Retina support for Adobe AIR HTML

Hi,
I was suprised to find there's no retina display support for Adobe AIR (3.9).
Macs with retina displays have been around for quite some time now.
This is a crucial feature as I will not be able to use my application on my retina display.
A bug report has been opened here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3662094
Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey,
This is indeed an issue with the HTML control, however the StageWebView(true) control does support retina devices. Is it possible for you to use this instead?

Thanks,

Cache-Control and Accept-Encoding support in Adobe AIR HTML Component

I am evaluating Adobe AIR's HTML component and trying to figure out what is supported.
I built the AIR app and had it point to www.google.com
I notice that the requests to fetch JS,CSS from Adobe AIR do not include Accept-Encoding: gzip header.
Does Adobe AIR's HTML Component support Accept-Encoding : gzip header ?
I also noticed that even though the content served with far futures expiry, i.e. has Cache-Control: maxage={value} subsequent requests are being made and content is not served from the browser's cache.
I observed this accross the app restarts.
Can someone please clarify support of the two above Http headers ?
Thank you.

You might also want to check out the useCache property to see if this helps. See these links:

Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

Generated RoboHelp Packager for Adobe Air Errors

Generated RH 8 to AIR 2 help yesterday and it is working. Now I want to package the AIR file
for deployment using the RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR utility. My Finish Dialog box displays" The Adobe AIR package was not generated".
The 1st grouping of errors are: Error(DirAssist&GreenPub_Icon.Bmp): The file names should not contain '&'.
I had taken the '&' out of the .bmp name before generating the file.
2nd grouping of errors are: Warning (Acct_Password_Auth.bmp): Adobe AIR 1.0 cannot render BMP image format in HTML. Hence it is converted to png.
This is fine.
3rd grouping of errors are: Warning (Back_Office_Management\Billing\About_BIlling_Processes.htm): Adobe AIR 1.0 does not support DHTML Effects and Triggers in HTML.
This one worries me. I have DHTML effects all over the help file.

Quite. RH8 creates the AIR file for you. The packager was for RH7.

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR is GM

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR is GM now and you can
download it now for FREE from Adobe site –
http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/robohelp-packager-for-air
Adobe AIR runtime enables applications to deliver both the
benefits of server connectivity and the compelling end user
experience of a desktop application. With a seamless offline-
online experience, end-users of Adobe AIR applications can continue
to work when they are temporarily offline. RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR now enables you to publish in Adobe AIR format. Neither
of the popular help output options - CHM or WebHelp or WebHelp on a
Server provide the array of features as RoboHelp Packager for Adobe
AIR does today. That said, in my opinion, RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR is a beginning, beginning of a new revolution in help
authoring. Here is a list of what you get today
· Auto Update - Adobe AIR applications that can update
themselves when online connection is available and that can work
perfectly when desktop is offline. For example, Adobe AIR help file
created with RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR will prompt the
end-users when an update is available. With a single click, the
help file will update itself.
· Get Web 2.0 features - Adobe AIR applications can
store information locally – for example, when you add
comments to Online Help, they are stored locally and can be viewed
after you have closed the application. End users can also comment
on external pages and store the comments as part of help file.
Comments are still available when Online Help has been updated
(provided file names don’t change) or when you are offline.
· Extensibility - Unlike HTML Help which depends on the
CHM viewer, the functionality of the Adobe AIR is extensible and
customizable. For example, organizations can add branding
information to Adobe AIR help file, including icons for help file,
branding imagery on the top of the help file and so on.
· Multiple tab – never before end user experience
- Adobe AIR help file also allows you to open multiple tabs within
the tri-pane enabling multiple help topics and threads to be
navigated at the same time.
· Integrated interface to everything your end users need
- You can also add resource links to your help files –
enabling a single access point for product pages, user forums,
knowledge base, online help and external web pages.
· Multiple templates to choose from - Organizations get
to chose from several of the templates and can select a particular
skin or theme for each of these templates. With RoboHelp Packager
for Adobe AIR, there are three templates come out of the box -
Multi-Tab Accordion, Unipane and Classic Help.
· End user preferences - RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR
enables the help users to customize their help by selecting their
preferences (something they can’t do for a CHM or for WebHelp
output – which is not hosted on a Server).
· Cross Platform - Adobe AIR is cross-platform and
cross-browser, supported on Windows, Mac and Linux (currently in
pre-release).
Needless to say, Adobe AIR has attracted a lot of interest
among the help community and some of the experts believe that
within two years, Adobe AIR will be the preferred help format for
40% of all help authors.

When you are comparing this to Flash, does this comparison
extend to the requirement for each end user to install the Air
runtime on their PCs before they can access our RoboHelp system?
And that they will also get reminders to update to the latest
version of Air runtime?

