PDF/PrintJob issue - difference b/w Classic and TLF/FTE

Hi - I'm hoping some Adobe insiders can share some insight on this.
I'm basically trying to take the final output (page Sprite) rendered from TLF or the Flash Text Engine, and convert it to PDF with selectable vector text.
I get decent results from using PrintJob and a pdf driver like pdfcreator or cutepdf (both use ghostscript on my machine). However, the text in the pdf isn't selectable.
This is different when using "classic" Flash9 textfield components.... any text that gets converted is usually selectable. The PDF properties also show (for textfield) that the appropriate font was embedded. Not the case for Tlf TextLines.
I'm wondering:
- Is this a bug? Or an interntional design choice (if so, what's the reasoning?)
- How can I get a PDF made that uses vector fonts and selectable text from FTE output (Sprites)? Ideally I'd want the pdf conversion without the need to use a print driver... so is there any other solution other than printjob - an external library or some server-based loop that can get this done? I want to make the sprites first (and not e.g. directly use PDF's API) because of the layout requirements... Flash FTE / TLF works great for that for us.
Any help on this would be super! So thanks in advnace,

Hi Robin,
Thanks so much for the response.
That indeed sounds like precisely the issue.
Is there no way to add that extra info about selectability to TextLine (or
is there some reference of which properties or fields are maintained by
TextField for this info and that could be used to make an extended TextLine
object with those extra bits?
Or what about trying to replace all TextLines with TextFields just before
printing (by reading their rawtext etc) - the part of that I'm uncertain of
is would textfields render the text precisely as textlines do... somehow I
doubt the kerning / tracking would be the same... certainly things like
vertical text etc wouldn't be possiible.
The link you shared is very promising - unfortunately the gentleman hasn't
shared how he did that so there's no way to tell what his approach is. With
a little digging it seems they make the PDF by sending the TLF textflow xml
to a server... its possible he's using something like Weborb server (
http://themidnightcoders.com/) and have a template made for the TLF xml.
Unfortunately that sounds like too specific a solution, we wouldn't be able
to take advantage of how we meet our layout spec using FTE.
Sorry for the convoluted response - I thought I'd share more food for
thought.

Java Development issue/differences between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo (??)

Hi Everyone,
I am a Java developer that uses my 17" MBP Core Duo for all of my development. Lately, I've been trying to use both the Glassfish Application Server V2 (from Sun) and Maven 2.09 from the Apache project. I have configured identical scenarios on my MBP Core Duo and on a 15" MBP Core 2 Duo.
The scenario involves compiling and running some webservices (at least on the Core 2 Duo) in a local development environment. Both machines use the default JDK 1.5.0_13 installed on the machine.
On the 17" Core Duo, issuing a "mvn install" command produces the following error:

However, I am at a loss for what is causing the issue and the Apache Maven list insists that there are developers that are using Maven successfully on OS X.
I really need to get past this issue, but I am at a loss. Please help.

Subreport preview issue differences between VS 2008 and VS 2012

I have a report that contains a subreport which source is a report already deployed on the report server. In VS 2008, when you do a preview the data in the main report displays fine and you get an error on the subreport. In VS 2012, when you
try and do a preview, the entire report displays a processing error. Why do the VS versions behave differently when it comes to displaying any of the data? Is there something I can do in VS 2012 to have my main data display?

Hi DBAlicious,
I already taken a sample test in my visual studio 2008 and visual studio 2012 environment, the result is that the main report displays fine and an error displays on the subreport when we preview the main report. The only difference is that subreport always
displays “Error: Subreport could not be shown” in VS 2008, while the subreport displays error message based on the specific exact error in VS 2012. But we can see the detail error message from Error List Window in those two versions.
In your scenario, I think the reason is that there are some errors in the main report, so the entire report displays a processing error. We can directly preview the main report without the subreport to test the main report. Or use the same project in those
two versions to test the issue again.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

What's the difference between classic and tlf text?

Tried doing some googling, and beyond some non-descript answers of TLF has more functionality and causes a lot of bugs I can't find the difference between the 2.
Wondering if I should switch all my text boxes to classic, if it would save some resources.

Been fiddling with classic text, how do give it a name to edit it in code? There are certain aspects of TLF I am using like to display stats of a selected object or change it's backgroundColor. For the most part I can recreate the functionality I'm using through other means, but how do I update text if it doesn't have a name?
(added)
Found how to do it, needed to change it to dynamic. Thanks again for the help.

Capital letters in artist name. Difference between ipod classic and iPhone

My ipod classic knows that "Peter Gabriel" and "peter gabriel" is the same artist. But the iphone distinguishes between the 2. This is a really annoying "feature". How come it's different? My wishlist for a iOs 4,1,1 update would be for this feature to be disabled so capital letters does not confuse the ipod software on the iphone.

