IWork/iLife? Can I build a searchable database with PDF doclinks on my Mac

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to scan a library of PDF documents, where I can populate keywords into a searchable database with link(s) for every result back to the pdf file that pertains.
I don't see that capability in any of the software packages but maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out how to scan a library of PDF documents, where I can populate keywords into a searchable database with link(s) for every result back to the pdf file that pertains.
If your PDF documents are themselves non-searchable, whether because the glyphs were turned into bitmaps in a PS driver or because you scanned printed pages, then you are concerned with the metadata in PDF and not with the content stream in PDF.
If you are concerned with the content stream in PDF, you need to think about how you generate the PDF that you populate your database with. As of 2002, the Adobe liason to the Unicode Consortium was not aware of any PDF implementation that worked the way it should.
That is, if the source character string cannot by implicitly synthesised from the glyph identifiers in the glyph run, then explicitly embed the source character string into the content stream of the PDF. In other words, searching is not guaranteed except perhaps with Adobe InDesign CS2 and CS3.
Anything generated from a PostScript stream in Adobe Acrobat Distiller is not guaranteed to be searchable, and nothing generated in Apple Mac OS X up to and including the present dot release is guaranteed to be searchable.

How can I compact a MSAccess database with java?

Hi.
I have a question (Please Help!!!):
How can I compact a MSAccess database with java-jdbc? Is it posible?
Thanks

MS Access database has a max length limitation of 2.14GB for Access 2000( 1.07G for Access 97), and won't recycle basically space for update/delete sql so tha it's a good idea to use MS Access database for program, which need update/delete frequent ly data. The programmers of HXTT Access(www.hxtt.net) are writing code for CREATE TABLE/DATABASE sql now. If you need a pure Java solution for PACK TABLE/DATABSE urgently in your project, you should send such a requirement to the Support page of www.hxtt.net so that they can schedule complementing such a fucntion. Otherwise, you should pack your databae manually or visit C++ code for Compact an Access Database Programmatically at
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/data/mfc_database/microsoftaccess/article.php/c4327/ , or use Easy Microsoft Access MDB MDE Compactor at http://www.easyhr.com.au/software/easy_mdb_mde_compactor.htm.

Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB?

Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB? If not, will this be possible in the future?
I realize HTML DB is not an open-source product. However, it is necessary sometimes to get non-Oracle database info. JDeveloper supports this. It does not appear to me that HTML DB does. This is a major drawback to it being a product for more potential applications that rely on other database technology such as MySQL, etc.
If it is possible, is this brain surgery to do it. HTML DB offers fast simplified development and it would be good if it was built in. Does anyone know of an example of accessing non-Oracle database that is available?

12282,
In general, HTML DB gives you access to Oracle database facilities. These include heterogeneous services. Please search this forum for keyword "heterogeneous" and you can follow the threads that interest you.
As for the comparison with brain surgery, I'd rank them about the same in terms of raw thrill.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

Can I use two different database with DBSystemLoginModule?

Finally I can login with Database user id by DBSystemLoginModule on Embedded oc4j server.
But I confused between [b]jazn-data.xml and system-jazn-data.xml.
Which xml do I have to edit for jdbcUrl and jdbcDriver?
Now I would like to use two different database(such as only sid is different).
In this case I want to show specific database name as realm name.
What should I do?
When I use DBSystemLoginModule, I edit JdbcUrl in system-jazn-data.xml.
So can I pass the parameter for sid programmatically?
And also I tried to run my application with other database with DBSystemLoginModule on Embedded oc4j server.
I changed few things(jdbcUrl at system-jazn-data.xml,jazn-data.xml in embedded-oc4j-server/config and database connection for BusinessComponents at Project Properties of Model/ViewController.
But I got some error.
Did I miss something?

