Is it possible to include Javascript so that my pdf will automatically print?

We are currently evaluating new ways to deliver our documents to end users.
Currently, we have a 3rd part library that enables us to create pdf documents from our web pages, and then open them up in a new tab. However, users being what they are, some don't print the pdf out or save it.
I know I can force a Web page to automatically print using some very simple Javascript, and I can see that I can embed javascript into forms and documents. But before I spend any significant time getting the free trial of acrobat to do a trial, and then have to persuade the powers that be here that we need to buy a license for acrobat, I want to make sure that this is feasible, and I am not wasting my time!

Thanks, (My fault, as I should have specified this.) Due to legacy reasons I need to use ie, and so I can't use the PrintPdf firefox plugin. So from reading the rest of that thread, the best method does seem to be to get hold of a copy of acrobat, and add a Print() script in each file, and open it in a new tab.
At least it gives me somethigin to try anyway :-)

downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

This solved my question by mcbuffy on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM
There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
If it works you can empty the trash.

Possible to include merge fields with exported PDF?

Hello,
I have only a simple question - is it possible to include data merge fields when exporting to pdf?
Using InDesign CS2, we are doing a direct mailing campaign and having the printing outsourced. It is a 4 page document with only page 1 personalised - sending to over 1,500 recipients.
The printer says he doesn't want our indesign file, he just wants us to create the 4 page indesign document, prepare the data merge fields, export to pdf and then send it to him.
He says he'll then import it back into his own indesign one he gets this pdf and do the merge himself with the excel .csv file we provide.
Does this sound about right? If so, how can I ensure the pdf is correct to send over?
I have managed to get the data merge fields to be clickable like links in the exported PDF by including 'hyperlinks' and 'interactive elements' when exporting - but is this correct?
Thank you in advance for all your help...

The printer is right that he can use your pdf. It is ok to place a pdf into InDesign. It might fit into his workflows and experience to do this work so.
I would recommend to use a PDF/X4 with bleed as the printer requieres to place into an INDD file. But you should communicate with your printer how he wants it.

Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

Afternoon all,
I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel. PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions. This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

Since updating to the new version the work web page that i use will only print 2 pages even if there are more. I can not get it to print all the pages in the document.

for instance....I have a documents that has 6 pages, I can scroll down and see all the pages but when i hit the print button it will only print 2 pages. I tried to change it in the setting part but there is no feature that allows you to change it.

For many years, Firefox has problems printing when some style rules are used. However, I am not aware of any changes for the worse in Fx4 (at least, until now I wasn't aware of any).
A couple of thoughts:
(1) Is it possible you were using an add-on in Fx3.6 that fixed this problem, but the add-on was disabled during the upgrade because it wasn't compatible? (Sometimes that can be fixed with a little hack.)
(2) Are there any obvious settings differences that could be affecting printing, such as fonts, margins, or shrink-to-fit/percentage?
(3) Does the workaround of selecting the entire page (Ctrl+a) and then choosing Selection under Print range in the Print dialog work? Unfortunately, this can slice through lines and images, but it often works around problems with style rules.
In the interest of saving paper, it often is useful to experiment with a PDF printer driver. If you don't have pdfFactory, you can install a trial version for testing: it lets you view the results without first having to save the file. (If you save with the trial version, there is a footer to that effect.)
(4) Is it an HTML5 problem? You can toggle the HTML5 parser off, but this is a global setting, not site-specific. If you are familiar with about:config, filter on html5 and double click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle its value from true to false. This helps for some sites, but has no effect on others.

JavaScript help Including JavaScript in a .js File Referenced by the Page

I need help with JavaScript. I have been doing the Advanced Tutorial, and still don't feel that understand how to make it work.
The example in "Oracle Database Application Express User's Guide" shows this line:
<script src="http://myserver.myport/my_images/custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I understand that "my_images" is hypothetical, but where is the real equivalent to this?
Is there a working example/tutorial of Including JavaScript?
<li />Also how does one create AJAX functionality?
If I want to do something like this http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_server.asp
in APEX, where do I place the "time.asp" script?
<li />Can we assume that the HTML and ASP file are in the same directory?
Please any assistance with these topics are greatly appreciated.

Hello,
>> what is the directory structure you would use for /my_images/custom.js? Where does one load these .js files? where is it in the local machine?
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db\Apache ?
The documentation only gives you a possible example (and I might agree that it’s not the best one). You should put your external JS files (on the server OS file system) wherever it will be most accessible and maintainable for you. The best place, IMHO, is under the /images/javascript/ directory. The reason is very simple. You can use the alias /i/, which defined in your DAD file, to gain a very simple path to the file. In this case, the loading statement will look similar to the following:
<script src="/i/javascript/custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
>> Do you mean "Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages/Types and htp packages?"
I’m assuming you are talking about the on-demand process. This is a regular PL/SQL anonymous block, which will be fired only upon specific request - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/bldr.htm#BABEAIIE . This is the mechanism for handling the server side of AJAX.
>>Anythig else available for us to levarage?
Denes examples site can also be a valuable resource - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1 .

"Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect? URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js". other posters with a xajax error on this board got the response to go look for developer resources. (i'm not a developer)

I'm on a mac running 10.6.8, was using Firefox 6.02 when the problem started, i performed a clean install of 7.01, installed the latest Flashplayer, and reinstalled java (the 10.6.5 update file from apple's site).
I seem able to load video at youtube.com, and was able to load web-based irc chatrooms at ircchat.tv. however, at jamplay.com a paid member site, all of the lessons are flash video, and there's a live video feed chat room that is also flash based, and I am not able to view this content. the video content pops up the error message "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect?
URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js" and the clicking on the "launch chatroom" button does exactly nothing.
I have contacted the jamplay site team but their recommendations are the steps I have already taken, mentioned above, that did not resolve the issue.
some links to content on their site visible without being a member:
http://www.jamplay.com/
this one has a flash interface that, if things were working, would have a video in the center and members and staff talking abouth that area of the site when you click on one of the title buttons. Now that I am having this problem, nothing is clickable and there's no indication that there should be a video in the center. The error message regarding xajax does not come up at all.
http://www.jamplay.com/guitar-lessons/beginners/1/527-16-circle-of-fifths
same thing. video content is missing, xajax error does not appear.
http://www.jamplay.com/live
when I load these all content except the video loads on the page. this page does not give me the error at all, just does not load the video
I can't seem to recreate the actual error without being logged in as a member of the site.
The apple support team gave me a one-time free suppport ticket to troubleshoot an ethernet issue I was having. Unfortunately, the databases I removed were not deemed either by apple or me to be noteworthy or necessary to retain (all of them were for software I not longer have or use). I don't know which plist file might have been the one I need now. I did reinstall the java and flash items. The only other item that I think it might be is a set of belkin router software that I uninstalled because i'm not using any belkin hardware anymore.
If someone has any kind of idea I would be most appreciative.

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence?

I have created a custom TestStand operator interface and have modified the default sequential process model to display a UUT information dialog that prompts for more information than just the UUT serial number. This UUT information dialog is a LabVIEW VI. To distribute the operator interface, I build it into an executable. As part of the build process, I make a copy of the UUT information dialog VI (which is part of my operator interface project) and place it in the same folder as the executable. I have then configured the sequential process model to call the dialog VI from this location. It would be really nice if I could embed the UUT information dialog VI inside the operator interface executable so that I could distribute just an executable instead of an executable and separate VIs. Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence just like a standard LabVIEW VI call?

Ryan,
The dialog that you've created isn't being directly called by the OI at all and shouldn't need to be included in the same directory as the OI for distribution. Since you are modifying the PreUUT of the default process model, you will give the path to the VI in that step, create a deployment and then manually copy the VI to the directory referenced in the step. The VI is considered a support file for the process model and is not related to the OI at all.

Generic service 'Analysis Services (TEST1)' could not be brought online (with error '1060') during an attempt to open the service. Possible causes include: the service is either not installed or the specified service name is invalid.

Hi,
We have a cluster with 2 nodes. Everything works fine in Node1. When I try to failover TEST1 database to Node-2 it fails with this message.
Generic service 'Analysis Services (TEST1)' could not be brought online (with error '1060') during an attempt to open the service. Possible causes include: the service is either not installed or the specified service name is invalid.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
The error message is pretty straight forward, it's saying either the service isn't installed or it's not installed as the same service on that node. Did you install analysis services on the second node (from the error it seems like it isn't)?

Please advise: if it's possible to include a table control in step loop

Dear Gurus,
Currently, our user want to output a result list after calling BAPI: BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE.
Because this BAPI could create multiple invoices, and the result is asked to be displayed in a special format (both header information and item information). I just think if it is possible that make the header(text boxes) and item (table control ) in to a step loop.
Could you please kindly advise?
Thanks & Regards

Dear all,
As I tried, it is not possible to include table control or subscreen area in the step loop.

How to include JavaScript in a list instance's form in Visual Studio

So I know you can use JSLink to include JavaScript files in list definitions in Schema.<g class="gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="8" id="8">xml</g> like so:
<Form Type="DisplayForm" Url="DispForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" JSLink="~site/SiteAssets/Scripts/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" />
But how can I do this with a list instance that I'm provisioning that's based on the tasks list definition? Is there somewhere I can include JSLink in the instance's Elements.xml?

If you would have your own custom list definition, you could deploy a custom form for your list instance, and set the JSLink element of the Form. You cannot set it "globally" for the list, only per form.
If your list instance is based on a built-in list instance (like Tasks in your case) you should set the JSLink property from code. If you would like to deploy the list instance and set the JSLink property from a .wsp package, you should lookup the list form
and set this property from a feature receiver. If you already created / deployed the list instance, the simplest method is to set the property via PowerShell. See the code samples for PowerShell and C# in this thread.

Is it possible to include items and portlets in an unstructured UI template

Is it possible to include items and portlets in an unstructured UI template. The solution which we are working on requires to have the following dynamic entities as part of the unstructured UI template

Hello Matt,
Thank you for the reply to my email menu question.
I have a couple of things that have been bouncing around in my head that maybe you could answer for me:
1. I see where I have a free site to promote web hosting, of which I selected the site name as NewtonBridgeAdv.... Will this site allow me to fully integrate it into the web with my design, e-commerce, email marketing, as this site NewtonBridgeAdv.com? I currently have NewtonBridgeAdv listed on http://www.thruadoor.com/advertising-agency.html but would like to move it to a more complete site.
2. I see where SuperSupportTeam.com is expiring on 14, June 2014. This site was cancelled as WebMarketing a few weeks ago (but still current with the payment) and is now set up as one of the five basic sites. The payment was not refunded for this months web marketing so maybe this is what it is referring to. I don't know. I wanted the credit applied to an upgrade to E-Commercee on thruAdoor.com. However, I was not granted the refund.
3. I thought I had viewed a sales commission on the Portal credited to the current site hosting, but now the account is empty. How do I warrant a commission for any sites that I may host on BC?
4. I may not understand what some of the BC team members have said about my current site thruAdoor.com in that it is not set up properly or not linked properly with BC. I don't know what they are talking about. Can you help?
Thanks,