TC Publisher ID for Adobe AIR - easier signing certificate?

I'm was about to go through the burning hoop that is the
signing certificate, when I found a link to Chosen Security's
TC Publisher ID for Adobe AIR. I'm having a hard time finding
any info on it other than their press release though.
Has anyone obtained one of these? Its it easier than a thawte
signing certificate?
What documents are required?

I just purchased a TC Publisher ID certificate and am a little stumped in getting AIR to publish with it.
The TrustCenter marketing site's only instructional material for this product, as far as I can tell, is a link to the Adobe docs on using certificates: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html
There's a little more info in this dev article, but not much: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/signing_air_applications_03.html
Both these resources focus on Thawte certificates as a use case, and don't mention what to do if you're using OS X and a TC Publisher ID.
In my own experience, I downloaded the cert directly to my downloads folder from the TrustCenter site. The certificate was instantly picked up by the OS X keychain. I used the Keychain Access app to export a .p12 certificate file from the keychain for use in publishing the AIR app, but I get an "Error creating AIR file: unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer" when trying to publish with Flex Builder. Without any docs to turn to, I'm stumped.
For people more experienced with keys and certificates this operation might be a no-brainer, but for somebody who is just getting into this there's not much support for the purchase-to-publish process.

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR - Beta 2 Announced

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR is now updated. You can
download the new version for FREE from Adobe labs -
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/robohelp/.
It has added a long list of novel features - first time for a HATT.
Now, besides multiple tabs, favorites, commenting and multiple
skins like Multi-Tab Accordion and Uni-pane Help, you have another
set of new features.
Designed for End Customers - Adobe AIR based Help templates
have been designed keeping in view the end customer. They have some
high-end navigation features like Mini TOC, Breadcrumbs, etc. Apart
from these capabilities, the new Adobe AIR based Help also empowers
the end customers to customize the Help. An end customer can set
their own preferences and customize Help as desired.
Compelling Rich Branded Experience- RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR provides a compelling rich user experience. It includes
templates that help authors package the same content into three
completely different styles – Multi-Tab Accordion, Uni-Pane
or the Classic Tri-Pane Help. Apart from this it also helps the
Authors brand the Help as per Corporate Branding Guidelines. It
provides support for the addition of a Company Logo and a Punch
line in the main Help window. Apart from this it also provides an
About Box in the Help that details the version, description,
copyrights, logos etc.
Auto Update -Adobe AIR based Help applications provide an
Auto Update feature using which updates can be pushed to all
installed connected versions of Help. Usually, the Help content
bundled with the application is never updated, while the web
content is updated with current feature enhancements and additional
resources. Adobe AIR based Help provides you with the option to
publish updates for your end users at a common server location. The
Adobe AIR based Help is intelligent enough to check for updates and
prompts users to apply updates when it detects a new version is
available.
Review Workflows / Personalization of Help
Adobe AIR based help files can be configured in such a way
that you can add comments to topics and publish those comments at a
common location. This feature enables a complete review workflow,
whether or not the reviewer is a part of your group/organization.
* Reviewers within your network: Reviewers can publish their
comments to an XML file on a shared folder. They can also
synchronize the comments from other reviewers on the same network.
This enable multiple reviewers to simultaneously view the comments
being made by other reviewers as they review.
* Reviewers outside your network: You can send the .air file
to these reviewers who can then export their comments to an XML
file and send it to you. You can import these comments into your
Adobe AIR application.
Apart from the rewire workflow, the feature is designed to
help an end customer personalize Help by adding comments on the
same. These comments will not be uploaded to the server, however
can be exported to a file and shred with friends over email.
New Classic help Template - A new template called Classic
Help has been added. It is named Classic because it is a Tri-Pane
Help. Apart from that it has got all the power of any other Adobe
AIR based Help template. This template has a new feature called
“How do I” that lists all the browse sequences defined
in the WebHelp. We recommend that authors design their browse
sequences in such a way that they provide complete workflow
information to end customers.
Supports Packaging of Merged WebHelp- RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR now supports merged WebHelp. If an author specifies the
WebHelp folder of a Master project, the Packager is intelligent
enough to detect and convert all referenced projects in the Master
Project. However, one needs to be careful while using this feature.
It doesn’t provide as much flexibility as Merged WebHelp. A
new Package needs to be created every time even when you update any
of the sub projects.
In Beta 2, zoom works flawlessly and search results has been
further improved.
If you have not tried the RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR,
you can download it now for FREE (Adobe RoboHelp 7 required).

What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer?

