Pages 5.1 Gestione dimensione ad hoc

Buongiorno
avrei l'esigenza di creare una pagine con grandezza ad hoc per fare un volantino e farlo stampare on line ma sul nuovo pages non mi da l'opzione "gestisci dimensione ad hoc sul menu' a tendina e non ci sono le grandezze che a me interessano.
Inoltre vorrei fare uno sfondo sfumato personalizzato ed anche questo non me lo permette.
Son sicuro che sono io una capra...spero di risolvere.
grazie

Cara capra
Menu> File> Imposta pagina ...> Formato carta > vai in fondo alla lista: Gestisci dimensioni ad hoc ...
Per fare un laureato sfondo:
Effettuare una forma quadrata delle dimensioni della pagina > Formato > Stile > Riempi > riempimento sfumato

Accessing WiFi through public web page

I have bought the HP Envy 4500 to use in a hotel room, where WiFi access to the Internet requires posting an email address on a web page, as a part of the access process. How do I get that web page on the display of my printer in order to find the box on the web page where I put in the email address ?

Hi,
You need to connect your printer to the internet to be able to send an email to its email address. In this case, the hotel won't let the printer to connect to its network (you can't fill out a form to be able to gain access). Please check the following manual (page #19) to setup an ad hoc network:

.pages file keeps growing larger, despite deleting big jpgs?

I'm trying to make my file smaller by shrinking some of my jpgs and putting them in fresh. ...but every time I delete one, and put it back in, my file GROWS! My finished product was only about 35MB a few days ago, and now it's up to 48MB! Please help me. It's kind of like, even though the pics are now smaller, pages is still saving the history of a bigger file being there?
I do not have the "back up previous version when saving" box checked in the preferences, if this a factor.

An html page is not as dimensionally as large as 4 letter size pages and it gets uploaded piecemeal.
You simply have a lot of graphics, several which are big on the page, overlapping lots of other images. I would have combined them in Photoshop and made them one flattened image.
Did you crop and change the format for the cartoons? I noticed after I replied to your eMail they were unchanged as well.
All the shadows and special effects are adding to the overhead as well. Thjey get turned into bitmap images in the pdf.
Efficient graphics are flat color, smooth vertical linear gradients, vector (pdf) and fonts. Text is relatively small, so use text to add contrast and interest, remembering it can be colored for emphasis. Keep the number of fonts to 3-4 both to make the pdf smaller and to clean up the design.
Be restrained. If you add everything plus the kitchen sink, don't be surprised if the removals van is sitting low on the suspension.

Getting used to the new version of Dreamweaver

1) I just downloaded a new version of Dreamweaver and can't find neither the fonts nor the font colors. 2) How to I create drop down menus?

1. The html attributes for these are gone since they've been deprecated within html standards. Highlight the text you want to affect, then click the CSS button in the Properties Inspector. You can control most of the usual text properties there, additional properties can be changed in the CSS Designer.
This is correct, but beware of using the Property inspector to style your text. Instead, you should always create a CSS rule to style the text, and apply that rule (if necessary) to the container of the text.
WHAT YOU GET IF YOU USE THE PROPERTY INSPECTOR (assuming text in a paragraph tag)
some styled text
WHAT YOU MIGHT GET IF YOU DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO THE SAME BIT OF TEXT
some styled text
WHAT YOU GET IF YOU CREATE THE RULE FIRST (assuming text in a paragraph tag)
some styled text
The downside of using the PI to do this is that each time you do it, a NEW class is created, so over time, your page fills up with these "ad hoc" and indecipherable class rules (2 days from now will you remember the difference between .style232 and .style233?).
The benefit of using the 2nd approach is that the downside mentioned above DOESN'T happen, you can name your classes with something that describes their function, you can apply the rule more intelligently that merely wrapping the styled content in a span tag (which may be totally redundant) and class rules can be reused many times on the same page.
As you can see, using the Property inspector to style your text is a bad idea, and frankly, that function has not been thought out very well in Dreamweaver.
Just saying....

Choix de structure pour une IHM

Bonjour,
Je m'essaye actuellement au Xcontrol et tente une IHM un peu poussé que mes habituelles.
Comme vous pouvez le voir dans mon programme j'utilise les splitters pour passer d'une "fenêtre" `l'autre lorsque l'on appuie sur les graphiques.
Ma question est la suivante : faut il que je gère aussi ces mouvements comme des Xcontrols ? dans ce cas cela signifierait gérer tout la face avant en tant que Xcontrol non ? ou dois je tout laisser comme avant ?
Je cherche juste à partir dans la meilleure direction pour la suite de mes développements.
Merci d'avance !
(normalement toutes les pièces se trouve dans le dossier)
Résolu !

