PDF renderer for next release please

I would like to add to the
discussion
on the old labs forum.
AIR would be hugely more useful to me if it could display a
pdf natively. This would mean bundling a basic pdf renderer with
AIR. This needn't add much to the AIR runtime (e.g. FoxIt reader is
only 2mb).
As mentioned in the linked discussion, AIR could check for
the presence of Adobe Reader x.x and / or full Acrobat and then
make use of them if required. But the ability to simply display
(and hence print) pdf's without launching an additional application
and without worrying about what the user might have installed on
various OS's would IMHO make AIR a more wonderful thing!
Here's hoping..

The release notes state that you can display a pdf natively,
ONLY if the client has the most current 8.1 reader. Unfortunately,
I have not yet found a method for doing this, despite having the
most current reader...
Regardless, I second this proposal, and I do not understand
why Adobe would essentially leave one of the core products of AIR
out of the 1.0 release. I would have assumed that the first alpha
would have been able to not only render a pdf to the display, but
also write a pdf out to the client machine. Understandably, this
may be easier said than done, but should have been done before a
1.0 release.
Also, I do not understand why 2/3 of the release notes are
known issues many of which should have been taken care of prior to
release. I do not understand why anyone would knowingly release a
buggy product.

  • Approximate time for next release

    Can anyone at Adobe give a general idea for timing of the next release? Eg. Q4 2010, Q1 2011

    Hello out there....
    I've been waiting for someone from Adobe to answer this one?
    After lots and lots of great feedback and suggestions from this forum, can you give us hint of when we might see some of them, pretty please?

  • Suggestion for Next Release - Dynamic Column Widths

    Is it possible for the next release of xcelsius to allow the developer to dynamically set column widths?
    Appearance > Layout > Custom Column Widths - let the developer bind the values dynamically to a range.
    Thanks.

    The XScorecard (part of the XComponents @ www.antivia.com which are free to download and free to use) does exactly this. In fact it does a little more because the column widths bind in both directions, which is useful to sync two tables together. If they are bound to the same column width cells then even if the end-user drags the columns in one table the second on changes as well. If there are things that the XScorecard does not do which you need it to then leave a comment and I will see how difficult it would be to add.

  • More items for next release

    I read that another user would like to be able to alphabetize their bookshelves and I could not agree more.  But I have one other request.
    When you load a book you don't have the option of changing the title or the author.  No complaints about that - EXCEPT - not all publishers follow the same format of last name first, first name last.  Even from the same publisher a different format could be used.
    I end up with books by the same author that I cannot get sorted into the same general area in my library unless I make bookshelves.
    Bookshelves don't alphabethize.  So, it can end up being a mess.
    Furthermore, titles don't take into account that a certain book is from a specific series.  So, it is difficult (if not impossisble) to arrange things in a way that is meaningful, even if the author name is formatted identically.
    Can you add allow me to add and hide columns in the library? I would want to be able to add my own data in these fields. This way I can sort by author, series or some other key word that is relevant.
    Another option would be to allow for sub folders within the bookshleves.  That would be great too.
    Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Cozworth

    Thank you for the feedback.  Making the Library better in general is certainly one of things I am looking forward to working on in the next release.

  • Subpixel pdf rendering for evince

    Here is a simple patch for evince to enable sub-pixel rendering of pdf files.
    First you should replace cairo with either aur/cairo-cleartype or aur/cairo-glitz-cleartype,
    otherwise you will get ugly color fringes on your glyphs.
    Then unpack the source with makepkg -o.
    Edit the following patch. (e.g. some people might want  CAIRO_SUBPIXEL_ORDER_VRGB
    intead of  CAIRO_SUBPIXEL_ORDER_RGB. You can also choose different hinting styles:
    CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_SLIGHT,  CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_FULL or CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_NONE.

    Yeah I tried mupdf, its rendering is actually worse.
    I tried different computers and distros btw, it all looks the same no matter where and what I used. So I figure, there's nothing wrong with my config, it's just (currently?) not possible to have a better rendering without using acroread. Maybe I'll stick to it, but it's a pain in the ass to "maintain" as it's 32-bit and only in AUR. Also not open. And, even worse, adobe.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Logic wish list for next release

    Cosmetics may not be important for some but for the rest of us it is.
    When I work with PT9 or DP7 I am amazed how beautiful they look. It makes it so easy and pleasing to work with them. BUT I like Logic Pro better for everything else so APPLE if you read this MAKE LOGIC PRO WITH THEMES (COLORS CHOICES) OR SPECTRUM CHOICES AS IN PT9 and DP7 . IT MAKE LIFE BETTER WHEN YOU WORK 10 -12 HOURS A DAY ON PROJECT.
    The Dark gray color In Logic is nice but boring. Other competitor are cathing with a pleasing environment.
    DP7 is a wonder and EM choices of DAW for 2010 Cosmetics are important to.
    Thanks:-)
    ED

    meh ... color themes I can live without.
    here's something I've been wishing more and more for though:
    * bounce by markers
    Say you've got a whole show tracked. You run through and you set markers on each of the songs. Maybe you run through again and set some automation while you're mixing etc.
    Now you just need to bounce each song out and set the ID3 tags etc.
    What'd be super nice would be a bounce by markers button that just starts at the beginning of the project and bounces each marked section and labels it with a track number and the title of the marker.
    I also vote for "flex pitch" ... that's highly marketable and good to have.
    And also Mainstage as a software intstument in logic would be AWESOME.

  • Suggestion for next release of TM

    Hi
    I hope Apple takes up this suggestion or someone tells me I have been doing something wrong.
    I have a 250GB external hard drive which I use for storing movies I make. I want to allocate half my 250GB to TM. I don't want to reformat my external drive with its current moves and set up 2 partitions.
    It would be nice if in System Preferences one had the capability to allocate a % of the external drive to TM.
    Hopefully fixed in next update.
    Regards

    I don't think you really understood my post.
    To do such a thing would be to put your data in danger.
    As TM changes how the file system (the thing which keeps track of your files and so on) works it would be unsafe to promote such a behavior you wish for. And by giving the option to set a limit on how much space TM may use on a partition Apple would in some way promote this dangerous setup.
    But on the other hand such a thing could be useful if you were to have several computers with TM to use the same partition.
    My point is that Apple will probably not implement your request as it would be more dangerous than helping, in most of the cases were it would be used.

    I think new installer should provide an option to install the product as if it is extracted from a tar file:
    - no packages are installed
    - no changes in registry
    - no root privileges are needed
    - the product is completely installed under one directory,
    so it is easy to uninstall this version - just remove one directory.
    This installation is a very convenient way to try a new version without affecting any existing installation.
    Thanks,
    Nik

    Hi DaLy
    Sure, I'll be happy to try. However, all I really know about
    it is what has been relayed to me over the years. I have no idea as
    to how accurate it is or isn't.
    I've been told that because Adobe (and formerly Macromedia)
    are publicly traded companies, they have to be extra careful in
    divulging any information that could impact the sales of their
    stock. However, I balance this with the fact we regularly see
    Microsoft (Who, unless I'm mistaken is also publicly traded)
    divulgiing assorted features and whatnot.
    I've also heard from time to time that it's more of a
    "competitive edge" thing. Where if Company A divulges features in
    progress, competitors may be able to somehow use this against
    Company A by bringing their own software to market sooner wth the
    features in place.
    So I have to look at this and rather assume it simply comes
    down to the company choice.
    Cheers... Rick

    I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
    So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
    Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
    1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
    2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
    I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.
