What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
Thanks!
Luke

PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

yes - or text that does not fit in a text box
What does the mean?
This symbol will appear in iPhoto or Aperture to warn you that you have chosen an image that has low-resolution, or that the custom text you have entered in a book, card or calendar does not fit in the space allotted.

Does anybody have the issues of working with MemberAlias Text Function

Hi,
I am trying to use <<MemberAlias>> text function, but it seems is only works when I put my dimension on POV, but not on PAGE.
My sytax is <<MemberAlias("Grid2", Current, "Company")>>, Company dimension is on Page, but it only gave me the membername like CO01, but I need MemberAlias Name. I checked Alias on Page properties.
I tired Memberdescription text function, it does not work with Page either.
I am at Hyperion Reports 9.3.1. Is it a bug? Any patch?
Thanks!

Yes, I can get the Alias name on the page drop down box, but not on my reference Name by using MemberAlias function.
The purpose we want to use MemberAlias function is because the content from the drop down box is showing like one line of four dimensions information together like: CompanyA, Location01, Cost Center 007. Client want to break this one row into three static rows like:
CompanyA
Location01
Cost Center 007
So we are using MemberAlias name to do this, but FR give us only the membername. If there is any way can break the drop down content automatically, then we do not have to use MemberAlias function.
Thanks in advance.

Whats the best codec to use when working with JPEG's

Hey all, I'm working on project that are scanned JPEGS @ 2K resolution. What codec would you recommend for the best resolution ? I've tried the Photo-JPEG codec, yet I still get render bar ?
The Photo-JPEG sequence setting, which is to my knowledge, just the same as the JPEG Pics, why does it still ask for me to render (RED OVERHEAD LINE) ? If the sequence is the same as the media, it shouldn't need to be rendered ... correct ?
Any help appreciated

If you are planning on doing any work on individual images, you will want them in a non-lossy format. JPEGS are recompressed every time you open the image and work on it.
However, if you are going to use the images straight from the cam without editing in Photoshop or the like, JPEGs can be ok. Just convert the image sequence to video before you import the material into FCP as still images take enormous resources within FCP.
I use Quicktime Pro to convert image sequences to a video file. It is much more efficient at it than FCP.

FMLA standard hours infotype 2001 not editable when working with date range

Hi All,
The issue described below arises at the Juncture between FMLA Workbench and Absence Infotype IT2001.
When we try to tie a FMLA Request to Absences the process takes us to the Infotype PA2001 screen wherein we would like the Absence Hours Field to be Editable so that we could enter Hours (less than full day).
The process works fine when the FMLA absence is for a single day, i.e. if an employee availed a FMLA leave on a day (whether full day or part of a day) the Absence Hours field (PA2001-STDAZ) is editable and the user can enter any number of hours of his choice.
But the process faces a glitch when the FMLA absence spans over a period of time (i.e. an employee availed a FMLA leave for over a period wherein each day may or may not be a full day absence, in this scenario it would be best if the system allow the user to enter Absence Hours so that the User could enter the exact number of Absence hours correctly. But unfortunately, when an absence spans multiple days the Infotype 2001 screen dynamically turns the Absence Hours field (PA2001-STDAZ) uneditable (grayed out) and the system forcefully enters hours equal to the sum of the work schedule hours for each working day covered in the span of period for which we are trying to enter FMLA Absence Hours.
I have used the USER EXIT and the BADI route and tried to change the Screen Table to editable, but with no luck.
Wondering, if anyone of you could help me out of this glitch.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
   I don't think this is possible.
   You cannot make the Hours field editable for a date range.
   I don't think its feasible to enter absence hours on a day basis given a date range.
   Better think of creating a custom infotype to enter absence hours .
   (Design would be : based on the date range entered , say 01.01.2011 to 05.01.2011 , you should get five input enabled
     boxes(dynamically) for five days to enter the absence hours , this is not possible in standard infotype ..... )

Srini.

