Web viewer update

When can we expect an update of the web viewer?
The content displayed is not responsive and is therefore not useable on most small screens

The v29 release introduced a couple of bugs that's most likely affecting you. These issues should be resolved within the next day or two.

Known issues with web viewer
Some scrollable frames in web viewer are no longer working properly with the v29 release. This issue is under investigation.
Social Sharing is not working properly for v27 and v28 apps for folios published after the release of v29.
Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation.
TOC images larger than 70x70 are being cropped instead of scaled.

Web Views Still Don't Auto Update in Keynote '08

So much to my disappointment, the web view feature still doesn't auto update in a self-running presentation. The web views still only update when you first open the document, and then not until you close it and re-open it again.
We have a kiosk at our company that shows slides with websites that have information that change during the day. Unfortunately it only shows the website's state as of when the document was opened, but it doesn't update as the presentation runs throughout the day.
Dang!!! I thought they were going to fix this.

It looks like this is an "as designed" feature. It updates the web view when the presentation launches, but won't do it each time it cycles through.
Bummer, but oh well. Maybe iLife '09

Autonomous Updating of Web View slides for Self-Looping

We just bought an 20" iMac with the purpose of hanging on the wall as a hallway display. I'm making a Keynote 2 application with most of the slides being generated using the Web View images.
I've got my presentation set up as a Automatically play at Startup, loops and is Self-Playing. I'm curious if anyone has figured out a way to set up the presentation so the Web View pages update automatically while in presentation mode. I know if you stop the presentation and restart it, the slides will update, but I'd like it to update while it is playing, so I can just let the presentation run 24/7 and update the pages on the fly.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I tried playing around with AppleScript, saving the AppleScript as an application and entering it into cron. It works about the first couple of times, then about the third time cron is run, it doesn't restart Keynote. It assumes Keynote is already running and playing the slideshow when the script is called.
Here's a copy of the AppleScript:
tell application "Keynote"
     stop slideshow
     quit
end tell
tell application "Finder"
     activate
     select window of desktop
     open document file "iMacBriefing2.key" of folder "Desktop" of folder "amm" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell

Issue with multiple digital signatures disabling fast web view

Hello, I'm using acrobat 9.1 pro and have some questions regarding an issue using multiple signatures on a pdf.
Why am I asking the question below? My job involves preparing pdf's for submission to FDA. The FDA requires, among other things, that electronically submitted docs have fast web view enabled.
I am currently exploring ways of using digital signatures to sign pdf reports and still make sure they are FDA spec compliant. My issue involves a document that would have multiple signature fields. What I do is create at least two signature fields in the doc and then save and optimize while enabling fast web view. When I sign the first box and save, the file retains the fast web view status. Yet, when I apply and signatures past the first one, the file is subsequently set to fast web view off without any obvious way of turning it back on. I am confused as to why it gets disabled only after the second, and not right after even the first one was signed. And, of course, I would like to know if it is possible to maintain fast web view and how to do it. I'll gladly accept "tinkering under the hood" of the file suggestions if they exist as well.
Please let me know if anything is unclear or you need further information.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Vlad,
Michael actual had the correct answer. The purpose of a "Linearized" file (i.e. a file that has been Optimized for Fast Web View) is to get the first page to display as soon as possible so you can start reading without waiting for the rest of the file to download. As an aside, the designated first page doesn't necessarily have to be page 0 (PDF's use a zero based counting system for pages), but usually it is. To quote the PDF specification, "The primary focus of Linearized PDF is optimized viewing of read-only PDF documents. It is intended that the Linearized PDF be generated once and read many times. Incremental update is still permitted, but the resulting PDF is no longer linearized and subsequently is treated as ordinary PDF."
When you sign a PDF file the first time the Save process is a "full save", that is the entire document is rewritten so there are no more than two %%EOF (end-of-file) markers in it. The first EOF designates which page to show first and the second EOF designates the end of the rest of the file (so the browser knows when to stop downloading). However, when you add a second (or subsequent) signature the file is saved as an "incremental save" and all of the new data is tacked onto the the end of the original file. This is so you can do a rollback to the previous signed version and allows Acrobat/Reader to check the integrity of each signature independent of any other signatures. It's the incremental save that breaks the linearized optimization of the file.

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

Publish for web viewing?

I haven't found enough information about web viewing of
Captivate 3 screencasts.
I don't have a flash server, but I have a CMS capable of
serving individual swf or flv files. But in my output I have three
different swf files (not to mention an html).
For the sake of web viewing/streaming, what are my options?
1)is there a way in Captivate to convert it to a single file?
2)Are there any utilities for coverting to avi/mpeg? So far,
the only thing I've found is
http://www.adshareit.com/howto-swf-to-video.html,
but I don't know what settings to use. I tried its default
settings, and the result was three mpegs, all of them were huge and
none were usable.
3)are there special settings you should set up in Captivate
for web viewing?
4)my cms (which is specialized) has some ability to play
flash media files within a viewer, but am unsure exactly. How would
an embedded flash player on a website be able to view a captivate
video?
From a standpoint of latency and performance, is the best
option to just upload the three files to a web directory and give
the user the URL for the html file?

