Remove/Replace rich media elements with PDF Library?

I am embarking on a project and need to know if Adobe's PDF Library can accomplish the following...
1. Using an existing PDF file as a "template", find existing elements within the document (a rectangle, perhaps)
    and remove that element, then insert in its place a rich media element (video, U3D file, JPEG, or text).
2. If not (1), then can i create a new PDF file and insert text, video, JPEG, and especially U3D models?
Thanks,
Glenn Reid

  • Experiment Results: Removing/Replacing Projects, Media Manually

    Experiment Results: Temporarily removing Events and Projects from library
    REASON: I wanted to test removing events and especially ram-hungry projects from FCPX 10.1 to unclog the app a bit. I've been getting lots of spinning wheel time and dropdown windows saying projects unopened and unneeded were being loaded.
    METHOD: I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    Why not remove them? There seems to be hysteria about manually touching the library but no one relates an actual incident that highlights how things can go wrong.
    I copied a library to another drive and experimented by manually removing some events made up entirely of projects.
    NOTE: The projects are early versions of segments of feature length doc I most likely will never need to bring back in.
    After removing an Event that had only Projects, FCPX opened no problem and a lot quicker.
    ODDITY: Removed Events names still appeared with the twirly triangle beside them tho the event icon didn't appear and the Events were empty. I tried trashing them but couldn’t.
    I then closed fcpx and removed media. Reopened no problem. Closed.
    Returned Event folders and media to their proper place, reopened no problem. The projects were all there tho their icons were blank at first but then after a couple minutes pics started appearing in them and pretty soon all seemed normal. I opened projects, they worked, no problem.
    TO TRY?:
    Moving projects & media manually between events—This may be where things get dicey, but you could do this manually with earlier versions of FCPX. It's not something I would do normally since ti's too easy to do in FCPX. But since I have this copy I might try it just to see what happens. If you don't experiment it's  not science it's religion. And since I wasn't eaten by monsters doing the above it makes me doubt the hysteria about this. Still something I wouldn't normally do.

    Yes, I think you're right. In another discussion, a gent said his students had had corrupted files. That wasn't something I'd heard before, just the strictures against doing it.
    Ok, so I was wrong. I still have this problem with slow performance due to all appearances having too many projects (earlier edited versions of segments of feature-length doc).
    My only resort now appears to be to delete early project versions of segments (duplicates in prior versions of FCPX, snapshots now).

  • I can't export vector elements with pdf

    Good morning,
    I have a problem.
    When I import a vector element from illustrator to photoshop with drag, from an application to other, my
    results is a vector element in photoshop (vector smart object).
    If I export in PDF (save as photoshop PDF) my results isn't a vector elements, the text and shape wrote in psd
    yes but the smart object no.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    thank you very much.
    Nayaril

    There are a lot of features I would like to request, how about being able to rename a duplicate project.  Anyway, thanks for the answer.  I still can't send even a full project into compressor using the send to compressor button.  I did find I can use the export using compressor settings, then using the advanced menu I get a send to compressor button that does actually send my project to compressor.  I can then select an in and out point and render a small sellection from my timeline. 

  • Rich Media and Windows 8

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows 8.
    It looks and runs great and I think is going to have a big success.
    My first surprise is when I have opened a PDF file . By default Windows 8 reads all pdf files with a windows pdf reader applicattion. This means that if  a pdf containing Rich Media elements is opened nothing will happen. You see a "flat" pdf document.
    I am thinking about some code to alert the user that Adobe Reader is needed to see the Rich Media elements.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    The best way to ensure a PDF is opened in Reader is to use JavaScript (or more precisely, use the lack of it).
    See this post for the basics of showing a message if PS is not present, if you want to extend the idea to require a particular version of Acrobat or Reader  you can modify the JS code to check the values of app.viewerVersion. To detect if you're in Adobe products, look at app.viewerType (which will be "Reader" for Reader, "Exchange" for Acrobat Standard or "Exchange-Pro" for Acrobat Pro).
    e.g. suppose you use method 1 (a warning page at the end of the document set as the initial page number, with a JS event to move back to page 0) and your valid conditions are for the user to have Acrobat Pro, version 10.0 or later. The redirection code on the final page would be:
    if (app.viewerVersion>10 && app.viewerType == 'Exchange-Pro') this.pageNum = 0;
    Anyone opening the file in Reader, OS X Preview, or with scripting disabled, will see the warning message on your final page. Those who meet the requirements will see the first page.
    Being suitably vague and handwavey, imagine a mystical future time when Reader on mobile gains a JS  API but still cannot display Rich Media - in that case you could detect the problem directly by trying to open a reference to the RMA inside a try-catch loop - if you throw an error or get an undefined object you know something is blocking your content. The same technique can be used to detect users of Acrobat or Reader XI who've disabled Rich Media via the security message bar.

