Setting the page encoding with an extension

Folks:
DW CS3 on MacOS 10.6.x
I have a lot of legacy files encoded in ISO Latin-1 --and some exception cases in other encodings-- and I'd like to convert uniformly to UTF8. It's sufficient to convert files one-by-one as I work on them for other reasons, so I'm thinking of adding this via the _onOpen or _beforeSave mechanisms.
Most of the files have no header as they are headerless-html snippets that will be included by a CMS, which provides its own header . As I understand the applicable HTML standard, only one set of headers is allowed. (Is "headerless-html snippet" the best term? If not, what is?)
Here's the manual method I use:   Open a file, manually mouse to Modify --> Page Properties --> Title/Encoding to see the current encoding. Then, if necessary, change the encoding via the pull-down. Click "OK" and do File --> Save, and it's done.   Although there are no visible changes to the file content, files I alter this way seem to be detected as UTF-8 encoded by DW and by other programs. (That's a different discussion.)
It should be possible to do this automagically, or at least semi-automagically. (e.g. Alert("This file is not encoded as UTF-8. Do you want to correct this?");)
The DW CS3 API Reference gives this call:
   dom.getCharSet()
so I know how to test the current encoding.
But I cannot figure out how to change the encoding.   Am I just missing something in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 API Reference and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3: Extending Dreamweaver?   It is a huge amount of info. Or am I missing something fundamental about how DW groks html and deals with encoding?
I've looked around for example code snippets. The first step would probably be to call "dom.getCharSet()" and test the return value, but I haven't discovered anything by searching for this.
Can anyone direct me to a tutoria or reference section on changing the document encoding, or a relevant code snippet?
Note:   It seems possible that I'm generally confused about encoding and how DW handles encoding. If so, please treat this as a simple question by someone who is seeking to learn how to write DW extensions with a specific task in mind.   I've never seen any harm resulting from my manual method of setting my headerless-html snippets to be UTF-8 encoded.   If I learn how to do the same thing through the API, at least I'll have learned more about developing extensions.     I'd be glad to discuss encoding and how DW handles encoding--but that's a completely separate discussion, for another forum.
TIA,

Hi,
Insert a blank "Formatted Text" field on the far left, and shrink it down as much as you wish. Then insert your normal text field to the right of that.
I hope that helps,
Brian

How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.

How to set the page size and the margins programatically

Hello,
I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
This is a kind of usability issue also.
Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ludek,
i could solve the issue by using the follwing code.
report = new ReportDocument();
PageMargins customPageMargin = report.PrintOptions.PageMargins;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
customPageMargin.rightMargin = 1;
customPageMargin.topMargin = 0;
customPageMargin.bottomMargin = 0;
report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(customPageMargin);
Thanks for you help.

How to set the page size

Hi,
How to set the page size of a B tree node in berkeley db java edition?
thanks.

The two systems have different performance characteristics. If you are concerned with the performance characteristics, then the best way to tell is to benchmark them.
By the way, both BDB and BDB JE are B-trees.

PDEXGroup to set the Page Group ColorSpace

Hello,
I'm currently trying to add an Image into a PDF (that's the only content) but as I read on previous threads I'm trying to get a correct rendering when there is an alpha (channel/mask) in my image.
To do so I first create an Image (PDEImageCreate) then I create the Alpha mask and apply it to the first image (using PDEImageSetSMask).
The problem is now my image is too dark in "Acrobat Reader" and is correct in Evince. So I guess my problem is Acrobat try to blend in CMYK but my source image is in RGB.
But I don't really understand how I should/could specify that ? I tried in the Resources of the Page, and then I tried the PDEXGroup, but how can I add my XObject to the PDEXGroup ?
Am I on the wrong track trying to set the Page ColorSpace ?
Thanks in advance.

Following your indication I re-read the paragraph relating to Transparency group. starting with the 11.4.7.
All of the elements painted directly onto a page—both top-level groups and top-level objects that are not part of any group—shall be treated as if they were contained in a transparency group P
My main question here is how do I get access to this "group P" ?
Because I didn't found how, I searched "how to specify a blending" which leads me to paragrap 11.6.3
11.6.3    Specifying Blending Colour Space and Blend Mode The blending colour space shall be an attribute of the transparency group within which an object is painted; its specification is described in 11.6.6, "Transparency Group XObjects."
Ok so how to define a Transparency group is in 11.6.6 (still my original question)
Summarized : a transparency group is a specialized form XObject with a Group entry in its dictionnary. (Group with subtype "/S /Transparency") Also a Page may have a Group entry (some entries in this dictionnary may be interpreted differently when in a Page group).
So (again) I looked at the right paragraph to make a Group 8.10.3, "Group XObjects".
This paragraph finally describe what the CosObj should look like I expect it to be something like :
6 0 obj                                % Form XObject
   << /Type /XObject
      /Subtype /Form
      /FormType 1
      /BBox [ 0 0 1000 1000 ]
      /Group <>      /Matrix [ 1 0 0 1 0 0 ]
      /Resources << /ProcSet [ /PDF ] >>      /Length 58
    >>stream
endstream
endobj
But alas my main concern is still here, how do I add a PDEImage in a PDEGroup or PDEForm or CosObj and then overwrite the Page content with this new content in order to change the default Blending ColorSpace ?
You said to use the Cos API but what the Cos Object should look likes when the Color Blend Space is correctly set ?
Below there is some code sample that I used to get this working.

