Link to setup calendar subscription from web page or app?

I have a web site that generates ical files (.ics). I'd like to put a link on a page that the user can click on which would launch the
Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Add Account->Other->Add Subscribed Calendar
area with the Server url pre-populated with the url to our site's ical file. I could obviously just post instructions for the user to follow for adding the subscribed calendar, but it would be much simpler if I could just launch that directly from a link or button.
Is anything like this possible to do on a website? If not, can it be done if I write an iPhone/iPad app?

I would suggest posting this in the iPhone Developers Forum.

How keep track of caller from web page or app in your EJB

I want to make a Security Handler for my EJB Server. I want apps / users to be able to log in. However, after they log in (for example from a web page), how do I keep track of who they are when they then make subsequent calls to EJBs?
Where can I find out who they are?
How do I standardize this for apps and web page callers?
I know that for web servers to keep track of who the caller is for them, they need to store a handle on the client. Do I need to do this too?
If I do keep smth on the client side that they send back/forth to me, does that not fit with the EJB standards?

still unable to find answer. Hey, can I also ask: do I ask too obscure questions? I don't get most of them answered. Are they boring?

How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?

In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.

This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
THanks

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
topic/subject.html - Subject page
.....etc
Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1 was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Topic N Contents
Subject 1 of Topic N
Subject 2 of Topic N
Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Topic 2 Contents
Topic N Contents
Main Topic Contents (a second time)
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Subject N of Topic 1
Subject 1 of Topic 2
Subject 2 of Topic 2
Subject N of Topic N
Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
Be well...

I am no longer able to open or download most PDFs from web pages. I have the pop-up blocker turned off in Preferences.

In recent months I have found that I am unable to download or open PDF documents from web pages. Download links either open a blank page in a new tab or do nothing. PDFs that I am unable to view in Firefox can be viewed and/or downloaded in Safari most of the time and Chrome all of the time so I assume the problem is not my computer or operating system. I recently turned off the pop-up blocker but that did not make a difference. The problem has worsened over the past couple months, it appears that more and more web sites are moving to a different protocol for viewing/downloading PDFs. It used to happen occasionally but now I find that I am unable to view a majority - about 75% - of PDFs. I am using Firefox v18 for Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

hello ahegarty, you could try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] addon, for more details also see [[PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on Mac]].

How to Share an iCloud Calendar as a web page viewable by public?

Hi,
I need to give various (ie non apple) people access to some of my Calendars as a Web Page that they can view.
I can see that I can share a webcal: link but this is not what I want as I can't rely on other people having a Calendar app to use to Subscribe to this - I need to be able just send people a link to a Web Hosted Calendar.
It does not look like you can just share a web view of your iCloud Calendar to the public - which seems to me to be the nicest option so I guess it may involve syncing your iCloud Calendar with a Google account calendar and then sharing this Google Calendar publicly...
Any ideas appreciated
Gary

In order to do this you need to be able to upload your calendar to a CalDAV server: unfortunately these are thin on the ground. Apple rather assume that you are going to run your own server, but I can't imagine you want to get into that.
Box.net were claiming that they offered this service, but there were complaints that it didn't work. I don't know about any others - I can only suggest you try Googling for CalDAV servers.
Otherwise it's a matter of sharing the calendar publicly and people having to subscribe - they can do this in iCal on a Mac - I don't know about Outlook on a PC but I would have thought it was possible.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

Safari has become unusable—it freezes, links are unclickable, then I get "Web pages are not responding..."
Safari has been my favorite browser for a long time. Nothing against the others but I have found it faster and better. Now I can really no longer use it. This has been going on and getting worse for atr least few weeks. Anyone know why?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

"Create PDF from Web Page" Yields Authorization Failure

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended running on Windows XP Service Pack 3:
When using "Create PDF from Web Page," certain linked pages result in an "Authorization Failure" error message. Is there any way to instruct Acrobat to disregard pages that are not downloadable and continue creating the PDF?

I am having the same issue AND none of my pages or files require a UserID or Password. My issue appears to be something with the domain because a and b work just fine and produce a PDF file while item c does not work and produces the error msg.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.

Create PDF From Web Page Does Not Create Image Maps Properly

I have a website that contains image maps. When I "Create PDF From Web Page", these image maps are not rendered properly. From what I can tell, this is a BUG within Acrobat, and I'm hoping that people can confirm this for me.
I created a test page at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/. I placed the images maps my manually coding the coordinate information, so the maps are PRECISELY placed exactly over the squares. Each image map navigates to an anchor corrisponding to the number on the red square.
When I created the PDF using the "Create PDF From Web Page" feature, the image maps are rendered improperly. This file can be viewed at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest.pdf. To view the outlines of the image maps, please select "Tools" -> "Advanced Editing" -> "Link Tool". You can see the outlines are substantially incorrect.
Please confirm that other can replicate this problem. Any solution to this issue would be very helpful!

I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs
http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest-AcrobatX.pdf
This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files

Automize Create a PDF From Web Page

I am trying to create PDF's from a list of 100+ web pages / URLs.
I would like to automize the process as to save me time.
(I have been doing some research but I am a newbie when it comes to programing / scripting / coding)
My questions are
1) Is it possible to write a script to execute Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page option in order to automize a long list of URLs?
Something along the lines of .bat file (reading something like)
acrobat.exe "http://www.google.com" "%CD%\GoogleTest.pfd"
acrobat.exe "http://www.yahoo.com" "%CD%\YahooTest.pdf"
2) If it is possible to script / automize Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page can you lead me to the right direction as to what programs I need to write a script (if any) and any examples of how the script would be written would be extremely helpful
Thank you for your time

You can post your question in the forum for Acrobat Scripting or Acrobat SDK.

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

What does that error message say?