  • AR9.1 Rich Media Annotation TextInput and Backspace Key

    I've put together a test PDF see:
    http://www.amrita-cfd.org/4adobe/rich-media/shock-tube.pdf
    that shows that the backspace key does not work as expected
    for an a TextInput field in a rich-media annotation when
    viewed with Linux AR9.1; at least not with my SuSE 10.3 setup.
    There are a couple of other issues not alluded to in the test PDF:
    (i) the /Widget used to toggle the attachments pane does not work
    in fullscreen mode; (ii) the /Widget used to zoom out from
    the rich-media annotation has /Normal, /Rollover and /Down
    appearances, but only the /Normal appearance is drawn.
    James Quirk

    Hi Sandip,
    Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear that the backspace
    issue is being worked on and I'm guessing that you're
    also aware of a similar problem with the enter key?
    I agree that my non-Acrobat PDF might be deficient in some
    way and it's also possible that my user preferences are
    not quite right. But consider the following.
    I re-jigged the test PDF such that the /Widget whose /R
    and /D appearances were not activated now lies half on
    the rich-media SWF and half on the background page.
    Recall this is the /Widget that reads "Click to zoom out!",
    which appears when the SWF is activated.
    Interestingly, when I position the mouse over the /Widget
    half that lies off the SWF (the right-hand half) then the
    right-hand half does have its /R and /D appearances rendered.
    But the left-hand half, the part that lies over the SWF,
    is stuck with the /N appearance.
    Following this observation, I re-jigged the /Widget to
    print out the events its receives on the JS console.
    And it seems that the left-hand half of the /Widget
    is not getting /E or /X events, even though the
    mouse correctly changes shape, but it does receive
    /D, /Fo, /U and /Bl events. The right-hand half
    receives all events as normal.
    You can also try the following. Move the mouse over
    the right-hand half of the /Widget, such that an
    /E event is generated. Then move the mouse along
    the /Widget towards the left-hand half: the second
    the mouse reaches the left-hand half the /Widget
    receives an /X event.
    Therefore it looks like there is some inconsistency
    in the event model when a /Widget lies on top of
    a rich media annotation, or at least the behaviour
    I'm observing is not hinted at in the document adobe_supplement_iso32000.pdf which covers rich-media
    annotations.
    Anyhow, I'll send you the original PDF as you requested
    along with the modified one I describe above.
    Regards,
    James

  • PDF with rich media

    We are planning to make a School Newspaper and we would like to create it in Pages and then add rich media (audio, video QT and Flash) and export it to an interactive PDF which loads the content from the web and makes the PDF mailable. Is Pages the right program for this and which other tools should we use so we can create these professional looking PDF's you sometimes get from publications.
    Thanks for any help.

    My guess is that Pages is not the good tool.
    The doc states:
    +PDF: PDF files can be created using an image quality of good, better, or best. When the image quality is set to best, the resolution of images isn’t scaled down. When the image quality is set to better, images are downsampled to 150 dpi. When the image quality is set to good, images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without an alpha channel are JPEG compressed with a compression level of 0.7 at the good setting and 0.9 at the better setting.+
    +When you export a Pages document on a computer with Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, hyperlinks are exported. Hyperlinks are created in the PDF document for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email messages, and bookmarks.+
    +The PDF file, which preserves font characters used in the document, can be viewed or printed in Preview, viewed or printed in Safari on Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, and edited with a PDF application.+
    I assumes that to do what you wish, the soluce is Acrobat Pro.