Salut,
il n’y a pas l’ensemble du code, mais si je comprends bien tu veux faire un effet « slider » « swipe screen », pour décaler ta page avec un effet de mouvement et tu veux le gérer avec des splitters.
Je réponds non à la question : je gère aussi ces mouvements comme des Xcontrols
Pour info, pour le principe, je pense qu’il y a plus simple, tu as une fenêtre, qui a une origine, tu changes programmatiquement l’origine. Je te conseille de regarder le projet de
http://chrislarson.me/content/chris-larson/labview-vi-ipad-style-page-swiping
même si l'ensemble du code n'est pas à prendre en exemple.
J'ai codé une IHM qui gére plusieurs pages avec une gestion tactile, comme le soft de Chris.
La gestion n'est pas un objet graphique, de type XControl, mais un process (ou actor ou acteur ou programme informatique) qui gére, en parallèle du reste du code, les actions (états, message) que lui produit ue autre structure.
Donc structure producteur-consommateur, avec un structure "event" dans le code IHM du Main, qui produit sur détection d'actions de l'utilisateur sur l'IHM, par exemple par FIFO, à une deuximée boucle while en // (le deuximème process) des actions. Sur les actions, la deuxième boucle va gérer le "déplacer l'origine" de la fenêtre".
Tu peux le coder facilement sur un base de QMH (ou QDMH), cf les templates de projet de LabVIEW.
J'ai commencer, il y a quelques temps, à encapsuler le code de gestion "swipe" dans un code autonome, type Actor de l'actor framework, mais je n'ai pas terminé, par manque de temps, mais il faudrait... si je le termine je te le donne...

[2008-08-19 08:34] IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ENCRYPTION USERS
[2008-08-19 08:34]
[2008-08-19 08:34] The "password" column in /etc/crypttab has now
[2008-08-19 08:34] two special keywords:
[2008-08-19 08:34] - ASK ask for a passphrase on boot
[2008-08-19 08:34] - SWAP use a random key and create swapspace
[2008-08-19 08:34] This is particularly dangerous, as the
[2008-08-19 08:34] volume in question will be overwritten
[2008-08-19 08:34] If you use SWAP as your passphrase (which
[2008-08-19 08:34] is insecure anyway), be sure to remove it
[2008-08-19 08:34] from /etc/crypttab to avoid dataloss!

As you see here, for some reason wlan-ng** and ipw3945*(older driver) made it into my machine aswell, let alone ndiswrapper, that i never used.No matter what, my net after i booted the new kernel was broken. I couldnt connect using the "network" script (see below) as i used to.On boot kernel using just udev , was loading for some reason all ipw3945/iwl3945/ndiswrapper!So to minimize conflict possibilities, i removed wlan-ng26/wlan-ng26-utils , as well as ipw3945/ipw3945d and ndiswrapper. I blacklisted all the above aswell so to be sure that only the recommended iwl3945/mac80211 combo will run .

Aha! somethng goes wrong at low level there. Only randomly the pings are echoed for 3 or 4 seconds, and then again my wifi card looses association and starts all over taking random time to reassociate.
As a side note, the hardware *did* work properly since it was operating flawlessly before last update, *AND* *does* work properly , since i can boot from my FaunOS usb stick , and get it work properly.This all seem strange to me. In case any of you can recognize wthere this is some sort of configuration problem, upstream code problem, or package problem i would be glad to hear it , as i have been trying to figure out what is going wrong for 5 days now.I havent yet tried managed more, but it is not an option for me at the moment.

Well after getting tired trying out little things here and there with iwl3945/mac80211 and rc.conf et al. i gave ndiswrapper 1.52 a shot and it worked. Now i have my network back. So this reduces i guess the possibility for a script error causing this issue? So it is a iwl3945/mac80211 error? Should i file a bug for this somewhere with all the data i have in this thread and my braincells regarding this issue, since the suggested open source linux drivers dont work after upgrading to 2.26.6?
Enjoy

PS : with ndiswrapper and windows XP driver, i got my network up , issuing *exactly* the same commands i was trying with iwl3945/mac80211 combo.So this is saying something i think...

