I think I'm in big trouble now - CFReport

Hi all,
My client asked for some nicer reports that don't look so "excel-ish", specifically they wanted to see some nice looking 3D charts along with their data in a PDF format.
So, I worked on trying to create some nice mockup charts using the CFChart command, which I haven't used in a few years. I discovered the whole WebCharts3D series of charts, and was fairly impressed with the flexibility it had. So, I created an HTML page with my data and my new charts, and used CFDocument to make them a PDF. They looked great! Nice gradients on the backgrounds, my client's logo at the top of each chart, pie charts that jump out of the page at you... I got more than a few "wow's".
Then, I had to do it for real, and quickly saw that using CFDocument does not allow you to print page headers and footers when the report is more than a page long. I played for quite a while with google searches and CSS tricks to get it to happen, but it just isn't there yet - you can't get multiple footers to print (although you can get multiple headers - but it's hokey). Not to mention problems of the page break cutting off a line of text (maybe solvable, but at what cost? hours more of my time). So, I gave up using the CFDocument tag for our reports.
Then I tried the CF Report Builder. I have had some teething issues, but have been able to get a basic report at least, complete with my client's logo and watermark, and a pie chart. However, the pie chart looks terrible compared to the slick WebCharts3D pie chart that I did before. Plus, I haven't been able to get a bar chart work off of a passed in query yet, but I could probably get through that on my own.
To my question. Can you use a Webcharts3D chart in a CFReport? or, in other words, can you use CFChart in a CFReport?
If I cannot, I think I'm in big trouble, as the client thinks I can create these nice charts in a slew of new reports they want me to write... and I'll have to tell them that it's not possible? After I've already shown them what CFDocument can do?
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately, the file is probably gone.
If it is retrievable, you will need to go directly into the drive. This means that the drive must be pulled from the Time Capsule and placed in an enclosure, just to see if the software program can retrieve the information. That's a big "IF".
I haven't tried this, (pulling the drive will void the warranty on the Time Capsule), so I can't predict what your chances of success may be. Perhaps some other users could help in this regard.

  • I think I've got big trouble

    OK, I tried using iTunes to organize my music files which were spread over two different hard drives. I copied all the songs onto one drive, but, to make a long story short, I ended up with about 47 gigs of duplicate songs. I thought the easy thing to do would be to delete all the songs, and repopulate them from my iPod, which has all the songs I have. But now I can't figure out how to recover the songs from my iPod. Can anyone help, please?

    OK, I was able to import all the songs, and used another program to rename them. However, I have some file names that are too long for iPod to handle. Is there some utility around that can truncate file names?
    Thanks

  • I am a newbie...and I think I did a big no-no as my Ipad isn't working.  I synced it to a second computer at work which is a new Imac after already syncing to my pc at home with Itunes.  Now it says it can't restore and can't get it to open.  HELP!

    iPad can connect only in one iTunes Library. If you want to connect it to a iTunes Library then you have to erase it. You can erase it from iTunes. Make sure you iPad doesn't have a password, or if it has a password make sure that you connect to the computer and enter the password of your iPad

  • Big trouble installing MS Access App - WIN7

    Hello, everybody! (LET ME STRESS THAT, I STILL CAN INSTALL IT 'EVERYWHERE', NO PROBLEM. THAT'S HAPPENING JUST TO MY CLIENT. MAYBE I DIDN'T MAKE THAT CLEAR ENOUGH, SORRY FOR THE CAPS)
    Well, I'm having a big trouble when trying to install access app, and that's just unbelieveable! I would like to share it with You, expert fellows, and ask for some help, if You don't mind.
    Technically, my client is having a problem,  not me, not at all! And here's the scenario :
    1. Application runs on AccessRuntime 2010
    2. FE accdr(from compiled accde) and BE accdb
    3. I use InnoSetup to copy the files, run the additional softwares, all 'Trusted Location' settings are created, it's just perfect.
    4. It was installing OK a couple of days ago(just accdr from accdb)
    5. I was able to install it anywhere, I don't see anything wrong(Win8,Win7, i bet it would even work on XP)
    6. It was running a couple of days ago until i added the compiled accde->accdr instead of accdb->accdr to the setup, that was the only update applied to  current Setup program, and I bet that's what's happening, don't
    know why, or how, since it's fine for me, works just the same. Tricky, specially because i don't see s**t, and in fact, nothing works, it's just amazing!
    7. The bug : After installed, error messages : 
    *1 'the expression you entered has a function name that "app name" can't find'
    *2 Some window to stop macros :
    *3 '"app name" cannot run the macro or callback function "Callbackonload" make sure the macro or function exists and takes the correct parameters (Callbackonload Loads ribbons settings,
    with icons, all that thing. Never had any trouble with it, not even when i started working with that ribbon stuff)
    *4 and again, error report on  'popup' windows:
    Now, I wouldn't like to install a non-compiled file, rather to contour the bug, if that's the reason for it as it seems.
    Specially because this individual, thinks he's part of development team, and is always giving 'contributions' on how to test, how to track bugs, or allegedly bugs or how things work, etc, because he's been a developer 100 years ago, and something, and it will
    not take long for him to start messing things around, besides the fact he bought an application only, not source code.  
    Anyway, I'm having a bit of a hard time finding a way out of this, and simply don't know how to proceed, so if anybody would kindly share one's knowledge with me and help me out on this subject, I would appreciate a lot, as usually!
    Thanks everybody, and excuse me, if that's a clumsy question!