Hi,
I'm developing Adobe Air application. I need to digitally verify the application to add the publisher's name with the product. I did a little research and came to know that Symantec, Thawte, Comodo, Comodo-Tucows, Digicert, Godaddy and couple of others are doing this.
Yes. I'm talking about the Code Signing Certificate. My question is, What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer? The reason is, The native installer will have an extension .exe ( Windows ) and .dmg ( MAC OS X ).
These guys are providing certificate for Adobe Air. For instance, If the application is exported using Native Installer in Windows, The application will have an .exe extension. For this, Can I use the same Adobe Air code signing certificate or Should I go for Microsoft Autheticode ( for .exe ) certificate?
Thanks in advance.

I think comodo code signing certificate is one of the nice option to be added for Adobe Air, as i have seen comodo code signing certificate in other adobe programs. Recently i bought comodo code signing from https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/codesigningcertificate.html, to sign one of my adobe application and it works fine, you can use microsoft authenticode technology with comodo code signing.

Dear Star Traveler, Thanks for your reply. I checked out the support document link you provided but all it really did for me was reinforce the idea that I'm not thinking in a helpful manner about how iCloud operates in connection with my Mac as well as devices like my iPad. The mechanism I had used to get photos into iCloud from my iPad was that I had already had them in an album which the system labeled "My Photo Stream". I used the "iCloud" section of the iPad to turn off the iCloud and it asked if I wanted to store the photos in iCloud I think. When I answered yes, that's when the troublesome deed occurred. Luckily it did not delete any photos which I had in any other album nor did it delete any photos which I have in the main "Photos" directory nor in "Camera Roll". All it did was allegedly transfer photos which were in "My Photo Stream" to the iCloud, deleting the photo stream in the process. Naively I then thought that those photos which had been in the photo stream would then appear when I logged into iCloud and searched around. I now believe however that I never did "create" a PHOTO directory in iCloud and maybe that is why they aren't there. However, when I try to do that, I am unable to unless I have iOS 8 and/or Yosemite. Agree or disagree?? But getting back to the way I think about the iCloud, I always thought of it as an external storage back up drive which was independent of any device or computer/Mac. Now, it seems that's not the case AND even worse, files can get deleted without you knowing about it or approving the specific deletion first!! Why is iCloud not compatible with former versions of iOS and OS X??? That does not make sense to me. What would you recommend if I want greater specific control over which files get stored in iCloud and which do not?????

Adobe Air - HTML, Javascript and Threading

Hello,
I am developing an application using Adobe Air - HTML and
Javascript. What I am trying to do is to implement threading in
Javascript. I am using implementing threading in Javascript as per
this Neil blog.
Click
Here. It clearly says that this threading works only in Firefox
2.0 and I am trying to use this in with my Adobe Air, but when I
try to refer a function , it gives me error saying "unable to find
it".
I was wondering if this is the best way to go for threading
in Adobe Air HTML application or there is some other way also.
Thanks,
Jaikishan

Hi jjalan,
The yield and generator functionality is only available in
Firefox's javascript execution engine. When you are executing
javascript in AIR, it is done by the webkit and squirrelfish. Take
a look at
http://webkit.org/blog/189/announcing-squirrelfish/
If you can find a javascript library that works on safari /
webkit, chances are high that it may work in AIR.
Also, you can always do pseudo-threading via the age old
setTimeout()

Adobe air html/js - application act like a browser.

I just started in Adobe air html/js . In the current application I want to do something like this .
I want to open the urls/web pages in the application and application should act like a web-browser to them .
But with that I want to modify the opened pages a little, like add some css/js to them.
Something like when you open Web pages in Firefox and a plugin (example grease monkey scripts) modifies the displayed content .
Is it possible ?
I tried opening in iframe it works , but I cannot add my own JavaScript to the page (is there any way in air to remove cross domain strictness?).
Note: Please don't suggest that I fetch the html content of the page and add it to the app body. My app should really act as browser. (Adobe air is webkit based so I think it can be achieved)

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. The internal bug number for the issue is #2740755. The issue is currently under review and will be investigated by one of AIR team members.
Regards,
Catalin

The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

Forum support for Adobe Reader

Hi. I have Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 installed on a Windows OS. It's a nice program, in most respects, and lately it seems to be improving too. However, it is creating one very annoying problem for me. Every single time I start it up to read a pdf file, it wants to connect to the internet. This should not be happening because I have not configured it for doing so. In the menu item Edit, Prefences, Updater, I have selected the option "Do not download or install updates automatically." Also, since I have my firewall configured not to allow this action, I have to now deliberately stop what I am doing and click on buttons to deny the internet connection. To say that this is annoying, is, well, a gross understatement. How can I prevent it from recurring? Thanks.
Wouldn't it be swell if there were an option, while making a post on this forum, to be notified by email whenever I got a response. Jim dandy swell, I think, and efficient.
