Problems using ECL Viewer to display multipage TIFF Files

Hey there!
Maybe someone here may have a good hint due to our problem?
The Situation as it is:
We are using ECL Viewer to display multipage TIFFs.
The Process looks like following:
The first step is to show a list of files situated in the user's personal folder(Network-Share).
Then the user selects one of these Files through a mouse-click -> The File is displayed via ECL Viewer.
Now the user selects the personal-Id where this file should be connected to and selects "SAVE".
The Programm closes the Viewer and saves the Data in SAP Archiv.
>> Everything works fine till here.<<
But now the last processing-step would be to delete this file from the user-folder.
(So next time the users starts it there will be only files he/she has to work on...)
Here an error message is telling us that the file can not be deleted because there s some kind of file lock set...
This problem only occurs only during processing multipage-Tiffs after paging down (swiching to page 2,3,4...) once at least.
Any Idea what's the cause here - or how to get through it?
We are using a CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER objekt as base -> hooked on that is a CL_GUI_ECL_VIEWERBOX and the TIFF itself is displayed wit an I_OI_DOCUMENT_VIEWER objekt.
Maybe we get confused while destroying the "Connections" to the FIle oder something with Automation Queue Handling is not implemented right?
Thanx for any idea, hints, or better practices
Very kind Regards from Austria!
Daniel

Redlining layers cannot be saved using ECL Viewer

Hi,
I am having an issue saving redlining layers using ECL Viewer. When clicking the save button I get the an error message saying the file cannot be checked in. Storage categories have been setup. User has the correct authorization objects. A category for markup has been defined.
Any ideas on why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Lashan

Thanks Sam. I will check on implementing the note.
I have done further testing on this and my findings are as follows.
1. The error message "Error while checking in and storing:" described above only happens for AutoCAD (*.drw) files.
2. I tried redlining using the viewer for PDF and JPG files in SAPGUI and the layers are created. No issues here.
3. When try the same thing using EasyDMS, the redlining layers are created. However, I am prompted to create a new DIR with *.cgm file. If I cancel this and open the PDF or JPG again the layers are still saved.
Any ideas on why the above is happening? What is the correct behavior for the redlining functionality?
Thanks,
Lashan

Cant view multipage tiff files in browser after updating ITUNES

I can't view multi-page tiff files in my browser after updating Itunes. I am not sure why an Itunes update would stop the viewing of Multi-page Tiff files, but it did!
Is there a fix for this?
thanks

That's unfortunate. Are you stating that you have no backup of your media which is ultimately your responsibility?
Sorry, but if you have lost media and data and have no backup then the ONLY place to place blame is with the user that failed to backup those files.

Opening multipage TIFF files in Safari

I regularly need to be able to open multipage TIFF files located on a website. Safari wants to use the Quicktime plug-in to open these files, but that only makes the first page visible.
According to an article on the support site, Preview in OSX 10.4.3 and later should be able to open a multipage TIFF. However, even with 10.4.8 installed, Preview only opens the first page - the same as Quicktime.
I did discover that ColorSync does allow me to view multipage TIFF, but I then discovered that the website I'm using doesn't offer me the option to save the file to the local machine.
It is a client's application which has been designed for Windows machines and I am reluctant to risk asking them to change the application just for my sake.
So I seem to be stuck - I can't get Quicktime to show more than the first page; Safari doesn't seem to offer me the option of using anything else; and I can't download the files so that I can use ColorSync.
If anyone has any suggestions of how I can resolve this problem I would be very grateful.

When viewing the page does the link to the .tiff file appear as a clickable link?
Right-click (Control-click) and save it to your machine.
Open it in Preview.

Display a tiff file

I have a 20-page document scanned as a tiff file, then saved into database as a blob. When I use 9i form to display this item, only first page shows up.
Can anyone tell me how to display the entire document in 9i Form?
Thanks in advance!

Multi Page tiffs are not supported by Forms. - See posting

Splitting multipage tiff files?

Hi,
We have a webdynpro application that retrieves documents from the SAP backend.
These documents are mainly multipage tiff files that need to be splitted into single pages and finally be saved in the backend.
Any creative ideas how to tackle the issue?
Thnx
MK

Michael, welcome to these discussions.
Use the "Open Image Sequence" (File menu).
All of your .tiff files must be sized the same dimensions and be named in series (1.tiif, 2.tiff, 3.tiff, etc.).
They must all be in one folder.
Highlight the first image in the list and hit the "Open" button or enter key.
Pick a "frame rate" and click "OK" button or enter key.
QuickTime Pro will then assemble your "movie" from your .tiff files.

