to an idiot or ignorant person with the so called "diplomatic" answers, which are basicly empty excuses for not doing your job right.
You gave us the frikking CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays!!! Don´t tell us you can´t tweak an already built OS in a year!
I really hope you change their OS update policies really soon, before you lose the already small cellphone market share you have, or at least change your P.R. and C.M. policies towards a more open one.
We all are humans and make mistakes, but we customers really appreciate honesty and truth.
Have an open conversation with your customers! Don´t lie about your shortcomings! Accept then and ask the community to help you solve them, ask them what they biggest problems are, what features are most important to them, how often do they expect updates... LISTEN TO THEM!!
"Succes is a meneace. It tricks smart people into thinking they can´t lose."
Ps: Nothing personal with the mods from this forum, I´m not killing the messenger, I know that you can ONLY give the info you are allowed to give, and even if you wanted, you probably don´t know the answers yourself, since you work in the Communications department, not Developement or anything technical, and if you can't give any given info, then they probably won´t give it to you either... My message is to the company as a whole. I just hope you will be a good messenger and give this to whoever needs to read it.

My bad, it´s closer to 40 the number of phones released hehe
I know it´s all about money, and I know Sony is obligated to neglect users who haven´t given them money after an x ammount of time. However, it´s not a matter of making the phones obsolete earlier, so the users want to buy a new phone faster and therefore getting more money.
A person will buy a new phone when he/she has the money to do so and wants to do so.
It´s not a matter of WHEN. It´s a matter of WHAT.
The question is not "When will that user buy a new phone?", but rather "When that user buys a new phone, whenever that is, what phone will it be?"
I have a love/hate relationship with Apple. I would never use a iPhone. I would love having any Mac, if someone gives it to me, but I would never spend my harn earned dollars on such an overpriced piece of hardware over general principals.
However, i do recognice that Steve Jobs was a business genius. Weather you like or love his ideas and methods, he turned a garage project into the biggest company in the world, with a market value higher than Exxon with 1/3 of it´s assets.
Apple is a money making machine, and that is where the "hate" part of my relationship comes from.
However, it surprised me a lot to see that they released iOS 6 for the iPhone 3GS, released in 2008!
That get´s you thinking, that inside all that "SELL NOW" culture Apple is, they also support their older devices that people bought years ago but can't buy a new phone now. However, when they can do it, it will surely be another iPhone. Because they FEEL that the company listens and cares for them.
Also if you jump from iOS 6 on the 3 GS to a brand new iPhone 5, the transition will be virtually non-existant, except for Siri and a couple of features.
However jumping from Android 1.5 or 2.1 to Jelly Bean, might not be so easy on some users, making them more likely to give iPhone a shot.
Since they have to adapt to another phone anyway, they might as well try the apple...
And for old users, it gives people a sense of continuity and care about the user. Otherwise we feel like being kicked out of a restaurant right after we payed the bill.

Trying to understand OIM - Please help

Hello All,
I am pretty new to OIM, just trying to understand how OIM works. For the past 4 years I was in Sun IdM and planning to switch over to OIM.
I read some documentation, I think OIM will perform basic provisioning and it contains out of box connectors to do basic provisoning. I have some questions can anybody please help
- Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
- If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
- If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have? for example if the AD connector does not support to delete the exchange mailbox, how your going to perform this in OIM? Do we need to write a Java code for this?
- How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
- Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
Please share any information.
Thanks in advance.

Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
- JAVA
If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
- If OOTB connectors are not available then you'll have build you own connector as per Target Resource.
If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have?
- You'll have customize their connector as per your requirements or write your own
How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
- We can't calculate how much java. It's totally depends on requirements how much code you'll ahve to write. But everything will be done using Java only.
- Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
Here Group represent Role. At a small scale it supports. But for large scale you'll have to use Oracle Role Manager as you do in Sun Role Manager.

In an album in Photos touch the Edit button and then touch the desired photos (up to 5). A blue check appears in each selected photo. Next touch the Share button at the upper left and select Mail. This starts a email with the photos attached.

Hello,
Assuming that you use a Web version (this information MUST be provided in any post), you have 2 ways to run reports:
1. the Run_Report_Object built-in
2. the Web.Show_Document() built-in

Trying to get multiple cell values within a geometry

I am provided with 3 tables:
1 - The GeoRaster
2 - The geoRasterData table
3 - A VAT table who's PK is the cell value from the above tables
Currently the user can select a point in our application and by using the getCellValue we get the cell value which is the PK on the 3rd table and this gives us the details to return to the user.
We now want to give the worst scenario within a given geometry or distance. So if I get back all the cell values within a given geometry/distance I can then call my other functions against the 3rd table to get the worst scores.
I had a conversation open for this before where JeffreyXie had some brilliant input, but it got archived while I was waiting on Oracle to resolve a bug (about 7 months)
See:
Trying to get multiple cell values within a geometry
If I am looking to get a list of cell values that interact with my geometry/distance and then loop through them, is there a better way?
BTW, if anybody wants to play with this functionality, it only seems to work in 11.2.0.4.
Below is the code I was using last, I think it is trying to get the cell values but the numbers coming back are not correct, I think I am converting the binary to integer wrong.
Any ideas?

Hey guys,
Zzhang,
That's a good spot and as it happens I spotted that and that is why I am sure I am querying that lob wrong. I always get the a logic going past the total length of the lob.
I think I am ok using 11.2.0.4, if I can get this working it is really important to us, so saying to roll up to 11.2.0.4 for this would be no problem.
The error in 11.2.0.3 was an internal error: [kghstack_underflow_internal_3].
Something that I think I need to find out more about, but am struggling to get more information on is, I am assuming that the lob that is returned is all cell values or at lest an array of 4 byte (32 bit) chunks, although, I don't know this.
Is that a correct assumption or is there more to it?
Have either of you seen any documentation on how to query this lob?
Thanks

I'm trying to understand multiple-rendition articles.