  • Remove XML element with JAXB

    Hi all,
    does anyone knows if it's possible to remove an xml element after that element has been set ? Using only jaxb if possible and not using other technology, for example DOM.
    I explain:
    umarshall car -->setOwner("me"); setSpeed("80"); -->marshall car
    will result into:
    <car>
    <owner>me</owner>
    <speed>80</speed>
    </car>
    I would like something that for example
    unmarshall car -->remove(speed); ....-->marshall car
    would result into:
    <car>
    <owner>me</owner>
    </car>
    could someone point out a way to do that ?
    thanks in advance...

    Okay, after peering over your code and trying a few things out I see one immediate problem and one possible improvement.
    The problem lies in this:
    1. if condition is true, remove item
    2. check recursively
    The problem is .. if an item is removed, the following recursive check will always fail. However, the entire loop is wrapped into a try..catch, so InDesign will not alert you that it failed. Instead, it will continue with what's after the loop, exactly because the try..catch is around the entire loop!
    Change the loop code to this
    if((elm.xmlElements[i].markupTag.name == "http") && (elm.xmlElements[i].parent.markupTag.name == "extlink"))
        var Store_CitAttri = elm.xmlElements[i].xmlAttributes.item("c_style").value;
        if(Store_CitAttri == "URL")
          elm.xmlElements[i].remove();
           foundtext = foundtext + 1;
           continue;
    Query_Remove(elm.xmlElements[i]);
    so the recursive checking is skipped. You can also remove the entire try..catch block, as this may hide additional errors ...
    The improvement is: as I started reading this thread from the top again, shouldn't you be removing the "extlink" items, rather than just the "http" ones inside?
    If so, remove the parent of the found item (which is always the "extlink"):
          elm.xmlElements[i].parent.remove();
    -- and, as this will break the loop (because you just removed the set of elements it was working in!), replace 'continue' with 'return'.
    Hope this helps

  • Having trouble removing traits from a media element

    I am having difficulty removing a trait from a subclass of the LightweightVideoElement.  Depending on the type of video playing through the netstream, I want to remove the seek trait to prevent seeking with the chrome scrub bar.
    My problem is that when I remove the trait from the element the hasTrait method is still returning true.  To demonstrate I add a listener in my element's constructor like so:
    addEventListener(MediaElementEvent.TRAIT_REMOVE,announceTraitRemoved);
    And my function is:
    private function announceTraitRemoved(e:MediaElementEvent):void
                trace("Element --> announceTraitRemoved --> TRAIT REMOVED: "+e.traitType + " so hasTrait: "+hasTrait(e.traitType));
    The output of the function after calling removeTrait(MediaTraitType.SEEK) is:
    Element --> announceTraitRemoved --> TRAIT REMOVED: seek so hasTrait: true
    It never returns hasTrait: false for the seek trait.
    This is problematic because the chrome package ScrubBar determines if the scrubber is enabled by listening to this event in a similar fashion and using the hasTrait method, so I cannot figure out how to disable the scrub bar.
    What am I doing wrong?  If it matters, I am using 1.0gm.
    Thanks.

    Okay that makes sense.  I didn't realize the event was fired ahead of time because some of the traits were returning false for the function... but I guess it just happened to be a timing thing from being removed and added and such.
    For this case, the custom netstream "knows" if seeking is possible and skips the actual seeking part of the seek call and only dispatches events if seeking is not allowed, so I am not actually worried about the SeekTrait exactly.  I want to convey to the user that the video cannot be seeked through by "greying" out the scrubber.
    From what I understand the proxy element would just stop the seek event from hitting the netstream and would not trigger the ScrubBar to grey out the scrubber.
    How does one signal to the ScrubBar that the scrubber should be disabled?  This is the check that the chrome package ScrubBar uses when traits are added or removed:
    scrubber.enabled = media ? media.hasTrait(MediaTraitType.SEEK) : false;
    Do I have to remove the seek trait and then toggle another trait?

