Including pdf on page

I am new to Mac and to website design/development. I am a writer, photojournalist and author. On one of my pages I would like to include a pdf file that is a 3-page feature article that I wrote and photographed. When editors visit the site, I would like them to click on the link and VOILA!, the 3-page document will open in a pdf file on their computer.
I dragged the pdf onto the page and a graphic representation is now there. But, when I go to the website and click on it, the wheel spins and spins for ages and nothing happens.
Can someone give me a clue as to what to do?
Feel free to visit my site, which is:

Thanks so much.

Here's how I did it:
1 - opened the original pdf in Preview and and for each page did a Save As. Selected the format as jpg and the quality level in the middle - medium. I did that for each page in the pdf.
2 - If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you can clean up the overall tint of the page with the appropriate tools. Or you can import them into iPhoto and use the Temperature, Saturation, Tint, Exposure and Levels sliders in the Adjust pane. It'll take a little fiddling around to get most of the tint out and keep the colors pretty good. I used Photoshop's Levels tool and it's white eyedropper tool.
3 - When you have the individual pages cleaned up save them to a new file with a pixel width dimension of about 1000 pixels (for viewing). That will reduce the size considerably and keep it at a good viewing size.
4 - download and launch the freeware application Combine PDFs 2.
5 - drag each jpg page into the open Combine PDFs window and put them in order.
6 - Add the title, Author information and then click the Merge PDFs button.
That's about it. If you don't have an advanced image editor and expect to need one Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac is a very good choice. It has about 80% of Photoshop's capabilities at about 13% of the price, around $90 or less. It even comes bundled with most of Canon's scanners.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Server Side Includes with .irpt pages

I am intrested in using server side includes within my .irpt pages for example
<!#INCLUDE FILE="file.inc">
specifically inside of my applet tags to reference a standard set of parameters that I would like to be passed into my display templates. Does xMII have a similar representation of server side includes for .irpt pages?

It might make your head explode, but in a good way...
Also, you'll need 11.5 or newer to run this. There are so incredibly many opportunities that this might open up for you to deliver not only static, but also dynamic embedded server-side content.
There are many aspects of xMII that are largely untapped. A few common ones are the ability of the Runner servlet (which invokes xMII BLS transactions) to stream virtually any type of content back to the requestor (XML, HTML, text, images, PDFs, Excel, whatever).
The other feature that not too many people use is the ability to use an xMII BLS transaction as a "stylesheet".
Lastly, there is the little-known "<SERVLET>" tag that can be used in IRPT pages.
Put all these pieces together, and amazing things can be done. The example I'm going to show you uses a BLS transaction, but it can also be done with an XSL stylesheet (if the desired included HTML is static). But let's go for the cool approach...
Let's assume you have some "stuff", such HTML page content, that you want included in a specific position on your web page. Let's also assume that this "stuff" resides in a file accessible at http://localhost/MyInclude.html (the file extension doesn't really matter).
Create a new BLS transaction with no inputs and an output of type String (the name of the output doesn't matter - but in our case, let's assume you name it HTMLOutput). To workaround a cosmetic bug (which will be fixed in a future patch), you should also create a second output (doesn't matter what name or type) - so add one called "DummyOutput" of type String. Not worth explaining why - just do it.
Next, add either a TextLoader or HTMLLoader action (in the Web group) to your transaction (they both do the same thing, actually - just different icons). In the Output links tab, assign the StringContent of the loader action to the transaction output. This basically accomplishes the loading and streaming of your included "stuff".
Save this transaction. Let's save it in a folder called CoolStuff, with the name IncludeTest.
In your IRPT page, add the following code where you want the "stuff" to appear.
<SERVLET NAME="Illuminator">
     <param name="Stylesheet" value="xacute://CoolStuff/IncludeTest" />
     <param name="OutputParameter" value="HTMLOutput" />
     <param name="Output-Content-Type" value="text/html" />
     <param name="Content-Type" value="text/html" />
</SERVLET>
Save the IRPT page, load it, and you're in business!
You can probably already start to envision to possibilities for adding more sophisticated business logic to create "dynamically" embedded content in your IRPT pages...
Best regards,
Rick

Include .PDF file in JSP

Am I able to include .pdf file in a .jsp page? If it is yes, how to do it?

Not directly, no.
You use HTML to include it as a seperate html frame/iframe, but nothing specific to JSP will help here.

PDF with page curl effect

Hi,
I understand that Indesign can produce pdf with page curl effect. what if I only have a pdf file and i want to include the page curl effect? anybody knows what's the quickest way to do this? Is there any way to import multiple pdf pages into Indesign CS5 so that i can republish it from Indesign CS5? or is there any third party software that can do this easily?
thanks in advance

You understand wrong -- the Page Curl is NOT available for exporting to PDF.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSE9637270-6B1C-4287-A97B-0EC73859A3EB.html -- it says "(SWF only)". (Doesn't it also say that in the Transition options dialog?)
With that out of the way,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
what if I only have a pdf file and i want to include the page curl effect?
See above.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
anybody knows what's the quickest way to do this?
See above.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Is there any way to import multiple pdf pages into Indesign CS5 so that i can republish it from Indesign CS5? or is there any third party software that can do this easily?
Sure. Search for "Scott Zanelli's PDF Import script".
(... If all you wanted was to get that nice page curl in your PDF, you probably stopped reading already.)