Green highlight when working with Fluid Grid Layout Div tags

What does the green highlight mean when working in Live view of a Fluid Grid Layout using Fluid Grid Layout Div Tags? Sometimes they show up, but sometimes they don't. I think it has something to do with the width setting but I can't figure out what the rule is or what the highlight indicates.
Dreamweaver CS6
Mac OSX 10.8.2
THANK YOU!!

Brian McNay wrote:
the green highlight sometimes disappears when modifying the width property of the div. My question is what does this signify?
If you change the width of a div manually in Code view or in the CSS styles panel, Dreamweaver ceases to treat it as a fluid grid layout div, and the green highlighting disappears.
To be treated as a fluid grid layout div, the width must be adjusted by dragging the handles in Design view. Dreamweaver snaps fluid grid layout divs to the grid that is defined when you first create the page, and it calculates the width and margins to many decimal places. If the width and/or margin doesn't match the grid dimensions, the highlighting disappears, and the div is treated as any other div.
It's not a bug, nor are fluid grid layout divs any different from normal ones. The idea of the grid and the highlighting is to allow you to create a responsive layout according to a hypothetical grid. Once you've created the basic structure, it's best to turn off the visual guides anyway.
Personally, I think that the implementation of fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 leaves a lot to be desired. The basic idea is good, but it's difficult to use if you don't have a solid understanding of CSS.

Nexus 1000V. problem when working with the console VMWare

I have a problem when working with the console VMWare.
Sometimes it is impossible to connect any of the hypervisor to the guest OS managed by them.
I get the message: "Unable connect to the MKS: Host address lookup for server <name of the hypervisor> failed: No such host is known."
This message always appears in conjunction with the reconfiguration of virtual switch: "Reconfigure vNetwork Distributed Switch .... Initiated by Cisco_Nexus_1000V_ ....."
Upon completion of the reconfiguration, Communication console, with guest OS is restored, or on its own or after a reboot srv-vc.
In this time, I do not see any message in Nexus 1000v log.
What is this?
Thanks in advance.

Smells of a DNS issue. Are you sure your ESX hosts are reachable from your client via DNS hostname? Try pinging them from a command prompt/terminal. You may have DNS server issues.
As a temp fix, edit your [windowspath]/system32/etc/drivers/hosts file and manually add the ESX host name and IP, then re-test.

Does Oracle8i have any advantages over Oracle9i when used with BeaLogic 6.1?

Do I have any advantages by NOT choosing the latest Oracle9i, but instead using
more
proven Oracle8i when working with BeaLogic?
Thank you,
Jacob Nikom

From what I understand, I believe that the statement that BEA doesn't support
Oracle 9i applies mainly to the BEA Oracle jDriver JDBC driver. BEA does support
any JDBC 2.0 compliant driver for use with WLS so I don't think you will have any
problems with WebLogic so long as you are using Oracle's JDBC driver for 9i.
Now, there may be some additional issues with XA support with these drivers if
the problem is found to be caused by the driver itself...
jacob nikom wrote:
What does it mean "not officially supported by BEA"?
I have read in their messages that they are going
to release their JDBC driver for Oracle9i very soon.
Does it mean that they are not going to support it?

What does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when field is empty? How to use javascript to remove div when condition is met.

Dear all,
As stated in the question, what does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when no image has been uploaded by users. I understand that there is an OnError function that can be called if there isn't any image. However it does not do so.
I am creating a program which will check to see if {tag_image_value} contains an image. If it does not, the error will call an external javascript to remove the div such that it removes any subsequent codes in the later parts of the codes. Below is part of the program:
I have tried to compare the value to NULL, 0, -1 and "" using if-else functions but they do not work. The slideshow wrapper is part of the code from the following theme: 2027 E Colfax Ave Denver
The theme will cycle through the pictures, my purpose is to remove the pictures if the images are not present.
   