Hello again Robert
Without seeing your actual output files it's a bit difficult
to say exactly what each file is for. But I can toss out some
generic information.
Often when you record a project in Captivate and publish the
output you will end up with four basic files.
ProjectName.SWF (Contains the bulk of your presentation)
ProjectName_skin.SWF (Contains the Playback Controls and adds
one or more Borders surrounding the main part of your presentation)
standard.js (An externally referenced JavaScript file. This
was was used to prevent seeing the "Click to activate" message that
Microsoft Internet Explorer used to issue when it played Flash
content. But IE has been updated so this message no longer appears.
Even so, the standard.js file is still necessary in order to
properly display your content.)
ProjectName.htm (An HTML file that is used to present the
Flash presentation)
Depending on what and how you recorded, there may be other
files involved too. You could see one or more Full Motion files
among the mix.
Additionally, if you used some of the supplied animations
that ship with Captivate, you could see those as well.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Problems with diacritics/accents and paging in web viewer

There seem to be some problems in displaying diacritics/accents in the web viewer (CR4E 2 update 4).
On viewing a multi-page report containing accents, when the report is paged forwards/backwards the accented characters are corrupted. This is easily reproduced by creating a report which contains nothing apart from text including accented characters.
The characters render correctly when exported to pdf.
Has anyone else had issues with accented characters?

DPS Web Viewer

I have a question regarding the v27 update.
Posted from the whats new section: "In the web viewer, articles that have an article access state set to "Free" in Folio Producer can now be viewed in the desktop web viewer without counting against the paywall threshold." does this mean that as long as an article is set to free, we will not be charged for the viewing of this article?
can someone explain this in laymans terms.
thank you.

This refers to the paywall threshold that the publisher sets up for their customers, not the download counts that Adobe charges publishers.
Publishers can use the Folio Producer to set articles to Free, Metered, or Protected. In the Account Admin tool, they can set a threshold to limit the number of metered articles that each customer can view in web viewer. For example, if the threshold is set to 3, the customer can view 3 metered articles, and browsing to the fourth metered article displays a paywall message. In v26, both free and metered articles counted against the threshold. In v27, only metered articles count against it.

View Report in Web Viewer Error

I am using Eclipse 4.3 Kepler with BIRT 4.3.2 on a 64-bit machine running Windows 7 and Java 8.
When I select Run -> View Report -> In Web Viewer I get the following error message:
HTTP ERROR: 500
Problem accessing /viewer/frameset. Reason:
Server Error
Powered by Jetty://
How can I fix this?

Thank you for the link.
Setting up BIRT Viewer to work with a local instance of (say) Tomcat, using a workspace that Tomcat can access, etc., is not quite the simple solution I was hoping for.
We do use BIRT Viewer to render our reports in our application - and we use the Ant "sync" task to update reports (from an Eclipse workspace to a Tomcat webapps context) during development, which is a good workaround for when a BIRT report is already wired into an application that can (in turn) be used to invoke the report. (You do not even have to re-start Tomcat to see the changes, which is cool.)
What I was hoping for was a standalone solution whereby a developer does not need to be running Tomcat (or any other Servlet container) with BIRT Viewer deployed, etc.
I am sure that at one time the BIRT Viewer feature worked out-of-the-box, but I could be wrong about that.

Crystal Web Viewer executing stored procedure when going to next/prev page

We are using VS.NET 2005 with SP1 to design reports and embed them in an aspnet web app. Some of them take a while to run, even in the designer. In the designer, however, next page and print operations are speedy. In the web viewer, next page and print operations are agonizingly slow.
Viewing page 2 of a report seems to take about as long as viewing page
1. After running SQL Profiler to trace the report, it is apparent that the entire report (Stored Procedure Call) is being re-run and just page 2 is being sent to the browser.
Is this right?
Shouldn't the report document be stored on the server or event the client so that the desired page can be loaded without having to hit the database again??
We are using Business Objects Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Do you have a sample code on this issue.

It still did not work. As you see my code has the Not Page.IsPostBack. It still goes to the database to run the stored procedure over and over again.
Do an example with more than 100 records to have multiple pages. After you go to page #2, change your data by updating one of your fields that will not fit the criteria you are looking for. In this example I changed the strPeriod from 1 to 2 and it gives you a blank report.

How to display local HTML file in web-view?

Hello everyone,
we have no problem with showing of remote HTML content from server in box on page in web view. But how we can show such a content when included in HTMLResources? In guide is just "Display a local HTML file in an in-app browser", which works wihout problem, but we don't want to show this HTML content in in-app viewer, it should be part of page.
Thanks
Martin

Now i'm confused. In guide is this:
To use local HTML files, click the folder icon and specify the local HTML file. The HTML file (such as index.html) should appear in a folder that includes any images or scripts used in the HTML file.
But no info where such a local HTML file should reside. If this file is in HTMLResources, it is ignored.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
The options when creating a button are:
Open link in folio
Open link in device browser
Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

When I launch it...it says this:
2012-01-22 17:21:01.658 RecoverMe[96706:407] Error loading /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
          /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: GC capability mismatch
Does that have anything to do with it not loading the webview?