    can you help in this
    Thanks & Regards

    1. This element makes your XML document malformed:<removed>500</removed_ids>The name of the start tag and the closing tag must always be identical.
    http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags
    2. The type of the nodes with which you would like to replace your <Link> elements is called "ProcessingInstruction". Processing instructions are to be handled somewhat differently from elements.
    3. The string "><?dctm id ='100'?>" is misspelled. Additionally, it is meant to be a processing instruction so it should not be created as a text node.
    4. You use a node list to replace elements by means of a loop. A loop is only useful when there is a system to the data to be processed, which is not the case with your processing instructions:<?abc id='100,101' city='xxx'?>
    <?abc id='200,201' city='xxx'?>
    <?abc id='300,310' city='xxx'?>From the fact that you use a loop, I presume that the third node is meant to be <?abc id='300,301' city='xxx' ?>. If so, you can use this code:DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
    Document document = builder.parse(new File("C:\\LinkProcess.xml"));
    XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
    String expression = "//Link";
    NodeList  nodelist = (NodeList) xpath.evaluate(expression, document, XPathConstants.NODESET);
    float n;
    String piData;
    ProcessingInstruction pi;
    for(int i=0;i<nodelist.getLength();i++){
      Element element = (Element)nodelist.item(i);
      n = (i+1)*100+((i+1)*100+1)/1000F;
      piData = "id='" + n + "' city='xxx'";
      pi = document.createProcessingInstruction("abc", piData);
      element.getParentNode().replaceChild(pi, element);
      System.out.println("Element <Link...> has been replaced with <?abc " + piData + "?>");
    }This code is not ideal, but I hope is easy to understand and you will be able to change it to suit your needs.
    5. To remove an element use the removeChild() method of the Node interface. If your XML document contains "ignorable" white spaces, it's best to use an XPath expression again ("root/removed") to set reference to the node to be removed rather than locate it by position (e.g. using the getLastChild() method).

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck

  • Preprocessing xml to replace all xpath references with the referred elements

    Hi,
    Is it possible to sort of pre-process xml before querying such as we replace all internal xpath references with the referred elements?
    So below is the xml and as we see the typeId element of second app.test.module.library.Publisher element refers to the typeId element in the first app.test.module.library.Publisher element through xpath reference . Seems this is done by XStream(which we
    use for xml-java) to reduce the size of resulting xml. This is all fine and in java one can easily traverse through such xpath references, but the challenge i am facing is in sql where i use node() function to get each of app.test.module.library.Publisher
    element and fetch value of selectedText element of both the children of app.test.module.library.Publisher - (typeId, regionCode). 
    declare @publishers xml
    set @publishers = '
    <publishers>
      <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
        <typeId>
          <selectedId>101</selectedId>
          <selectedText>Book</selectedText>
        </typeId>
        <regionCode>
          <selectedId>102</selectedId>
          <selectedText>NWD</selectedText>
        </regionCode>
      </app.test.module.library.Publisher>
      <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
        <typeId reference="../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId" />
        <regionCode>
          <selectedId>101</selectedId>
          <selectedText>UWY</selectedText>
        </regionCode>
      </app.test.module.library.Publisher>
      <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
        <typeId>
          <selectedId>100</selectedId>
          <selectedText>Deposit</selectedText>
        </typeId>
        <regionCode>
          <selectedId>100</selectedId>
          <selectedText>WHU</selectedText>
        </regionCode>
      </app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    </publishers>';
    select typeId = el.e.value('(typeId/selectedText)[1]','varchar(max)')
          ,regionCode = el.e.value('(regionCode/selectedText)[1]','varchar(max)')
    from @publishers.nodes('/publishers/app.test.module.library.Publisher') as el(e)
    If you execute this, the second typeId value will be null but ideally I should be able to reach to the reference, which is typeId of first app.test.module.library.Publisher element and should be able to fetch selectedText of it, which is correct value (Book).
    In other words first two app.test.module.library.Publisher elements are of same type (Book).
    Since I am not able to find the way to do it, I thought I should have some way to process this xml to replace all such references with the referred element and that will eliminate the need to go for tedious xpath reference based access.
    Thanks

    I was able to get a result using dynamic SQL, but my guess is if you have more complicated examples it probably won't work.  I also make an assumption you know the full path of the first reference you want.  Anyway, try this:
    DECLARE @xml XML = '<publishers>
    <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <typeId>
    <selectedId>101</selectedId>
    <selectedText>Book</selectedText>
    </typeId>
    <regionCode>
    <selectedId>102</selectedId>
    <selectedText>NWD</selectedText>
    </regionCode>
    </app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <!--<typeId reference="../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId" />-->
    <typeId reference="../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId" />
    <regionCode>
    <selectedId>101</selectedId>
    <selectedText>UWY</selectedText>
    </regionCode>
    </app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <typeId>

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