How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

Hi,
We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
ISBN_Author_01.PDF (with real page number as i)
ISBN_Author_02.PDF (with real page number as ii)
ISBN_Author_03.PDF (with real page number as iii)
ISBN_Author_04.PDF (with real page number as 1)
ISBN_Author_05.PDF (with real page number as 2)
ISBN_Author_06.PDF (with real page number as 3)
ISBN_Author_nn.PDF (with real page number as 500)
Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
Thanks,
Gopal

The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
pageNum numPages
The number printed on each page is the page label.
setPageLabels getPageLabel
You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

Populating ADF Table from Multi-Dimensional Array

Hello!
I'm trying to populate an ADF table from a multi-dimensional array.
Let's say that my array is
String [] [] myArr = new String [3][5].
On my page backing bean, I have a private attribute called tmpArr like this...
String [] [] tmpArr;
...which I will initialize later after I know the proper dimensions. The dimensions will come from a multimap that contains a key and and another array (for the key's value) containing values for the key. So once I know the dimensions I initialize my array with...
tmpArr = new String [x][y] where x and y are the dimensions (counters).
Now I have my multidimension array. On an jsp page I have an ADF table, and I'm setting the value for the table to the array (the table's value property is bound to the backing bean's tmpArr attribure).
Like so:
<af:panelForm id="availableOptions"
binding="#{myBackingBean.availableOptionsValues}">
<af:table emptyText="No items were found" rows="10"
value="#{myBackingBean.tmpArr}" var='myArr'>
Now I need to know how to do the following:
1) Set the table's columns based on the number of attributes on the array.
2) Set the table's rows based on the array's length.
3) Set each table cell value to values on the array's 2nd dimension. I'm assuming that ADF takes care iterating through the array, and that I should do something like...
<af:outputText value="#{myArr[][0]}"/>
<af:outputText value="#{myArr[][1]}"/>
etc...
However, this isn't working...
javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException: myArr[][0]
...bla bla bla...
Was expecting one of:
<INTEGER_LITERAL> ...
<FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL> ...
<STRING_LITERAL> ...
"true" ...
"false" ...
"null" ...
"not" ...
"empty" ...
<IDENTIFIER> ...
Is there a blog or resource (article, book, etc) that shows how this is done? Anyone has done this and would like to share how?
Thank you.

This is in fact possible. I'm not sure about the "best practice" around doing this but there is a couple of ways to do this.
You can either create a managed bean then right click on it and use the wizard to create a data control or you can do it as per below
The a table will convert an array into a collection.
Once you have created an array and generated the accessors in a bean you can then reference the mutli-dimensional array from a table as per below.
<af:table value="#{pageFlowScope.PageBean.sessionArr}" var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1" varStatus="status">
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col1" id="c1">
<af:outputText value="#{pageFlowScope.PageBean.sessionArr[status.index][0]}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
String [][] sessionArr = new String[5][2];
public void setSessionArr(String[][] sessionArr) {
this.sessionArr = sessionArr;
public String[][] getSessionArr() {
sessionArr[0][0]="rice";
sessionArr[1][0]="water";
return sessionArr;
EDIT: For either of the above methods the managed bean must have a scope of pageFlow or longer.
Cheers,
Aaron

