Plugging values into a document for printing
All,
I have a scenario where I will have online documents. The documents themselves can be formatted in HTML so I don't have to worry about Word or PDF format interfaces, but look and feel of the layout is a big concern for me since they will be used as legal contracts.
I will have a table filled with values (i.e. name, address, email address) that I want plugged into specific areas of the document.
For example, the document will read:
<sample>
For and in consideration of the sum of #value_here# to me in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, #another_value# hereby grant bla, bla, bla
</sample>
I'm looking for the best advice on how to implement this solution, keeping in mind that layout has to be very precise.
Thanks!
if your htmldb application has items like :VALUE_HERE and :ANOTHER_VALUE, then you can refer to them in your HTML using our substitution string syntax like...
For and in consideration of the sum of &VALUE_HERE. to me in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, &ANOTHER_VALUE. hereby grant bla, bla, bla
...and that way you can make the layout as precise as you need it to be. also, even though you said you didn't need it, the thread at...
PDF file creation
...offers good pointers for generating pdf docs from your htmldb app, and better yet, improvements in this area are soon to come.
hope this helps,
raj

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family. My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with. It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time. I have many hundreds of apps. One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen. I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry. The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.
Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together. You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll. You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad. Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots. -

Error : Concatenated values used in documents for master data
Hi Experts,
I am trying to add one characteristics as compounding characteristics to my master data info object.
previously 'Document property' option was checked for the infoobject. so i unchecked it, as it was not allowing me to add the compounding characterisitcs.
After doing the changes, when I am trying to save, its throwing error as 'Concatenated values used in documents for master data'.
Can anyone please help me with what exactly does it mean and what would be the solution to remove this error.
Thanks,
Neelima

Just found the soultion...wanted to share this....
Actually one document was created on one of my opportunity values, which was not simply visible from edit menu -> documents.
Go to RSA1 -> documents -> master data -> and then give ur info object name -> will get all the documents maintained corresponding to it. Need to delete them.
Then compounding characteristic can be added to our info object.

Export database information into pdf forms for printing
I'm hoping that this is doable and isn't extremely hard.
I have an access database that contains customer information. From this information I would like to export it into an existing pdf form (for each individual customer) and save it for printing at a later time.
Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!!If you are using Acrobat 8 or above, you will want to use LiveCycle Designer.

Best way to insert 300dpi photo's into Ilustrator file for print
I am creating a 5.5 X 8 postcard style card for print. I need to place 15 photographs that are aprox. 1.5 X 2.5 each. What is the best way to insert these files so that my file doesn't become too large? I will be making a PDF of the final artwork to send to the printer. Your guidance is much appreciated!!
Link don't embed the images. Use a layered format such as .psd, .tif, or .pdf. Psd is not lossy, .tif can be lossy if you modify the default settings, .pdf you choose how much compression you want, and a small amount of compression can make a much smaller file size.
I would recomend using .psd, in cmyk color space. When you make your pdf for printing is when you will decide how much compression and which pdf preset you will use(press ready or PDF X should be a good choice). That will be your important choice. -
Insert 'illegal' characters into file name for print label?
Hey all (Happy New Year)
I actually see some people here who helped me with this originally so many years ago (hi 'x'). Any way, I'm using this .js file to annotate aerial imagery prior to printing, and I know just enough about scripting to make changes to the basic layout as needs arise - until now. A new rather anal retentive mgr doesn't like substitutions I've made for a few 'illegal' characters that windows doesn't allow in file names. For example, the file name used for the annotation is:
001 0003 1in = 660ft CFL 154_074 01-01014 503-013.tif
But Mr. mgr doesn't like the in, the ft and the use of the _ instead of a period (.) so what I need is a modification that goes something like (and note I DO NOT CODE, so stop laughing) -
"look for in and replace with ", look for ft and replace with ' and look for _ and replace with , " so the final annotation written to the image is:
001 0003 1" = 660' CFL 154.074 01-01014 503-013.tif
My current .js is below, I'd really appreciate any assistance. Thanks! TLL

alert( "You must have a document open to add the filename!" );I did some quick testing and here is what I have seen.
I went into a cygwin shell and successfully did this:
$ touch t\"est\'t.jpg
$ ls t\"*
t"est't.jpg
This means that the underlying file system (NTFS) is able to correctly encode both the ' and " characters, at least as far as cygwin is concerned.
However, from the Windows command line and Explorer point of view, the ' is OK but the " is not. The characters /\"*?<>:| can't be used in file names in Win. This means you can get the ' and . characters working but not the " character.
From the js side, the code would look like:
var x = "001 0003 1in = 660ft CFL 154_074 01-01014 503-013.tif";
var str = x.replace(/in/, '"').replace(/ft/, "'").replace(/_/, '.');
alert(str);
Which displays
001 0003 1" = 660' CFL 154.074 01-01014 503-013.tif
The string stuff is easy, but while you can save a file with ' and . you can't use " via js. You can't even do it using the PS UI manually.
I've tested and verified this. Let Mr. Mgr know that it is not possible to completely comply with his requests. Unless, of course, you upgrade to OS X : )

How do you use RGB And CMKY colours in the same document for print?
I want to create a piece of work with a navy blue back ground and a font on top but don't want to change the colour just the RGB to CMKY mode so the colour looks slightly brighter sitting on top. I have seen this printed out in black and looks amazing but don't know how to create it. Could someone please help?
Sophie,
Your File>Document Color Mode (along with the Edit>Color Settings) determines how the colours are interpreted, more specifically fitting it into the colour gaumt in question. CMYK Color (Mode) had a narrower gamut of less bright colours, RGB has a wider gamut of more vivid colours.
Your Window>Color palette expresses the colours in terms of your chosen combinations of CMYK or RGB (or a few others) values, which are then interpreted by the colour mode.
This means that you can have four combinations: you may insert CMYK values in both CMYK and RGB mode, and you can insert RGB colours in both CMYK and RGB mode.
You will find that most CMYK/RGB values will change once saved, owing to the fundamental differences between the two colour modes. -

I want to create a document for printing and when changing the cropping area data log restart
PLE
Tom,
In addition to what Monika said, the document can be either CMYK or RGB Colr Mode, but not both.
And you are right in starting with the CMYK because that will ensure (to the degree possible) that the CMYK and RGB versions match in colour (gamut, the CMYK gamut being the more linited and almost entirely included in the RGB gamut); this will prevent more vivid RGB colours which will make the CMYK colours seem duller. -
Lost folder after packaing a document for print
Has anyone had a complete folder deleted after packaging it to send to print?
And I mentioned a known problem with names changing to aliases on a network, but you didn't respond about where this folder was located, so I wasn't sure.
As Dov said, nobody has ever reported a complete loss of a folder after packaging. Since as far as we know this has never happened, we hardly are in a position to say why it happened, if, in fact that really is what happened.
You said you searched. Was that using spotlight, or did you openthe location in Finder where the folder used to be and look to see what was there? -
Phone says i need to connect to itunes but dont have a computer???
Two options. Create a guest user on the computer and there will not be any content on the "guest" iTunes. Or if unable to do that set up the iPhone as New. Do not subsequently synch the phone.
Third option is to take the phone to the Genius Bar at an Apple store. -
Can anyone help with my question above?
If you don't want to delete everything then disconnect it and use the computer that you previously synced with.