Why did TB set the char encoding for a reply to charset=UTF-16LE ?

I got a message from Google AdWords in HTML format and wrote a reply. When I sent it I got a timeout trying to send it. I use AVG antivirus to scan outgoing messages using a "local server" at address 127.0.0.1.
Note that this was my second reply to such a message from AdWords. The only thing I could see that was different was a longer subject line (ending with three periods or dots) and a longer HTML message to which I was replying.
I tried many things to fix the problem and I cannot remember them, sorry.
Finally, I got success after truncating the message and the long subject line. The reply was sent instantly, as usual, instead of timing out.
But it wasn't really success. When I looked at the sent message, the characters in my reply (only) were in Chinese. Looking at the raw (source) message, I see that the charset was set as follows: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-16LE; format=flowed .
This seems like a strange charset; nowhere in my settings do I specify anything other than Western (ISO-8859-1).
I finally was able to send the message successfully (I think) by using Options > Character Encoding > Western (ISO-8859-1), which seems to force the message to be sent using this standard encoding instead of Little Endian.
What caused this problem to happen? Is there a TB overflow bug for long subject lines?
I realize that TB is an old and unsupported product, but it seems to be the only good email client to use with Windows 8, so I'm just hoping someone knows something about this.

I'm getting mad... The file (on the disk) is still not encoded in UTF-8
but ANSI.

How to set the charset encoding dynamically in JSP

Is there any way to set the charset encoding dynamically in a JSP
page?
we are using weblogic 6.1 on HP unix.
is there some way we can set the charset dynamically in the page directive
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=Shift_JIS" %>
and in MAET tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="Shift_JIS">
Saurabh Agarwal

Dear Saurabh,
I guess it is possible. Here is an example I have made some time ago :
In my html page :
<form name="form1" METHOD=POST Action=Lang ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" >
<p>
<select name="code" size="1">
<option value="big5">Chinese</option>
<option value="ISO-2022-KR">Korean</option>
<option value="x-euc-jp">Japanese</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-1">Spanish</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-5">Russian</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-7">Greek</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-6">Arabic</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-9">French</option>
<option value="ISO-8559-1">German</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-4">Swedish</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-8">Hebrew</option>
<option value="ISO-8859-9">Turkish</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<textarea name="entree_text"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" >
</p></form>
and in my jsp :
// Must set the content type first
res.setContentType("text/html");
code = req.getParameter("code");
example = req.getParameter("entree_text");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
// The Servlet send to the Browser the informations to format the language type
out.println("<html><head><title>Hello World!</title><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset="+code+"\"></head>");
// System recover the general Character encoding
String reqchar = req.getCharacterEncoding();
out.println("<body><h1>Hello MultiLingual World!</h1>");
out.println("You have defined an ISO of : "+code);
out.println("<BR>This is the code of the page that is displayed in this page<BR>");
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("Character encoding of the page is : "+reqchar);
out.println("<BR>This is the character code in the Servlet");
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("You have typed : "+example);
out.println("<BR>");
out.println("");
out.println("</body></html>");
I think starting from this example it is surely easy to modify dynamically the jsp.
The other possibility would be to use the Weblogic Commerce and the LOCALIZE function, so that you'll have an automatic redirection to the right jsp-encoding depending on the customer's language.
Feel free to reply on the forum for any related issue.

Problems setting the charset encoding via jdbc

Dear list,
I would like to know if/how its possible to set the character encoding via the jdbc string, with the oracle thin driver client (classes12.jar).
Microsoft SQLserver for example supports the addition of a charset="utf-8" for example in the jdbc url.
Please could tell me how/if this is possible.
A pasted example would be much appreciated..

Im having problems with my Kids facetime accounts that seem to be because they are both using my itunes and there are conflicts with multiple email addresses? Is it possible to now set the kids up with their own accounts without losing their apps etc

Hi All,
I have my kids using iTunes via thier ipods etc through my own account and this hase been the case for some time?
This has started to cause issues lately with imessaging and facetime, as there seems to be a limit on email addresses that can be associated with one account?
I wonder if I would be best off setting the kids up with their own accounts, but want to be able to do this without them losing their existing apps, music etc?
Is this possible, if so is there a simple process cos I can seem to find anything relating to this?
many thanks, Jim

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

Setting the page orientation for a report

Hi
Currently, in infoview I have observed that we can set the page orientation for a report in a webi document , i.e. whether the report is to be viewed in landscape mode or portrait mode.
Currently, in the BO SDK, I have come across the classes like Orientation, but am not able to figure out how to use them.
Can you please paste some code snippet, how to use this class for setting the orientation of the document.
Thanks in advance,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
To retrieve the Reportcontainer for an existing report on a WebI document, you can do the following:
ReportStructure oReportStructure = oDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer oReportContainer = (ReportContainer) oReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
Hope this helps.
