Why do PDF's offset use decimal system other than Hex?

Hi,
I found PDF format's byte offset in xref table using decimal system other than hex ,so I feel it which is really special because many file format use hex offset,e.g. tiff,PE,etc.
so I want to know why PDF format's byte offset choose to use decimal system?
Thanks!

Not a known problem. And the "already launched" problem points to an issue with Reader.
Please submit some samples with a bug report for Reader to debug.
Here is what the issue looks like (click to zoom) :
On the left side is the PDF file opened with no other instances of Adobe Reader open. On the right side is what the exact same file looks like when opened after another instance of Reader (displaying another PDF file) was already open.
It's as if the font rendering engine was incapable of multi-threading. Like Reader can only render the font properly if the PDF file in question is the only one it's got in RAM.
Worth noting :
Opening a 2nd PDF file with distorted fonts does not affect the first open PDF. That one continues to display normally. Only every subsequent instance of Reader will have this issue.
Files were saved normally via Photoshop CS5, although this issue has been present for at least 2-3 versions if not more (only started saving PDF's around that time - it's quite possible this was ALWAYS an issue).
This is strictly a SCREEN RENDERING ISSUE. The PDF file prints to paper just fine with uncorrupted fonts no matter how it looks on-screen.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this happens across multiple computers. Whether I create the PDF via Photoshop CS3 in WinXP or via Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 on a completely different computer... it will have the same issues. Tried it at work, too -- miles away from home. Same issues. Graphic cards are also from different makes, and display the same issue.
This happens to every single font in the document, regardless of how common or obscure a font it is. In this case, it's Helvetica Neue.
Again, because this important : even if the fonts look distorted on-screen, they will print out on paper just fine. This is a screen rendering issue.
Default PDF settings, no layers, vector data non-rasterized.
Hope this helps.

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

Are there any other flash players that you can use on Safari other than Adobe

Are there any other flash players that you can use on Safari other than Adobe?

Not as far as I am aware.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

What is the main use of domain other than providing technical attributes

frends let me know what is the main use of domain other than providing technical attributes

hi RajaReddy,
Domains are used to
1. specify fixed value ranges.
For eg: status type Char 1, can have fixed values stored in the domain level
as '1' - Active '2' - retired '3' - terminated '4'- temporary..etc

2. Conversion routines are attached at domain level

Conversion routine MATN1 (connected function modules are CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT), is attached for domain MATNR
3. Value table are atttached at domain level (if fixed value ranges are not mentioned)
for eg: value table mara is attached for Domain MATNR.

4. And most importantly, domains can be re-used for multiple data elements, in the same table.
Hope this helps,
Sajan Joseph.

Why some PDF docs displayed are garbled and others are not?

I've had this love hate relationship with adobe for the past few days. I'm so frustrated since I can't seem to figure why other pdf docs display information correctly while others are garbled. It looks as if the letters/text overlap. I 'm loosing sleep over this. I'm at my wits end. Can someone please help? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thanks,
C

Hi Allegria11,
Don't lose sleep over Adobe! Let's see what we can figure out. But I have lots of questions to get us started:
Are you creating the PDFs yourself, or viewing PDFs from different sources?
What are you using to view the PDFs (Reader, Acrobat, and what versions)?
Do these PDFs all use the same fonts, or different ones?
Do you know whether the fonts are embedded/subsetted in the PDFs? (You can check by choosing File > Properties and clicking the Fonts tab.
Let's start there, and we will dig deeper if none of these shed any light on the problem.
Best,
Sara

HT202447 Why doesn't Apple patch Leopard, 10.5, other than to say "disable Java"?

Why doesn't Apple discuss what it is going to do with 10.5 (Leopard) other than to say "disable Java?" Why doesnt Apple support its product, i.e., computers running 10.5 still COVERED UNDER APPLE CARE? Why must we disable Java and wait (and pay) for a Leoparad to Snow Leopard upgrade disk to arrive by SnailMail? Apple support your products especially when we own over $15,000 of your products. I used to be your biggest fan, suggesting to everyone who would listen that they should "switch over." Why are you ignoring us, still covered by Apple Care????????????

I need to use a drive other than C: to store my bookmarks how do I do this?

I use software called Deep Freeze that restores my C: drive to it's original state every time I reboot. I need to have my bookmarks stored on a drive other than C: else when I reboot any changes I've made will be lost. Is there a way to do this?

You can only do that if you create a new profile and locate that new profile on that other drive.

What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

Hello people,
Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and i might end up doing it but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?

Using still frame other than in iMovie

I have a still frame I grabbed from a movie clip. How do I move it and or save it so that I can use it in other applications, i.e., to send as an attachment with email?

Are you using imovie 08? This advice only applies for iMovie 08
If so, position your cursor at the point in your video that you would like to capture. Then right-click and select add still frame to project. You should see this still frame in your project, probably at the end. (You may want to start a new project so you don't clutter up an existing project.
Now right-click on the still frame in the project. Select revel in finder. This will bring up a finder window with the jpeg file highlighted. That is the one you want.

