create and save pdf

2004-01-15 Thread Mark van den Elzen
Hello List,
 
I'm hoping to find some help here, a client wants me to create a
database driven application for his products. This is not the problem
the problem is his demand for being able to export a "page" with images
to a pdf file on his HD. I have been searching the internet for the best
way to accomplish this task, the only xtra I have found that claims it
could do the trick is the DirectImage xtra (used to be directXport). 
Is there anybody out there that has used this xtra to dynamically
create/export a PDF? What are the limitations? Is there a better
solution? 
I own a copy of PdfXtra (V. 2.2), but it seams to have no options to
create/edit a pdf.
 
Many thanks in for any help,

Mark van den Elzen

RE: Print PDF file

2003-03-19 Thread Mark van den Elzen
I have successively used the PDF Xtra from Integration New Media with
success for several projects to print pdf files, another solution then
the one you try to achieve but if you get stuck on the BuddyAPI way...




I apologize if this is not the right forum for this question, but...

I am attempting to print a pdf file from a cd without the user seeing
the acrobat reader interface.  I am using BuddyAPI.  I am running the
program full screen.  When testing from my hard drive, I click the
button that is used to print the pdf, my taskbar pops up and I have to
click back on the director program again to regain focus.  Is there a
way to run this script without having my taskbar appear and thus taking
focus of the director program?  

BTW... I am using the following code to print the pdf file...

on mouseDown
  vResult = baPrintFile("acrobat.pdf") 
End

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I use a xtra so I won't have to install Quicktime?

2003-01-30 Thread Mark van den Elzen
Hello you all, Is there an xtra out there who can play quicktime in a
cd-rom presentation even if the user does not have quicktime installed?
I believe the direct media mpeg xtra could do this, but I can't reach
there site and I don't know if it would work with the Sorenson codec..


Thanks in advance, Mark

RE: speech

2002-12-20 Thread Mark van den Elzen

Something is wrong with the extra, when I try to add it to my movie
extra list I can't find it. But I did found it in the xtra folder of
director. 
I really wanted to test the extra so I kept trying new things. I got the
thing to work, I used the sample code, created an projector and when you
run the projector no errors and you can hear your computer speak! 
I don't know why it is not working from within director, and it might be
working in the full package (I use the first demo)



--

installed DMX 2 days ago, en now got a mail saying there is an update on

trial because it was buggy on the speech thing... unstalled the old one,

installed the new one, but no speech at all.
how do you make the speech running? got nothing in lib, no xtra...
if i put servicevoice()  as describe in note at M site, got "handler not

definied", so i guess the xtra is just ain't there at all...or i'am 
totally blind.

someone can point me out the way to give a voice to my texts?

RE: property's in property lists

2002-12-19 Thread Mark van den Elzen
Thanks a lot, well worth looking into. Been working to hard I think, I'm
overlooking obvious things. Well almost Christmas :D 


-

I think this will work: assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a string

property pMyProperty, pMyList 
 
on new me 
pMyProperty = #thisOne --assign pMyProperty a symbol instead of a
string
pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne:
[3,3,3]] 
end 
 
on myHandler me 
 put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a
string called "pMyProperty" instead of for my property "thisOne" 
end 
 
ng with programming Lingo.  Thanks!]

property's in property lists

2002-12-19 Thread Mark van den Elzen
Hello I'm new to this list, my question might had an answer before but I
need help rather quickly.
I want to extract info from a property list using a property. I know
this sounds confusing so I will use an example: 
 
 
property pMyProperty, pMyList 
 
on new me 
pMyProperty = "thisOne" 
pMyList = [#notTheOne: [1,1,1], #thisOne: [2,2,2], #notThisOne:
[3,3,3]] 
end 
 
on myHandler me 
 put pMyList.pMyProperty --- this is my problem, it searches for a
string called "pMyProperty" instead of for my property "thisOne" 
end 
 
 
I hope I was clear enough, any help would be appreciated! 
Mark