Sorry, should have said that the iPhone is a 16Gb version not 8

JButton background color on XP difference with theme classic and XP

Hi all,
I got a problem on Windows XP JSE 1.5.0_01 when trying to set the
background of a JButton (or to be more precise of a subclass of
JButton, but no override of paint or paint Component).
The button background behaviour is correct with the theme Windows
classic but not with XP Windows one. In the later case, only the
background below the button is coloured, the rest is grey: impossible
to modify the colour of the button itself.
Any idea?
F.

It did.
Thanx a lot.

All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

What is the difference between delivery date and actual goods issue date?

Hi ,
Can you please tell me the difference between Delivery date and Actual goods issue date ?
Delivery data can be be greater than goods issue date?
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Delivery date means its the original date on which the delivery should be done.Actual goods Issue date is the date on which goods to be delivered according to the purchase order.There can be delay in the delivery so we maintain 2 objects.
Yes delivery date can be greater than Goods Issue date.
Hope this clears

Difference in GR price and goods issue price

hi all,
we are facing problem in difference in goodsrecipt price and goods issue price.
material is maintained with moving average price.
we do GR (101) for full month and the last day we do goods issue for some quantities. (201 mvt type)
while chekcing the material price, goods issue price is less than the goods recipt price.( total value / total stock )
what is the possibilities of the difference and where we can identify the changes.?
price also not updated through MR21.
regards,
Vinay

hi vinay,
Please check the order prices for the material. Are you purchasing the material from a single vendor or multiple vendors? What is the price that you have maintained for each vendor in the info-records? If you have maintained different prices, the valuation of your material will keep changing with each GR since your material has price control V. During GR, the P.O. price is taken. During GI, the Moving Average price is taken from material master. When you do the goods issue at the end of the month, the Moving average price AT THAT POINT OF TIME is taken for posting to the Consumption Account / Stock Account. Hence, you will have a difference in the GR / GI values. I suggest, after every GR, you go to MB03. Check the material document and the accounting document. Alongside, look at the Accounting View of the material and note the M.A. price. When you do the GI, note the M.A. price.
Revert back if not clear.

Rahul.

Possible iPod Classic and Oracle Netbeans/Java Issue

I recently lost all the music from my iPod Classic and was unable to restore from iTunes or reset to factory defaults. The iPod showed a large amount of disk usage but no music, video, photos, etc. and it took forever to connect to my Windows USB port. After battling this and trying tons of ideas on the net, the Apple Store had to reformat the device from a Mac and reset the drive. Today I just had the same issue and I think the issue was caused by Oracle Netbeans and/or Java being loaded to my desktop. Both times I had this issue was after downloading Oracle NetBeans for a development tool. Has anyone else seen this issue?

1. How likely is it that Apple will fix this issue with future firmware releases?
No-one here could even hazard a guess. We're just users like yourself. Do Philips claim this DVD player is compatible? Isn't it the responsibility of the makers of the DVD player to ensure it works with the Classic?
2. Are other 3rd party devices (i.e. Docks, Automobiles, etc.) affected by this firmware release?
Yes. Almost all older 3rd party accessories don't work with the Classic. There have been many posts about such issues both here and other iPod forums.
3. Is there any way to go back to firmware release 1.0.2? I know backing off firmware releases is possible with the iPhone.
This may be of help but you have to have the previous version still on your computer.
Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
In Windows XP but I think it's found in "Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
Then restore the iPod.
You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

Hi
Enhancement of new general ledger flexibility, that is you can enter user-defined fields and update the corresponding totals (Profit Center / Segment / Region). Many standard reports can evaluate the information from the user-defined fields.
Due to the new document splitting function (Online Split) you can create financial statements, if required, at the company code level as well as for entities, such as the Profit centers / Segment.
Using the u201CDocument splittingu201D function (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for further entities such as the profit center . The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
There are no longer any time-consuming reconciliation tasks between FI and CO for the end of period, since in real-time in Controlling, the system transfers cross entity processes into the new general ledger.
Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI from the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
Display of receivables and payable's per profit center real time ( if document splitting is active).
Detailed information for the setting the Profit Center accounting in the New General Ledger:
Define the update of the characteristics u201CProfit Centeru201D and u201CPartner Profit Centeru201D in the ledger by selecting the scenario u201CProfit center updateu201D.
Define the field u201CProfit centeru201D as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting.
Set the u201CZero balanceu201D indicator again for the added field u201CProfit centeru201D and you therefore have to create balance sheets on the profit center.
Activate the required entry field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings.
EC-PCA Profit Center Accounting u2013 Profit center accounting forms an interface between the operative controlling (CO) applications and the Enterprise Controlling (EC) module It reflects the actual and plan postings from operative controlling and settlements components with which it is in targeted in real-time. It then summarizes this data according to profit centers, which reflect the internal structure of areas of responsibility within the company code