How to include a jsp page in another jsp jsp page

hi,
i m trying to include a jsp page name "header.jsp" into one jsp page name"selectattribute.jsp" i m using these commands in "selectattribute.jsp"
<%@include file "header.jsp"%> bcz both these jsp page are C:\program files\tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\jsp\Poject\
but the problem is that , i m invoking this jsp page "selectattribute.jsp" from a servlet reportcontroller.java using REQUEST DISPATCHER.
the servlet is in
C:\Program files\tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\Project\
i want to know how to include some other jsp page in a jsp page and how to invoke applet from jsp page when that particular jsp page is being invoked by servlet.
plz help

use this for including in your selectattribute.jsp

I never tried calling an applet. I think you can write the code for calling the applet in a javabean method and call the method in the jsp

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

Two finger "back" of "forward" swipe in Safari won't work on PDF web pages.

This is a problem that carries forward from OSX 10.6 when using the swipe gesture on the magic mouse for browsing "back" and "forward" in Safari. It now continues with the mouse and on the track pad in 10.7. When viewing PDF web pages the 'back" and "forward" swipe gestures work only sometimes, and when they do work, it requires a much faster swipe. There are no issues associated with clicking on the back and forward buttons at the top left corner of Safari, so this appear to be isolated to gestures. Is there any solution to correct this inconsistency?
Thanks,
Marc

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

How can I do a dynamic include of a page fragment?

I have a technical support website with a lot of simple html pages. What I want to do is hyperlink from the index page to another page, which would display these html pages as a page fragment, dynamically based on a session bean set by the hyperlink.
I basically want to do this, if it was possible:
<jsp:directive.include file="#{SessionBean1.pageToDisplay}"/>
Now the FAQ's has a topic "How can I do a dynamic include of a page fragment?", which would seem to answer my question.
But this is all it says, and it makes no sense to me. Could someone please translate? :)
"Using a page fragment file (but using instead of the usual Creator approach) will accomplish a dynamic include."

Here is 1 solution:
First add this to the jsp:root tag:
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
Then surround the page fragment directive with something like this:
                        <div style="position: absolute; left: 24px; top: 408px">
                            <c:if test="${SessionBean1.count > 0}">
                                <jsp:directive.include file="testPF.jspf"/>
                            </c:if>
                        </div>

Can't print pdf web pages

using OS 10.4.11, safari 3.1.1, and adobe professional 7.0, I find that although
I can print most web pages, I can't print a pdf web page.
any thoughts ?

where do you make that selection?
Not sure where in Acrobat Professional, but in the free Acrobat Reader, it's in Acrobat Reader menu > Preferences > (category) Internet > "Display PDF in browser using:" - uncheck the box and that should cause Safari to use it's own PDF display engine (shared with Preview).
how do I make Safari show scroll command along page side - right now I seem to have lost ability to scroll up and down web page ?
That's a puzzler - the vertical/horizontal scroll bars should always be there if the page is longer/wider than the current size of the display window... Might try posting that one in the Safari for Mac forum.
Hope this helps...

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your help

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

Include a Glossary Page in a Webi report for report documentation

Hi experts,
My client would like to include a Glossary Page at the start/end of each Webi report. This page should include documentation/explanation of each dimension detail, measure, formula, etc shown on the report.
I cannot find any designated location in the Webi report for documentation purpose. Assuming I have created this documentation in a word/html document, what is the easiest way of including this info in the Webi report?
So far I can think of 2 options:
1) Include a new report with one or more blank cells, and paste the text from the word/html document into the blank cell.
Pros: Can be printed out together with the report contents (print both reports together).
Cons: Considerable effort with creating this page
2) Include a blank cell in the original/separate report, and insert a hyperlink for this word/html document into the blank cell.
Pros: Less effort involved
Cons: Cannot be printed out together with the report contents
Besides these 2 options, are there better ways of creating the Glossary page?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Linda

We do something similiar in that users cannot create a new document. Users can only copy and edit the existing template for new reports. The template has standard headers, footers and confidentiality statements that are required on all reports.
Here are some of the standard formulas we include in the header/documentation report tab:
="Report Title: "+DocumentName()
="Run User: "+CurrentUser()
="Run Date: "+LastExecutionDate()
=If (DocumentPartiallyRefreshed();"Your document contains partial data only")
=DocumentName()
=DataProviderSQL([Query 1])
These formulas automatically fill in some of the basic data using option 1 from your list.

How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

Rishi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
After reading your post, I tried to duplicate this problem. I opened a PDF, selected a sentence, then copied it to the clipboard. I then opened Pages, selected the blank template, then pasted in the text. It pasted perfectly.
Does this problem happen with all text in a PDF? With different PDFs?

You have to call the include method of the RequestDispatcher
if(conditionl)
out.println(" welcome");
getRequestDispachter("/myJSPDir/my.jsp").include(request, response);
}