One problem about ECL Viewer options

We marked the checkbox - Greyscale 24bit(for TIFF) to get a better picture quality in ECL setting(options->colors), but seems the ECL-Viewer cannot memorize this setting when closing the document and reopening, the viewer still has bad quality again and the user has to set the checkbox again and again,
1> Is there some possible ways to let ECL remember and load the setting everytime when the document opened???
2> After debug, seems when marked the checkbox Greyscale 24bit(for TIFF) the sap run below codes, but when open the documents for the 1st time, below codes are not readed, so if it is possible to add below into program when 1st loading??
call method this_viewer->set_greyscale_color with quality = 3
Thansk a lot for the help!

Hi,
I would recommend you to install the latest available ECL Viewer version 6 which offers a better display quality of TIF files from the beginning.
At the moment the ECL Viewer version 6.0 is not put to the SAP Service
Marketplace. Please use the following link to download the installation
files for ECL Viewer 6.0:
https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=XV6Y7FZ99OO7W2DZA0
Y8EG3T2FUZIK15GWE6P8APR2SL1CANGZ
Before you install the latest Viewer version please uninstall the
current version 5.1.3. To check if the ECL Viewer is un-installed please
search for WebViewer2d.dll file. If it is present then it means ECL
Viewer is still installed on your PC. You can also check the folders and
should be able to see all the dll's for ECL Viewer such
WebViewer3d.dll/Printing.dll etc to make sure that there is not only
single file but the whole installation. Generally there are two
possibilities to un-install the ECL Viewer:
- Uninstall the version integrated with SAP GUI by using SAP
Installation scripts. You need to uncheck the 'EAI Viewer' component in
'General Add-on' option.
- Check add/remove program and if there is an entry like SAP Viewer,
uninstall it.
After this search again, and you should not get WebViewer2d.dll file on
machine. Now reinstall the latest Viewer version 6 again please. At the
moment the ECL Viewer 6 is only available as a stand-alone installation
and therefore please check if you do not install any former ECL Viewer
version by the SAPGUI.
Kind regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for usefull information.

Hi Winamp 7,
please check if you have installed the ECL Viewer properly. Please see the SAP note 1083901 and install the latest available version 6.
Before I would like to ask you, to uninstall your former ECL
Viewer before you installed Version 6? To check if the ECL Viewer is
un-installed please search for WebViewer2d.dll file. If it is present
then it means ECL Viewer is still installed on your PC. You can also
check the folders and should be able to see all the dll's for ECL Viewer

Problem using iTune Cover Flow display

Previously iTunes "Cover Flow" allowed me to view album convers.
Now it displays: "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
I am able to see album covers in "Album List" and "Grid" displays.
Any ideas?

After hours of frustrating experimentation, my partner appears to have found a workaround for this problem. If you have cover art not showing up at all, or showing up in the Cover Flow, but not when you turn your iPod Touch back vertically, this is what to do. If you view the info on a single file in iTunes, you'll notice the cover art sits in the middle of the screen in the Artwork view. What you need to do is create a blank 200x200 72 resolution image file (I don't think these paramaters must be exactly as noted, you just need a square, blank image file). Then add this blank image as a second image to the album that won't display its cover art. Afterward you should have the original artwork on the left half of the display and the blank part on the right. It won't work to just use the slider to get the original file to the left by sliding the slider one place to the left, because once you exit it just puts the picture back in the middle again. You have to add a blank image file. (In fact, the second image file doesn't even have to be blank, if you just want to use another album image file you have.) Once you have the artwork you want displayed fixed to the left half, everything works fine.

Problem with Ecl Viewer

Hello friends,
                    I am working on a program for 3D image rotation. The .stl file is opening properly and I am able to rotate it.
                    Now my problem is when I use the redlining feature,I am able to add a comment on the image but when i click save button provided in the toolbar the file gets saved with .xxx and .vpl extension.
                    What i want is when i add a comment on the image and save it,the comment should appear again when i open the file next time,but currently this is not happening.
                    How to do this ????

Can you upgrade the ECL viewer to version 6.0 and check whether the same problem still exists? you can download from service.sap.com

Cfdocument - using cf7 - displaying .bmp & .tiff files

I'm using CF7's cfdocument tag (with no hope of upgrading to
CF8 anytime soon). I'm generating PDFs and not able to display .bmp
or .tiff files in the PDF. This was a known issue in this version.
-Has there been a fix, hotfix, or scheduled fix?
-Is there a workaround?
Thanks -

You might take a look at iText. It is what cfdocument uses
behind the scenes. It is not as simple as using cfdocument, but it
should be possible.