Pages to ePub observations and hints

I've been experimenting with exporting ePubs. Here are some things I have have found that may help others.
These observations are based on Pages v4.1 and iBooks v2.0.1
These truths might be invalidated when new versions of Pages and/or iBooks appear.
There may be subtle distinctions and/or situations where these observations don't work as described. Or maybe for some of them, I have gotten close to the truth but not fully realized it completely yet. Experiment with them at your will.
1. Pages does not and will not insert any "page breaks" (or css causing that effect) in an ePub file per se. When exporting to ePub, Pages ignores any and all page breaks or section breaks you insert into a Pages document. Instead, it splits what it considers to be chapters each into separate xhtml files within the created ePub container. It seems that iBooks is hardcoded to automatically display each xhtml file beginning on a new "page."
2. According to Apple's "ePub Best Practices" document, Pages considers chapters to be delimited by instances of text of the style "Chapter Name". I have found that changing the name of that style does not effect the resulting ePub. Therefore, it is not the style's name that informs pages to use it as the chapter delimiter. Instead, I have found that Pages will look at all the styles you have marked as to be included in the TOC (hereafter called "TOC-included-styles"). Whichever one of these happens to be used first in the document, will be the style that Pages will use to parse chapters, unless the first TOC-included-style used is named "Chapter Number". In this case, that instance of "Chapter Number" is skipped over when considering the style to use as chapter delimiter, and the next TOC-included-style found will be used.
3. Unlike "Chapter Name", the style named "Chapter Number" is required be to named "Chapter Number". This style further affects the splitting of the xhtml files, and therefore, iBook's rendering of "page breaks". An exported ePub will normally be split into xhtml files at the first character of all instances of "Chapter Name". A document that also includes any "Chapter Number" instances will be split at the first character of those instances. The rule, in plain english, would be: split into xhtml files at instances of 'Chapter Name', but if any particular 'Chapter Name' instance has a 'Chapter Number' instance before it, back up and make the split immediately before that 'Chapter Number'. If a "Chapter Name" instance has more than one instance of "Chapter Number" before it, the split will happen at the earliest instance of "Chapter Number" until a previous "Chapter Name" is found. If the last "Chapter Name" instance in a document has any "Chapter Number" instances after it, there will be no split at those "Chapter Number" instances. Any other styles in between any of these instances are preserved, so you could have a new page in iBooks with a chapter number, followed by some text, then the chapter's name. If you rename the "Chapter Number" style to something else, it is then considered like any other style and has no affect on resulting ePub structure.
4. If you insert a TOC into your Pages document, it is ignored for ePub export. The TOC created in an ePub will include whatever styles are checked in the Document->TOC inspector. The ePub TOCs as generated by Pages seem to have only two levels of indentation. The high level is the chapter level, as described above, whatever TOC-included-style appears first in the document will be the chapter delimiter and be the least indented level of the TOC. All other TOC-included-styles, no matter what they are named or how they are configured in Pages, will be placed at indent level two in the resulting ePub's TOC. So, a style does not need to be named "Heading" to be included in the ePub TOC, it just needs to be a TOC-included-style.
5. You can add however many images you want to a chapter, but if the combined file size of the images in that chapter add to more than 1Mb, then the resulting ePub will not display any of the images which cause the size of that chapter to surpass 1Mb.
6. There is talk that a "magic" resolution for images is 600x860 in order to have them occupy a full "page" in the resulting ePub. I have found that any image whose pixel resolution fills the iBooks page viewport will do that, if the image is also set to cause wrap-with-clear-space on the left and/or right. The iBooks viewport seems to be 368x569 pixels when the iPad is held in landscape orientation. So in other words, no matter how large your image is, when viewing on the iPad in landscape mode, it will be at the most 368x569 physical iPad pixels. Therefore it seems to me, if you only wanted to view a book in landscape mode, you could make all your images exactly 368x569, and not larger, making the resultant ePub file as small as possible. But you'd probably want to design the book for portrait mode as well. In portrait mode, the viewport seems to be 547x???. Where I have not taken the time to deduce the exact vertical viewport dimension, but I know it is close to 780px, either way, the image can be smaller than 600x860. iBooks will shrink any image larger than the viewport at hand (portrait or landscape) to fit the viewport. If the aspect ratio of the image differs greatly from the viewport, the image will appear "letterboxed" because the aspect ratio of the image is maintained as it is shrunk to fit the page's viewport.
7. The margins of your Pages document, whether they be document-wide margins, or margins within a section, don't seem to affect the resulting ePub. The document-wide-margins and the layout-margins (in a section) can be set to zero. The on-the-ruler margins can be at the edges of the "paper." Extranious tabs on the rulers can affect things. I find it is best to drag all tab stops off the rulers.
8. Tables are problematic. They are not good constructs to put in ePubs. Pages will dimension tables/columns width based on percentages. So if the overall width of your table drawn in Pages happens to be 50% the width of the "paper", then in iBooks on the iPad, the table will be 50% of the width of iPad's page viewport. An 8.5x11 "sheet" of paper shown in Pages is typically defined as 612 pixels wide* (change your Pages ruler units preferences to Points to verify, the Document inspector will show the page size in pixels). So if you draw your table half the width of that sheet, you get a table 306px wide in Pages. That's pretty good, you can fit a bit of text in a table that wide. But now you export to ePub, and since the iPad's (landscape) viewport is only 368 pixels wide, your resulting table is 50% of that, or 184px wide. Since the size of the text hasn't changed much, now everything is wrapping and going crazy. Column widths are also generated as percentages of the table's width, so a column that fits its content nicely in Pages is now too narrow in the ePub. Confusion ensues. Incidentally, the above assumes your document left and right margins are set to zero, if not, the percentage of width is calculated between the margins, not the edges of the page. What you can do is make the table 100% of the width of the page, in that case the resulting table in the ePub will always be 100% of the width of the page viewport on the iPad. For a bit of left and right margin, you can throw in an empty column to the left and an empty column to the right of your table's content, then shut off the border lines for those side columns so they aren't seen. This won't solve your problems, but might take some of the pain away. If a user cranks the font size up as high as it will go on the iPad, no table remains standing.
