Transparent Application in a PDF

I am trying to set the Application tag to transparent. As far as I understand it there is no way to do this. I have tried setting the backgroundAlpha, but this does not work for mx:Application. It seems that there are some settings that allow this if you are developing an AIR app (WindowedApplication). Also if you are designing a web app you can set the wmode in an html tag. I have even tried setting the background image to null or space or to a transparent PNG. I need a way to accomplish this because I am embedding my SWF in a PDF, and thus cannot use the methods mentioned above. Has anyone been able to do this? Workaround?

The wmode stuff works pretty well just embed the html page containing your Flex App,

Error while downlaoding smartform into Application server in PDF format

Hi friends,
I am downlaoding Smartform to Application server in PDF format. getting below dump while executing
OPEN DATASET p_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
TRANSFER i_tline TO p_filename
CLOSE DATASET p_filename.
if i add " IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS " after ENCODING DEAFULT then i am not getting dump and pdf file is creating but i am not able to see LOGO in SAP Application server ( downlaoded back from application server to my pc and checked it).
DUMP:
here i am getting dump saying that : You cannot convert the character set
Runtime Error          CONVT_CODEPAGE
Exception              CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE
What happened?
While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '4110', one of
the following occurred:
- an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
the two code pages;
- the system established that this conversion is not supported.
2 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
If 2 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi
I think some basis related configuartions to be done
Try like this and inform me
A cyclic job runs, which processes the messages seen in the SOST queue.
Are you sure it's not the frequency of the cyclic job, rather than the
number of messages in the queue, that you are observing? In messages
that are queued and before the cyclic job runs, "wait for comm. service"
is the normal status.
If you mean that there are always 4 items queued in SOST regardless of
the cyclic send job, then I have no ideas. I would have thought there
was no way to do that.
when the send job runs it just never
picks them up & sends them, while it picks up many others. The send job
is somehow blind to these; no error message occurs. In this case, I
'delete' them from the queue (in SOST) and then 'undelete' (drop down
menu -> /Go to /Deleted Items) them and then re-queue them. THEN they
actually get picked up & sent when the next cyclic send job executes.