    Actually, the scenario you outline includes the “golden ring” information as to the problem. (as a result – your post is VERY good since you included details as to WHEN the application works, and when it does not! – well done on your part!!!).
    You CAREFULLY note that when you distribute a NON compiled (accDB) then your application works.
    You CAREFULLY note that when you distribute a compiled application (accDE), then it does NOT work. For the people reading this post – this is the above “golden ring” information that explains what is going on.
    In NEAR ALL cases the above means that the target computer has a DIFFERENT version of Access. And when I say “different” version that INCLUDES Access with a DIFFERENT SP update level!
    With Access 2010 (full edition), the SP updates are rolled out automatic by windows update. With the Access runtime, such SP updates are NOT rolled out.
    This means the customer machine (client) is running a DIFFERENT version of Access. When you supply an accDB, then Access can (and WILL) detect that the VBA code needs to be re-compiled.
    WHEN you distribute an accDE, then then VBA source code is NOT available. And of course the target computer is running a different version of Access (and as noted “different” INCLUDES when talking about SAME version of office but DIFFERENT SP update levels).
    The end result is you need to compile the accDE on the SAME SP revision level that the customer is using. They are VERY likely installing 2010 runtime, but NOT installing the SP2 update to access runtime. MOST important here is installing the office SP2
    update on that target will NOT update the Access runtime!
    As a side note, for Access 2013, the download DOES include the SP updates, but 2010 does NOT!
    I thus suggest they download + install the Access runtime SP2 update. Remember, SPECIFIC they must run the Access 2010 runtime SP2 update – the office 2010 SP update is NOT sufficient.
    So the “BIG HINT” here is that WHEN you include source code, your application runs fine. When you DO NOT include source code (accDE), then the application fails on the target computer. And this is a GREAT lesson for people posting – since they now know and
    realize the above issue.
    So the “big” hint is WHEN code can not re-compile your application breaks. This is due to the SP level on your development machine being different then the Access SP update level on the target computer.
    The above problem is exasperated by the OFTEN occurring issue that your development machine will receive the office update via windows update automatic, and the runtime does not.
    However I give you a BIG THUMBS up, since you INCLUDED the VERY IMPORTANT detail that an accDB runs, but the accDE does not!
    So the accDB includes source code and will “automatic” re-compile on the customers machine – the accDE does not do this and in fact cannot due to no source code being included.
    And I should point out that this automatic VBA re-compile even occurs if the customer has runtime only installed.
    So VERY important here is when distribution compiled code, you must ensure that the target computer MATCHES your SP update level that you used to develop the application.
    And, do post back to verify the above issue - I have a VERY high confidence the above is your issue, since I seen it a zillion times in the last year!

  • Big trouble moving Archived Canon 5D/7D footage.

    Hi All,
    here i'm with big trouble batch capturing an huge quantity of footage.
    Here the worklow:
    All the footage has been log and trasfered in ProRes Proxy.
    At end of editing, I'd like to take all the clip in Prores HQ.
    I've created an offline version and the moved to another system.
    Here the troubles. Many of the cards are not readable and even when I read it, Final cut
    tell me that nothing is ready. The incredible thing is that if I do the same thing on the original system
    it works great! Any idea is very well Accepted! Please help me!
    Many thanks in advance! Best Regards
    Paul

    If you transcoded to ProRes you shouldn't be waiting hours for an export.  Unless your timeline is hours in duration.  As you're working at a post house you probably know all of this, but here are a couple of tips I can think of right now that could speed things up:
    1) Only one frame rate on a timeline.
    2) Minimize the number of filters on a clip.
    3) Export to a drive that is not the drive your media is on.  Perhaps you have a media drive and a completed projects drive.  Of course both should be internal SATA, eSATA, Firewire, Lightpeak, or perhaps a proprietary connection to a RAID card.  No USB.  If you aren't needing to have a lot of data on your media drive or your export drive consider a faster (but smaller) solid state drive.
    4) Use the Batch Export function.  Queue everything up and have Final Cut exporting a few sequences during lunch or when you leave at night.
    5) Make sure autorender is on.  Leave Final Cut open at night and it will autorender all open sequences.  If you have several filters on your clips the computer will work on it overnight and you'll come in to a rendered sequence that should export very quickly.

