Problem using image via URL

Hi everybody
I have a problem with loading images via URL into my PDFs.
I am using LCD ES2 Version 9.0.1....
I want to create a PDF which loads images from the internet but it does not work.
So far I have tried to add an image or image field to my PDF in the LCD and populate that image using the Object-->Field-->URL: palett. I put the URL in there like this http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif , tick the "embed image Data" checkbox (also tried with without that just to be sure) and save as Dynamic PDF (I also tried static) but when I open the PDF in adobe reader 9 or 10 or acrobat 9 there is no image showing. I also put the image in a subform and made that subform flowed, as well as the page itself and made the binding global.
I have the form properties - default set to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher", Default Language to JavaScript, PDF Render format to Dynamic PDF.
I also tried using JavaScript events like "form:ready ImageField2.value.#image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" as discribed here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/lc_dynamic_images.pdf but that also does not work.
What am I missing?
Any help would be great and greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks and best regards
Norbert

As far as I can tell, this use case is not allowed because of cross site references related security concerns. The form can refer to the images stored on the same server from where the PDF is served, but the images cannot come from external servers.

Flex 4.5 problem using image in Mobile Application (Android)

I have a problem using flex and mobile application...
I have an image with path = "/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg"
Simply using
<s:Image id="image" source="/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg" />
Get me an empty image on device, still using it on computer (desktop build / debug) it works fine...
I have enabled every kind of permission in the app.xml
Why I got this error?

I actually solved the problem using:
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).url;
using instead this one it will work only under windows...
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).nativePath;
I don't know if it's a bug or whatelse, but I think that the source property of Image passing a filename that start with / (/ is root for unix based OS, android, linux, ios, etc), will take is as a relative path instead of complete path...

Problems with sending via url

Hi there, I've got a problem with sending via an URL. If I send and receive something I use a method called connect. This method works well, I construct a URL, connect and receive an ObjectStream.
But as I only want to set some values in another use case I do not want to receive anything,
But it doesn't work - my servlet does not receive any request.
Could anyone please help me to solve this?
Thank you.

Mapviewer performance problem using image format FORMAT_RAW_COMPRESSED

I am using the MapViewer.FORMAT_RAW_COMPRESSED map image in my (java) map application because some features must be clickable and as far as I can work out, this is the only way to achieve this in a Java client. On my local system, running the map server in an oc4j container, this works about as fast as using FORMAT_GIF_URL and loading the image from this url. There also doesn't seem to be much difference in memory and cpu usage.
When I direct the request to a map server running on a remote Application Server the rendering time grows exponentially. The same maprequest using FORMAT_GIF_URL runs as fast as it does in my local OC4J container. The problem seems to be in "packing time" in RealWorker:
Remote AS:
Thu Jun 30 13:59:34 CEST 2005 DEBUG [oracle.lbs.mapserver.core.MapperPool] freeMapper() begins...

Thu Jun 30 15:34:42 CEST 2005 DEBUG [oracle.lbs.mapserver.core.RealWorker] [RealWorker] --------------- total time: 3150
The test server is smaller than my local system and more applications are running on the AS, generating the map takes all the available memory and cpu, but the difference between the time it takes generating a GIF image and generating a Java image of almost a factor 50 is puzzling.
What could cause this enormous difference? Any idea's about how we can analyze or solve this? What could RealWorker be doing in this packing time? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ida

Thanks for the replies!
1. Which AS version are you using? -> 10.1.2
2. Just as a test, if you restart AS (if possible) do you still get the same values? -> yes, we restarted the AS and the results are the same.
The server is indeed running low in memory. It is a 512MB machine, just big enough to run the AS. The production server will have some more, but not very much. Could I estimate how much extra memory it will need to keep a good performance when generating maps with live features? And maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't the extra load for the java image only be on the client, since that's where the image is made? On the server it's just the image data, isn't it?
I tried removing the basemap, but that reduces the loading time just with a few seconds. The live themes are jdbc themes and result in only some 20 to 30 geofeatures. Removing them from the request so only an empty image with a title is retrieved still takes about 117 seconds. Reducing the device size does reduce the loading time, so it does seem to have something to do with the amount of pixels in the image space, not with the data. Could it be that in the "packing" of the image something happens that takes a lot of memory, related to the amount of pixels?
In my situation it would be handy if the live features were also returned when the image format is not set to FORMAT_RAW_COMPRESSED, it is also possible to draw shapes onto an existing image and this would bypass the memory problems.
Thanks for any further help.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Problem using images in a button skin

So, I have a weird problem. I need to be able to see a button in design mode. My button is a custom component (a ButtonBase) with a skin. So, I left is a tiny bit of the default skin so that you can see what it looked like in design mode. Now, the paths to the images that will be used for the various states of the button are binded to strings passed from another subcomponent. There was no other way to get what we needed done, so it stays messy. Anyway, I don't get things to display correctly. Here's the code, and after an image for what I'm getting:

