Newby here . . . pdf download
How do you write the action script to download a pdf file in Flash.
All I see is a getURL(), would I use that action then just write the name of the pdf in the brackets?
Thank you
Yes, getURL() is the simplest approach, assuming you are using AS2. What it will do is open the pdf file in a browser window using acrobat reader. The file can be saved from the reader interface.

I created a pdf download link to a _blank page, and when I
try to download and view the pdf in IE 7, a new page comes up but
the page is blank. The pdf does not view. Can someone offer insight
to the problem? Thanks.If you're talking about the link by "Click Here to download a
PDF version of
this Recipe Style Guide" I clicked it, waited about 20
seconds, then saw
your Recipe Style Guide. It's only about 160K so it's not
that large (for
the record, I'm in a coffee shop right now with a not-so-good
connection).
It's working fine. Assuming that's what's causing you a
problem.

I bought several eBooks for Adobe PDF download. Am I able to download with the adobe program that I
I just purchased a library worth of eBook downloads from the Nonviolent Communication Academy bookstore. I chose Acrobat PDF download, but do not know how to be sure that the books have been downloaded and saved. Do I have the Adobe program necessary to contain several eBooks? Once I close the download page, I cannot have access to it again. So, now or never. There is a storm here and with my luck the electricity will go out. Please assist me.
Which Adobe application are you trying to use?

Can any SAP.LTD experts do a dynamic pdf download tutorial?
Hi,SAP experts,
I have tried to impletmente a dynmaic pdf download project ,say I have got pdf data like xstring type and try to download them at web dynpro side,but unluckly failed. Because the data I got are all dynmacly generated and could not easily used interactive form to display. So I tried to use xsting format and bin_file to transfer them to web dynpro side(Because some experts have implemented this successfully using this method),hoping that can work.But I did't get the good result. And I think this pdf download functionality without interactiveform is quite importtant to many users.So I really hope anyone of SAP.LTD can produce an official turtorial about this topic!
Thanks in advance!I think he's just asking how to do that? Not really Flex related so much as web-service, but since this is a Flex forum I'll steal code from the very Flex-related AlivePDF:
Sorry these crap forums trashed the formatting. Now, I've never done what you're talking about via a web service (not a big fan) so this may not help at all, but hopefully - do you have access to an HttpServletResponse object to stream back your data? If you do this should get you started I think. If not you may need to do some web-service specific research.
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CreatePDFServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
doGet(req, resp);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
int i = 0;
int k = 0;
int maxLength = req.getContentLength();
byte[] bytes = new byte[maxLength];
String method = req.getParameter("method");
String name = req.getParameter("name");
ServletInputStream si = req.getInputStream();
while (true)
k = si.read(bytes,i,maxLength);
i += k;
if (k <= 0)
break;
if (bytes != null)
{ //Check out this part here
ServletOutputStream stream = resp.getOutputStream();
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setContentLength(bytes.length);
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition",method + ";filename=" + name);
stream.write(bytes);
stream.flush();
stream.close();
else
resp.setContentType("text");
resp.getWriter().write("bytes is null"); -

Edited by: Praveen kumar Kadi on May 16, 2011 11:17 AMWhat I would like to do is remaster the album and prepare the artwork then place the mp3's and artwork in a folder which will then be zipped rady for download.
In the page where you want do have the download link just write "Click here to Download" or whatever, select it, open the inspector, go to the link tab, check the "Enable as a Hyperlink" Link to "A file" select the zip containing the album. Then save and the zip file gets integrated into the Domain file (where iWeb stores its files). Now, when you publish to a folder the zip file gets published into this folder too so all you have to do is link it as I said and then upload the content of the folder to a server. People will then just have to click on the download link and download will start.
I don't really want to start a .mac account because I don't want to commit to a continuous monthly fee, so I guess I would need to buy a domain name and some hosting.
You might find a free host which gives you enough space for the album to be uploaded without having to pay anything.
Try one of these
http://www.275mb.com/
http://www.free-webhosts.com/webhosting-01.php
or search with Google
Would I then be able to design a simple site with iweb and upload to this external host (i.e. a host other than .mac)?
No problem, to publish go to File and select "Publish to a folder". You will then be able to upload that folder to a server using an FTP application. FTP means "File Transfer Protocol" it's an application for uploading your website to servers.
Here are two links to two (I think mostly used) freeware such applications
http://captainftp.xdsnet.de/cftp/download.html
http://cyberduck.ch/
I am pretty clueless with web design which is why the convenience of Apple software really appeals to me.
Yes it does, it couldn't be any easier.
Recap: find a free host which gives you enough space to upload the album and allows FTP upload. And you're almost done...