* if you do any measuring with on-screen rulers, make sure you set Page's zoom to 100% first, as it defaults to 125%!
9. If you want to get a clue as to how your book will flow on the iPad (in landscape mode for example), you can temporarily set your document's Page Size to be 368x569 pixels (will all margins set to zero). You set Page Size and Margins in pixels (in inspector) by first changing the ruler units to Points in Page's settings. Be careful though, it's an approximate result, not exact WYSIWYG, the words won't end up exactly where you see them.
10. If you have read thus far, you probably already know that the first (on-screen) page of a Pages document can be used to automatically create the ePub's cover image upon export. As mentioned elsewhere on the 'net, floating images can be used on this first page (if they are used elsewhere they are ignored). I have found that shapes, specifically floating shapes can be used on the first page as well. You can even use background shapes! This unlocks the door to creating some truly nice covers with a minimum of work. I have here attached an image of a cover I created in just a couple of minutes without using Photoshop or any other image editor, just Pages. I will describe below how it is done
All the objects on the first page (shown above) is set to floating or background, therefore, you need to move the inline text to the next page. You can do this by inserting a section break. You can see it in the upper left corner. That forces all the text to be shuttled off to next page, out of the way.
First I created the swirly pattern background. To do so, create a box shape on the page and immediately set its Placement properties to "in background". Keep "background objects selectable" and resize it to cover the entire page. Remove any border or shadow from it. Then set its Fill to any seamless pattern you like. Keep the pattern pixel dimensions small so as not to create a large ePub. This particular swirly pattern I created very quickly for free at patterncooler dot com. Set the fill properties to "Tile" so that your pattern is tiled throughout the whole box shape. Now you can uncheck "background objects selectable" so that you can work on top of it without disturbing it.
The size of the pattern repeat itself is important to consider. The book cover will be seen in two places: on iBook's bookshelf (small), and opposite the table of contents in the book itself if the iPad is held in landscape mode. If the size of the repeat is too small, then you cant really make out the pattern in the bookshelf icon because the whole cover has been shrunk down, if the repeat is too large, it might look nice on the bookshelf but funny opposite the TOC. You'll have to experiment, but the repeat used in this example is a good compromise.
Next the brown spine down the left hand side is another box shape. This one's placement is set to "floating". Stretch it to the edges of the page. I filled this one with a subtle gradient to give it a slightly 3 dimensional look. Remember that iBooks will overlay shade an indentation along the left edge to appear as a crease. So dont make it too dark. Remove any border from this box, but give it a shadow on the right, just enought to make it appear affixed on the book. I used shadow settings of Offset 1pt, Blur 6pt, Opacity 75% at an angle of 323. Too much offset or blur ruins the effect. You want it to appear as a very thin layer adhesed to the "book". As for colors, use the eyedropper on the color inspector to pick colors from the background pattern, this will make it "work together" if you are color challenged.
The stitching on the right edge of the spine shape is a simple line shape 2 pts wide. Properties are: dotted, with a very slight shadow (2,4,85%,315). You can use the "bring forward" or "send backward" commands if the stack order gets mixed up.
Next add the Title and Author boxes. They are simple floating box shapes with color fill, and simple black border of 3px. Page's pop-up alignment guides will help you center them in the page. There is no shadow for these boxes as they (here) are supposed to mimic a printed and not a physical adhesion. Instead of a line border, you can also apply Page's "picture frame borders. I went crazy with those, but ultimately came back to the simple line border.
If you want to make these "adhesions" there are lots of nice paper textures on the 'net you can use as fill.
Finally you see there is a slight highlight on the top edge of the book and slight shadow along the right and bottom edge. These make the cover seem to have rounded edges, they give it a 3D appearance. To create the right hand "round over" draw a line-shape the height of the page. Make it 5px wide, and give it shadow properties of 5,4,50%,142. Next you have to move it so that it is slightly off the paper and thus not seen, but close enough that it's shadow is still seen. To move it, you can use a combination of the mouse, the arrow buttons on the keyboard, and/or the position inspector pane. In my example, the page is 600px wide, and the line sits at the 601px location. Be careful about moving shapes off the page, as you can "lose" them. Oddly enough, there is no way to see and/or find shapes that are "off page" (that I know of anyway). If you lose a shape off the page, you have to draw selection boxes blindly, until you stumble upon the shape again. It seems a way to hide content if one so desired.
For the bottom edge of the book, do the same thing with a horizontal line. Shadow angle in my example is the same 142 degrees.
For the top edge, do the same except make the shadow color white. (5,5,50%,270). This shape is hard to select once you have it offscreen. If you want to select it, you might have to move the background and right edge shadow out of the way first. Then draw a small box at the top right corner of the page until you hit it.
And one last detail, you might notice my page size is 600x860px (8.333in x 11.944in). This is because I think this aspect ratio is shaped more like a novel than than 8.5x11in (612x792px). The latter is squarer, and more the shape of a text book.
I hope this stuff has been useful to you.

Thank you for sharing such an informative post! I'd like to offer one small correction.
My company publishes children's picture storybooks in print. These are edge to edge full color pages for those who may not be familiar with this format. Our early ePub's were always disappointing in that we could not duplicate the print format without showing considerable white margins on an e-reader. We have since solved that problem in order to achieve the maximum image size. There will always be some amount of white margin in ePub format, but our image output now nearly fills the screen of any e-reader.
The 600X860 resolution is correct in order to achieve a wall to wall ePub image. The image must be created at that resolution for insertion into the document, and the page setup must also be set at the same dimension, which in inches is 8.333X11.944. You cannot, for example, use a smaller size image and drag it with constrained proportions to fill the viewport at the 600X860 resolution. The exported ePub file recognizes the portion of the image that is beyond the margins of the viewport and it will show up in an e-reader with a large white bottom margin.
Dragging a smaller image than the 600X860 resolution to fill the viewport with unconstrained proportions will work, but of course distorts the image. So, create your images at 600X860, insert them into your doc, export to ePub and you will be happy, happy, happy!

Image size in iBooks Author 'Gallery' when at full page

Hi
I'me looking to make an image gallery (c 40 images) to fill a complete landscape page in IBAuthor
I now need to get the images from the photographers.
I was told to request them in the size below but I've just noticed that in the gallery format at full screen, the images look to be a different size due to the thumbnails at the bottom which I wish to include (I know you can untick this option)
Can anyone advise me if I need to ask for more or different information?
Specifically should I ask for images at 1024x768 pixels or at another size?
Many thanks.
Chris
Working with images
Photo should no larger than 500-600 kb each. iBookstore will ony accept books up to 2.0 GB for publication so I keep the size down for best results and to avoid performance issues.
The (older) iPad display has a 1024x768 pixel screen so this should be the maximum size of the image. To make sure that all ipad users can view images to the best effect.
Use JPG for opaque raster images and PNG for transparent raster images whenever possible.
Use an RGB color profile in your images to improve size and processing time
Cover images should be 1400 pixels wide in the smaller dimension

I'm guessing that they will be jpegs but I can ask for them in any format you consider best. I guess that's part of the question. The notes above say:
Use JPG for opaque raster images and PNG for transparent raster images whenever possible.
Use an RGB color profile in your images to improve size and processing time
Which format should I ask for?
Thanks

Create a two dimensional table in Acess

Hi,
I am working with a database and the toolkit "the database connectivity tooset". I know how to create a new table from labview, but is it possible to create a "two dimensional" table from labview, i.e, where one table in Microsoft Access is linked to another one. I know how to do it in access, but it should be possible in program to crate a new table and this one has to be linked to another one then, just like the others. Does someone know how to do it??
Thank you!