Pavan

OPS의 TAF (TRANSPARENT APPLICATION FAILOVER) 개념 및 구성

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-13
OPS의 TAF (TRANSPARENT APPLICATION FAILOVER) 개념 및 구성 (8.1이상)
===================================================================
PURPOSE
Oracle8 부터는 OPS node 간의 TAF (Transparent Application Fail-over)가
제공된다. 즉 OPS의 한쪽 node에 fail이 발생하여도 해당 node로 접속하여
사용하던 모든 session이 사용하던 session을 잃지 않고 자동으로 정상적인
node로의 재접속이 이루어저 작업이 계속 진행하도록 하는 것이다.
이 문서에는 이 TAF에 대해서 간단히 살펴보고 실제 configuration을 기술한다.
SCOPE
Transparent Application Failover(TAF) Feature는
8i~10g Standard Edition에서는 지원하지 않는다.
Explanation
TAF가 cover하는 fail의 형태에 대한 설명과, TAF 시 지정하는 fail over의
type과 method에 대해서 설명한다.
(1) fail의 형태:
TAF는 다음과 같은 fail에 대해서 모두 TAF가 정상적으로 수행되게 된다.
단 MTS mode에 대해서는 전혀 문제가 없지만, dedicated mode의 경우는
반드시 dynamic registration형태로 구현이 되어야 정상적으로 TAF가 가능하다.
instance fail: mts의 경우는 문제가 없지만 dedicated mode의 경우는 반드시
dynamic registration 형태로 구성되어야 한다.
fail된 instance 측의 listener가 정상적이라 하더라도,
dynamic registration에 의해서 instance가 fail되면
listener로부터 deregistration되게 되어 listener 정보
를 확인 후 다른 node의 listener로 접속을 시도하게 된다.
그러나 dynamic registration을 사용하지 않게 되면 fail
된 instance 쪽의 listener는 fail된 instance 정보를
services로 보여주게 되고 해당 instance와 연결을 시도하
면서 ORA-1034: Oracle not available 오류가 발생하게 되
는 것이다.
instance & listener down: listener까지 down되게 되면 문제 발생 후
재접속 시도 시 fail된 쪽의 listener 접속이 실패하게 되고,
다른 node의 listener로 접속이 이루어지게 된다.
node down: node 자체가 down되는 경우에도 TAF는 이루어진다. 단 clinet
에 적정한 TCP configuration parameter인 keepalive 의 설정
이 요구되어진다.
node fail시 client와 server간의 작업이 진행중이라면
문제가 없지만 만약 server쪽에서 수행되는 작업이 없는
상태라면 cleint가 node가 down이 되어도 바로 인지할 수가
없다. client에서 다음 server로의 요청이 이루어지는
순간에 client가 더이상 존재하지 않는 TCP end point쪽으로
TCP packet을 보내게 되고, server node가 더이상 살아있지
않다는것을 확인하게 되는데 일반적으로 2,3분이 걸릴수
있다. node가 fail이 된경우 network에 대한 write() function
call이 오류를 return하게 되고, 이것을 client가 받은후
failover기능을 호출하게 되는 것이다.
client에서 idle한 상태에서도 server node가 down되었는지를
학인하려면 TCP keepalive를 설정해야 하며, 이 keepalive를
오라클의 connection에서 사용하려면 TNS service name에서
ENABLE=BROKEN절을 지정해 주어야한다.
DESCRIPTION절에 포함되는 이 ENABLE=BROKEN절에 대한 예제는
아래 구성 예제의 (3)번 tnsnames.ora 구성 부분에서 참조할
수 있다.
이렇게 ENABLE=BROKEN을 지정하면 network쪽 configuration인
keepalive 설정을 이용하게 되는데 이것이 일반적으로는
2 ~ 3시간으로 설정되어 있기 때문에 이값이 적당히 짧아야
TAF에서 의미가 있을 수 있다.
단 이 keepalive time이 너무 짧으면, 그리고 idle한
session이 많은 편이라면 network부하가 매우 증가할 수
있으므로 이 지정에 대해서는 os나 network administrator와
충분히 상의하여야 한다.
이 keepalive 대한 자세한 내용과 설정 방법은 <bulletin:11323:
SQL*NET DCD(DEAD CONNECTION DETECTION)과 KEEPALIVE의 관계>를
          참조한다.
(2) type: session vs. select
session은 유지하고 수행중이던 SQL문장은 모두 fail되는 session type과
DML문장은 rollback되고 select문장은 유지되는 select type이 제공된다.
select type의 경우도 fail된 instance에서만 얻을 수 있는 정보의 경우는
조회수행 도중 다음과 같은 오류를 발생시키고 중단될 수 있다.
예를 들어 해당 instance에 대한 gv$session으로부터의 조회와 같은것이 그
예이다.
ORA-25401: can not continue fetches
(3) method: basic vs. backup
fail발생시 다른 node로 session을 연결하는 basic method와,
미리 다른 node로 backup session을 연결해 두었다가 fail발생시 사용하는
backup method가 존재한다.
Example
TAF설정을 위해서는 init.ora, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora에 설정이 필요하다.