  • I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard: Part II

    Hi  
    I haven't got any more replies to my post "I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard" by Krelian 2003.09.13 at 05:25. Please help! I've been struggling with this for a LONG time. And now my computer won't boot at all! Sometimes the LED's in front of the computer lights up for half a second, and nothing more happens. The only sign of life is the green light in the LAN jack. It happened after I took the ide cable for my harddrive in and out of the mainboard. This is insane, how can that suddeny happen :O ?! I was asked by wonkanoby to post max amps for my PSU, I did, and I really need to know if I maybe need a new PSU, since he asked that. Can a new PSU solve all the problems mentioned in my previous posts? Everything was fine except that I couldn't get into Windows, before i tried another harddrive on my computer. How can that complicate things so much? I have tried going barebone, and taking out the cmos battery and setting the jumpers JBAT1, J10 and J11. I have also tried every suggestion I got. Please help! I really need to get this fixed!

    Some power supplies or designed so that if there is a short or overload they shut them selfs off and some will not turn back on. Some have a relay that will click back on and work, some you have to  cycle the power switch. Those that won't come back on will have to be replaced. I'm not saying that yours is that type as I have no way of telling. But if you have a friend who will loan you a good power supply you might try it. As someone else said just turning off the power will not darn all the power from some motherboards. To test this turn off your power supply than turn on the computer with the start botton. Mine will flash the lights and fans will start to spin than die. So every time you turn off computer to work on it. After turning off PSU hit the start botton to drian any power left in it before working on it. Also do this after unplugging it just to make sure.

  • LOst my Adobe Download Manager - big trouble

    I'm having big troubles.
    I tried to upload to the newest Reader, but I was in Firefox AND IT COMPLETELY MESSED UP THE DOWNLOAD.
    The more I tried to fix it, the more messed up it became.
    Now I lost the Download Manager and can't get ANYTHING to download to my computer -- let alone fix this mess.
    Any advice anyone?
    Thanks,
    K.

    Thank you Pat,
    The Windows Installer downloaded and installed without problem.
    In it, I have nothing about Adobe Reader or Adobe Download manager.
    I do , however, have:
    Acrobat.com
    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Media Player
    When I tried to launch
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/enu/AdbeRdr910_en_US.exe,
    I got the following error message (without the quotation marks):
    "C:\DOCUME1\owner\LOCALS1\Temp\DMkBq8sP.exe.part could not be saved,
    because the source file could not be read.
    Try again later, or contact the server administrator."
    I did not, of course attempt Step 3.
    Any more suggestions? Should I remove the three I mentioned above?

  • Big Trouble Starting iBook Up!

    Hello there, I am having big trouble with my laptop. Here is the story:
    Alright, I have two accounts on my laptop. One was the one a usually used and the other was for help with the FileVault problem I was having. I was running a disk cleaning application and a decided I would delete my .sparseimage on the other account. I had fast user switching enabled, so I clicked my other account. In the process of switching over, there is a blue screen - the screen that appears when the computer is loading a user/account. That blue screen never went away. I restarted the computer by pressing the start button for 5 seconds.
    Now, when the computer turns on, it will load and even display the "Mac OSX is loading" screen. As soon as it loads all the way, it will go back to the blue screen and not do anything. What is also weird is that on the blue screen, the screen will change back between blue and black (black with white lettering - like when you are in "Single User Mode"). On this black screen, which only stays on for about a second. says something like "My-Name-iBookG4 getty: The operation can not be performed on the drive". Replace "My-name" with my real name - I do not want to share that across the internet .The wording is not word for word, I am at another location where I do not have my laptop with me. When I get home, I will reply to this and give the exact wording. The blue screen will be on for 10 seconds, and then the black screen will go for about 1 second, it keeps repeating. Me and another mac expert worked for about an hour in single user mode trying to fix it over the phone. We just could not do it. Later, I used Disk Utility from the mac start up disk and verified and repaired the disk. That still did not work. Is there any other way to fix this? Is there another application I can try using with the mac instal cd? My absolutely last resort would be to erase the disk and re install. I will do that after a long amount of searching for fixes. Thanks a ton for your help!

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.