I think I understand now, you are modifing the custom login modules configuration within the system-jazn-data.xml file. This is a bit dangerous! Didn't you register the login module in your orion-application.xml? For example, this is the way I do it:
<web-module id="customProv-web" path="customProv-web.war" />
<persistence path="persistence" />

<security-role-mapping name="sr_developer">
<group name="developers" />
</security-role-mapping>
<security-role-mapping name="sr_manager">
<group name="managers" />
</security-role-mapping>
<jazn provider="XML">
<property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true"/>
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true"/>
<property name="role.compare.ignorecase" value="true"/>
</jazn>

Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

Can iWeb accommodate a searchable database?

I'm working on an iWeb site for a community directory, and I'd like to include about 4,000 names and phone numbers that visitors can look up by simply typing a name in a search window.
I can do this kind of thing easily on my computer, using a table utility in word processing applications. But I don't know how to accomplish this on a website. I'm too busy and too old to learn another foreign language like html.
As a temporary measure, I can copy columns of text from my print version of the local directory and paste it into iWeb. However, that seems to convert the text into image files with handles for sizing. When I increase the image size enough to be readable, the handles end up way off the page. Moreover, it's going to require a lot of pages and a lot of scrolling to access 4,000 names and phone numbers. I hope there's a better way.
The address for my site is:
www.pinetreearts.com.
Thanks for any and all comments and suggestions.
P.S.: Can someone explain how to make my website address and active link in these forums? Thanks.

Hi again, QT Kirk -- Sorry for the delay.
Except for a question regarding non-Mac browsers, I think you've solved my problem with truly elegant simplicity!
After converting my Word tables to text files, I just dragged the document icon onto a blank page in iWeb and, much to my surprise, iWeb absorbed the entire contents! It takes a couple of minutes for this page to build, but when it's done, it's all there — 4,000-plus names and phone numbers.
(I have to do some tedious formatting work on the document off-line, but even the raw version is usable.)
I just hadn't been able to visualize how 50-plus pages of text would fit on one page in iWeb at readable size. Evidently, it's like the old scrolls of ancient times, and visitors can just keep on scrolling and scrolling until they find the name they want or — better yet — use the Command-F shortcut you described.
The one question remaining concerns Microsoft browsers, which are used by most of our local community. I have the Mac version of Internet Explorer (which remains undeveloped since version 5.x or whatever), and its Command-F function fails to search the entire document. It can search only as far as the names that are visible on the screen. Beyond that, it delivers nothing but a blank page.
Newer versions of IE for Windows may work better; I don't know. Otherwise I can advise our visitors to download a different browser, such as Firefox, that works across platforms. (I presume Apple does not offer a Windows version of Safari — or do they?)
QT Kirk, your straightforward solutions have bypassed all kinds of costly and complicated approaches suggested by other so-called experts. You are a genius. Thank you, thank you!

How can I build mobile application , connect with database and can show its working by simulator

Dear, I want to build mobile application.
Actually, my application has 2 parts. one is webbased application.
Second part is mobile bases.
instructor will take interview of the students. he will enters marks by mobile and then by using BT, it will be sent to webbased part and saved in mysql database.

Actually, the mobile part of your question is irrelevant to the central issue of building an application that will allow:
1. Collecting information from a student
2. Entering that information into a database
To do this, you would build a form page that allows you to input the desired information. When that form is submitted, validate the information and enter it into a database.
Once you have this working, format the form page so that it displays well on mobile devices.
To use this you would browse to the form page on your mobile device browser, input the information, and submit it.
Is that what you want?

Can i build in-store app with remote includes?

Before we buy our licence, i just want to confirm that we can build our in-app library and store pages (for the Apple App Store) as a very basic index page with a bunch of remote hosted includes that build the page? am i understanding the documentation correctly? is this possible? is it good practice?
(we are trying to avoid doing app updates for changes we make to store page/s)
any input appreciated.
Thanks, V

Yes, your custom store/library can be just an index.html which has references to all your code.js on your remote server. Whatever changes you perform will be automatically updated in the store/library whenever it re-loads, and that's what DPS recommends too

I CanÂ´t Connect in my DataBase with JDBC

I Can´t connect in my data base using JDBC 2.0 with Oracle 8i. When i try connect, the following error occurs:
Exceção de E/S: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135294976)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))

The database sid used in the connect url might be invalid. Check if the database sid is correct.