MTS mode에서는 문제가 없기 때문에 여기서는 반드시 dynamic registration으로
설정해야 하는 dedicated방식을 예로 들었다.
test는 Oracle 8.1.7.4/Sun solaris 2.8에서 수행되었다.
A/B 두 node를 가정한다.
(1)initSID.ora에서
- A node의 initSID.ora
service_names=INS1, DB1
local_listener="(address=(protocol=TCP)(host=krtest1)(port=1521))"
- B node의 initSID.ora
service_names=INS2, DB1
local_listener="(address=(protocol=TCP)(host=krtest2)(port=1521))"
service_names는 여러개를 지정가능한데, 중요한것은 두 node가 공통으로
사용할 service name한가지는 반드시 지정하여야 한다.
일반적으로 db_name을 지정하면 된다.
host=부분은 hostname이나 ip address를 지정하면 된다.
(2) listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = tcp)
(HOST = krtest1)(PORT= 1521)))
B node에서는 krtest1대신 b node의 hostname혹은 ip address를 지정하면
된다
(3) tnsnames.ora은 지정하는 방법이 두가지입니다.
아래에 basic method와 backup method 두 가지 방법에 대한 예를 모두 기술한다.
이중 한가지를 사용하면 되며 backup method의 fail-over시 미리 연결된
session을 사용하므로 시간이 적게 걸릴수 있으나 반대 node에 사용안하는
session을 미리 맺어놓는것에 대한 부하가 있어 서로 장단점이 있을 수 있다.
두 설정 모두 TAF뿐 아니라 connect time fail-over도 가능한 설정이다.
즉 A node가 fail시 같은 tns service name을 이용하여서 (여기서는 opsbasic
또는 ops1) B node로 접속이 이루어진다.
address=로 정의된 address절이 위쪽을 먼저 시도하므로 정상적인 상태에서
B node로 접속을 원하는 경우는 opsbasic의 경우 krtest2를 위쪽에 적고,
ops1/ops2의 경우는 ops2를 사용하도록 한다.
여기에서 (enable=broken)설정이 되어 있는데 이것은 client machine에 설정되어
있는 TCP keepalive를 이용하는 것으로 network부하를 고려하여 설정을 제거할
수 있다.
a. basic method
krtest1의 tnsnames.ora에서는 opsbasic과 ops2에 대해서 설정해두고,
krtest2 node에서는 opsbasic과 ops1을 설정한 후, backup=ops2를
backup=ops1으로 수정하면 된다.
opsbasic =
(description=
(address_list=
     (enable=broken)
     (load_balance=off)
     (failover=on)
     (address= (protocol=tcp) (host=krtest1) (port=1521))
     (address= (protocol=tcp) (host=krtest2) (port=1521))
(connect_data =
          (service_name=DB1)
     (failover_mode=
     (type=select)
     (method=basic)
(backup=ops2))))
ops1 =
     (description =
     (enable=broken)
     (load_balance=off)
     (failover=on)
     (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest1) (port=1521))
(connect_data = (service_name = DB1)))
ops2 =
     (description =
     (enable=broken)
     (load_balance=off)
     (failover=on)
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest2) (port=1521))
(connect_data = (service_name = DB1)))
b. preconnect method
아래 예제의 ops1, ops2가 모두 같은 tnsnames.ora에 정의되어 있어야 하며,
ops1을 이용하여 접속하여 krtest1을 사용시에도 미리 backup session을
krtest2에 맺어둔 상태에서 작업하게 된다.
ops1 =
(description =
(address_list =
(enable=broken)
     (load_balance=off)
     (failover=on)
     (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest1) (port=1521))
     (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest2) (port=1521))
(connect_data = (service_name = DB1)
(failover_mode=
     (backup=ops2)
     (type=select)
     (method=preconnect))))
ops2 =
(description =
(address_list=
     (enable=broken)
     (load_balance=off)
     (failover=on)
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest2) (port=1521))
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=krtest1) (port=1521))
(connect_data = (service_name = DB1)
(failover_mode=
     (backup=ops1)
     (type=select)
     (method=preconnect))))