Preview.app and multipage tiff files (page number)

I scan completed job folders at my company and store the resulting files on a server for users to access. They are a multipage .tif format which is basically a fax file format that is very common among document scanners.
Preview is pretty good at viewing these except I am stuck with two problems.
- 10.4 Preview will only show the first 250 pages of a file.
- 10.5 Preview will show many more pages which is good, but it gives NO WAY to know what image number you are looking at!! (preview 10.4 shows image numbers under the thumbnails, but the 10.5 version for some mysterious reason does not).
So if you are looking at an image near the middle of a 500 page document, you have no idea what image number it is, and you basically have to click the little arrow on the print box until you get to that page (which can be hard to tell because you are looking at a small thumbnail of the page). It's completely unusable.
Now before you tell me "yes it does show the page numbers in the thumbnail view!!!" let me remind you that I am not viewing PDFs. Yes, for PDF files the page number is right there all nice and handy. But for these multipage tif files, no page number for you!!!
Hah, update! I have just discovered that with very short file names, you can see the image number, because Preview 10.5 appends the image number to the end of the file name on each thumbnail.
So you can see: myFile.tif-389 on page 389's thumbnail.
But if your filename is much longer, you see: myLongerFile... with no way to see the image number.
I don't even know where to complain about this. Any ideas welcome.

Multipage TIF is not common at all. Why not just save these files as PDF? Any modern scanner software should be about to generate PDF files. They won't be any larger than the TIF files and will be readable in anything with all available features.
I don't have any multipage tif files and don't even know how I could generate one. You can send your request to Apple via their Feedback page. But there is really no downside and numerous benefits to saving as PDF instead.

[Win/CS3] Problem with tree view nodes display In Release Version of InDesign

b [Win/CS3]
Hi All,
I am Facing a problem from last few days.I have a dialog on which i have a treeview ListBox.I am filling this listBox dynamically.On a Button click Event.
My requirement is to show Some text value on the node and Index value on the back end.So When i select String1 the index1 should be Selected.
b This Listbox is working fine ON Debug Version. But Crashing On Release Version.That seems Strange to me..........?????????
b in DialogObserver::Update on button click event
NodeID node = IDCGridNodeID::Create(IndexX);
treeMgr->NodeAdded(node);
b and in TreeviewMgr::ApplyDataToWidget
TreeNodePtr<IDCGridNodeID> nodeID(node);
PMString IndexNo= nodeID->GetName();
I am going to database and retrieving string value according to that
IndexNo.
WCHAR Buf[200];// this contains value retrieve from database
Then i am converting WCHAR[] to CHAR[] BY using
size_t origsize = wcslen(Buf) + 1 ;
const size_t newsize = 100;
size_t convertedChars = 0;
char nstring[newsize];
wcstombs_s (&convertedChars, nstring, origsize, buf, _TRUNCATE);
PMString StringToDisplay(nstring);
//Till here its working fine
But when i am setting this value as Node name
style.Translate();
setNodeName( widgetList, StringToDisplay, kIDCTVTextWidgetID );
and function return kTrue; statement executed The application is crashing.
With error showing
b INdesign Encountered a problem Needs to close.
I Am not able to find out why this is not working on Release while it is working fine on debug version..???????????????????
Is I am missing or Made some changes For release version..????
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply.
The lines
NodeID node = IDCGridNodeID::Create(IndexX);
treeMgr->NodeAdded(node);
are working fine for Both Debug N Release version.The Application Is crashing In tree view manager class as i explained.
while it works fine without having even a single warning in debug version.
I read the document and i find out if i want to add node in treeview i have to call
treeMgr->NodeAdded(node);
which will call manager
b and in TreeviewMgr::ApplyDataToWidget
i am getting my node name as
TreeNodePtr<IDCGridNodeID> nodeID(node);
PMString IndexNo= nodeID->GetName();
I don't think that something is wrong in this but i am not sure becoz i am new in indesign development.
for adding nodes i referred the SDK examples.I found the same code for adding.

Problems using Restore View

Okay,
I have been trying to use Adobe Reader to read many different PDF files on many different computers. I want to restore to the last view that I was looking at.
I followed the instructions and went to "Edit...Preferences...Documents...(Open Settings) Restore last view setting when reopening documents" and enabled this.
However, whenever I reopen the document, it continually returns to the first page of the document.
I read somewhere that when files are saved it can cause it to restore to the first page, but I am only using the same document for which I (to the best of my knowledge) am not making and saving changes to. I even went so far as to disabled all the Save options, but still this did not solve the problem.
I am using Adobe Reader version 9 on Windows XP.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Eric
