Using PD4ML library for convertin HTML to PDF
Hi all
i am using API s from PD4ML library for converting HTML to PDF.
what i am sending via HTML is a single HTML table.but the problem is i need to identify the number of lines which i need to give for single PDF page for the case when HTML table is too large to fit into single page.i can decide the number of lines before hand like 31 for portrait and 52 for landscape.but in this case problem arises when page size is too large.for eg page size is A1 and i have specified number of lines as 31.
In this case lot of empty space is left at the end of page.
so i actually need to calculate NUMBER OF LINES for single page as a FUNCTION of PAGE SIZE and FONT SIZE . font size because it also affects the number of lines that fit into single page.
would be really grateful if u guys can help fast
#1 There are definite copyright issues with your
software. Before you go live with anything like this,
make sure you're not gonna get reamed.Ehh? I didn't see anything from the OP's question that implied this. Yes, if he uses it to mine commercial web sites and convert them to PDF's there's a problem, but aside from that, where's the danger?
#2 The PDF part is the easy part. As the other poster
said, lowagie iText can do PDF. The rendered HTML is
a much bigger question. The smaller issue is that web
pages are defined to fit your browser window, so
you've got to choose a size. The much tougher problem
is finding a decent HTML renderer in Java. In truth,
I don't think there is one; JEditorPane is a piece of
****, and opera is really not a lot better. Not at all. The OP specifically mentioned web services, so we don't need to assume that Swing is involved. You can, using a 3rd party library (google for java pdf), have a servlet or jsp render its output as a PDF document.

How do I use one library for multiple iPods
I have three girls that recently got iPod nano's. I would like to use only one library for their music etc. How do I do this. when I installed the first one it worked great. Then when I installed the second one it won't recognize the first one. Then when I went back to factory settings on the first and synched her music the second one is not recognized. Help......
Sorry, guess I am not using the "technical lingo". I already had itunes on my computer for a medical review course that I purchased to study for a certification exam. When nano #1 was purchased I hooked it up, registered it, and synched music to it. When my daughter tried to play songs, the songs titles and songs were mixed (song didn't match title). I hooked it up to the computer. It said it needed to be formatted. So I did and reregistered and synced the songs back on. Everything ok. Second nano hooked up, registered, named different name than #1, synched with the music she wanted. Tried to hook up #1 and it didn't recognize the nano. I went to the website and found out how to "find" it on the computer, followed the instructions to find it, and again it had to be "formatted" to have it recognized. I was again able to sync her music. Will I have to do this everytime I try to sync more music? that could be a real pain!
thanks for any help for this sometimes electronically challenged mom. -
Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)
Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
Thanks.Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal. -
Cannot use iPhoto library for Screensaver
I think this used to work. I wanted to use a certain album in iPhoto as the source for my Screen Saver, but the package is dimmed out when I go to select a source for the screensaver. Is there some way around this?
You should be able to use the library on the EHD to supply images for the screensaver. What version of iPhoto are you using? What format is the EHD. It must be OS X Extended (journaled) for it to operate properly and without problems.

Using HttpSupport library for SSL with User Id/Password
Does anybody know how to use UDS HttpSupport library for SSL connection which requires user id and password?
Got no problem so far in getting pages using https and HttpBaseRequest but can't figure out how to setup user id and password for logging in to server. Have tried https://userid:password@server/... but UDS treated password@server as the port!
Any help is appreciated.I assume you mean that you need to provide the password needed for a certificate for SSL authentication.
For both client and server, these are configuration items.
If you want to do HTTP authorization, which is not related to SSL, you should use the Authorization and WWW-Authenticate (in a 401 response) to get a user name and password to the server. -
Hi-
I have successfully used RS232 library to communicate with one RS485 device. I now have multiple devices using the same Rx and Tx lines. Three of the 4 devices have their own dll and can communicate effectively despite each other. My problem occurs when the one device I am talking to using the RS232 library now has to share the lines with the other devices. Are there any ways around this? All I can think of is to see if I can use the NI Serial library commands with my non-NI PCIe card. OR, buy the NI 485/422 card and use the NI Serial commands. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.The fundamanetal difference between RS232 and RS485 is the ability to connect to multoiple devices. The devices also normally work in a "speak only when spoken to" mode and this is achieve by adding a device address in the protocol. The NI serial library is oblivious to most of this and doesn't care if it's RS232 or RS485. The problem with your 232 device is that it will speak everytime when any other device is adddressed, so you should make it comply to 485 standards. This can be done with RS232 to RS485 convertors. You can do a search on Google for this. The ones I use and have the least amount of problems with is either from Advantech (<http://www.advantech.com/products/search.aspx?keyword=RS-232#search> and <http://www.advantech.com/products/search.aspx?keyword=RS-232#search>) or BB Electronics.