ORACLE8 OPS 환경에서 FAILOVER SETUP 방법(TRANSPARENT APPLICATION FAILOVER)

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-13
ORACLE8 OPS 환경에서 FAILOVER SETUP 방법
========================================
SCOPE
Standard Edition 에서는 Real Application Clusters 기능이 10g(10.1.0) 이상 부터 지원이 됩니다.
Explanation
oracle 7 ops (sqlnet v2.3.x 이상)에서는 fail로 인한 failover 지원이 manual
하게 reconnect를 하도록 하여 지원이 되었다. <bulletin 11033 참고>
이는 sql*net기능을 사용하여 connection time failover 기능을 사용하는 경우이다.
하지만, oracle 8 이상 에서는 automatic reconnection이 가능하게 되었다.
즉, run-time failover가 가능하다.
이는 일단 connection이 이루어진 후에 발생하는 모든 failover는
Transparent Application Failover 코드에 의해 처리된다.
다음은 Oracle 8 TAF(Transparent Application Failover) setup 방법이다.
tnsnames.ora file에 다음의 parameter를 지정하여 가능하다.
1. failover_mode : run time 시에 failover가 가능하게 한다.
2. TYPE (Required) : failover 후의 operation을 지정한다.
SESSION - failover 발생 시 새로운 session이 다른 instance에
reconnection되며 이전 session에서의 모든 uncommit된
작업은 rollback 된다.
select도 이어서 진행되지 못한다.
SELECT - failover 발생 시 새로운 session이 다른 instance에
reconnection되며 이 때 long query나 복잡한 query 등의
작업 수행 시 작업이 이어서 진행된다.
단, dml 작업은 rollback된다.
NONE - This is the default. No automatic failover
3. METHOD : 어떻게 failover할지를 지정한다.
BASIC - failover 발생 시에 backup instance(server)로 다시 접속한다.
PRECONNECT - primary instance와 backup instance 두 개에 모두
connection 맺어 놓은 후 failover 시에 backup
instance를 통해 service한다.
***< 중요 > 현재 PRECONNECT는 최소한 8.0.5는 되어야 하며
BASIC은 8.0.6이나 8.1.5에서만 가능하다.
4. BACKUP : failover 시 접속할 instance의 정보를 기술한다.
tnsnames.ora의 alias name을 기술한다.
Example
다음은 tnsnames.ora file의 example이다.
< example 1 >
=========================================================================
node1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = node1)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID1)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node2)
(TYPE = SELECT )
(METHOD = PRECONNECT))
node2.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = node2)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID2)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node1)
(TYPE = SELECT )
(METHOD = PRECONNECT))
========================================================================
< test 1 >
1) 각 node의 instance를 start한다.
2) 각 node의 listener를 구동한다.
node1% lsnrctl start lsnr_node1
node2% lsnrctl start lsnr_node2
3) node1에서 다음의 작업을 한다.
sqlplus scott/tiger@node1
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
COUNT(*)
14
4) Node1에서 instance를 shutdown abort한다.
5) 3번의 session에서 select를 다시 한다.
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-25404: lost instance
다시 select한다.
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
COUNT(*)
14
Data가 node2 instance를 통해 제대로 select되며 이는 failover가 정상적으로
작동됨을 알 수 있다.
< example 2 >
다음은 TAF(Transparent Application Failover) 기능에 SQL*NET의
connection time failover 기능을 추가한 경우이다.
========================================================================
node1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= node1)(Port= 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = SID1)(SERVER=SHARED)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node2)(TYPE=SESSION)(METHOD=PRECONNECT))))
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= node2)(Port= 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = SID2)(SERVER=SHARED)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node1)(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=PRECONNECT))))
node2.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= node2)(Port= 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = SID2)(SERVER=SHARED)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node1)(TYPE=SESSION)(METHOD=PRECONNECT))))
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= node1)(Port= 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID1)(SERVER=SHARED)
(FAILOVER_MODE = (BACKUP = node2)(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=PRECONNECT))))
=======================================================================
< test 2 >
1) 각 node의 instance를 start한다.
2) 각 node의 listener를 구동한다.
node1% lsnrctl start lsnr_node1
node2% lsnrctl start lsnr_node2
3) node1에서 다음의 작업을 한다.
sqlplus scott/tiger@node1
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
COUNT(*)
14
4) Node1에서 instance를 shutdown abort한다.
5) 3번의 session에서 select를 다시 한다.
ORA-25404 error조차 없이 select된다.
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
COUNT(*)
14
Data가 node2 instance를 통해 제대로 select되며 이는 failover가 정상적
으로 작동됨을 알 수 있다.
(참고 1) dedicated 방식의 경우는 shared 대신에 dedicated를 기술한다.
물론 initSID.ora의 mts를 기술하지 않고 tnsnames.ora의 server option을 쓰지
않으면 default로 dedicated 방식을 쓴다.
(참고 2) example 1을 사용할 경우 session 종료 후 재접속 시 자동 failover가
되지는 않는다.

Hi,
Many Thanks for your inputs. I created 2 non default listeners LISTENER_ORCL1 and LISTENER_ORCL2 on each node respectively.
I was able to set LISTENER_ORCL as remote listener. But for some reason, the local_listener does not get set. The statement is executed successfully but no changes in the parameters and TAF setup does not work. I initially had the default port number of 1521 for the listener but then changed it to 1522 (to test if it had something to do with default port no) but still no success.