[/CODE]
That gives me this image:
And if I use the following code to resize it, I get this:
[CODE]
/* From the component, called from init(), which is called on creationComplete */
private function resizeEverything():void
var dummyImage:Image = new Image();
var pathToDummy:String = "assets" + upButtonPath;
dummyImage.source = pathToDummy;
thisBtn.height = dummyImage.height;
thisBtn.width = dummyImage.width;
dummyImage = null;
[/CODE]
If you have any idea what to do with this, let me know. I set the buttons to the exact height and width of the images I'm using when I first call them. I don't know how else to manage this. I want the faded white to be an exact mirror of the image, so that designers (not me) can move them around on design mode. Thank you!

Figured it out. The images I was given had large amounts of padding, and when I tried to auto-resize the buttons, Flash could never grab the image and therefore couldn't size off it, so the size of the component was forced to 0,0. It's all good now.

Please Help!-Problem using Image[ ] array

Hi everyone,
I have this real confusing bug in my code which i am not able to fix.
Image[] tmpImg = new Image[Img.size()];   /initializing an image array tmpImg
            for(int i=0; i<Img.size(); i++) {          //i require this display the image a number of times
            try{
                   icon = Image.createImage("/Icon.png");
                   im = new ImageItem("Image", icon,ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER,"image"); //using a imageItem to display the image in a form
                   form.append(im);
                   icon2 = Image.createImage("/Icon2.png");
                       im2 = new ImageItem("Image2",icon2,ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER,"image"); //using another imageItem to display the second image
                  form.append(im2);
                   if (imageValue.elementAt(i) == "availableImage") {
                       tmpImg[i] = icon; //assigning the value to the image array based on a condition from a String Vector
                  if (imageValue.elementAt(i) == "offlineImage") {
     tmpImg[i] = icon2;   //assigning the value to the image array based on a condition from a String Vector
                  } catch(IOException err) {}
       System.out.println(tmpImg[0]);
       System.out.println(tmpImg[1]);
       System.out.println(tmpImg[2]);
       System.out.println(tmpImg[3]);
       return tmpImg;
   }My problem is that when i try to print tmpImg[0], tmpImg[1] etc all the values are printed null. But the Image is created and being displayed on a ImageItem. but i am not able to assign the image to the image array 'tmpImg' which is within an if condition.
Can anyone tell me why is this so. I would be grateful
Thank You

Thank u deepspace
I got a lil' frustrated, so completely did not think that way. The code is working now
Thanx again

Problem using images of CMYK colorspace in PDF file

I am reading a PDF file that contains an image with CMYK colorspace, I am reading the image data correctly but couldn't convert it to RGB color space, as I need to display this image in my own application so please tell me how can I convert it to RGB color space or how can I display it by remaining in the CMYK colors pace. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ali

Adobe Reader will convert for display, there should be no problem if you use Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader will use the CMYK profile from the PDF, or your default profile, and will convert to your default RGB profile for display.

Change the TOC contents using parameters via URL

Is it possible to change what topics can turned on and off by passing a parameter via the url. At the moment, when I use a conditional tag, everything that is not in the "excluded" column will show up in the final WebHelp. But I would like to control what topics in the TOC show up based on a parameter. Is that possible?

Hi there
Unfortunately RoboHelp makes no provision for that. About the only way you could make it happen would be to create as many permutations as you need. For example, let's say you need six different TOC layouts. You would need to create six different WebHelp outputs and store each output in a separate folder. Each of the TOCs would be different. You would then link to the desired WebHelp output.
There is another way you might accomplish it. You could create multiple projects and gather them together using a Merged setup. You could then control what appears in the TOC by restricting access to the folders where the Merged Projects are placed. If the master TOC cannot find the folder for a Child, it will not display the Books and Pages for the Child.
Cheers... Rick

Fetch .tiff image via URL

Hi,
I am trying to fetch an image using the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class. My coding looks something like this:
TRY.
      " Create the HTTP client
      CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url
        EXPORTING
          url                = lv_img_url

          argument_not_found = 1
          plugin_not_active = 2
          internal_error     = 3.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        " Set header fields.

        "get status

        "get the response as binary data
        lv_img_xstring = lo_client->response->get_data( ).
        "close connection
        lo_client->close( ).
      ENDIF. "sy-subrc = 0
    CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
The code is working fine when the url is pointing to a .jpeg file (and removing the set_header_field part). However, with an .tiff image url it does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am using the code in an assistance class to get the xstring representation of .tiff images. The xstring is converted using IGS and finally displayed in Web Dynpro ABAP.
Thanks.

Hi again,
this is one of the questions that I would have liked to avoid posting. It turned out that my links where copied from another system and therefore there was no document/image behind the link. Unfortunately, some of the jpeg images were real in the development system and that caused the differing behaviour.
The answer is therefore that the coding posted in this question works fine with .tiff images.