<script language="JavaScript">
function noimg1() {
     $( "#shownpicture1" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg2() {
     $( "#shownpicture2" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg3() {
     $( "#shownpicture3" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg4() {
     $( "#shownpicture4" ).remove();
     return;
</script>
        
<div class="slideshow-wrapper slider">
<div class="preloader"></div>
<ul data-orbit="data-orbit" data-options="bullets:false;animation:fade;">
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture1">
    <li class="active" style="z-index: 4; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg1()" src="{tag_image 1_value}" /></li>
    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture2">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg2()" src="{tag_image 2_value}" /></li>
    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture3">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg3()" src="{tag_image 3_value}" /></li>
    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture4">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg4()" src="{tag_image 4_value}" /></li>
    </div>
</ul>
</div>


When I put in the code it doesnt work. I went into the page to check and it seems that the preloader changes some elements of the code :
<div class="slideshow-wrapper slider">
    <div class="preloader"></div>
    <div class="orbit-container">
        <ul class="orbit-slides-container" data-orbit="data-orbit" data-options="bullets:false;animation:fade;" style="height: 26px;">
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg1()" src="">
                </img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg2()" src=""></img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 4; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg3()" src=""></img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;"></li>
        </ul>
        <a class="orbit-prev">
            <span></span>
        </a>
        <a class="orbit-next">
            <span></span>
        </a>
        <div class="orbit-timer paused">
            <span></span>
            <div class="orbit-progress" style="width: 0%;"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="orbit-slide-number">
            <span></span>
             of
            <span></span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
I tried putting this into the top of my template layout before the code starts:
<script>
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider .orbit-container ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') == "" ){
$(this).parent.remove();
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') === '' ){
$(this).parent.remove();
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') == '' ){
$(this).parent.remove();
</script>
All 3 variants cannot work. Is there something wrong with the way I do the scripting?

Does only Adobre Reader "reads" the fields of a PDF when created with Acrobat?

I created a PDF with several fields and exported it.
Then I tried to open it with Firefox and the fields didn't appear.
But it works OK with Adobe Acrobat.
Does only Adobre Reader "reads" the fields of a PDF when created with Acrobat?

Adobe software reads form fields. The rules for how to do form fields are a part of the PDF standard (a book available to anyone) but some companies ignore it and others do half a job. To be safe, use only Adobe Reader. And beware of browsers that ignore Adobe Reader even if you have it.

Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when opening photomerge . panorama ??????

Whats up???   Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when i select photomerge / panorama on my imac.    ( elements 11)

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
One of the similar threads is found here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/622755 which is for Photoshop but should work for PSE as well.

What does Apple have that compares to Adobe flash player ?

What does Apple have that compares to Adobe Flash Player, I keep getting Blocked plugged message and it tells me to download Adobe Flash Player and when I do nothing happens. Also when I purchased my iMac it came with Leopard osx system, last year I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system and since then cannot read CD's or DVD's from PC or my husbands new iMac with Mountain Lion system.

There is no equivalent to Adobe's Flash Player. You either have it installed or not. For the reasons outlined below, Apple no longer sell Macs with Flash Player pre-installed, you have to obtain it from Adobe.
Flash - Apple's official position:
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Flash v. HTML5
http://www.streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/flash-player-cpu-hog-or-hot-tama le-it-depends-.html
Apple may have more reasons behind not installing Flash by default other than the stated reason of ensuring that users always have the most up-to-date version. Having Flash installed can cut battery runtime considerably—as much as 33 percent in our testing. With a handful of websites loaded in Safari, Flash-based ads kept the CPU running far more than seemed necessary, and the best time I recorded with Flash installed was just 4 hours. After deleting Flash, however, the MacBook Air ran for 6:02—with the exact same set of websites reloaded in Safari, and with static ads replacing the CPU-sucking Flash versions.

And this:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/2011-02-18-changes-web_N.htm
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

My cousin wants music off my Itunes. It won't let her though, and the music doesn't show in her Library, it shows her brothers music. What does she have to do to get my music.?

If they are running 10.6.1, they have not updated their computer in almost two years and regardless of iTunes, they really should update.
The posted system requirements have been flaky in the past. A few versions of iTunes required 10.4.11 or 10.5.6 or later. Don't kow if it would not work with 10.5.0 through 10.5.5 but the way it was worded, implied it would not but IIRC, it did actually work