Which is Adobe product to be used for developing iPAD(IOS) applications that support PDF edit on the

Question:
We would like to know if LiveCycle ES 8.0 supports development of applications for IOS devices like iPAD,...
Our requirement is to build applications that opens PDF on an iPAD, let the user edit and save the PDF.
If not, which other Adobe product does?
Thanks,
Murali

If you want to add text as comments, then a form created in Acrobat (Acroform) will work in Adobe Reader for iOS. It does not support forms created in LiveCycle Designer (XFA). There are also other PDF viewers that support Acroforms and commenting. So you don't need to create an application, just documents (PDF forms) that can be opened in an existing application (PDF viewer) that supports forms and commenting.
If you want to edit/add text that is part of the regular page contents of an existing PDF, I'm not aware of anything on iOS that does that and I don't think Adobe has anything that will help you develop an app that will.

Transparent Application Failover (TAF) FAILED!

Dear all,
I have installed RAC 10gR2 on 64-bit Oracle Enterprise Linux, iscsi as shared disks and ASM as storage option. I follwoed document hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.
Everything is ok both database instance are up and running.
Value in the show parameter services is
bss.beaconhouse.edu.pk, orcl_taf, ora_devp
TNSNAMES.ORA file on a window based client machine contains the following entry:
ora_devp, ora_devp.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.63)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.64)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = bss.beaconhouse.edu.pk)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 180)
(DELAY = 5)
But still when I connect to database from client machine and after verifying the connected instance, I stop the services of that instance from RAC server. The client automatically do not shirt to the second instance but give error.
My Transparent Application Failover is not configured properly. Though as i told you both instance are UP and running i can stop and start any one instance.
Kindly help me to implement the very basic feature of RAC.
Thanks, Imran

It seems that Hunter's scripts configure only the "oracle_taf" service for TAF.
Therefore, to test TAF your client should be attempting to connect to the TAF
service "oracle_taf" not "bss.beaconhouse.edu.pk"
See under Step 24
Database Services : For this test configuration, click Add, and enter orcl_taf as the "Service Name." Leave both instances set to Preferred and for the "TAF Policy" select "Basic".
and
"Create the orcl_taf Service
During the creation of the Oracle clustered database, you added a service named orcl_taf that will be used to connect to the database with TAF enabled. During several of my installs, the service was added to the tnsnames.ora, but was never updated as a service for each Oracle instance.
Use the following to verify the orcl_taf service was successfully added:
SQL> show parameter service
NAME TYPE VALUE
service_names string orcl.idevelopment.info, orcl_taf
If the only service defined was for orcl.idevelopment.info, then you will need to manually add the service to both instances:
SQL> show parameter service
NAME TYPE VALUE
service_names string orcl.idevelopment.info
SQL> alter system set service_names =
2 'orcl.idevelopment.info, orcl_taf.idevelopment.info' scope=both; "
and step 30
TAF Demo
From a Windows machine (or other non-RAC client machine), login to the clustered database using the orcl_taf service as the SYSTEM user:
C:\> sqlplus system/manager@orcl_taf

Creating a PDF with transparency without exporting to PDF (Mac)

Hi
I need to created a PDF from InDesign that has unflattened (native) transparency without using the export PDF command ( because of the flaw seen here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537751?tstart=0 )
I have tried exporting as an EPS and that flattens transparency and creating PS does as well.
Any other ideas, settings or applications/utilities to try?
Thanks
-Andrew

Thanks everyone that was what I thought.
Peter: If we knew when it was happening then we can fix it, unfortunately there is no indicator when it will happen. We get jobs from all over North America from all kinds of designers so it could happen on any job.
It is hard to say how many job it happens on as in most cases it wouldn't be noticed by the client as the amount is so small, and in some case it would happen in the bleed that gets trimmed.
So far we have noticed the issue when it happens in a critical situation and haven't had any spoils but it is just a matter of time.
We are going into Annual Reports soon as well as proffesional sport tickets both of which are critical clients.