Problem using image grabbing in loop

Hi,
We're currently building a machine vision application using 4 cameras at the same time and tried to implement some sort of passthru of all 4 by using a while loop with inside it a sequence to switch channels and grab the images. Somehow this only gives us completely weird images with several black lines through them. It looks like something to do with other system activity because when you move windows or use other programs it gets worse. However, that must be something I'm doing wrong, working on a P4 1.5GHz...
If someone could give me a hint or has any ideas, they would be very welcome.
Thanks

Are you reading the images from a buffer or directly from the device? It's possible you're doing software timed acquisition which is not reliable -- you are at the mercy of Windows and the software speed to properly acquire your images.
Without a small example it's difficult to determine the cause of the problem....

Problem using regex for url

Heres the problem im trying to match
<b>Heres my text</b>
and using this pattern
Pattern rnpattern = Pattern.compile(".+rel-.+html.+id=.+>(.+)</a>.+");
and I'm having to matches returned at all. Its actually pulling a full text file and running the pattern on a CharBuffer, but I dont think thats the issue. I have 2 other patterns being run the same way in the same file and theres no problem with them. I know the pattern is not optimized at all, Ive gone through about 15 different iterations of trying different combinations to try and get a match, and this is the last one I tried. the numbers in the url such as this one being 3533 change so that cant be static. And the text such as "Heres my text" changes and thats what I want to capture. If anyone could lend any assistance I would appreciate it.

Problems Using Image Processor to Resize Images

Hello,
I'm perplexed on this one.
In the past, I've used scripts in Photoshop to downsize my large Camera RAW images to an appropriate 1920 x 1080 size for subsequent export to Premiere Pro.
Worked like a charm numerous times.
Now, when I try to do the exact same thing and check the destination folder AFTER running the Image Processor routine but BEFORE bringing them into Premiere Pro, they are all 1620 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080.
This doesn't work.
I keep checking around for a little typo in the various stages but cannot find one. Any thoughts?
I recently had to reinstall Photoshop and changed one of the settings in Preferences to 32 bit instead of 16 bit. I don't think that has anything to do with this, but I wanted to mention it just in case.
Here is a screen shot:
Thanks!

(PS: I know that's a screen shot from a Mac, but I believe this issue is platform independent)

Thanks so much for your help gentlemen!
Sorry for the delay in responding. The deadline for submitting my film is fast approaching and I've had so many different things to do, all of them important.
Surely these are useful pointers you are giving me. Cropping has been unsuccessful, as has been using the Image Processor. Russell Brown was scratching his head about the failure of the Image Processor to work on this and has told me he will work on it after Photoshop World finishes.
Incidentally, thanks for the video of his on Content Aware Scaling!
I was unaware of the Alpha Channel aspect which REALLY makes it an amazing feature. Alpha Channels are slightly beyond my skill level, but not terrifying. For some reason paths and alpha channels have been a little harder for me to learn in Photoshop; I've picked up many other things rather quickly.
JM, I've tried floating a layer by duplicating it. I called that layer "THIS IS BETTER" (below). Then I tried to adjust the image canvas size as shown by the screen shot below. Is this what you were describing? I tried to change that canvas size to 1020 x 1080.
I then got a warning message about my image being clipped:
And that apparently resulted in this "clipped" image below:
Any thoughts on that particular avenue of inquiry?
Thanks for your help.

Problems using iPhoto via Screen Sharing

To deal with our family's ever-growing photo library, I bought a new Mac Mini with a jumbo hard drive. For now, I want to run this as a headless server so that whoever wants to can work with the photo library from whichever of our other Macs is handy, so I've set it up with Screen Sharing.
So far so good, I've copied the iPhoto library there and things seem to work well except for one important detail: When I try to see/edit the detail of any photo, I just get a black screen! Or rather, the iPhoto window contains a big black rectangle where the photo should be. If I touch the zoom control, the navigation mini-view shows up correctly, but I still can't see the picture itself. Oddly enough, if I look at the detail of a video, I can see the first frame (but no more than that, the "play" button doesn't do anything).
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on both machines, iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) on the server.
I realize that I can access the photo library directly from iPhoto on the "client" using iPhoto's built-in sharing mechanism, but that won't give me full control of the remote photo library.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you see the same if you're working directly on the Mini? Do you see anything in the middle of the black screen? Maybe something like this:

If so then that's an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken.
So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
NOTE: You do know that you can connect an external HD to the Mini and let the other computer log into it and access the library on the EHD for full access to the photos, right? However, doing so wirelessly is dangerous due to dropouts that can occur and if they do while the library's database file is being written to the database can be damaged. So if you're wirelessly connected between the two Macs screen sharing would be the safest way to go. If you're wired then the other method would be optimal.