Why can't you use PipedXputStream in other than threaded application

I have need for usage of these in a non-threaded application, however the Javadoc indicate this should not be done.
"Attempting to use both objects from a single thread is not recommended, as it may deadlock the thread."
As the Java community is composed of some brilliant people, I am curious as to why any limitation of this sort has not been fixed/addressed?
What is the root cause of these deadlock situations?
Thanks in advance.
Steve

And that avoids the situation were you could be trying to write more than the stream buffer can hold or trying to read more than you wrote to the stream.
data = getData();
outPipe.write(data);
data = inPipe.read();
doSomethingWith(data);
// is just a roundabout way of coding
doSomethingWith(getData());

Renaming files with invalid characters in their names on NTFS partitions, introduced by operating systems other than Windows

Essentially, Linux created some files with colons (:) in the name on a NTFS partition where I have Windows installed. I have since uninstalled Linux, but now I can only view these files in Windows Explorer. I can't open them, I can't even rename them to
correct the problem. It's as if they don't exist, because of the invalid search paths.
If I try to rename them in Windows Explorer I get following message.
The file name you specified is no valid or too long.
Specify a different file name.
Well isnt' that something?... isn't that nice? Windows is able to display these files, but it doesn't allow me to open them and it certainly doesn't like me to rename them. So why is it whining about it then, when I'm trying to help? It says "try a different
file name". Yeah, right! Like I haven't tried that one already! It doesn't matter what file name I input it will never accept it.
So what am I supposed to do now? Ditch Windows and go back to Linux? Surely, Microsoft doesn't like the sound of that. Sure, I could reinstall Linux or run a Linux live system to correct the problem. But what good is Windows then? I might as well switch to
Linux altogether.
After doing some research I now know by fact that it's (kind of) possible to rename files from UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems to those compliant with Windows by using something called file name character translation. To some level this is essential and
necessary for Windows interoperability with other operating systems (Windows is not the only operating system in the world). But this seems to be very complicated and I can't get my head around it. My brain is in overload. I don't know where to start.
Once there was a...
There's the Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. The first two versions were based on MKS Toolkit, a package licensed by Microsoft from MKS Inc. The later versions were based on the similar Interix product, after Microsoft purchased the company
that made it.
Then there's the new Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). These are services for UNIX components. They are supposed to have Client for NFS v3 included as well. But the server components from the SFU line is missing (e.g. Server for NFS). These are included
in Server editions of Windows.
Then there's the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
289627: "How to Enable File Name Character Translation". This article seems to describe exactly my situation.
Windows and UNIX operating systems have restrictions on valid characters that can be used in a file name. The list of illegal characters for each operating system, however, is different. For example, a UNIX file name can use a colon (:), but a Windows
file name cannot use a colon (:). If a UNIX user attempts to create a file with a Windows illegal character on a Windows Services for UNIX network file system (NFS) share, the attempt is unsuccessful and the UNIX client computer receives an input or output
error.
It goes further than that. At first glance, this KB article also seems to offer a solution to this exact problem, with examples as shown below.
For example, the following maps the UNIX colon (:) to a Windows dash (-):
0x3a : 0x2d ; replace client : with - on server
I checked these values in charmap.exe and they are correct. Except for 2D not being a "dash", it's rather a hyphen ("hyphen minus" to be exact), but these two have pretty much the same appearance and they get interchanged a lot, I'm sure
they are used to it by now. (Yes, the characters! They don't mind.)
Then there's this registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Server For NFS\CurrentVersion\Mapping
Well, of course, I don't have Server for NFS. So this is a dead end. Well, actually, it was a dead end from the beginning...
1. First of all, I'm not working with a network share on a NAS or SAN storage. The files are on the local disk drive where Windows is installed, so that's a DAS for you.
2. I don't have SFU! Well obviously, I'm on Windows Vista! So that means SUA!
3. SUA are service components only. No server components. Can you guess what that means? Yeah... no "Server for NFS" since it's a server component.
4. Windows Vista is a client side operating system! Server for NFS is only offered for use with Windows Server systems.
5. Back to square one!
So there you have it. They all lived happy for the rest of their lives...
I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me what to do? I mean beyond the obvious option to use Linux to fixa a Windows problem? The NTFS file system itself supports colons in file names. It's Windows that doesn't, and so by default it proclaims it invalid character.
Surely, even a Windows client operating system like Windows Vista should be able to allow the user to at least rename files with invalid characters to something more sensible (from the system point of view) and valid, if not being able to open them as they
are. Just add some crazy voodoo code to it and it will work. If you can make it possible on Windows Server with UNIX user-mode subsystem on NT kernel, then what's stopping you from giving the Windows client system the same benefit?
So what now? Purchase a Windows Server 2012 R2 license, copy my invalid files to a NAS share with NFS on a UNIX or Linux system, and have a go at the Windows registry and Server for NFS? Yeah... you're right, it's probably a bit over the top...
On a second thought... I might as well install Linux again. There are countless situations where Linux has helped me solve problems related to, and more often than not caused by Windows.

WSUS Repair: Can I not use a drive other than C:?

I used the wizard to move the WSUS folders from the C: drive to the SBS2008's D: drive in order to recover C: drive disk space as so many others have had to do. Now ofcourse, the system says it no longer is installed as designed and updates to domain
computers no longer works.
There is a good TechNet article on how to "Repair Windows Server Update Services" but it assumes the WSUS directory must be created on C: which ofcourse is not what I want.
I appreciate there are SQL issues involved here, but if I simply specify D: as the partition to create the WSUS directory, substitute D:\WSUS in the wsussetup.exe parameters (from the section in that article headed 'To manually recover Windows Server
Update Services), will this work?
Thanks in advance
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
à
if I simply specify D: as the partition to create the WSUS directory, substitute D:\WSUS in the wsussetup.exe parameters (from the section in that article headed 'To manually
recover Windows Server Update Services), will this work?
I suggest that you should follow the step “create a directory called WSUS on the C: partition” to
repair WSUS as described in this TechNet article (Repair Windows Server Update Services). It will help us to avoid unexpected issues.
à
I used the wizard to move the WSUS folders from the C: drive to the SBS2008's D: drive in order to recover C: drive disk space as so many others have had to do.
After repairing WSUS, please refer to following article and check if help you to
move WSUS Content and Database Files to a Different Volume.
How
to Move WSUS Content and Database Files to a Different Volume
Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if help you to recover disk space on C drive.

Hope this helps.