Solutions for converting HTML to PDF programatically?
to start off i should say that i am rather new to programming in java.
here's what i am attempting to do.
i need to write a java class that will get an HTML string as input... and needs to spit out a PDF file (or outputstream) as output. i have spent the last week or trying to accomplish this using XSL-FO and the FOP library. this solution does not work too well because XSL-FO and FOP do not handle complex table layouts very well (since they require the number of columns and column widths to be known in advance). it seems that FOP (and XSL-FO) is better suited to handling structured XML input... not something unstructured and complex as HTML.
are there any other libraries/APIs that are out there that are specifically well suited to HTML -> PDF conversion?
remember this needs to be done programatically, and will probably be invoked as a webservice.
thanks,

Use 1 Library for both Mac and PC OS's?
I have a pretty basic question about itunes. I am running a Mac Pro and bootcamp with Windows Vista on the other side. I have 3 seperate Hdds. One for Mac...One for PC...And one for audio files and pictures and other stuff.
I did have my itunes music library on my Mac Hdd for when Im running OSX. Well i still do. But what I want to do is move my itunes library to the 3rd Hdd (non-bootable) and hopefully use it for both the Mac OSX and the PC Vista side. So instead of having the same library copied to 2 seperate Hdds for the 2 seperate OS's Ill have 1 itunes library and be able to access it from both Os's. I have Mac drive 7 installed so I know I can access the 3rd HFS+ comp drive from the PC OS.
So how do I go about doing this right so I dont screw anything up?The easiest way to do this, I think, involves copying the Music folder from OS X to the new hard drive. Then delete the old Music folder from the OS X drive. Create an alias to the new Music folder, copy it to your home folder, and rename it to the same name as the folder you copied. (i.e. copy /Users/john/Music/iTunes to AUDIO/Music/iTunes, then create an alias to iTunes and copy it to /Users/john/Music. Rename the alias to iTunes.)
Dealing with Windows is more difficult, as only Explorer follows shortcuts (NTFS doesn't support 'true' symlinks). I think you can set iTunes to read the AUDIO/Music/iTunes folder as its library folder in Edit > Preferences.
Good luck. -
Using Windows Search for multiple, multi-page PDFs
I am scanning documents into a Windows folder (documents have been OCR'ed). An employee verifies that each document has a specific number that OCR picked up, if OCR did not, the user will use the 'Add or edit text box' under tools in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI to add the correct number. Multiple scans are handled this way and merged together to create documents that may be up to 2300 pages long (so far). Within that same Windows folder, there are other files with similarly handled information and numerous pages.
My problem is, if I am looking for a specific number that is within one of the PDF files within the Windows folder - I can find it if I open the file that contains the number and do a search. However, even though we are using a Windows index to be able to search from the Windows Search, the Windows Search will not always be able to find one of the indexed numbers. Does anyone know if there is a maximum size or number of pages a PDF can be for the Windows Search to be able to be used? Perhaps this is a question I should ask of Windows. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong with the PDFs or if the Windex index isn't working. Thoughts?Something that may help -
With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.
In a thread at AUC, Thom Parker identifies these.

Error while Open and save pdf using Adobe library
I m using adobe library to open and save PDF using VC++ MFC .
as given samples are working for me all are using console application to accomplish this task.
But when i tried to use same functions to open and save PDF from DOC/VIEW application it gives me an error.
it is a strange problem that I don't understand. If I compile the following code (Visual C++ 2000 Express Edition) I get an error message: "Unhandled exception at 0x0041183f in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004."
For your reference when I simply create one function and one menu and called that function from menu.
Please see the code is given below.
The code is given below
