Re: stylized text
HI Thanks for the info. I think it would be a great idea to put this in the documentation, as it is far from intuitive. This is especially true when working from the first character in the text. I for one would never see that there was a space counted in position one even though t did not really exist Great explanation Chuck Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.

They offer plugins to sign PDFs directly or you can interact with the signing app directly via command line to get signatures as PNGs.

Re: PDFjs component - display PDFs without a plug-in
Hello, thank you for the component! The only thing I´m missing is the "Print the pdf" ? Is there a way to print the displayed PDF-File? Thank you in advance. Axel Kohlepp Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech schrieb: Hey everyone, I've created a component and small demo database that lets you use the open source Mozilla PDFjs framework to display PDFs in a web area without using a plug-in. The PDFs are rendered entirely in JavaScript code and does not require anything extra -- no plug-ins in 4D or your browser. It's compatible with 4D 32-bit as well as High Sierra. It's pretty cool. It's supposed to work with Windows on systems with IE versions > 9 installed, but so far I haven't been able to make it work, but I have a very limited test bed of Windows machines to work with. The component and demo are written in 4D v15, and I've included the uncompiled component. The only platform-specific code is in the demo -- the button "Open PDF in Default App" uses AppleScript -- again, there's not much Windows availability here, so I cheated just to get this posted. The PDFjs framework itself is slightly modified - it removes a few buttons from the viewer toolbar that crashed 4D (it's located in the Resources folder inside the component package). But that functionality can be replaced in your 4D form as in the demo. You can print a draft-quality PDF by right-clicking in the web area. A high quality print can be obtained by using the button to save a copy of the PDF or to open it in the default app. You could also script Preview to print it, as well as write scripts to send the PDF to Mail as an attachment. I'll put this on GitHub eventually. In the meantime I'll take any improvements you folks can contribute (just email me). Hope you like it!

Re: procedurally delete anchored image in 4D Write Pro
I think you need to first change the layout to inline (by UI or code), in order to delete an image. but the attribute "wk anchor layout" is not settable with WP SET ATTRIBUTES http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R6/4D/16-R6/4D-Write-Pro-Attributes.300-3605889.en.html so you need to use INVOKE ACTION instead. syntax: anchorLayout?value=inline http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R6/4D/16-R6/Using-4D-Write-Pro-standard-actions.200-3605850.en.html#3610756 only then can you clear the selected image. > 2018/05/24 8:03、Justin Carr via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール： > INVOKE ACTION(ak clear;ak current form) ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

Seems to make no difference to me? The INVOKE ACTION(ak clear;ak current form) works regardless of the images being forced inline or left as anchored. The main "trick" is that the Write Pro area MUST have the focus, i.e. if you're trying to execute this code from a button, then that button must not be focussable. cheers J ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
