When the user saves a pdf as a png image, is this lossless?

Hi, I know that the user can save a pdf as an image (or rather as a series of images). And I know that saving to a jpg is not lossless. But what about saving to a png? Is this lossless?
If not, then my question becomes general: does Acrobat give the user a lossless way to save a pdf as an image?

Actually, I think we missed a very important point at the beginning. Saving PDF pages to an image almost always causes severe quality losses that are nothing to do with compression. Here's why.
A PDF is a mixture of some or all of:
- text
- vector art (shapes, lines, etc.)
- raster images (originally TIFF, JPEG or whatever) at DIFFERENT resolutions
Now, if you save a page of a PDF to a raster format, then what happens to the above is:
- text must be converted to a raster format. It is no longer text, free to scale and sharp to read at anysize
- vector art must be conveted to a raster format with similar losses to text
- raster images have to be converted to the final resolution. Unless the resolution of the image and of the exported graphic happen to be the same there will be quality losses
So, whether you choose JPEG, PNG or whatever, it is only in a very small set of circumstances lossless. That is, when the PDF contains nothing but raster images, all at the same resolution, which is the same as the exported resolution.

Dynamically change the document when the user opens it through a PDF Portfolio

Hello
I'm generating a PDF Portfolio using LiveCycle PDF Generator. I need to dynamically change the document that is presented when the user opens a PDF portfolio.
Can anyone give ideas on how to accomplish this using the portfolio and navigator API?
Thank you

That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

How can I embed a PDF in my Captivate 5.5 project that will open in a new window when the user click

I put a glossary button in my project. When the user clicks on the button, I want the file to open in a new browser window. This works in preview mode, but not when I publish it. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CC

Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CC

Then there's no reason to "Use Artboards". If you had multiple artboards in the file, then you could choose among them for the output but with a single artboard, only one will be output.

Cancel download method when the user cancel the download file

I have a method that download a file ("downloadLog_action()")when the user click over the comandlink component and the dialog box is opening to save the file, but how to know that the user canceled the download file to cancel all accions.
This is the code of the commandlink in the jspx page that call the method and pass one parameter:
<af:commandLink binding="#{ConsultaValidacion.commandLink1}"
id="commandLink1"
action="#{ConsultaValidacion.descargarLog_action}"
text="Log">
<f:param name="codInstitucion"
value="#{row.CodInstitucion}"
binding="#{ConsultaValidacion.codInstitucion}"
id="codInstitucion"/>
</af:commandLink>
This is the method to download the file:
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"Log_" +
codigoInstitucion + ".txt\"");
response.setContentLength((new Long(blob.getLength())).intValue());
//Streams de entrada y salida
InputStream is;
OutputStream out;
try {
//Obtenemos el stream de entrada el cual se lo extrae de la BD
is = blob.getInputStream();
//Obtenemos el stream de salida para el cliente
out = response.getOutputStream();
//Sección de código que me permite escribir los datos en el stream de salida
int size = (new Long(blob.getLength())).intValue();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
int length = -1;
while ((length = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, length);
//Cerramos los streams
out.flush();
is.close();
out.close();
*//Una vez descargado todo el LOG actualizamos el contador. HERE IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COUNTER IS UPDATING WHEN THE USER CANCEL THE DOWNLOAD!!! AND ITS WRONG*
row.setNumDescargaLog(new Number(num + 1));
//Guardamos los cambios
webRvc.getAppModuleWebRvc().getDBTransaction().commit();
//Request lifecyce understands that the response is completed and no further action needs to happen
fctx.responseComplete();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
webRvc.close("Consulta bitacoras validacion");
return null;
} catch (JboException ex) {
webRvc.getAppModuleWebRvc().getDBTransaction().rollback();
webRvc.close("Consulta bitacoras validacion");
return null;
This works fine.
The problem occurs when the user cancels the download, because all the sentences run including updating the counter downloads, the counter only to be updated only when the user chooses to save the file.

Hi.
The problem is when the user cancel the dowload I do not know how to capture the user's response.
How to capture the response?
if(cancelled) <------Is there a parameter to tell me this?

Can I pause my project when the user clicks?

Hello all,
I am working on a project using Cp4.
My project plays automatically without user interaction.
I need project to be paused when the user clicks on a clickbox at run time & it should play when the user again clicks the same clickbox.
I can pause the project by adding a clickbox and applying the property "pause the project until user clicks.
But it must be a user wish interaction whether to pause or play.
Is that possible ? How could I make my work done ?
Regards,
Kartik.P

Hello,
I tried it out and it works all right. If you do not want a button, you can also replace this by a click box (that is invisible), perhaps covering up the whole slide and instruct the user just to click on the slide to pause or to 'un'-pause.
As for the construction of the Advanced action (do have a couple of tutorials, but they are for CP5):
Open the dialog box from Project Actions
Be sure to be on the tab Advanced Actions and choose Create a new action from the dropdown list
Name the action
Double click on the first statement, it has to become red
Use the spacebar to open a list, and choose Assignment
From the first dropdownlist choose Variable rdcmndPause
From the second list (after the =) choose Value
Type in 1 for the value
From the third list choose the minus sign
From the fourth, choose again Variable and from the list choose rdcmndPause
Save the action
It is a bit clumsy, but the result should look like this:

Basically you want to handl the visibility and read-only properties of the UI elements at runtime.
To handle visibility property create a context attribute of type WDUI_VISIBILITY and bind it with the UI element's visible property.
in MODIFY action handler set this context attribute to IF_WDL_CORE=>VISIBILITY_VISIBLE to make it visible
                                                                                IF_WDL_CORE=>VISIBILITY_NONE to make it invisible.
Similarly to handle the read-only behaviour, create the context attribute of type WDY_BOOLEAN and bind it with the readonly property of the UI element.
and in action handler assign a value to the context attribute. ABAP_TRUE to make it readonly
                                                                                ABAP_FALSE to make it editable.

