PDF and images' URL

Hello world,
Let's say I have in my database a table with a column that contains URL to images. If my want to generate it in PDF, I can use an image boilerplate with "source file format" set to "Image URL" and the "source filename" to &my_column_name. Now, I'm discovering that I can't use this in PDF :-(
I thought I could use a "source file format" of "Image" only, since the URL is in fact a local path. But then, I've discovered that I can't set the "source filename" to a reference to a column. Argh!!!
I'm sure I'm not the first going thru this. Can someone tell me what are my option now?
Thanks a lot!
Frederic

Hi Timo,
The URL should be delivered in the form:
;http://myserver:myport/filename.fileextension;fileextension;
Like:
;http://www.sap.com:1080/sampleimage.jpg;jpg;
Alternatively you can just add the MIME URL directly into the CCM schema of the affected catalog which means in the uploads you only need to define the filename and extension.
Regards,
Jason

Update description and image URL.
Modified Paths:

I updated my query that populates my form with cfsets as follows:
<cfif IsDefined("URL.ProductID")>
<cfquery datasource="farmky" name="getProducts">
SELECT CatalogGroup.ID AS CatalogGroup_ID,
       CatalogGroup.Group,
       Products.ProductID,
       Products.Manufacturer,
       Products.ManufacturerImage,
       Products.ProductTitle,
       Products.ProductImage,
       Products.ProductDescription,
       Products.Species,
       Products.CatalogGroup,
       Products.ProductType,
       ProductTypes.ID AS ProductTypes_ID,
       ProductTypes.ProductType AS ProductTypes_ProductType
FROM ProductTypes INNER JOIN (CatalogGroup INNER JOIN Products ON CatalogGroup.ID = Products.CatalogGroup) ON ProductTypes.ID = Products.ProductType
WHERE ProductID = #URL.ProductID#
ORDER BY Products.ProductType, Products.ProductTitle
</cfquery>
<cfset ManufacturerImage = Trim(getProducts.ManufacturerImage)>
<cfset ProductImage = Trim(getProducts.ProductImage)>
<cfset Manufacturer = Trim(getProducts.Manufacturer)>
<cfset ProductTitle = Trim(getProducts.ProductTitle)>
<cfset ProductDescription = Trim(getProducts.ProductDescription)>
<cfset Species = Trim(getProducts.Species)>
<cfset CatalogGroup = Trim(getProducts.CatalogGroup)>
<cfset ProductType = Trim(getProducts.ProductType)>
</cfif>
Now when I execute the form I get :
Element PRODUCTID is undefined in FORM.
This is the source code fromt the form prior to submission:
<form action="update_product.cfm" method="post">
            <input type="hidden" name"ProductID" value="27" />
etc.....

Why are PDF and Image Files embedded in all sent mail messages?

When sending mail with either PDF or Image Files as attachments, the person receiving the message does get the attachment, but the files are also embedded in the mail message. This will display the image file below my text, however with a PDF, it's just trying to display as an image but is just lots of garbled characters. Word docs are not embedded, just attached. Any ideas how to prevent this? I'm attaching files by using the attach button and browsing for the file like normal. Thanks!

Resaving pdfs and image quality

I have clients submit ads as pdfs but sometimes I need to recreate the pdf because the client forgot to include all printer marks, or I need to convert a spot to process, or whatever. The way I do it is to create a new InDesign CS3 file, place the pdf file into it, and export to pdf using my preset. My question is does importing a pdf file into ID and then exporting back into pdf affect image quality, even slightly assuming the compression settings are the same in the export to pdf' dialog box - mainly all compression set to none?
Thanks.
-Mark

New Bie:
Many of the adjustments you want to make can be done to the PDF within Acrobat if you have the Acrobat Professional version.
Such as: convert colors, add printers marks and change Page Box sizes.
You'll find these tools under the "Advanced" menu > "Print Production"
And also under the "Document" menu > Crop Pages > Change Page Size

Remote Helpsets and image URLs

When using Java's helpset viewer on helpsets hosted on a web server, images only show if you specify their URL as relative to the helpset's root...
For example, if I have a helpset with a subdirectory abc that contains 2 files, test.html and test.jpg, the following tag won't work in test.html...
<img src=test.jpg>For the image to show it has to be like this...
<img src=abc\test.jpg>..which makes testing html pages individually a pain. Is there any way to force the helpset viewer to behave like a normal browser and treat URLs in "scr" attributes as being relative to the page's path? (instead of relative to the root)

Thank you so much for your time.
With Yahoo! Mail configued as the mailto app, selecting "Email image..." on the Firefox logo on the Mozilla site, this is what gets dropped into the compose window in Yahoo! Mail:
https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.cdn.mozilla.net%2Fstatic%2Fimg%2Fblank.png&subject
Changing my mailto app to Gmail, this is what gets dropped into a compose window:
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/static/img/blank.png
So it does indeed seem to be a Yahoo! Mail issue, not a Firefox issue, as a different email client changes things.
What's very odd is that this used to work with Yahoo! Mail several weeks ago. I wonder if Yahoo changed something on thier end.
Thanks
Jim

InDesign CS5 to PDF and Image Paths

Hi, all
When I export my InDesign layouts as PDFs, is it possible to include somewhere, somehow in the PDFs the image-path information of all images in the layout?