How can I build a Web App with Component Combination

I learned OpenUI 5 for a while, since it's open source version release. It's really a great web front-end framework!
Now I'm working on a little web app. I design it start from a root module. And I wanna make any other view modules as a stand-alone package. (e.g. Something like Widgets can be make as a Component, and I can instance it anywhere I want). From learning of OpenUI, I think Component should be a good choice for my web app module.
But there is some trouble. When I make two Component with a parent-child relationship.Once the child Compont's router execute navTo method, the hash will be replace but not append. And the parent Component will be changed too.
The question is : how to design the route pattern can make the parent-child Components works both fine? Andreas Kunz

Hi Siqi,
currently there is no Child/parent relationship build in the framework, but you could do it.
All your child component need is the first part of the pattern from the parent component, you have to pass this one to the child component, and then create the routes dynamically:
parentPattern + "/myChildComponent"
Then the parent and the child will both react correctly on a hashchange.
Best Regards,
Tobias

Can I build a photo uploader with Flex?

Hi,
I am looking into Flex as a possible platform to build a new
photo website. I know that many of my requirements fit great with
the flex/flash platform. But one specific issue is to build an
easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy photo uploader which feels like
Flickr/Picasa and can manage picking 100s of files/folders. That
means I need:
1 - local read access to the filesystem to browse JPGs for
upload
2 - local write access to add EXIF keywords to selected JPGs
(i.e. uploaded tag)
3 - network access to upload to my website
For the absolute simplest user experience, I think I need to
run in a local-trusted sandbox, an SWF downloaded and configured by
an installer. I think that will get me 1 and 3. But I think 2 is a
problem - am I limited to only writing local shared objects to the
filesystem?
If this is so, is there a workaround for this? For example,
can I call a local executable to write the EXIF data to JPG, or can
I use the Flex/AJAX bridge to expose my SWF to javascript and
somehow use that to write the EXIF data?
Also, can someone point me in the right direction to
understand how to write an installer that will configure a
local-trusted SWF?
Thanks,
m.

Sorry, no. That feature is not supported in iPhoto for iOS.

Can I build a GUI application with SWING only without [import java.awt.*;]

I have seen several threads (in forums), books and tutorials about SWING and I see that they all mix SWING with AWT (I mean they import both Swing and AWT in their code).
The conclusion that comes out is:
It is good to learn about SWING and forget AWT as it won't be supported later. I have decided to do so, and I never include <<import java.awt.*;>> in my code.
But I see that you cannot do much without <<import java.awt.*;>>. For example this line which changes the background color:
<<frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.red)>>
works only with <<import java.awt.*;>>. I have seen that codes in this and other forums import awt to change the background. Why is that?
After all, I wonder, what can I do;
My question is, can I change the background (and of course do all other things listener, buttons etc) without using <<import java.awt.*;>>.
I would like to avoid using <<import java.awt.*;>> and using awt since my program will not work later.
In addition, I believe there is no point to learn awt, which later will not exist.
I know, I must have misunderstood something. I would appreceate it very much, if anyone could give me even a short answer.
Thank you in advance,
JMelsi

Since swing is a layer on top of awt, AWT will exist for as long as swing does.
If sun does ever remove AWT they will have to replace it something else swing can layer on to and you will probably only have to replace your import statements.
The main difference is the way there drawn to the screen.
You can do custom drawing on swing components but you can't on AWT.
If your using a desktop PC system it's probably best to use swing just in case you wish to do some custom drawing.
awt uses less memory than swing and is faster but swing can be extended. awt comes only as standard.
Say for example you wish to implement a JButton with a ProgressBar below the button text, this can be done with swing!