Hi
I assume you are not so familiar with databases, are you?
First I want to comment your previous post:
well I have a table for a product that contains, say different data for the product, i.e. the date of the test, who is responsible for the test, where it was performed. Also, linked to the date (I guess it is the primary key), there are also some data related. so in my table in the database, next to the date, there is a "+"-sign, so I can open up the page of all the data related to the date.
Well, did you create this database on your own? So you must have created two tables (table one with fields Datum, Responsible & Cost and table two with fields Place1, Place2, Place3 & Place4). Then you must have dragged on field from one table to another field in the other table in the "Relations" view of access. Doing so, you created a relation. Due to this, access now knows how this date is related and displays the "+"-sign. You can not assume that the date is the primary key.
In fact you do not have a "2D" table, but just different datasets from two tables connected to each other. This connection is created by relations.
So, if I know would like to create a new table in my program (each product has its own table, so a new product=a new table), I would also like to create this "data" sheet that is connected to the data. Bu how do I do that?
I can easily just create a new table (i.e. a new product), just using the "DB Tools Create Table.vi". But I guess it is when I actually want to add the data to the database, where I create the "data" sheet? Using the "DB Tools Execute Query" and a SQL statement with INSERT INTO, is that the way to go?
As mentioned before, this "datasheet" is just a dataset from a second table which is made displayable by the relation. So if you're question is "how to create a relation using LV", you are quite on the right way. First create two tables one of which has to contain a field where the primary key from the other table is linked to. Then you have to set a PK in one table (using SQL statements) and then build the relation (also using SQL statements). I can't tell you, if you have to define the foreign key in the second table too.
Have a look at the MS-Access help on how to assign relations and how to define primary keys. There may be something to take care off. Basically standard SQL should do - but using MS you never know .
As this is somehow complicated, I always create the database structure in MS Access and that's it - afterwards all is done programatically (write and read data). Usually I don't open the database again with Access unless there is a special task.
Hope this helps you a little bit otherwise come and ask again.

Best practice in JSTL with multi-dimensional arrays

Hi,
I'm working in a project and I'm trying to convert some code into JSTL way, I have a first.jsp that calls addField(String, String) from fieldControl.jsp:
(first.jsp)
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ include file="fieldControl.jsp" %>
<html>
<head><title>JSP Page</title></head>
<body>
<%! String[][] list1;
%>
<%
list1 = new String[2][2];
list1[0][0]="first_1";
list1[0][1]="first_2";
list1[1][0]="second_1";
list1[1][1]="second_2";
for (int i=0;i<list1.length;i++){
String html;
html = addField (list1[0], list1[i][1]);
out.println(html);
%>
</body>
</html>
(fieldControl.jsp)
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%! public void addField(String name,String label)
return ...
Now for JSTL I've this example from "JSTL pratical guide for JSP programmers" Sue Spielman:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Display Results
</title>
</head>
<body>
<%-- Create a HashMap so we can add some values to it --%>
<jsp:useBean id="hash" class="java.util.HashMap" />
<%-- Add some values, so that we can loop over them --%>
<%
 hash.put("apples","pie");
 hash.put("oranges","juice");
 hash.put("plums","pudding");
 hash.put("peaches","jam");
%>
 
<c:forEach var="item" items="${hash}">
I like to use <c:out value="${item.key}" /> to make <c:out value="${hash[item.key]}" />
 
 
</c:forEach>
</body>
</html>
and my problem is :
1st - how to use the multi-dimensional array in this way (<jsp:useBean id="hash" class="java.util.HashMap" />) ? because if I use it like this
<% String[][] list1;
list1 = new String[2][2];
list1[0][0]="first_1";
list1[0][1]="first_1";
list1[1][0]="second_1";
list1[1][1]="second_2";%>
<c:out value="${list1}" />
<c:out value="${list1.lenght}" />
I get nothing,
also tryed <c:set var="test" value="<%=list1.length%>" /> and got "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions"
2nd hot to make the call to the method addField?
Thanks for any help, I really want to make this project using JSTL, PV