ID to PDF Postscript Issue

Having an issue with printing to postscript from ID for a book cover according to the following specifications required by our printer:
in the Print dialogue box's Color Management section, the Option Color Handling field should be set to "Let InDesign handle the colors" and under Printer Profile, "Document CMYK - US Web Coated" selected.
However, what I see in the Color Handling field is a choice of "No Color Management" or "Postscript Printer Determines Color" instead of the above.
If I return to the Output section and change it from "Color: Composite Leave Unchanged" as directed by LSI to "Composite CMYK", then it becomes possible to have the recommended choices back in the Color Management section ("Let InDesign handle the colors" and under Printer Profile, "Document CMYK - US Web Coated" selected.)
Perhaps this has something to do with the cover's design which utilizes only rich black and white?
Please advise. Thanks.
Appreciatively,
Luca
And the PDF from my end doesn't appear to have quite the deep blacks when compared with ID's, biut this could be the screen.
I've analyzed with the Output Reader in Acrobat, and all blacks are showing as 100% and white as 0%.

First off, are you using Rich Black on the cover, or only 100% K black? That makes a huge difference in the output (and cost). Rich Black is a four-color mix that is darker than you can achieve with 100% K alone. Earlier we were discussing how to make this output to black ink only (and that will not look as dark in print as a rich black). I had advised you to set the Appearance of Black prefefence to output all blacks as rich black for printing to PDF using composite grayscale, I probably also should have told you to set it to display all blacks accurately ID to render 100% K somewhat lighter than real rich blacks, so if you haven't done that on your own, it would probably account for the differnce you see on screen inthe PDF and ID.
If you are using RICH black, you don't want to output as composite gray, and the setting for outputting blacks becomes irrelevant. It also becomes irrelevant IF you output to composite CMYK or Composite Leave Colors Unchanged AND the only color on the page is [Black] or some tint of [Black] (i.e any art is either bitmap mode or grayscale, or CMYK with empty CMY channels) and anything added in ID uses only the [Black], [Paper] or [None] swatches AND you do not add automatic printer marks. In that case you will generate a PDF with nothing in the CMY channels, and a digital printer should recognize it as black-only. For traditional press the printer will simply not output the blank plates.

Differences between B2B IPCUI and CU50 IPCUI?

Dear all.
We have SAP ERP 6.0 installed with integrated IPC in VMC running. On another box we have NW 7 with E-Commerce 5.0 and TREX 7.0 and MS ISS 7.5 running.
We have two scenarios:
Scenario 1: http://host:port/b2b/b2b/init.do
After a logon a shop list appears. After going into a shop, navigating through the catalog and choosing a configurable product, the IPC UI gets displayed.
Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50
After choosing the same configurable material as in scenario 1 and running it through the IPC, the IPC UI gets displayed.
The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T.
But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
Or is there maybe a difference?
What I also do not understand is:
Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
Thanks and regards
Stefan

Your Scenario 1: uses IPC-SCE (Configuration Engine) for runtime configuration of a configurable product. This uses the IPC as the runtime engine for configuring the product. The IPC UI (along with appropriate Java application) helps you render the design and get your input.
Your Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50 uses the classical Variant Configuration LO-VC module of the SAP R/3 (ECC 6.0) system. The SAPGUI Variant configuration screens don't use IPC at any instance.
The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T. But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
It is very likely that you are seeing the default behavior of CU50 set elsewhere. Try changing the XCM setting and see if CU50 display property changes.
My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
Not correct.
See more detailed functional differences between IPC-SCE and LO-VC at this link Comparison of SCE and R/3 Variant Configuration.
Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
Technically they are two different applications for use in different contexts. ../ipc/ for both design time and runtime of product configuration. This is what actually controls the IPC UI appearance in the web. The ipc component in the ../b2b/ application is for picking up the right configuration type that is defined in XCM of the _ipc application _.
Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
Probably, this was "intuitive" by SAP standards, so they don't have any documentation for developers who don't work in SAP.....
(1) Define a custom configurations for application configuration isab2b and isacatalog in ipc/XCM.
(2) After making changes to ipc application (XCM) for UI settings, you have to restart the ipc application.
(3) Define custom component for application component ipcdefaul in b2b/XCM
(4) In the place of isab2b and isacatalog, input the names of the custom configurations you defined in ipc/XCM
(5) Restart the b2b application.
Hope this helps...