This is not a one-step solution, but it would give you what you want:
Choose File > Package. At the bottom of the dialog, click Report... This will save a text file with all the information you'd want about the file, including the path of all linked graphics. If you wish to could create a PDF of that text file, and merge it or send it along with the PDF for the document.

Basic problem in displaying the pdf and images in Application express

Hi,
I have oracle 10g and application express.
I have already stored the images and pdfs using PLSQL in table with following columns
TableA(vessel number, cruise number, image blob, pdf blob)
now for every vessel, cruise combination there is a particular image and pdf.
so in my htmldb page.
I have created 2 select list for vessel and cruise respectively.
now on selecting these lists i want to diaplay their corresponding image and pdf.
How can i do this? I just somehow miss the basic knowledge of how to do this.
Should i create a html region or a report region for the image and pdf.
under what region the image and pdf goes. and on sleecting the vessel, cruise can i show hyperlinks and upon selecting the hyperlinks a image and pdf opens in a new window.
or can i create 2 regions and display the image and pdf right in the region itself.
Can someone please guid eme please.
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
I suggest switching to the Application Express forum.
Pretty sure it'll be easier for you to find the answers over there

Pdfs and images

I was at an ATT store just recently and the **** is stil deeper for that **** phone! lol...
But I went to my .mac account and have a few questions.
I saw how pictures show up when attached, but the .pdfs I have in my account did not.
Is that normal? Any clue? I clicked on them and saw the spinning of the dial like it was being downloaded, and if it was where was it being downloaded? And if its viewable what do I need to make a pdf viewable like pictures? And can one print that pdr from the phone?
Next .mac question.
I couldn't move the middle bar in my mail in .mac to show more or less of the mail page. Is it possible?
Similiar to the top question I had email from Surplus computer and I went there, choose to "show images" amd the email loaded just the first line of the emails images, nothing beyond that. Suggestions on?
No pdfs or full images in the email is a deal killer for me even though its a freaking amazing device!!
thanks,
froghead

I have the same issue. First after bought, all View settings works fine. Until recently it combines PDF with other documents in View as Kind. After tried many things and restart many times now it separated PDF from other documents but it turned out that it decided to think images files are also same as documents. So now my mac combines image files with other documents. Anybody meet this kind of issue? pls help

You installed Adobe what? Assuming that perhaps you have a subscription for Acrobat XI Pro, I will move your post to the appropriate forum. You could also try to Contact Customer Care.

I just converted a document from Word to PDF and the URL links don't work.How can the links to work?

Anyone know how to get the links to work in a PDF that was converted from Word?

Then the problem originates from Microsoft Word; you should ask in the appropriate Microsoft Office forum.

Add text and image into pdf

Hi,
I have several PDF in which I must add a different text by pdf and image in all pages in each PDF document
How do with the SDK and delphi

I think you may misunderstand the capabilities of PDF. Are you expecting the PDF to reflow around your new content - because it will not.

NeverCompressed list vs. CM issues on pdf or images

Symptom:
*.pdf & images causing errors on e.g. opening in CM, esp. on J2EE versions below SPS15. This might happen occasionally or always.
Technical cause:
Compression by J2EE
In J2EE default delivery 'image' & *.pdf is always on NeverCompressed key list.
Why compression might have been enabled again ?
Wrong instructions are given for compressing pdf and images in several guides:
1) http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Portal, KM and Collaboration -> All -> How To Optimize Network Traffic in EP6.0, in Section "3.3.1 Configuring SAP Web Application Server (JAVA) Compression and Caching"
2) http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Portal, KM and Collaboration -> Portal -> How to Fine Tune Performance of Portal Platform, in Section "3.3.1 Configuring SAP Web Application Server (JAVA) Compression and Caching"
"NeverCompressed
To enable script files compression, delete the following content types from the list: *.css, *.pdf, *.js, image, application/pdf"
Check if this recommandation was followed.
Compression doesn't make sense here roughly as compressing .gif or .jpg / .pdf does not bring any benefit of smaller content to be transfered, no beneficial ratio and is causing errors, esp. on J2EE versions below SPS15.
Solution:
- add image and *.pdf again to NeverCompressed key anyway.
- Alternatively exclude e.g. gif via Mime key value {.gif,image/gif} if other relevant images types where compression does make sense are in use.
The problematic HowTo guides will be corrected.

and sorry for the shoddy typing.... ipad/bed/typing dont mix very well

Custom Image(URL) not showing up in PDF

Hi,
We have created a standard webi-report where a company logo is part of the report header.
We would like to keep the company logo in a database, so we've creáted a simple webapp to retrieve the image from an Oracle database. When we insert the logo into our report we just use the following link as the Image(URL): http://<Servername>/plsqlapp/docs/Company.JPG
The logo now shows up as expected in the report as long as we view the report through InfoView. However, when we export the report as a PDF document, the logo will vanish.
If we use boimg://Company.jpg as the Image(URL) instead, it works OK even when exported to a PDF document.
We would however prefer to keep our images used in reports in a database.