I was ready to blame the latest update from Apple, but perhaps not. Here are the symptoms:
Our church publishes a newsletter in PDF format which can be downloaded from their web site every month. This month, after the latest Apple update, the downloaded document has problems. General format is OK (boxes around text, images) but all text is simply grey bars that seem shaded from one side of the page to the other.
If I save the document and try to open it in Preview the same problem.
HOWEVER, if I open the document in the Adobe reader the document is fine!
I thought this might be a problem with my iMac (first of the aluminium iMacs), so I tried this on my Apple laptop (recent vintage). Both machines run 10.6.8 with the latest updates from Apple applied. I have no funny "helper" programs; i.e. the software is pretty clean and all updated.
Same issue on the laptop.
HOWEVER I looked for a generic pdf download on the web and downloaded a PDF instruction sheet from the Moen (plumbing) web site - no problem!
So now my suspicion is that the PDF document has the problem. But I would have thought that PDF is PDF and if the Adobe reader can handle the document that Safari and Preview should be able to? Is there some format switch in the program used to generate the PDF document that would cause the Apple programs to fail but Adobe to succeed?
Any thoughts welcomed! I'd like to figure out if it's me or them.
PS - I've not yet tried this on that "other" operating system. I could do that with a trip to the libraryThanks guys. I think I'll just rely on Acrobat as suggested. Sounds like somehting has changed on their end as the previous month's file loads fine.
I'll check with teh secretary ans see what has happened.

We are having a difficult time getting a PDF download to work with the
Struts framework on WLS 5.1.
This works fine with a servlet we have in production today, but when using
Struts, it fails every time.
We are submitting a form that contains a date and a type, and then going to
a back-end vendor to retrieve the PDF stream and re-stream it back to the
user. The URL that should work is as follows:
http://xxxx/action/viewStmt?period=mm/dd/yy&type=PDF
When we execute this URL, the action is invoked, the correct arguments are
obtained, the vendor is called, and the streaming is done. However, the
browser then pops up a message saying...
"You have chosen to download a file from this location:
yy&type=PDF from xxxx"
and the download fails.
We are doing almost the exact same thing with a servlet, and no such error
happens. I don't know if this is Struts-related or some configuration
issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
it sounds like the browser wants to download a file who's ContentType
isn't set.
try the following:
response.setContentType(<ENTER PROPER PDF CONTENT TYPE HERE>);
it'll probably be something like "application/pdf" or "text/pdf"
with Struts you'll probably have to extend the Action bean to handle
that. just have that extended Action read the type parameter and
interpret it.
hope that helps

"Click here to download the latest map app..." here's what you need to do...
It looks like they're pushing out the googlemap -> Bing maps update to the palm pre handsets now. The process they've come up with is kind of flawed. It's probably best to just go to the app catalog & download the new map app directly. If you wait for them to push it to you, what happens is that once you start googlemap, instead of going to the map app, it shows a hyperlink text stating "click here to download the latest map app." Clicking that link will keep you in the googlemap app, but will display a webpage designed for a full-size browser experience. You will have *no* way to zoom in to see any of the text. It's all miniscule gibberish.
Here's what you need to do. Everything you need is on the left hand side. The first field is a drop down letting you pick your country. Then, there's a field where you enter in the phone number associated with your palm. Then there's a check box that you need to check indicating that you've read whatever gibberish was written on the left side. then you click the big grey button on the lower left.
It sends an sms message to you allowing you to link to the appropriate app download. like I said...it probably would've saved you effort to just go directly to the app catalog.

How do I delete something in "Extra", something I didn't put in! (on my desktop).
On my laptop the "PDF -download, by Nitro PDF software" doesn't figure and pdf files open normally and not seperatly in the mainframe of for example www.centrum-veurne.beGee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year. -
Error on opening a PDF download
Please do not have your subject in all CAPITALS
HI,
i am geeting the below error message on trying to open the pdf download
**"Adobe reader could not open file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email and wasn't correctly decoded"**
however on analysis i found the following
no data on PDF because the otf internal table is empty.
actually i am converting a spool containg script into pdf download.
i am working with version 3.1i , so i dont use function module and use C function to convert spool to otf and then use convert_pdf to convert to pdf.
when i debug my call function on the do loop executes once corrcetly and on the second time of execution immediately loaded with error message 'end of data' .... and so my otf conversion is not happening . ie otf_page intertal table gets empty without appending .
sometimes i get error number 2048 ( illegal line length )
i could not locate the error , as this application was working earlier good and recently got into trouble.
pl guide if i need to check any settings.
to my knowledge i found the program , layout and spool informations are okay.
thanks in advance for your clue towards a progressive solution.

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

When on a site with a PDF download I wish to open, when I click on download the site commences to open in a new Tab but the information does not come through? This happens on all sites. The advanced Java Script is disabled. The new tab will sometimes flash black then go white with nothing else happening or just go white & nothing else?
I had the same problem and also had PDF Download 3.0.02 installed. By removing this addon I can now select a PDF document which then opens up a normal Open With/Save dialogue allowing me to open the file or save it. Hope this helps.