Transparency issue when generating PDF from InDesign Server

Hi there
Has anyone experienced any issues with transparency appearing solid white when generating a PDF from the InDesign server? There is no issue when exporting from the InDesign application, only when using the Server.
Any pointers / suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Davey

Davey, please send me an InDesign Server document that I could use to reproduce this problem. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thank you. --DougR

Why can't I get the Preview application to open PDF files?

Since the end of April 2014, I have had problems with the Preview application. When I try to open Preview, I get the following message: "This application 'Preview.app can't be opened." "-1712.". I tried a recommended solution that I found in the Apple Support Communities, which said I could go to Finder > press the Option key to show Library and then go Preferences and then search for the Preview plist file and delete it.
Unfortunately, that did not work.
Two other Apple owners had the same problem and said the above procedure had worked for them, but post were back in the year 2012. When I followed the above procedures, it did not make any change in the problem with Preview. I still cannot open it. Does any one out there have an suggestions?
It is possible that any recent updates for MacBook Pro from Apple caused the problem? Will I forever have to resort to using Adobe's PDF program?

Hi aK'
Nice, memorable user name!
-1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.

Barry

Printing from a DOS application to Adobe PDF Printer

I have been asked to provide reports from a legacy DOS application to PDF and of course decided to use my Adobe PDF Printer that came with the copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard I purchased. I am running Windows XP.
I am able to overcome the obvious problem of mapping LPT1 to the Adobe PDF Printer, however, all the DOS print jobs just sit there in the queue and do nothing. I have tried forcing a form feed within print processor but Adobe keeps overwriting the processor used with standard RAW.
What do I have to do create PDF's from DOS based print jobs?
I apologise if this question has been asked before and I have not managed to find it on searching through.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

This is not going to work. The printing architecture just doesn't do
what you want it to do.
The PDF printer works because a Windows program uses GDI (a
programming interface) to describe what it wants to print in graphical
terms. This gets converted to PDF. What you are hooking into in the
DOS world is just that part of the printer that carries the already
formed printer file to the printer hardware.
There may be hope if your DOS application is capable of printing to a
PostScript printer. If so, you can capture the stream and use
Distiller to convert it directly.

"Preserve alpha transparency" with flattening for PDF

For what reason, in Illustrator CS3, is the option for preserving alpha transparency not available in the PDF flattener, but only under the object menu by choosing Flatten Transparency...
The reason i'm asking, is because when using some effects and spot colors, the background of the flattened object becomes a white bounding rectangle that overlaps other objects. I can workaround this by saving a copy, flatten all objects and then save a PDF. But isn't it possible to directly save a correctly flattened PDF from the original unflattened file with spot colors, without having to flatten the objects manually?

here is an example, when I upload this image to the printers I loose the white background and eveything on the bottom of the card is pushed up. The same thing happens with the brochure I have. I can't upload that because this site will not allow it.

but this plugin has the extension .api
Now
I want to create a new COM application in c++ that make the same thing as the above plugin, but I'm facing a problem in using the SDK
Is the SDK able to be used in third party application ? (with info that the end user will has acrobat professional installed on his PC)
If this is possible? please tell me the instructions/configurations that I should do to finish this thing
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to create my c++ application

Your Plugin will need to expose it's on COM (or other IAC methods) and
then your stand-alone application can call the plugin to do the work.

   I'm running Crunchbang linux 9.04 (Ubuntu Jaunty) x64. I successfully installed Adobe Air 2.0 beta and apps run, but they are all so transparent that they can't be seen or used. Below is a screenpic of an adobe air application called doit.im. It works fine in Adobe air 1.5 on this rig, except it always asks me to click to okay the certificate and the window won't move, it's fixed where it is.
When running Adobe Air 2.0 apps, they are moveable, still ask me to click the certificate each time, but... they are WAY too unclear to see. When running the apps in a terminal, they yield no errors. I worked through all the gtk canberra errors successfully.
So I'm running the apps fine from 1.5, but just wondering if anyone know how to fix the overly transparent issue for adobe 2.0 beta - with X64 linux rigs.
    Thanks,
        Peace

Hi Tshann