When you are using JSTL, it is best to not put data inside the JSP. Put it inside JavaBeans. Then make calles to the methods in those JavaBeans.
So you should get used to JavaBeans and their requirenments.
Access JavaBeans only through 2 types of methods: getters and setters.
Getters are used to "get" values (properties) from the bean, and always have the form
public Type getPropertyName(void)
That is, they are public, return some value, start with the exact string "get" end with the name of the property (first letter of the property name capitalized) and have a void (empty) argument list.
For example, this is a good signature to get HTML from a bean:
public String getHtml()
Setters are used to assign values to a bean. They always have the form
public void setPropertyName(Type value)
That is, they are public, do not return anything, start with the string "set", end with the name of the property (first letter capitalized), and take a SINGLE parameter.
public void setHtml(String value)
Also, JavaBeans must have a no argument constructor and need to be Serializable.
The way I would approach this would be to create a JavaBean that holds the two dim array for you, and has a getter that returns a list of all the formatted html.
package mypack;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class DataFormatterBean implement java.io.Serializable {
private String[][] list;
public DataFormatterBean() {
 list = new String[2][2];
 list[0][0]="first_1";
 list[0][1]="first_2";
 list[1][0]="second_1";
 list[1][1]="second_2";
public List getHtml() {
 List outputHtml = new ArrayList(list.length);
 for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
 String html = addField(list[0], list[i][1]);
outputHtml.add(html);
return outputHtml;
private addField(String a, String b) { .. do work .. }
Then, the JSP would look like this:
<jsp:useBean id="dataFormatter" class="mypack.DataFormatterBean"/>
<c:forEach var="htmlString" items="${dataFormatter.html}">
<c:out value="${htmlString}"/>
</c:forEach>Once you start thinking in terms of having JavaBeans do your work for you JSTL is so much easier... and it gets even easier when you start to delve into custom tags.

Page/chapter numbering probs in material converted from Word

Situation: Need to convert ~300 pages (multiple files) of Word into structured Frame. I'm not very familiar with structured Frame (but am working on this), and am a long-time user of nonstructured. Moving Word 2007 files into Frame9 (in TCS2).
Problem: Chapter/page numbering. No matter what I try, including copies of a file that demonstrably works, one copy does not accept the "Continued" settings for page numbering. It resets the TOC to page 1. Copies of that file added to the TOC also reliably reset page numbering to 1. When I go in to see what's going on I find that the Numbering dialog for each problem file shows it mysteriously reset to start page numbering at 1. (These copies are nearly identical, differing only in a numeral in one heading to remind me what chapter each is file supposed to be.)
Further, when I added an autonumbered ChapterTitle paragraph at the top of each file to test chapter numbering, the page numbering problem resolved itself (!) but the chapters don't increment as expected. Numbering string: "C:Chapter <n=1>" for Chpt1 and "C:Chapter <n+>" for the rest of them.
Test setup: Saw this in production files and stepped back to use a simple Word source file as a test. Constructed several Normal paragraphs, a bulleted list, and a numbered list, and two heading levels (Heading1, Heading2) in this file. Saved; closed. Opened the file in Frame (Structured). Created several nearly identical copies and added all to a book file. Added a TOC to the book. Set the numbering: Chpt1 starts Chapter and Page at 1 and all others are set to "Continued" in both categories.
Added the ChapterTitle paragraph to each file after conversion.
In one experiment I applied several of the "target" Frame paragraph formats. Target formats were supplied by writer who works primarily in a structured Frame setup that is similar to the one planned for the converted material. In one file all paragraphs were set to their Frame equivalents. In others there was a mix of original (as brought over from Word) and Frame formats. Made no apparent difference.
Questions: Is this something about structured vs. unstructured? About structured Frame WRT conversion from Word? Either way, has anyone else seen (more to the point, *resolved*) similar?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Anne

OK--
WRT "<$chapnum>": check, thanks for the reminder. (Yes, I agree that chapter/page numbering tabs are different items.) :-)
To clarify: yes, the idea is a Word > Frame conversion. The process stumbled upon so far starts with opening Word files in unstructured Frame. (I'd never done it, either---never had a need to try. Somebody new to Frame asked if it was possible, so we experimented and voila!) I have recommended dropping files into .mif and then resaving as .fm in order to lose any artifactual Word stuff.
Step 2 is applying appropriate Frame paragraph styles from a supplied list, and creating book files. (The page numbering issue resolved once I added a ChapterHead paragraph. Using the <$chapnum> tag handles the remaining chapter number issue.)
In theory Step 3 will be the move into handling the fully-converted material as structured Frame documents. The key point, though, appears to be the conversion table. I get this from a WritersUSA article by Alan Houser at http://www.writersua.com/articles/frame/index.html:
FrameMaker provides a mechanism called a conversion table to automate much of the task of legacy document conversion. The conversion table maps unstructured FrameMaker paragraph and character formats to elements, and allows you to automatically nest groups of elements. If your legacy documents were created using a style-based authoring tool (typically FrameMaker or Word [!]) and your authors have used those styles consistently, you may be able to automate 80%-90% of the conversion process. If your legacy documents include a significant amount of manual or ad-hoc formatting, the conversion will be substantially more tedious.
Looks like my group will have to create this.
Thanks, all, for the help. :-)