How do I sign my VB / VS 2010 based shared COM add-in for Excel so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?

My COM add-in is developed using VS 2010 and VB. It's a shared COM add-in (not VSTO) and it works with Excel 2007 - 2013. My installer is signed with a code signing certificate but it would appear that my add-in's .dll should also be signed if the user has
checked the "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher" option.
The "Sign the assembly" option is checked in my add-in's VB -> My Project -> Signing. I have a .snk file selected which I seem to recall generating 6 or 7 years ago when I ported the COM add-in from VB6 to .NET.
I have an up-to-date Comodo code signing certificate (a pfx file called MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx) which I purchased to use with the installer and was wondering if and how I could use this.
I tried selecting my pfx file in the My Project -> Signing -> "Choose a strong name key file" dialog. It made a copy of the pfx file in my project folder but when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:
Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the
following key container name: VS_KEY_C0B6F251F0FB6016
After a little research, I found out I might be able to use signtool to sign the dll in a post-build step.
I added the following command to the post-build event, before the command I use to regasm the assembly.
"path to signtool\signtool" sign /f "MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx" /p "xxxx" /v "$(TargetPath)"
When I built the project, the dll appeared to get signed (the output window showed a bunch of confirming text as well as "Successfully signed: c:\MyAddIn\bin\Release\MyAddIn.dll") but the next step in the post-build (regasm myaddin.dll /codebase)
issued a warning RA0000 (see below) but reported "Types registered successfully".
Here's the message I get from regasm, even though the output window says the dll was sucessfully signed:
RegAsm : warning RA0000: Registering an unsigned assembly with /codebase can cause your assembly to interfere with other applications that may be installed on the same computer. The /codebase switch is intended to be used only with signed assemblies. Please give your assembly a strong name and re-register it.
Types registered successfully
I'm not using a shim if that makes a difference.
How do I sign my add-in so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.
You may also find the
What's the Difference, Part Five: certificate signing vs strong naming article helpful.

PLease help me in providing the information.
In my Project i have two radio buttons as
New
Asssessment
when the user selects new button, i want to automatically call an action in the controller(.jpf file)
Simalarly when he selects the other radio button i need to call a separate action in the controller.
Remember i dont have the submit button.
I want to dynamically call an action when the user selects the radio button.
i dont have any field inthe radio button which actually takes action as an attribute .
please provide me the necessary

Hi,
You can use JavaScript to call the action in interest upon the Radio Button Element Being Selected.Should be simple, and if your controller is part of the portlet dont forget to use the jpfScopeId to asscoiate the controller instance with the one in the portlet.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

How to clear text fields when the user navigates back to the screen

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea on how to clear the text input fields and dropdown boxes when the user navigates back to the screen, say for e.g. create screen?
My issue is that i have plenty of fields in the create screen within a form. Is there a way to avoid programaticaly blanking out every field and just do it at the form level using an api to reset to a state before the user entry?
Thanks

This code allows you to make it more generic, and you would need to tweak it if there are more than TextInput controls, but it should provide some ideas.
As far as using states, you could use SetProperty to set the text to empty, but that might be messier.

How to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation

We have a custom program which will add / delete attributes (In transaction PPOSA_BBP). It is working fine for users which were assigned with CP relation But it fails for users which doesnu2019t have CP relation (since we are getting the position of users form HRP1001 then we are retrieving the existing attributes based on the position after that updating the attributes) as we are getting the position from HRP1001 it fails for users were no CP relation.
Help us how to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation. Suggest us any function module or how to query the HRP1001 or some other table if exists
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
Have a look at these tables.
Using table BUT000 the central business partner data are stored, f.e. partner type, partner names, partner number, partner guid, person number, etc. In table BUTBKK the bank data to a business partner are stored.
Central business partner address data
The table ADRC is used for the address of a business partner. Table BUT020 links the business partner number with the address number. Using table BUT021 several addresses to a business partner with different usages (modes), f.e. correspondence or delivery address, can be stored. The personal data of a business partner person are stored with key person number in table ADRP. The person number is assignd to a business partner person in table BUT000. Communication data of business partners as e-mail, telephone, fax, etc. are stored in the tables ADDR1 u2013 ADDR12. The business address of a contact person or an employee consists of the organization address (company resp. org.-unit) and of an address addition, which describes f.e. a building, a room number, etc. The address addition is stored in table ADCP and is identified by the keys address number of the organization address and person number.
Relationships between business partners
Table BUT050 contains the relationships between a business partner organization and a business partner person using relation types. The relation types are defined in table TBZ9, f.e. the relation type u2018has employeeu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR010u2019, the relation type u2018has contact personu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR001u2019. Table BUT051 stores communication data of a contact person relationship (compare to table ADCP). Table BUT052 stores several address numbers to one business partner relationship (including a standard flag).
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew
